Data protection

We are pleased that you are interested in our online shop. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we will inform you in detail about how we handle your data.

Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the data. Failure to provide the data has no consequences. This only applies if no other information is provided in the subsequent processing operations.

“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Server log files

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information.

Every time you access our website, usage data is transmitted to us or our web host/IT service provider through your Internet browser and stored in protocol data (so-called server log files). This stored data includes, for example, the name of the page accessed, the date and time of access, the IP address, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in ensuring the trouble-free operation of our website and to improve our offering.

Your data may be transferred to third countries outside the European Union for which an adequacy decision has been made by the EU Commission. If there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission, such as for transfers to the USA, the data transfers are based, among other things, on standard contractual clauses as suitable guarantees for the protection of personal data, which can be viewed at: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_de

Advertising tracking

Use of Google Analytics

We use the web analysis service Google Analytics from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google") on our website. If you are habitually resident in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the controller responsible for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the company affiliated with Google that is responsible for processing your data and compliance with applicable data protection laws.

The data processing serves the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. For this purpose, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide the website operator with other services related to website activity and internet usage. The following information may be collected, among others: IP address, date and time of the page visit, click path, information about the browser you use and the device you use, pages visited, referrer URL (website through which you accessed our website), location data, purchasing activities. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Google Analytics uses technologies such as cookies, web storage in the browser and tracking pixels, which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated in this way about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. There is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for the USA. The data transfer takes place on the basis of standard contractual clauses as suitable guarantees for the protection of personal data, which can be viewed at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks . Both Google and US government authorities have access to your data. Google may link your data to other data, such as your search history, your personal accounts, your usage data from other devices and any other data that Google has about you.

IP anonymization is activated on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

The use of cookies or similar technologies is based on Section 15 Paragraph 3 Sentence 1 of the Telemedia Act. The processing of your personal data is based on Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in the needs-based and targeted design of the website. You have the right to object to this processing of personal data concerning you at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation.

You can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by Google Analytics and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

To prevent data collection and storage by Google Analytics across devices, you can set an opt-out cookie. Opt-out cookies prevent your data from being collected in the future when you visit this website. You must opt out on all systems and devices used for this to have a comprehensive effect. If you delete the opt-out cookie, requests will be sent to Google again. If you click here, the opt-out cookie will be set: Deactivate Google Analytics.

Use of the Facebook Pixel

We use the “Custom Audiences” remarketing function of Facebook Ireland Limited (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland “Facebook”) on our website.

Facebook Ireland and we are jointly responsible for the collection of your data when the service is integrated and the transmission of this data to Facebook. This is based on an agreement between us and Facebook Ireland on the joint processing of personal data, in which the respective responsibilities are specified. The agreement can be accessed at https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum . According to this, we are particularly responsible for fulfilling the information obligations according to Art. 13, 14 GDPR, for compliance with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR with regard to the correct technical implementation and configuration of the service and for compliance with the obligations under Art. 33, 34 GDPR, insofar as a breach of the protection of personal data affects our obligations under the agreement on joint processing. Facebook Ireland is responsible for enabling the rights of those affected in accordance with Art. 15 - 20 GDPR, for complying with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR with regard to the security of the service and for complying with the obligations under Art. 33 and 34 GDPR, insofar as a breach of the protection of personal data affects Facebook Ireland's obligations under the joint processing agreement. The application serves the purpose of targeting visitors to the website with interest-based advertising on the Facebook social network. For this purpose, Facebook's remarketing tag has been implemented on the website. This tag establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers when you visit the website. This transmits to the Facebook server which of our pages you have visited. Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. When you visit the Facebook social network, you will then be shown personalized, interest-based Facebook ads. Your data may be transmitted to the USA. There is no adequacy decision from the EU Commission for the USA. The data transfer is based, among other things, on standard contractual clauses as appropriate guarantees for the protection of personal data, which can be viewed at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum .

Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking

We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" on our website and, as part of this, conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). If you are habitually resident in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the controller responsible for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the company affiliated with Google that is responsible for processing your data and compliance with applicable data protection laws.

When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. This means that there is no way that cookies can be tracked across Ads customers' websites.

The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

Your data may be transferred to the USA. There is no adequacy decision from the EU Commission for the USA. The data transfer takes place on the basis of standard contractual clauses as appropriate guarantees for the protection of personal data, which can be viewed at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks .

The use of cookies or similar technologies is based on Section 15 Paragraph 3 Sentence 1 of the Telemedia Act. The processing of your personal data is based on Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in targeting site visitors with interest-based advertising. You have the right to object to this processing of personal data concerning you at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation.

You can deactivate personalized advertising in the Google advertising settings. You can find instructions on how to do this at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de

Alternatively, you can prevent the use of cookies by third parties by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative deactivation page at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the additional opt-out information provided there. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

Use of Google AdSense

We use the AdSense function of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google") on our website.

Use of the remarketing or “similar audiences” function of Google Inc.

The cookies record visits to the website and anonymized data about website usage. No personal data of website visitors is stored. If you subsequently visit another website in the Google Display Network, you will be shown advertisements that are highly likely to take into account previously viewed product and information areas.

The use of cookies or similar technologies is based on Section 15 Paragraph 3 Sentence 1 of the Telemedia Act. The processing of your personal data is based on Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in targeting site visitors with interest-based advertising.

The Google Tag Manager itself does not store cookies, nor does it process personal data. However, it does enable the triggering of additional tags that can collect and process personal data.

Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found here .

Use of social plug-ins via “Shariff”

We use social network plug-ins on our website. To ensure that you retain control over your data, we use the privacy-safe “Shariff” buttons.

Without your express consent, no links will be established to the social network servers and consequently no data will be transmitted.

“Shariff” is a development by specialists at the computer magazine c't. It enables more privacy on the Internet and replaces the usual “Share” buttons on social networks. You can find more information about the Shariff project herehttps://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html .

When you click on the buttons, a pop-up window appears in which you can log in to the respective provider using your data. Only after you have actively logged in will a direct connection to the social networks be established.

By logging in, you consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social media provider. This includes, among other things, your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The social networks named below are integrated using the “Shariff” function.

Further information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of data as well as your rights and options for protecting your privacy can be found in the linked data protection notices of the providers.

Facebook of Facebook Inc. (1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA) https://www.facebook.com/policy.php

Pinterest from Pinterest Inc. (635 High Street, Palo Alto, CA, 94301, USA) https://about.pinterest.com/de/privacy-policy

Your data may be transferred to the USA. There is no adequacy decision from the EU Commission for the USA.

Use of social plug-ins using the “2-click solution”

We use social network plug-ins on our website using the “2-click solution”. Without your express consent, no connections are established to the social network servers and consequently no data is transmitted.

With the standard integration of plug-ins, when you access the pages of our website that contain such a plug-in, a link is established between your computer and the servers of the provider of the social network, and the plug-in is displayed on the page by a message to your browser. Both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Transmission also takes place for unregistered or unlogged users. If you are also logged in to the Facebook social network, this information is assigned to your personal user account. When you use the plug-in functions (e.g. by pressing the button), this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. So that you retain control over your data, we have decided to deactivate the corresponding button initially. You can recognize this by the grayed out button. Without your express consent – in the form of activating the button – no link will be established to the social network server and consequently no data will be transmitted.

Only when you activate the button, the button becomes active (highlighted in color) and a direct connection to the servers of the social network is established.

By activating, you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective provider of the social network. This will include, among other things, your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your user accounts on the social networks before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.

The social networks named below are integrated using the “2-click function”. Further information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of data as well as your rights and options for protecting your privacy can be found in the linked data protection notices of the providers.

When you visit pages on our website that contain such a plug-in, a connection is established to the Vimeo servers and the plug-in is displayed on the page by sending a message to your browser. This means that both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the Vimeo servers.
