2) Data Collection When Visiting Our Website

2.1 When using our website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called "server log files"). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

The page of our website you visited
Date and time at the moment of access
Amount of data sent in bytes
Source/reference from which you came to the page
Browser used
Operating system used
IP address used (where applicable: in anonymised form)

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be passed on or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to check the server log files subsequently if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.

2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g. orders or enquiries to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption.

4) Cookies

To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, i.e. small text files that are stored on your end device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after closing your browser (so-called "session cookies"), while others remain on your end device for longer and enable page settings to be saved (so-called "persistent cookies"). In the latter case, you can find the storage period in the overview of the cookie settings of your web browser.

Insofar as personal data is also processed by individual cookies used by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point b GDPR for the performance of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR in the case of consent given, or in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the page visit.

5) Contacting Us

Exclusively on the basis of your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR, we use your e-mail address to send you a one-time reminder to submit a review of your order. You can revoke your consent at any time by sending a message to the controller responsible for data processing.

5.2 Zendesk

To process customer enquiries, we use the e-mail ticketing system of the following provider: Zendesk International Ltd., 55 Charlemont Place, Saint Kevin's, Dublin D02 F985, Ireland

If you send us contact enquiries by e-mail via our website, these are stored and organised in the ticket system in order to enable chronological processing and to improve the service experience. You can always view the current status of the processing of your enquiry via the individually assigned ticket number.

For the organisation and processing of enquiries, personal data is collected to the extent that it is provided, but in any case name, first name and e-mail address are collected, transmitted to the provider, stored there and retrieved.

The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in the efficient design of our customer service, in answering your enquiry as quickly as possible and in optimising our service offering pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

5.3 WhatsApp Business

You have the option of contacting us via the messaging service WhatsApp provided by WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. For this purpose, we use the so-called "Business Version" of WhatsApp.

If you contact us via WhatsApp in connection with a specific transaction (for example an order you have placed), we store and use the mobile telephone number you use with WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point b GDPR in order to process and answer your enquiry. On the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide further data (order number, customer number, address or e-mail address) in order to be able to allocate your enquiry to a specific transaction.

If you use our WhatsApp contact for general enquiries (for example about our range of services, availability or our website), we store and use the mobile telephone number you use with WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient and prompt provision of the requested information.

Your data will always be used only to answer your enquiry via WhatsApp. It will not be passed on to third parties.

Please note that WhatsApp Business gains access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transfers telephone numbers stored in the address book to a server of the parent company Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. To operate our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device whose address book stores exclusively the WhatsApp contact data of those users who have also contacted us via WhatsApp.

This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact data is stored in our address book has already consented, pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR, to the transmission of their WhatsApp telephone number from the address books of their chat contacts when first using the app on their device by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use. The transmission of data of users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.

For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by WhatsApp, as well as your related rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy notices: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider which protects our site visitors' data and prohibits disclosure to third parties.

In the course of the processing described above, data may be transferred to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

5.4 When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), personal data is processed – exclusively for the purpose of processing and answering your enquiry and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.

The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in answering your enquiry pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) point b GDPR. Your data will be deleted if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and provided that no statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

6) Data Processing When Opening a Customer Account

Pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point b GDPR, personal data will continue to be collected and processed to the extent required in each case if you provide us with this data when opening a customer account. You can find the data required for opening an account in the input mask of the corresponding form on our website.

Deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be carried out by sending a message to the above address of the controller. After deletion of your customer account, your data will be deleted, provided that all contracts concluded via the account have been fully processed, no statutory retention periods prevent deletion and no legitimate interest in continued storage remains on our part.

7) Use of Customer Data for Direct Advertising

7.1 Subscribing to our e-mail newsletter

If you subscribe to our e-mail newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. Providing further data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. For sending the newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure, which ensures that you will only receive newsletters once you have expressly confirmed your consent to receiving them by clicking a verification link sent to the e-mail address you provided.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to the use of your personal data pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR. In this context, we store the IP address assigned by your internet service provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace any possible misuse of your e-mail address at a later point in time. The data collected by us when you subscribe to the newsletter is used strictly for this purpose.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the controller named at the beginning. After you have unsubscribed, your e-mail address will be deleted from our newsletter distribution list without delay, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data more extensively in a manner permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

7.2 Sending the e-mail newsletter to existing customers

If you have provided us with your e-mail address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to send you regular e-mail offers for goods or services from our range similar to those you have already purchased. Pursuant to Section 7 (3) of the German Act against Unfair Competition (UWG), we do not need to obtain separate consent from you for this. In this respect, data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalised direct advertising pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose, we will not send you any e-mails.

You are entitled to object at any time, with effect for the future, to the use of your e-mail address for the aforementioned advertising purpose by notifying the controller named at the beginning. In this respect, you will only incur transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your e-mail address for advertising purposes will cease without delay.

7.3 Klaviyo

Our e-mail newsletters are sent via the following provider: Klaviyo, Inc., 125 Summer St., Ste 600, Boston, MA 02110, USA

On the basis of our legitimate interest in effective and user-friendly newsletter marketing, we pass on the data you provided when subscribing to the newsletter to this provider pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR so that the provider can send the newsletter on our behalf.

Subject to your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR, the provider also carries out a statistical evaluation of the success of newsletter campaigns by means of web beacons or tracking pixels in the e-mails sent, which can measure open rates and specific interactions with the newsletter content. In this context, end device information (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system) is also collected and evaluated, but not combined with other data sets.

You can revoke your consent to newsletter tracking at any time with effect for the future.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider which protects our site visitors' data and prohibits disclosure to third parties.

7.4 WhatsApp newsletter

If you subscribe to our WhatsApp newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers via WhatsApp. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your mobile telephone number.

To receive the newsletter, you add the mobile telephone number we have provided to the contacts of your mobile device and send us the message "Start" via WhatsApp. By sending this WhatsApp message, you give us your consent to the use of your personal data pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR for the purpose of sending the newsletter. We will then add you to our newsletter distribution list.

The data collected by us when you subscribe to the newsletter is processed exclusively for the purpose of promotional communication by way of the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by sending us the message "Stop" via WhatsApp. After you have unsubscribed, your mobile telephone number will be deleted from our newsletter distribution list without delay, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data more extensively in a manner permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

For sending our WhatsApp newsletter, we therefore use a mobile device whose address book stores exclusively the WhatsApp contact data of our newsletter recipients. This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact data is stored in our address book has already consented, pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR, to the transmission of their WhatsApp telephone number from the address books of their chat contacts when first using the app on their device by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use. The transmission of data of users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with WhatsApp which protects our newsletter recipients' data and prohibits disclosure to third parties.

In the course of the processing described above, data may be transferred to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.

Subject to your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR, the provider also carries out a statistical evaluation of the success of newsletter campaigns by means of web beacons or tracking pixels in the WhatsApp messages sent, which can measure open rates and specific interactions with the newsletter content. In this context, end device information (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system) is also collected and evaluated, but not combined with other data sets.

You can revoke your consent to newsletter tracking at any time with effect for the future.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider which protects our site visitors' data and prohibits disclosure to third parties.

7.6 Product availability notification by e-mail

In this case, we will send you a one-time message by e-mail about the availability of the item you have selected. The only mandatory information for sending this notification is your e-mail address.

You can cancel the availability notifications at any time by sending a corresponding message to the controller named at the beginning. After you have unsubscribed, your e-mail address will be deleted from the distribution list set up for this purpose without delay, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data more extensively in a manner permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

9) Web Analysis Services

9.1 Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), which enables an analysis of your use of our website.

By default, when you visit the website, Google Analytics 4 sets cookies, which are stored as small text elements on your end device and collect certain information. This information also includes your IP address, which is, however, shortened by Google by the last digits in order to exclude direct personal identifiability.

The information is transferred to Google servers and processed further there. Transfers to Google LLC, based in the USA, are also possible.

Google uses the collected information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities for us and to provide further services related to website use and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser and shortened within the scope of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. The data collected in connection with the use of Google Analytics 4 is stored for a period of two months and then deleted.

All of the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies on the end device used, only takes place if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR. Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to our website. You can revoke consent you have given at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service via the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

Further legal information on Google Analytics 4 can be found at https://business.safety.google/intl/en/privacy/, https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en and https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Demographic characteristics

Google Analytics 4 uses the special function "demographic characteristics" and can use it to create statistics containing statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This is done by analysing advertising and information from third-party providers. This makes it possible to identify target groups for marketing activities. However, the data collected cannot be assigned to a specific person and is deleted after being stored for a period of two months.

Google Signals

As an extension of Google Analytics 4, Google Signals may be used on this website in order to have cross-device reports created. If you have activated personalised ads and linked your devices to your Google account, Google can, subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR, analyse your usage behaviour across devices and create database models on this basis, including on cross-device conversions. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you wish to stop the cross-device analysis, you can deactivate the "personalised advertising" function in the settings of your Google account. To do so, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en Further information on Google Signals can be found at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=en

UserIDs

As an extension of Google Analytics 4, the "UserIDs" function may be used on this website. If you have consented to the use of Google Analytics 4 pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR, have set up an account on this website and log in to this account on different devices, your activities, including conversions, can be analysed across devices.

Collection of user-provided data

In order to improve the analysis results for users whose contact data we have received within the framework of business or business-like relationships, we use the "collection of user-provided data" function.

Subject to your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR, we transmit one or more files with customer data aggregated for your person (primarily e-mail address and telephone number) to Google electronically as part of this function. Google does not receive access to plain data, but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to assign it to existing Google accounts set up by the data subjects.

The processing serves to make measurement data more precise, improves cross-device user traceability and enables analysis results to be integrated into advertising personalisation and conversion tracking functions of Google Ads.

You can revoke your consent to us at any time with effect for the future. Further information on Google's data protection measures with regard to the transmission of customer data can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=en&ref_topic=10550182

9.2 Google Tag Manager

This website uses "Google Tag Manager", a service of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: "Google").

Google Tag Manager provides a technical basis for bundling various web applications, including tracking and analysis services, and for calibrating, controlling and linking them to conditions via a uniform user interface. Google Tag Manager itself does not store any information on users' end devices or read such information. Nor does the service carry out any independent data analyses.

By means of cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading end device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymised visitor data, including information about the end device used such as the IP address and browser information, in order to evaluate it for statistical analyses of usage behaviour on our website and to create pseudonymised usage profiles.

10) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

10.1 Meta Pixel with advanced matching

Within our online offering, we use the service "Meta Pixel" in advanced matching mode from the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta")

If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is extended by a parameter with the help of "Meta Pixel". After the redirect, this URL parameter is then written into the user's browser by a cookie that our linked page sets itself. In addition, this cookie records specific customer data such as the e-mail address that we collect on our website linked to the Facebook or Instagram advertisement during processes such as purchases, account logins or registrations (advanced matching). The cookie is then read and enables the transmission of the data, including the specific customer data, to Meta.

We use "Meta Pixel" with advanced matching in order to make our advertisements (so-called "ads") on Facebook and/or Instagram more effective and to ensure that they correspond to users' interests or display certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) which we transmit to Meta (so-called "custom audiences").

In addition, we analyse the effectiveness of our advertisements by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement (conversion). Compared with the standard version of "Meta Pixel", the advanced matching function helps us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns more accurately by recording more attributed conversions.

All transmitted data is stored and processed by Meta so that it can be assigned to the respective user profile and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Meta's data usage policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data may enable Meta and its partners to serve advertisements on and outside Facebook.

All of the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the end device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR. You can revoke consent you have given at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Meta is usually transferred to a Meta server and stored there; in this context, transfer to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA may also occur.

10.2 Google Ads Remarketing

This website uses retargeting technology of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

For this purpose, Google sets a cookie in the browser of your end device which automatically enables interest-based advertising by means of a pseudonymous cookie ID and on the basis of the pages you have visited. Any further data processing only takes place if you have agreed with Google that your internet and app browsing history may be linked by Google to your Google account and that information from your Google account may be used to personalise advertisements you view on the web. In this case, if you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google uses your data together with Google Analytics data in order to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, your personal data is temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data in order to form target groups. In connection with the use of Google Ads Remarketing, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

All of the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the end device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR.

10.3 Google Ads Conversion Tracking

This website uses the online advertising programme "Google Ads" and, within the scope of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising media. In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. Our aim is to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an Ads advertisement placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end device. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their advertisement and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

In connection with the use of Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

Details on the processing initiated by Google Ads conversion tracking and on Google's handling of data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

You can also permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads conversion tracking by downloading and installing the Google browser plug-in available at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=en

In order to address users whose data we have received within the framework of business or business-like relationships in a more interest-based advertising manner, we use a customer match function within the scope of Google Ads. For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (primarily e-mail addresses and telephone numbers) to Google electronically. Google does not receive access to plain data, but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to assign it to existing Google accounts set up by the data subjects. This enables personalised advertising to be delivered across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

Customer data is only transmitted to Google if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR. You can revoke this consent to us at any time with effect for the future. Further information on Google's data protection measures with regard to the customer match function can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=en&ref_topic=10550182
