Personal data refers to all information that can be directly or indirectly related to you personally. This includes, for example, your name, address, email address, online identifiers and user behaviour if you are or could be identified by this information or these actions..
We use secure SSL encryption on our website to protect your personal data and other confidential content (e.g. when placing orders).
If you have any questions regarding the collection, processing or use of your personal data, or if you wish to request information, correction, blocking or deletion of data, or revoke any consent you may have given or object to a specific data processing operation, please contact the responsible person listed below or our data protection officer.

You can contact our data protection officer at [email protected] or at our postal address with the addition ‘The Data Protection Officer’.
Below, we provide information about your rights regarding your personal data. You have, free of charge,
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority responsible for us (https://www.datenschutz.hessen.de/) regarding our processing of your personal data (Art. 77 GDPR).
When you use our website for informational purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. When you visit our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure the stability and security of our website:
This general data and information is stored in our server's log files only temporarily and separately from your personal data, which you may voluntarily submit to us. The data and information collected anonymously in the log files is evaluated by us solely for statistical purposes with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company and ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process.
The legal basis for data processing in connection with server log files is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collection for the provision of the website, this is the case when you end the respective session. The collection of data is absolutely necessary for the provision and storage in log files for the operation of our website. Therefore, you have no option to object to this data processing.
You can contact us at any time using the email address provided. In this case, we will store the personal data you provide in your email.
The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If contact is made for the purpose of fulfilling a contract or pre-contractual measures, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR is the supplementary legal basis. We use the data to respond to your request. We delete the data collected in this context once storage is no longer necessary, or restrict processing if there are legal retention obligations. You can object to the processing at any time. Please address your objection to the controller mentioned above. However, correspondence cannot then be continued.
We use the data exclusively to respond to your request. We delete the data collected in this context once it is no longer necessary to store it, or restrict its processing if there are legal retention obligations. You can revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data provided via the contact form at any time. If you contact us by email, you can object to the processing at any time. Please address your objection or revocation to the above-mentioned controller. However, correspondence cannot be continued in this case.
On our website, we offer you the option of registering and opening a customer account by providing personal data. For this purpose, the following data (mandatory information) will be collected from you, transmitted to us (SSL-encrypted), and stored:
When you register, we also store your IP address and the date and time of registration. We only store further data if you voluntarily provide it to us. In your customer account, you can manage your personal data, view past and open orders and invoices, submit retailer and product reviews, and set your preferred payment method. However, registration is not necessary if you wish to take advantage of additional services offered by our company, such as concluding purchase contracts via the shopping cart function. Alternatively, you can also place orders as a “guest” without registering.
The legal basis for processing your data when you register is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You have the option of changing the personal data you provided during registration at any time or having it completely deleted from our database. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected by this. You may revoke your consent to the processing of your data at any time. However, if the data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, premature deletion of the data is only possible if there are no contractual or legal obligations that prevent deletion. Revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before revocation.
We also use cookies when you use our website. Cookies are small text files that are assigned to your browser or by your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies enable us to improve the performance and offerings of our website. Some cookies are essential for the operation of our website. Cookies enable us to
We use two types of cookies on our website: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary cookies that are stored on your computer system until you leave our website. Session cookies store a so-called session ID, which can be used to assign various requests from your browser to a shared session. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser. Persistent cookies are stored on your hard drive until you delete them or the cookies reach their respective expiration date. We use these persistent cookies to check whether you are still logged into your customer account (storage period: 1 day) and, if necessary, to save the location you have selected in the Google Maps function on our website (storage period: up to 2 months).
In addition to our own cookies, we also use third-party cookies. These are third-party providers such as Google, which also store cookies on your computer system when you visit our website so that the third-party providers can provide the services they offer. We provide separate information about third-party cookies, their purpose, and their storage duration in this privacy policy.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if the processing serves to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures. In other cases, processing is based either on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the optimal functionality of our website and a customer-friendly presentation and evaluation of your visit. Detailed information on the specific cookies used, their type, and storage period can be found at the end of this privacy policy.
You can configure your browser settings to accept or reject third-party cookies or all cookies individually. Please note that you may not be able to use all the features of our website if you disable cookies in your browser.
We use the consent management tool “consentmanager” (www.consentmanager.net) from Jaohawi AB (Håltgelvågen 1b, 72348 Västerås, Sweden, [email protected]) on our website to request consent for data processing or the use of cookies or similar functions. With the help of “consentmanager,” you have the option of giving or refusing your consent for certain functionalities of our website, e.g., for the purpose of integrating external elements, integrating streaming content, statistical analysis, reach measurement, and personalized advertising. With the help of “consentmanager,” you can give or refuse your consent for all functions or give your consent for individual purposes or individual functions. You can also change the settings you have made at a later date. The purpose of integrating “consentmanager” is to leave the decision on the above-mentioned matters to you and to offer you the option of changing settings you have already made when you continue to use our website. When using “consentmanager,” personal data and information about the end devices used, such as the IP address, are processed.
The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (c) in conjunction with Art. 6 (3) (a) in conjunction with Art. 7 (1) GDPR and, alternatively, (f). Our legitimate interests in processing lie in storing user settings and preferences regarding the use of cookies and other functionalities. “consentmanager” stores your data for as long as your user settings are active. Two years after the user settings have been made, consent is requested again. The user settings you have made will then be stored again for this period. You can object to the processing. You have the right to object for reasons arising from your particular situation. To object, please contact us by email at [email protected].
If you would like to place an order in our online shop, it is not necessary to open a customer account by entering your personal data in order to conclude a contract. You can also place your order as a “guest” by entering your data. However, if you do not provide your data, you will not be able to use the order function of our online shop. We process the data you provide to process your order, including our services in the event of cancellations, claims for defects, and to respond to your inquiries.
Your personal data will only be transferred to third parties if this is necessary for contract and payment processing. Third parties commissioned by us, such as shipping partners and payment service providers, will only receive personal data if its transfer is necessary for the delivery of your order and for payment processing.
For the processing of returns within the scope of your statutory right of withdrawal or in the event of claims for defects, we use the partner retailer named on the return slip as the recipient of the return. Our overriding interest in this processing stems from the consideration that we can avoid additional shipping costs that would otherwise be incurred by us for sending the item from our place of business to our partner retailer.
Payment via PayPal
If you choose to pay with PayPal during the ordering process, your personal data will be automatically transferred to PayPal. PayPal is a service provided by PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg. PayPal acts as an online payment service provider and trustee and offers buyer protection services.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal usually includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. Personal data related to the respective order (such as number of items, item number, invoice amount, taxes, and other billing information) is also required to process the purchase contract.
The transfer of your data is necessary for payment processing via PayPal and serves to confirm your identity and administer your payment instruction. PayPal may pass on your personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors if this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or if the data is processed on behalf of PayPal. The personal data we transmit to PayPal may be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to verify identity and creditworthiness. You can see which credit agencies are involved here: https://www.paypal.com/de/legalhub/paypal/privacy-full?locale.x=en_DE.
You have the option to revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data by PayPal at any time. However, revoking your consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent prior to revocation, provided that the personal data must be processed, used, or transmitted for contractual payment processing.
You can access PayPal's privacy policy at https://www.paypal.com/de/legalhub/paypal/privacy-full?locale.x=en_DE.
Zinia purchase on account
In collaboration with Open Bank S.A., Plaza de Santa Bárbara 1 y 2, 28004 Madrid (Spain), we offer consumers who are at least 18 years of age the payment method “Zinia purchase on account.”
When you select this payment method, we assign our payment claims from the purchase contract concluded with you to Zinia. Zinia will carry out a credit check before accepting the assignment. For this purpose, we will transfer your personal data (title, name, address, date of birth, billing and delivery address, invoice amount, contents of your shopping cart) to Zinia if you consent to the transfer and subsequent data processing by Zinia in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR during the ordering process.
If you do not consent to the transfer of data to Zinia, you will unfortunately not be able to use the “Zinia purchase on account” payment method. In the event of a negative credit check by Zinia, we reserve the right to refer you to one of our other payment methods. If the “Zinia purchase on account” payment method is accepted, you can only pay the purchase price with debt-discharging effect to Zinia to the account specified in the invoice. However, we remain your contractual partner and contact for all other questions regarding contract processing.
Further information on Zinia's privacy policy and the consent to data transfer obtained during the ordering process can be found here: Zinia Privacy Policy.
The legal basis for the processing of your data in connection with the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. For the receipt of items in returns by our partner retailer, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR is the legal basis for processing.
We are required by commercial and tax law to store your address, payment, and order data in connection with a purchase contract for a period of ten years. However, after two years, we restrict processing, which means that your data will only be stored to comply with legal obligations.
Payment via credit card (VISA/MasterCard)
Payment processing for credit card payments is handled by our payment service provider Adyen N.V. German Branch, Jägerstraße 27, 10117 Berlin. When you select this payment method, the payment details you provide during the ordering process (including your name, address, credit card information, currency, and transaction number) as well as information about the contents of your order will be passed on to Ayden N.V. in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Your data will be transmitted solely for the purpose of payment processing.
Payment via Google Pay
If you wish to pay for your purchase with Google Pay, the payment will be processed by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
Google is only an intermediary for payment processing when payments are made via Google Pay. The payment process is completed by debiting the payment method you selected for your order with Google Pay (e.g., PayPal, credit or debit card).
Further information on data processing and data protection at Google Pay can be found here: https://payments.google.com/payments/apis-secure/get_legal_document?ldo=0&ldt=privacynotice&ldl=en
The legal basis for the processing of your data in connection with the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. For the receipt of items in returns by our partner retailer, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR is the legal basis for processing.
We are required by commercial and tax law to store your address, payment, and order data in connection with a purchase agreement for a period of ten years. However, after two years, we restrict processing, which means that your data will only be stored to comply with legal obligations.
On our website, we continue to use Google Maps, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). This allows us to display maps directly on the website and enables you to conveniently use the map function in connection with our services. The display of Google Maps content requires that you consent to the display of this external content in our consent management tool.
Google uses cookies (Storage period: 6 months), stores your data as user profiles, and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or to tailor its website to your needs (even for users who are not logged in to Google). You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, but you must contact Google directly to exercise this right.
The legal basis for the use of Google Maps is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by Google can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. There you will also find further information about your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy. Google also processes your personal data on servers in the USA. The data transfer is based on standard contractual clauses approved by the EU (Google framework conditions for data transfers).
In addition to our own website, we also maintain online presences on Facebook/Instagram, which are operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter: Facebook website).
When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook automatically stores personal data about you, such as your IP address and the pages you visit. Facebook processes this data for purposes including the creation of user profiles and for advertising and analysis purposes. Instagram is also a product of the Facebook group of companies. Detailed information on Facebook's data processing can be found in Facebook's data policy and cookie policy. Detailed information on data processing on Instagram by Facebook can be found in the Instagram Privacy Policy.
Facebook provides us with aggregated statistics for our Facebook page to help us understand how visitors interact with our posts or other content (known as “Page Insights”). For example, we receive information from Facebook about the number of people or accounts that have viewed, reacted to, or commented on our posts on Facebook, as well as aggregated demographic and other information that allows us to learn about interactions with our Facebook page.
You can find an example of how Facebook prepares statistics for us here. The statistics are provided to us by Facebook in anonymized form. We cannot draw any conclusions about your person or your individual user behavior when evaluating the statistics (however, we may be able to assign your profile picture to a “Like” for our Facebook page if you have set your ‘Likes’ for Facebook pages to “public”). We use the statistics provided to us by Facebook to analyze visitor behavior on our Facebook page for market research purposes and, if necessary, to place target group-oriented advertisements.
If personal data is processed via our Facebook website for the purpose of compiling summary statistics, either jointly or exclusively by Facebook, we are jointly responsible with Facebook for this data processing. We have therefore entered into an agreement with Facebook in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) for processing operations that are subject to joint responsibility. This agreement essentially stipulates that Facebook is primarily responsible for providing you with further information about the joint processing and for enabling you to exercise your rights under the GDPR (right to information, correction, portability, and deletion of your data, as well as the right to object to the processing of your data, to restrict processing, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority).
You can access the content of the agreement with further information about your rights, options for objection, and settings for protecting your data here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data

Facebook also processes your personal data on servers in the United States. Facebook has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework for data transfers to the United States, which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.
With our Facebook page, we balance our legitimate interests in presenting our offers and services in the most customer-oriented way possible. We also collect personal data ourselves on our Facebook page, for example, when you contact us via Facebook Messenger. This data, which you voluntarily provide, is processed exclusively for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. The legal basis for data processing in connection with our Facebook page and the statistical evaluations we receive from Facebook is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract or taking pre-contractual measures, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR is an additional legal basis.
For further information on our data processing, please refer to our general privacy policy. You can also assert your rights in connection with processing activities that are our joint responsibility with Facebook. In this case, we will forward your request to Facebook immediately in order to obtain a prompt clarification.
We use the Facebook pixel from Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland, on our website. The Facebook pixel enables Facebook to identify visitors to our website as part of a target group for the display of advertisements. This allows us to ensure that the advertisements we place on Facebook are only shown to Facebook users who have already shown an interest in our products or who meet other criteria that we transmit to Facebook (e.g., interests in certain topics or products, which we determine based on the websites visited on our site).
Furthermore, we can statistically evaluate the effectiveness of our advertisements by determining whether a visitor was redirected to our website via an advertisement on Facebook. If our website allows data to be transferred to Facebook after obtaining your prior consent, a cookie (storage period: 90 days) will be set on your device, which is read by Facebook Pixel and transmitted to Facebook.
The data processed via Facebook Pixel is anonymous to us. The data is stored and processed by Facebook. Further information on data processing by Facebook can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/
The legal basis for the use of Facebook pixels is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent in our “Consent manager” at any time with effect for the future. Facebook also processes your personal data on servers in the USA. For data transfers to the USA, Facebook has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.
We use the Pinterest tag from Pinterest Europe Ltd., Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter: “Pinterest”) on our website, with whom we are jointly responsible for data protection in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. The Pinterest tag enables us to target visitors to our website with interest-based advertising on Pinterest. For this purpose, with your prior consent, we use a cookie with a maximum storage period of 1 year, which, together with the Pinterest tag implemented on our website, allows us to measure the conversion of predefined user actions (e.g., product page views, search queries, newsletter registration, transactions). If you are redirected to our website from a pin on Pinterest and the cookie has not yet expired, the Pinterest tag records the usage actions and transmits them directly to Pinterest (advertising data function) along with other information, such as the type and time of use, operating system, browser type, device identifiers, pseudonymized/hashed email address. The data transmitted to Pinterest as part of the advertising data function helps us to evaluate the effectiveness of individual campaigns on the basis of statistics that Pinterest compiles for us and to use it for personalized advertising on Pinterest. We are unable to draw any conclusions about your person and your individual user behavior when evaluating the statistics.
We have entered into an agreement with Pinterest pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR for processing operations that are subject to joint responsibility within the scope of the GDPR in order to define the respective responsibilities for compliance with the obligations relating to joint processing under the GDPR. This agreement stipulates that joint responsibility applies exclusively to Pinterest's advertising data function. Pinterest is primarily responsible for enforcing your rights under Articles 15 to 21 of the GDPR, insofar as this concerns personal data stored by Pinterest in accordance with joint processing. This includes, for example, your rights to access, rectify, transfer, and erase your data, as well as your right to object to the processing of your data, to restrict processing, and your right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Information about Pinterest's controller and data protection officer can be found here: https://policy.pinterest.com/en/privacy-policy#section-residents-of-the-eea
Comprehensive information on how Pinterest processes personal data, including the legal basis on which Pinterest relies and the ways in which data subjects can exercise their rights vis-à-vis Pinterest, can be found in Pinterest's privacy policy at https://policy.pinterest.com/en/privacy-policy#section-residents-of-the-eea.
The legal basis for data processing in connection with the use of the Pinterest tag is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Cookies are only used if you have given your prior consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can object to data processing (advertising data function) at any time by either deactivating the settings for data personalization in your Pinterest account https://help.pinterest.com/en/article/personalization-and-data or revoking your consent to the use of the Pinterest Tag in our Consent Manager at any time with effect for the future.
We use Google Tag Manager from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”) on our website. Google Tag Manager is an organizational tool that allows us to manage so-called website tags. Website tags enable us to centrally collect, evaluate, and transmit event data for the purposes of statistical analysis, third-party tracking, remarketing, conversion tracking, and optimization of our website and marketing activities.
The data processed by Google Tag Manager does not contain any IP addresses or other user-specific identifiers that could be assigned to a specific person. Google Tag Manager itself therefore does not collect, store, or share any information about visitors to our website with Google. This also applies to the URLs of websites visited by us.
The legal basis for the use of Google Tag Manager is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, located at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”), on our website. When you visit our website, optional cookies for Google Analytics 4 are only stored on your device if you give us your consent (“consent mode”). Otherwise, information about your usage behavior is only processed by Google through so-called “pings.” “Pings” are small data packets that are sent to a device and then transmitted by Google to create probability models. Your IP address is only transmitted to Google in truncated form, so that a direct reference of the transmitted data to a specific person is excluded.
If you agree to the use of cookies by Google Analytics 4, we also use the “demographic characteristics” function in Google Analytics 4. This enables us to retrieve anonymous statistics with information about the age, gender, and interests of our website visitors. These evaluations provide us with valuable information about interest-based differences between different user groups, which we use for target group-optimized marketing measures.
With your prior consent, we continue to use the “Google Signals” feature so that Google can generate cross-device reports on your usage behavior. This cross-device tracking requires that you are logged into your Google account and have personalized ads enabled. Among other things, the reports show which device you used to click on an ad and which device was used for a subsequent “conversion” (e.g., a purchase).
We use Google Analytics 4 for the following purposes: evaluation of user actions, conversion measurement, interest-based and behavior-based marketing measures, visitor tracking, creation of user profiles, reach measurement (e.g., statistical access measurements, recognition of returning users). The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics 4 with cookies is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent). Without your consent, we only use Google Analytics 4 with anonymized “pings.”
The legal basis in this case is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (predominantly legitimate interest in usage analysis based on anonymized probability models to achieve the aforementioned processing purposes). We store the anonymized data for a maximum period of 24 months. After that, the data is automatically deleted. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly or by revoking your consent in our cookie management tool.
You can also specify which data should be used by Google: Google Account Settings
You can disable your settings for personalized advertising on Google here: Settings for personalized advertising
Further information about Google Analytics can be found at the following links:
We use the Google Ads advertising program (including conversion tracking) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The purpose of using Google Ads is to place ads on external websites in order to advertise our offers to specific target groups and to statistically evaluate the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
The conversion tracking cookie is set when a visitor clicks on an advertisement placed by Google. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and do not allow personal identification. If the cookie is still active, we and Google can recognize that you clicked on an ad and were redirected to our website.
Based on the information stored in the cookie, Google can compile statistics for us, in particular about the number of visitors who clicked on an ad and were redirected to our website.
Further information on Google Ads conversion tracking can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites)
To the extent required by law, we have obtained your consent to the use of Google Ads conversion tracking in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect in the consent management tool.
Further information about Google's privacy policy can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
You can permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads Conversion Tracking by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available from Google at the following link:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=en
When using Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to the USA. The data transfer is based on standard contractual clauses approved by the EU (Google framework conditions for data transfers).
We use the remarketing or “similar audiences” feature of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”) on our website. This feature allows us to target you with advertising by displaying personalized, interest-based ads when you visit other websites in the Google advertising network.
Google uses cookies to analyze website usage, which forms the basis for displaying interest-based advertising. The cookie records visits to the website and anonymized data about the use of our website.
If you subsequently visit another website in the Google advertising network, you will be shown advertisements that are highly likely to take into account the product and information areas you previously viewed.
According to Google, the data collected as part of remarketing is not merged with your personal data that may be stored by Google. In particular, Google states that pseudonymization is used in remarketing.
You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways:
The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect using the consent management tool.

Google also processes your personal data on servers in the United States. Data transfer is based on standard contractual clauses approved by the EU (Google's framework for data transfers).
Our website uses web fonts provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”) to ensure uniform font display. When you visit one of our web pages, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, your browser connects to Google's servers. This tells Google that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform presentation of our web pages.
The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your device will be used.
Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by Google can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. There you will also find further information about your rights in this regard and settings options for protecting your privacy. Google also processes your personal data on servers in the USA. Google has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework for data transfers to the US, which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.
YouTube is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, based at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). If a video is played based on your prior consent, YouTube uses cookies, stores your data as user profiles, and uses it for advertising, market research, and/or the needs-based design of its website (even for users who are not logged in to Google/YouTube). You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube directly to exercise this right. The legal basis for playing YouTube videos is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by Google, please refer to Google's privacy policy:

We use the affiliate program of Webgains GmbH, Frankenstraße 150c, 90461 Nuremberg (hereinafter referred to as “WBG” or “WBG platform”). WBG provides an affiliate marketing platform for advertisers and publishers. We participate in the WBG platform as an advertiser. The aim of the WBG platform is to establish cooperation between advertisers and publishers via the WBG platform and to enable the settlement of transactions brokered via the WBG platform. Data processing is regularly initiated by the publisher by publishing an advertisement provided by the advertiser with a tracking code. If a prospective customer clicks on this advertisement, they are redirected to a landing page specified in advance by the advertiser, i.e. by us.
The advertiser transmits the data relevant for billing the publisher's intermediary services to the WBG platform. To calculate the intermediary fee, we as the advertiser record the transactions initiated by the publisher. This data processing includes all data relevant for billing, i.e., the value of the purchased products, product information, an internal ID, the currency, and details of the remuneration model agreed with the publisher. WBG also receives information from the publisher about the device used by the interested party during the interaction, e.g., the IP address, the operating system used, and browser information.
WBG calculates the commission for the publisher. To this end, WBG uses tracking cookies on our behalf to document interactions between interested parties and publishers (e.g., time of a transaction, number of clicks on an advertisement). This information is consolidated by WBG for the publisher and transmitted for the calculation of the commission.
The legal basis for the use of cookies is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Cookies are stored for 30 days. You can revoke your consent to the storage of cookies at any time with future effect in the consent management tool.
Furthermore, processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in promoting our products through suitable publishers and processing commission payments with WBG in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
We have entered into an agreement with WBG on joint responsibility for data protection in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR for the performance of services in connection with the settlement of agency commissions via the WBG platform, the evaluation of transaction data, the prevention of abuse and fraud, the creation of reports for publishers, and for the purpose of recommending suitable publishers for us. This agreement ensures, through appropriate technical and organizational measures, that your data will only be processed for the aforementioned purposes and—where legally required—will be anonymized. This agreement also stipulates that we, as advertisers, fulfill our existing information obligations towards you in accordance with the GDPR and are your point of contact for exercising your rights in accordance with Section II of this privacy policy, insofar as the processing is subject to our joint responsibility with WBG.
We also conclude an agreement with the respective publisher on joint responsibility in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR for the use of the tracking code in our advertisements. However, this agreement stipulates that the respective publisher fulfills the information obligations towards you in accordance with the GDPR and is the contact person for the exercise of your rights, insofar as the processing is subject to our joint responsibility with the publisher. However, you can also assert your rights with us. In this case, we will forward your request to the publisher immediately in order to bring about a timely clarification.

We collect and process the personal data you provide for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically if you send us your application documents by email.

You can object to the storage of your data in connection with applications and the application process at any time by sending an email to the above-mentioned controller.

Trusted Shops widgets are integrated into this website to display Trusted Shops services (e.g., seals of approval, collected reviews) and to offer Trusted Shops products to buyers after they have placed an order.
This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in optimal marketing by enabling secure shopping in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests. The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are offered by Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne, Germany, with whom we are jointly responsible for data protection in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. In this privacy policy, we will inform you about the essential contents of the contract in accordance with Art. 26 (2) GDPR.
The Trustbadge is provided by a US CDN (content delivery network) provider as part of a joint responsibility. An adequate level of data protection is ensured by standard data protection clauses and other contractual measures. Further information on data protection at Trusted Shops GmbH can be found in their data protection declaration.
When the Trustbadge is called up, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which also contains your IP address, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the retrieval. The IP address is anonymized immediately after collection so that the stored data cannot be assigned to your person. The anonymized data is used in particular for statistical purposes and for error analysis.
After completing your order, your email address, which has been hashed using a cryptographic one-way function, will be transmitted to Trusted Shops GmbH. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. This serves to verify whether you are already registered for services with Trusted Shops GmbH and is therefore necessary for the fulfillment of our and Trusted Shops' overriding legitimate interests in providing the buyer protection and transactional evaluation services linked to the specific order in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If this is the case, further processing will be carried out in accordance with the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops. If you are not yet registered for the services, you will then have the opportunity to do so for the first time. Further processing after registration is also governed by the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops GmbH. If you do not register, all transmitted data will be automatically deleted by Trusted Shops GmbH and it will no longer be possible to identify you personally.
Trusted Shops uses service providers in the areas of hosting, monitoring, and logging. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation. Processing may take place in third countries (USA and Israel). An adequate level of data protection is ensured in the case of the USA by standard data protection clauses and other contractual measures, and in the case of Israel by an adequacy decision.
Within the framework of the joint responsibility between us and Trusted Shops GmbH, please contact Trusted Shops GmbH in the first instance with any data protection questions and to assert your rights, using the contact details provided in the data protection information linked above. Regardless of this, you can always contact the controller of your choice. Your request will then be forwarded to the other controller for a response, if necessary.
