Privacy policy

Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is not required by law or contract, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the data. Failure to provide data has no consequences. This only applies if no other information is provided in the following processing operations.
"Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.


Server log files
You can visit our website without providing any personal data.
Each time you access our website, usage data is transmitted to us or our web host / IT service provider by your Internet browser and stored in log 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 out of our overriding legitimate interest in ensuring the trouble-free operation of our website and improving our offer.
Your data will be transferred to Canada, among other countries. The EU Commission has issued an adequacy decision for data transfers to Canada.

Proactive contact of the customer by e-mail
If you contact us by e-mail on your own initiative, we will only collect your personal data (name, e-mail address, message text) to the extent provided by you. The data processing serves to process and respond to your contact enquiry.
If the purpose of the contact is to carry out pre-contractual measures (e.g. advice on an interest in purchasing, preparation of an offer) or concerns a contract already concluded between you and us, this data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
If contact is made for other reasons, this data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in processing and responding to your enquiry. In this case, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your personal data based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
We will only use your email address to process your enquiry. Your data will then be deleted in compliance with statutory retention periods, unless you have consented to further processing and use.

Orders


Collection, processing and forwarding of personal data for orders
When you place an order, we collect and process your personal data only to the extent necessary to fulfil and process your order and to process your enquiries. The provision of the data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract. Failure to provide the data means that no contract can be concluded. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you.
Your data will be passed on, for example, to the shipping companies and dropshipping providers you have selected, payment service providers, service providers for order processing and IT service providers. In all cases, we strictly observe the legal requirements. The scope of data transmission is limited to a minimum.
Your data will be transferred to Canada, among other countries. The EU Commission has issued an adequacy decision for data transfers to Canada.

We use your e-mail address independently of the contract processing exclusively for our own advertising purposes for sending newsletters, provided you have expressly consented to this.

You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Advertising tracking

Use of the Facebook Pixel
We use the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" 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 and the transmission of this data to Facebook when the service is integrated. The basis for this is an agreement between us and Facebook Ireland on the joint processing of personal data, in which the respective responsibilities are defined. The agreement is available at https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum (https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum). Accordingly, we are responsible in particular for the fulfilment of the information obligations pursuant 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 pursuant to Art. 33, 34 GDPR, insofar as a breach of the protection of personal data affects our obligations under the joint processing agreement. Facebook Ireland is responsible for enabling the rights of data subjects in accordance with Art. 15 - 20 GDPR, complying with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR with regard to the security of the service and the obligations under Art. 33, 34 GDPR, insofar as a breach of the protection of personal data affects Facebook Ireland's obligations under the joint processing agreement.
The purpose of the application is to target visitors to the website with interest-based advertising on the Facebook social network. The Facebook remarketing tag has been implemented on the website for this purpose. This tag is used to establish a direct connection to the Facebook servers when the website is visited. This tells 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 personalised, interest-based Facebook ads.
Your data may be transferred to the USA. There is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for the USA. The data transfer takes place, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as suitable guarantees for the protection of personal data, which can be viewed at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum (https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum).
The use of cookies or comparable technologies is based on Section 15 (3) sentence 1 TMG. Your personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f 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 your personal data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. You can deactivate the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" here ().
