7) Use of customer data for direct marketing

7.1 Registration for our email newsletter

When you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information required to send you the newsletter is your email address. Providing any further information is voluntary and is used to personalize our communications with you. We use the double opt-in procedure for newsletter distribution, which ensures that you only receive newsletters after you have explicitly confirmed your consent to receive them by clicking a verification link sent to the email address you provided.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR. We store your IP address, which is registered by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration, in order to be able to trace any potential misuse of your email address at a later date. The data we collect when you subscribe to the newsletter is used strictly for the intended purpose.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a message to the data controller named above. After unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter mailing list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data for other purposes permitted by law, which we will inform you about in this privacy policy.

7.2 Sending the email newsletter to existing customers

If you provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services from our product range via email. According to Section 7 Paragraph 3 of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG), we do not need to obtain your separate consent for this. The data processing is based solely on our legitimate interest in personalized direct marketing pursuant to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send you any emails.

You have the right to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by sending a message to the data controller named at the beginning of this document. You will only incur transmission costs at the basic rates for this. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be discontinued immediately.

7.3 SMS-Marketing

On our website you have the option to register to receive SMS notifications about current offers, promotions and information about orders placed.

Your mobile phone number is mandatory for receiving SMS notifications. Providing further information is voluntary and will be used to personalize our communications with you.

For sending SMS messages, the so-called double opt-in procedure is used, which ensures that advertising SMS messages are only sent to you after you have expressly confirmed your consent to receive SMS messages by clicking on a verification link sent to the specified mobile phone number.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR. When you register for SMS messaging, the date and time of registration are also stored in order to be able to trace any potential misuse of your mobile phone number at a later date. The data collected during registration will be used exclusively for the purpose of sending you promotional messages via SMS.

You can unsubscribe from SMS messages at any time by sending a corresponding message to the data controller named above, thereby revoking your consent with effect for the future. After unsubscribing, your mobile phone number will be immediately deleted from the mailing list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data beyond this scope, which is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this statement.

8) Data processing for contract fulfillment

8.1 To process the contract, we work with the following service provider(s), who support us in whole or in part in the execution of concluded contracts. Certain personal data will be transferred to these service providers in accordance with the following information.

8.2 Use of payment service providers (payment services)

- Apple Pay

If you choose the "Apple Pay" payment method from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing is handled via the "Apple Pay" function on your iOS, watchOS, or macOS device by charging a payment card stored with "Apple Pay." Apple Pay uses security features integrated into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. Authorizing a payment requires entering a code you previously set and verifying your identity using your device's "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function.

For payment processing purposes, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with details of your order, will be transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data with a developer-specific key before transmitting it to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay. This encryption ensures that only the website where the purchase was made can access the payment information. After the payment has been processed, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the successful payment.

If personal data is processed during the described transfers, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Apple retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, date, and time, as well as whether the transaction was successful. Anonymization completely eliminates any possibility of identifying individuals. Apple uses this anonymized data to improve Apple Pay and other Apple products and services.

When you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase you made through Safari on your Mac, your Mac and the authorizing device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple's servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can identify you personally. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone's settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and turn off "Allow Payments on Mac."

Further information on data protection with Apple Pay can be found at the following web address: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027

- Google Pay

If you choose the payment method "Google Pay" from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), payment processing is handled via the "Google Pay" application on your mobile device, which must be running at least Android 4.4 ("KitKat") and have NFC capability. The payment will be processed by charging a payment card stored in Google Pay or a payment system verified there (e.g., PayPal). To authorize a payment via Google Pay exceeding €25, you must first unlock your mobile device using the configured verification method (such as facial recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern).

For payment processing purposes, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with information about your order, will be shared with Google. Google will then transmit your payment information stored in Google Pay to the originating website in the form of a unique transaction number, which is used to verify the payment. This transaction number contains no information about the actual payment details of your payment method stored in Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a unique numerical token. In all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts solely as an intermediary for processing the payment. The transaction is executed exclusively between the user and the originating website by debiting the payment method stored in Google Pay.

If personal data is processed during the described transfers, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Google reserves the right to collect, store, and analyze certain transaction-specific information for each transaction made through Google Pay. This includes the date, time, and amount of the transaction; the merchant's location and description; a description of the purchased goods or services provided by the merchant; photos you attached to the transaction; the name and email address of the seller and buyer or sender and recipient; the payment method used; your description of the reason for the transaction; and, if applicable, the offer associated with the transaction.

According to Google, this processing is carried out exclusively in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of transaction data and the optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

Google also reserves the right to combine the processed transaction data with other information collected and stored by Google when you use other Google services.

The Google Pay terms of service can be found here:

https://payments.google.com/payments/apis-secure/u/0/get_legal_document?ldo=0&ldt=googlepaytos&ldl=de

Further information on data protection at Google Pay can be found at the following web address:

- Stripe

This website offers one or more online payment methods from the following provider: Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland

When you select a payment method from the provider that requires you to pay in advance (such as credit card payment), your payment details provided during the ordering process (including name, address, bank and payment card information, currency, and transaction number), as well as information about the contents of your order, will be transmitted to the provider in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR. In this case, your data will be transmitted exclusively for the purpose of processing the payment with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.

When selecting a payment method where the provider makes an advance payment (such as invoice, installment purchase or direct debit), you will also be asked to provide certain personal data during the ordering process (first and last name, street, house number, postal code, city, date of birth, email address, telephone number, and, if applicable, data on an alternative payment method).

To protect our legitimate interest in assessing our customers' creditworthiness, we forward this data to the provider for the purpose of a credit check in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Based on the personal data you provide, as well as other data (such as shopping cart contents, invoice amount, order history, and payment history), the provider checks whether your selected payment method can be granted with regard to payment and/or default risks.

The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). If score values are included in the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical method. Address data is among the factors, but not the only one, used in calculating the score values.

You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to us or to the provider. However, the provider may still be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for processing payments in accordance with the contract.

8.3 - Smoobu

For contract processing, we use the service of the following provider: Smoobu GmbH, Pappelallee 78/79, 10437 Berlin

Your name, address, and any other personal data will be forwarded to the provider in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b of the GDPR for the purpose of contract processing. Your data will only be forwarded to the extent that this is actually necessary for contract processing.

The provider is also used for accounting purposes. It processes incoming and outgoing invoices, as well as, where applicable, our company's bank transactions, in order to automatically record invoices, link them to the transactions, and generate the financial accounting records in a semi-automated process. If personal data is processed in this context, the processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient organization and documentation of our business transactions.

9) Web analytics services

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, Google Analytics sets four cookies when you visit the website. These cookies are small text files stored on your device and collect certain information. This information includes your IP address, which Google, however, shortens by removing the last digits to prevent direct identification of individuals.

The information is transferred to Google servers and processed there. This may also involve transfers to Google LLC, which is based in the USA.

Google uses the collected information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for us, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics and shortened will not be merged with other Google data. The data collected as part of the use of Google Analytics 4 is stored for a period of two months and then deleted.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies on the device used, will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to our website. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service using the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google that ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

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

Demographic characteristics

Google Analytics 4 uses the special feature "demographics" to generate statistics that provide information about the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. This is achieved by analyzing advertising and information from third-party providers. This allows for the identification of target groups for marketing activities. However, the collected data cannot be linked to any specific individual and is deleted after a storage period of two months.

Google Signals

As an extension to Google Analytics 4, this website may use Google Signals to generate cross-device reports. If you have enabled personalized ads and linked your devices to your Google account, Google may, subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including those related to cross-device conversions. We do not receive any personally identifiable information from Google, only statistics. If you wish to stop cross-device analysis, you can deactivate the "Personalized ads" feature in your Google account settings. To do so, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155764?hl=de

For more information about Google Signals, please see the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de

UserIDs

As an extension to Google Analytics 4, the "UserIDs" function may be used on this website. If you have consented to the use of Google Analytics 4 in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, have created an account on this website, and log in with this account on different devices, your activities, including conversions, can be analyzed across devices.

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

10) Page functionalities

10.1 Instagram-Plugins

Our website uses plugins from the social network of the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland

These plugins enable direct interaction with content on the social network.

To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the plugins are initially deactivated and integrated into the page using a so-called "2-click" or "Shariff" solution.

This integration ensures that when a page of our website containing such plugins is accessed, no connection is established with the provider's servers.

Only when you activate the plugins and thereby give your consent to the data transfer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, will your browser establish a direct connection to the provider's servers. In this process, regardless of whether you are logged into an existing user profile, information about your device (including your IP address), your browser, and your browsing history will be transmitted to the provider to a certain extent and may be further processed there.

If you are logged into an existing user profile on the provider's social network, information about interactions carried out via the plugins will also be published there and displayed to your contacts.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by deactivating the plugin by clicking it again. However, this withdrawal does not affect data that has already been transferred to the provider.

Data may also be transferred to: Meta Platforms Inc., USA

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

10.2 Google Maps

This website uses an online map service provided by the following provider: Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps to visually represent geographical information. Using this service will show you our location and make it easier for you to find us.

When you access pages on our website that include a Google Maps map, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to and stored on Google servers. This may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether you have a Google account and are logged in. If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want this association with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores and analyzes your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles.

The collection, storage, and analysis of your data are carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, based on Google's legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, conducting market research, and/or tailoring Google websites to user needs. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and to exercise this right, you must contact Google. If you do not agree to the future transfer of your data to Google in connection with the use of Google Maps, you can also completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by disabling JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps, and therefore the map display on this website, will then be unavailable.

Where legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data as described above, in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of withdrawal, please follow the instructions for submitting an objection as described above.

Further information on Google's privacy policy can be found here: https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/

10.3 OpenStreetMap

This website uses an online map service provided by: OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John's Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, UK

The online map service is a tool for displaying interactive maps to visually represent geographical information. Using this service will show you our location and facilitate geolocation.

When you access the subpages where the provider's map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to the provider's servers and stored there.

Your personal data is processed in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in designing our website to meet user needs. If you do not agree to the future transfer of your data to the provider, you can completely deactivate the provider's online map service by disabling JavaScript in your browser. The online map service on this website will then no longer be available.

When data is transferred to the provider's location, an adequate level of data protection is ensured by an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

10.4 Google reCAPTCHA

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

Data may also be transferred to: Google LLC, USA.

The provider uses "Google Fonts" for the visual design of the CAPTCHA window; that is, fonts downloaded from the internet by Google. No further information is processed beyond what is already transmitted to Google via the reCAPTCHA functionality.

The service checks whether an entry is made by a natural person or is being misused through automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks, and similar automated malicious access. To ensure that an action is performed by a human and not an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits this information to the provider's servers for analysis. Cookies, small text files stored in the browser of the device, may be used in this process.

If the processing described above is based on cookies, these will only be set if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

If the processing described above is carried out without the use of cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in establishing individual responsibility on the Internet and preventing misuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

We work with Google as part of the "Google Customer Reviews" program. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). This program allows us to collect customer reviews from users of our website. After making a purchase on our website, you will be asked if you would like to participate in an email survey from Google.

If you give your consent in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR, we will transmit your email address to Google. You will receive an email from Google Customer Reviews asking you to rate your shopping experience on our website. Your rating will then be aggregated with our other ratings and displayed in our Google Customer Reviews logo and in our Merchant Center dashboard. Your rating will also be used for Google Seller Ratings. The use of Google Customer Reviews may also involve the transfer of personal data to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending a message to the data controller or to Google.

This website uses a "cookie consent tool" to obtain valid user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The cookie consent tool is displayed to users upon visiting the site as an interactive interface, where consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by ticking boxes. By using this tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding consent by ticking the boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on the user's device if consent has been given.

This tool uses technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. No personal user data is processed in this process.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

A further legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. As data controllers, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of cookies that are not technically necessary dependent on the respective user's consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information about the operator and the settings options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.
