6) Use of Customer Data for Direct Advertising

Subscription to our Email Newsletter

If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information required for sending the newsletter is your email address. Providing additional data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for sending newsletters, which ensures that you only receive newsletters after you have expressly confirmed your consent to receiving the newsletter by activating a verification link sent to the specified email address.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. In doing so, we store your IP address entered by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace possible misuse of your email address at a later time. The data collected when registering for the newsletter is used strictly for its intended purpose.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the controller named above. After unsubscribing, your email 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 beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

We pass on your name and delivery address and, insofar as necessary for delivery, your telephone number exclusively for the purpose of delivering goods pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR to a shipping partner selected by us.

7.3 Use of Payment Service Providers (Payment Services)

  • Apple Pay
    If you choose the payment method “Apple Pay” from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing takes place via the “Apple Pay” function of your device operated with iOS, watchOS, or macOS 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. To authorize a payment, it is therefore necessary to enter a code you have defined in advance and verify using the “Face ID” or “Touch ID” function of your device.

For the purpose of payment processing, your information provided during the ordering process together with information about your order is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts this data again with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay to carry out the payment. Encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment has been made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the success of the payment.

If personal data is processed during the described transmissions, processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Apple stores anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. The anonymization completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve “Apple Pay” and other Apple products and services.

If you use Apple Pay on iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made via Safari on Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate over an encrypted channel on Apple servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can identify you. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to “Wallet & Apple Pay” and disable “Allow Payments on Mac”.

Further information on Apple Pay data protection can be found at: 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 takes place via the “Google Pay” application of your mobile device operated with at least Android 4.4 (“KitKat”) and equipped with an NFC function 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 in an amount of more than €25.00, your mobile device must first be unlocked using the verification method set up (e.g., facial recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern).

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provided during the ordering process together with information about your order is transmitted to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay to the originating website in the form of a uniquely assigned transaction number used to verify that a payment has been made. This transaction number contains no information about the actual payment data of your payment methods stored in Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a one-time valid numeric token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts only as an intermediary for processing the payment transaction. The transaction is carried out exclusively between the user and the originating website by charging the payment method stored in Google Pay.

If personal data is processed during the described transmissions, processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Google reserves the right to collect, store, and evaluate certain transaction-specific information for each transaction made via Google Pay. This includes the date, time, and amount of the transaction, merchant 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 pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of transaction data, and optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

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

8) Web Analytics Services

8.1 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 analysis of your use of our website.

By default, Google Analytics 4 sets cookies when you visit the website, which are stored as small text modules on your device and collect certain information. The scope of this information also includes your IP address, which is shortened by Google by the last digits to exclude direct personal identifiability.

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

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

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies on the device used, only takes place if you have given us your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 is not used during your visit. You can revoke your consent 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 website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Demographic characteristics
Google Analytics 4 uses the special function “demographic characteristics” and can create statistics that make statements about the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. This is done by analyzing advertising and information from third parties. This allows target groups for marketing activities to be identified. However, the collected data cannot be assigned to a specific person and is deleted after being stored for two months.

Google Signals
As an extension of Google Analytics 4, Google Signals may be used on this website 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 use Google Analytics pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR—analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including for cross-device conversions. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you want to stop cross-device analysis, you can deactivate the “Personalized advertising” function in your Google account settings. Follow the instructions on this page:
https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155764?hl=de

8.2 Shopify Analytics

This website uses the web analytics service of the following provider: Shopify International Limited, Victoria Buildings, 2nd Floor, 1-2 Haddington Road, Dublin 4, D04 XN32, Ireland.

Data is also transferred to: Shopify Inc., 150 Elgin St, Ottawa, ON K2P 1L4, Canada.

Using cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including information about the device used such as IP address and browser information, in order to evaluate it for statistical analyses of user behavior on our website and to create pseudonymized usage profiles. Among other things, this enables analysis of movement patterns (so-called heatmaps) that show the duration of page visits and interactions with page content (e.g., text entries, scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs). Pseudonymization generally excludes direct personal identifiability. No merging with other clearly identifiable data about your person collected in other ways takes place.

All processing described above, in particular the reading or storing of information on the device used, is only carried out if you have given us your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(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.

9) Tools and Other

9.1 AccountOne

For accounting, we use the service of the cloud-based accounting software of the following provider: AccountOne GmbH, Fördepromenade 4d, 24944 Flensburg, Germany.

The provider processes incoming and outgoing invoices and, if applicable, also our company’s bank transactions in order to automatically record invoices, match them to transactions, and, in a partially automated process, create financial accounting records.

If personal data is also processed, processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in an efficient organization and documentation of our business processes pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

9.2 Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called “cookie consent tool” to obtain effective user consents for cookies and cookie-based applications requiring consent. The “cookie consent tool” is displayed to users when the page is accessed in the form of an interactive user interface, on which consents for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by ticking boxes. By using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user grants consent by ticking the corresponding boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user’s device if consent has been given.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this context.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is nevertheless processed for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this is done pursuant to Art. 6(1)(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.

Further legal basis for processing is also Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. As controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically non-essential cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

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

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