7.1 Use of Google Services

We use the following technologies from Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). The information automatically collected by Google technologies about your use of our website is generally transmitted to a server of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, and stored there. Unless otherwise specified for individual technologies, data processing is carried out on the basis of an agreement between jointly responsible parties according to Art. 26 GDPR for the respective technology. Further information on data processing by Google can be found in Google's privacy policy. Our service providers are located and/or use servers in countries outside Switzerland, the EU and the EEA for which the European Commission and the Swiss Federal Council have determined an adequate level of data protection by decision. Our service providers are located and/or use servers in countries outside Switzerland, the EU and the EEA. For these countries, there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission and the Swiss Federal Council. Our cooperation with them is based on standard data protection clauses of the European Commission.  

Google Analytics

For the purpose of website analysis, data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website) is automatically collected and stored with Google Analytics, from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. Cookies may be used for this. If you visit our website from the EU, your IP address will be stored on a server located in the EU for the derivation of location data and then immediately deleted before the traffic is forwarded to other Google servers for processing. Data processing is carried out on the basis of an order processing agreement with Google. For the purpose of optimizing the marketing of our website, we have activated the data sharing settings for "Google products and services". This allows Google to access the data collected and processed by Google Analytics and then use it to improve Google services. Data sharing with Google within the framework of these data sharing settings takes place on the basis of an additional agreement between controllers. We have no influence on the subsequent data processing by Google.

For the purpose of optimizing the marketing of our website, we use the so-called UserID function. With the help of this function, we can assign a unique, permanent ID to your interaction data from one or more sessions on our online presences and thus analyze your user behavior across devices and sessions.

For web analysis, the extended function of Google Analytics Google Signals enables so-called "cross-device tracking". If your internet-enabled devices are linked to your Google account and you have activated the "personalized advertising" setting in your Google account, Google can create reports on your usage behavior (in particular, cross-device user numbers), even if you change your device. We do not process personal data in this respect; we only receive statistics created on the basis of Google Signals.

For web analysis and advertising purposes, the extended function of Google Analytics, the so-called DoubleClick cookie, enables your browser to be recognized when visiting other websites. Google will use this information to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services related to website usage.

If you do not give us your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR for the use of Google Analytics, no cookies will be stored or read on your device. The data processing described in the previous paragraphs will not take place. To close gaps in web analysis due to behavioral and conversion modeling, pings with data (user agent, information on your consent behavior, screen resolution, IP address) are sent to Google.  

Google AdSense

Our website markets space for third-party advertisements via Google AdSense. These advertisements are displayed to you at various points on this website. Through the so-called DoubleClick cookie, the display of interest-based advertising is enabled by the collection and processing of data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website) as well as the automatic assignment of a pseudonymous UserID, with the help of which interests are determined based on visits to this and other websites.  

Google Ads

For advertising purposes in Google search results and on third-party websites, the so-called Google Remarketing cookie is set when you visit our website. This automatically enables interest-based advertising through the collection and processing of data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website) and by means of a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you visit. Further data processing only takes place if you have activated the "personalized advertising" setting in your Google account. In this case, if you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google uses your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing.

For website analysis and event tracking, we measure your subsequent user behavior via Google Ads Conversion Tracking if you have reached our website via a Google Ads advertisement. For this purpose, cookies may be used and data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website based on events specified by us, such as visiting a website or newsletter registration) may be collected, from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms.  

Google Maps

For the visual representation of geographical information, data about your use of the Maps functions, in particular the IP address and location data, is collected by Google Maps, transmitted to Google and then processed by Google. We have no influence on this subsequent data processing.  

Google Tag Manager

The Google Tag Manager allows us to manage various codes and services on our website. When implementing the individual tags, Google may also process personal data (e.g., IP address, online identifiers (including cookies)). Data processing is carried out on the basis of an order processing agreement with Google.

Through the use of Google Tag Manager, various services/technologies can be integrated. If you do not wish to use individual tracking services and have therefore deactivated them, the deactivation remains valid for all affected tracking tags that are integrated via Google Tag Manager.

7.2 Use of Facebook Services  

Use of Facebook Pixel

We use the Facebook Pixel within the framework of the technologies described below from Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., Block J, Serpentine Avenue, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Facebook (by Meta)" or "Meta Platforms Ireland"). With the Facebook Pixel, data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website based on events specified by us, such as visiting a website or newsletter registration) is automatically collected and stored, from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. For this purpose, when you visit our website, the Facebook Pixel automatically sets a cookie that automatically enables your browser to be recognized when visiting other websites by means of a pseudonymous Cookie ID. Facebook (by Meta) will combine this information with other data from your Facebook account and use it to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services related to website usage, in particular personalized and group-based advertising. The information automatically collected by Facebook (by Meta) technologies about your use of our website is generally transmitted to a server of Meta Platforms, Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA, and stored there. Further information on data processing by Facebook can be found in Facebook (by Meta)'s privacy policy. Our service providers are located and/or use servers in the following countries for which the European Commission and the Swiss Federal Council have determined an adequate level of data protection by decision: USA, Canada, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Argentina. The adequacy decisions for the USA serve as a basis for third-country transfers, provided the respective service provider is certified. Certification is available.

For these countries, there is no adequacy decision from the European Commission and the Swiss Federal Council. Our cooperation with them is based on these guarantees: Standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.  

Facebook Ads (Ad Manager)

Through Facebook Ads, we advertise this website on Facebook (by Meta) as well as on other platforms. We determine the parameters of the respective advertising campaign. Facebook (by Meta) is responsible for the exact implementation, in particular the decision on the placement of advertisements for individual users. Unless otherwise specified for individual technologies, data processing is carried out on the basis of an agreement between jointly responsible parties pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. The joint responsibility is limited to the collection of data and its transmission to Meta Platforms Ireland. The subsequent data processing by Meta Platforms Ireland is not covered by this.

8. Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge / Other Widgets

Trusted Shops widgets are integrated on this website to display Trusted Shops services (e.g., trustmark, collected reviews) and to offer Trusted Shops products for buyers after an order.

This serves to protect our legitimate interests, which are overriding in the context of a balancing of interests, in optimal marketing by enabling secure shopping, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are an offer of Trusted Shops SE, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne ("Trusted Shops"), with whom we are jointly responsible for data protection pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. We inform you below within the framework of this privacy policy about the essential contractual contents according to Art. 26 para. 2 GDPR.

In the context of the joint responsibility between us and Trusted Shops SE, please contact Trusted Shops primarily for data protection questions and to assert your rights, using the contact options provided in the data protection information. Irrespective 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.

8.1 Data Processing when Integrating the Trustbadge / Other Widgets

The Trustbadge is provided by a US-based CDN (Content Delivery Network) provider. An adequate level of data protection is ensured in each case by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission (available here) or the Swiss Federal Council (available here). Service providers from the USA are generally certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (together "DPF"). Further information can be found here. If the service providers used are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been concluded as a suitable guarantee.

When the Trustbadge is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which also contains your IP address, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access. 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.

8.2 Data Processing After Order Completion

After completion of the order, the Trustbadge accesses order information (order total, order number, product purchased if applicable) and the e-mail address stored in your end device. This is necessary in order to be able to offer you the Trusted Shops services and, if necessary, to automatically secure your order. For this purpose, your e-mail address, hashed by means of a cryptological one-way function, is transmitted to Trusted Shops. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

This serves to check whether you are already registered for services with Trusted Shops and is therefore necessary for the fulfilment of our and Trusted Shops' overriding legitimate interests in providing the buyer protection linked to the specific order and the transactional review services pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. If this is the case, further processing will take place in accordance with the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops. If you are not yet registered for the services, you will subsequently have the opportunity to do so for the first time. Further processing after registration will also be governed by the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops. If you do not register, all transmitted data will be automatically deleted by Trusted Shops and personal identification will no longer be possible.

Trusted Shops uses service providers for 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 each case by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, which can be accessed for the USA here and for Israel here. Service providers used from the USA are generally certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information can be found here. If service providers used are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been concluded as an appropriate guarantee.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, for personal data relating to Switzerland: until the Swiss adequacy decision for the USA is issued, data transfers continue to be based on the European Commission's standard data protection clauses.

Right to object

Insofar as we process personal data as described above to protect our overriding legitimate interests in a balancing of interests, you can object to this processing with effect for the future. If the processing is for direct marketing purposes, you can exercise this right at any time as described above. If the processing is for other purposes, you have a right to object only if there are reasons arising from your particular situation. After exercising your right to object, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. This does not apply if the processing is for direct marketing purposes. In that case, we will no longer process your personal data for this purpose.
