To provide autonomous customer support on this website, we have integrated an artificial intelligence software solution from the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

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

Through an API-based integration, visitors can submit text inquiries about our offerings, website functions, orders placed and the exercise of contractual rights. These inquiries are then answered and processed by the provider’s language models.

For this purpose, the provider’s software may collect personal data from you to compare it with your order history, associate your input with a specific order, assess your request automatically and resolve it by autonomously initiating processing procedures.

Personal data is collected and further processed solely to handle your specific request. The processing of your input to train or further develop the provider’s AI language models is expressly prevented.

Data processing takes place pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests in effectively assisting website visitors, optimally marketing our offerings and automating customer support to reduce our operational workload.

Subject to any applicable statutory retention periods, the personal data collected is deleted when the provider’s software determines, using automated mathematical and statistical methods, that the matter has been conclusively resolved.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of your data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If you contact us in connection with a contract, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR provides an additional legal basis for processing. Your data will be deleted when the circumstances indicate that the matter has been conclusively resolved, provided that no statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

8) Use of Customer Data for Direct Marketing

Subscribing to Our Email Newsletter

If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offerings. Your email address is the only information required to send the newsletter.

If a relevant contract requires us to provide you with updates for goods with digital elements or for digital products, we process the contact details you provided when ordering, including your name, address and email address, to inform you personally about upcoming updates during the legally prescribed period. We do this through an appropriate communication channel, such as post or email, to meet our statutory information obligations pursuant to Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

9.3 Use of Payment Service Providers

Apple Pay

If you choose the “Apple Pay” payment method offered by Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment is processed through the Apple Pay function on your device running iOS, watchOS or macOS by charging a payment card stored in Apple Pay. Apple Pay uses security features integrated into your device’s hardware and software to protect your transactions. Authorizing a payment therefore requires entering a code you previously defined and verification through your device’s Face ID or Touch ID function.

For payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with information about your order, is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts this data again using a developer-specific key before transmitting it to the payment service provider for the card stored in Apple Pay to execute the payment. Encryption ensures that only the website on which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After payment, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm successful payment.

Where these transmissions involve the processing of personal data, processing takes place exclusively for payment processing pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Apple retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, date and time, and whether the transaction was completed successfully. Anonymization completely removes the link to an identifiable person. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve Apple Pay and other Apple products and services.

If you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase initiated in Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate through 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 settings. Go to “Wallet & Apple Pay” and disable “Allow Payments on Mac.”

Further information about privacy with Apple Pay can be found at:
https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027

Google Pay

If you choose the “Google Pay” payment method offered by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), payment is processed through the Google Pay application on your NFC-enabled mobile device running at least Android 4.4 (“KitKat”), by charging a payment card stored in Google Pay or a payment system verified there, such as PayPal. To authorize a Google Pay payment exceeding €25, your mobile device must first be unlocked using the verification method configured on it, such as facial recognition, a password, a fingerprint or a pattern.

For payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with information about your order, is disclosed to Google. Google then transmits the payment information stored in Google Pay to the originating website in the form of a uniquely assigned transaction number, which is used to verify that payment has been made. This transaction number contains no information about the actual payment details of the payment method stored in Google Pay; it is generated and transmitted as a numerical token valid for one use only. For all Google Pay transactions, Google acts only as an intermediary in processing payment. The transaction itself takes place exclusively between you and the originating website by charging the payment method stored in Google Pay.

Where these transmissions involve the processing of personal data, processing takes place exclusively for payment processing pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

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

According to Google, this processing takes place exclusively pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of its legitimate interests in proper accounting, verification of transaction data, and optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

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

The Google Pay terms of service can be found here:

Klarna

One or more online payment methods from the following provider are available on this website: Klarna Bank AB, Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden.

If you choose a payment method requiring advance payment from you, such as payment by credit card, the payment data you provide during the ordering process, including your name, address, bank and payment card information, currency and transaction number, together with information about the contents of your order, is disclosed to the provider pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. In this case, your data is disclosed exclusively to process payment with the provider and only to the extent necessary.

If you choose a payment method under which the provider extends credit or makes an advance payment, such as purchase on account, installment purchase or direct debit, you will also be asked during checkout to provide certain personal information, including your first and last name, street, house number, postal code, town or city, date of birth, email address, telephone number and, where applicable, details of an alternative payment method.

To safeguard our legitimate interest in determining our customers’ ability to pay, we forward this data to the provider for a creditworthiness assessment pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Based on the personal data you provide and additional information, such as your shopping cart, invoice amount, order history and payment experience, the provider assesses whether the payment option you selected can be granted in view of payment and/or debt default risks.

In addition to the provider’s internal criteria, identity and creditworthiness information from the following credit reference agencies may be included in the application assessment pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR:
https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/legal/terms/0/de_de/credit_rating_agencies

The credit report may contain probability values, known as scores. Where scores are included in the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical and statistical procedure. Address data, among other information, is used to calculate these scores.

You may object to this processing of your data at any time by contacting us or the provider. However, the provider may remain entitled to process your personal data if necessary to process payment in accordance with the contract.

PayPal

One or more online payment methods from the following provider are available on this website: PayPal (Europe) S.a.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22–24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg.

If you choose a payment method requiring advance payment from you, the payment data you provide during the ordering process, including your name, address, bank and payment card information, currency and transaction number, together with information about the contents of your order, is disclosed to the provider pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. In this case, your data is disclosed exclusively to process payment with the provider and only to the extent necessary.

If you choose a payment method under which we provide goods or services in advance of payment, you will also be asked during checkout to provide certain personal information, including your first and last name, street, house number, postal code, town or city, date of birth, email address, telephone number and, where applicable, details of an alternative payment method.

To safeguard our legitimate interest in determining your ability to pay in such cases, we forward this data to the provider for a creditworthiness assessment pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Based on the personal data you provide and additional information, such as your shopping cart, invoice amount, order history and payment experience, the provider assesses whether the payment option you selected can be granted in view of payment and/or debt default risks.

PayPal Checkout

This website uses PayPal Checkout, an online payment system from PayPal that combines PayPal’s own payment methods with local payment methods offered by third parties.

When you pay through PayPal, credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal or, where offered, “Pay Later” via PayPal, we disclose your payment data to PayPal (Europe) S.a.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22–24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (“PayPal”) as part of payment processing. Data is disclosed pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and only to the extent necessary to process payment.

PayPal reserves the right to obtain a credit report for payment by credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal or, where offered, “Pay Later” via PayPal. For this purpose, your payment data may be disclosed to credit reference agencies pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of PayPal’s legitimate interest in determining your ability to pay. PayPal uses the results of the credit assessment concerning the statistical probability of payment default to decide whether to provide the relevant payment method. The credit report may contain probability values, known as scores. Where scores are included in the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical and statistical procedure. Address data, among other information, is used to calculate these scores. You may object to this processing of your data at any time by contacting PayPal. However, PayPal may remain entitled to process your personal data if necessary to process payment in accordance with the contract.

If PayPal’s “purchase on account” payment method is available and selected, your payment data is first transmitted to PayPal to prepare the payment. PayPal then forwards it to Ratepay GmbH, Franklinstraße 28–29, 10587 Berlin, Germany (“Ratepay”) to execute the payment. The legal basis in each case is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. In this case, Ratepay conducts an identity and creditworthiness assessment in its own name to determine your ability to pay, following the principles described above. It discloses your payment data to credit reference agencies pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of its legitimate interest in determining your ability to pay. A list of the credit reference agencies Ratepay may use can be found here:

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

Using cookies and/or comparable technologies, such as tracking pixels, web beacons and algorithms that read device and browser information, the service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including device information such as IP addresses and browser information. This data is used for statistical analysis of user behavior on our website and to create pseudonymized usage profiles. Pseudonymization generally prevents direct identification of individuals. This information is not combined with directly identifying personal data about you collected by other means.

All processing described above, in particular reading or storing information on your device, is carried out only if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by disabling this service in the cookie consent tool provided on the website.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider that protects our website visitors’ data and prohibits disclosure to third parties.

11) Retargeting, Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

Meta Pixel

We use the “Meta Pixel” service within our online offering. The provider is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Meta”).

If you click an advertisement we have placed on Facebook and/or Instagram, Meta Pixel adds a parameter to the URL of our linked page. After redirection, this URL parameter is stored in the user’s browser through a cookie set by our linked page itself.

This enables Meta to identify visitors to our online offering as a target audience for advertisements (“ads”). Accordingly, we use this service to display our Facebook and/or Instagram ads only to users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics, such as interests in specific topics or products determined from the websites they visit, which we transmit to Meta (“Custom Audiences”).

Meta Pixel also allows us to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking an advertisement and what actions they performed there (“conversion tracking”).

The data collected is anonymous to us and does not allow us to identify users. However, Meta stores and processes the data, allowing it to be linked to the respective user profile and used by Meta for its own advertising purposes.

All processing described above, in particular setting cookies to read information on your device, is carried out only if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by disabling this service in the cookie consent tool provided on the website.

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

The information generated by Meta is generally transmitted to and stored on a Meta server. This may also involve transfers to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the United States.

12.1 Facebook Plugins

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

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

To increase the protection of your data when you visit our website, the plugins are initially disabled and integrated using a “two-click” or “Shariff” solution.

This integration ensures that accessing a page on our website containing these plugins does not initially establish a connection to the provider’s servers.

Only when you activate the plugins, thereby consenting to the transfer of data pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, does your browser establish a direct connection to the provider’s servers. Regardless of whether you are logged in to an existing user profile, certain information about your device, including your IP address, your browser and your browsing history is transmitted to the provider and may be processed further there.

If you are logged in to an existing user profile on the provider’s social network, information about interactions performed through the plugins is also published there and displayed to your contacts. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the activated plugin again to disable it. Withdrawal does not affect data already transmitted to the provider.

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

To display the translation automatically after you select a language, your browser connects to Google’s servers. Certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google.

Google may use cookies, meaning small text files stored on your device, to save language settings. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, including your shortened IP address, is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server.

The processing described above may also involve transfers to servers of Google LLC in the United States.

If cookies are set when Google Translate is used, the processing described above is carried out only if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by disabling this service in the cookie consent tool provided on the website.

If, in individual cases, personal data such as an IP address is processed to store, assign or record cookie settings, processing takes place pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly cookie consent management and, consequently, a legally compliant online presence.

Article 6(1)(c) GDPR provides an additional legal basis for processing. As controllers, we are legally obliged to make the use of cookies that are not technically necessary dependent on the respective user’s consent.

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

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.

15) Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The period for which personal data is stored is determined by the relevant legal basis, the purpose of processing and, where applicable, the relevant statutory retention period, such as retention periods under commercial and tax law.

Where personal data is processed on the basis of express consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, the data concerned is stored until you withdraw your consent.

If statutory retention periods apply to data processed in connection with contractual or similar obligations pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, the data is routinely deleted after those retention periods expire, provided that it is no longer required to perform or initiate a contract and/or we have no continuing legitimate interest in retaining it.
