Your previous purchasing behavior is also recorded in order to create optimized offers based on this data.

By giving your consent, you authorize us to use your data in accordance with this privacy policy for the duration of the business relationship or the legally binding retention and documentation obligations. Any consent given can be revoked at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent that were given to us before the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect, i.e., before May 25, 2018. Please note that the revocation only takes effect for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected.

Service providers and agents we engage, in accordance with Article 28 GDPR (data processors), may receive data from us for this purpose, provided they comply with our written data protection instructions or comparable data protection obligations and demonstrate that the data processing is carried out in accordance with the GDPR, the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), or a comparable level of data protection in Europe.

4.1. Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies.” Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website and to compile reports on website activity. Google will also use this information to provide the website operator with other services related to website and internet usage. The IP address sent by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be combined with other Google data. Processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR based on your consent. We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This means that your IP address is only processed by Google in truncated form. We have concluded a data processing agreement with the service provider, obligating them to protect our customers’ data and not to disclose it to third parties. Since personal data is transferred to the USA, further safeguards are required to ensure the GDPR’s level of data protection. To guarantee this, we have agreed to standard contractual clauses with the provider in accordance with Article 46(2)(c) GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases where this cannot be guaranteed even through this contractual extension, we will endeavor to obtain further agreements and commitments from the recipient in the USA. The Google Analytics Terms of Service and information on data protection can be accessed via the following links: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/ The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. Data at the user and event level, which is linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g., User ID) and advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android Advertising ID, IDFA [Apple Identifier for Advertisers]), will be deleted no later than 14 months after collection. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. However, please note that in this case, you may not be able to fully utilize all the functions of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and analyzing your use of the website (including your IP address) and processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. 4.2. Google Tag Manager This website uses Google Tag Manager from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). This service allows website tags to be managed via an interface. Google Tag Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used, and only the user’s IP address is transmitted to Google to establish a connection. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which may in turn collect data. However, the Google Tag Manager itself does not access this data. If deactivation has been performed at the domain or cookie level, it remains in effect for all tracking tags implemented with the Google Tag Manager. We use the Google Tag Manager based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest here is to enable the technical integration of other website tools. Since the IP address is transferred to Google in the USA, further safeguards are required to ensure the GDPR’s level of data protection. To guarantee this, we have agreed to standard contractual clauses with the provider pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases where this cannot be ensured even by this contractual extension, we strive to obtain further agreements and commitments from the recipient in the USA. 4.3. Google Fonts We use “Google Fonts” on our website, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). Google Fonts allows us to use external fonts. When you access our website, the necessary Google Fonts are loaded from our web server into your browser cache. This is necessary so that your browser can display our text in an enhanced visual format. If your browser does not support this feature, a standard font from your computer will be used. The fonts are hosted by us and are therefore not loaded from an external provider. The processing of your IP address is required for this. We use Google Fonts for optimization purposes, in particular to improve your experience on our website and to make its design more user-friendly. The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest in this regard pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. 4.4. Mailchimp If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, which provides regular information about our offers and products, we require your email address as mandatory information. Additional data may be requested so that we can address you personally in the newsletter and/or identify you should you wish to exercise your rights as a data subject. We use the double opt-in procedure for sending our newsletter. This means that we will only send you our newsletter by email after you have explicitly confirmed that you consent to receiving it. As a first step, you will receive an email with a link that you can use to confirm that you, as the owner of the corresponding email address, wish to receive newsletters in the future. By confirming, you give us your consent, in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR, to use your personal data for the purpose of sending the requested newsletter. When you subscribe to the newsletter, in addition to the email address required for sending, we store the IP address you used to subscribe, as well as the date and time of registration and confirmation, in order to be able to trace any potential misuse at a later date. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link included in every newsletter or by sending an email to the data controller named above. After you unsubscribe, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter mailing list, unless you have expressly consented to the continued use of the collected data or the continued processing is otherwise legally permissible. Our email newsletters are sent via a technical service provider, to whom we transfer the data you provided when subscribing to the newsletter. The service provider uses this information to send and statistically analyze the newsletters on our behalf. For this analysis, the emails we send contain web beacons or tracking pixels, which are single-pixel image files stored on our website. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked. Using conversion tracking, we can also analyze whether a predefined action (e.g., purchasing a product on our website) has been performed after clicking a link in the newsletter. Technical information is also collected (e.g., time of access, IP address, browser type, and operating system). The data is collected exclusively in pseudonymized form and is not linked to your other personal data; direct identification of individuals is therefore impossible. This data is used solely for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of the recipients. If you wish to object to the data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. Service provider: Mailchimp Address: Rocket Science Group, LLC., 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA Privacy policy: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/ Since personal data is transferred to the USA, additional safeguards are required to ensure the level of data protection required by the GDPR. To guarantee this, we have agreed to standard contractual clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR. These agreements obligate the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of data protection in Europe. In cases where this cannot be guaranteed even through this contractual extension, we strive to obtain further agreements and commitments from the recipient in the USA.
