​

For the purpose of contract execution in accordance with Art. 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR, we collect personal data if you voluntarily provide them to us as part of your order. Mandatory fields are marked as such because we require these data to process the contract, and we cannot fulfill the order without them.

​

Further details about how we process your data, especially regarding the disclosure to our service providers for order, payment, and shipping processing, can be found in the following sections of this privacy policy. After the contract has been fully executed, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the expiry of tax and commercial retention periods in accordance with Art. 6(1)(1)(c) GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR or we reserve the right to use the data in a way that is legally permitted and of which we inform you in this policy.

Depending on the selected payment method, we pass on the data necessary for processing the payment transaction to our technical service providers (acting on our behalf under data processing agreements), the assigned financial institutions, or the selected payment service provider, to the extent this is required for payment processing. This is done in accordance with Art. 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR.

​

In some cases, the payment service providers themselves collect the data necessary for the transaction, for example, on their own websites or through a technical integration during the order process. The privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies in these cases.

7.1 Use of Google Services for Web Analysis and Advertising Purposes

​

We use the following technologies from Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). The information automatically collected about your use of our website through Google technologies is usually transmitted to and stored on a server of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. No adequacy decision from the European Commission exists for the USA. Our cooperation is based on standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If your IP address is collected via Google technologies, it is shortened by activating IP anonymization before storage on Google servers. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server and shortened there. Unless otherwise specified for the individual technologies, data processing is based on an agreement between joint controllers pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. Further information about data processing by Google can be found in Google’s privacy policies.

​

Google Analytics

​

For website analysis purposes, data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, as well as information about your use of our website) is automatically collected and stored with Google Analytics, from which pseudonymous user profiles are created. Cookies may be used for this. Your IP address is generally not combined with other Google data. Data processing is based on a data processing agreement with Google.

To optimize marketing of our website, we have enabled data sharing settings for “Google products and services,” allowing Google to access and use the data collected and processed by Google Analytics to improve Google services. This data sharing is based on an additional agreement between joint controllers. We have no influence on the subsequent data processing by Google.
We use the User-ID feature to assign a unique, permanent ID to your interaction data across one or multiple sessions on our online offerings to analyze your behavior across devices and sessions.
We also use Google Optimize as an extension of Google Analytics for testing purposes.

Google Signals, an extension of Google Analytics, enables “cross-device tracking.” If your internet-enabled devices are linked to your Google account and you have enabled “personalized ads” in your Google account, Google can generate reports on your usage behavior (including cross-device user numbers), even when switching devices. No personal data processing occurs by us; we only receive statistics generated based on Google Signals.

The DoubleClick cookie used by Google Analytics enables recognition of your browser when visiting other websites for web analysis and advertising. Google uses this information to compile reports about website activity and provide other services related to website use.

​

Google AdSense

​

Our website markets space for third-party ads via Google AdSense, which are displayed at various places on this site. The DoubleClick cookie enables showing more interest-based ads through data collection (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and your use of our website) and automatic assignment of a pseudonymous User ID, which determines interests based on visits to this and other websites.

​

Google Ads

​

For advertising purposes on Google search results and third-party websites, a Google Remarketing cookie is set when you visit our site. This cookie collects and processes data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, as well as your use of our website) and uses a pseudonymous cookie ID and your visited pages to enable interest-based advertising. Further data processing only occurs if you have enabled “personalized ads” in your Google account. If you are logged into Google during your visit, Google uses your data along with Google Analytics data to create device-crossing remarketing lists.

For website analysis and event tracking, we use Google Ads Conversion Tracking to measure your subsequent behavior if you came to our website via a Google Ads advertisement. Cookies and data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser info, and usage data based on defined events like webpage visits or newsletter registration) may be collected, from which pseudonymous user profiles are created.

​

Google Maps

​

Google Maps collects data about your use of Maps features (especially IP address and location data), transmits it to Google, and processes it. We have no influence on this subsequent processing.

Google reCAPTCHA

​

To protect our web forms from misuse and spam by automated software (“bots”), Google reCAPTCHA collects data (IP address, time of visit, browser information, and your use of our website) and analyzes your use via JavaScript and cookies.

7.2 Use of Facebook Services for Web Analysis and Advertising Purposes

Facebook Pixel

We use the Facebook Pixel within the following technologies of Facebook Ireland Ltd.,

The Pixel automatically collects and stores data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and info about your use of our website based on events such as page visits or newsletter registrations), from which pseudonymous user profiles are created.

In the context of “advanced matching,” additional hashed information (e.g., names, email addresses, phone numbers) is collected and stored to identify individuals. The Facebook Pixel automatically sets a cookie that enables pseudonymous recognition of your browser when visiting other websites. Facebook combines this data with data from your Facebook account to generate reports about website activity and to provide further services, especially personalized and group-based advertising.

The data is usually transmitted to and stored on servers of Facebook, Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California, USA. No adequacy decision from the European Commission exists for the USA. If the data transfer to the USA falls under our responsibility, our cooperation is based on standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.

​

Facebook Analytics

​

Using data collected via the Facebook Pixel, Facebook Analytics creates statistics on visitor activity on our website. Data processing is based on a data processing agreement with Facebook. The analysis serves to optimally present and market our website.

​

Facebook Ads

​

We advertise on Facebook and other platforms via Facebook Ads. We set the campaign parameters. Facebook decides on ad placement per user. Unless otherwise stated, data processing is based on an agreement between joint controllers under Art. 26 GDPR, limited to data collection and transmission to Facebook Ireland. Facebook Ireland’s subsequent data processing is not covered by this agreement.

Using visitor statistics created with the Facebook Pixel, we conduct group-based advertising via Facebook Custom Audience by determining target group features. For this, Facebook acts as our processor in the advanced data matching process.

Based on the pseudonymous cookie ID set by the Facebook Pixel and data on your website usage, we perform personalized remarketing via Facebook Pixel.

Through Facebook Pixel Conversions, we measure your subsequent behavior for web analysis and event tracking when you access our site via a Facebook Ads advertisement. Data processing is based on a data processing agreement with Facebook.
