Data protection declaration

Unless stated otherwise below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually obligatory, nor required for conclusion of

a contract. You are not obliged to provide your data. Not providing it will have no consequences. This only applies as long as the processing

procedures below do not state otherwise.

“Personal data” is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Server log files

You can use our websites without submitting personal data.

Every time our website is accessed, user data is transferred to us or our web hosts/IT service providers by your internet browser and stored in

server log files. This stored data includes for example the name of the site called up, date and time of the request, the IP address, amount of

data transferred and the provider making the request. The processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1) f) GDPR due to our legitimate

interests in ensuring the smooth operation of our website as well as improving our services.

Your data may be transferred to third countries outside the EU, in particular to Canada and the USA, and processed there. The EU

Commission has issued an adequacy decision for Canada. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, the Trans-

Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Shopify is not certified under the TADPF. This data transfer takes place on the basis of contractual

obligations that are comparable to those of the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses.

Proactive contact of the customer by e-mail

If you make contact with us proactively via email, we shall collect your personal data (name, email address, message text) only to the extent

provided by you. The purpose of the data processing is to handle and respond to your contact request.

If the initial contact serves to implement pre-contractual measures (e.g. consultation in the case of purchase interest, order creation) or

concerns an agreement already concluded between you and us, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

If the initial contact occurs for other reasons, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purposes of our

overriding, legitimate interest in handling and responding to your request. In this case, on grounds relating to your particular situation,

you have the right to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you and carried out on the basis of Article

6(1)(f) GDPR. We will only use your email address to process your request. Your data will subsequently be deleted in compliance with statutory retention

periods, unless you have agreed to further processing and use.

Customer account Orders

improving your shopping experience and simplifying order processing. The processing will be carried out on the basis of art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR

with your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us without affecting the legality of the processing carried out with

your consent up to the withdrawal. Your customer account will then be deleted.

Collection, processing, and transfer of personal data in orders

When you submit an order we only collect and use your personal data insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment and handling of your order

as well as processing of your queries. The provision of data is necessary for conclusion of a contract. Failure to provide it will prevent the

conclusion of any contract. The processing will occur on the basis of Article 6(1) b) GDPR and is required for the fulfilment of a contract with

you.

Your data will be shared, for example, with shipping companies, dropshipping or fulfillment providers, payment service providers, service

providers for order processing, and IT service providers. We will comply strictly with legal requirements in every case. The scope of data

transmission is restricted to a minimum.

Your data may be transferred to third countries outside the EU, in particular to Canada and the USA, and processed there. The EU

Commission has issued an adequacy decision for Canada. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, the Trans-

Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Shopify is not certified under the TADPF. This data transfer takes place on the basis of contractual

obligations that are comparable to those of the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses.

send you a review reminder by e-mail after an order has been placed, provided you have expressly consented to this.

Processing will be carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR with your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time using

advertising, unless you have objected to this use. The provision of these data is necessary for conclusion of an agreement. Failure to provide

it will prevent the conclusion of any agreement.

We use your email address, which we obtained in the course of selling a good or service, for the electronic transmission of marketing for our

own goods or services which are similar to those you have already purchased from us, unless you have objected to this use. You must

provide your email address in order to conclude a contract. Failure to provide it will prevent the conclusion of any contract. The processing will

be carried out on the basis of art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR due to our justified interest in direct marketing. You can object to this use of your email

Analysis Advertising tracking

Use of Google Analytics 4

We use the Google Analytics web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland;

"Google") on our website.

The data processing serves the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. To this

end, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website,

compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

Use of Meta Pixel

We use Meta Pixel from Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland; "Meta") on our

website.

Meta and we are jointly responsible for the collection of your data and the transfer of this data to Meta when the service is integrated. The

basis for this is an agreement between us and Meta on the joint processing of personal data, in which the respective responsibilities are

defined. The agreement is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/legal/terms/businesstools. According to this agreement, we are responsible

in particular for the fulfilment of the information obligations in accordance with Arts 13 and 14 GDPR, for compliance with the security

requirements of Art. 32 GDPR with regard to the correct technical implementation and configuration of the service, and for compliance with the

obligations in accordance with Arts 33 and 34 GDPR, insofar as a violation of the protection of personal data affects our obligations under the

agreement on joint processing. Meta is responsible for enabling the rights of the data subject in accordance with Arts 15-20 GDPR, for

complying with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR with regard to the security of the service, and for complying with the obligations of

Arts 33 and 34 GDPR, insofar as a breach of personal data protection concerns Meta's obligations under the joint processing agreement.

The application serves to address the visitor to the website with interest-related advertising on the social networks Facebook and Instagram. We have implemented Meta’s remarketing tag on our website for this purpose. This tag sets up a direct connection to Meta’s servers when

you visit our website. This informs the Meta server which of our web pages you have visited. Meta assigns this information to your personal

Facebook and/or Instagram user account. When you visit the social networks Facebook or Instagram, you will then be shown personalised,

interest-related ads.

The application also serves the purpose of creating conversion statistics. This allows us to find out the total number of users who have clicked

our adverts and were forwarded to a page equipped with a conversion tracking tag as well as what actions are taken after being redirected to

this website. However, they do not receive any information which could be used to personally identify users.

Your data may be transmitted to the USA. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy

Framework (TADPF). Meta has certified itself in accordance with the TADPF and has thus undertaken to comply with European data

protection principles.

The processing of your personal data is carried out with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your

consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out with your consent up to the withdrawal.

For this purpose, you can deactivate the remarketing function “Custom Audiences”. You can find more detailed information on Meta’s

collection and use of data and your associated rights and options for protecting your privacy in Meta’s privacy policy:

Plug-ins

Use of the Google Tag Manager

Our website uses the Google Tag Manager from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; "Google"). This

application manages JavaScript tags and HTML tags which are used in particular to implement tracking and analysis tools. The data

processing serves to facilitate the needs-based design and optimisation of our website. The Google Tag Manager itself neither stores cookies

nor processes personal data. It does, however, enable the triggering of further tags which may collect and process personal data. You can

find more detailed information on the terms and conditions of use and data protection at https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-

policy.html

Use of social plug-ins via “Shariff”

Our website uses social network plug-ins. We use data protection-compliant “Shariff” buttons to ensure that you retain control over your

data.No connection is made to the social network servers and no data submitted without your explicit consent. “Shariff” was developed by

specialists at the computer magazine c't. It enables more personal privacy in the network and replaces the usual social network "share"

buttons. You can find more information on the Shariff project here https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-

Datenschutz-2467514.html. When you click the buttons a pop-up window appears, allowing you to log on with the relevant provider using your data. It is only after you

actively login that a direct connection to the social network is set up. By logging in, you give your permission for the transfer of your data to the

respective social media provider. At this time, information such as your IP address and which websites you have visited is transmitted. Should

you be connected simultaneously with one or more of your social network accounts, the information collected is also assigned to your

corresponding profiles. Therefore, you can only prevent this assignment by logging yourself out before visiting our website and before

activating the button for your social media accounts. The social networks listed below are integrated with the “Shariff” function. You can find

more detailed information on the scope and purpose of collection and use of the data, your associated rights and options for protecting your

privacy in the provider’s privacy policy via the link.
