We are pleased that you are interested in our online shop. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we will provide you with detailed information about how we handle your data.

1. Access to data and hosting

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Every time you access a website, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of retrieval, the amount of data transferred and the type of request (access data) and documents the retrieval.

This access data is evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the website and improving our offering. In accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f of GDPR, this serves to protect our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offering, which prevail within the framework of a balancing of interests. All access data is deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

Hosting services provided by a third party

As part of the processing on our behalf, a third-party provider provides us with the services of hosting and displaying the website. All data collected as part of the use of this website or in the forms in the online shop described below are processed on their servers. Processing on other servers only takes place within the scope explained here.

This service provider is based within a country of the European Union or the European Economic Area.

2. Data collection and use for contract processing, contact and when opening a customer account

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order or when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email). Mandatory fields are marked as such because in these cases we absolutely need the data to process the contract or to process your contact and you cannot send the order or contact us without providing it. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to us in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter b of GDPR to process the contract and process your enquiries.
If you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a of GDPR when deciding to open a customer account, we will use your data for the purpose of opening a customer account.
After the contract has been fully processed or your customer account has been deleted, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the tax and commercial retention periods have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to do so. Any further use of data is permitted by law and will be communicated to you in this declaration. Your customer account can be deleted at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

3. Data exchange

In order to fulfil the contract, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter b of GDPR, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select during the ordering process, we pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the payment service provider commissioned by us or to the selected payment service in order to process payments. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you create an account with them. In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. The data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies.

We also use an external merchandise management system to process orders and contracts. The data transfer or processing that takes place in this context is carried out on the basis of order processing.

Data transfer to debt collection companies

In order to fulfil the contract in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter b of GDPR, we will pass on your data to a commissioned debt collection company if our payment claim has not been settled despite a previous reminder. In this case, the debt will be collected directly by the debt collection company. In addition, the transfer serves to protect our legitimate interests, which prevail within the framework of a balancing of interests, in the effective assertion or enforcement of our payment claim in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f of GDPR.

4. Email newsletter

An appropriate level of data protection is guaranteed. Further information on data protection at Trusted Shops GmbH can be found here .

When you access the Trustbadge, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which also contains your IP address, the date and time of the retrieval, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the retrieval. To analyze security problems, individual access data is saved in a security database. The log files are automatically deleted no later than 90 days after they are created.

The contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops applies. For this purpose, personal data is automatically collected from the order data. Whether you as a buyer are already registered to use the product is automatically checked using a neutral parameter, the email address hashed using a cryptographic one-way function. Before transmission, the email address is converted into this hash value, which cannot be decrypted by Trusted Shops. After checking for a match, the parameter is automatically deleted.

This is necessary to protect the overriding legitimate interests of us and Trusted Shops in providing the buyer protection and transaction evaluation services associated with the specific order in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f of GDPR.
