We are pleased that you are interested in our online shop. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below, we provide detailed information on how we handle your data.
You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time a webpage is accessed, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access. This access data is evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring the trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offerings. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offerings, which predominate within the context of a balance of interests according to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

The Trustbadge and the associated services are provided by Trusted Shops AG, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne ("Trusted Shops"), with whom we share joint responsibility under data protection law according to Art. 26 GDPR.

8.1 Data Processing when Integrating the Trustbadge / Other Widgets
The Trustbadge is provided by a US content delivery network (CDN) provider. An adequate level of data protection is ensured by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, available for the USA here. Service providers used in the USA are generally certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). More information is available here. If the service providers used are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been agreed as an appropriate guarantee.
When the Trustbadge is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which also contains your IP address, the date and time of access, the transferred data volume, and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access. The IP address is anonymized immediately after collection, so the stored data cannot be assigned to you. The anonymized data is used for statistical purposes and error analysis.
8.2 Data Processing after Order Completion
If you have given your consent, the Trustbadge accesses order information stored on your device (order total, order number, and possibly purchased product) as well as your email address after order completion, and your email address is hashed using a cryptographic one-way function. The hash value is then transmitted to Trusted Shops along with the order information according to Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR.
This serves to check whether you are already registered for Trusted Shops services. If this is the case, further processing is carried out according to the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops. If you are not yet registered for the services or do not give your consent for automatic recognition via the Trustbadge, you will be given the option to manually register for the services or to complete the protection under your existing user agreement.
To do this, the Trustbadge accesses the following information stored on your device after you complete your order: order total, order number, and email address. This is necessary so we can offer you buyer protection. Data is only transmitted to Trusted Shops if you actively choose to click the corresponding button in the so-called Trustcard to complete the buyer protection. If you choose to use the services, further processing is governed by the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops according to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, in order to complete your registration for buyer protection and secure the order, and possibly to send you review invitations by email.
Trusted Shops uses service providers in the areas of hosting, monitoring, and logging. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purpose of ensuring smooth operation. Processing may take place in third countries (USA and Israel). An adequate level of data protection is ensured by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, available for the USA here and for Israel here. Service providers used in the USA are generally certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). More information is available here. If the service providers used are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been agreed as an appropriate guarantee.
