Thank you for your interest in our online shop. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below, we inform you in detail about how we handle your data.
1. ACCESS DATA AND HOSTING
You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time a website is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of retrieval, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the retrieval. This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offerings. This serves to protect our legitimate interests, which outweigh conflicting interests, in a correct presentation of our offerings in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. All access data is deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.
HOSTING
The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise explained in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected in forms provided for this purpose on this website will be processed on their servers. For questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please contact the contact option described in this privacy policy.
Our service providers are located and/or use servers in the USA and other countries outside the EU and the EEA. For these countries, there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission. Our cooperation with them is based on standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.
Our service providers are located and/or use servers in the following countries for which the European Commission has issued a decision determining an adequate level of data protection: Canada
2. DATA PROCESSING FOR CONTRACT FULFILLMENT AND CONTACTING US
2.1 DATA PROCESSING FOR CONTRACT FULFILLMENT
For the purpose of contract fulfillment in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, we collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order. Mandatory fields are marked as such, as in these cases we absolutely need the data for contract fulfillment and cannot send the order without it. Which data is collected is evident from the respective input forms.
Further information on the processing of your data, in particular on the transfer to our service providers for the purpose of order, payment, and shipping processing, can be found in the following sections of this privacy policy. After complete processing of the contract, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the expiry of tax and commercial law retention periods in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this statement.
DATA TRANSFER FOR AGE VERIFICATION
If your order includes goods whose sale is subject to age restrictions, we ensure that the customer has reached the required minimum age by using a reliable procedure that includes personal identity and age verification. For this purpose, the SCHUFA IdentitätsCheck is used on our website. This service is operated by SCHUFA Holding AG, Kormoranweg 5, 65201 Wiesbaden, Germany (hereinafter: SCHUFA).
To ensure the required minimum age, individual personal data (e.g., name, address, and date of birth) are transmitted to SCHUFA Holding AG. A so-called identity check with Q-Bit is then carried out, which has been positively evaluated by the Commission for Youth Media Protection (KJM) for age verification. The data transfer to SCHUFA serves, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, to protect our legitimate interests, which outweigh conflicting interests, in ensuring an offering compliant with youth protection law and complying with legal provisions on youth protection. No credit check takes place in this regard.
2.2 CUSTOMER ACCOUNT

You can delete your customer account at any time either by sending a message to the contact option described in this privacy policy or by using a dedicated function in the customer account. After deleting your customer account, your data will be deleted, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this statement.

In the context of customer communication, we collect personal data for processing your inquiries in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR when you voluntarily provide them to us when contacting us (e.g., via contact form, live chat tool, or email). Mandatory fields are marked as such, as in these cases we absolutely need the data to process your contact. Which data is collected is evident from the respective input forms. After your inquiry has been fully processed, your data will be deleted, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this statement.
3. DATA PROCESSING FOR SHIPPING PURPOSES

This serves to fulfill the contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

There is no adequacy decision from the European Commission for the USA. Our cooperation with them is based on standard data protection clauses of the European Commission. If your IP address is collected via Google technologies, it will be truncated before being stored on Google's servers by activating IP anonymization. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server and truncated there.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS
For the purpose of website analysis, data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website) is automatically collected and stored using Google Analytics, from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. Cookies may be used for this purpose. Your IP address is generally not merged with other Google data. Data processing is carried out on the basis of an agreement on commissioned processing by Google.
For the purpose of optimized marketing of our website, we have activated the data sharing settings for "Google products and services". This allows Google to access and then use the data collected and processed by Google Analytics to improve Google services. Data sharing with Google within the scope of these data sharing settings is based on an additional agreement between controllers. We have no influence on the subsequent data processing by Google.
For the purpose of optimized marketing of our website, we use the so-called User-ID function. With the help of this function, we can assign a unique, permanent ID to your interaction data from one or more sessions on our online presences and thus analyze your user behavior across devices and sessions.
We also use the extended function of Google Analytics Google Optimize for creating and carrying out tests.
For web analysis, the extended function of Google Analytics Google Signals enables so-called "cross-device tracking". If your internet-enabled devices are linked to your Google account and you have activated the "personalized advertising" setting in your Google account, Google can create reports on your usage behavior (especially the cross-device user numbers), even if you change your end device. We do not process personal data in this respect; we only receive statistics created on the basis of Google Signals.
For web analysis and advertising purposes, the extended function of Google Analytics, the so-called DoubleClick cookie, enables your browser to be recognized when visiting other websites. Google will use this information to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services related to website usage.
GOOGLE ADSENSE
Our website markets space for third-party ads via Google AdSense. These ads are displayed to you at various places on this website. The so-called DoubleClick cookie enables the display of interest-based advertising by collecting and processing data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website) and the automatic assignment of a pseudonymous UserID, with the help of which interests are determined based on visits to this and other websites.
GOOGLE ADS

Further data processing only takes place if you have activated the "personalized advertising" setting in your Google account. In this case, if you are logged into Google during your visit to our website, Google uses your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing.
For website analysis and event tracking, we measure your subsequent usage behavior via Google Ads Conversion Tracking if you have reached our website via an advertisement from Google Ads. Cookies may be used for this purpose and data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website based on events specified by us, such as visiting a website or subscribing to a newsletter) may be collected, from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms.

For this purpose, a cookie is automatically set by the Facebook Pixel when you visit our website, which automatically enables your browser to be recognized when visiting other websites by means of a pseudonymous CookieID. Facebook will combine this information with other data from your Facebook account and use it to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services related to website usage, in particular personalized and group-based advertising.
