When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as carried out by us.

§ 6 Processing of data from your end devices ("Cookie Policy").

(1) In addition to the above-mentioned data, we use technical aids for various functions when you use our website, in particular cookies, which can be stored on your terminal device. When you call up our website and at any time later, you have the choice of whether you generally permit the setting of cookies or which individual additional functions you would like to select. You can make changes in your browser settings or via our Consent Manager. In the following, we first describe cookies from a technical point of view (2), before we go into more detail about your individual choices by describing technically necessary cookies (3) and cookies that you can voluntarily select or deselect (4).

(2) Cookies are text files or information in a database that are stored on your hard drive and assigned to the browser you are using so that certain information can flow to the entity that sets the cookie. Cookies cannot execute programs or transfer viruses to your computer, but are primarily used to make the website faster and more user-friendly. This website uses the following types of cookies, whose functionality and legal basis we will explain below:

- Transient cookies: Such cookies, especially session cookies, are automatically deleted when the browser is closed or by logging out. They contain a so-called session ID. In this way, various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session and your computer can be recognized when you return to our website.

- Persistent cookies: such are automatically deleted after a predefined duration, which is set differently depending on the cookie. You can view the cookies set and the durations at any time in your browser settings and delete the cookies manually.

- Other technologies: These functions are not based on cookies, but on similar technical mechanisms, such as Flash cookies, HTML5 objects or an analysis of your browser settings. The result is likewise that we can use the techniques described below. Here, too, you can of course consent or object.

(3) Mandatory, for the display of the website technically necessary functions: The technical structure of the website requires us to use techniques, in particular cookies. Without these techniques, our website cannot be displayed (completely correctly) or the support functions could not be enabled. These are basically transient cookies that are deleted after the end of your website visit, at the latest when you close your browser. You cannot deselect these cookies if you wish to use our website. The individual cookies can be seen in the Constent Manager. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

(4) Optional cookies when you give your consent: We set various cookies only after your consent, which you can select during your first visit to our website via the so-called cookie consent.tool. The functions are only activated in the event of your consent and may serve in particular to enable us to analyze and improve visits to our website, to make it easier for you to use it via different browsers or terminal devices, to recognize you when you visit, or to serve advertising (possibly also to orient advertising to interests, to measure the effectiveness of ads, or to show interest-oriented advertising). The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DS-GVO. The revocation of your consent is possible at any time without affecting the permissibility of the processing until the revocation. The functions used by us, which you can select and revoke individually via the Constent Manager, are described below.

§ 7 Special forms of use

1. Use of the blog functions

(1) In our blog, where we publish various posts on topics related to our activities, you can make public comments. Your comment will be published with your specified username at the post. We recommend using a pseudonym instead of your real name. You are required to provide your username and e-mail address; all other information is voluntary. If you post a comment, we will continue to store your IP address, which we will delete after [one week]. The storage is necessary to be able to defend ourselves against liability claims in cases of possible publication of illegal content. We need your e-mail address in order to contact you in the event that a third party objects to your comment as unlawful. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c and f DS-GVO. The comments are not checked before publication. We reserve the right to delete comments if they are objected to by third parties as unlawful.

2. Use of our webshop

(1) If you would like to order in our webshop, it is necessary for the conclusion of the contract that you provide your personal data, which we need for the purpose of processing your order. Mandatory information necessary for the processing of contracts is marked separately, other information is voluntary. For payment, you can provide your payment data to our payment service providers or we pass on your payment data to our house bank, whereby these third parties are in each case independently responsible for the payment processing. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DS-GVO.

You can voluntarily create a customer account, through which we can store your data for future purchases. When creating an account under "[My Account]", the data you provide will be stored revocably. All other data, including your user account, you can always delete in the customer area.

We may also process the data you provide to inform you about other interesting products from our portfolio or to send you e-mails with technical information.

(2) We are obliged by commercial and tax law to store your address, payment and order data for a period of ten years. However, we will restrict processing after [three years], i.e. your data will only be used from this point onwards to comply with the legal obligations.

(3) To prevent unauthorized access by third parties to your personal data, the ordering process is encrypted using TLS technology..

§ 8 Newsletter

1. Newsletter

(1) You can subscribe to our newsletter, with which we inform you about our current interesting offers, by giving your consent. The advertised goods are named in the declaration of consent.

(2) For the registration to our newsletter we use the so-called double-opt-in procedure. This means that after your registration we will send you an e-mail to the specified e-mail address in which we ask you to confirm that you are the owner of the specified e-mail address and wish to receive the notifications. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we store your respective IP addresses used and times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data.

(3) Mandatory information for sending the newsletter is only your e-mail address. The provision of further, separately marked data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. After your confirmation, we store your e-mail address for the purpose of sending the newsletter. Legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

(4) You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter and unsubscribe at any time. You can declare the revocation by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter e-mail, [via this form on the website,] by e-mail to [Newsletter@example.com] or by sending a message to the contact details provided in the imprint.

[(5) In addition, you can also give your consent for us to evaluate your user behavior when sending the newsletter. For this evaluation, the emails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are single-pixel image files that are stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the data mentioned above [in § 3] and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. Links received in the newsletter also contain this ID.

You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in each e-mail or by informing us via another contact method as shown above. The information will be stored for as long as you are subscribed to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we store the data purely statistically and anonymously. 

2. Use and application of Shopify email

We use the service of the company Shopify International Limited, c/o Intertrust Ireland, 2nd Floor 1-2 Victoria Buildings, Haddington Road, Dublin4 XN32, Ireland to send our newsletter.

§ 9 Web Analytics

1. Web tracking by means of Google Analytics

(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web tracking service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). The purpose of our use of the tool is to enable the analysis of your user interactions on websites and in apps and to improve our offer through the statistics and reports obtained and to make it more interesting for you as a user.

(2) We primarily record the interactions between you as a user of the website and our website with the help of cookies, data on the device/browser, IP addresses and website or app activities. Google Analytics also collects your IP addresses to ensure the security of the service and to provide us, as the website operator, with information about which country, region or location the respective user comes from (so-called "IP location determination"). For your protection, however, we naturally use the anonymization function ("IP masking"), i.e. that Google truncates the IP addresses by the last octet within the EU/EEA..

(3) Google acts as an order processor and we have concluded a corresponding contract with Google. The information generated by the cookie and the (usually shortened) IP addresses about your use of this website are usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and processed there. For these cases, Google has, according to its own information, imposed a standard on itself that corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has promised to comply with applicable data protection laws in the international transfer of data. We have also agreed so-called standard contractual clauses with Google, the purpose of which is to ensure compliance with an appropriate level of data protection in the third country.

(4) The legal basis for the collection and further processing of the information (which takes place for a maximum of 14 months) is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DS-GVO). The revocation of your consent is possible at any time, without affecting the permissibility of the processing until the revocation. In apps, you can reset the advertising ID under the Android or iOS settings. The easiest way to revoke your consent is via our Consent Manager or by installing the Google browser add-on, which can be accessed via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de/.

(5) For more information on the scope of services provided by Google Analytics, please visit https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/.

§ 13 Social Media

1. Use of social media plug-ins

(1) of social media plug-ins

(1) We currently use the following social media plug-ins: Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, which are only loaded if you have previously activated the function by giving your consent. Through the plug-ins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with the social networks and other users. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DS-GVO, i.e. the integration only takes place after your consent.

(2) The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) for the display of tailored advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. The data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in to the plug-in provider, your data collected from us will be directly assigned to your account with the plug-in provider. If you click the activated button and, for example, link to the page, the plug-in provider also saves this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this allows you to avoid an assignment to your profile with the plug-in provider.

(3) The information collected is stored on servers of the providers, in the case of international providers also outside Europe. For these cases, the provider has, according to its own information, imposed a standard on itself that corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has promised to comply with applicable data protection laws in the international transfer of data. We have also agreed so-called standard data protection clauses with the providers, the purpose of which is to ensure compliance with an appropriate level of data protection in the third country.

(4) The revocation of your consent is possible at any time without affecting the permissibility of the processing until the revocation. The easiest way to revoke your consent is via our Consent Manager or via the functions of the social media providers.

(5) For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plug-in provider, please refer to the data protection declarations of these providers provided below.

We would like to point out that you use our appearances on social media platforms and their functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating). When you visit our websites, the providers of the social media platforms collect, among other things, your IP address as well as other information that is available on your terminal device in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide us, as the operator of the accounts, with statistical information about the interaction with us.

(3) The data collected about you in this context is processed by the platforms and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union, in particular the USA. According to their own statements, all of the aforementioned providers maintain an adequate level of data protection equivalent to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and we have concluded the standard data protection clauses with the companies (with the exception of Xing, as this provider is based within the EU). We are not aware of how the social media platforms use the data from your visit to our account and interaction with our posts for their own purposes, how long this data is stored and whether data is shared with third parties. Data processing may differ depending on whether you are registered and logged in to the social network or visit the site as a non-registered and/or non-logged-in user. When you access a post or the account, the IP address assigned to your terminal device is transmitted to the provider of the social media platform. If you are currently logged in as a user, a cookie on your end device can be used to track how you have moved around the network. Buttons embedded in websites enable the platforms to record your visits to these website pages and assign them to your respective profile. Based on this data, content or advertising can be offered tailored to you. If you want to avoid this, you should log out or deactivate the "stay logged in" function, delete the cookies on your device and restart your browser.

(4) We, as the provider of the information service, also only process the data from your use of our service that you provide to us and that requires interaction. If, for example, you ask a question that we can only answer by e-mail, we will store your information in accordance with the general principles of our data processing, which we describe in this privacy policy. The legal basis for the processing of your data on the social media platform is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

(5) To exercise your data subject rights, you can contact both us or the provider of the social media platform. To the extent that one party is not responsible for responding or must obtain the information from the other party, we or the provider will then forward your request to the respective partner. Please contact the operator of the social media platform directly for questions about profiling, processing of your data when using the website. For questions about the processing of your interaction with us on our site, write to the contact details provided by us above.

(6) The providers describe what information the social media platform receives and how it is used in their privacy statements (see link in the table above). There you will also find information on contact options as well as on the settings options for advertisements. Further information on social networks and how you can protect your data can also be found at www.youngdata.de.

3. YouTube video integration

(1) We have integrated YouTube videos into our online offering that are stored on https://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website.

Only when you play the videos will the data mentioned in paragraph 2 be transmitted. We have no influence on this data transmission. The legal basis for the display of the videos is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DS-GVO, i.e. the integration only takes place after your consent.

(2) By visiting the website, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the above-mentioned basic data such as IP address and timestamp are transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether there is no user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the assignment with your profile at YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and to exercise this right you must contact YouTube.

(3) The information collected is stored on Google servers, also in the USA. For these cases, the provider has, according to its own information, imposed a standard on itself that corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has promised to comply with applicable data protection laws in the international transfer of data. We have also agreed so-called standard data protection clauses with Google, the purpose of which is to ensure compliance with an appropriate level of data protection in the third country.

3. Use of Google Ads

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DS-GVO, i.e. the integration only takes place after your consent..

(2) The advertising materials are delivered by Google via so-called "ad servers". For this purpose, we and other websites use so-called ad server cookies, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as display of the ads or clicks by users, can be measured. Through the Google Ads cookies stored on our website, we can obtain information about the success of our advertising campaigns. These cookies are not intended to identify you personally. For this cookie, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) as well as opt-out information (marking that a user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values.

(3) The cookies set by Google enable Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of the website of an Ads customer and the cookie stored on his computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each Ads customer, so the cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of other Ads customers. Through the integration of Google Ads, Google receives the information that you have called up the relevant part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is the possibility that the provider learns your IP address and stores it..

(4) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We ourselves do not independently collect personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures, but provide Google alone with the opportunity to collect the data. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google, which provide information about which ads were clicked on how often and at what prices. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising media, in particular we cannot identify the users on the basis of this information.

(5) The revocation of your consent is possible at any time without affecting the permissibility of the processing until the revocation. The easiest way to revoke is via our Consent Manager or via the following functions:

(a) by setting your browser software accordingly; in particular, suppressing third-party cookies will result in you not receiving third-party ads;

b) by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com, www.google.de/settings/ads, which setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies;

c) by disabling the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the "About Ads" self-regulatory campaign, through the link www.aboutads.info/choices, this setting being deleted when you delete your cookies;

This provides us with information in statistical form about the total number of readers of our ads, which ads are particularly popular and, if applicable, further information about consequences from the ad.

(2) The legal basis for the processing of your data is also in this respect Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DS-GVO, i.e. the integration only takes place after your consent. You can prevent or no longer use the conversion tracking function in the same way as described above for Google Ads..

Via a cookie ID, Google records which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once. In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later calls up the advertiser's website with the same browser and buys something there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.
