5) Contact

5.1 Shopify Inbox

This website uses the live chat system of the following provider: Shopify International Limited, Victoria Buildings, 2nd Floor, 1-2 Haddington Road, Dublin 4, D04 XN32, Ireland

The processing of personal data transmitted via chat takes place either in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, because it is necessary for the initiation or execution of a contract, or in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR due to our legitimate interest in the effective support of our site visitors.
Your data transmitted in this way will be deleted, subject to any conflicting statutory retention periods, once the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

In addition, cookies may be used to collect and evaluate additional information for the purpose of creating pseudonymized user profiles. However, this information does not serve to identify you personally and is not merged with other data sets. If this information is personally identifiable, it is processed in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization purposes.

Cookies can be prevented by selecting the appropriate browser settings. However, this may limit the functionality of our website.
You can object to the collection and storage of data for the purpose of creating a pseudonymized user profile at any time with future effect.

Data will also be transferred to: Shopify Inc., 150 Elgin St, Ottawa, ON K2P 1L4, Canada

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

5.2 WhatsApp Business

You have the option of contacting us via the WhatsApp messaging service provided by WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. For this purpose, we use the so-called "business version" of WhatsApp.

If you contact us via WhatsApp regarding a specific transaction (e.g., a placed order), we will store and use the mobile phone number you use for WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR to process and respond to your request. Based on the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide additional data (order number, customer number, address, or email address) so that we can assign your request to a specific process.

If you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (e.g. about the range of services, availability or our website), we will save and use the mobile phone number you use for WhatsApp and - if provided - your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient and timely provision of the requested information.

Your data will only be used to respond to your request via WhatsApp. It will not be shared with third parties.

Please note that WhatsApp Business receives access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transfers telephone numbers stored in the address book to a server of the parent company, Meta Platforms Inc., in the USA. To operate our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device whose address book only stores the WhatsApp contact data of users who have contacted us via WhatsApp.

This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact details are stored in our address book has consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp telephone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR by accepting the WhatsApp Terms of Use upon first use of the app on their device. The transmission of data from users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.

For information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by WhatsApp, as well as your rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that protects the data of our site visitors and prohibits its transfer to third parties.

5.3 When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email), personal data will be processed exclusively for the purpose of processing and answering your request and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.

The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your contact is related to a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted if the circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved and provided there are no statutory retention periods to the contrary.

6) Data processing when opening a customer account

Pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, personal data will continue to be collected and processed to the extent necessary if you provide it to us when opening a customer account. You can find out which data is required to open an account in the input mask of the corresponding form on our website.

Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), which enables an analysis of your use of our website.

By default, when you visit the website, Google Analytics 4 sets cookies. These cookies are stored on your device as small text blocks and collect certain information. This information also includes your IP address, which Google truncates to prevent it from being directly linked to you.

The information is transferred to Google servers and processed there. This may also involve transferring it to Google LLC, based in the USA.

Google uses the information collected on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for us, and provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted and abbreviated by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. The data collected as part of the use of Google Analytics 4 will be stored for a period of two months and then deleted.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies on the device used, will only take place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the site. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service using the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google that ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further legal information on Google Analytics 4 can be found at https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/ , https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de and under https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Demographic characteristics
Google Analytics 4 uses the special "demographic characteristics" feature to create statistics that provide information about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This is done by analyzing advertising and information from third parties. This allows target groups to be identified for marketing activities. However, the collected data cannot be assigned to a specific person and is deleted after a storage period of two months.

Google Signals
As an extension to Google Analytics 4, Google Signals can be used on this website to generate cross-device reports. If you have enabled personalized ads and linked your devices to your Google Account, Google can analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including those for cross-device conversions, subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you would like to stop cross-device analysis, you can deactivate the "Personalized Advertising" function in your Google Account settings. To do so, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de For more information about Google Signals, please visit the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de

10) Retargeting/remarketing and conversion tracking

Meta Pixel with advanced data comparison

Within our online offering, we use the "Meta Pixel" service of the following provider in the extended data matching mode: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta")

If a user clicks on an ad placed by us on Facebook or Instagram, a parameter is added to the URL of our linked page using "Meta Pixel." This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser after redirection via a cookie set by our linked page. Furthermore, this cookie records specific customer data, such as the email address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook or Instagram ad during transactions such as purchases, account registrations, or registrations (extended data matching). The cookie is then read and enables the transmission of the data, including the specific customer data, to Meta.

We use "Meta Pixel" with enhanced data matching to make our advertisements (so-called "ads") on Facebook and/or Instagram more effective and to ensure that they correspond to the interests of users or have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products determined based on the websites visited) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "custom audiences").

In addition, we analyze the effectiveness of our ads by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an ad (conversion). Compared to the standard "Meta Pixel" variant, the enhanced data matching feature helps us better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by tracking more attributed conversions.

All transmitted data is stored and processed by Meta so that it can be assigned to the respective user profile and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Meta's data usage guidelines ( https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ ). The data may enable Meta and its partners to place ads on and off Facebook.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Meta is generally transferred to a Meta server and stored there; in this context, it may also be transferred to Meta Platforms Inc. servers in the USA.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

11) Page functionalities

11.1 Facebook plugins

Our website uses social network plugins from the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland

These plugins enable direct interactions with content on the social network.

In order to increase the protection of your data when you visit our website, the plugins are initially deactivated and integrated into the site using the so-called “2-click” or “Shariff” solution.

This integration ensures that when you access a page on our website that contains such plugins, no connection is established with the provider's servers.

Only when you activate the plug-ins and thus consent to the data transfer in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR will your browser establish a direct connection to the provider's servers. Regardless of whether you log in to an existing user profile, a certain amount of information about your device (including your IP address), your browser, and your page browsing history will be transmitted to the provider and, if necessary, further processed there.

If you are logged into an existing user profile on the provider's social network, information about interactions carried out via the plug-ins will also be published there and displayed to your contacts.
You can revoke your consent at any time by deactivating the activated plugin by clicking on it again. However, this revocation will not affect the data that has already been transferred to the provider.

Data may also be transferred to: Meta Platforms Inc., USA

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

12) Tools and Other

Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "cookie consent tool" is displayed to users when they visit the website in the form of an interactive user interface, where consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by checking the boxes. By using the tool, all cookies/services that require consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding consent by checking the boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on the user's device if consent has been granted.

The tool uses technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

A further legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. As the controller, we are legally obliged to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information about the operator and the setting options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

If we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes. You can exercise your right of objection as described above.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT OF OBJECTION, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.

14) Duration of storage of personal data

The duration of storage of personal data is determined based on the respective legal basis, the purpose of the processing and – where applicable – also on the respective statutory retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law).

When processing personal data on the basis of an express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, the data concerned will be stored until you revoke your consent.

If there are statutory retention periods for data that are processed within the framework of legal transactions or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, these data will be routinely deleted after the retention periods have expired, provided that they are no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in continuing to store them.

When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, these data will be stored until you exercise your right of objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
