2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g. orders or enquiries to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the string "https://" and the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

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

4) Cookies
To make visiting our website attractive and to enable certain functions, we use cookies — small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser (so-called "session cookies"); others remain on your device for a longer period and allow website settings to be saved (so-called "persistent cookies"). In the latter case, you can find the storage duration in the cookie settings overview of your web browser.
Where individual cookies we use also process personal data, this is done pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR either to perform the contract, pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in the case of consent given, or pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a user-friendly and effective design of the site visit.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to decide individually whether to accept them, or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general.
Please note that if you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.
5) Contact
5.1 WhatsApp Business
You have the option of contacting us via the messaging service WhatsApp, 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 in connection with a specific transaction (e.g. an order you have placed), we store and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp and — if provided — your first and last name pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR to process and respond to your enquiry. On the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide further data (order number, customer number, address or e-mail address) in order to be able to assign your enquiry to a specific process.
If you use our WhatsApp contact for general enquiries (e.g. about our range of services, availability or our website), we store and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp and — if provided — your first and last name pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing the requested information efficiently and promptly.
Your data is used solely to respond to your enquiry via WhatsApp. It is not passed on to third parties.
Please note that WhatsApp Business gains access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transmits phone numbers stored in the address book to a server of the parent company Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. For the operation of our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device in whose address book only the WhatsApp contact details of users who have also contacted us via WhatsApp are stored.
This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact details are stored in our address book has already consented, upon first use of the app on their device and by accepting the WhatsApp Terms of Service, to the transmission of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. The transmission of data of 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, further processing and use of data by WhatsApp, as well as your related rights and privacy settings, 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 disclosure to third parties.
In the context of the above-mentioned processing, data may be transferred to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. For such transfers, 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 by the European Commission.
5.2 When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), personal data is processed solely for the purpose of handling and responding to your enquiry and only to the extent necessary.
The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted once it is apparent from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved, provided that no statutory retention obligations apply.
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. The data required for account opening can be found in the input form of the corresponding form on our website.
You may delete your customer account at any time by sending a message to the controller's address mentioned above. After deletion of your customer account, your data will be erased, provided all contracts concluded through it have been fully processed, no statutory retention periods apply, and we have no legitimate interest in continuing to store the data.

7.2 Sending the E-mail Newsletter to Existing Customers
If you have provided us with your e-mail address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers by e-mail for similar goods or services to those already purchased from our range.

The data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalised direct marketing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If you have objected to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose from the outset, we will not send any e-mails.
You are entitled to object to the use of your e-mail address for the aforementioned advertising purposes at any time with future effect by notifying the controller named at the beginning.

8.5 Use of Payment Service Providers
Amazon Pay
One or more online payment methods of the following provider are available on this website: Amazon Payments Europe s.c.a., 38 avenue J.F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg.
If you select a payment method from the provider where you pay in advance (e.g. credit card payment), your payment data communicated during the order process (including name, address, bank and payment card information, currency and transaction number) as well as information about the content of your order are transferred to the provider pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your data is transferred in this case exclusively for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this.
Apple Pay
If you choose the "Apple Pay" payment method from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment is processed via the "Apple Pay" function on your iOS, watchOS or macOS device by charging a payment card stored in "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features integrated into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. To authorise a payment, you must enter a code you have previously set and verify via the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your device.
For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the order process along with information about your order is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay to process the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After payment is made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm payment success.
Where personal data is processed in the transmissions described, this is done solely for the purpose of payment processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Apple retains anonymised transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, approximate date and time, and an indication of whether the transaction was completed successfully. Anonymisation completely prevents any identification of a person. Apple uses the anonymised data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.
If you use Apple Pay on an iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made via Safari on a Mac, the Mac and the authorisation device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple's servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that could identify you. You can disable the option to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings under "Wallet & Apple Pay" by deactivating "Allow Payments on Mac".

For the decision in the context of the application review, in addition to provider-internal criteria, identity and creditworthiness information from the following credit agencies may also be included pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR:https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/legal/terms/0/de_de/credit_rating_agencies

Google AdSense
This website uses Google AdSense, a web advertising service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google AdSense is not merged with other Google data. The information collected by Google may be transferred to third parties if this is required by law and/or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
All processing described above, in particular reading information on the device used via cookies and/or web beacons, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Without this consent, Google AdSense will not be used during your visit to the site.

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), which enables analysis of your use of our website.
By default, when you visit the website, Google Analytics 4 sets cookies that are stored as small text fragments on your device and collect certain information. This information includes your IP address, which Google shortens by the last digits to preclude direct identification of a person.
The information is transmitted to Google's servers and further processed there. Transfers to Google LLC servers in the USA are also possible.
Google uses the collected information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for us, and to provide other services related to website use and internet use. The truncated IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. Data collected under Google Analytics 4 is stored for a period of two months and then deleted.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies on the device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the site. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service via the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

Further legal information on Google Analytics 4 can be found at https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/, https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Demographic Features
Google Analytics 4 uses the special "demographic features" function and can use it to generate statistics that make statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This is done by analysing advertising and information from third parties. This enables target groups to be identified for marketing activities. However, the collected data cannot be attributed to any specific person and will be deleted after a storage period of two months.
Google Signals

10.2 Google Tag Manager
This website uses the "Google Tag Manager", a service of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").
The Google Tag Manager provides a technical basis for bundling various web applications, including tracking and analytics services, and calibrating, controlling and applying conditions to them via a unified interface. The Google Tag Manager itself does not store any information on users' devices or read any information from them. Nor does the service carry out independent data analyses. However, Google Tag Manager transmits your IP address to Google when you visit a page, where it may be stored. A transfer to servers of Google LLC in the USA is also possible.
This processing is only carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Without this consent, Google Tag Manager will not be used during your visit to the site. You may 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 that ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

10.3 Hotjar
This website uses the web analytics service of the following provider: Hotjar Ltd, Level 2, St Julians Business Centre, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julians STJ 1000, Malta.
Using cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymised visitor data, including information about the device used such as the IP address and browser information, in order to evaluate it for statistical analysis of user behaviour on our website and to create pseudonymised usage profiles. Among other things, this enables the evaluation of movement patterns (so-called heatmaps) that show the duration of page visits and interactions with page content (e.g. text inputs, scrolling, clicks and mouse-overs). Pseudonymisation fundamentally precludes direct identification of a person. The data is not merged with clear personal data collected in other ways.
All processing described above, in particular reading or storing information on the device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

11) Retargeting / Remarketing and Conversion Tracking
11.1 Meta Pixel
Within our online offering, we use the service "Meta Pixel" of the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta").
When a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook and/or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is extended with a parameter using the "Meta Pixel". This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser via a cookie set by our linked page itself after the redirect.
This enables Meta, on the one hand, to identify visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "ads"). Accordingly, we use the service to show the Facebook and/or Instagram ads placed by us only to users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products, determined on the basis of websites visited) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences").
On the other hand, the "Meta Pixel" can be used to track whether users are redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement and what actions they take there (so-called "conversion tracking").
The data collected is anonymous to us, meaning we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, so a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Meta may use the data for its own advertising purposes.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information on the device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may 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 that ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.
The information generated by Meta is generally transferred to a Meta server and stored there; in this context, a transfer to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA may also occur.
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 by the European Commission.
11.2 Google Ads Remarketing
This website uses retargeting technology of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
For this purpose, Google sets a cookie in your device's browser, which automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID based on the pages you have visited. Further data processing only takes place if you have agreed with Google that your internet and app browsing history is linked to your Google account and information from your Google account is used to personalise the ads you see on the web. If in that case you are logged into Google while visiting our website, Google uses your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, your personal data is temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data to form target groups. In the context of using Google Ads Remarketing, personal data may also be transferred to servers of Google LLC in the USA.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information on the device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Without this consent, retargeting technology will not be used during your visit to the site.
You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
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 by the European Commission.

11.3 Google Ads Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising programme "Google Ads" and, within Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites using advertising media (so-called Google AdWords). We can determine how successful individual advertising measures are in relation to the advertising campaign data. Our aim is to show you advertising that is relevant to you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.
The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a Google Ads advert. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. These cookies generally expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user clicked on the advert and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies therefore cannot be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained via the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their advert and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that could be used to personally identify users. In the context of using Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to servers of Google LLC in the USA.
Details on processing initiated by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and Google's handling of data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information on the device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
You can also permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads Conversion Tracking by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available from Google at the following link: https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155656?hl=en
Please note that certain functions of this website may not be available or may only be available to a limited extent if you have disabled the use of cookies.
Google's privacy policy can be found here: https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/ and https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/
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 by the European Commission.
11.4 Google Marketing Platform
This website uses the online marketing tool Google Marketing Platform operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("GMP").
GMP uses cookies to show users relevant advertisements, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same advertisements multiple times. Using a cookie ID, Google records which advertisements are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. In addition, GMP can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions related to advertisement requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a GMP advertisement and later visits the advertiser's website using the same browser and makes a purchase there. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain any personal information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google's server.
We have no influence over the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you to the best of our knowledge as follows: By integrating GMP, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our adverts. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can link the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will obtain and store your IP address. In the context of using GMP, personal data may also be transferred to servers of Google LLC in the USA.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information on the device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
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 by the European Commission.
The privacy policy of GMP by Google can be found here: https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/ and https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/
11.5 TikTok Pixel
This website uses the conversion tracking technology of the following provider: TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland.
If you have accessed our website via an advertisement on the provider's domain, cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, pings or HTTP requests) may be used to track the success of the advertisement.
For this purpose, the tracking technology reads certain device and browser information, which may include your IP address, in order to record and evaluate user actions predefined by us (e.g. completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website, views of product pages). This enables statistics to be created about user behaviour on our website after being redirected from an advertisement, which we use to optimise our offering.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information on the device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may 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 that ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

When you access a page of our website that contains such graphic elements, your browser establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers in order to load the elements properly. Certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider in this process.
Where personal data is also processed in this context, this is done pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our offering and the attractive presentation of our website.

12.5 Google Maps
This website uses an online map service from the following provider: Google Maps (API) by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").
Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps to present geographic information visually. This service is used to show you our location and to make it easier for you to find us.
When you access those sub-pages of ours in which the Google Maps map is embedded, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google's servers and stored there; in this context, a transfer to servers of Google LLC in the USA may also occur. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them.
The collection, storage and evaluation are carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interest in displaying personalised advertising, conducting market research and/or designing Google websites to meet demand. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and to exercise this right you must contact Google. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of using Google Maps, you also have the option of completely deactivating Google Maps' web service by turning off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and therefore also the map display on this website can then no longer be used.

12.8 ShopSync for Shopify
This website uses the Shopify app "ShopSync" by ShopSync LLC, PO Box 252, Jefferson City, TN 37760, USA.
ShopSync is used to synchronise the newsletter service "Mailchimp" with our Shopify account, so that on the one hand, updates to Mailchimp e-mail lists (e.g. an opt-out by a newsletter recipient) are automatically reflected in Shopify, and on the other hand, new contact data generated via contracts concluded on Shopify is automatically transferred to Mailchimp e-mail lists.
In the first case, data processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective and cross-system maintenance of advertising recipient records and the efficient observance of legally significant status changes.

Data transferred in this way is not stored or retained by ShopSync after synchronisation. All information synchronised between Shopify and Mailchimp is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology, and all transferred information remains encrypted during the synchronisation process.
The synchronisation process requires the transmission of information via a secure connection to servers hosted by Amazon Web Services in the USA.
