You can recognize an encrypted connection by the string "https://" and the lock symbol in your browser's address bar.

2) Data collection when visiting our website

When using our website for informational purposes only, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called "server log files"). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

  • Our visited website
  • Date and time of access
  • Amount of data sent in bytes
  • Source/reference from which you came to the page

3) Cookies

To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e., after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit (so-called persistent cookies). If cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information to an individual extent, such as browser and location data, as well as IP address values. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can find the duration of the respective cookie storage in the overview of the cookie settings of your web browser.

In some cases, cookies are used to simplify the ordering process by storing settings (e.g., remembering the content of a virtual shopping cart for a later visit to the website). Insofar as individual cookies used by us also process personal data, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR either for the performance of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR in the event of consent given, or in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.

4) Contacting us

4.1 Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g., via contact form or e-mail). Which data is collected in the case of using a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact aims at concluding a contract, an additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your request has been fully processed. This is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been definitively clarified and provided that no statutory retention obligations prevent this.

4.2 WhatsApp Business

We offer visitors to our website the opportunity to contact us via the WhatsApp messaging service of 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 placed), we will store and use your mobile phone number used on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for processing and answering your request. Based on the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide further data (order number, customer number, address or email address) in order to be able to 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 store and use your mobile phone number used on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. 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 answer your inquiry via WhatsApp. No disclosure to third parties will take place.

Please note that WhatsApp Business gains access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transfers 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 whose address book only stores the WhatsApp contact data of users who have also contacted us via WhatsApp.

This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact data is stored in our address book has already consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR when first using the app on their device by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use. The transmission of data of users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is thus 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 related rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy

5) Data processing when opening a customer account and for contract execution

In accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, personal data will also be collected and processed if you provide it to us for the purpose of executing a contract or when opening a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. Your customer account can be deleted at any time and can be done by sending a message to the above-mentioned address of the controller. We store and use the data you provide for contract processing. After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked with regard to tax and commercial law retention periods and deleted after these periods have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or a legally permitted further data use by us has been reserved.

6) Use of customer data for direct marketing

6.1 Newsletter subscription

If you subscribe to our e-mail newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. Providing further data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. For sending the newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that we will only send you an e-mail newsletter if you have expressly confirmed to us that you consent to receiving newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation e-mail asking you to confirm by clicking on a corresponding link that you wish to receive the newsletter in the future.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. When subscribing to the newsletter, we store your IP address entered by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace any possible misuse of your e-mail address at a later date. The data collected by us when subscribing to the newsletter will be used exclusively for the purpose of advertising through the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the controller mentioned at the beginning. After unsubscribing, your e-mail address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to further data use that is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this declaration.

6.2 Sending e-mail newsletters to existing customers

If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services from our range as those already purchased, via email. For this purpose, according to § 7 para. 3 UWG, we do not need to obtain separate consent from you. Data processing in this respect is based solely on our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you have initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send you any emails. You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the controller mentioned at the beginning. For this, you will only incur transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. After receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be stopped immediately.

6.3 Newsletter dispatch via Klaviyo

Our e-mail newsletters are sent via the technical service provider "Klaviyo", 225 Franklin St, Boston, MA 02110, USA (http://www.klaviyo.com/), to whom we forward the data you provided during newsletter registration. This forwarding takes place in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR and serves our legitimate interest in using an effective, secure, and user-friendly newsletter system. Please note that your data is usually transferred to a Klaviyo server in the USA and stored there.

Klaviyo uses this information to send the newsletters on our behalf. Klaviyo does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to contact them themselves or to pass them on to third parties.
To protect your data in the USA, we have concluded a data processing agreement with Klaviyo, in which Klaviyo undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process it on our behalf in accordance with its data protection regulations and, in particular, not to pass it on to third parties.

You can view Klaviyo's privacy policy here: https://www.klaviyo.com/privacy

6.4 WhatsApp Newsletter

If you subscribe to our WhatsApp newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers via WhatsApp. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your mobile phone number.

To receive the newsletter, you add our provided mobile phone number to the contacts in your mobile device and send us the message "Start" via WhatsApp. By sending this WhatsApp message, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR for the purpose of sending newsletters. We will then add you to our newsletter distribution list.

The data collected by us during registration for the newsletter will be processed exclusively for the purpose of advertising through the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by sending us the message "Stop" via WhatsApp. After unsubscribing, your mobile phone number will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to further data use that is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this declaration.

Please note that WhatsApp gains access to the address book of the mobile device we use for sending newsletters and automatically transfers phone numbers stored in the address book to a Facebook server in the USA.

For sending our WhatsApp newsletter, we therefore use a mobile device whose address book only stores the WhatsApp contact data of our newsletter recipients. This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact data is stored in our address book has already consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR when first using the app on their device by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use. The transmission of data of users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is thus excluded.

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 for the purpose of carrying out the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment has been made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm successful payment.
If personal data is processed during the described transmissions, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.
Apple stores anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymization completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.
If you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made via Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple's servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can identify you. You can deactivate the option to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and deactivate "Allow Payments on Mac".

9) Online Marketing

9.1 Facebook Pixel for creating Custom Audiences with extended data matching (without cookie consent tool)
Within our online offering, the "Facebook Pixel" of the social network Facebook is used in extended data matching mode. It is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").
Based on explicit consent, when a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us and shown on Facebook, an addendum is appended to the URL of our linked page by the Facebook Pixel. This URL parameter is then written into the user's browser via a cookie after redirection, which our linked page sets itself. In addition, this cookie collects specific customer data, such as the email address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook ad during processes like purchases, account logins, or registrations (extended data matching). The cookie is then read by the Facebook Pixel, enabling the data, including specific customer data, to be forwarded to Facebook.
With the help of the Facebook Pixel with extended data matching, Facebook can accurately identify the visitors of our online offering as a target group for displaying advertisements (so-called "Facebook Ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook Pixel with extended data matching to display the Facebook Ads placed by us only to Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products, determined based on the websites visited) which we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the Facebook Pixel with extended data matching, we also want to ensure that our Facebook Ads correspond to the potential interests of the users and do not appear annoying. We can also evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by understanding whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion"). Compared to the standard version of Facebook Pixel, the extended data matching feature helps us better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by capturing more attributed conversions.
All transmitted data is stored and processed by Facebook, so a connection to the respective user profile is possible, and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook's Data Use Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data may enable Facebook and its partners to display advertisements on and off Facebook.
These processing operations are carried out exclusively with your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Consent to the use of the Facebook Pixel may only be given by users who are older than 16 years. If you are younger, please ask your legal guardians for permission.
The information generated by Facebook is usually transferred to a Facebook server and stored there; this may also include a transfer to the servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. You can revoke your consent at any time by deactivating Facebook Pixel tracking. To do this, you can set an opt-out cookie by clicking on the link below, which deactivates Facebook Pixel tracking:
Disable Facebook Pixel
This opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain. If you delete your cookies in this browser, you must click the above link again.

9.2 Google Ads Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "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 materials (so-called Google Adwords). In relation to the advertising campaign data, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. Our aim is to show you advertisements that are of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to achieve a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.
The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies usually 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 recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across Google Ads customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users.
When using Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
Details on the 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 the 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 explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can also permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads Conversion Tracking by downloading and installing the Google browser plug-in available at the following link:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de
To address users whose data we have received in the context of business or similar relationships with even more interest-based advertising, we use a customer matching function within Google Ads. For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (primarily email addresses and phone numbers) electronically to Google. Google does not gain access to clear data; instead, it automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to match it with existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This enables personalized advertising to be displayed across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.
The transmission of customer data to Google only takes place if you have given us explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. Further information on Google's data protection measures regarding the customer matching function can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=de&ref_topic=10550182

This allows the definition and differentiation of user groups of the website for the purpose of target group-optimized marketing measures.

If you have reached our website from an advertisement on Snapchat, we will place a cookie on your computer that interacts with a JavaScript code from Snapchat, which is also implemented. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device.
If the user is redirected from an advertisement on Snapchat to pages on this website, the pixel records certain user actions defined by us and can track them (e.g. completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website, views of product pages).

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without this consent, the Snapchat Pixel will not be used during your visit to the site.
You can withdraw your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of withdrawal, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

TikTok Pixel
This website uses the "TikTok Pixel", a tracking technology of the social network "TikTok" from TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland ("TikTok").
Using cookies (small text files that are stored on the end device used), information about surfing behavior on our website is collected in pseudonymized form, transmitted to TikTok, stored and evaluated there, in order to then enable the display of interest-based and personalized product recommendations on TikTok. The information collected and pseudonymously processed generally includes the device ID, device type, timestamp, the operating system used and the IP address. The information can be assigned to the user with the help of further information that TikTok has stored about the user, e.g. due to the ownership of an account on the social network "TikTok". TikTok can also link the information collected via the pixel with further information that TikTok has collected via other websites and/or in connection with the use of the social network "TikTok", and thus create pseudonymized usage profiles. In no case can the collected information be used to personally identify visitors to this website.
The TikTok Pixel also enables us to track the effectiveness of advertisements on TikTok. If the user is redirected from an advertisement on TikTok to pages on this website and the cookies have not yet expired, the pixel records certain user actions defined by us and can track them (e.g. completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website, views of product pages). When such an action is performed, your browser sends an HTTP request (request) from the cookie via the TikTok Pixel to the TikTok server, which transmits certain information about the action. This transmission allows TikTok to create statistics about user behavior on our website after being redirected from a TikTok advertisement, which helps us optimize our offering.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without this consent, the TikTok Pixel will not be used during your visit to the site.
You can withdraw your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of withdrawal, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website. We have concluded a data processing agreement with TikTok for the use of the TikTok Pixel, which obliges TikTok to protect the data of our site visitors and not to pass them on to third parties. TikTok generally transmits collected information outside the European Economic Area and relies on so-called standard data protection clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection.

13.2 GDPR Compliance Pro
To obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications requiring consent, this website uses the "GDPR Compliance Pro" cookie consent tool from Teapot Creative, Bowdens Farm, The Courtyard TA10 0BP, United Kingdom.
By integrating a corresponding JavaScript code, users are shown a banner when they access the page, in which they can give their consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking a box. The tool blocks the setting of all cookies requiring consent until the respective user has given their consent by checking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's end device if consent has been given.
To enable the cookie consent tool to uniquely assign page views to individual users and to individually record, log, and store the user's consent settings for a session duration, certain user information (including the IP address) is collected by the cookie consent tool when our website is accessed, transmitted to Teapot Creative's servers, and stored there.
These data processing operations are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. 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 the described data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As controllers, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically non-essential cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.

This website uses the Shopify app "Shopsync" from ShopSync LLC, PO Box 252, Jefferson City, TN 37760, USA.
With the help of ShopSync, the newsletter service "Mailchimp" is synchronized with our Shopify account in such a way that, on the one hand, updates in Mailchimp email lists (e.g., an opt-out by a newsletter recipient) are automatically stored on Shopify, and on the other hand, new contact data generated through contracts on Shopify are automatically transferred to Mailchimp's email lists.

In the first case, data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. 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 relevant status changes.

Data transferred in this way is not stored or retained by ShopSync after synchronization. All information synchronized between Shopify and Mailchimp is transmitted via SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology, and all transmitted information remains encrypted during the synchronization process.
