We use the following types of cookies on our Services:

Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are essential because they enable you to use our Services. For example, strictly necessary cookies allow you to access secure areas on our Services.

For example, these cookies can be used to remember your name or preferences on our Services. We do not use functional cookies to target you with online marketing. While these cookies can be disabled, this may result in less functionality during your use of our Services.

If you block all cookies on your browser, neither we nor third parties will transfer cookies to your browser. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some features and services may not work.

6.4 Web Pixels

To see how successfully our marketing campaigns or other goals of the Services are performing we sometimes use conversion pixels, which fire a short line of code to tell us when you have clicked on a particular button or reached a particular page (e.g. a thank you page once you have completed the procedure for subscribing to one of our services or have completed one of our forms). We also use web pixels to analyze usage patterns on our Services. The use of a pixel allows us to record that a particular device, browser, or application has visited a particular webpage.

6.5 Analytics

We may use third-party service providers to monitor and analyze the use of our Services. Presently, we use Google Analytics . Google Analytics is a web analytics service that tracks and reports Site traffic. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

6.6 Behavioral Remarketing [If you use Google Ads, Bing Ads, FB Ads, please keep this paragraph.]

We also use remarketing services to advertise on third-party websites to you after you visited our Services. For this purpose, visitors are grouped by certain actions on our Services, e.g., by duration of a visit. This enables us to understand your preferences and to show you personalized advertising even if you are currently surfing on another website that also participates in the Google advertising network.

We use the following tools and services for these purposes:

Google Ads remarketing service is provided by Google. You can opt-out of this by visiting the Google Ads Settings page: https://www.google.com/settings/ads.

We do not share any of your personal information with Facebook. We may also show ads to audiences that share similar characteristics as you.

We do not have access to the identity of anybody in the “lookalike” audience, unless they choose to click on one of our advertisements.

6.7 Other Tracking Technologies

We may also use Tracking Technologies to collect "clickstream" data, such as the domain name of the service providing you with Internet access, your device type, IP address used to connect your computer to the Internet, your browser type and version, operating system and platform, the average time spent on our Site, webpages viewed, content searched for, access times and other relevant statistics, and assign unique identifiers to the device or other credentials you use to access the Site for the same purposes.

Pages of our Site may also use Java scripts, which are code snippets embedded in various parts of websites and applications that facilitate a variety of operations including accelerating the refresh speed of certain functionality or monitoring usage of various online components; entity tags, which are HTTP code mechanisms that allow portions of websites to be stored or “cached” within your browser to accelerate website performance; and HTML5 local storage, which allows data from websites to be stored or “cached” within your browser to store and retrieve data in HTML5 pages when the website is revisited.

6.8 Do Not Track

Some Internet browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari, include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” or “DNT” signals. Since uniform standards for “DNT" signals have not been adopted, our Site does not currently process or respond to “DNT” signals.

6.9 Location Information

You may be able to adjust the settings of your device so that information about your physical location is not sent to us or third-parties by (a) disabling location services within the device settings; or (b) denying certain websites or mobile applications permission to access location information by changing the relevant preferences and permissions in your mobile device or browser settings

Transfer of data to third parties

7.1 Transfer only where allowed by law

We only forward your data if this is allowed by German or European law. We work particularly closely with certain service providers, for example in the area of customer service (e.g. hotline service providers), with technical service providers (e.g. running computer centers) or with logistics companies (e.g. postal companies such as [Please indicate the name of your partnered logistics company]). These service providers may generally only process your data on our behalf under special conditions. Where we use them to process orders, the service providers only receive access to your data in the scope and for the time period required for provision of the relevant service. If you shop with one of our partners, we forward particular shopping data regarding you to the partner (e.g. your name and your delivery address), so that the partner can send you the goods ordered.

7.2 Technical service providers

We work with technical service providers in order to be able to provide our services. These service providers include, for example, [Please indicate your partnered technical service provider such as SHOPLINE, or if not, please delete this paragraph]. If they process your data outside the European Union, this may mean that your data is transmitted to a country with a lower data protection standard than the European Union. In such cases we will ensure that the relevant service providers contractually or otherwise guarantee an equivalent data protection level.

7.3 Payment service providers and credit agencies

We offer different payment options, such as advance payment, payment by credit card, payment by PayPal and payment on invoice. For this purpose, payment data can be transferred to payment service providers with whom we work with. You can find more details about processing of personal data by payment service providers in their privacy policies:

(A) [Please specify your partnered payment service provider and attach a link to their privacy policy]

The service provider we use for credit checks is [Please specify the name of your partnered credit reporting agency, or if not, please delete this paragraph.] Its privacy policy can be found here [The link to the privacy policy of the credit reporting agency, or if not, please this paragraph will be deleted].

7.4 Logistics companies

(A) We work with external logistics companies (e.g. [Please indicate any partnered logistics service provider and attach a link to its privacy policy] to deliver orders. These logistics companies receive the following data to execute the relevant order:

(B) Your name

(D) Your post number if applicable (if you wish to have the order delivered to a DHL packing station)]

(E) Your email address if applicable (if the logistics company wishes to inform you of the provisional delivery date by email)

7.5 Authorities and other third parties

If we are obliged by an official or court decision or it is for prosecution purposes, we will if necessary, forward your data to prosecution authorities or other third parties.

7.6 Group companies [Please delete if the merchant does not belong to a group of operating companies]

Many systems and technologies are shared within [Please indicate your group name] group. Therefore, companies within [Please indicate your group name] group which require access to your data to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations, or to fulfil their respective functions within [Please indicate your group name] group, receive this access.

Retention and erasure of data

We will store your personal data as long as is necessary for the purposes named in this Privacy Policy, especially for the fulfilment of our contractual and legal obligations. We may also store your personal data for other purposes if or as long as the law allows us store it for particular purposes, including for defense against legal claims.

If you close your customer account, we will delete all the data we have stored regarding you. If it is not possible or necessary to completely delete your data for legal reasons, the relevant data will be blocked for further processing. If data is blocked, technical and organizational measures are used to ensure that only a few employees can access the relevant data, based on need to know and only for select purposes (e.g. in the event of a tax audit).Blocking will occur, for example, in the following cases:

(A) Your order and payment details and perhaps other details are generally subject to various legal retention obligations. The law obliges us to retain this data for tax audits and financial audits for up to ten years. Only then can we finally delete the relevant data.

(B) Even if your data is not subject to any legal retention obligation, we may refrain in the cases allowed by the law from immediate deletion and instead carry out initial blocking. This applies especially in cases where we may need the relevant data for further contractual processing or prosecution or legal defense (e.g. in the event of complaints). The decisive criterion for the duration of the blocking is then the legal limitation periods. After the relevant limitation periods expire, the relevant data will finally be deleted.

Deletion may be waived in the cases allowed by law if the data is anonymous or pseudonymous and deletion would rule out or seriously hinder processing for scientific research or statistical purposes.

How is my personal data protected?

We use technical and organizational measures to secure our systems. With regard to your order and your customer login, we transmit your personal data securely using SSL encryption (Secure Socket Layer).

When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data in the way we have done.
