The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.


2) Data collection when you visit our website

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

  • Website visited
  • Date and time of access
  • Amount of data transmitted (in bytes)
  • Source/reference from which you reached the page
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used
  • IP address (if applicable, in anonymized form)

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data is not disclosed or used for any other purpose. However, we reserve the right to review server log files subsequently if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.

2.2 This website uses SSL and/or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g. orders or inquiries to the controller). You can recognize an encrypted connection by the character string “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser line.


3) Hosting & content delivery network

For hosting our website and displaying page content, we use a provider that provides its services itself or through selected subcontractors exclusively on servers within the European Union.

All data collected on our website is processed on these servers.

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.


4) Cookies

To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, i.e. 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”), while others remain on your device for longer and enable the saving of page settings (so-called “persistent cookies”). In the latter case, you can find the storage duration in the overview of the cookie settings of your web browser.

Insofar as personal data is also processed by individual cookies used by us, processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR either for the performance of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in the case of consent having been given, or in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website as well as a customer-friendly and effective design of the website visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually on their acceptance or 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) Contacting us

5.1 Google Calendar

To provide an online appointment booking function, we use the services of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

Data may also be transferred to: Google LLC, USA.

For the purpose of scheduling appointments, first and last name as well as email address (and, if applicable, telephone number if a telephone appointment is requested) are collected in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and, on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in effective customer management and efficient appointment administration, transmitted to the provider and stored there for appointment organization.

After the appointment has taken place or after the agreed appointment period has expired, your data will be deleted by the provider.

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.

For transfers of data 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.

5.2 WhatsApp Business

You have the option of contacting 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 (for example, an order you have placed), we store and use the mobile phone number you use with WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR to process and respond to your request. On the basis of the same legal basis, we may request that you provide further data (order number, customer number, address or email address) in order to assign your inquiry to a specific transaction.

If you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (e.g. about our range of services, availability or our website), we store and use the mobile phone number you use with 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 efficiently and promptly providing the information requested.

Your data will always be used solely to respond to your request via WhatsApp. It will not be 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 telephone numbers stored in the address book to a server of its 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 data of those users are stored 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, upon first use of the app on their device by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use, to the transmission of their WhatsApp telephone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Transmission of data from users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is excluded in this respect.

For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by WhatsApp as well as your rights and setting options to protect 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, which protects the data of our website visitors and prohibits disclosure to third parties.

In the course of the processing described above, data may be transferred to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. 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.

5.3

When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email), personal data will be processed solely for the purpose of processing and responding to 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 pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your contact aims at concluding a contract, an additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and provided that no statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.


6) Use of customer data for direct advertising

6.1 Subscription to our email newsletter

If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will send you regular information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your email address. Providing further data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for sending the newsletter, which ensures that you will only receive the newsletter once you have expressly confirmed your consent to receive it by clicking a verification link sent to the email address provided.

By activating the confirmation link, you grant us your consent for the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. In doing so, we store the IP address entered by your internet service provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace possible misuse of your email address at a later time. The data collected by us when you register for the newsletter will be used strictly for the intended purpose.

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 named at the beginning. After unsubscribing, your email address will be deleted from our newsletter distribution list immediately, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.

6.2 Sending the email newsletter 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 to those already purchased from our range by email. In accordance with Section 7(3) UWG, we do not need to obtain separate consent from you for this. Data processing in this respect is based solely on our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If you 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 named at the beginning. You will only incur transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be stopped immediately.


7) Data processing for order processing

7.1 To the extent necessary for contract processing for delivery and payment purposes, the personal data collected by us will be passed on to the commissioned transport company and the commissioned credit institution in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

If, on the basis of a corresponding contract, we owe you updates for goods with digital elements or for digital products, we process the contact data you provided when placing the order in order to inform you personally within the scope of our statutory information obligations pursuant to Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Your contact data is used strictly for the intended purpose of notifications about updates owed by us and processed by us only to the extent necessary for the respective information.

To process your order, we also work with the service provider(s) listed below, who support us in whole or in part in performing concluded contracts. Certain personal data will be transmitted to these service providers in accordance with the following information.

7.2 Use of payment service providers (payment services)

  • 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 of the provider in which you pay in advance (e.g. credit card payment), your payment data provided as part of 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 will be passed on to the provider in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. In this case, your data is passed on exclusively for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.

  • Apple Pay
    If you choose the payment method “Apple Pay” of Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing takes place via the “Apple Pay” function of your end device operated with iOS, watchOS or macOS by charging a payment card stored with “Apple Pay”. Apple Pay uses security functions integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorize payment, you must therefore enter a code you have previously set and verify it via the “Face ID” or “Touch ID” function of your device.

For the purpose of payment processing, the information provided by you as part of the order process together with information about your order is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts this data again with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay in order to carry out the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase is 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 the success of the payment.

If personal data is processed during the transfers described, processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Apple stores anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. This anonymization completely eliminates any reference to a person. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve “Apple Pay” and other Apple products and services.

When you use Apple Pay on iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase that you made via Safari on Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can identify you. You can disable the option to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to “Wallet & Apple Pay” and disable “Allow Payments on Mac”.

Further information on data protection for Apple Pay can be found at: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027

  • PayPal
    One or more online payment methods of the following provider are available on this website: PayPal (Europe) S.a.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg.

If you select a payment method of the provider in which you pay in advance, your payment data provided as part of 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 will be passed on to the provider in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. In this case, your data is passed on exclusively for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.

If you select a payment method in which we make advance payments, you will also be asked during the ordering process to provide certain personal data (first and last name, street, house number, postal code, city, date of birth, email address, telephone number, if applicable data on an alternative means of payment).

In order to safeguard our legitimate interest in determining your ability to pay in such cases, this data is forwarded by us to the provider for the purpose of a credit check in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Based on the personal data provided by you as well as other data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, payment experience), the provider checks whether the payment option you selected can be granted with regard to payment default and/or bad debt risks.

The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. Address data is included in the calculation of the score values among other things, but not exclusively.

You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to us or to the provider. However, the provider may still be entitled to process your personal data insofar as this is necessary for contractual payment processing.

  • Sofortüberweisung
    One or more online payment methods of the following provider are available on this website: Klarna Bank AB (publ), Sveavägen 46, 11134 Stockholm, Sweden.

If you select a payment method of the provider in which you pay in advance (e.g. credit card payment), your payment data provided as part of 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 will be passed on to the provider in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. In this case, your data is passed on exclusively for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.


8) Web analytics services

8.1 Google (Universal) Analytics

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analytics 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.

Demographic characteristics
Google (Universal) Analytics uses the special function “demographic characteristics” and can use it to create statistics that make statements about the age, gender and interests of website visitors.

However, the collected data cannot be assigned to a specific person and is deleted after being stored for a period of two months.

Google Signals
As an extension of Google (Universal) Analytics, Google Signals may be used on this website to create cross-device reports. If you have activated personalized ads and have linked your devices to your Google account, Google can, subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including for cross-device conversions.

8.2 Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics 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, no cookies are used by Google Analytics 4 when you visit the website unless you expressly consent to cookies. Instead, information about your usage behavior is collected and processed via so-called pings (small data packets sent to the host of an end device). The scope of this information also includes your IP address, which is shortened by Google by the last digits in order to exclude direct personal identification.

The information is transmitted to Google servers and processed further there. This may also involve transfers to Google LLC in the USA.

8.3 Google Tag Manager

This website uses “Google Tag Manager”, a service provided by: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter “Google”).

Google Tag Manager provides a technical basis for bundling various web applications, including tracking and analytics services, and being able to calibrate, control and link them to conditions via a uniform user interface. Google Tag Manager itself does not store information on users’ end devices and does not read such information. Nor does the service carry out independent data analyses. However, when a page is accessed, your IP address is transmitted to Google and may be stored there. 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.

9) Retargeting/remarketing and conversion tracking

Meta Pixel
Within our online offering, we use the service “Meta Pixel” of the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Meta”).

If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook and/or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is extended by a parameter using “Meta Pixel”. This URL parameter is then entered into the user’s browser after redirection via a cookie that our linked page itself sets.

This enables Meta to determine visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “ads”). Accordingly, we use the service to display the Facebook and/or Instagram ads placed by us only to users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Meta (so-called “custom audiences”).

On the other hand, “Meta Pixel” can be used to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement and what actions they performed there (so-called “conversion tracking”).

The data collected is anonymous for us, i.e. it does not allow us to draw conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the end device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future 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 the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

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

For transfers of data 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.


10) Site functionalities

10.1 Facebook plugins

Plugins of the social network of the following provider are used on our website: 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.

To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the plugins are initially deactivated and integrated into the page using a so-called “two-click” or “Shariff” solution.

This integration ensures that when you access a page of our website that contains such plugins, no connection to the provider’s servers is established yet.

Only when you activate the plugins and thus, in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, give your consent to data transmission, does your browser establish a direct connection to the provider’s servers. In doing so, certain information about your device (including your IP address), your browser and your page history is transmitted to the provider, regardless of whether you are logged into an existing user profile, and may be processed further there.

If you are logged into an existing user profile on the provider’s social network, information about interactions carried out via the plugins will also be published there and displayed to your contacts.

You can revoke your consent at any time by deactivating the activated plugin again by clicking on it once more. However, the revocation has no effect on the data that has already been transmitted to the provider.

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

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

For transfers of data 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.

10.2 Google reCAPTCHA

On this website we use the CAPTCHA service of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

Data may also be transferred to: Google LLC, USA.

For the visual design of the captcha window, “Google Fonts”, i.e. fonts loaded by Google from the internet, are used. No further information is processed beyond the data already transferred to Google via the functionality of reCAPTCHA.

The service checks whether an entry is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing and blocks spam, DDoS attacks and similar automated malicious accesses. To ensure that an action is performed by a human and not by an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used as well as the date and duration of the visit and transmits these to the provider’s servers for evaluation. Cookies may be used in this process, i.e. small text files stored in the browser of the end device.

If the processing described above is based on cookies, these are only set if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the “cookie consent tool” provided on the website.

If the processing described above is carried out without the use of cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in determining individual responsibility on the internet and preventing misuse and spam pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

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

For transfers of data 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.

Further information on Google’s data protection provisions can be found here: https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/

10.3 Google Customer Reviews (formerly Google Certified Shops program)

We work with Google as part of the “Google Customer Reviews” program. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). This program gives us the opportunity to obtain customer reviews from users of our website. After making a purchase on our website, you will be asked whether you would like to participate in an email survey from Google.

If you give your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, we transmit your email address to Google. You will receive an email from Google Customer Reviews asking you to rate your purchasing experience on our website. The rating you provide is then aggregated with our other ratings and displayed in our Google Customer Reviews logo and in our Merchant Center dashboard. Your rating is also used for Google Seller Ratings. In the course of using Google Customer Reviews, personal data may also be transferred to servers of Google LLC in the USA.

You can revoke your consent at any time by sending a message to the controller responsible for data processing or to Google.

For transfers of data 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.

Further information on Google’s data protection provisions can be found here: https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/


11) Tools and miscellaneous

Cookie consent tool
This website uses a so-called “cookie consent tool” to obtain effective user consent for cookies requiring consent and cookie-based applications. The “cookie consent tool” is displayed to users when they access the page in the form of an interactive user interface on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by checking boxes. By using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user gives corresponding consent by checking boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user’s device if consent has been given.

The tool sets 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 also Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. As controllers, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

If required, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of the data of our website 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.


12) Rights of the data subject

13) Duration of storage of personal data

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

When processing personal data on the basis of express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, the data concerned is stored until you revoke your consent.

If statutory retention periods exist for data processed within the framework of contractual or quasi-contractual obligations on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, this data is routinely deleted after expiry of the retention periods, provided it is no longer required for contract performance or contract initiation and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in further storage.

When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

When processing personal data for direct marketing purposes on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this statement about specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
