1. Logs

When you visit our website, we store certain access data, e.g. browser type and version, operating system used, the previously visited website, access date and time of the server request and the client’s file request (file name and URL). We use this data anonymously for statistical evaluations.

The data processing is absolutely necessary to defend against cyber attacks and to ensure the retrievability and correct display of the website on your terminal device. The legal basis for the data processing is § 25 para. 2 no. 2 of the German Act on the Regulation of Data Protection and the Protection of Privacy in Telecommunications and Telemedia (hereinafter TTDSG).

2. To provide the website 

Cookies, i.e. small text files, can be stored on your computer for the shopping cart function and the execution of the order process. The shop software WooCommerce used on our site sets the following cookies:

  • woocommerce_cart_hash (storage time: session)

Helps WooCommerce detect when the contents of the shopping cart change. This is a session cookie.

  • woocommerce_items_in_cart (storage time: session)

This cookie also helps WooCommerce detect when the contents of the shopping cart change. This is a session cookie.

  • woocommerce_recently_viewed (storage duration: session)

As the name of this cookie suggests, it is responsible for the functioning of the WooCommerce widget that displays the most recently viewed products. This is a session cookie.

  • store_notice[notice id] (storage duration: session)

With WooCommerce, a shop message can be activated. If users hide it, this is saved. Otherwise, this message would be displayed over and over again. This is a session cookie.

  • wp_woocommerce_session_ (storage time: 2 days)

This cookie contains a unique code for each customer so that WooCommerce knows where to find the shopping cart data in the database for each customer. This is a cookie with a retention period of two days.

The data processing by these cookies is absolutely necessary so that you can move around the website without restrictions and use all functions. The legal basis for the data processing is § 25 para. 2 no. 2 TTDSG.

4. Advertising measires

We have a legitimate interest in the use of your data for the purposes of direct advertising within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Insofar as you have consented to this (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR), we also use your data for sending an e-mail newsletter. The newsletter is technically designed so that we can track whether you have opened it. In addition, information on click behaviour is stored and processed. The information obtained is used to make the newsletter even more attractive to you in the future. Your consent also refers to this tracking.

You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter as well as to the newsletter tracking at any time via the link provided for this purpose in every e-mail newsletter or by sending a message to the contact details given above. Furthermore, you can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising purposes with effect for the future in writing, by e-mail or by telephone. For the objection, only the transmission costs according to the base rates are incurred. The lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by this.

The dispatch of the newsletter is carried out by a service provider bound by instructions, who is obliged in accordance with the data protection regulations and is not allowed to use the data for any other purpose.

D. Data processing on our social media company pages 

We operate a so-called “company page” on the following social media platforms in joint responsibility with the respective provider of the platform, on which we inform about news from our company as well as events:

  • “Facebook”: Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.
  • “Instagram”: Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.
  • “Pinterest”: Pinterest Europe Ltd, Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland.

1. General information on company pages, legal basis

When visiting a company page, the respective provider collects information that enables it to recognize users and comprehensively analyze user behavior. Based on the data collected in this way, the operator of the social media platform can also create user profiles. If you are logged in with your corresponding social media account when visiting a company page, the respective provider can also assign this visit to your account.

The respective provider merely provides us with an anonymized statistical evaluation of the use of our company website based on the information obtained. This enables us to make our contributions even more targeted in the future. In this respect, we have a legitimate interest in collecting and processing this information. In addition, we have a legitimate interest in being able to use as many communication options as possible and thus reach as many interested parties personally as possible. The legal basis for the operation of a company page is in this respect Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

We do not ourselves pass on to third parties any personal data that we collect via our company pages. However, we can neither influence nor exclude the possibility that the named providers transmit the collected data to third parties – in particular to their partner companies, which may also be based in countries outside the EU. In many third countries outside the EU, there is currently no level of data protection that corresponds to the EU.

In principle, you can assert your data subject rights (see also under E.3) with regard to data processing by our company pages both against us and against the respective provider. However, we would like to point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the respective provider. This is because only the respective provider has access to the users’ data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly.

For more information on data processing by the respective provider, see:

2. Agreements according to Art. 26 DSGVO

We have concluded an agreement with Facebook pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR in which the data protection obligations arising from the operation of our company website are divided between us and the respective provider. The providers have thereby assumed a large part of the data protection obligations, such as the fulfillment of the data subject rights pursuant to Art. 12-23 GDPR, the obligation to provide suitable technical and organizational measures to protect the security of personal data, and the reporting and notification obligations in the event of a data protection breach. If you contact us regarding your data subject rights, we will immediately forward your request to the respective provider. We are obligated to do so under the agreement with the respective provider.

For more information on the agreement between us and the provider, please see:

E. General Information

In addition to the categories of recipients of personal data already mentioned in this data protection information, address data collected via the shop is passed on to shipping service providers in order to send ordered goods to the recipient. Our hoster WebhostOne can also potentially view personal data collected via the website. The latter is a service provider bound by instructions and may not use the data for other, own purposes.

Storage beyond the statutory retention periods is possible if you have consented to this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or § 25 para. 1 sentence 1 TTDSG or the purpose of the data processing has not yet ceased.

3. Your rights

Under the conditions of Art. 15 to 20 GDPR, you have the right to receive information free of charge about the data we have stored about you, to have incorrect data rectified and to demand erasure, restriction of precessing and portability of your personal data. In some cases, however, we are not allowed to delete user data completely due to legal retention obligations.
