Users and data subjects also have the right, under Article 21 of the GDPR, to object to the future processing of their data, provided that the data is processed by the provider in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, letter f) of the GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct marketing is permissible.
III. Information on data processing
The data processed during your use of our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, provided that no legal retention obligations prevent deletion, and unless otherwise specified for individual processing procedures.

The user can prevent or terminate the installation of cookies by adjusting the settings in their browser.
Cookies
a) Session Cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are stored on your device by the internet browser you use. Through these cookies, certain information about you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address, is processed on an individual basis.
Through this processing, our website becomes more user-friendly, efficient, and secure, as the processing enables, for example, the display of our website in different languages or the provision of a shopping cart function.
The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies process data for the initiation or performance of a contract.
If the processing does not serve the purpose of contract initiation or performance, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
These session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser.
b) Third-party cookies
If applicable, cookies from partner companies, with whom we collaborate for the purposes of advertising, analysis, or functionalities of our website, may also be used in connection with our website.
For details on this, particularly regarding the purposes and legal bases for the processing of such third-party cookies, please refer to the following information.
c) Possibility of removal
You can prevent or limit the installation of cookies by adjusting the settings of your internet browser. You can also delete already stored cookies at any time. The steps and measures required will depend on the specific internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please refer to the help function or documentation of your browser, or contact the browser's manufacturer or support. However, for so-called flash cookies, the processing cannot be stopped via the browser settings. Instead, you will need to change the settings of your flash player. The required steps and measures will also depend on the specific flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please refer to the help function or documentation of your flash player, or contact the manufacturer or user support.
If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, it may result in certain functions of our website not being fully usable.
Contact inquiries / contact option
If you contact us via contact form or email, the data you provide will be used to process your inquiry. Providing the data is necessary for processing and responding to your inquiry – without this information, we may not be able to respond to your request or only be able to do so to a limited extent.
The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Your data will be deleted once your inquiry has been fully answered, unless there are legal retention obligations, such as those arising from a subsequent contract processing.
Customer account / Registration feature
If you create a customer account with us through our website, we will collect and store the data you entered during registration (such as your name, address, or email address) exclusively for pre-contractual services, for contract fulfillment, or for customer care purposes (e.g., to provide you with an overview of your previous orders with us or to offer you the so-called wish list feature). At the same time, we will store your IP address and the date and time of your registration. These data will, of course, not be shared with third parties.
As part of the further registration process, your consent for this processing will be obtained, and you will be referred to this privacy policy. The data collected by us during this process will be used exclusively for the provision of the customer account.
If you consent to this processing, Article 6, paragraph 1, letter a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
If the creation of the customer account also serves pre-contractual measures or contract fulfillment, then Article 6, paragraph 1, letter b) of the GDPR is also the legal basis for this processing.
You can withdraw the consent you have given for the creation and maintenance of the customer account at any time with effect for the future, in accordance with Article 7, paragraph 3 of the GDPR. To do so, you only need to notify us of your withdrawal.
The data collected in this regard will be deleted as soon as the processing is no longer required. However, we must observe tax and commercial law retention periods.

As part of the further registration process, we will obtain your consent for sending the newsletter, specifically describe its content, and refer to this privacy policy. The data collected will be used exclusively for the newsletter distribution and will therefore not be shared with third parties.
The legal basis for this is Article 6, paragraph 1, letter a) of the GDPR.
You can withdraw your consent to the newsletter subscription at any time with effect for the future, in accordance with Article 7, paragraph 3 of the GDPR. To do so, you only need to notify us of your withdrawal or click the unsubscribe link included in every newsletter.

During processing, your IP address, the website(s) of our online presence that you visit, the website from which you accessed our site (referrer URL), the duration of your visit to our website, and the frequency of visits to our website are recorded. The data collected is stored on a server of Automattic in the USA. However, your IP address is anonymized immediately after processing and before it is stored.

In this process, your IP address, the website(s) of our online presence that you visit, the website from which you accessed our site (referrer URL), the duration of your visit to our website, and the frequency of visits to our website are processed.
To collect this data, Matomo stores a cookie on your device through your web browser. This cookie is valid for one week.
If you have given consent for this processing, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. The legal basis may also be Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis and optimization of our website.

Adobe Typekit
External fonts from "Adobe Typekit," a service provided by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited, 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Republic of Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Adobe," are used to display the font design.
When accessing the provider's website, a connection to the Adobe server is established to enable or update the display of the font. In the process, data may be transferred to servers in the USA.
_____________________
Currently, according to data protection authorities, the USA does not have an adequate level of data protection. Therefore, there are so-called standard contractual clauses between the provider and Adobe for the transfer of data to third countries.
https://www.adobe.com/de/privacy/eudatatransfers.html
However, these are private law agreements and therefore do not directly affect the access capabilities of authorities in the USA.
_____________________
The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The legitimate interest of the provider lies in the optimization and economic operation of the website.
Through the connection, Adobe can identify from which website a request is being sent and to which IP address the font display is transmitted.
Further information, particularly regarding the options to prevent data usage, is provided by Adobe at the following links:

Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge / other widgets
To display the Trusted Shops seal of approval and any reviews we may have received through it, as well as to promote the services offered by Trusted Shops after an order, we use the Trusted Shops "Trustbadge."
"Trustbadge" is a product of Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne, for which we, together with Trusted Shops GmbH, are joint controllers for data protection purposes in accordance with Article 26 of the GDPR.
The use serves to uphold our overriding legitimate interests in optimal marketing by enabling a secure shopping experience, in accordance with Article 6(1) sentence 1 letter f of the GDPR.
The Trustbadge is provided as part of a joint responsibility by a US-based CDN (Content Delivery Network) provider. An adequate level of data protection is ensured through standard contractual clauses and other contractual measures. Further information on the data protection practices of Trusted Shops GmbH can be found at the following link: https://www.trustedshops.de/impressum-datenschutz/#datenschutz
When accessing the website, the Trusted Shops web server collects the visitor's IP address, the date and time of the request, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data) to display the requested information. Additionally, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which also contains the IP address, date and time of the request, transferred data amount, and the requesting provider (access data), documenting the request. The IP address is anonymized immediately after collection, ensuring that the stored data cannot be associated with the visitor. The anonymized data is primarily used for statistical purposes and error analysis.
After the order is completed, the email address provided in the order is transmitted to Trusted Shops GmbH. The transmission is done using a cryptographic hash function, ensuring that it is not possible to reconstruct the email address from the generated hash.
The legal basis for the transfer is Article 6(1) sentence 1 letter f of the GDPR. The transmission serves to verify whether the visitor is already registered for services with Trusted Shops GmbH and is therefore necessary for the legitimate interests of the provider and Trusted Shops GmbH in providing buyer protection linked to the specific order and transactional review services.
If you are already registered for services with Trusted Shops GmbH, further processing will be carried out in accordance with the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops GmbH. If the visitor is not yet registered for the services, they will be given the option to register. Further processing after registration will also be governed by the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops GmbH. If the visitor does not register, all transmitted data will be automatically deleted by Trusted Shops GmbH, and personal identification will no longer be possible.
Trusted Shops GmbH uses service providers in the areas of hosting, monitoring, and logging. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR for the purpose of ensuring smooth operation. This may involve processing in third countries (the USA and Israel). An adequate level of data protection is ensured in the case of the USA through standard contractual clauses and other contractual measures, and in the case of Israel, through an adequacy decision.
As part of the joint responsibility between us and Trusted Shops GmbH, you can primarily contact Trusted Shops GmbH for privacy-related inquiries and to exercise your rights, using the contact options provided in the privacy information linked above. Regardless, you can always contact the controller of your choice. The inquiry will then be forwarded to the other controller for a response, if necessary.
