If you contact us via WhatsApp on the occasion of a specific transaction (for example, an order placed), we store and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp as well as – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. GDPR to process and answer your request. On the basis of the same legal ground, 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 inquiry 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 store and use the mobile phone number you use 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 desired information.

Please note that WhatsApp Business receives 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 the 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 exclusively the WhatsApp contact data of those users are stored who have also contacted us via WhatsApp.

This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact details are stored in our address book has already consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp telephone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR when using the app on their device for the first time by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use.

The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in answering your concern in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact aims at a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

8.3 Use of payment service providers (payment services)

If you select a payment method of the provider where you pay in advance (such as credit card payment), your payment data provided during the ordering process (including name, address, bank and payment card information, currency, and transaction number) as well as information about the contents of your order will be passed on to them in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. In this case, your data will be passed on exclusively for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this.
Apple Pay

If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing is carried out via the "Apple Pay" function of your terminal device operated with iOS, watchOS, or macOS by charging a payment card stored in "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security functions integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, it is therefore necessary to enter a code you previously defined and to verify it using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your terminal device.

For the purpose of payment processing, the information provided by you in the context of the ordering process, together with the information about your order, is passed on 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 for the purpose of carrying out the payment. Encryption ensures that only the website via 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 starting website to confirm the success of the payment.

Insofar as personal data is processed in the described transmissions, processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Apple retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymization completely rules out personal reference. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.

When you use Apple Pay on an iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made via Safari on a 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 disable the ability 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 with Apple Pay can be found at the following internet address: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203027
Google Pay

If you choose the payment method "Google Pay" from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), payment processing is carried out via the "Google Pay" application of your mobile device operated with at least Android 4.4 ("KitKat") and equipped with an NFC function by charging a payment card stored in Google Pay or a verified payment system there (e.g., PayPal). To authorize a payment via Google Pay in an amount of more than €25, it is necessary to unlock your mobile device beforehand using the verification measure set up in each case (such as face recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern).

For the purpose of payment processing, the information provided by you in the context of the ordering process, together with the information about your order, is passed on to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a unique transaction number to the starting website, with which a payment made is verified. This transaction number does not contain any information on the real payment data of your payment means stored in Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a uniquely valid numerical token. In all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts merely as an intermediary for processing the payment process. The transaction is carried out exclusively in the relationship between the user and the starting website by charging the payment means stored in Google Pay.

Insofar as personal data is processed in the described transmissions, processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Google reserves the right to collect, store, and evaluate certain process-specific information for every transaction made via Google Pay. This includes the date, time, and amount of the transaction, merchant location and description, a description of the purchased goods or services provided by the merchant, photos you have attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or the sender and recipient, the payment method used, your description of the reason for the transaction and, if applicable, the offer associated with the transaction.

According to Google, this processing is carried out exclusively in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of process data, and the optimization and maintenance of the functionality of the Google Pay service.

Google also reserves the right to merge the processed process data with further information collected and stored by Google during the use of other Google services.

The Google Pay terms of use can be found here:

Data is also transferred to: Shopify Inc., 150 Elgin St, Ottawa, ON K2P 1L4, Canada

With the help of cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading terminal device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including information about the terminal device used such as the IP address and browser information, in order to evaluate them for statistical analysis of usage behavior on our website and to create pseudonymized usage profiles. Among other things, this makes it possible to evaluate movement patterns (so-called heatmaps), which show the duration of page visits as well as interactions with page content (e.g., text entries, scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs). Pseudonymization generally excludes a direct personal reference. Merging with clear data about your person collected in another way does not take place.

Retargeting/ Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

10.1 Meta Pixel with enhanced data matching

Within our online offer, we use the "Meta Pixel" service of the following provider in enhanced data matching mode: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta")

If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook or Instagram, a parameter is added to the URL of our linked page using "Meta Pixel". This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser after redirection by a cookie set by our linked page itself. In addition, this cookie records specific customer data such as the email address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook or Instagram ad during processes such as purchase completions, account logins, or registrations (enhanced data matching). The cookie is then read and enables the transmission of the data including the specific customer data to Meta.

We use "Meta Pixel" with enhanced data matching to design our advertisements (so-called "Ads") on Facebook and/or Instagram more effectively and to ensure that they correspond to the interests of the users or exhibit certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the visited websites) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences").

Furthermore, we analyze the effectiveness of our advertisements by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement (conversion). Compared to the standard version of "Meta Pixel", the enhanced data matching function helps us to better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by recording more assigned conversions.

All transmitted data are stored and processed by Meta so that an assignment to the respective user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Meta's data use guidelines (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data may enable Meta and its partners to place ads on and outside of Facebook.

All processings described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the terminal device used, are only carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your granted 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 an order processing contract with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Meta is usually transmitted to a Meta server and stored there; in this context, a transmission to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA may also occur.

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 by the European Commission.

10.2 Google Ads Remarketing

This website uses retargeting technology from the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

For this purpose, Google sets a cookie in the browser of your terminal device, which automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and on the basis of the pages you have visited. Further data processing only takes place if you have agreed with Google that your internet and app browser history will be linked by Google with your Google account and information from your Google account will be used to personalize ads that you view on the web. In this case, if you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google uses your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, your personal data is temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data in order to form target groups. In the context of using Google Ads Remarketing, a transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA may also occur.

All processings described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the terminal device used, are only carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without this grant of consent, the use of retargeting technology is omitted during your page visit.

Provided you have reached our website from an advertisement on the provider's domain, the success of the advertisement can be traced with the help of cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, pings or HTTP requests).

For this purpose, certain terminal device and browser information, including your IP address if applicable, is read via the tracking technology in order to record and evaluate user actions predefined by us (e.g., completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website, calls of product pages). This enables the creation of statistics about usage behavior on our website after redirection from an advertisement, which serves us to optimize our offer.

All processings described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the terminal device used, are only carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Site Functionalities

11.1 Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts from the following provider for the uniform display of fonts: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

When calling up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly and establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers. In doing so, certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

Data can also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA

The processing of personal data in the course of establishing a connection with the provider of the fonts will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your granted consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service via the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer is used.

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 by the European Commission.

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

11.2 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 can also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA.

For the visual design of the Captcha window, "Google Fonts" – i.e., fonts loaded from the internet by Google – are used by the provider. Processing of information other than that mentioned above, which is already transmitted to Google via the reCAPTCHA functionality, does not occur in this regard.

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 access. To ensure that an action is performed by a human and not by an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the terminal device used, detection 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 here, i.e., small text files that are stored in the browser of the terminal device.

Insofar as the processings described above take place on the basis of cookies, these are only set if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your granted consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

If the processings described above are carried out without the use of cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in determining individual personal responsibility on the internet and avoiding misuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

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 by the European Commission.

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").

If you give your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR, we transmit your email address to Google.

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 email lists of Mailchimp (such as a completed opt-out of a newsletter recipient) are also automatically deposited on Shopify and, on the other hand, new contact data generated via contract conclusions on Shopify are automatically transmitted to the email lists of Mailchimp.

In the former 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 the files of advertising addressees and the efficient observation of legally significant status changes.

Tools and Miscellaneous

Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called "Cookie Consent Tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies that require consent and cookie-based applications.
