Otherwise, for the purpose of delivery, we only pass on the recipient's name and delivery address to the provider in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The data is only passed on insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of goods. In this case, prior coordination of the delivery date with the provider or delivery notification is not possible.

Consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future vis-à-vis the controller named above or vis-à-vis the provider.

8.3 Use of payment service providers (payment services)

- Apple Pay

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

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with the 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 to carry out the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website through 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 originating website to confirm the success of the payment.

If personal data is processed during the described transmissions, the processing is carried out 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. Anonymization completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.

If you use Apple Pay on iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase you made through Safari on 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 personally. 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/de-de/HT203027
- Klarna

One or more online payment methods from the following provider are available on this website: Klarna Bank AB, Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden

If you select a payment method from the provider in which you make advance payment (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 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 insofar as this is necessary for this purpose.

If you select a payment method in which the provider makes advance payment (such as purchase on account or by installments or direct debit), 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, and, if applicable, data on an alternative means of payment).

In order to safeguard our legitimate interest in determining the creditworthiness of our customers, this data is forwarded by us to the provider in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purpose of a credit check. Based on the personal data you provide and 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 and/or default risks.

For the decision as part of the application review, in addition to provider-internal criteria in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, identity and creditworthiness information from the following credit agencies may also be included:

https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/legal/terms/0/de_de/credit_rating_agencies

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, among other things but not exclusively, is included in the calculation of the score values.

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 remain entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for contractual payment processing.

In this case, your data is passed on exclusively for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only insofar as this is necessary for this purpose.

In order to safeguard our legitimate interest in determining your creditworthiness in such cases, this data is forwarded by us to the provider in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purpose of a credit check. Based on the personal data you provide and 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 and/or default risks.

9) Web analytics services

9.1 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, cookies are set by Google Analytics 4 when you visit the website; these are stored on your device as small text elements and collect certain information. This information also includes your IP address, which is, however, 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. Transfers to Google LLC based in the USA are also possible.

Google uses the collected information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities for us, and to provide other services related to website use and internet use. The shortened IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. The data collected in the context of using Google Analytics 4 is stored for a period of two months and then deleted.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies on the device used, only takes place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the site. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of withdrawal, please deactivate this service using the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website.

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

Further legal information on Google Analytics 4 can be found at https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/, https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de≷=de and at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Demographic characteristics
Google Analytics 4 uses the special "demographic characteristics" function and can thereby create statistics that make statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This is done by analyzing advertising and information from third-party providers. This allows target groups for marketing activities to be identified. 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 to Google Analytics 4, Google Signals may be used on this website to generate cross-device reports. If you have activated personalized ads and have linked your devices to your Google account, Google may, subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including for cross-device conversions. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you wish to stop cross-device analysis, you can deactivate the "Personalized advertising" function in your Google account settings. To do this, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155764?hl=de
Further information about Google Signals can be found at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de

UserIDs
As an extension to Google Analytics 4, the "UserIDs" function may be used on this website. If you have consented to the use of Google Analytics 4 in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, have set up an account on this website, and log in with this account on different devices, your activities, including conversions, can be analyzed across devices.

9.2 Google Tag Manager

This website uses the "Google Tag Manager", a service of the following provider: 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 for calibrating, controlling, and making them conditional via a uniform user interface. Google Tag Manager itself does not store any information on user devices or read any such information. Nor does the service perform any independent data analyses. However, when a page is called up, Google Tag Manager transmits your IP address to Google, where it may be stored. Transmission 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 to do so in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Without this consent, Google Tag Manager will not be used during your visit to the site. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your withdrawal, please deactivate 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 our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further legal information on Google Tag Manager can be found at https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/ and https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de≷=de

10) Retargeting/remarketing and conversion tracking

10.1 Meta Pixel

Within our online offering, we use the "Meta Pixel" service of the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, 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 expanded by a parameter with the help of "Meta Pixel". After redirection, this URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser by a cookie set by our linked page itself.

On the one hand, this enables Meta to determine the visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "ads"). Accordingly, we use the service in order to display the Facebook and/or Instagram ads placed by us only to those 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, the "Meta Pixel" can be used to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement and what execution actions they perform there (so-called "conversion tracking").

The data collected is anonymous for us, so it does not provide us with any 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 of the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with 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 our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

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

10.2 Google Ads conversion tracking

This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, as part of Google Ads, conversion tracking by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google AdWords). In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. By doing so, we aim to show you advertising that is of interest to you, make our website more interesting for you, and achieve a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ads advertisement placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. As part of the use of Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

Details on the processing triggered by Google Ads conversion tracking and on Google's handling of data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

You can also permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads conversion tracking by downloading and installing the browser plug-in from Google available at the following link:
https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155656?hl=de

Please note that certain functions of this website may not be available or may only be available to a limited extent if you have deactivated the use of cookies.

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 by means of a so-called "2-click" or "Shariff" solution.

This integration ensures that when a page of our website containing such plugins is accessed, no connection to the provider's servers is yet established.

If you are logged into an existing user profile on the provider's social network, information about interactions carried out via the plugins is also 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 does not affect the data that has already been transmitted to the provider.

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

This integration ensures that when a page of our website containing such plugins is accessed, no connection to the provider's servers is yet established.

Only when you activate the plugins and thereby give your consent to the data transfer in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR does your browser establish a direct connection to the provider's servers. In this process, regardless of whether you are logged into an existing user profile, certain information about your device used (including your IP address), your browser, and your page history is transmitted to the provider 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 is also 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 does not affect the data that has already been transmitted to the provider.

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

When you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers no later than the moment the video is played in order to load the content. In the process, certain information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

If playback of embedded videos is started via the plugin, the provider also uses cookies to collect information about user behavior, compile playback statistics, and prevent abusive behavior.

If you are logged into a user account with the provider during your visit to the site, your data will be directly assigned to your account when you click on a video. If you do not want the data to be assigned to your account, you must log out before clicking the play button.

All of the aforementioned processing, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, is only carried out if you have given us your express consent for this in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke the consent given at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service using the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website.

11.4 Trusted Shops Trustbadge

When you access a page of our website that contains such graphic elements, your browser establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers in order to load the elements properly. In this process, certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

If personal data is also processed in this context, this is done in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our offer and the appealing design of our website.

In the event of an online order placed with us, further processing may take place.
