8.4WhatsApp Newsletter

If you sign up for our WhatsApp newsletter, we will send you regular updates about our offers via WhatsApp. The only information required to receive the newsletter is your cell phone number.

To subscribe to the newsletter, add the cell phone number we provided to your contacts and send us the message “Start” via WhatsApp. By sending this WhatsApp message, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR for the purpose of sending the newsletter. We will then add you to our newsletter distribution list.

The data we collect when you sign up for the newsletter is processed exclusively for the purpose of sending you promotional communications via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by sending us the message “Stop” via WhatsApp. Once you have unsubscribed, your cell phone number will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data for other purposes that are permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.

Please note that WhatsApp Business will have access to the address book on the mobile device we use for this purpose and will automatically transfer the phone numbers stored in the address book to a server operated by our parent company, Meta Platforms Inc., in the United States.

To send our WhatsApp newsletter, we therefore use a mobile device whose address book contains only the WhatsApp contact information of our newsletter recipients. This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact information is stored in our address book has already consented, upon first use of the app on their device by accepting the WhatsApp Terms of Service, to the transfer of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. The transfer of data from users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.

For information on the purpose and scope of data collection, as well as the further processing and use of data by WhatsApp, and your related rights and privacy settings, please refer to WhatsApp’s Privacy Policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy

We have entered into a data processing agreement with WhatsApp that protects the data of our newsletter subscribers and prohibits its disclosure to third parties.

In this case, your data is transferred exclusively for the purpose of processing the payment with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.
- Apple Pay

If you choose the “Apple Pay” payment method offered by Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment will be processed via the “Apple Pay” feature on your iOS, watchOS, or macOS device by charging a payment card on file with “Apple Pay.” Apple Pay uses security features built into your device’s hardware and software to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must therefore enter a passcode you have previously set and verify the transaction using your device’s “Face ID” or “Touch ID” feature.

For the purpose of processing your payment, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with the details of your order, is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data using a developer-specific key before transmitting it to the payment service provider associated with the payment card stored in Apple Pay to complete the transaction. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment is made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm that the payment was successful.

To the extent that personal data is processed in connection with the transfers described above, such processing is carried out solely for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the 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 eliminates any link to an individual. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve “Apple Pay” and other Apple products and services.

When you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase you made through Safari on your Mac, your 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 be used to identify you personally. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone’s Settings. Go to “Wallet & Apple Pay” and turn off “Allow Payments on Mac.”

- Google Pay

If you choose the “Google Pay” payment method offered by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), payment processing will be handled via the “Google Pay” app on your mobile device—which must be running at least Android 4.4 (“KitKat”) and equipped with NFC functionality—by charging a payment card on file with Google Pay or a payment method verified through Google Pay (e.g., PayPal). To authorize a payment via Google Pay exceeding €25, you must first unlock your mobile device using the verification method set up on your device (such as facial recognition, a password, a fingerprint, or a pattern).

For the purpose of processing payments, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with the details of your order, will be shared with Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay—in the form of a one-time transaction number—to the originating website to verify that the payment has been made. This transaction number does not contain any information regarding the actual payment details of the payment method stored in Google Pay; rather, it is generated and transmitted as a one-time valid numerical token. For all transactions processed via Google Pay, Google acts solely as an intermediary in the payment process. The transaction is carried out exclusively between the user and the originating website by debiting the payment method stored in Google Pay.

Google reserves the right to collect, store, and analyze certain transaction-specific information for every transaction made through Google Pay. This includes the date, time, and amount of the transaction; the merchant’s location and description; a description of the purchased goods or services provided by the merchant; photos you 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 Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, based on the legitimate interest in proper accounting, the verification of transaction data, and the optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

Google also reserves the right to combine the processed transaction data with additional information that is collected and stored by Google when users use other Google services.

To safeguard our legitimate interest in determining our customers’ creditworthiness, we forward this data to the provider in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR for the purpose of a credit check. Based on the personal data you provide, as well as additional data (such as your shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, and payment history), the provider assesses whether the payment method you have selected can be granted in light of the risks of non-payment and/or bad debt.

In addition to the provider’s internal criteria pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, identity and creditworthiness information from the following credit reporting agencies may also be taken into account when making a decision during the application review process:

The calculation of the score values takes into account, among other things, but not exclusively, address data.

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 us to analyze your use of our website.

By default, when you visit the website, Google (Universal) Analytics sets cookies, which are small text files stored on your device and used to collect certain information. This information includes your IP address; however, Google truncates the last few digits of your IP address to prevent direct identification of individuals.

The information is transmitted to Google's servers and processed there. This may also involve transfers to Google LLC, which is headquartered in the United States.

Google uses the information collected on our behalf to analyze your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for us, and provide other services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics and truncated is not combined with other data held by Google. The data collected through the use of Google (Universal) Analytics is stored for a period of two months and then deleted.

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

Using cookies and/or similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including information about the device used—such as the IP address and browser information—in order to evaluate it for statistical analyses of usage behavior on our website and to create pseudonymized usage profiles.Pseudonymization fundamentally precludes direct personal identification.

12) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

12.1Meta Pixel

As part of our online services, we use the "Meta Pixel" service provided by the following company: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta")

If a user clicks on an ad we've placed on Facebook and/or Instagram, "Meta Pixel" is used to add a parameter to the URL of our linked page. After the user is redirected, this URL parameter is then stored in the user's browser via a cookie set by our linked page itself.

This enables Meta, on the one hand, to identify visitors to our online platform as a target audience for displaying ads. Accordingly, we use this service to display the Facebook and/or Instagram ads we place only to users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g., interests in specific topics or products, determined based on the websites they have visited), which 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 ad and what actions they took there (so-called “conversion tracking”).

The data we collect is anonymous to us, meaning it does not allow us to identify individual users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, which means it can be linked to the respective user profile, and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes.

All processing described above—in particular, the setting of cookies to read information from the device you are using—will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect by disabling this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

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

The information generated by Meta is generally transmitted to a Meta server and stored there; in this context, it may also be transmitted to servers operated by Meta Platforms Inc. in the United States.

12.2Google Ads Conversion Tracking

This website uses the online advertising program “Google Ads” and, as part of Google Ads, conversion tracking provided 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 through advertisements (known as Google AdWords). Based on the data from the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful individual advertising measures are. Our goal is to show you advertisements that are of interest to you, to make our website more appealing to you, and to ensure a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a Google Ads ad. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies typically expire after 30 days and are not used to identify individuals. If the user visits certain pages on 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 that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie—which includes your IP address—is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted into conversion tracking. Customers are informed of 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. When using Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the United States.

For details on the processing triggered by Google Ads conversion tracking and on how Google handles data from websites, see here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

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

Please note that certain features of this website may not be available or may be limited if you have disabled cookies.

12.3TikTok Pixel

This website uses conversion tracking technology provided by the following vendor: TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland

If you arrived at our website via an advertisement on the provider’s domain, cookies and/or similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, pings, or HTTP requests) may be used to track the effectiveness of the advertisement.

To this end, tracking technology is used to collect certain device and browser information—including, where applicable, your IP address—in order to record and analyze user actions that we have predefined (e.g., completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website, visits to product pages). This enables us to generate statistics on user behavior on our website following a referral from an advertisement, which we use to optimize our offerings.

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

13) Page Features

13.1Integrating the Instagram Feed via Mintt Studio

On our website, we use the services of Mintt Studio, Rua Parque da República 116, 4430-164 Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, to display preview images from our Instagram profile. This involves the use of cookies—small text files that are stored locally in your web browser’s cache.

When visitors access our website, the widget establishes a connection to servers operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Instagram”). As a result, Instagram receives certain browser information, including your IP address. In some cases, data may also be transferred to servers operated by Meta Platforms Inc., which is headquartered in the United States.

13.2Facebook Plugins

Our website uses plugins from the social network provided by the following company: Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland

These plugins allow for direct interaction with content on the social network.

To enhance the protection of your data when you visit our website, the plugins are initially disabled and integrated into the page using a so-called “2-click” or “Shariff” solution.

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

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 clicking the plugin again to deactivate it. However, revoking your consent does not affect the data that has already been transferred to the provider.

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

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

13.3Instagram Plugins

Our website uses plugins from the social network operated by the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland

These plugins allow for direct interaction with content on the social network.

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

Only when you activate the plugins—and thereby give your consent to the data transfer in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR—will 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 the device you are using (including your IP address), your browser, and your browsing history is transmitted to the provider and may be further processed 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 by clicking on it again. However, the revocation has no effect on data that has already been transferred to the provider.

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

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

13.4Vimeo

This website uses plugins to display and play videos from the following provider: Vimeo.com, Inc., 330 West 34th Street, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10001, USA

When you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers to load the plugin. In the process, certain information—including your IP address—is transmitted to the provider.

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

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

All of the aforementioned processing activities—in particular, the use of cookies to collect information from the device you are using—take place only if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service using the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

Data may also be transferred to: Google LLC, USA

When you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the provider’s servers—at the latest when the video begins playing—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 initiated via the plugin, the provider also uses cookies to collect information about user behavior, generate playback statistics, and prevent abusive behavior.

13.6Login with Amazon

On our website, we provide a single sign-on feature from the following provider: Amazon EU S.a. r.l., 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg

In addition to transferring data to the provider's location mentioned above, data may also be transferred to: Amazon.com Inc., USA

If you have an account with the provider, you can use those account credentials to log in and create a user account or register on our website.

When you visit this page, this login feature may establish a direct connection between your browser and the provider’s servers, even if you do not have an account with the provider or are not logged in to one. This informs the provider that you have visited our site. The information collected in this way (which may include your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to one of the provider’s servers and stored there. However, this information is not used to identify you personally and is not shared with third parties.

These data processing activities are carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in ensuring that our website is user-friendly and interactive.

If you click the "Sign Up" button to register on our website using your account information with the provider, the provider will transmit the general and publicly available information stored in your account (user ID, name, address, email address, age, and gender) to us solely on the basis of your explicit consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

We store and use the data provided by the provider to set up a user account with the necessary information (title, first name, last name, address, country, email address, date of birth), provided that you have shared this information with the provider. Conversely, based on your consent, we may transfer data (e.g., information about your browsing or purchasing behavior) from us to your account with the provider.

You may revoke the consent you have given at any time, effective for the future.

13.7Trusted Shops Trustbadge

Our website incorporates graphic elements from the following provider to display external customer reviews and/or an externally awarded quality seal: Trusted Shops AG, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne, Germany

When you visit a page on 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 the process, certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

To the extent that personal data is processed in this context, such processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our offerings and the appealing design of our website.

If you place an order online with us, additional processing may take place.

If an existing registration is identified or if you register with the provider for its services (in particular, buyer protection), your order information (order total, order number, purchased product) as well as your email address will be transmitted to the provider in accordance with the contractual agreement with the provider pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR and further processed by the provider in order to provide the services (in particular, buyer protection).

13.9Google Maps

This website uses an online map service provided by the following provider: Google Maps (API) by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

Google Maps is a web service that displays interactive (map) views to visually present geographic information. Using this service shows you our location and makes it easier for you to find your way here.

As soon as you visit any of the subpages that include a Google Maps map, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google’s servers and stored there; this may also involve a transfer to the servers of Google LLC in the United States. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want this data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before clicking the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and analyzes them.

The collection, storage, and analysis of data are carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, based on Google’s legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, conducting market research, and/or tailoring Google websites to user needs. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right, you must contact Google. If you do not consent to the future transfer of your data to Google in connection with your use of Google Maps, you also have the option to completely disable the Google Maps web service by disabling JavaScript in your browser. In that case, Google Maps—and thus the map display on this website—will not be available for use.

To the extent required by law, we have obtained your consent to the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right to withdraw consent, please follow the procedure for filing an objection described above.

When you visit a page, your browser loads the necessary web fonts into its cache to display text and fonts correctly and establishes a direct connection to the provider’s servers. In the process, certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

Data may also be transferred to: Google LLC, USA

The processing of personal data in connection with establishing a connection with the font provider will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent to do so in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect by disabling this service via the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website. If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font from your computer will be used.

November 13- Google reCAPTCHA

On this website, we use the CAPTCHA service provided by the following company: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

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

"Google Fonts"—fonts downloaded from the Internet via Google—are used for the visual design of the CAPTCHA window. No information other than that mentioned above, which is already transmitted to Google via the reCAPTCHA functionality, is processed in this context.

The service checks whether an input is made by a human or, in an abusive manner, through machine-based and automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks, and similar automated malicious access attempts. To ensure that an action is performed by a human and not by an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the end device used, identification data regarding the browser and operating system type used, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits this information to the provider’s servers for evaluation. Cookies may be used for this purpose—that is, small text files that are stored in the end device’s browser.

If the processing described above is based on cookies, these will only be set if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect by disabling 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 establishing individual accountability on the Internet and preventing abuse and spam, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

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

12/13Google Customer Reviews (formerly the Google Certified Merchant Program)

We partner 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 provide your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, we will share your email address with Google. You will receive an email from Google Customer Reviews asking you to rate your shopping experience on our website. The review you submit will then be aggregated with our other reviews and displayed in our Google Customer Reviews logo as well as in our Merchant Center dashboard. Your review will also be used for Google Merchant Reviews. As part of the use of Google Customer Reviews, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC in the United States.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by sending a message to the data controller or to Google.

13.13Shopsync for Shopify

This website uses the Shopify app “Shopsync” from ShopSync LLC, PO Box 252, Jefferson City, TN 37760, USA.
ShopSync is used to synchronize the “Mailchimp” newsletter service with our Shopify account so that, on the one hand, updates to Mailchimp’s email lists (such as a newsletter recipient opting out) are automatically recorded in Shopify, and, on the other hand, new contact information generated through sales transactions on Shopify is automatically transferred to Mailchimp’s email lists.

In the former case, data processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective and cross-system maintenance of our databases of advertising recipients and the efficient handling of legally significant status changes.

In the second case, based solely on the user’s explicit consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, after a contract has been concluded on Shopify, the user’s first and last name, address, and email address—along with transaction-related information (purchase amount, time, and date of purchase)—are transferred by ShopSync to Mailchimp for inclusion in the Mailchimp list.

ShopSync does not store or retain data transferred in this manner after synchronization. All information synchronized between Shopify and Mailchimp is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology, and all transmitted information remains encrypted throughout the synchronization process.

The synchronization process requires the transmission of information over a secure connection to servers hosted by Amazon Web Services in the United States.

For more information regarding ShopSync's privacy policy, please visit: https://www.shop-sync.com/privacy-policy

14) Tools and Miscellaneous

14.2Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called “cookie consent tool” to obtain valid user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The “cookie consent tool” is displayed to users when they visit the site in the form of an interactive user interface, where they can grant consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking the appropriate boxes. When the tool is used, all cookies and services requiring consent are loaded only if the user grants the appropriate consent by checking the boxes. This ensures that such cookies are set on the user’s device only if consent has been granted.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this process.

If, in individual cases, the storage, the processing of personal data (such as the IP address) does occur, this is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and, consequently, in the legally compliant design of our website.

Another legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. As the data controller, we are legally obligated to make the use of non-technically necessary cookies contingent upon the user’s consent.

Where necessary, we have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider to ensure the protection of our website visitors' data and to prohibit its unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

For more information about the operator and the settings options for the cookie consent tool, please refer directly to the corresponding user interface on our website.

16) Retention Period for Personal Data

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

When processing personal data based on explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, the data in question will be stored until you revoke your consent.

If there are statutory retention periods for data processed in connection with contractual or quasi-contractual obligations pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, this data is routinely deleted upon expiration of the retention periods, provided that it is no longer necessary for the performance of a contract or for entering into a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in continuing to store it.

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

When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Article 21(2) of the GDPR.

Unless otherwise specified in the other information contained in this statement regarding 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.
