Fraud prevention
The fraud prevention tool “minFraud” from the provider MaxMind, Inc. (51 Pleasant Street #1020 Malden, MA 02148, USA; hereinafter: “MaxMind”) is integrated into “Shopify Plus” via a programming interface (API - Application Programming Interface) in our shop system. For the purpose of fraud prevention, “minFraud” processes first and last name, IP address, email address, telephone number, payment details, billing address, delivery address, end device information such as location and time, and information about the hosting provider. The “minFraud” service is a data return service that helps companies prevent online fraud by providing risk assessments and risk data for online transactions. The above-mentioned data collected when ordering is forwarded to the “minFraud” service for analysis, which then transmits the data back with a risk assessment. Based on reputation information based on a customer network (the "minFraud" network) and billions of transactions, a scoring value is created that indicates how high the probability of fraud is in the transaction being checked. The legal basis for this downstream data processing is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f) UK GDPR. Our legitimate interests lie in the prevention of attempted fraud. Using "minFraud" we can check digital transactions in advance when making purchases in the web shop and thus prevent fraud. This enables us to avert financial damage to our company and help prevent criminal offenses.

integration of third-party content
The website includes third-party content from other websites. This integration always requires that the providers of this content ("third-party providers") perceive the IP addresses of the users. Without the IP address, they cannot send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We will inform you below about the services of external providers currently used on our website, as well as about the respective processing in individual cases and about your existing objection or revocation options:
Google Tag Manager
We use the “Google Tag Manager” from “Google” (Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland and Google, LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter: “Google” and “Google Tag Manager”) on our website. “Google Tag Manager” is a solution that allows website tags and other third-party elements to be managed via one interface.
On the one hand, when you access the website with Google Tag Manager, an http request is sent to "Google". This transmits end device information and personal data such as your IP address and information about your browser settings to Google. We use the "Google Tag Manager" for the purpose of facilitating electronic communication by passing information on to third parties via programming interfaces, among other things. The respective tracking codes of the third-party providers are implemented in the "Google Tag Manager" without us having to laboriously change the source code of the website ourselves. Instead, the integration is done using a container that places a so-called "placeholder" code in the source code. In addition, the "Google Tag Manager" allows users' data parameters to be exchanged in a specific order, in particular by ordering and systematizing the data packets. Your data will also be transmitted to the USA in isolated cases. The USA guarantees an adequate level of protection for personal data in accordance with the European Commission Decision of July 10, 2023 and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework for personal data transfers between the UK and the USA. However, in the event of improper processing of your data by Google Tag Manager, you are guaranteed all legal remedies, including free, independent dispute resolution through arbitration.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f) of UK GDPR. Our legitimate interests in the processing lie in facilitating and carrying out electronic communication by identifying communication endpoints, control options, exchanging data elements in a specified order, and by identifying transmission errors. The "Google Tag Manager" does not initiate any data storage. Further information on data protection at "Google" can be found at: Privacy Policy – Privacy & Terms – Google.
You can object to the processing if it is based on Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f) of UK GDPR. You have the right to object for reasons arising from your particular situation. You can send us your objection using the contact details provided in the "Responsible Person" section.
You can prevent processing by deleting the history and website data in the settings of your browser software or by opening the browser you are using in “private mode”.
On the other hand, the “Google Tag Manager” integrates third-party tags such as tracking codes or tracking pixels on our website. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn collect your data; we will explain this to you separately in this data protection declaration. The “Google Tag Manager” itself does not evaluate the end device information and personal data of users collected by the tags. Rather, your data is forwarded to the respective third-party service for the purposes stated in our consent management tool. We have coordinated the “Google Tag Manager” with our consent management tool in such a way that the triggering of certain third-party services in the “Google Tag Manager” is made dependent on your selection in our consent management tool, so that only those third-party tags for which you have given consent trigger data processing. The use of the “Google Tag Manager” is covered by the consent for the respective third-party service. The legal basis for the processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter a) of UK GDPR. “Google” also processes some of the data in the USA. The USA ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data in accordance with the European Commission Decision of July 10, 2023 and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework for personal data transfers between the UK and the USA. However, in the event of improper processing of your data by Google, you are guaranteed all legal remedies, including free, independent dispute resolution through arbitration.
You can find out how long your data will be stored in the following descriptions of the individual third-party services. You can find more information about data protection at “Google” at: Privacy Policy – Privacy & Terms – Google.
You can revoke your consent to the processing at any time by moving the slider in the "Cookie Settings" of the consent tool for the respective third-party provider. The legality of the processing remains unaffected until the revocation is exercised.

Shopify
We also use tools from “Shopify” (Shopify International Ltd. Attn: Data Protection Officer c/o Intertrust Ireland, 2nd Floor 1-2 Victoria Buildings, Haddington Road, Dublin 4, D04 XN32. Ireland and Shopify Inc. ATTN: Chief Privacy Officer, 151 O'Connor Street, Ground floor, Ottawa, ON K2P 2L8, Canada), which use so-called “cookies” or other tracking technologies that are stored on your device. With the help of cookies, “Shopify” processes the information generated about the use of our website by your device - e.g. that you have accessed a certain website - and processes, among other things, the data mentioned in the “Use of our website” section, in particular your IP address, browser information, the previously visited website and the date and time of the server request, for the purposes of statistical analysis of the website and product recommendations, use for troubleshooting and to improve our shop. For this purpose, it can also be determined whether different devices belong to you or your household. "Shopify" will process this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities for us and - if we indicate this separately - to provide us with other services related to website usage. The legal basis for the processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a) of UK GDPR. "Shopify" also processes your data in Canada and - depending on the service provider used - also in the USA. The legal basis for the transfer to Canada is the adequacy decision of the EU Commission.

Google Analytics 4
In order to be able to tailor our website optimally to user interests, we use “Google Analytics”, a web analysis service from “Google” (Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland and Google, LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter: “Google” and “Google Analytics 4”). “Google Analytics 4” uses so-called “cookies”, which are stored on your device for recognition, as well as similar tracking methods for recognizing devices such as tracking pixels, device fingerprinting and programming interfaces (e.g. APIs and SDKs) to process information from your device. For this purpose, your device is assigned a randomly generated identification number (cookie ID/device ID).
Using these technologies, "Google" processes the information generated about the use of our website by your device as well as access data for the purpose of statistical analysis - e.g. access to a specific web page, number of unique visitors, entry and exit pages, length of stay, click, swipe and scroll behavior, button activation, newsletter registration, bounce rate and similar user interactions. For this purpose, it can also be determined whether different devices belong to you or to your household. The access data includes in particular the IP address, browser and device information, cookie ID/device ID, the previously visited website and the date and time of the server request.
No individual IP addresses are logged or stored in “Google Analytics 4” systems. At the moment the IP address is recorded by Google in special local data centers in the EU, your IP address is used to determine location information. The IP address is then deleted before the access data is stored in a data center or on a server for “Google Analytics”. “Google Analytics 4” does not provide precise data on the geographical location, but only general location information such as the region and city of the location of the end device, which is derived from the IP address. “Google” will process this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for us and – if we specifically indicate this – to provide us with other services related to website usage. If you are registered with a Google service, “Google” can assign the website visit to your user account and create and evaluate user profiles across applications.
In addition, a cross-platform analysis of usage behaviour is carried out on websites and apps that use "Google Analytics 4" technologies. This allows usage behaviour to be recorded, measured and compared in different environments. For example, the user's scrolling events are automatically recorded to enable a better understanding of the use of websites and apps. Different cookie IDs/device IDs are used for different devices for this purpose. We are then provided with anonymized statistics on the use of the different platforms, created according to selected criteria.
With the help of “Google Analytics 4”, target groups are automatically created for specific cookie IDs/device IDs or mobile advertising IDs, which are later used for individualized advertising. The following can be considered as target group criteria: users who have viewed products but have not added them to a shopping cart, or who have added them to a shopping cart but have not completed the purchase, OR users who have purchased certain items. A target group comprises at least 100 users. The “Google Ads” tool can then be used to display interest-based advertisements in search results. Likewise, website users can be recognized on other websites within the “Google” advertising network (in Google Search, on “YouTube”, so-called “Google Ads” or on other websites) and presented with advertisements tailored to their needs based on the defined target group criteria.
With regard to the storage of and access to information on your device, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) UK GDPR. "Google" also processes some of the data in the USA. The USA guarantees an adequate level of protection for personal data in accordance with the European Commission Decision of July 10, 2023 and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework for personal data transfers between the UK and the USA. However, in the event of improper processing of your data by Google, you are guaranteed all legal remedies, including free, independent dispute resolution by arbitration.
Your data in connection with "Google Analytics 4" will be deleted after 26 months at the latest. Further information on data protection at "Google" can be found at: Shopify Privacy Policy - Shopify UK.
You can revoke your consent to processing at any time by moving the slider in the "Cookie Settings" of the consent tool. The legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation is not affected by the revocation.
Google Ads Remarketing
We use the “Google Ads” tool with the “Dynamic Remarketing” function from “Google” (Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland and Google, LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter: “Google” and “Google Ads”). With the “Dynamic Remarketing” function, we can recognize users of our website on other websites within the “Google” advertising network (in “Google” search or on “YouTube”, so-called “Google Ads” or on other websites) and present advertisements tailored to their interests. The advertisements may also relate to products and services that you have already viewed on our website. For this purpose, the interaction of users on our website is analyzed, e.g. which offers the user was interested in, in order to be able to show users targeted advertising on other sites even after they have visited our website. If you visit our website, “Google Ads” will store a cookie on your device. Using cookies, “Google” processes the information generated by your device about your use of our website and interactions with our website, as well as the data mentioned in the “Use of our website” section, in particular your IP address, browser information, the website you previously visited, and the date and time of the server request, for the purpose of displaying personalized advertisements. For this purpose, it can also be determined whether different devices belong to you or your household. If users are registered with a “Google” service, “Google” can assign the visit to the user account and create and evaluate user profiles across applications. The legal basis for further processing is Art. 6 (1) S. 1 lit. a) UK GDPR. “Google” also processes some of the data in the USA. The United States ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data in accordance with the European Commission Decision of July 10, 2023 and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework for personal data transfers between the UK and the United States. However, in the event of improper processing of your data by Google, you are guaranteed all legal remedies, including free, independent dispute resolution through arbitration.
The storage period at “Google” is a maximum of 3 months. Further information on data protection and the storage period at “Google” can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy .
You can revoke your consent to the processing at any time by moving the slider in the "Cookie Settings" of the consent tool. The legality of the processing remains unaffected until the revocation is exercised.
Google Ads Conversion
We use the “Google Ads” service from “Google” (Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland and Google, LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter: “Google” and “Google Ads”) to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites using advertising materials (formerly so-called “Google AdWords”). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data from the advertising campaigns. These advertising materials are delivered by “Google” via so-called “ad servers”. For this purpose, we use “ad server” cookies, which can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring reach, such as the display of ads or clicks by users. If you access our website via a “Google” ad, “Google Ads” will store a cookie on your device. Using cookies, “Google” processes the information generated by your device about interactions with our advertising materials (calling up a specific website or clicking on an advertising material), the data mentioned in the “Use of our website” section, in particular your IP address, browser information, the previously visited website and the date and time of the server request, for the purpose of analyzing and visualizing the reach measurement of our advertisements. For this purpose, it can also be determined whether different devices belong to you or to your household. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the “Google” server. If you are registered with a “Google” service, “Google” can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with “Google” or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and process your IP address. We only receive statistical evaluations from “Google” to measure the success of our advertising materials. The legal basis for further processing is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a) of UK GDPR. "Google" also processes some of the data in the USA. The USA ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data in accordance with the European Commission Decision of July 10, 2023 and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework for personal data transfers between the UK and the USA. However, in the event of improper processing of your data by Google, you are guaranteed all legal remedies, including free, independent dispute resolution by arbitration.
The storage period at “Google” is a maximum of 3 months. Further information on data protection and the storage period at “Google” can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy .

You can revoke your consent to the processing at any time by moving the slider in the "Cookie Settings" of the consent tool. The legality of the processing remains unaffected until the revocation is exercised.
TikTok Pixel
This website uses the TikTok Pixel, a conversion tracking tool for advertisers. The service provider is the advertising company TikTok. The company "TikTok Technology Limited" (10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380 in Ireland) is responsible for use in Europe.
TikTok processes your data in the USA, among other places. This can involve various risks for the legality and security of data processing.
TikTok uses so-called standard contractual clauses ( Art. 46. Para. 2 and 3 UK GDPR) as the basis for data processing for recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. in particular in the USA) or for data transfer there. Standard contractual clauses (SCC) are templates provided by the EU Commission to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even if it is transferred to and stored in third countries (such as the USA) and require the addition of the UK Addendum for transfers from the UK.

Facebook Analytics
We use the “Facebook Analytics” tool from “Facebook” (provider is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland, and Meta Platforms Inc. 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park, California, USA; hereinafter: “Facebook” and “Facebook Analytics”). To use “Facebook Analytics” we use the so-called “Facebook pixel” to analyze the use of our website and internet presence, e.g. in social networks such as “Facebook” and “Instagram”, the interactions made by users on our website and internet presence, and to measure the reach of our advertisements. With the help of the “Facebook pixel” – small graphics that are integrated into our website, are automatically loaded when our website is accessed and enable user behavior to be tracked – your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the “Facebook” server. By integrating the “Facebook pixel”, “Facebook” processes information generated by cookies about the use of our website by your device – e.g. that you have accessed a certain web page – and processes, among other things, the data specified in the “Use of our website” section, in particular your IP address, browser information, the previously visited website, the “Facebook ID” and the date and time of the server request, for the purposes of analyzing our website and internet presence, analyzing user interactions and measuring the reach of our advertisements. For these purposes, it can also be determined whether different devices belong to you or to your household. The information obtained using the “Facebook pixel” is used solely for statistical purposes, is transmitted to us anonymously by “Facebook” as statistics and does not provide any information about the person of the user. If you are registered with a “Facebook” service, “Facebook” can assign the information collected to your account. Even if a user is not registered with “Facebook” or is not logged in, there is a possibility that “Facebook” will find out and process the IP address and other identification features. For further processing, the legal basis is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a) of UK GDPR. “Facebook” also processes some of the data in the USA. The USA guarantees an adequate level of protection for personal data in accordance with the European Commission Decision of July 10, 2023 and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework for personal data transfers between the UK and the USA. However, in the event of improper processing of your data by Facebook, you are guaranteed all legal remedies, including free, independent dispute resolution by the arbitration tribunal.
The storage period for information in Facebook cookies is 90 days. Further information on data protection and the storage period at “Facebook” can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation and https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/ .
You can revoke your consent to processing at any time by moving the slider in the "Cookie Settings" of the consent tool. The legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation is not affected by the revocation.
Facebook Custom Audiences
The website also uses the “Website Custom Audiences” function from “Facebook” (provider is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland, and Meta Platforms Inc. 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park, California, USA; hereinafter: “Facebook”). So-called web beacons, such as the “Facebook pixel”, are used to collect information about your usage behaviour on our website, which is then processed by “Facebook”. This enables website users and users of “Facebook” who belong to a similar target group to be shown interest-based advertisements (“Facebook ads”) when they visit the social network “Facebook”. Using the “Facebook pixel” (small graphics that are also integrated into our website and that are automatically loaded when you visit our website and enable user behaviour to be tracked), your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the “Facebook” server. By integrating the “Facebook pixel”, “Facebook” processes the information generated with the help of cookies about the use of our website by your device – e.g. that you have accessed a certain web page – and processes, among other things, the data mentioned in the “Use of our website” section, in particular your IP address, browser information, the previously visited website, the “Facebook ID” and the date and time of the server request, for the purpose of displaying personalized advertisements. For this purpose, it can also be determined whether different devices belong to you or to your household. If you are registered with a “Facebook” service, “Facebook” can assign the collected information to your account. Even if you are not registered with “Facebook” or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out about and process your IP address and other identification features. The legal basis for further processing is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a) of UK GDPR. "Facebook" also processes some of the data in the USA. The USA ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data in accordance with the European Commission Decision of July 10, 2023 and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework for personal data transfers between the UK and the USA.

Microsoft Ads (formerly Bing Ads)
We use the tracking functions of “Bing Ads” from Microsoft Corporation (One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA; hereinafter: “Microsoft” and “Microsoft Ads”) on our website. “Microsoft” stores a cookie on the user’s device in order to measure the reach of our advertisements and to enable the assignment of the success of an advertising medium. The online advertising service “Microsoft Ads” uses technologies such as “cookies”, “tracking pixels” and “device fingerprinting” to display advertisements that are relevant to users and to improve reports on the effectiveness of campaigns. Information that is stored on users’ devices is also processed. With the help of “Microsoft Ads”, users can be shown interest-based advertisements in relation to search results in “Bing” and “Yahoo” search engines. The advertisements can also relate to products and services that users have already viewed on our website. For this purpose, the interaction of users on our website is analyzed beforehand, e.g. which offers users are interested in, in order to be able to show users targeted advertising on other sites even after they have visited our website. When users visit our website, “Microsoft Ads” stores a “cookie” on the user’s device. With the help of “cookies” and “tracking pixels”, “Microsoft” processes the information generated by users’ devices about the use of our website and interactions with our website as well as access data, in particular the IP address, browser information, the previously visited website and the date and time of the server request, across all devices for the purpose of displaying and analyzing personalized advertisements. For this purpose, it can also be determined whether different devices belong to you or to your household. In addition, the online advertising service “Microsoft Ads” makes it possible to measure the reach of our advertisements and to assign the success of an advertising medium. For this purpose, "ad server cookies" are used, through which certain parameters for measuring reach, such as the display of ads, duration of viewing or clicks by users, can be measured. The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) UK GDPR. The storage period is twelve months. "Microsoft" also processes some of the data in the USA. The USA guarantees an adequate level of protection for personal data in accordance with the European Commission Decision of July 10, 2023 and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework for personal data transfers between the UK and the USA.

With the help of the "pixels" - small graphics that are also integrated into our website, are automatically loaded when our website is accessed and enable user behaviour to be tracked - the user's browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the "Outbrain" server. If you access our website via one of our advertisements that is displayed using a widget on an Outbrain partner website, "Outbrain" will store a cookie on your device. With the help of the cookies, "Outbrain" processes the information generated by your device about interactions with our advertising materials (accessing a specific website, clicking on an advertising material) access data, in particular the IP address, for the purpose of analyzing the reach measurement of our advertisements and in order to display target group-specific advertisements to the respective user across all end devices when visiting another "Outbrain" partner website. In addition, by analyzing the click rates of our advertisements, we can measure the rate of users who have carried out a specific action on our website, e.g. ordering goods. If no cookie from "Outbrain" was previously set on your device (e.g. when visiting our website directly without first using an Outbrain partner website), the "Outbrain pixel" does not process any data about you as a visitor to our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) UK GDPR. "Outbrain" also processes your data in the USA. The USA guarantees an adequate level of protection for personal data in accordance with the European Commission Decision of July 10, 2023 and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework for personal data transfers between the UK and the USA.

In order to be able to tailor our WebApp more optimally to user interests, we also use the analysis service “Microsoft Clarity” from Microsoft Corporation (One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA; hereinafter: “Microsoft” and “Microsoft Clarity”). “Microsoft Clarity” records movements on our website in so-called heat maps. This enables us to understand how users perceive our website and how they interact with it, e.g. through mouse movements, clicks and scrolling. This enables us to make our website better and more customer-friendly by knowing which areas have been clicked on particularly often. To analyze usage and click behaviour, “Microsoft Clarity” uses so-called “cookies” and other tracking technologies that are stored on your device and that technically enable an analysis of the use of the website by your device. The information generated by the “cookie” about your visit to our website is also transmitted to the “Microsoft” servers and stored there. In particular, information about your device is also processed, such as the IP address, device type and browser information, geographical location (country code only), preferred language, pages visited, date and time of access. "Microsoft" will use this information to statistically evaluate the use of our website and to create usage reports. The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) UK GDPR.
