In addition, we will inform you below about the third-party components we use for optimization purposes and to improve the quality of use, insofar as third parties process data on their own responsibility as a result.
Our privacy policy is structured as follows:
I. Information about us as the person responsible

Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, the deletion of the data does not conflict with any legal storage requirements and no other information on individual processing methods is provided below.
server data
For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable Internet presence, data is transmitted to us or to our web space provider through your Internet browser. These so-called server log files collect, among other things, the type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you switched to our website (referrer URL), the website (s) of our website that you visit, the date and time of the respective access and the IP address of the Internet connection from which you use our website. The data collected in this way is temporarily stored, but not together with other data from you.
This storage is carried out on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.
The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, unless further storage is required for evidence purposes. Otherwise, the data is excluded from deletion in whole or in part until an incident has been finally clarified.
cookies
a) Session cookies/session cookies
We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are stored and stored on your device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies process specific information about you on an individual basis, such as your browser or location data or your IP address.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, as the processing enables us, for example, to display our website in different languages or to offer a shopping cart function. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) lit.) GDPR, insofar as these cookies are processed to initiate or process a contract.
If the processing is not for contract initiation or contract processing, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. When you close your Internet browser, these session cookies are deleted.
b) Third party cookies
Our website may also use cookies from partner companies with whom we work together for the purpose of advertising, analysis or the functionalities of our website.

However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific Internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. In the case of so-called flash cookies, however, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the specific Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support. However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.
Here Go to the detailed list of cookies used by categories.

The data you provide to make use of our range of goods and/or services will be processed by us for the purpose of processing the contract and is necessary to this extent. Contract conclusion and contract processing are not possible without providing your data.
The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
We delete the data once the contract has been completed, but must comply with the retention periods under tax and commercial law.
As part of contract processing, we pass on your data to the transport company responsible for the delivery of the goods or to the financial service provider, insofar as the transfer is necessary for the delivery of the goods or for payment purposes.
The legal basis for the transfer of data is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

You can recognize the Spotify plugins by the green logo on this website. An overview of Spotify plugins can be found at: https://developer.spotify.com. As a result, when you visit this website, a direct connection can be established between your browser and the Spotify server via the plugin. Spotify receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you click on the Spotify button while logged into your Spotify account, you can link the content of this website to your Spotify profile. This allows Spotify to associate your visit to this website with your user account. The storage and analysis of data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

Linking social media via graphic or text link
On our website, we also promote presences on the social networks listed below. The integration is carried out via a linked graphic of the respective network. The use of this linked graphic prevents a connection to the respective server of the social network from automatically being opened when a website that has a social media advertisement is accessed in order to display a graphic of the respective network itself. Only by clicking on the corresponding graphic is the user redirected to the service of the respective social network. After the user has been redirected, information about the user is collected by the respective network. It cannot be ruled out that the data collected in this way will be processed in the USA.
First of all, this includes data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is logged into his user account of the respective network in the meantime, the network operator may be able to assign the collected information from the user's specific visit to the user's personal account. If the user interacts via a “share” button on the respective network, this information can be stored in the user's personal user account and, if necessary, published. If the user wants to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to his user account, he must log out before clicking on the graphic. It is also possible to configure the respective user account accordingly.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.
Through certification in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Shield (“EU-US Privacy Shield”)
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
Google guarantees that the EU's data protection requirements are also met when processing data in the USA. The Google Analytics service is used to analyze the usage behavior of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website.
Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. With this function, Google already abbreviates the IP address within the EU or the EEA.
The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of visits to our website and usage activities there. This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the Internet.
Google states that it does not connect your IP address with other data. Google also keeps
https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners
Further data protection information is available for you, including options for preventing the use of data.
Google also offers at
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
a so-called deactivation add-on and further information about this. This add-on can be installed with standard Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on tells the JavaScript (ga.js) from Google Analytics that information about visiting our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services. Of course, you can also find out whether and which other web analysis services we use in this privacy policy.
Google reCAPTCHA
On our website, we use Google reCAPTCHA to check and avoid interactions on our website through automated access, e.g. by so-called bots. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google.”
Through certification in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Shield (“EU-US Privacy Shield”)
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
Google guarantees that the EU's data protection requirements are also met when processing data in the USA.
Through this service, Google can determine from which website a request is being sent and from which IP address you are using the so-called reCAPTCHA input box. In addition to your IP address, Google may collect other information that is necessary to offer and guarantee this service.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the security of our website and in preventing unwanted, automated access in the form of spam, etc.

Google, and thus its subsidiary YouTube, guarantees that the EU's data protection requirements are also met when processing data in the USA.
We use YouTube in connection with the “Advanced Privacy Mode” feature to be able to show you videos. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website. According to YouTube, the “Advanced Data Protection Mode” function means that the data described in more detail below is only transmitted to the YouTube server when you actually start a video.
Without this “extended data protection”, a connection to the YouTube server in the USA is established as soon as you access one of our websites on which a YouTube video is embedded.
This connection is required in order to be able to display the respective video on our website via your Internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will collect and process at least your IP address, the date and time, and the website you have visited. In addition, a connection to Google's “DoubleClick” advertising network is established.
If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube assigns the connection information to your YouTube account. If you want to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account.
For the purpose of functionality and to analyze user behavior, YouTube permanently stores cookies on your device via your Internet browser. If you do not agree with this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by setting your Internet browser. You can find more information about this under “Cookies” above.

Some user data is processed on Vimeo servers in the USA. Through certification in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Shield (“EU-US Privacy Shield”)
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt00000008V77AAE&status=Active
However, Vimeo guarantees that the EU's data protection requirements are also met when processing data in the USA.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website.
If you visit a page on our website in which a video is embedded, a connection to the Vimeo servers in the USA is established to display the video. For technical reasons, it is necessary for Vimeo to process your IP address. In addition, the date and time of your visit to our website are also recorded.
If you are logged in to Vimeo at the same time as you visit one of our websites in which a Vimeo video is embedded, Vimeo may assign the information collected in this way to your personal user account there. If you want to prevent this, you must either log out of Vimeo before visiting our website or configure your Vimeo user account accordingly.
For the purpose of functionality and usage analysis, Vimeo uses the web analysis service Google Analytics. Google Analytics stores cookies on your device via your Internet browser and sends information about the use of our websites, in which a Vimeo video is embedded, to Google. It cannot be ruled out that Google processes this information in the USA.
If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your Internet browser. For details, see “Cookies” above. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website and Vimeo's legitimate interest in statistically analyzing user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.

Affiliatelinks/advertising links
The links marked with an asterisk (*) are so-called affiliate links. If you click on such an affiliate link and make a purchase via this link, we receive a commission from the relevant online shop or provider. The price won't change for you.
Data transfer upon conclusion of contract for services and digital content
We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary as part of contract processing, for example to the bank responsible for payment processing.
Further transmission of data will not take place or will only take place if you have expressly agreed to the transfer. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without express consent, for example for advertising purposes. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Using our online shop
If you would like to order from our online shop, it is necessary for you to provide your personal data to conclude the contract. Failure to provide your data would mean that you would not be able to use the ordering function of our online shop.
We process the data you provide to process your order, including our services in the event of cancellations, claims for defects and to answer your inquiries.
Your personal data will only be transferred to third parties if this is necessary to process the contract and payment. Third parties commissioned by us, such as shipping partners and payment service providers, only receive personal data if its transmission is necessary to deliver your order and process payment.
If you choose to pay with “PayPal” or “PayPal Plus” (purchase on invoice/credit card/ direct debit) as part of your order process, your personal data will be automatically transmitted to PayPal. PayPal is an offer from PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg. PayPal assumes the function of an online payment service provider and a trustee and offers buyer protection services.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal usually includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address or other data that is necessary for payment processing. Personal data related to the respective order (such as number of items, item number, invoice amount and taxes and other billing information) is also required to process the purchase contract.
The transmission of your data is necessary for payment processing via PayPal and is intended to confirm your identity and to administer your payment instruction. PayPal may share your personal data with affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors, insofar as this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or the data is processed on behalf of you.
The personal data transmitted by us to PayPal may be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. The purpose of this transfer is to verify identity and credit. PayPal uses the result of the credit check, taking into account the statistical probability of default, for the purpose of deciding whether to provide the respective payment method. The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values are included in the results of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical process.
You can see which credit agencies these are here: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full#rAnnex
You have the option to withdraw your consent to PayPal processing your personal data at any time.
