What is it about?

This privacy policy fulfils the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address or user behaviour when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or only with disproportionate effort) establish a connection to your person, e.g. through anonymisation, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. the collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose

Stored personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate reasons for further storage of the data. We will inform you of the specific storage periods or criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and in the event of statutory retention obligations.

Who receives my data?

We only pass on your personal data that we process on our website to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes and is covered by the legal basis (e.g. consent or protection of legitimate interests) in individual cases. In individual cases, we also pass on personal data to third parties if this serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. Possible recipients may then be, for example, law enforcement authorities, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.

Insofar as we use service providers for the operation of our website who process personal data on our behalf as part of order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, they may be recipients of your personal data. You can find more information on the use of processors and web services in the overview of the individual processing operations.

Do you use cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent by us to the browser of your end device and stored there when you visit our website. As an alternative to the use of cookies, information can also be stored in the local storage of your browser. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies or local storage (technically necessary cookies). Other cookies, on the other hand, enable us to carry out various analyses so that we are able, for example, to recognise the browser you are using when you visit our website again and to transmit various information to us (non-essential cookies). With the help of cookies, we can, among other things, make our website more user-friendly and effective for you, for example by tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g. country and language settings). If third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly via your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device. They cannot execute programmes or contain viruses.

We provide information about the respective services for which we use cookies in the individual processing operations. You can find detailed information on the cookies used in the cookie settings.

- Objection pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR to the processing of your personal data, insofar as this is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e, f GDPR and there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising.

Provision of the website
Type and scope of processing

When you access and use our website, we collect the personal data that your browser automatically transmits to our server. The following information is temporarily stored in a log file:

 - IP address of the requesting computer
 - Date and time of access
 - Name and URL of the retrieved file
 - Website from which the access was made (referrer URL)
- Browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer, as well as the name of your access provider

Our website is not hosted by us, but by a service provider who processes the aforementioned data on our behalf in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR for the purpose of providing the website.

We use Kajabi, LLC as the platform to create and manage our offerings. Your data is shared with Kajabi and processed in the United States. Kajabi operates in compliance with Article 28 of the GDPR. To safeguard your data, we have entered into EU Standard Contractual Clauses with Kajabi. For more information, please refer to Kajabi’s Privacy Policy.

Purpose and legal basis

The processing is carried out to safeguard our overriding legitimate interest in displaying our website and ensuring security and stability on the basis of Art. 6 para. lit. f GDPR. The collection of data and storage in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. There is no right to object to the processing due to the exception under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR. Insofar as further storage of the log files is required by law, the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide the data, however, accessing our website is not technically possible without providing the data.

Storage duration
The aforementioned data is stored for the duration of the display of the website and, for technical reasons, for a maximum of 35 days.

Registration of a customer account
Type and scope of processing

As part of order processing, we collect your personal data to register a customer account. You can choose whether you want to order as a guest or register a permanent user account. The information that is collected during registration via the mandatory fields is identical in both cases and is required to process the order in the online shop. When registering a permanent user account, we also collect a password that you set yourself. Furthermore, you can voluntarily provide additional information that you consider necessary for processing the order.

Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties (e.g. shipping service providers / forwarding agents) and processors in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR if this is necessary for processing the order.
Purpose and legal basis

We process your personal data for the purpose of registering a customer account to fulfil a contract with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. There is a contractual obligation to provide your data insofar as it relates to the mandatory fields, as this information is required to identify you personally and to fulfil the contract on our part.
The additional processing of your password for the registration of the permanent user account is carried out for the purpose of providing a customer account and to display your previous purchases as well as to store your purchase-related data (e.g. storage of billing address, various delivery addresses) on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. By deleting your customer account, you can declare your cancellation at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR.

Storage period

If you order as a guest, your personal data will be stored until your order has been fully processed (end of contract). If you register a permanent customer account, we will store the purchase-related data beyond the end of the contract until you withdraw your consent (deletion of the customer account). In both cases, your data will only be stored further if there are statutory retention obligations (e.g. tax and commercial law).

Request by e-mail
Type and scope of processing

On our website, we offer you the opportunity to contact us by e-mail. The information collected with your e-mail (name, e-mail address, text) is required to process the enquiry. You can also voluntarily provide additional information that you believe is necessary to process the contact enquiry. When sending an e-mail to us, your personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

Purpose and legal basis
Your data is processed using our contact form for the purpose of communicating and processing your enquiry on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Insofar as your enquiry relates to an existing contractual relationship with us, the processing is carried out for the purpose of contract fulfilment on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data, but it is not possible to process your enquiry without providing the information in the mandatory fields. If you do not wish to provide this data, please contact us by other means.

Storage period
If you send us an e-mail on the basis of your consent, we will store the data collected for each enquiry for a period of three years, starting with the completion of your enquiry or until you withdraw your consent.

Instagram, facebook and twitter plugin
Type and scope of processing

We have integrated Instagram plugin components on our website. Instagram Plugin is a service of Meta Platforms Ireland Limited and offers us the opportunity to aggregate content from the social media platform and display it on our website.

When you access this content, you establish a connection to the servers of Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, whereby your IP address and possibly browser data such as your user agent are transmitted. This data is processed exclusively for the above-mentioned purposes and to maintain the security and functionality of Instagram Plugin.

If a user is registered with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Instagram Plugin can assign the content viewed to the profile.

Instagram page

When you visit our Instagram page, Instagram collects, among other things, your IP address and other information that is stored on your PC in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide us, as the operator of the Instagram pages, with statistical information about the use of the Instagram page. Instagram provides more information on this under the following link: http://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights

It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual users based on the statistical information transmitted. We only use this information to be able to respond to the interests of our users and to continuously improve our online presence and ensure its quality.

We only collect your data via our fan page in order to realise a possible provision for communication and interaction with us. This collection generally includes your name, message content, comment content and the profile information you provide ‘publicly’.

The processing of your personal data for the above-mentioned purposes is based on our legitimate business and communicative interest in offering an information and communication channel in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR. If you as a user have given your consent to data processing to the respective provider of the social network, the legal basis for processing extends to Art. 6 para. 1 a), Art. 7 GDPR.

Due to the fact that the actual data processing is carried out by the provider of the social network, our access to your data is limited. Only the provider of the social network is authorised to have full access to your data. As a result, only the provider can directly take and implement appropriate measures to fulfil your user rights (request for information, request for deletion, objection, etc.). The assertion of corresponding rights is therefore most effectively carried out directly against the respective provider.

We are jointly responsible with Instagram for the personal content of the fan page. Data subject rights can be asserted with Facebook Ireland and with us.

The primary responsibility for the processing of Insights data lies with Instagram in accordance with the GDPR and Instagram fulfils all obligations under the GDPR with regard to the processing of Insights data, Facebook Ireland provides the essentials of the Page Insights Supplement to the data subjects.

We do not make any decisions regarding the processing of Insights data and all other information resulting from Art. 13 GDPR, including the legal basis, identity of the data subject and the data controller. If you as a user have given your consent to data processing to the respective provider of the social network, the legal basis for processing extends to Art. 6 para. 1 a), Art. 7 GDPR
