1.3 Relevant legal bases

Primarily, the legal bases of the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) form the legal basis for the processing of personal data. This is available at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/?uri=celex%3A32016R0679.

We process your personal data in accordance with the following legal bases of the GDPR:

  • Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR: Based on your consent for the processing of your personal data for specific purpose fulfillment, e.g. when subscribing to our newsletter.
    • Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. b GDPR: In the context of pre-contractual obligations as well as contract performance, the processing of your data is necessary. Ex: Processing of your order in our webshop, shipping processing via an external shipping service provider.
    • Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c GDPR: If a legal obligation exists. We may be obliged to process your data due to a legal obligation. Ex.: Obligations under tax law to retain data, legal obligation to document consent given for data processing.
  • Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. f GDPR: To protect our legitimate interests, which does not restrict your fundamental rights and outweighs your interests. Ex: security measures to protect our website, customer-friendly design of our internet presence.

The processing may also be based on several of the aforementioned legal bases. You will be informed about the specific legal bases in the relevant sections.

In addition to the regulations of the GDPR at EU level, national data protection regulations of member states may also apply on the basis of specification clauses. In Germany, these include in particular:

1.4 Data subject rights

According to the GDPR, you as a data subject have the following rights with regard to your personal data:

  • Right to information,
  • Right to correction or removal,
  • Right to restriction of processing,
  • Right to data transferability,
  • Right of revocation,

If you have given your consent to the processing of your personal data, you may revoke it at any time. Such revocation will affect the permissibility of the processing of your personal data after you have expressed it to us. The permissibility of the processing of your data up to the time of your revocation remains unaffected.

  • Right to object,

You may object to data processing that is carried out on the basis of a balance of interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. e or lit. f GDPR. This is particularly the case if the processing is not necessary for the performance of a contract with you. Unless it is an objection to direct marketing, when exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will review the situation and either discontinue or adjust the data processing or show you our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

Of course, you can object to the processing of your personal data for purposes of advertising and data analysis at any time.

  • You have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data in our company in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR.

The data protection supervisory authority responsible for us is:

Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.
P.O. Box 3163
65021 Wiesbaden
poststelle@datenschutz.hessen.de

1.5 Data security/ TSL encryption

We use the widespread TSL (Transport Socket Layer) procedure in conjunction with the highest encryption level supported by your web browser to call up our website. As a rule, this is a 256-bit encryption. You can see whether the individual web pages of our website are transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the status bar of your web browser.

We also use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction and against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

1.6 Duration of storage of personal data

In our data protection information, you will find details on the duration of the storage of your personal data, as well as from which point in time the data will be blocked or deleted. If no explicit storage period is specified for the respective data processing, the personal data will be stored until the purpose is achieved or the legal basis for the storage no longer applies, unless the storage is provided for by legal regulations to which we are subject (e.g. retention periods of tax law (§ 147 AO) or commercial law (§ 257 HGB)). The storage period of personal data for verification and documentation obligations is generally 3 years. If the purpose of the data processing is achieved before then, the personal data will be blocked and deleted after the legal obligations have expired.

1.7 Transmission of personal data

In the course of processing your personal data, it may be transmitted as well as disclosed to natural or legal persons (companies), authorities, institutions or other bodies. The recipients include, for example, IT service providers, payment service providers, banking institutions, tax advisors, lawyers, collection agencies or tax authorities. The transfer of your data may also take place within our group of companies.

If we use external service providers to process your data, they are carefully selected, bound by our instructions and subject to regular monitoring. In certain cases, we and the external service provider may also share responsibility for data processing. Likewise, your data may be collected by the external service providers under their own responsibility.

You will receive more detailed information when you provide your personal data as well as in the following within the framework of this data protection notice.

1.8 Data processing and transfer to third countries

Processing or transfer may also take place in so-called third countries, i.e. outside the European Economic Area (EEA). This is the case, for example, if the company headquarters or server location of the recipient is located there. Third countries are e.g. the USA, but also Great Britain.

According to Art. 44 GDPR, a level of protection comparable to the GDPR should be ensured when processing or transferring personal data to a third country.

The European Commission has certified an adequate level of data protection to some third countries (e.g. Switzerland, Canada, Argentina, Israel) by so-called adequacy decisions according to Art. 45 GDPR. You can access a list of these third countries and the adequacy decisions at: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/international-transfers/adequacy/index_en.html).

We would like to point out that the European Court of Justice (ECJ, 16.7.2020 – C-311/18 “Schrems II”) has declared the EU Commission’s adequacy decision on the EU-US Privacy Shield invalid. Therefore, data transfers to the US cannot be based on the Privacy Shield.

In the absence of an adequacy decision, appropriate safeguards for the protection of the data subject must be provided to compensate for the lack of data protection in a third country. Art. 44 et seq. GDPR contain a catalog of legal measures to ensure adequate safeguards.

To ensure an adequate level of data protection, the European Commission has published, among other things, so-called standard contractual clauses, which are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. These model clauses contain suitable guarantees within the meaning of Art. 46 (1) sentence 1 lit d GDPR. By including the standard data protection clauses in contractual agreements, the contracting parties undertake to comply with the European level of data protection when processing personal data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in third countries. The decision and the corresponding standard contractual clauses are available at: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de.

We provide information on the details in the respective sections of this privacy notice.

Cookies are considered technically necessary if certain components (e.g. our webshop) or functions (e.g. payment function of the webshop) of our website cannot be executed if they are omitted.

    • User input cookies: temporary storage of input.
  • Non-essential cookies: these include advertising cookies, targeting cookies, integration of third-party content and services. These are used, for example, to integrate interest-based advertising and services from third parties on our website or to measure the reach or success of these integrated offers.

Processing of personal data according to the GDPR:
If personal data (e.g. IP address) is processed with and/or after the storage of cookies, the requirements of the GDPR must be complied with for this processing. In particular, the data processing is carried out on the basis of a legal basis according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a – f GDPR (see section: Relevant legal bases).

Storage period:
With regard to the storage period, a distinction is made between session cookies and permanent cookies. Session cookies are deleted again as soon as you close your web browser. Permanent cookies are stored beyond the individual session. These cookies automatically recognize when you call up a website again via your web browser and process the stored data. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined time in each case.

Objection options:
Most web browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your web browser so that no cookies are stored on your end device or a message always appears before a new cookie is created. However, the complete deactivation of cookies may mean that you cannot use all the functions of our website.

You can restrict or completely prevent the setting of cookies in your browser settings. If cookies have already been set, you can arrange for them to be deleted automatically when you close the browser window.

General note on consent:
If you have expressly consented to the use of cookies, the storage and processing of personal data will be carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG.

To subscribe to our newsletter, it is generally sufficient to provide your e-mail address. If necessary, we may ask you to provide additional information that enables a personal salutation in the newsletter or information that is specifically required for the respective newsletter campaign.

Purpose/Legal basis(s):
In the course of registering for the newsletter, you consent to the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. a GDPR.

In addition, your explicit consent is required for the processing of measurement data (e.g.: click rates or opening rates). The legal basis for the processing of cookie and measurement data is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. a GDPR. The purpose of processing the cookie and measurement data (performance measurement) is to be able to track the success and reach of our newsletter.

In the event that consent is not required, the newsletter dispatch is based on the legitimate interest of professional customer communication and sales promotion with direct marketing, as well as the prevention of misuse of our newsletter in accordance with Article 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in being able to prove the consent you have given according to Art. 6 para. 1 S.1 lit. f GDPR.

7. Newsletter tracking – MailChimp

For the dispatch as well as the evaluation of newsletter campaigns, the automated e-mail dispatch or follow-up e-mails, we use the MailChimp service of the company The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308 USA (hereinafter: MailChimp) back.

MailChimp stores your data provided as part of the newsletter registration. Among other things, the IP address and the date of registration are stored as proof of your registration. Your data will be entered in so-called mailing lists. In addition, your email address, name, physical address and demographic information, such as language or location are processed and stored.

This information is processed by Mailchimp for the purpose of sending e-mails as well as providing MailChimp services, e.g. analysis of newsletter campaigns. MailChimp also uses the transmitted data to improve its own services. For example, MailChimp can technically optimize the Newsletter dispatch or determine the regional user numbers.

Emails sent via MailChimp may contain so-called “web beacons” (invisible pixel files). These invisible pixel files are contained in the emails and are retrieved from Mailchimp’s servers when the email is opened. Therefore, an analysis of user reactions to our newsletter is possible. In this way, Mailchimp can recognize whether a newsletter has been opened, the time of opening the email and whether contained links have been clicked. With this data, usage profiles can be created. This data is stored and processed by MailChimp on their servers.

Order data processing:
Mailchimp processes personal data on our behalf. Therefore, we have concluded an order processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. In it, MailChimp undertakes to process the personal data only in accordance with our instructions.

The data processing through the use of the services of MailChimp is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. a GDPR. In addition, the newsletter dispatch is based on the legitimate interest of professional customer communication and sales promotion with direct marketing according to Art. 6 para. 1 S.1 lit. f GDPR.

Data processing and transfer to third countries:
MailChimp has its corporate headquarters in the USA (third country) and stores the data on US servers. MailChimp uses so-called standard contractual clauses according to Art. 46. para. 2 and para. 3 GDPR as a basis for data processing, respectively data transfer to a third country. The standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission have been integrated as an addendum to the data processing, which automatically becomes part of the terms of use. The corresponding regulations are available in MailChimp’s data processing terms and conditions at :https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/#Annex_C_-_Standard_Contractual_Clauses.

12. Definitions

Our data protection information is based on the following definitions of Art. 4 GDPR:

“Personal data” (Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR) means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). A person is identifiable if he or she can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, an online identifier, location data or by means of information relating to his or her physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity characteristics. The identifiability can also be given by means of a linkage of such information or other additional knowledge. The origin, form or embodiment of the information is irrelevant (photographs, video or sound recordings may also contain personal data).

“Processing” (Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR) means any operation which involves the handling of personal data, whether or not by automated (i.e. technology-based) means. This includes, in particular, the collection (i.e. acquisition), recording, organization, arrangement, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment, combination, restriction, erasure or destruction of personal data, as well as the change of a purpose or intended purpose on which a data processing was originally based.

“Controller” (Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR) means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

“Processor” (Art. 4 No. 8 GDPR) means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller, in particular in accordance with the controller’s instructions (e.g. IT service provider). In terms of data protection law, a processor is in particular not a third party.

“Third party” (Art. 4 No. 10 GDPR) means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who are authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor; this also includes other group-affiliated legal entities.

“Consent” (Art. 4 No. 11 GDPR) of the data subject means any freely given indication of his or her wishes in the specific case, in an informed manner and unambiguously in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject indicates that he or she consents to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.
