The latter country was considered a third country by the European Commission, which ensures an appropriate level of data protection. In this regard, there are no reservations on the part of the European Commission concerning transmission of data to Switzerland and the transmission is possible on the basis of Art. 44 GDPR. Further information in this connection may be obtained from the website of the European Commission at https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/adequacy-protection-personal-data-non-eu-countries_en.

We use cookies on our website. These are small text files that are automatically generated by your browser and stored on your device when you visit our website. The cookie is used to store information that is related to the specific device you are using. However, this does not mean that we will obtain immediate knowledge of your identity.
These cookies are set as so-called First Party Cookies ("own cookies") or Third Party Cookies ("third party cookies"). First party cookies are set by the website you are currently on and are not made accessible by browsers across domains. A Third Party cookie, on the other hand, is set by a third party, not by the actual website you are currently on.
In addition, cookies are divided into technically necessary and technically not necessary cookies. Both technically necessary cookies and technically unnecessary cookies are set on our website in accordance with the following paragraphs.
a) Technically necessary cookies
Technically necessary cookies are absolutely necessary for the operation of our website and lead, for example, to the fact that certain functions are made possible for the first time. These technically necessary cookies, which are only required and set for the individual online session, are automatically deleted after leaving our website.
The legal basis for the use of these technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 Para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
b) Technically not necessary cookies
If you have given your consent, we will use so-called technically not necessary cookies on our website. The technically not necessary cookies are mainly used to evaluate the use of the website as well as user behaviour, to compile reports on the activities of visitors to the website and to provide further services associated with the use of the website.
The technically not necessary cookies used by us are explained in our cookie banner with regard to the functionality, duration and possible third party recipients of the data. If certain third party providers used by us set cookies within the scope of the service provided for us, this will also be pointed out separately in our Data Privacy Policy.
The legal basis for the use of technically not necessary cookies is Art. 6 Para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, provided that you have given your consent.
You can revoke your consent at any time. You can also configure the setting of cookies at any time. For example, you can set your browser so that it informs you beforehand when cookies are set or completely refuses cookies.
For the protection of your inquiries by Internet form we use the service reCAPTCHA offered by Google Inc. The inquiry serves the differentiation whether the input takes place by humans or abusively by automated, mechanical processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and any other data required by Google for the service reCAPTCHA to Google. For this purpose your input will be transmitted to Google and used there. However, your IP address will be shortened by Google in advance within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA is not merged with other data from Google. These data are subject to the differing data protection regulations of Google. For more information about Google's privacy policy, please visit: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/. You can find an opt-out option at the following link: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.
For faster and more efficient processing of customer inquiries we use the ticket system "Zendesk", a customer service platform of Zendesk Inc., 989 Market Street #300, San Francisco, CA 94102. We also use the solution Zendesk Guide as a knowledge database for the FAQ available to you.
If it’s required to process your inquiry, data like for example your surname, first name, address, telephone number, e-mail address are collected and processed. The legal basis for the processing of your data is our legitimate interest in a fast and efficient processing of your inquiries in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
Zendesk is certified as a U.S. provider under the Privacy Shield Agreement and is committed to complying with EU privacy laws. In addition, we have concluded a data processing agreement with Zendesk. This ensures that Zendesk only uses your data within the framework of EU data protection regulations for the processing of enquiries and does not pass them on to third parties.
For further information on how Zendesk handles your data, please refer to Zendesk's privacy policy: https://www.zendesk.de/company/customers-partners/privacy-policy/.
If you do not agree to Zendesk processing your request, you can alternatively communicate with us by e-mail, telephone or fax.
On our website, we use online-marketing measures and tracking tools for analysing the behaviour of the users on our website. By means of this statistical recording, we intend to design our website appropriately and in a needs-based manner and continuously adapt it for you as our user, optimise its utilisation and enhance its attractiveness and functionality.
a) Google Analytics
If you have given your consent, Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited "Google"(Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter referred to as "Google"), is used on this website. The use includes the operating mode "Universal Analytics"; this makes it possible to assign data, sessions and interactions across several devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus to analyze the activities of a user across all devices.
Google uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google in advance within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended to include IP anonymisation in order to guarantee anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. You can find more information on the terms of use and data protection at (https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/gb/ or https://policies.google.com/?hl=en).
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services to website operators relating to website activity and internet usage.
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 sentence1 lit. a GDPR.
The recipient of the collected data is Google. The personal data is transferred to the USA under the EU-US Privacy Shield on the basis of the European Commission's adequacy decision. You can download the certificate (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI) here.
The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. User-ID) or advertising-IDs are automatically erased after 14 months. The erasure of data whose retention period has expired takes place automatically once a month.
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by preventing the storage of cookies through an appropriate setting in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to fully use all the functions of this website.
You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and Google from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser add-on. Opt-out cookies prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. To prevent Universal Analytics from collecting your data across multiple devices, you must opt-out of all systems you use. If you click here (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en), the opt-out cookie will be set to disable Google Analytics.
b) Google AdWords / Conversion Tracking
We in addition use the online advertising programme "Google AdWords" and the Conversion Tracking within the framework of Google AdWords. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google.
When you click an advertisement placed by Google, a cookie for the Conversion Tracking is stored on your device. These cookies expire after 30 days, do not contain any personal data and thus do not serve personal identification purposes.
When you visit certain Internet pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that you clicked the advertisement and were redirected to this site. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Thus, it is not possible to track cookies via websites of AdWords customers.
The information obtained by means of the Conversion cookie serves to prepare Conversion statistics for AdWords customers who opted for Conversion Tracking. In this connection, the customers are informed of the overall number of uses who clicked their advertisement and were redirected to a site equipped with a Conversion Tracking tag. They however do not receive any information that would permit the personal identification of users. The legal basis for the use of Google AdWords/ Conversion Tracking is your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
You can revoke the use of tracking at any time. For further information and the data privacy policy of Google, go to https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads, https://policies.google.com/privacy.
c) Google Remarketing
If you have given your consent, this website uses Google Remarketing, a marketing service offered by Google Inc. ("Google"). Third-party providers, including Google, place advertisements on websites on the Internet and employ cookies to place advertisements on the basis of prior visits by a user to this website. You can revoke your consent at any time. Further information can be found at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads. Alternatively, users can deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers by calling up the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative at https://thenai.org/opt-out/browser-opt-out/.

The tool Tag Manager as such (which implements the tag) is a cookie-less domain and does not collect personal data. The tool provides for the triggering of other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access these data. When any deactivation was made at domain or cookie level, this remains in force for all tracking tags, which are implemented by means of Google Tag Manager.
Further information on the Google Tag Manager may be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

We use it to be able to track the behaviour of the visitors to our website when they have been redirected to the website of the seller after they clicked a Facebook advertisement. This enables the analysis of the efficiency of the Facebook advertisements for statistical and marketing research purposes and the optimisation of future advertising measures. The collected data are anonymous for us as the operator of this website; we are not able to draw any conclusions as to the identity of the users. The data are however stored and processed by Facebook, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook is able to use the data for their own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook's guideline concerning the use of data. This enables Facebook to place advertisements on the pages of Facebook as well as outside of Facebook. We, as the operator of this website, have no influence on this use of the data. Moreover, a cookie may be stored on your computer for these purposes. In the data privacy information of Facebook, you will find additional information on the protection of your privacy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

i) sendgrid
For the dispatch of order confirmation messages, we employ the service provider SendGrid. SendGrid is an offer of SendGrid, Inc., 1401 Walnut, Boulder, CO 80302, USA. Information on the data privacy policy of SendGrid may be found at https://sendgrid.com/privacy.
j) MailChimp
For the dispatch of newsletters, we utilise the services of MailChimp, an offer of Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. MailChimp is a service which inter alia enables the organisation and dispatch of newsletters. When you input data for the purpose of receiving newsletters (e.g. your email address), these are stored on the servers of MailChimp in the USA. MailChimp has received a certification in accordance with the "EU-US Privacy Shield". The "Privacy Shield" is an agreement concluded between the European Union (EU) and the USA that shall guarantee compliance with European data protection and data privacy standards in the USA.
With the help of MailChimp, we are able to analyse our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email that has been sent by MailChimp, a file contained in the email (so-called web-beacon) establishes a connection to the servers of MailChimp in the USA. Thus, it is possible to determine whether a newsletter message was opened and which links, if any, were clicked. Moreover, technical information is recorded (e.g. time of retrieval, IP-address, browser type and operating system). We are not able to attribute this information to the respective recipients of the newsletters. They exclusively serve the purpose of statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. We can use the results of these analyses to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.
If you do not wish any analysis by MailChimp, you need to unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a relevant link in each newsletter message.
The data processing is performed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), which you can revoke at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing procedures that have already taken place remains unaffected by such revocation.
The data stored by you with us for the purpose of receiving newsletters remain stored by us until your deregistration from the newsletter and will be deleted from both our servers and from the servers of MailChimp after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data, which have been stored by us for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the member section), remain unaffected thereby. For more details, you may wish to consult the data privacy provisions of MailChimp at https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.
We have concluded a so-called "Data Processing Agreement" with MailChimp, in which we obligate MailChimp to protect the data of our customers and not to disclose them to any third parties.
k) Tracify
We use the web analytics service Tracify on our website or on parts of our website to record how our website is used by its visitors and to evaluate and optimize the effectiveness of our advertising/marketing measures. Tracify is a web analytics service provided by Tracify GmbH in Munich, Germany. Tracify GmbH acts for us as a data processor on the basis of a data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
Tracify enables an analysis of the use of the website and the customer journey without storing cookies or other information on the end device of the user, but only on the basis of browser and device information, such as the IP address of the user, the configuration of the respective user agent (user agent string), usage data, order information, contact data, the screen resolution, the installed fonts and plugins and the processor of the respective device.
The information transmitted to Tracify is completely and irreversibly anonymized immediately after transmission, so that a personal reference is excluded. Only the anonymized aggregated information is analyzed.
Data processing when using Tracify takes place entirely in Germany; there is no data transfer to unsafe third countries without an adequate level of data protection.
The legal basis for the use of Tracify is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR in a demand-oriented design of the website and in the evaluation and optimization of our marketing measures.
Our website includes videos about YouTube LLC , 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, represented by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The videos are stored on www.youtube.com and can be played directly from our website. Our website enables you to connect to YouTube. Normally, when you visit a website with embedded videos, your IP address is sent to YouTube and cookies are installed on your computer. However, we have integrated the YouTube videos with the "extended data protection mode" on our website. YouTube provides this extended data protection mode itself and ensures that no cookies are initially stored on your device. When you visit the relevant website, however, a connection to the "DoubleClick" network of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, is established and your IP address is transmitted in "extended data protection mode". In particular, this indicates that you have visited our website. However, this data cannot be specifically assigned to you unless you have registered or are registered with YouTube or another Google service prior to visiting the website.
As soon as you start the playback of an embedded video by clicking on it, YouTube only stores cookies on your end devices that do not contain any personally identifiable data, unless you are currently logged in to a Google service. These cookies can be prevented by appropriate browser settings and extensions.
We have neither knowledge nor influence on the possible collection and use of your data by YouTube. For more information, please refer to YouTube's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=uk.
We have integrated links to our Internet presences in the social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest) on our website. We would like to point out that these are only links that lead to our website in the mentioned networks, they are not so-called plugins with which you could, for example, "share" or "link" information on our website in the networks. As far as we know, it is technically not possible for social networks to collect personal data on our website via mere links. Please refer to the data protection information of the respective network for the purpose and scope of data collection after forwarding.
We would like to point out that data of our website visitors can also be processed outside the European Union. This can result in risks for the users, as it could, for example, make it more difficult to enforce the rights of the users. With regard to US providers that are certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they have undertaken to comply with EU data protection standards.
It is also possible that user data may be processed by third parties for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created on the basis of user behaviour and the resulting interests of users. The user profiles can also be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside social networks that are presumed to correspond to the interests of the user. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the user's computer, in which the user's usage behaviour and interests are stored. Furthermore, data may be stored in the user profiles independently of the devices used by the users (in particular if the users are members of the respective social network and are logged in to this network).
For a detailed representation of the respective processing and the possibilities of objection (Opt-Out), we refer to the following linked information of the respective providers. Also in the case of requests for information or the assertion of your rights as a data subject, we point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the social networks. Only these have access to the data of their users and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. Should you nevertheless need help, you can contact us.
We endeavour to take any and all necessary technical and organisational security measures to store your personal data in such a way that they are not accessible by third parties or the general public. Should you wish to contact us by email, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that, when using this means of communication, the confidentiality of the transmitted information cannot be ensured in full. We therefore recommend that you send us confidential information exclusively by post.
This Data Privacy Policy is at present in force and effect and was last amended in February 2023.
The further development of our website and the offers made on it or as a result of amended legal or official regulations may necessitate an amendment of this Data Privacy Policy.
