For payment processing purposes, the information you provided during the order process, along with information about your order, will be transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data with a developer-specific key before the data is sent to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay for payment execution. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment has been made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm successful payment.

If you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made via Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorisation device communicate over an encrypted channel on Apple's servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can identify you. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings.

9) Online Marketing
Facebook Pixel for creating custom audiences with advanced matching (with cookie consent tool)
Within our online offering, the so-called "Facebook Pixel" of the social network Facebook is used in advanced matching mode. This is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").
Based on your explicit consent, when a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook, an addendum is appended to the URL of our linked page by Facebook Pixel. This URL parameter is then written into the user's browser via a cookie, which our linked page itself sets, after redirection. In addition, this cookie collects specific customer data, such as the email address, which we gather on our website linked to the Facebook advertisement during processes such as purchases, account logins, or registrations (advanced matching). The cookie is then read by Facebook Pixel and allows the data, including specific customer data, to be forwarded to Facebook.
With the help of the Facebook Pixel with advanced matching, Facebook can precisely determine the visitors to our online offering as a target group for displaying advertisements (so-called "Facebook Ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook Pixel with advanced matching to display the Facebook Ads we place only to those Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products, determined based on the visited websites), which we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the Facebook Pixel with advanced matching, we also want to ensure that our Facebook Ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not appear annoying. This also allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes by understanding whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook advertisement (so-called "conversion"). Compared to the standard version of Facebook Pixel, the advanced matching feature helps us better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by capturing more attributed conversions.
All transmitted data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook's data usage policy (https://www.facebook.com
These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
The information generated by Facebook is usually transmitted to a Facebook server and stored there, which may also involve transmission to the servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
10) Web analytics services
Google (Universal) Analytics
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). Google (Universal) Analytics uses so-called "cookies", which are text files stored on your device that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including the truncated IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there; this may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the "_anonymizeIp()" extension, which ensures the anonymization of the IP address by truncation and excludes direct personal identification. Through the extension, your IP address is truncated by Google 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 LLC. server in the USA and truncated there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide us with other services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google (Universal) Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Google Analytics also enables, via a special function called "demographic characteristics", the creation of statistics with statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors based on an evaluation of interest-based advertising and with the inclusion of third-party information. This allows the definition and differentiation of user groups of the website for the purpose of optimizing marketing measures for target groups. However, data records collected via "demographic characteristics" cannot be assigned to a specific person.
Details on the processing initiated by Google Analytics and how Google handles data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com
All processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for reading information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without this consent, Google Analytics will not be used during your visit to the site.
You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
On this website, the "Google Signals" service may also be used as an extension of Google Analytics. With Google Signals, cross-device reports can be created by Google (so-called "Cross Device Tracking"). If you have activated "personalized ads" in your Google account settings and linked your internet-enabled devices to your Google account, Google can analyze user behavior across devices with your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (see above) and create database models based on this. This takes into account the logins and device types of all site visitors who were logged into a Google account and executed a conversion. The data shows, among other things, on which device you first clicked on an advertisement and on which device the associated conversion took place. Insofar as Google Signals is used, we do not receive personal data from Google, but only statistics generated based on Google Signals. You have the option to deactivate the "personalized ads" function in your Google account settings and thus disable cross-device analysis. To do this, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com
Further information can be found here: https://support.google.com
As an extension of Google Analytics, the "UserIDs" function can also be used on this website. By assigning individual UserIDs, we can have Google create cross-device reports (so-called "Cross Device Tracking"). This means that your user behavior can also be analyzed across devices if you have set up a personal account by registering on this website and are logged into your personal account on different devices with your corresponding login data, provided you have given your explicit consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The data collected in this way shows, among other things, on which device you first clicked on an advertisement and on which device the corresponding conversion took place.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics, which obliges Google to protect the data of our site visitors and not to pass them on to third parties.
For the transfer of data from the EU to the USA, Google relies on so-called standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection in the USA.
Further information on Google (Universal) Analytics can be found here: https://policies.google.com
11) Retargeting/ Remarketing/ Recommendation Advertising
TikTok Pixel
This website uses the "TikTok Pixel", a tracking technology of the social network "TikTok" by TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland ("TikTok").
With the help of cookies (small text files stored on the end device used), information about browsing behavior on our website is collected in pseudonymized form, transmitted to TikTok, stored there, and evaluated to enable the display of interest-based and personalized product recommendations on TikTok. The information thus collected and pseudonymously processed generally includes the device ID, device type, timestamp, operating system used, and IP address. The information can be assigned to the user's person with the help of further information that TikTok has stored about the user, e.g., due to account ownership on the social network "TikTok". TikTok can also combine the information collected via the pixel with other information that TikTok has collected via other websites and/or in connection with the use of the social network "TikTok", and thus create pseudonymized usage profiles. In no case can the collected information be used to personally identify visitors to this website.
The TikTok Pixel also allows us to track the effectiveness of advertisements on TikTok. If the user is redirected from an ad on TikTok to pages of this website and the cookies have not yet expired, the pixel records certain predefined user actions and can track them (e.g., completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website, views of product pages). When such an action is performed, your browser sends an HTTP request from the cookie via the TikTok Pixel to the TikTok server, which transmits certain information about the action. Through this transmission, TikTok can create statistics about user behavior on our website after being redirected from a TikTok ad, which serves to optimize our offering.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website. We have concluded a data processing agreement with TikTok for the use of the TikTok Pixel, which obliges TikTok to protect the data of our site visitors and not to pass them on to third parties. TikTok generally transmits collected information outside the European Economic Area and relies on so-called standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection.
12) Site Functionalities
12.1 Facebook Plugins with 2-click solution
Our website uses so-called social plugins ("plugins") of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").
To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the plugins are initially deactivated by means of a so-called "2-click" solution. Deactivated plugins are greyed out. This integration ensures that no connection with Facebook's servers is established when you access a page of our website that contains such plugins. Only when you activate the plugins and thus give your consent to the data transfer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, does your browser establish a direct connection to Facebook's servers. The content of the respective plugin is transmitted directly to your browser and integrated into the page. The plugin then transmits data (including your IP address) to Facebook. We have no influence on the extent of the data that Facebook collects with the help of the plugins. To our knowledge, Facebook receives information about which of our websites you have accessed currently and previously. By integrating the plugins, Facebook also receives information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile on Facebook or are not currently logged in. The collected information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA and stored there. If you interact with the plugins, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook and displayed to your contacts there.
You can revoke your consent at any time by deactivating the activated plugin again by clicking on it. However, the revocation does not affect the data already transferred to Facebook.
For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your related rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook's data protection notices: https://www.facebook.com
12.2 Instagram Plugin as Shariff Solution
Our website uses so-called social plugins ("plugins") of the online service Instagram, which is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland ("Facebook").
To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, these buttons are not fully integrated as plugins, but only using an HTML link. This type of integration ensures that no connection with Instagram's servers is established when you access a page of our website that contains such buttons. When you click the button, a new browser window opens and calls up the Instagram page, where you can interact with the plugins there (possibly after entering your login data).
For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Instagram, as well as your related rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Instagram's data protection notices: https://help.instagram.com
12.3 Use of YouTube videos
This website uses the YouTube embedding function to display and play videos from the provider "YouTube", which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").
The extended data protection mode is used here, which, according to the provider, only initiates the storage of user information when the video(s) are played. If the playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, the provider "YouTube" uses cookies to collect information about user behavior. According to "YouTube", these are used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent abusive actions. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account when you click a video. If you do not wish for your data to be associated with your profile on YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and to exercise this right, you must contact YouTube. When using YouTube, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
Regardless of the playback of embedded videos, a connection to the Google network is established each time this website is accessed, which may trigger further data processing operations beyond our control.
All processing described above, in particular the reading of information on the end device used via the tracking pixel, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without this consent, YouTube videos will not be used during your visit to the site.
You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website or through alternative options communicated to you on the website.
Further information on data protection at "YouTube" can be found in the YouTube Terms of Use at https://www.youtube.com
12.4 Shopsync for Shopify
This website uses the Shopify app "Shopsync" by ShopSync LLC, PO Box 252, Jefferson City, TN 37760, USA.
ShopSync is used to synchronize the newsletter service "Mailchimp" with our Shopify account in such a way that, on the one hand, updates in Mailchimp email lists (e.g., a newsletter recipient's opt-out) are automatically stored on Shopify, and on the other hand, new contact data generated through contract conclusions on Shopify are automatically transferred to Mailchimp email lists.
In the former case, data processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective and cross-system maintenance of advertising recipient directories and the efficient observance of legally relevant status changes.
In the latter case, solely on the basis of the user's express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, after a contract is concluded on Shopify for inclusion in the Mailchimp list, their first and last name, address, and email address, along with transaction-related information (purchase amount, time and date of purchase), are transferred to Mailchimp by ShopSync.
Data transferred in this way is not stored or retained by ShopSync after synchronization. All information synchronized between Shopify and Mailchimp is transmitted via SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology, and all transmitted information remains encrypted during the synchronization process.
The synchronization process requires the transfer of information via a secure connection to servers hosted by Amazon Web Services in the USA.
Further data protection information on ShopSync can be found here: https://shopsync.io
13) Tools and miscellaneous
Cookie Consent Tool
This website uses a "Cookie Consent Tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "Cookie Consent Tool" is displayed to users when they visit the page in the form of an interactive user interface, where consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by checking a box. Through the use of this tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user gives the corresponding consent by checking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on the user's end device if consent has been given.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed here.
If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.
Another legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As the data controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
Further information about the operator and the setting options of the Cookie Consent Tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED. HOWEVER, FURTHER PROCESSING IS RESERVED IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS, AND FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED BY US FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING. YOU CAN EXERCISE THE OBJECTION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.
15) Duration of storage of personal data
The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing, and – if applicable – additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g., commercial and tax law retention periods).
When personal data is processed on the basis of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, this data will be stored until the data subject withdraws their consent.
If there are statutory retention periods for data that are processed within the scope of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, this data will be routinely deleted after the retention periods have expired, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in further storage.
When personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data will be stored until the data subject exercises their right to object under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
When personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data will be stored until the data subject exercises their right to object under Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.
Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this declaration on specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
