8. In connection with our newsletters
As a customer or interested party, we would like to send you our newsletter. If you are already a customer of ours, we will therefore also use your e-mail address to send you our personalised newsletter about similar product offers. If you are not a customer of ours but would still like to receive the newsletter, we only need your e-mail address to send you the newsletter. The sending is based on your explicit consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO) or, if you are already our customer, based on our legitimate interests in informing you about current product recommendations for you (direct marketing). The information we send you by newsletter includes up-to-date information on various (price/coupon) promotions relating to brands, trends or special product categories; reminders about items on your wish list (also in the event of price changes to items stored there); availability notifications if you have explicitly asked us for one, e.g. about a size that was originally missing; shopping basket reminders if you were logged in as a customer and did not complete a purchase; satisfaction surveys on products and services offered by us; and, where applicable, personalised recommendations on items that we believe may be of interest to you based on your previous orders and/or browsing habits.

For this purpose, cookies are placed on your devices and pixel tags are implemented on websites that use Emarsys to analyse and evaluate your usage behaviour (e.g. clicks) on your various devices.

III. Data sharing

1. For payment processing
As part of the fulfilment of the contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO, we use various payment service providers to process payments. For this processing, it may be necessary for us to forward the personal data collected in the payment process, such as name, address, telephone number, email address, credit card or bank account data and transaction data to the payment service provider. In some cases, the payment service providers also collect this data themselves.

As part of the performance of the contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b DSGVO, we use the payment service providers listed below for the processing of payments:

a. Payments with Adyen
We offer payment processing by means of the full payment service provider

Adyen N.V., Simon Carmiggeltstraat 6-50, 1011 DJ Amsterdam (hereinafter "Adyen").

Adyen is a payment service provider and as such Adyen offers acquiring services. Being an acquirer means that Adyen accepts payment on behalf of the relevant merchant and then transfers the amounts paid by the buyer (‘you’) to the merchant. Adyen's role is to request the relevant payment system, such as Mastercard, Visa or iDeal, authorise the transaction and send it to the buyer's bank for approval. If the bank gives approval, Adyen is informed of this by the relevant payment system and makes the payment to the merchant's bank. By selecting a payment option, you consent to the transmission of personal data during the payment process.

You can find Adyen's privacy policy here. You can contact Adyen's data protection officer at dpo[at]adyen.com.

The personal data transmitted to Adyen is usually: first name, surname, address, date of birth, gender, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number and other data necessary to process a payment. Personal data that’s related to the respective order, such as the browser language or shipping method, is also necessary to process the purchase contract. In particular, there may be a mutual exchange of payment information, such as bank details, card number, validity date and CVC code, data on goods, services and prices.

The purposes of this data transfer are identity verification, payment administration and fraud prevention. The controller will transfer personal data to Adyen if there is a legitimate interest for the transfer. The personal data exchanged between Adyen and the controller may be transferred by Adyen to credit reference agencies. The purpose of this transfer is to check identity and credit score.

Adyen also discloses personal data to service providers or subcontractors to the extent necessary to fulfil contractual obligations or to process the data.

We use Adyen for the following payment methods:

i. Payments with Paypal
PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L- 2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter ‘Paypal’).

If you pay with your PayPal account, you will still be redirected to the PayPal website. There you can log in with your account details and approve the payment. If you choose the payment options ‘direct debit’, ‘credit card’ or ‘purchase on account’, you will also be redirected to the PayPal website. There you can approve the payment with or without a PayPal account by providing the payment information. We have no access to personal data collected by PayPal. PayPal is responsible for their processing.

Further information on data protection in connection with PayPal can be found in PayPal's privacy policy.

ii. Credit card payments
When paying by credit card, the payment data you enter will be stored at ‘Adyen’ and only passed on to the companies involved in the payment process.

By paying by credit card, you accept the terms and conditions of the payment provider. In this case, we do not collect or store payment data.

Further information on this can be found in your credit card company’s data protection regulations.

iii. Klarna Pay Later
We offer you the possibility to pay your order ‘on account’. In doing so, we make an advance payment. When you select these payment options, your personal data will therefore be passed on by Adyen to:

Klarna GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich (hereinafter ‘Klarna‘).

(see Klarna's privacy policy at: https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/legal/terms/0/de_de/privacy )

for the purpose of assessing our credit risk.

Klarna has the credit risk assessed by credit agencies and receives information and, if necessary, creditworthiness information based on mathematical, statistical procedures (scoring), the calculation of which includes, among other things, address data and your date of birth.

Klarna works together with the following credit agencies:

  • Deltavista GmbH, Freisinger Landstraße 74, 80939 Munich, Tel.: +49 (0)721-25511-777
  • Creditreform Boniversum GmbH, Hellersbergstraße 11, 41460 Neuss, Tel.: +49 (0)2131-109-501, Fax: -557
  • infoscore Consumer Data GmbH, Rheinstraße 99, 76532 Baden-Baden, Tel.: +49 (0)7221-5040-1000, Fax: -1001c
  • Bürgel Wirtschaftsinformationen GmbH & Co. KG, Gasstraße 18, 22761 Hamburg, Tel.: +49 (0)40-89803-0, Fax: -777
  • Deutsche Post Direkt GmbH, Junkersring 57, 53844 Troisdorf, Germany
  • Regis24 GmbH, Wallstraße 58, 10719 Berlin, Tel.: +49 (0)30 44350-240, Fax: -249c
  • CRIF Bürgel GmbH, Radlkoferstraße 2, 81373 Munich, Tel.: +49 40 89803-0, Fax: -777/ 778
  • SCHUFA Holding AG, Kormoranweg 5, 65201 Wiesbaden (information about your stored data can be obtained from SCHUFA Holding AG, Consumer Service, P.O. Box 5640, 30056 Hanover).

The collection, storage and forwarding of this data is therefore carried out for the purpose of checking your creditworthiness and to avoid a payment default as well as for fraud prevention on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO. Based on this information, statistical probability of credit default and thus your solvency (credit rating) is calculated. If this creditworthiness check is positive, an order on account is possible. If the credit check is negative, our shop system will not allow you to pay on account. The decision as to whether an order is also possible on account is based solely on an automated decision by our online shop system, which is carried out by Klarna or the credit agencies commissioned by it, so that a manual checking of your documents by one of our employees isn’t required.

Insofar as we make automated decisions with legal effect, you have the right to receive information about the logic involved, as well as the scope and intended effects of this data processing. You can have this automated decision reviewed against us, explaining your point of view, and have the right to human intervention by us. To do so, please contact shop[at]klarna.com.

iv. Klarna Pay Now
1. Klarna instant transfer
We also offer payment by instant bank transfer. To do this, all you need is your account number, BIC or sort code, and the PIN and TAN for your online banking account. During the ordering process, you will automatically be redirected to a secure payment form from Klarna Bank AB (‘Klarna’). Immediately afterwards, you will receive confirmation of the transaction. We will then directly receive the transfer credit. Anyone who has an activated online banking account with PIN/TAN procedure can use Sofortüberweisung as a payment method. Please note that a few banks do not yet support payment by instant transfer.

2. Direct debit
If you select the direct debit payment method when placing your order, you must provide your account details (IBAN and BIC), which will be passed on to Klarna. The payment is due by direct debit upon conclusion of the contract and will be debited by Klarna from your specified account. The debit will take place after the goods have been dispatched. You will be notified of the date by email . The direct debit payment method requires, among other things, a successful identity and credit check (see below under iii).

The pseudonymised hash value of the email address is used to consider any possible objection against the advertising by Sovendus (Art. 21 Para. 3, Art. 6 Para. 1 c GDPR). The I.P. address is used by Sovendus solely for data security purposes and is as a rule anonymised after seven days (Art. 6 Para. 1 f GDPR). We also send for billing purposes, the pseudonymised order number, order value with currency, session I.D., coupon code and time stamp to Sovendus (Art. 6 Para. 1 f GDPR).

5. For the integration of the Trusted Shops badge

This helps to protect our, in the balancing of various interests, overriding legitimate interest to ensure the optimal marketing of our offering (Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter f GDPR). The trust badge and the services purchased with it are provided by:

Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne

This access data is not analysed and will be overwritten automatically no later than seven days after your visit.

Additional personal data is only forwarded to Trusted Shops if, after completing an order, you decide to use Trusted Shops products or if you have already registered to use Trusted Shops products. In this case, the contractual agreement concluded between you and Trusted Shops will apply.

9. Google reCAPTCHA
To protect our website, we use the services of Google reCAPTCHA, a product of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google reCAPTCHA can be used to check whether the file input, for example in a contact form, is made by a human or by an automated program (a so-called "bot").

Google reCAPTCHA analyses and evaluates various information for this purpose. This information includes:

  • IP address
  • Referrer URL
  • Device and application data
  • Dwell time of the website visitor
  • Mouse movements and keystrokes made by the user
  • Information about operating systems and browsers
  • Screen resolution, as well as language settings
  • Location data
  • Interactions with Google reCAPTCHA on other websites
  • As well as results of manual recognition processes, for example, the answers of questions asked or the selection of objects

The data collected during this analysis is forwarded to Google and may also be shared with other third parties. The analysis by Google reCAPTCHA takes place in the background. The website visitor learns about Google reCAPTCHA when solving the task posed by Google reCAPTCHA or when confirming "I am not a robot".

IP addresses are almost always shortened beforehand within the member states of the EU or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before the data reaches a server in the USA. The IP address is not combined with other data from Google unless you are logged in with your Google account while using reCAPTCHA.

The storage and analysis of the data are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offers from abusive automated spying and spam. In addition, there is a legitimate interest to protect our website from automated entries (attacks).

For more information about Google reCAPTCHA, please see the Google Privacy Policy and the Google Terms of Service .

12. Information on possible risks with data transfers to insecure third countries, in particular the USA.
With the ECJ ruling of 16 July 2020 (C-311/18), the (partial) adequacy decision for the USA according to Art. 45 (1) GDPR, the so-called Privacy Shield was declared null and void.

The USA is thus a so-called unsafe third country. A "third country" is a state outside the European Economic Area (EEA) in which the GDPR is not directly applicable. A third country is considered "insecure" if the EU Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for that country pursuant to Art. 45(1) GDPR confirming that adequate protection for personal data exists in the country. This means that the USA currently does not offer a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU.

In particular, when transferring personal data to the US, there is a risk that US authorities may gain access to personal data on the basis of the surveillance programmes PRISM and UPSTREAM based on Section 702 of FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act), as well as on the basis of Executive Order 12333 or Presidential Police Directive 28. EU citizens do not have effective legal protection against this in the US or the EU.

In this privacy notice, we inform you when and how we transfer personal data to the US or other unsecure third countries. We only transfer your personal data if

  • the recipient provides sufficient guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 (1) DSGVO for the protection of the personal data;
  • you have expressly consented to the transfer after we have informed you of the risks in accordance with Art. 49 (1) a) DSGVO;
  • the transfer is necessary for the performance of contractual obligations between you and us (Art. 49 (1) (b) DSGVO);
  • another exception from Art. 49 DSGVO applies.

Guarantees according to Art. 46 (1) of the GDPR can be so-called Binding Corporate Rules, i.e. binding internal data protection regulations of a provider agreed with the supervisory authorities. Likewise, according to Art. 46 (2) (c) of the GDPR, so-called standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission pursuant to Art. 93 (2) of the GDPR may be considered as suitable guarantees. In these standard contractual clauses, the recipient assures to sufficiently protect the data and thus to guarantee a level of protection comparable to the GDPR. We ensure beforehand that the recipient can also fulfil the agreed guarantees.

At the moment, we base a transfer of data to the USA exclusively on guarantees according to Art. 46 (1) of the GDPR. Should this no longer be possible in the future and we would have to base a transfer of personal data to third parties on your consent pursuant to Art. 49 (1) a) DSGVO, we would only do so temporarily, in particular only until such time as the third parties concerned have either issued binding internal data protection rules pursuant to Art. 46 (2) b), 47 DSGVO or allow the conclusion of standard data protection clauses issued by the European Commission pursuant to Art. 46 (2) c), 93 (2) DSGVO.

13. For other purposes
In addition, we only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

  • you have given your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO,
  • there is a legal obligation to pass on the data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. c DSGVO, as well as
  • the disclosure is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data.

IV. Cookies and pixel tags

1. What are cookies and pixel tags?
We use cookies on our website. These are small files which are automatically created by your browser and stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone etc.) when you visit our website. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses, Trojans or any other malware.

Information is stored in the cookie relating to the specific device used. This does not mean we can immediately establish your identity.

We use pixel tags (also called tracking pixels) in our online offerings. Pixels are small graphics which are integrated using the HTML code of our webpage. The pixel tag does not store or change any information on your device; pixels also do not damage your device and do not contain viruses, Trojans or any other malware.

Pixels can send personal data such as your I.P. address, the referrer URL of the website visited, the time the pixel was viewed, the browser used and previously placed cookie information to a web server. As a result, reach measurements and other statistical analyses used to optimise and refine our product selection can also be conducted.

The use of cookies makes it easier for you to use our website. We use, for example, so-called session cookies to recognise that you have already visited particular pages on our website, to recognise that you are already logged in to your user account or to display the shopping basket. These are deleted automatically after you leave our site. We also use temporary, so-called comfort cookies to optimise the user-friendliness of the website, which are stored on your device for a specific period of time. If you visit our website again in order to use our services, it automatically identifies that you have already visited us and what entries and settings you have made, so that you do not have to input these again. These are usually deleted after a maximum of 30 days. Only ‘comfort cookies’ with language settings are stored for 365 days.

We also use cookies and pixel tags in third-party tools to statistically record the use of our website and analyse the use of our website for the purpose of optimising our offering for you (see under V). These analysis, tracking and targeting cookies allow us to automatically recognise that you have already visited us when you visit our website again. These cookies are deleted automatically after a defined period of time.

2. What is the legal basis for processing using cookies and pixel tags?
The legal basis for processing personal data using cookies and pixel tags depends on the category of cookies and pixel tags used. The use of cookies that are necessary to maintain the functions of the website are used by us to protect our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO; our legitimate interest is to offer a smoothly functioning and visually-appealing website. All other cookies that are not required to maintain the functions of the website are only used by us with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can give this consent via our cookie consent tool or revoke it at any time with effect for the future. You have the option of either agreeing to the use of all cookie categories individually tailoring your preferences.

V. Consent Management with OneTrust

Our website uses the consent management service OneTrust of 2020 OneTrust, LLC (Dixon House, 1 Lloyd's Avenue, London EC3N 3DQ, United Kingdom).

In this context, the date and time of the visit, browser information, consent information, device information and IP address of the requesting device are processed. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1. lit. f DSGVO (legitimate interest). Obtaining and managing legally required consents is considered a legitimate interest in the sense of the aforementioned provision, as the interference with the rights of users as a result of the use of anonymised IP addresses and the involvement of a service provider based in Germany is very low.

OneTrust stores consents and revocations on our behalf and on our instructions. The storage is based on Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Being able to comply with the accountability obligation pursuant to Art. 5 (2) DSGVO is a legitimate interest. Further information on data protection at OneTrust can be found here .

VI. Tracking and targeting

The tracking and targeting measures listed below and used by us are carried out if you have given us your consent for this (see above under IV. 2).

With the tracking measures used, we want to ensure a needs-based design and continuous optimisation of our website.

On the other hand, we use the tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website. Through the targeting measures used, we also want to ensure that you are only shown advertising on your end devices that is oriented to your actual or presumed interests.

The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the description of the corresponding tracking tools. You can revoke or adjust your consent at any time with effect for the future.

1. Adform
We use the online marketing tool Adform from Adform A/S, Wildersgade 10B, 1st sal. DK-1408 Copenhagen, Denmark.. Adform, as a so-called demand side platform, enables us to automate the purchase of advertising inventory and thereby use our advertising budget as efficiently as possible. When you click on an ad, Adform leaves cookies on your machine. Via the cookie ID, Adform records which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed to the same user more than once. In addition, Adform can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests, such as when a user clicks on an Adform ad and later visits the advertiser's website with the same browser and makes a purchase there. This allows us to improve campaign performance reports. Adform cookies do not contain any personal information such as email addresses, names or postal addresses.

We have entered into an order processing agreement with Adform. In it, Adform assures us that they will process the data in accordance with our instructions and ensure the protection of the data subject's rights. You can find more information about data protection at Adform here .

2. Adobe Media Optimizer
We use the Media Optimizer tool from the Adobe Advertising Cloud of Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited, 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Republic of Ireland.

If you click on an advertisement in a search engine, Adobe Media Optimizer sets cookies which are stored on your computer or other end device. The cookie IDs allow us to track conversions related to specific ads, such as when a user clicks on an ad in a search engine and later visits our website and makes a purchase. This enables us to improve the marketing of our website in the organic search results of internet search engines and thus increase the number of visitors to our website and the conversion rate. In the course of using Adobe Media Optimizer, data, such as in particular the IP address, order value and activities of the user, are transmitted to a server of Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited and stored there.

We have concluded an order processing agreement with Adobe. In it, Adobe assures us that they will process the data in accordance with our instructions and ensure the protection of the rights of the data subject. In the event personal data is transferred from Adobe to the USA, this is done on the basis of the standard data protection clauses of the European Commission in accordance with Art. 46 (2c) DSGVO. Adobe has also implemented extensive technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, damage, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access.

These Adobe measures are certified to the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 standard . For more information about Adobe's privacy practices, click here .

3. Channel Pilot
On this website, we use technologies from Channel Pilot Solutions GmbH, Überseeallee 1, 20457 Hamburg to collect and store data from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. These usage profiles help us analyse visitor behaviour to improve our website and ensure it’s tailored to the needs of our users. For this purpose, cookies can be used. The pseudonymised usage profiles are not directly combined with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym. Further information on data protection at Channel Pilot can be found here .

4. Epoq
On this website, we use technologies from Epoq Internet Services GmbH (www.epoq.de ) to collect and store data from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. These usage profiles facilitate the analysis of visitor behaviour to improve our website and ensure that it is tailored to the needs of users.

For this purpose, cookies can be used. The information produced is sent to a server in Germany, where it is stored. With the Epoq Engine, neither we nor the operator of the respective analysis tool can directly collect personal information which allows us to reveal the identity of the user.

Further information on data protection at Epoq can be found here. If you want to prevent pseudonymised usage profiles from being created in a web analysis, you can specify this via the settings in your browser. You can adjust the settings in your web browser so it informs you when cookies are placed or entirely refuses cookies. However, doing this may mean you are not able to use various services advertised on our website. Instructions on how to turn off cookies in your browser can be found within your browser's help page or here .

5. Facebook advertising
We use Facebook Website Custom Audiences from Facebook Ireland Limited (4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland). This is a marketing service provided by Facebook. It enables us to display individually tailored and interest-based advertising on Facebook to certain groups of pseudonymised visitors to our website who also use Facebook.

A Facebook Custom Audience pixel tag is integrated into our website. This is a Java script code that stores non-personal data about the use of the website. This includes your IP address, the browser used and the source and target pages. This information is transmitted to Facebook servers in the USA.

The transfer of this information to the USA is done so on the basis of the standard data protection clauses of the European Commission pursuant to Art. 46 (2c) DSGVO. Facebook has also implemented extensive technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, damage, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access.

The system automatically checks whether you have saved a Facebook cookie. The Facebook cookie is used to automatically determine whether you belong to the target group relevant to us. If you belong to the target group, you will be shown corresponding ads from us on Facebook. During this process, you will not be personally identified either by us or by Facebook through the matching of data.

You can object to the use of the Custom Audiences service on the Facebook website. After logging in to your Facebook account, you will be taken to the settings for Facebook ads.

If you do not have a Facebook account, you can prevent data from being sent to Facebook by clicking on this link . By clicking, a blocking cookie is created in the background to ensure this. No pop-up or similar will appear when the function is triggered.

You can revoke your consent at any time. This has the consequence that we may no longer continue the data processing described above, which is based on this consent, in the future.

You can find more information about Facebook's data protection in Facebook's privacy policy .

6. Google Marketing Platform
We use the Google Marketing Platform on our website, a web analytics and advertising service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter: "Google").

The service combines the Google products Google Analytics 360 Suite, Search Ads 360, Display & Video 360, Optimize 360, Tag Manager 360, Attribution 360 and Data Studio. In this context, pseudonymised usage profiles are created and cookies and pixel tags (see above under IV ) are used.

The information processed in this way about your use of this website such as

  • browser type/version,
  • operating system used,
  • referrer URL (the previously visited page),
  • host name of the accessing computer (IP address),
  • time of the server request,

as well as other information about the use of our website. The IP addresses are anonymised so an assignment to your person is not possible (IP masking).

We have concluded order processing agreements with Google for the use of the marketing platform. In these, Google assures that they process the data in accordance with our instructions and ensure the protection of the rights of the data subject. The information may be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf.

Note: The information generated by the cookie about the use of our website (e.g. IP address of the accessing computer, time of access, referrer URL and information about the browser and operating system used) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and processed there.

The USA are so-called unsafe third countries (see also corresponding section of this data protection declaration). This means that there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission for the USA. Your data is therefore not subject to a level of data protection in the USA comparable to that of the EU. Google does not currently offer any guarantees pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR that could compensate for this data protection deficit. Your data is therefore exposed to the risk of government access as described in section III. 1.

If you consent to processing by Google, you therefore consent at the same time to your data being transferred to the USA in accordance with Art. 49 (1) a DSGVO.

Further information on data protection in connection with the Google Marketing Platform can be found here .

a. Analytics 360 Suite
By using Google Analytics, Google processes the information on our behalf in order to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide us with further services associated with the use of the website and the Internet for the purposes of market research and demand-oriented design of these Internet pages.

We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation activated. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened 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 server in the USA and shortened there.

We have activated the advertising functions of Google Analytics. This generates reports on target groups, demographic characteristics such as age, gender and interests of site visitors, as well as on our marketing campaigns. The data for this comes from campaigns carried out via Google services, interest-based advertising from Google, the Google Display Network and visitor data from third-party providers. This does not directly reveal your identity to us. With the help of these reports, we can better evaluate user behaviour in connection with our online offers and optimise the addressing of target groups.

If you do not wish your user behaviour to be taken into account in these reports, you can deactivate this, for example, via the ad settings in your own Google account or prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics as described below. You can also limit the collection of data by not logging into your own Google account when you visit our website. We do not use the Universal Analytics with User ID offered by Google.

If necessary, the collected data will be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process the data on our behalf.

The user data collected via cookies is automatically deleted after 14 months.

Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found, for example, in the Google Analytics Help . Information on Google's use of data can be found in their privacy policy .

b. Google Optimize 360
Our website uses the web analysis and optimisation service "Google Optimize 360", which is provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter "Google Optimize").

We use Google Optimize to increase the attractiveness, content and functionality of our website by displaying new functions and content to a percentage of our users and statistically evaluating the change in usage. Google Optimize is a sub-service of Google Analytics (see section Google Analytics).

Google Optimize evaluates your use of our website in order to compile reports on optimisation tests and related website activities and to provide us with other services related to website and internet use.

c. DoubleClick Digital Marketing
Within the framework of DoubleClick Digital Marketing, information is collected and analysed in order to optimise advertising. The technologies used enable us to target you with individual interest-related advertising. For example, we record which of our content you were interested in. Based on this information, we can also show you offers on third-party sites that are specifically geared to your interests, as determined by your previous user behaviour. The collection and analysis of your user behaviour is exclusively pseudonymous and does not enable us to identify you.

You can also make settings for the display of interest-based advertising by DoubleClick Digital Marketing via Google's ad settings manager .

7. Google Ads (with remarketing)
We use Google Conversion Tracking and Remarketing Pixel from Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter: "Google") on our website.

The service enables us to design, statistically record, optimise and play out advertising content in line with demand. To ensure the visibility of our offer, we are dependent on such advertising content.

Google Ads installs a cookie on your computer if you have accessed our website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that you have clicked on the ad and have been redirected to this page. In addition, we use information about your use of this website that Google collects and analyses on our behalf (see here for more details). This enables us to target you on other websites with content that is relevant to you.

In addition, we use the remarketing pixel, which collects and evaluates information about your use of this website. This enables us to address you on other websites with content that is relevant to you. According to Google, the data collected during remarketing is not merged with personal data that may be stored by Google. Google also pseudonymises this data. Tag-based remarketing data is stored for 30 days.

Each Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across Ads customers' websites. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted in for conversion tracking. As an Ads client, we learn the total number of users who clicked on an ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information with which we can personally identify you.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as click behaviour on texts and products or interactions with videos, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The processing of personal data by Google in this regard takes place under Google's own responsibility based on the standard data protection clauses of the European Commission pursuant to Art. 46 (2c) DSGVO. Google has also implemented extensive technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, damage, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. These Google measures are certified in accordance with the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 standard . Google's privacy information can be found here .

8. Microsoft Advertising
We use Microsoft Bing Ads and Universal Event Tracking (UET) from the Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA (hereinafter: "Microsoft") on our website.

This service enables us to design, statistically record, optimise and play out advertising content according to demand. In order to ensure the visibility of our offerings, we are dependent on such advertising content.

Microsoft places a cookie on your computer if you have accessed our website via a Microsoft ad. These cookies expire after 13 months. Microsoft stores data on the use of the website (e.g. length of visit, which areas of the website were accessed and which ad you used to access our website) and, in the case of an order from this visit, the order value and time of the order.

In addition, we use Microsoft's UET, which collects and analyses information about your use of this website. This enables us to target you on other websites with content that is relevant to you. Microsoft uses this information to display interest-based advertising to users on websites and for its own purposes, such as improving Microsoft services and analysing performance. We use this information to learn which keyword or ad brought you to our site. The information collected by the UET is stored by Microsoft for 390 days. However, we do not receive any information that can identify you personally. If you have a Microsoft account, this information may be linked to your account. For example, Microsoft may recognise and store your IP address. In addition, Microsoft may be able to track your usage behaviour across several of your electronic devices through so-called cross-device tracking, which enables Microsoft to display personalised ads on or within Microsoft websites and apps. You can disable this at https://choice.microsoft.com/de-de/opt-out .

You can find information about this here and in Microsoft's privacy policy .

The use of cookies and the UET function is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

in order to establish a connection between a click by the user on an advertising medium or a display of an advertising medium (touchpoint) and action by the customer (e.g. a purchase in the online shop or a newsletter registration). At each touchpoint, the browser of the customer's end device sends an HTTP request to the Ingenious server, with which certain information is transmitted. This information includes the website URL on which the advertising material is placed (referrer URL) and, in some circumstances, together with the referrer URL, an individual click ID, the browser ID (user agent) of the end device (including information about the device type and operating system), the IP address of the end device (this IP address is anonymised by Ingenious before storage), HTTP header (data package with various technical information automatically transmitted by your browser), the time of the request and, if already stored on the end device, the cookie with its entire content.

13. billiger.de
This website uses technologies of

If you access our website via billiger.de and purchase a product, we transmit information about the purchased product. This can be the item name, the number of items, as well as the shopping basket value. For this purpose, a graphic pixel is used on the order confirmation page to track orders and for billing purposes. billiger.de stores information for this purpose in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to billiger.de. These are browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request and IP address. These server log files are automatically deleted after 30 days. The IP address is only stored by billiger.de in abbreviated form, which means that it's not possible to draw conclusions about the person. The graphic pixel generates a so-called 'referrer URL'. From this, billiger.de collects and stores the shop ID, order numbers and the total shopping cart value, in particular for billing purposes with the partner shop. We have concluded an order data processing agreement with billiger.de.

15. Advertising marketing
On our website, information about your surfing behaviour (so-called tracking data), among other things, is collected via the tracking instruments described in this section VI. if you have given your consent (see already above under IV. 2 d)). In addition, data about you is collected on this website when you create a customer account and/or purchase goods via this website (customer account/contract and processing data, see above in section II.5). Tracking data may be combined by us with other customer account/contract and settlement data (including via the injection of hashed email addresses, customer IDs into analytics tools such as Google Analytics and the combination of client IDs from analytics tools with other analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Adform).

This is to enable us to offer you more customised advertising and to enable us to better target our marketing spend.

The combined tracking data and customer account/contract and settlement data are only stored by us in pseudonymised form. Personal data such as your name, e-mail address, date of birth etc. are not processed as clear data.

Based on the pseudonymised data, we receive information about your behaviour and consumption preferences. No information on particularly sensitive data (e.g. political views, health, racial or ethnic origin) is formed and no such sensitive data is used in the context of forming preferences.

We may also use this information about your preferences to enable third parties (advertisers) to serve personalised advertisements to you on third-party websites (so-called "publishers"). In this case, the data will not be passed on to the advertisers or the website operators (publishers). Neither we nor the third parties are able to directly assign certain preferences to your person. Furthermore, a minimum number of persons (20 persons) for whom information on preferences is stored by the aforementioned companies must have the same preferences (K-anonymity). The legal basis for the data processing described above is your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) DSGVO. Insofar as you no longer wish to have tracking data collected across websites for the aforementioned purpose, you can revoke the consent you have given in this regard at any time via the consent management tool we use.
