4) Cookies
To make your visit to our website more enjoyable and to enable the use of certain features, we use cookies—small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser (so-called „session cookies“), while others remain on your device for a longer period and allow us to save page settings (so-called „persistent cookies“). In the latter case, you can find the storage duration in the overview of your web browser’s cookie settings.
If personal data is processed through individual cookies we use, such processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR for the purpose of performing a contract, in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR if consent has been given, or in accordance with Article 6( 1(f) of the GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in ensuring the best possible functionality of the website and a user-friendly and effective experience for visitors.

Please note that if you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.
5) Getting in Touch
5.1 WhatsApp Business
You can contact us via WhatsApp, a messaging service provided by WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. We use the so-called „Business version“ of WhatsApp for this purpose.
If you contact us via WhatsApp in connection with a specific transaction (such as a completed order), we will store and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp as well as—if provided—your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR to process and respond to your inquiry. Based on the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide additional data (order number, customer number, address, or email address) so that we can assign your inquiry to a specific transaction.
If you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (such as regarding our range of services, availability, or our website), we will store and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp as well as—if provided — your first and last names in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in providing the requested information efficiently and in a timely manner.
Your data will only ever be used to respond to your inquiry via WhatsApp. It will not be shared with third parties.
Please note that WhatsApp Business has access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transfers phone numbers stored in the address book to a server operated by our parent company, Meta Platforms Inc., in the United States. To operate our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device whose address book contains only the WhatsApp contact information of users who have actually contacted us via WhatsApp.
This ensures that any person whose WhatsAppcontact information is stored in our address book has, upon first using the app on their device, consented to the transfer of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR by accepting the WhatsApp Terms of Service. The transfer of data from users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.
For information on the purpose and scope of data collection, as well as the further processing and use of data by WhatsApp, and your related rights and privacy settings, please refer to WhatsApp’s Privacy Policy: https://www.whatsapp.com
We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider that protects the data of our website visitors and prohibits the disclosure of such data to third parties.
As part of the processing activities described above, data may be transferred to servers operated by Meta Platforms Inc. in the United States.
For data transfers to the United States, the provider has adhered to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with European data protection standards based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.
5.2 When you contact us (e.g., via the contact form or by email), personal data will be processed—solely for the purpose of handling and responding to your inquiry and only to the extent necessary for that purpose.
The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If your contact is aimed at entering into a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Your data will be deleted when the circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved, provided that no statutory retention requirements preclude such deletion.
6) Data Processing When Opening a Customer Account
In accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, personal data will continue to be collected and processed to the extent necessary when you provide it to us upon opening a customer account. You can find out which data is required to open an account by referring to the input fields on the corresponding form on our website.
You may delete your customer account at any time by sending a message to the address of the data controller listed above. After your customer account is deleted, your data will be deleted provided that all contracts concluded through it have been fully fulfilled, no statutory retention periods prevent this, and we no longer have a legitimate interest in continuing to store the data.
7) Data Processing for Order Fulfillment
7.1 To the extent necessary for the fulfillment of the contract for delivery and payment purposes, the personal data we collect will be disclosed to the contracted shipping company and the contracted financial institution in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

Otherwise, for the purpose of delivery in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, we will only disclose the recipient’s name and the delivery address to the provider. The data will only be disclosed to the extent necessary for the delivery of the goods. In this case, it is not possible to coordinate the delivery date with the provider in advance or to provide advance notice of delivery.
Consent may be revoked at any time, with future effect, by notifying the data controller identified above or the provider.

7.3 Use of Payment Service Providers (Payment Services)
- Apple Pay
If you choose the „Apple Pay“ payment method offered by Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing is handled via the „Apple Pay“ feature on your iOS, watchOS, or macOS device by charging a payment card stored with „Apple Pay.“ Apple Pay uses security features built into your device’s hardware and software to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must therefore enter a code you have previously set and verify your identity using your device’s „Face ID“ or „Touch ID“ feature.
For the purpose of processing your payment, the information you provide during the ordering process, along with the details of your order, will be transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data using a developer-specific key before transmitting it to the payment service provider associated with the payment card stored in Apple Pay to process the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment is made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm that the payment was successful.
If personal data is processed in connection with the transfers described above, such processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
Apple stores anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was completed successfully. Anonymization completely prevents the data from being linked to any specific individual. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve „Apple Pay“ and other Apple products and services.
When you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase you made through Safari on your Mac, your Mac and the authorization device communicate via an encrypted channel through Apple’s servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that could be used to identify you personally. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone’s Settings. Go to „Wallet & Apple Pay" and turn off „Allow Payments on Mac.".

- Google Pay
If you choose the „Google Pay“ payment method offered by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland („Google“), payment processing will be handled through the „Google Pay“ app on your mobile device—which must be running at least Android 4.4 („KitKat“) and equipped with NFC functionality, by charging a payment card stored in Google Pay or a payment system verified there (e.g., PayPal). To authorize a payment via Google Pay exceeding 25,- €, you must first unlock your mobile device using the verification method set up on your device (such as facial recognition, a password, a fingerprint, or a pattern).
For the purpose of processing your payment, the information you provided during the ordering process, along with the details of your order, will be shared with Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay to the originating website in the form of a one-time transaction number, which verifies that the payment has been made. This transaction number does not contain any information regarding the actual payment details of the payment method stored in Google Pay; rather, it is generated and transmitted as a one-time valid numerical token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google acts solely as an intermediary in processing the payment. The transaction is carried out exclusively between the user and the originating website by debiting the payment method stored in Google Pay.
If personal data is processed in connection with the transfers described above, such processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
Google reserves the right to collect, store, and analyze certain transaction-specific information for every transaction made through Google Pay. This includes the date, time, and amount of the transaction; the merchant’s location and description; a description of the goods or services purchased provided by the merchant; photos you have attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or the sender and recipient, the payment method used, your description of the reason for the transaction, and, if applicable, the offer associated with the transaction.
According to Google, this processing is carried out exclusively in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, based on the legitimate interest in proper accounting, the verification of transaction data, and the optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.
Google also reserves the right to combine the processed transaction data with additional information that Google collects and stores when you use other Google services.

To safeguard our legitimate interest in determining our customers’ creditworthiness, we forward this data to the provider in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR for the purpose of a credit check. Based on the personal data you have provided, as well as additional data (such as your shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, and payment history), the provider assesses whether the payment method you have selected can be granted in light of the risks of non-payment and/or bad debt.
In addition to the provider’s internal criteria pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, identity and creditworthiness information from the following credit bureaus may also be taken into account when making a decision as part of the application review:

To the extent that score values are included in the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical method. The calculation of the score values takes into account, among other things, but not exclusively, address data.

- PayPal Checkout
This website uses PayPal Checkout, an online payment system from PayPal that combines PayPal's own payment methods with local payment methods from third-party providers.
When paying via PayPal, credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal, or—if offered—„Pay Later“ via PayPal, we will forward your payment information to PayPal (Europe) S.a.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter „PayPal"). This transfer is made in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR and only to the extent necessary for payment processing.
For the payment methods „Credit Card via PayPal,“ “Direct Debit via PayPal,” or—if offered—“Pay Later via PayPal,” PayPal reserves the right to perform a credit check. For this purpose, your payment data may be shared with credit bureaus in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, based on PayPal’s legitimate interest in determining your creditworthiness. PayPal uses the result of the credit check—specifically, the statistical probability of payment default—to determine whether to make the respective payment method available. The credit report may contain probability values (so-called “score values”). To the extent that score values are included in the credit report’s results, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical method. The calculation of these score values includes, among other things but not exclusively, address data. You may object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to PayPal. However, PayPal may still be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for the contractual processing of payments.

8) Web analytics services
8.1 Google Analytics 4
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), which enables us to analyze your use of our website.
By default, when you visit the website, Google Analytics 4 sets cookies, which are small text files stored on your device that collect certain information. This information includes your IP address; however, Google truncates the last few digits of your IP address to prevent direct identification of individuals.
The information is transmitted to Google's servers and processed there. This may also involve transfers to Google LLC, which is headquartered in the United States.
Google uses the information collected on our behalf to analyze your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for us, and provide other services related to website and internet usage. The truncated IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data held by Google. The data collected through the use of Google Analytics 4 is stored for a period of two months and then deleted.
All processing described above, in particular the placement of cookies on the device you are using, takes place only if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.
Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the site. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right to revoke consent, please disable this service using the „Cookie Consent Tool“ provided on the website.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google that ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits its unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
For more legal information about Google Analytics 4, please visit https://business.safety.google
Demographic Characteristics
Google Analytics 4 uses the special „demographic characteristics“ feature and can use it to generate statistics that provide insights into the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. This is done by analyzing advertisements and information from third-party providers. This allows target audiences to be identified for marketing activities. However, the collected data cannot be linked to any specific individual and is deleted after being stored for a period of two months.
Google Signals
As an extension of Google Analytics 4, Google Signals can be used on this website to generate cross-device reports. If you have enabled personalized ads and linked your devices to your Google Account, Google may—subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR—analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including those related to cross-device conversions. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you wish to stop cross-device analysis, you can disable the "Personalized Ads" feature in your Google Account settings. To do so, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com
For more information about Google Signals, please visit the following link: https://support.google.com
User IDs
As an extension to Google Analytics 4, the "UserIDs" feature can be used on this website. If you have consented to the use of Google Analytics 4 in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, have set up an account on this website, and log in to that account on different devices, your activities—including conversions—can be analyzed across devices.
For data transfers to the United States, the provider has joined the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with European data protection standards based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.
8.2 IONOS WebAnalytics
Diese Website nutzt den Webanalysedienst des folgenden Anbieters: IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Deutschland
Using cookies and/or similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including information about the device used—such as the IP address and browser information—in order to evaluate it for statistical analyses of usage behavior on our website and to create pseudonymized usage profiles. Among other things, this enables the analysis of navigation patterns (so-called heat maps), which show the duration of page visits as well as interactions with page content (e.g., text entries, scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs). Pseudonymization fundamentally precludes direct personal identification. There is no merging of this data with personally identifiable information collected about you through other means.
All processing described above—in particular, the retrieval or storage of information on the device you are using—will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the „Cookie Consent Tool“ provided on the website.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with the service provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits its unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
9) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking
Pinterest Retargeting Pixel
This website uses retargeting technology provided by the following vendor: Pinterest Europe Ltd., Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland
This allows us to target visitors to our website with personalized, interest-based advertising who have already shown an interest in our store and our products. The display of these advertisements is based on a cookie-based analysis of past and current usage behavior.
When retargeting technology is used, a cookie is stored on your computer or mobile device to collect pseudonymized data about your interests and thereby tailor advertisements to the stored information. These cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device. This allows us to display advertisements that are highly likely to match your product and information interests.
All processing described above—in particular, the use of cookies to read information from the device you are using—will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Without this consent, retargeting technology will not be used during your visit to the site.
You may revoke your consent at any time, effective for the future. To revoke your consent, please disable this service using the „Cookie Consent Tool“ provided on the website.
10) Page Features
10.1 Pinterest Plugins
Our website uses plugins from the social network operated by the following provider: Pinterest Europe Ltd., Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland
These plugins allow for direct interaction with content on the social network.
To enhance the protection of your data when you visit our website, the plugins are initially disabled and integrated into the page using a so-called „2-click“ or „Shariff“ solution.
This integration ensures that when a page on our website that contains such plugins is accessed, no connection is yet established with the provider's servers.
Only when you activate the plugins—and thereby give your consent to the data transfer in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR—will your browser establish a direct connection to the provider’s servers. In doing so, regardless of whether you are logged into an existing user profile, certain information about the device you are using (including your IP address), your browser, and your browsing history is transmitted to the provider and may be further processed there.
If you are logged into an existing user profile on the provider's social network, information about interactions carried out via the plugins will also be published there and displayed to your contacts.
You can revoke your consent at any time by clicking the plugin again to deactivate it. However, revoking your consent does not affect the data that has already been transmitted to the provider.
Data may also be transferred to: Pinterest Inc., USA
We have entered into a data processing agreement with the service provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits its unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
For the transfer of data to the United States, the provider relies on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses, which are intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards.
10.2 Our website incorporates graphic elements from the following provider to display external customer reviews and/or an externally awarded quality seal: Trustindex Ltd, Nyari Pal utca 15, 2724 Ujlengyel, Hungary.
When you visit a page on our website that contains such graphic elements, your browser establishes a direct connection to the provider’s servers in order to load the elements properly. In the process, certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.
If personal data is processed in this context, it is done in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in optimally marketing our offerings and designing an appealing website.
10.3 Google Web Fonts
This site uses so-called web fonts from the following provider to ensure consistent font display: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland
When you visit a page, your browser loads the necessary web fonts into its cache to display text and fonts correctly, and establishes a direct connection to the provider’s servers. In the process, certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.
Data may also be transferred to: Google LLC, USA
The processing of personal data in connection with establishing a connection with the font provider will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

10.4 - Google reCAPTCHA
On this website, we use the CAPTCHA service provided by the following company: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland
Data may also be transferred to: Google LLC, USA.
„Google Fonts"—fonts downloaded from the Internet via Google—are used to style the CAPTCHA window. No information other than that mentioned above, which is already transmitted to Google via the reCAPTCHA functionality, is processed in this context.
The service checks whether an input is made by a human or is the result of abusive, automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks, and similar automated malicious access attempts. To ensure that an action is performed by a human and not by an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the device used, identification data regarding the browser and operating system types used, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits this information to the provider’s servers for evaluation. Cookies—small text files stored in the end device’s browser—may be used for this purpose.
If the processing described above is based on cookies, these will only be set if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect by disabling this service in the „Cookie Consent Tool“ provided on the website.
If the processing described above is carried out without the use of cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in establishing individual accountability on the Internet and preventing misuse and spam, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits its unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

10.5 Google Photos
Diese Website nutzt für die Einbindung und Anzeige von Lichtbildern den Bilderdienst „Google Photos“ der Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland (nachfolgend: „Google“).
Google Photos selbst speichert keine Informationen auf Nutzerendgeräten oder liest diese aus. Auch nimmt der Dienst keine eigenständigen Datenanalysen vor.

Diese Verarbeitung wird nur dann vollzogen, wenn Sie uns gemäß Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO dazu Ihre ausdrückliche Einwilligung erteilt haben. Ohne diese Einwilligungserteilung werden Bilddateien über Google Photos nicht geladen.
Sie können Ihre erteilte Einwilligung jederzeit mit Wirkung für die Zukunft widerrufen. Um Ihren Widerruf auszuüben, deaktivieren Sie diesen Dienst bitte in dem auf der Webseite bereitgestellten „Cookie-Consent-Tool“. Wir haben mit Google einen Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag abgeschlossen, mit dem Google verpflichtet wird, die Daten unserer Seitenbesucher zu schützen und sie nicht an Dritte weiter zu geben.

11) Tools and Miscellaneous
Cookie Consent Tool
This website uses a so-called „cookie consent tool“ to obtain valid user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The „cookie consent tool“ is displayed to users when they visit the site in the form of an interactive user interface, where they can grant consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking the appropriate boxes. When the tool is used, all cookies and services requiring consent are loaded only if the user grants the appropriate consent by checking the corresponding boxes. This ensures that such cookies are set on the user’s device only if consent has been granted.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this process.
If, in individual cases, the processing of personal data (such as the IP address) does occur for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, such processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and, consequently, in the legally compliant design of our website.
Another legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. As the data controller, we are legally obligated to make the use of non-technically necessary cookies contingent upon the user’s consent.
Where necessary, we have entered into a data processing agreement with the service provider to ensure the protection of our website visitors' data and to prohibit its unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
For more information about the operator and the settings options for the cookie consent tool, please refer directly to the corresponding user interface on our website.

13) Retention Period for Personal Data
The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing, and—where applicable—the respective statutory retention period (e.g., retention periods under commercial and tax law).
When processing personal data based on explicit consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, the data in question will be stored until you withdraw your consent.
If there are statutory retention periods for data processed in connection with contractual or quasi-contractual obligations pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, such data is routinely deleted upon expiration of the retention periods, provided that it is no longer necessary for the performance or initiation of a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in continuing to store it.
When processing personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
Unless otherwise specified in the other information contained in this statement regarding 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.
