Unless otherwise specified below, providing your personal information is neither required by law nor by contract, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not required to provide any personal data. If you do not provide your personal data, it has no consequences whatsoever. This applies only insofar as no other information is provided in subsequent processing operations. "Personal Data" means any information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Each time you access our website, usage data is transmitted through your Internet browser and stored in log data files (server log files).

This data is used solely to ensure error-free operation of our Website and to improve our offers. An assignment of this data to a specific person is not possible.
Collection and Processing Using the Contact Form

Collection, Processing, Use and Processing of Personal Data when Submitting Orders
When you submit an order, we collect and use your personal data only to the extent necessary to fulfil and process your order and your requests. Providing data is required to complete the contract. If you do not provide the required data, it means that no contract can be concluded. Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR and is required to fulfil a contract with you. Without your express consent, there is no transfer of your data to a third party. Only our service partners are excluded from this, because we need the data to process the contractual relationship or service providers whom we serve in the context of further processing the order. In addition to the recipients named in the respective clauses of this privacy policy, these include, for example, recipients of the following categories: shipping service providers, payment service providers, merchandise management service providers, order processing service providers, Web hosting providers, IT service providers, drop shipping retailers, or tax consultants. In every case, we strictly adhere to legal requirements. The amount of data transmission is limited to a minimum.
Use of Your E-mail Address for Sending Newsletters
Regardless of the contract, if you have expressly consented to this service, we use your e-mail address to send you newsletters solely for our own advertising purposes. Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR with your consent. You may revoke your consent at any time by notifying us without affecting the legality of data processing that took place from the time of your initial consent to the time of revocation. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by using the corresponding link in the newsletter or by notifying us. Your e-mail address will then be removed from the mailing list.
Your data will be passed on to a service provider for e-mail marketing as part of order processing. A transfer to other third parties does not take place.

Using Google Adwords Conversion Tracking
We use the online advertising program "Google AdWords" on our website and, in this context, conversion tracking (visit evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google").
When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie will be placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, contain no personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not expired, both we and Google may recognize that you have clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Thus, there is no way that cookies can be tracked through the websites of advertisers.
The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, we do not receive any information that personally identifies users.
Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR from the legitimate interest in targeted advertising and the analysis of the impact and efficiency of this advertising.
For reasons arising from your particular situation, based on Art. 6 (1) of the GDPR, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you.
You can prevent cookies from being stored by selecting appropriate technical settings in your browser software. We point out, however, that in this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of our website in full and you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
You can also opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings. For instructions, see support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en
In addition, you can disable the use of third-party cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative deactivation page at www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the opt-out information listed there.

The Use of Facebook Remarketing
We use Facebook's remarketing feature "Custom Audiences" on our website (1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, "Facebook").

For this purpose, the Facebook remarketing tag was implemented on our website. Now, when you visit the website, you will be connected directly to the Facebook servers. This data is then transmitted to the Facebook server to identify which of our websites you have visited and Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. When you visit the Facebook social network, you will then see personalized, interest-based Facebook ads. Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR from legitimate interest in the above purpose.
For reasons arising from your particular situation, based on Art. 6 (1) of the GDPR, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you. You can disable the remarketing feature "Custom Audiences" here. To do this, you must be logged in to Facebook.
