Google Campaign Manager

This website also uses the online marketing tool Campaign Manager from Google, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The Campaign Manager uses cookies to display ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent users from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once. In addition, Campaign Manager can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a Campaign Manager ad and later visits the website of the advertising company with the same browser and makes a purchase.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of the Campaign Manager, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, there is a possibility that Google will learn and store your IP address.

In addition, the Campaign Manager cookies used (e.g. referred to as DoubleClick or Floodlight) enable us to understand whether you perform certain actions on our website after accessing or clicking on one of our display/video ads on Google or on another platform via the Campaign Manager (conversion tracking). Campaign Manager uses this cookie to understand the content you have interacted with on our websites in order to later send you targeted advertising.

The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and 25 para. 1 TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

You can find more information about Campaign Manager at https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/enterprise/ and about data protection at Google in general: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Google has submitted to the Data Privacy Framework Program and is certified: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/.

Google Display & Video 360

On this website we use the tool Display & Video 360 of Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, which collects data for analysis, marketing and optimization purposes and thereby helps us to improve our marketing measures, our website.

The data collected is used by Display & Video 360 to link advertising contacts and clicks on advertisements with a resulting use of our website. In this way, we can determine whether Internet users who have seen our ads visit our website or which products they are interested in. This helps us to use our advertising budget more efficiently. The data collected may also be used by us to deliver advertising based on your interests (e.g. products viewed).
Pseudonymous online identification numbers (such as cookie IDs or IP addresses) are used for data collection. No unique user-related data such as name or address is stored. All IDs used by us only enable the recognition of your terminal device and your internet browser. The collected data will not be used by us to personally identify you as a user of our website without your separate consent.

We would like to point out that for users who have registered with Google, Google may link the visit to this website with the registered data.

3.7.4 Analysis

CleverReach and Klaviyo

Our customer information and newsletters sent with CleverReach and Klaviyo allow us to analyze the behavior of recipients. We use these capabilities to improve your shopping experience by sending you customized advertising that is more useful and relevant to you.

CleverReach can be used to analyze, among other things, how many recipients have opened a message and how often which link was clicked. With the help of so-called conversion tracking, it can also be analyzed whether a predefined action (e.g. purchase of a product on this website) has taken place after clicking on a link. For more information on data analysis through CleverReach newsletters, please visit:
https://www.cleverreach.com/de/funktionen/reporting-und-tracking/.

When you open an e-mail sent with Klaviyo, a file contained in the e-mail (so-called web-beacon) connects to Klaviyo's servers in the USA. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. In addition, technical information is recorded (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. For more information on data analysis by Klaviyo, please visit: https://www.klaviyo.com/features/reporting. Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.klaviyo.com/legal/dpa

Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

If you do not want any analysis by CleverReach or Klaviyo, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in each newsletter message.

After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if necessary, to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest. For more details, please refer to the data protection provisions of CleverReach at: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/ and Klaviyo at https://www.klaviyo.com/legal/privacy-notice.

We use MentionMe to provide the Refer-a-friend programme on our website. Users can recommend our services to their friends. The provider is Mention Me Limited, 20-22 Wenlock Road, London, N1 7GU, United Kingdom.
The provider processes content data (e.g. entries in online forms), contact data (e.g. email addresses, telephone numbers), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses) and master data (e.g. names, addresses) in the United Kingdom.

Mention Me offers a referral marketing solution that allows customers to recommend our products to their friends via various communication channels, such as sharing a link. For this purpose, the referrer (recommender) enters their own name and e-mail address on the website and is then sent a link that they can share with friends for the purpose of recommendation. Both the referrer and the referee (the recommended person) then receive a reward for the recommendation, provided that the referee has made use of the forwarded offer.

We will share selected data from you (email address, name and order details) in encrypted, pseudonymised form with Mention Me so that you can participate in our ‘customer referral programme’. This allows us to later determine which and how many existing customers have referred a new customer and who receives a reward for their recommendation.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Processing takes place on the basis of consent.

For business reasons and in order to be able to recognize market trends, wishes of contractual partners and users, we analyze the data we have on business transactions, contracts, inquiries, etc., whereby the group of persons concerned may include contractual partners, interested parties, customers, visitors and users of our online offer.

The analyses are carried out for the purpose of business evaluations, marketing and market research (e.g. to determine customer groups with different characteristics). In doing so, we may, if available, take into account the profiles of registered users together with their details, e.g. on services used. The analyses serve us alone and are not disclosed externally, unless they are anonymous analyses with summarized, i.e. anonymized values. Furthermore, we take into account the privacy of users and process the data for analysis purposes as pseudonymously as possible and, if feasible, anonymously (e.g., as summarized data).

3.10 Payment service providers

In the context of contractual and other legal relationships, due to legal obligations or otherwise on the basis of our legitimate interests, we offer data subjects efficient and secure payment options and use other payment service providers in addition to banks and credit institutions for this purpose (collectively, "payment service providers").

The data processed by the payment service providers includes inventory data, such as the name and address, bank data, such as account numbers or credit card numbers, passwords, TANs and checksums, as well as the contract, total and recipient-related information. The information is required in order to carry out the transactions. However, the data entered is only processed by the payment service providers and stored with them. I.e., we do not receive any account or credit card related information, but only information with confirmation or negative information of the payment. Under certain circumstances, the payment service providers transmit the data to credit agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to check identity and creditworthiness. In this regard, we refer to the terms and conditions and the privacy notices of the payment service providers.

For payment transactions, the terms and conditions and data protection notices of the respective payment service providers apply, which can be accessed within the respective websites or transaction applications. We also refer to these for the purpose of further information and assertion of revocation, information and other data subject rights.

Our security measures are subject to a continuous improvement process and our data protection statements are constantly being revised. Please make sure that you have the latest version.

3.13 Data exchange within the group

Your order data will be made available to the group companies if necessary for the processing of the contract.
