16.2. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European privacy legislation (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
16.3. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the uptake of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offering, and to provide us with further services related to the use of this online offer and internet usage. In this case, pseudonymous user profiles of the processed data may be created.
16.4. We use Google Analytics to display advertisements from Google and its affiliate advertising services, to only those users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interest in specific topics or products that they use) Web pages) that we submit to Google (so-called “remarketing” or “Google Analytics audiences”). With remarketing audiences, we also want to make sure that our ads are in line with the potential interest of users and are not annoying.
16.5. We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymisation. This means that the IP address of the users 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 sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there.
16.6. The IP address submitted by the user’s browser will not be merged with other data provided by Google. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; users may also prevent the collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to its use of the online offer as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
16.7. For more information about Google’s data usage, hiring and opt-out options, please visit Google’s websites: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/partners (“Google’s use of your data when you use websites or apps our partners “), https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads (” Use of data for promotional purposes “), https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated (” Manage information that Google uses to show you advertising “).
17. Google Re/Marketing Services
17.1. On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of GDPR Article 6 (1) lit. f), we use the marketing and remarketing services (“Google Marketing Services “), LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, (” Google “).
17.2. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European privacy legislation (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
17.3. Google Marketing Services allows us to better target advertisements for and on our website so that we only present ads to users that potentially match their interests. Showing ads for products that a user been interested in on other websites is called remarketing. For these purposes, when Google and our other websites access Google Marketing Services, Google immediately recodes the tags which become so-called (re) marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as web beacons) incorporated into the website. With their help, the user is provided with an individual cookie on the device or a small file is saved (instead of cookies, comparable technologies can be used). Cookies can be set by different domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. In this file the websites the user visited are noted, as is the content in which they are interested and what offers they have clicked, as well as technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time and other information on the use of the online offer. The IP address of users is also recorded, whereby in the context of Google Analytics we announce that the IP address is shortened within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases to one Google server in the United States transferred and shortened there. The IP address will not be merged with data of the user within other offers from Google. The above information may also be linked by Google with such information from other sources. If the user then visits other websites, they may be displayed according to his interests, with the ads tailored to him.
17.4. The data of the users are anonymously processed in the context of the Google marketing services. This means Google stores and processes not the name or e-mail address of the users but processes the relevant data cookie-related within pseudonymous user profiles. That from the perspective of Google, the ads are not managed and displayed to a specifically identified person, but to the cookie owner, regardless of who that cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has explicitly allowed Google to process the data without this anonymisation. The information collected about users through Google Marketing Services is transmitted to Google and stored on Google’s servers in the United States.
17.5. Among the Google marketing services, we use is the online ad program “Google Ad s”. In the case of Google Ads, each Ads customer receives a different “conversion cookie”. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked through the websites of Ads customers. The information obtained through the cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Ads customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users.
17.6. In addition, we may use “Google Tag Manager” to integrate and manage the Google Analytics and Marketing Services on our website.
17.7. For more information about Google’s data usage for marketing purposes, visit the overview page: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads. Google’s Privacy Policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

18.3. With the help of the Facebook Pixel, it is possible for Facebook to determine the visitors to our online offer as a target group for the presentation of advertisements (so-called “Facebook ads”). Accordingly, we use the Facebook Pixel to display the Facebook Ads we produce only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain features (e.g. interests in certain topics or products visited by them), which we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to make sure that our Facebook ads are in line with the potential interest of users and are not annoying. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also understand the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes, in which we see whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “conversion”).
18.4. Processing of the data by Facebook is part of Facebook’s data usage policy. Accordingly, general notes on how to display Facebook Ads can be found here, in Facebook’s Data Usage Policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

19. Newsletter
19.1. The following information will inform you about the content of our Newsletters as well as the registration, dispatch and statistical evaluation procedures as well as your right of objection. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to the receive it and to the procedures described.
19.2. Content of the newsletter: We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications with advertising information (hereinafter called “newsletter”) only with the consent of the recipient or a legal permission. Insofar as the contents of a newsletter are circumscribed, they are significant to the consent of the users. Incidentally, our newsletters contain information about our products, offers, promotions and our company.
19.3. Double opt-in and logging: Registration for our newsletter is done in a so-called double opt-in procedure. I.e. after registration, you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with external email addresses. The registration for the newsletter will be logged in order to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the logon and the confirmation time, as well as the IP address. Likewise, changes to your data stored with the shipping service provider will be logged.
19.4. Shipping service providers: The newsletter is sent by “MailChimp”, a newsletter shipping platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE # 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. The privacy policy of the shipping service provider can be viewed here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/. The Rocket Science Group LLC is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European data protection standards (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG&status=Active).
19.5. Furthermore, the shipping service provider may, according to its own information, transmit these data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assignment to a user, to optimize or improve their own services, e.g. for the technical optimisation of the dispatch and the presentation of the newsletters or for statistical purposes to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, the shipping service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to store or copy them, or to pass them on to third parties.
19.6. Credentials: To subscribe to the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your e-mail address. Optionally, we ask you to give a name in the newsletter for personal address.
19.7. We use the plugin MailChimp for WooCommerce to link the success measurement of the online store with the newsletter data. Entries in the checkout process are already saved as they are entered and used for marketing purposes.
19.8. Measuring success – The newsletters contain a so-called “web-beacon”, i.e. a pixel-sized file, which is retrieved from the server of the shipping service provider when the newsletter is opened. As part of this process, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of the action are collected. This information is used to improve the technical performance of services based on their specifications or audience and their reading habits, based on their locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened, and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our endeavour nor that of the shipping service provider to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us in that they help us recognise the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
19.9. The dispatch of the newsletter and the measurement of success are based on the consent of the recipients according to GDPR Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. a, and GDPR Article 7 in connection with Section 7, Article 2, No. 3 of UWG (the Act Against Unfair Competition) or on the basis of the legal permission pursuant to UWG Section 7 Article 3.
19.10. The logging of the registration process is based on our legitimate interests in accordance with GDPR Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. f and serves as proof of consent to the receipt of the newsletter.
19.11. Termination / Revocation – Newsletter recipients may terminate the receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter at the end of each newsletter. At the same time, consent to success measurement expires. A separate cancellation of the performance measurement is unfortunately is not possible at present, instead the entire newsletter subscription must be cancelled. With the deregistration of newsletter, any personal data will be deleted, unless their retention is legally required or justified, in which case their processing is limited to these exceptions. In particular, we may save the e-mail addresses for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before we delete them: this is for purposes of sending out newsletters in order to provide evidence of previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defence against claims. An individual request for cancellation is possible at any time, provided that at the same time the former existence of a consent is confirmed.
20. Integration of services and content of third parties
20.1. Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of GDPR Article 6 (1) lit. f), we make use of content or services offered by third-party providers in order to provide their content and services. Services may include videos or fonts (collectively referred to as “content”). This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, since they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We endeavour to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the content. Third parties may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also referred to as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. These “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information, such as visitor traffic, on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may include, but is not limited to, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring web pages, visit time, and other information regarding the use of our online offer.
20.2. The following presentation provides an overview of third-party providers as well as their contents, as well as links to their data protection statements, which further notes on the processing of data and, for already mentioned here, contradictory possibilities (so-called opt-out clauses):
