We use session cookies to store the contents of the shopping cart and permanent cookies to save the login status.
12.3. Processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b (Execution of order processes) and c (Archiving required by law) GDPR. The information marked as required is required to justify and fulfill the contract. We only disclose the data to third parties within the scope of delivery, payment or within the scope of legal permits and obligations towards legal advisers and authorities. The data will only be processed in third countries if this is necessary to fulfill the contract (e.g. at the customer’s request for delivery or payment).

The user accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. If users have terminated their user account, their data with regard to the user account will be deleted, subject to their retention for commercial or tax law reasons in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR necessary. Information in the customer account remains until it is deleted with subsequent archiving in the event of a legal obligation. It is the responsibility of the users to back up their data if the termination is successful before the end of the contract.

GDPR, whereby the data subjects include customers, interested parties, business partners, visitors and users of the online offer.

The analyzes help us to increase user-friendliness, optimize our offer and business efficiency. The analyzes serve us alone and are not disclosed externally unless they are anonymous analyzes with summarized values.
13.2. If these analyzes or profiles are personal, they will be deleted or anonymized upon termination of the user, otherwise after two years from the conclusion of the contract. In addition, the overall business analyzes and general trend determinations are created anonymously if possible.
2. A customer’s creditworthiness may be checked if there is otherwise a risk of default, i.e. if the goods are delivered without payment being received (i.e. if the customer chooses to purchase on account). However, there is no risk of default if the customer e.g. choose the option prepayment or payment via third party providers, e.g. Paypal carries out.
It should also be noted that obtaining automatic credit information is an “automated decision in individual cases” according to Art. 22 GDPR, i.e. represents a legal decision without human involvement. This is permissible if the customer has consented or this decision is necessary for the conclusion of the contract. Whether the decision is necessary has not yet been conclusively clarified, but is often taken for granted, including by the author of this sample. However, if you want to rule out any risk, you should get your consent.
Consent is also necessary if the credit check is already being used to decide whether the option “on account” should be shown. Because it could have been that the customer would have opted for the advance payment or PayPal and the credit check would not have been necessary.
Such consent could e.g. read as follows:
I agree that a credit check will be carried out in order to decide in an automated process (Art. 22 GDPR) whether the option of purchase on account is offered. Further information on the credit check, the credit bureaus used and the procedure as well as the possibilities of objection can be found in our data protection declaration.
14. Credit information

If we make advance payments (e.g. when purchasing on account), we reserve the right to obtain information on identity and creditworthiness in order to safeguard legitimate interests in order to assess credit risk based on mathematical-statistical methods from specialized service providers (credit reporting agencies).
14.2. As part of the credit check, we transmit the following personal data of the customer (name, postal address, date of birth, information on the type of contract, bank details [please provide additional data if necessary]) to the following credit reporting agencies:

14.3. We process the information received from the credit bureaus on the statistical probability of a payment default as part of an appropriate discretionary decision regarding the establishment, implementation and termination of the contractual relationship. We reserve the right to refuse payment on account or any other advance payment in the event of a negative result of the credit check.
14.4. The decision as to whether we make advance payment is made in accordance with Art. 22 GDPR solely on the basis of an automated decision in individual cases, which our software makes on the basis of information from the credit agency.
14.5 If we obtain express consent from you, the legal basis for the credit check and the transmission of the customer’s data to the credit agencies is consent in accordance with. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, 7 GDPR. If no consent is obtained, our legitimate interests in the reliability of your payment claim are the legal basis in accordance with. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR.

17.2 Unless otherwise stated in our data protection declaration, we process the data of the users provided that they communicate with us within the social networks and platforms, e.g. Write articles on our online presence or send us messages.
17.3. We use Google Analytics to display the advertisements placed by Google and its partners’ advertising services only to those users who have shown an interest in our online offer or the specific characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products based on the visited Websites determined) which we transmit to Google (so-called “remarketing” or “Google Analytics audiences”). With the help of remarketing audiences, we would also like to ensure that our advertisements correspond to the potential interest of the users and are not annoying.
18. Google Analytics
18.1. We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”), based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by the user is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
18.2. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
18.3. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offer and to provide us with other services related to the use of this online offer and the internet. Pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.
18.4 We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. 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. The full IP address is only transferred to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there in exceptional cases.
18.5. The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser is not merged with other Google data. The users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; Users can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the online offer and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
18.6. You can find more information on the use of data by Google, setting and objection options on the Google website: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners (“Use of data by Google when you use websites or apps our partners”), https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads (“Data usage for advertising purposes”), https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated (“Manage information that Google uses to show you advertising “).
19. Google Re / Marketing Services
19.1. On the basis of our legitimate interests (ie interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. GDPR), we use the marketing and remarketing services (short “Google Marketing Services ”) Of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, (“Google”).
19.2. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
19.3. The Google Marketing Services allow us to display advertisements for and on our website in a more targeted manner in order to only present users with ads that potentially correspond to their interests. If a user e.g. Showing ads for products that he was interested in on other websites is referred to as “remarketing”. For these purposes, when you visit our and other websites on which Google marketing services are active, Google directly executes a code from Google and so-called (re) marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also as “web Beacons “) in the website. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file is saved (comparable technologies can be used instead of cookies). The cookies can be set by different domains, among others by google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. This file notes which websites the user visits, what content he is interested in and which offers he has clicked on, as well as technical information on the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information on the use of the online offer. The IP address of the users is also recorded, whereby we inform Google Analytics that the IP address is shortened within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases entirely to one Google servers in the USA and shortened there. The IP address is not merged with user data within other Google offers. The above-mentioned information can also be linked by Google to such information from other sources. If the user then visits other websites, the advertisements tailored to his interests can be displayed.
19.4. The data of the users are processed pseudonymously within the scope of the Google marketing services. I.e. Google stores and processes e.g. not the name or email address of the user, but processes the relevant data cookie-related within pseudonymous user profiles. I.e. From Google’s perspective, the ads are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie holder, regardless of who this cookie holder is. This does not apply if a user has expressly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The information collected by Google Marketing Services about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google’s servers in the United States.
19.5. The Google marketing services we use include the online advertising program “Google AdWords”. In the case of Google AdWords, each AdWords customer receives a different “conversion cookie”. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
19.6. We can incorporate third-party advertisements based on the Google marketing service “DoubleClick”. DoubleClick uses cookies that enable Google and its partner websites to place ads based on users’ visits to this website or other websites on the Internet.
19.7. We can incorporate third-party advertisements based on the Google marketing service “AdSense”. AdSense uses cookies that enable Google and its partner websites to place ads based on users’ visits to this website or other websites on the Internet.
19.8. We can also use the “Google Optimizer” service. Google Optimizer allows us to understand how various changes to a website affect (e.g. changes to the input fields, design, etc.) as part of so-called “A / B testing”. Cookies are stored on users’ devices for these test purposes. Only pseudonymous user data is processed.
19.9. We can also use the “Google Tag Manager” to integrate and manage the Google analysis and marketing services in our website.
19.10. Further information on the use of data by Google for marketing purposes can be found on the overview page: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads, Google’s privacy policy can be found at
19.11. If you want to object to interest-based advertising by Google Marketing Services, you can use the setting and opt-out options provided by Google: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.
Furthermore, when using the Facebook pixel, we use the additional function “extended comparison” (data such as telephone numbers, email addresses or Facebook IDs of the users) for the formation of target groups (“Custom Audiences” or “Look Alike Audiences”) Facebook (encrypted) transmitted. Further information on the “extended comparison”: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/611774685654668).
We also use the “Custom Audiences from File” procedure of the social network Facebook, Inc. In this case, the email addresses of the newsletter recipients are uploaded to Facebook. The upload process is encrypted. The upload is only used to determine recipients of our Facebook ads. We want to make sure that the ads are only shown to users who are interested in our information and services.
Note on opt-out: Please note that Facebook does not offer an opt-out at the time of creating this sample and you have to implement it yourself. If you do not do this, you must remove this passage. The implementation can e.g. using Javascript (setting the opt-out link) and loading the page via PHP (which checks whether the opt-out cookie has been set and only loads the Facebook pixel if the result is negative). If a user visits the website, it must be checked whether the “opt-out” cookie is set. If so, the “Facebook pixel” must not be loaded.
20. Facebook, Custom Audiences and Facebook Marketing Services
20.1. Due to our legitimate interests in analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer and for these purposes, our online offer includes the so-called “Facebook pixel” of the social network Facebook, which is provided by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025 , USA, or if you are based in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland is operated (“Facebook”).
20.2. Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).
20.3. With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able, on the one hand, to determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “Facebook ads”). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to only display the Facebook ads placed by us to those Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products that are based on the visited Websites determined) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called “custom audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we would also like to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not have a nuisance. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also understand the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes, by seeing whether users were forwarded to our website after clicking on a Facebook advertisement (so-called “conversion”).
20.4. The processing of the data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook’s data usage guidelines. Accordingly, general information on the display of Facebook ads in the data usage guidelines of Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. Special information and details about the Facebook pixel and how it works can be found in the help section of Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.
20.5. You can object to the recording by the Facebook pixel and the use of your data to display Facebook ads. To set which types of advertisements are displayed to you on Facebook, you can call up the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions on the settings for usage-based advertising there: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings are platform independent, i.e. they are adopted for all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.
20.6. You can also use cookies that are used for range measurement and advertising purposes via the deactivation page of the network advertising initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and also on the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).
21. Facebook social plugins
21.1. On the basis of our legitimate interests (ie interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. GDPR), we use social plugins (“plugins”) from the social network facebook.com, which operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). The plugins can represent interaction elements or content (eg videos, graphics or text contributions) and can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on a blue tile, the terms “Like”, “Like” or a “thumbs up” sign ) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. The list and the appearance of the Facebook social plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
21.2. Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).
21.3. When a user calls up a function of this online offer that contains such a plugin, his device establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted from Facebook directly to the user’s device, which integrates it into the online offer. User profiles of the users can be created from the processed data. We therefore have no influence on the scope of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore informs the users according to our knowledge.
21.4 By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has called up the corresponding page of the online offer. If the user is logged into Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to their Facebook account.
