Trusted Shops Widget
To display Trusted Shops services (e.g., trustmarks, collected reviews) and to offer Trusted Shops products to buyers after an order, Trusted Shops widgets are integrated on this website. This serves our legitimate interests, which outweigh your interests, in optimal marketing by enabling secure shopping in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are offered by Trusted Shops AG, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne, Germany ("Trusted Shops"), with whom we are jointly responsible for data protection in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. In the following, we inform you about the essential contractual content in accordance with Art. 26 Para. 2 GDPR within the framework of this privacy notice.
Within the framework of the joint responsibility between us and Trusted Shops, please contact Trusted Shops preferably with any data protection questions and to assert your rights, using the contact options provided in their privacy policy. However, you are always free to contact the responsible party of your choice. If necessary, your inquiry will then be forwarded to the other responsible party for a response.
The Trustbadge is provided by a US-based CDN (Content Delivery Network) provider. An adequate level of data protection is ensured through standard data protection clauses and other contractual measures.
When the Trustbadge is accessed, the web server automatically saves a server log file containing your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data), thus documenting the access. The IP address is anonymized immediately after collection, so the stored data cannot be associated with you personally. The anonymized data is used primarily for statistical purposes and error analysis.
After completing your order, order information (order total, order number, and, if applicable, the purchased product) as well as your email address, hashed using a cryptographic one-way function, will be transmitted to Trusted Shops. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This serves to verify whether you are already registered for services with Trusted Shops and is therefore necessary for the fulfillment of our and Trusted Shops' overriding legitimate interests in providing buyer protection and transactional review services linked to the specific order, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If this is the case, further processing will take place in accordance with the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops. If you are not yet registered for the services, you will subsequently have the opportunity to do so for the first time. Further processing after successful registration is also governed by the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops. If you do not register, all transmitted data will be automatically deleted by Trusted Shops, and it will no longer be possible to identify you personally.
Trusted Shops uses service providers for hosting, monitoring, and logging. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purpose of ensuring smooth operation. This may involve processing in third countries (USA and Israel). An adequate level of data protection is ensured in the case of the USA through standard contractual clauses and other contractual measures, and in the case of Israel through an adequacy decision.
