I. General information and contact persons
Welcome to our website! Data protection is not just a legal requirement for us, but a matter of course. With the following information, we would like to inform you, in accordance with legal regulations, about what happens to your personal data when you visit our website. Personal data is all data that can be assigned to you as an identified or identifiable person. The controller responsible for the processing of personal data in connection with your visit to this website is:
baaboo Europe OÜ, Järvevana tee 9, 11314 Tallinn, Estonia, Email: impressum@baaboo.com (NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT – here go to customer support )
According to statutory regulations, the controller is not obligated to appoint a company data protection officer. This privacy policy applies to the websites through which it is made available. For our other websites and services, the data protection information provided there applies.
II. Processing of your data
When you use our website, various personal data is processed:
1. Provision of the website and creation of log files
Each time you access our website, our system automatically records data and information from the accessing computer:
- Information about the browser type and version used
- The user's operating system
- The HTTP response code
- The number of bytes transferred
- The user's IP address
- Date and time of access
- Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
- Websites accessed by the user's system via our website
The temporary storage of the IP address is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.
Storage in log files ensures the functionality of the website. Furthermore, the data helps us optimize our online offerings and ensure the security of our information technology. The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. If the data is collected to provide the website, this occurs upon termination of the usage process. If the data is stored in log files, this occurs after fourteen days at the latest. Longer storage is possible. In this case, the users' IP addresses are deleted or distorted, making it no longer possible to identify the accessing client.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, whereby our legitimate interest is the proper provision of the functions of this website, the evaluation of access information with the aim of eliminating and avoiding technical disruptions and the prevention and tracking of security incidents.
We sometimes use external service providers to process your data. These service providers have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions, and are regularly monitored. If our service providers or partners are based in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you of the consequences of this circumstance in the description of the offer.
2. Cookies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files that are stored by the internet browser on the user's device. A cookie usually contains a characteristic string of characters that allows the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is accessed again. Cookies are used to make the website more user-friendly, to optimize the website's functions and services, and to provide you with content tailored to your needs.
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to enable and simplify the use of the website. Some functions of this website cannot be offered without the use of cookies.
The user data collected through technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles. Furthermore, with your separate consent, cookies may be used to provide external media such as videos and maps, as well as to analyze website usage.
The user data collected in this way is pseudonymized using technical precautions. Therefore, it is no longer possible to assign the data to the accessing user. The data is not merged with other personal data of the user.
You can deactivate or restrict the use of cookies by changing the settings in your internet browser. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for the website, you may no longer be able to fully use all of the website's functions.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, whereby the legitimate interest of the controller lies in the secure, stable, and efficient provision of the website's functions and the information accessible via them. If the controller fulfills a contractual obligation to you with the respective function, for example participation in a digital event booked by you, the legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. If we use cookies that are not technically necessary to provide functions or for other purposes, the legal basis for the processing of personal data in connection with these cookies is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR in conjunction with your consent.
3. Plugins and tools
We may use tools other than those listed below for advertising, market research, and reach analysis purposes. In these cases, we will obtain your consent to process your personal data and use cookies (the legal basis for processing personal data in these cases is Art. 6 (1a) GDPR). A complete list of the cookies used can be found under the "You can change your cookie settings here" button above.
Google (Universal) Analytics
This website uses features of the web analysis service Google (Universal) Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google (Universal) Analytics enables website operators to analyze the behavior of website visitors. This provides the website operator with various usage data, such as page views, length of stay, operating systems used, and user origin. Google may compile this data into a profile associated with the respective user or their device.
Google (Universal) Analytics uses technologies that enable user recognition for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
This analysis tool is used on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. If corresponding consent has been requested (e.g., consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: https://business.safety.google/adscontrollerterms/sccs/
IP anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google (Universal) Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Browser plug-in
You can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de .
For more information on how Google (Universal) Analytics handles user data, please see Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.
Storage period
Data stored by Google at the user and event level that is linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g., User ID), or advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) is anonymized or deleted after 14 months. Details can be found at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de
Google Ads
The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program provided by Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Ads enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms into Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on user data available to Google (e.g., location data and interests) (audience targeting). We, as website operators, can evaluate this data quantitatively, for example, by analyzing which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many ads resulted in corresponding clicks.
The use of Google Ads is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in marketing its services and products as effectively as possible.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: https://business.safety.google/adscontrollerterms/sccs/
Tracify
We use the web analytics service Tracify on our website, or parts of it, to record how our website is used by its visitors and to evaluate and optimize the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing measures. Tracify is a web analytics service provided by Tracify GmbH in Munich, Germany. Tracify GmbH acts as a processor for us based on a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.
Tracify enables an analysis of website usage and the customer journey without storing cookies or other information on the user's device, but solely on the basis of browser and device information, such as the user's IP address, the configuration of the respective user agent (user agent string), usage data, order information, contact details, screen resolution, installed fonts and plugins and the processor of the respective device.
The information transmitted to Tracify is completely and irreversibly anonymized immediately after transmission, thus preventing any personal reference. Only the anonymized, aggregated information is analyzed.
When using Tracify, data processing takes place entirely in Germany; no data is transferred to unsafe third countries without an adequate level of data protection.
The legal basis for the use of Tracify is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in designing the website to meet our needs and in evaluating and optimizing our marketing measures.
TikTok
Our online offering uses the so-called “TikTok pixel” of the social network TikTok, which is operated by TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland (“TikTok”).
With the help of the TikTok pixel, TikTok is able to identify you, as a visitor to our online offering, as a target group for displaying advertisements (so-called “TikTok ads”). Accordingly, we use the TikTok pixel to only display the TikTok ads we place to TikTok users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products determined based on the websites visited) that we transmit to TikTok (so-called “custom audiences”). With the help of the TikTok pixel, we also want to ensure that our TikTok ads correspond to the potential interests of users and are not annoying. With the help of the TikTok pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of TikTok advertisements for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a TikTok advertisement (so-called “conversion”).
TikTok processes data in accordance with TikTok’s data usage policy: https://www.tiktok.com/legal/page/eea/privacy-policy/de-DE
Specific information and details about the TikTok pixel and how it works can be found in TikTok’s help section: https://support.tiktok.com/de
TikTok’s “Ads and Your Data” guide gives you an overview of how your personal data is processed in connection with ads: https://www.tiktok.com/safety/en/ads-and-data/
When using TikTok, personal data may also be transferred to servers outside the European Economic Area. In this case, the personal data will be processed on the basis of the Commission's model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries (so-called standard contractual clauses). For a copy of these standard contractual clauses, please contact TikTok at privacy@tiktok.com .
The use of the TikTok pixel and the storage of “conversion cookies” is based on Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent).
For the processing of data in which TikTok acts as a processor, we have concluded a data processing agreement with TikTok in which we oblige TikTok to protect our customers' data and not to pass it on to third parties.
You can object to the collection by the TikTok pixel and the use of your data to display TikTok ads or revoke your consent at any time. You can find an opt-out option in the cookie settings of this website.
Taboola “Content Discovery Technology”, Retargeting, Remarketing
Taboola enables us to provide personalized recommendations for content and ads based on your browsing behavior and personal interests on third-party sites.
This website also uses retargeting and remarketing technology from Taboola. This technology enables us to target visitors to our website, based on their usage behavior, with additional content, either our own or third-party, such as banners, that is likely to match their respective interests. This content is displayed based on a cookie-based analysis of previous usage behavior.
We use the "Content Discovery Technology" service from Taboola Inc., 1115 Broadway, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10010, USA ("Taboola"). To manage recommendations for content and advertisements, Taboola collects information about your behavior on our website (and possibly other partner sites) through cookies and similar technologies and compiles this information into user profiles. These user profiles are created using pseudonyms; they are not merged with the data about the bearer of the pseudonym and do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about individual persons. Based on your browsing behavior, you are assigned to segments of Taboola and third-party partners. You can view these segments, remove them individually or in full, download or delete your data, and unsubscribe from this service using the following link: https://accessrequest.taboola.com/access . Once you unsubscribe, you will no longer receive personalized content or advertising.

The legal basis for data processing with the Taboola services is consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR in conjunction with Section 25 TDDDG.
ATTENTION! This service involves data transfer to the USA, and such transfer cannot be excluded. For the transfer of data to the USA, the provider relies on standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards.
Snapchat Pixel
On our website we use the so-called “Snapchat pixel” of the social network Snapchat, which is operated by Snap Inc., 63 Market Street, Venice, CA 90291, USA (“Snapchat”).
ATTENTION! This service involves data transfer to the USA, and such transfer cannot be excluded. For the transfer of data to the USA, the provider relies on standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards.
The Snapchat pixel is used for the purpose of analyzing, optimizing, and operating our website economically. This allows us to define our website visitors as a target group for displaying advertisements (so-called "Snapchat ads"). Snapchat ads are only displayed to Snapchat users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g., interests in specific topics or products determined based on the websites visited) that we transmit to Snapchat (so-called "custom audiences").
With the help of the Snapchat pixel, we also want to ensure that our Snapchat ads match the potential interests of users and are not annoying. Furthermore, we can use it to track the effectiveness of Snapchat ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Snapchat ad (so-called "conversion").
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using Snapchat pixels is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR.
General information about the display of Snapchat ads can be found in Snapchat's data usage policy at: https://www.snap.com/de-DE/privacy/privacy-by-product/. Details about the Snapchat pixel and how it works can be found in Snapchat's help section at: https://businesshelp.snapchat.com/en-US/a/snap-pixel-about (English).
Google Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
With the help of Google Conversion Tracking, we and Google can recognize whether the user has performed certain actions. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website were clicked and how often, and which products were viewed or purchased most frequently. This information is used to compile conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who clicked on our ads and what actions they performed. We do not receive any information that could personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or similar recognition technologies for identification.
The use of Google Conversion Tracking is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. If corresponding consent has been requested (e.g., consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
For more information about Google Conversion Tracking, please see Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
Google Tag Manager
We use “Google Tag Manager” on our website, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). Google Tag Manager enables us as marketers to manage website tags via a single interface. The Google Tag Manager tool, which implements the tags, is a cookie-free domain and does not collect any personal data itself. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at the domain or cookie level, this deactivation remains in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
Further information on data protection can be found on the following Google websites:
Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de

Terms of Use Google Tag Manager: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html
Google AdSense
This website uses Google AdSense, a service for integrating advertisements. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use Google AdSense in "non-personalized" mode. Unlike personalized mode, the ads are not based on your previous user behavior, and no user profile is created. Instead, so-called "contextual information" is used to select ads. The selected ads are then based on, for example, your location, the content of the website you are currently on, or your current search terms. You can find out more about the differences between personalized and non-personalized targeting with Google AdSense at:
https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/9007336
Please note that even when using Google Adsense in non-personalized mode, cookies or similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) may be used. According to Google, these are used to combat fraud and abuse.
AdSense is used on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in marketing its website as effectively as possible. If consent has been requested, processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here:

Bing Ads
This website uses Bing Ads, a program from Microsoft Corporation ("Microsoft") that utilizes Universal Event Tracking (UEN) to implement remarketing and conversion tracking. A cookie is placed on your computer for this purpose if you accessed our website via Bing or Yahoo. Information about the use of our website, i.e., the pages you visit, is stored in this text file by Bing Ads for 180 days and then deleted. This information includes, among other things, the URL of the page visited, the URL of the referring page, and your IP address. By using the remarketing function, we can provide you with offers specifically tailored to you during a subsequent search on one of the aforementioned search engines. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent). You can change your cookie settings here at any time and thus revoke your consent without giving reasons. You can access Microsoft's privacy policy regarding the handling of collected data at the following link: https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement/ .
Outbrain
Our website uses the services of Outbrain Inc. (Outbrain), 39 W 13th Street New York, NY 10011 USA for the purposes of advertising and sales promotion as well as to tailor content to meet your needs.
Outbrain assigns a unique user ID (UUID) to each user who interacts with the Outbrain widget (the area containing recommendations) in order to recommend content relevant to that specific UUID. You can tell whether you are connected to the Outbrain widget by a reference to a recommendation, such as "Recommended by Outbrain." Outbrain places a cookie on your device to generate the UUID. Because Outbrain provides you with relevant information and determines the purposes and means, Outbrain is the data controller in this regard.
An Outbrain pixel is also implemented on this website. This allows the pixel to be linked to an existing Outbrain UUID. By assigning the Outbrain UUID to the pixel, Outbrain is able to inform us about which areas of this website you have visited. The pixel records which Outbrain UUID was active on the pages on which the pixels are installed, as well as the corresponding timestamp, the referring source, and the fact that an action was performed. The pixel tracks activities anonymously. No additional identifiable personal data is collected. The only personal information Outbrain has is Outbrain's own UUID. Since we decide on the purposes and means here, we are the data controller with regard to the pixel.
The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can opt out of processing for marketing and analysis purposes at any time in the cookie settings.
Further information on Outbrain’s data processing: https://www.outbrain.com/legal/privacy#privacy-policy . Information about the cookies set by Outbrain: https://www.outbrain.com/legal/#cookies .
Using trbo Tracking
On our website, trbo GmbH, Leopoldstr. 41, 80802 Munich ( https://www.trbo.com/ ) collects and stores data from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms in order to offer you personalized customer benefits. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR in conjunction with your consent. For this purpose, cookies may be used that enable the recognition of an Internet browser. These user profiles are used to analyze visitor behavior and are evaluated to improve our offering and tailor it to meet your needs. The pseudonymized user profiles will not be merged with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym without the express consent of the data subject.
Vimeo without tracking (Do-Not-Track)
This website uses plugins from the video portal Vimeo. The provider is Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.
When you visit one of our pages featuring Vimeo videos, a connection to Vimeo's servers is established. This tells the Vimeo server which of our pages you have visited. Vimeo also receives your IP address. However, we have configured Vimeo so that Vimeo will not track your user activities or set cookies.
Vimeo is used in the interest of ensuring an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses and, according to Vimeo, on "legitimate business interests." Details can be found here: https://vimeo.com/privacy .
Further information on how user data is handled can be found in Vimeo’s privacy policy at: https://vimeo.com/privacy .
YouTube with enhanced privacy
This website embeds videos from YouTube. The site is operated by Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily prevent data from being shared with YouTube partners. YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network, regardless of whether you watch a video.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. The YouTube server is informed of which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). This allows YouTube to receive information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud.
After starting a YouTube video, further data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no influence.
We use YouTube in the interest of providing an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
For more information about data protection at YouTube, please see their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de .
Facebook plugins (Like & Share button)
This website integrates plug-ins from the social network Facebook. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, the collected data is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.
You can recognize the Facebook plug-in by the Facebook logo or the "Like" button on this website. An overview of Facebook plug-ins can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE .
When you visit this website, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Facebook server via the plugin. Facebook thus receives the information that you have visited this website using your IP address. If you click the Facebook "Like" button while logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of this website to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate your visit to this website with your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. Further information on this can be found in Facebook's privacy policy at: https://de-de.facebook.com/privacy/explanation .
If you do not want Facebook to be able to associate your visit to this website with your Facebook user account, please log out of your Facebook user account.
The use of Facebook plugins is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most comprehensive visibility possible on social media. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
To the extent that personal data is collected on our website using the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). Joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and its forwarding to Facebook. Any processing by Facebook that occurs after forwarding is not part of this joint responsibility. Our joint obligations have been set out in a joint processing agreement. The wording of the agreement can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum . According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing data protection information when using the Facebook tool and for implementing the tool on our website in compliance with data protection law. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook products. You can assert your data subject rights (e.g., requests for information) regarding the data processed by Facebook directly with Facebook. If you assert your data subject rights with us, we are obligated to forward them to Facebook.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum , https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381 and https://www.facebook.com/policy.php .
Facebook Custom Audiences / Facebook Pixels
On some of our websites we use the so-called "Facebook Pixel" from the company "Facebook" (Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland). With the Facebook Pixel, we can classify visitors to our website into specific target groups in order to show you corresponding advertisements ("ads") on Facebook. The data collected (e.g. IP addresses, information about the web browser, the location of the website, buttons clicked, possibly pixel IDs and other characteristics) cannot be viewed by us, but can only be used to display certain advertisements. When the Facebook Pixel code is used, so-called cookies are also set.
The Facebook pixel enables us to track the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements (so-called "Facebook Ads") and your interaction with our website for statistical and market research purposes. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can, for example, recognize whether you were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad and how you interacted with our website (so-called "conversion"). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also define you and other visitors to our website as a target group for Facebook ads. We therefore use the Facebook pixel to achieve a better customer approach on Facebook. This is because the Facebook ads we place are only displayed to Facebook users who have shown an interest in our offers or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined based on the websites visited, so-called "custom audiences via website"). We also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to your interests and are not annoying.
For this purpose, various event and conversion data are collected on our website, such as which subpages you visit or how you interact with our website. We evaluate your activity on our website and use this analysis to target personalized advertising.
If you subsequently log in to Facebook or are logged in to Facebook when you visit our website, your visit to our website will be recorded in your Facebook profile. However, the data is converted into strings of numbers ("hashed") immediately upon collection. This data therefore does not allow us to draw any conclusions about you. However, we would like to point out that this data is also stored and processed by Facebook. Facebook may use this information for its own market research and advertising purposes. We have no influence over this.
If you have a Facebook account and are logged in, your visit to this website will be associated with your Facebook user account. We also sometimes use the “Custom Audiences” remarketing feature from Facebook. This allows website users to be shown interest-based advertisements (“Facebook Ads”) when they visit Facebook or other websites that also use this technology. Our goal is to show you advertising that matches your interests in order to make our website more interesting for you. In order to exchange the relevant data, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Facebook server. We have no influence on the extent or further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and therefore provide you with the following information based on our knowledge: By integrating Facebook Custom Audiences, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page on our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and store your IP address and other identification features.
You can find out how the Facebook pixel is used for advertising campaigns on https://www.facebook.com/business/learn/facebook-ads-pixel .
For more information about Facebook’s data policy, please visit https://www.facebook.com/policy.php .
For further information on data processing by Facebook, please visit https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy .
We use these functions to provide you with advertising tailored to your interests. We process your data because you have consented to this, or because we have a legitimate interest in processing your personal data, namely to increase the reach of our offers and content, pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) and (f) GDPR. We store your data as long as we need it for the respective purpose (displaying interest-based advertising), or as long as you have not objected to the storage of your data or withdrawn your consent.
The deactivation of the “Facebook Custom Audiences” function is possible for logged-in users under https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads# possible.
You can manage your Facebook ad settings on https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen change if you are logged in to Facebook.
Participation in affiliate partner programs
Within our online offering, we use industry-standard tracking measures based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering) in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, insofar as these are necessary for the operation of the affiliate system.
The services offered by our contractual partners may also be advertised and linked on other websites (so-called affiliate links or after-buy systems, for example, when links or services from third parties are offered after a contract has been concluded). The operators of the respective websites receive a commission when users follow the affiliate links and subsequently take advantage of the offers.
In summary, it is necessary for our online offering to be able to track whether users who are interested in affiliate links and/or the offers available from us subsequently take advantage of the offers at the instigation of the affiliate links or our online platform. For this purpose, the affiliate links and our offers are supplemented with certain values that can be part of the link or set otherwise, e.g. in a cookie. These values include in particular the source website (referrer), time, an online identifier of the operator of the website on which the affiliate link was located, an online identifier of the respective offer, an online identifier of the user, as well as tracking-specific values such as advertising material ID, partner ID and categorizations.
The online user identifiers we use are pseudonymous values. This means that the online identifiers themselves do not contain any personal data such as names or email addresses. They only help us determine whether the same user who clicked on an affiliate link or expressed interest in an offer via our online offering has accepted the offer, i.e., for example, concluded a contract with the provider. However, the online identifier is personal insofar as the partner company and we have the online identifier together with other user data. This is the only way the partner company can tell us whether the user has accepted the offer and whether we can, for example, pay out the bonus.
Instagram plug-in
Our website includes features of the Instagram service. These features are offered by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.
If you are logged into your Instagram account, you can link the content of our pages to your Instagram profile by clicking the Instagram button. This allows Instagram to associate your visit to our pages with your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or how Instagram uses it.
The Instagram plugin is used on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most comprehensive visibility possible on social media. If consent has been requested, processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
For more information, please see Instagram’s privacy policy: https://de-de.facebook.com/help/instagram/519522125107875 .
This website integrates plug-ins from the social network Pinterest Europe Ltd, WeWork, 2 Dublin Landings, N Wall Quay, Dublin 1, D01 V4A3 ("Pinterest"). You can recognize the Pinterest plug-in by the "Pin it" button on our site.
If you click on the Pinterest plugin while logged into your Pinterest account, it is possible to link content to your Pinterest account and follow us. This allows Pinterest to associate your visit to our pages with your user account. Further information can be found in Pinterest's privacy policy: https://about.pinterest.com/de/privacy
Our website incorporates plug-ins from the short message network Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. You can recognize the Twitter plug-in (tweet button) by the Twitter logo on our site. You can find an overview of the tweet button here:
When you visit a page on our website, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Twitter server via the plugin. Twitter thus receives the information that you have visited our site using your IP address. If you click the Twitter "tweet button" while logged into your Twitter account, you can link the content of our pages to your Twitter profile. This allows Twitter to associate your visit to our pages with your user account. Even if you are not a Twitter member, it is still possible that Twitter will learn and store your IP address. We have no knowledge of the content and extent of the transmitted data, nor any influence over this. For more information, please see Twitter's privacy policy at:
If you do not want Twitter to be able to associate your visit to our website with your Twitter account, please log out of your Twitter account before visiting our website. If we transmit personal data to Twitter, this processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
Shariff
We offer you the option of using "social media buttons" on our website using the Shariff protection function. These buttons are integrated into the website only as graphics containing a link to the corresponding website of the button provider. Clicking on the graphic will redirect you to the services of the respective provider. Only then will your data be sent to the respective provider. If you do not click on the graphic, no exchange of data will take place between you and the providers of the social media buttons. Information about the collection and use of your data on social networks can be found in the respective providers' terms of use. More information about the Shariff solution can be found here: http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html .
Push notifications with CleverPush
If you have registered to receive so-called push notifications, you will receive information via our push notifications with the desired content and topics. To register for push notifications, you must confirm the request from your browser or device to receive the notifications. This process is documented and stored by us. For this purpose, the time of registration and a browser or device ID are stored. This data serves both to send you the push notifications and as proof of your registration.
To optimize our push notifications, we also statistically evaluate user behavior regarding our push notifications. This allows us to determine whether and when our push notifications were displayed and clicked. This allows us to determine which push notifications interest recipients, tailor future messages to the presumed interests of all recipients, and thus increase interest in our offering. We also use this information to send push notifications to the relevant subscribers that are likely to be of interest to them.
The purpose of data processing is to send corresponding push notifications and to continuously improve this service. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. You can revoke your consent in the settings provided for receiving push notifications in your browser. If you use our push notifications on a desktop PC with the "Windows" operating system, you can also unsubscribe from push notifications by right-clicking on the respective push notification in the settings that appear there.
For these push notifications, we use the services of CleverPush GmbH, Nagelsweg 22, 20097 Hamburg ("CleverPush"). Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected, unless legally required to do so. The opt-out process is explained in detail at the following link: https://cleverpush.com/faq
4. Orders / additional functions
(1) Orders
In addition to the purely informational use of our services, you can submit or provide us with questions, orders, and—where offered—reviews. To do so, you will generally be required to provide additional personal data, which we will process to process your request, answer your inquiries, fulfill contracts concluded with you, assert and enforce our claims, and, if applicable, respond to your review. The aforementioned data processing principles apply to these data. Furthermore, we use personal data to the extent necessary to fulfill our legal obligations, for example, to comply with our documentation and retention obligations under tax or commercial law.
We sometimes use external service providers to process your data. These service providers have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions, and are regularly monitored. If our service providers or partners are based in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you of the consequences of this circumstance in the description of the offer.
Data will only be passed on to third parties if and to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR), for example the transmission of your address as a delivery address to a logistics partner or to a shipping company so that they can send or deliver the goods you have ordered to you. In addition, we pass on personal data if this is necessary to process payments. If necessary, personal data may also be exchanged with the operator of this internet platform to the extent necessary in each case, insofar as this is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to the data subject or insofar as this becomes necessary, for example, to clarify technical or legal questions or questions within the framework of customer service.
If you have given your consent, the legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. If the processing is for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract, the legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. If we process personal data to handle non-contractual concerns or inquiries or to respond appropriately to reviews, we do so for the purpose of optimal and efficient communication with you, as well as for the appropriate evaluation and commenting on reviews and to improve our customer service, as well as for clarifying and resolving technical problems. Our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR exist in the aforementioned purposes.
In addition, we reserve the right to process personal data in individual cases if this is necessary, for example, for the purpose of prosecuting abusive or fraudulent activities, or for tracking and resolving functional or security issues. The above purposes then represent our legitimate interest within the meaning of the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
(2) Registration
On our website, we offer users the opportunity to register by providing personal data. The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and stored. Data will only be passed on to third parties if and to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR), for example, transmitting your address as a delivery address to suppliers so that they can send the goods you have ordered. As part of the registration process, the information obtained from the registration form will be requested and stored by us. If the user has given their consent, the legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. If the registration serves to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party or to carry out pre-contractual measures, the additional legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
When concluding a contractual relationship on our website, we ask you to provide the following personal data:
- Data that personally identifies you such as name and email address
- other personal data that we are legally obliged or authorized to collect and process and that we need for your authentication, identification or to verify the data we have collected.
The aforementioned data will be processed to fulfill the contractual relationship. The data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The storage period is limited to the contractual purpose and, if applicable, statutory and contractual retention obligations.
(3) Credit check for purchase on account
If we provide our services in advance, e.g. when purchasing on account, we will obtain a credit report based on mathematical and statistical procedures from the credit information company First Debit, Am Hülsenbusch 23, 59063 Hamm, in order to protect our legitimate interests in receiving agreed payments in return and the performance of our contractual partners (further data protection information: https://firstdebit.de/datenschutz/ ). For this purpose, we will transmit your name and address and use the information received about the statistical probability of a payment default to make a balanced decision about the payment options to be made available to the customer. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, whereby our legitimate interest arises from the aforementioned purposes. If we obtain your consent before transmission, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
The credit report may contain probability values (score values) calculated based on scientifically recognized mathematical and statistical methods, which include, among other things, address data. Your legitimate interests will be taken into account in accordance with legal provisions. You can object to this check at any time with future effect. This may result in us no longer being able to offer you certain payment options. Alternatively, you can always choose a payment option without our advance payment. In this case, a credit check will not be carried out.
(4) Contact form and other contact
Our website features a contact form that can be used for electronic contact. If a user chooses this option, the data entered in the input form will be transmitted to us and stored. This data includes:
- Salutation
- name
- E-mail address
- News
Alternatively, you can contact us via the email address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the email will be stored.
In this context, we do not intend to share your data with third parties. The data will be used exclusively for processing the conversation.
The purpose of processing personal data within the scope of contact options is user-initiated communication and/or the provision of information requested by the user. The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in conjunction with our legitimate interest in being able to answer and process your inquiry efficiently, appropriately, and in a targeted manner. If contact is made within the scope of preparing, implementing, or processing a contractual relationship, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data from the contact form input mask and data sent via email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved.
5. SSL or TLS encryption
With unencrypted data transmissions over the Internet (e.g., unencrypted email communications), the confidentiality of the transmitted data cannot be fully guaranteed. For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption.
You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.
6. Newsletters and email messages
With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter (if offered), which we use to inform you about our current, interesting offers. The advertised services are listed in the consent form.
We use the so-called double opt-in process to register for our newsletter. This means that after you register, we will send you an email to the email address you provided, asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we store your IP addresses and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this process is to verify your registration and, if necessary, to investigate any possible misuse of your personal data.
The only mandatory information required to receive the newsletter is your email address. Providing additional, separately marked data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. After your confirmation, we will save your email address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter and unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. You can do so by clicking on the link provided in each newsletter email or by sending a message to the contact details provided in the imprint.
Use of the email address for sending direct mail
We use your email address, which we received as part of the sale of a product or service, to electronically send advertising for our own products or services similar to those you have already purchased from us, unless you have objected to this use. Providing your email address is necessary to conclude a contract. Failure to provide it will result in no contract being concluded. Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in direct advertising.
The legal basis for the use of your email address to advertise our own similar products is Section 7 (3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG). You can object to the use of your email address at any time by contacting us via the contact details listed above or by using the unsubscribe function provided in every promotional email.
There will be no costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates of the means of communication you use.
7. Storage period
Unless otherwise stated in the respective individual information, we process personal data in accordance with legal regulations only for the purposes stated here and only for as long as personal identification of the data subject is necessary for the respective purpose. Subsequently, the data is deleted or neutralized/anonymized in accordance with data protection regulations.
III. Your rights
You have the right at any time, to the extent and under the legal conditions,
- To revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time or to object to the processing of your data.
- To receive information about the data we have stored about you.
- that any incorrect data about you will be corrected by us.
- that data about you that is no longer required will be deleted from our database.
- that the processing of your data will be restricted under certain conditions; this may be the case, for example, if deletion is not possible but the data may not be further processed.
- that your data is transferable; this right applies in particular if you have given your consent to the processing of your data or if the processing of the data is necessary to fulfill a contract. The right to data portability does not exist if your data is not processed automatically.
To exercise your rights, please use the contact details provided in the introduction to this privacy policy.
If you believe that the processing of your data violates legal requirements, you can also complain to the supervisory authority responsible for us.
We would like to point out that in certain cases, we may request additional information from you to verify your identity. This is the only way we can ensure, for example, that information is not disclosed to unauthorized persons when providing information.
