Data protection declaration
Unless stated otherwise below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually obligatory, nor required for conclusion of
a contract. You are not obliged to provide your data. Not providing it will have no consequences. This only applies as long as the processing
procedures below do not state otherwise.
“Personal data” is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Server log files
You can use our websites without submitting personal data.
Every time our website is accessed, user data is transferred to us or our web hosts/IT service providers by your internet browser and stored in
server log files. This stored data includes for example the name of the site called up, date and time of the request, the IP address, amount of
data transferred and the provider making the request. The processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1) f) GDPR due to our legitimate
interests in ensuring the smooth operation of our website as well as improving our services.
Your data may be transferred to third countries outside the EU, in particular to Canada and the USA, and processed there. The EU
Commission has issued an adequacy decision for Canada. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, the Trans-
Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Shopify is not certified under the TADPF. This data transfer takes place on the basis of contractual
obligations that are comparable to those of the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses.

Proactive contact of the customer by e-mail
If you make contact with us proactively via email, we shall collect your personal data (name, email address, message text) only to the extent

concerns an agreement already concluded between you and us, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
If the initial contact occurs for other reasons, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purposes of our
overriding, legitimate interest in handling and responding to your request. In this case, on grounds relating to your particular situation,
you have the right to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you and carried out on the basis of Article
6(1)(f) GDPR.
We will only use your email address to process your request. Your data will subsequently be deleted in compliance with statutory retention
periods, unless you have agreed to further processing and use.

concerns an agreement already concluded between you and us, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
If the initial contact occurs for other reasons, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purposes of our

Orders
Collection, processing, and transfer of personal data in orders
When you submit an order we only collect and use your personal data insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment and handling of your order
as well as processing of your queries. The provision of data is necessary for conclusion of a contract. Failure to provide it will prevent the
conclusion of any contract. The processing will occur on the basis of Article 6(1) b) GDPR and is required for the fulfilment of a contract with
you.
Your data is transferred here for example to the shipping companies and dropshipping providers, payment service providers, service providers
for handling the order and IT service providers that you have selected. We will comply strictly with legal requirements in every case. The scope
of data transmission is restricted to a minimum.
Your data may be transferred to third countries outside the EU, in particular to Canada and the USA, and processed there. The EU
Commission has issued an adequacy decision for Canada. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, the Trans-
Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Shopify is not certified under the TADPF. This data transfer takes place on the basis of contractual
obligations that are comparable to those of the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses.

Use of Klarna payment options
On our website we use the payment service of Klarna Bank AB (publ) (Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden; "Klarna"). By selecting and
using payment via Klarna, the data required for payment processing is transmitted to Klarna in order to be able to fulfil the contract with you
with the selected payment method. This processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

"Pay Later" (invoice), "Pay Now" (payment by direct debit), "Financing" (hire purchase)
For individual payment methods such as "Pay Later" (invoice), "Pay Now" (payment by direct debit), "Financing" (hire purchase), Klarna
reserves the right, if necessary, to obtain a credit report on the basis of mathematical-statistical procedures using credit reference agencies.
For this purpose, Klarna transmits the personal data required for a credit assessment, such as first and last name, address, gender, email
address, IP address and data related to the order to a credit agency for the purpose of checking the identity and creditworthiness and uses the
obtained information on the statistical probability of a payment default in order to reach a well-considered decision on the establishment,
performance or termination of the contractual relationship. The credit report may contain probability values (score values) which are calculated
on the basis of scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical methods and include, among other things, address data. Your legitimate
interests will be taken into account in accordance with the legal requirements. The data processing serves the purpose of a credit asessment
for contract initiation. The processing is carried out on the basis of art. 6 Par. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in
protection against payment default if Klarna pays in advance. For reasons that arise from your particular situation, you have the right to object
to the processing of your personal data carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR by notifying Klarna. The provision of the data is
necessary for the conclusion of the contract by means of the payment method of your choice. Failure to provide such data shall mean that the
contract cannot be concluded with the payment method of your choice.
