This access data is evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the website and improving our services. This serves our legitimate interest in the correct presentation of our services, which outweighs any conflicting interests, pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

8. Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge/other widgets

If you have given your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, Trusted Shops widgets are integrated on this website to display Trusted Shops services (e.g., trustmarks, collected reviews) and to offer Trusted Shops products to buyers after an order.

The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are offered by Trusted Shops SE, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne, Germany ("Trusted Shops"), with whom we are jointly responsible for data protection pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. In the following section of this privacy notice, we inform you about the essential contractual content pursuant to Article 26 Paragraph 2 GDPR. Within the framework of the joint controllership between us and Trusted Shops SE, please contact Trusted Shops preferably with any data protection questions and to assert your rights, using the contact options provided in the Privacy Policy. However, you may always contact the controller of your choice. Your inquiry will then be forwarded to the other controller for a response, if necessary. 8.1 Data Processing When Integrating the Trustbadge/Other Widgets The Trustbadge is provided by a US-based CDN (Content Delivery Network) provider. An adequate level of data protection is ensured in each case by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, which for the USA can be accessed here. Service providers from the USA are generally certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information can be found here. If service providers are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been concluded as a suitable safeguard.

When the Trustbadge is accessed, the web server automatically saves a server log file, which also contains your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the access. The IP address is anonymized immediately after collection, so that the stored data cannot be associated with you personally. The anonymized data is used in particular for statistical purposes and for error analysis.

8.2 Data Processing After Order Completion

If you have given your consent, the Trustbadge accesses order information stored on your device (order total, order number, and, if applicable, purchased product) and your email address after order completion. Your email address is then hashed using a cryptographic one-way function. The hash value is subsequently transmitted to Trusted Shops along with the order information in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
This serves to verify whether you are already registered for Trusted Shops services. If this is the case, further processing will take place in accordance with the contractual agreement. If you are not yet registered for the services or do not consent to automatic recognition via the Trustbadge, you will subsequently have the option to register manually for the services or to purchase buyer protection as part of your existing user agreement. For this purpose, the Trustbadge accesses the following information, which is stored on your device, after you complete your order: order total, order number, and email address. This is necessary so that we can offer you buyer protection. Data is only transmitted to Trusted Shops if you actively choose to purchase buyer protection by clicking the corresponding button in the Trustcard. If you choose to use the services, further processing is governed by the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, in order to complete your registration for buyer protection, secure your order, and, if applicable, subsequently send you review invitations by email.

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, UK, and Israel). An adequate level of data protection is ensured in each case by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, which can be accessed here for the USA, here for the UK, here for the UK, and here for Israel. Service providers from the USA are generally certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information can be found here. If service providers used are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been concluded as an appropriate safeguard.
