Visiting the website
If you just want to browse our website, we do not collect any personal data, with the exception of the data that your browser transmits to enable you to visit the website, in particular:

-   IP address (e.g. 95.91.215.example or 2a02:8109:9440:1198:bdb1:551f:example)
-   Approximate location based on IP range (e.g. Berlin & surrounding area).e.g. Berlin & surroundings)
-   Internet provider (e.g. Kabel Deutschland or Deutsche Telekom)
-   Internet speed (e.g. 120 Mbit)-   Date and time (e.g. 11:45 on 25.05.2018)
-   Last visited website (e.g. google.de)
-   Browser (e.g. Chrome or Safari)
-   Operating system (e.g. Mac OS)
-   Hardware (e.g. Intel processor)

As a protective measure in favor of your privacy, we delete or anonymize the IP address after your visit to our website. This means that the other technical data can no longer be traced back to you and are only used for anonymous, statistical purposes to optimize our website. The purpose of the temporary storage of the data is, on the one hand, the technical necessity for establishing a connection and the correct, error-free display of our website. The IP address and the technical data already mentioned are required to display the website, to avoid display problems for visitors and to correct error messages. The legal basis is the so-called legitimate interest, which is justified in the context of the aforementioned protective measures and in accordance with the European data protection requirements from Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. f GDPR has been checked.

Online order/checkout
If you wish to place an order for our products, we will only request data from you that is required for order and payment processing. This data is treated confidentially and is only processed by us, the payment provider and the shipping service provider. The following data is required for this:

•   Vor-/Nachname
•   E-Mail-Adresse
•   Adresse (Sendungszustellung)
•   Telefon

As a protective measure , the data you enter is transmitted via an encrypted connection, just like the rest of the website. We also apply the principle of data minimization and only collect the data that is actually required. Your data will be Shopd for as long as is necessary for order processing or until you request the deletion of the data. However, invoice-related data is subject to statutory retention periods and can be Shopd for up to ten years. The purpose of the data requested is to process orders and payments in order to deliver the desired product to you. The legal basis is the mutual fulfillment of the contract in accordance with the European data protection requirements under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Data transfer
For the fulfillment of the contract in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the ordering process, we will pass on the payment data collected for the processing of payments to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the payment service provider commissioned by us or to the selected payment service. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you create an account with them. In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. The privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies in this respect.

Cookies
Our website partly uses so-called cookies. Cookies are small text files that are usually Shopd in a folder in your browser. Cookies contain information about the current or last visit to the website:

-   Name of the website
-   Expiration date of the cookie
-   Any value

If cookies do not contain an exact expiration date, they are only Shopd temporarily and automatically deleted as soon as you close your browser or restart your device. Cookies with an expiration date remain Shopd even if you close your browser or restart your device. Such cookies are only deleted on the specified date or when you delete them manually.

We use the following three types of cookies on our website:
-   Required cookies (we require these, e.g. to display the website correctly for you and to cache certain settings)
-   Functional and performance cookies (these help us, e.g. technical data of your visit and thus avoid error messages)
-   Advertising and analytics cookies (these ensure that, for example, advertisements for shoes are displayed if you have previously searched for shoes)

The legal basis for the processing of the associated personal data is the consent of the website visitor, which we obtain via the cookie banner. You can revoke your consent here at any time.

Google Analytics

If you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, this website uses Google (Universal) Analytics for the purpose of website analysis. The web analytics service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operated under Irish law with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. (www.google.de). Google Analytics uses methods that enable your use of the website to be analyzed, such as cookies. The automatically collected information about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and Shopd there. By activating IP anonymization on this website, the IP address is shortened before transmission within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. After the end of the purpose and the end of the use of Google Analytics by us, the data collected in this context will be deleted.
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. This will prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google.
As a protective measure, we integrate all third-party technologies in the most data-efficient manner possible and ensure SSL encryption. We have also concluded the necessary data protection contracts with all the providers mentioned. All these providers are based in the USA. The European Court of Justice has ruled that the USA does not offer an equivalent level of data protection to the EU and that government authorities may be able to access the data of EU citizens. The providers therefore provide so-called standard contractual clauses, which are used to contractually guarantee an adequate level of data protection for international data transfers. The standard contractual clauses have been individually evaluated and jointly agreed by our data protection officer.

Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed via an interface. The Google Tool Manager only implements tags. This means: No cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tool Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, it will remain in place for all tracking tags, provided they are implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Hotjar

We also use the web analysis service Hotjar from Hotjar Ltd. Hotjar Ltd. is a European company based in Malta (Hotjar Ltd, Level 2, St Julians Business Centre, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julians STJ 1000, Malta, Europe. This tool can be used to track movements on the websites on which Hotjar is used (so-called heat maps). For example, it is possible to see how far users scroll and which buttons users click and how often. The tool can also be used to obtain feedback directly from website users. In this way, we obtain valuable information to make our websites even faster and more customer-friendly.

We pay particular attention to the protection of your personal data when using this tool. For example, we can only track which buttons are clicked, the history of the mouse, how far you scroll, the screen size of the device, device type and browser information, geographical location (country only) and the preferred language to display our website. Areas of the websites in which personal data of you or third parties are displayed are automatically hidden by Hotjar and are therefore not traceable at any time.

Legal basis for the use is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, which can be declared in the context of our cookie banner. Consent can be revoked at any time via the cookie administration.

Social plug-ins
We use social plug-ins such as "Facebook Connect" from Facebook.
You can recognize the provider of the plug-in by the marking on the box above its initial letter or logo. We give you the option of using the button to communicate directly with the provider of the plug-in. Only if you click on the marked field and thereby activate it will the plug-in provider receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offering. By activating the plug-in, your personal data is therefore transmitted to the respective plug-in provider and Shopd there (for US providers in the USA). As the plug-in provider collects data in particular via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via your browser's security settings before clicking on the grayed-out box.
We have no influence on the data collected and data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full scope of data collection, the purposes of processing or the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the data collected by the plug-in provider.

The plug-in provider Shops the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses these for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to display needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. Through the plug-ins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.

Data is passed on regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, your data collected by us will be assigned directly to your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you click the activated button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider also saves this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this will prevent you from being assigned to your profile with the plug-in provider.
Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the data protection declarations of these providers provided below. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy.

Legal basis and purpose of processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. We would like to offer you the opportunity to share content or to share your interest or favor with others and process the data for this purpose. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
