If you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, Trusted Shops widgets are integrated on this website to display Trusted Shops services (e.g. seal of approval, collected reviews) and to offer Trusted Shops products to buyers after an order.
The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are an offer from Trusted Shops AG, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne ("Trusted Shops"), with whom we are jointly responsible under data protection law in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. In the context of this data protection information, we inform you below about the essential contents of the contract in accordance with Art. 26 para. 2 GDPR.
Within the framework of the joint responsibility existing between us and Trusted Shops AG, please contact Trusted Shops in the event of data protection issues and to assert your rights using the contact options provided in the data protection information. Irrespective of this, you can always contact the controller of your choice. If necessary, your request will then be forwarded to the other responsible party for a response.
8.1 Data processing when integrating the Trustbadge/other widgets
The Trustbadge is provided by a US CDN provider (Content Delivery Network). 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. Service providers used from the USA are generally certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information can be found here. If the service providers used are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been concluded as a suitable guarantee.
When the Trustbadge is accessed, the web server automatically saves a so-called 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 assigned to your person. 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 the order information stored in your end device (order total, order number, product purchased if applicable) and e-mail address after order completion and your e-mail address is hashed using a cryptological one-way function. The hash value is then transmitted to Trusted Shops with the order information in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
This serves to check whether you are already registered for Trusted Shops services. If this is the case, further processing will be carried out in accordance with the contractual agreement concluded between you and Trusted Shops. If you are not yet registered for the services or do not give your consent to automatic recognition via the Trustbadge, you will then be given the opportunity to register manually for the use of the services or to complete the protection as part of your existing user contract.
For this purpose, the Trustbadge accesses the following information, which is stored in the end device you are using, after you have completed your order: Order total, order number and e-mail address. This is necessary so that we can offer you buyer protection. The data will only be transmitted to Trusted Shops if you actively decide to take out buyer protection by clicking on the correspondingly labeled button in the so-called Trustcard. If you decide to use the services, further processing is based on the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR in order to complete your registration for buyer protection and to secure the order and, if necessary, to be able to send you evaluation invitations by e-mail afterwards.
Trusted Shops uses service providers in the areas of hosting, monitoring and logging. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation. Processing may take place in third countries (USA 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 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 the service providers used are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been concluded as a suitable guarantee.
