Data protection declaration

Unless stated otherwise below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually obligatory nor required for the 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 website 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, the date and time of the request, the IP address, the 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.

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 provided by you. The purpose of the data processing is to handle and respond to your contact request.

If the initial contact serves to implement pre-contractual measures (e.g. consultation in the case of purchase interest, order creation) or 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.

Collection and processing when using the contact form

When you use the contact form, we will only collect your personal data (name, email address, message text) to the extent provided by you. The data processing is for the purpose of making contact.

We will only use your email address to process your request. Your data will subsequently be deleted, unless you have agreed to further processing and use.

Collection and processing when images are sent by e-mail

You have the option to send us images via e-mail in connection with the order of a personalized product.

When you send us images, we may collect your personal data (image of an identifiable person) only to the extent provided by you. The purpose of data processing is to create personalized products. The image sent serves as a template for the product and is used for this purpose (e.g. T-shirt printing).

The processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and is required for the completion of a contract with you.

Your data will not be transferred to third parties.

We only use the image you send within the scope of service provision. Your data will then be deleted subject to legal retention periods, provided that you have not consented to further processing and use.

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 the conclusion of a contract. Failure to provide it will prevent the conclusion of a contract. The processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and is required for the fulfilment of a contract with you.

Your data will be shared, for example, with shipping companies, dropshipping or fulfilment providers, payment service providers, service providers for order processing, and IT service providers. 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 European Union for which an adequacy decision has been made by the EU Commission.

Advertising

Use of the e-mail address for sending newsletters

We use your e-mail address to send you information and offers by newsletter, provided you have expressly consented to this. The data processing serves the sole purpose of advertising.

For this purpose, we process your e-mail address and any other data that you have voluntarily provided when registering for our newsletter.

The processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR with your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by using the corresponding link in the newsletter or by sending us a message. Your e-mail address will then be removed from the mailing list.

Despite removal from the mailing list, we may continue to store your e-mail address in a blacklist to prevent you from receiving future newsletter emails from us. This storage takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our and your legitimate interest in preventing the reuse of your e-mail address for sending our newsletter.

You have the right to object to this processing of your personal data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation.

Use of Mailchimp

We use the service of Rocket Science Group LLC (675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA; “Mailchimp”) for newsletter dispatch as part of order processing.

We pass on the information you provide during newsletter registration (e-mail address, first and last name, if applicable) to Mailchimp. The data processing serves the purpose of sending the newsletter and its statistical evaluation.

In order to evaluate newsletter campaigns, the newsletters sent contain a 1×1 pixel graphic (tracking pixel) or a tracking link. This enables us to determine whether you have opened the newsletter and whether you have clicked any integrated links.

Within this context, we collect personal data such as your IP address, browser type and device as well as the time. A usage profile can be generated from this data under a pseudonym. The data collected will not be used to identify you personally. The collected data is only used for statistical analysis to improve newsletter campaigns.

Your data is usually transmitted to Mailchimp servers in the USA and stored there. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Mailchimp is not certified under the TADPF. The data transfer takes place, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as suitable guarantees for the protection of personal data.

The processing of your personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in a targeted, effective advertising and user-friendly newsletter system. On grounds relating to your particular situation, you have the right to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you.

You can find more information and Mailchimp’s privacy policy on the Mailchimp and Intuit websites.

When a user calls up a website, a cookie may be saved on the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic character string which allows the browser to be clearly identified when the website is called up again.

Cookies will be stored on your computer. You therefore have full control over the use of cookies. By choosing corresponding technical settings in your internet browser, you can be notified before cookies are set and you can decide whether to accept them in each individual case, as well as prevent the storage of cookies and transmission of the data they contain.

Cookies which have already been saved may be deleted at any time. We would, however, like to point out that this may prevent you from making full use of all the functions of this website.

Technically necessary cookies

Insofar as no other information is given in the data protection declaration below, we use only these technically necessary cookies to make our offering more user-friendly, effective and secure.

Cookies also allow our systems to recognise your browser after a page change and to offer you services. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. These services require the browser to be recognised again after a page change.

The use of cookies or comparable technologies is carried out on the basis of Article 25(2) TDDDG.

Analysis

Use of Google Analytics 4

We use the Google Analytics web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; “Google”) on our website.

The data processing serves the purpose of analysing this website and its visitors as well as for marketing and advertising purposes.

In this context, the following information may be collected, among others: IP address, date and time of page view, click path, information about the browser and the device you are using, pages visited, referrer URL (website from which you accessed our website), location data and purchase activity.

Your data may be linked by Google to other data, such as your search history, your personal accounts, your usage data from other devices, and any other data Google may have about you.

Your IP address will first be truncated by us on our own servers. Google thus only receives pseudonymised data.

Google uses technologies such as cookies, web storage in the browser and tracking pixels that enable an analysis of your use of the website.

The use of cookies or similar technologies takes place with your consent on the basis of Section 25(1) sentence 1 TDDDG in conjunction with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

The processing of your personal data is carried out with your consent on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until withdrawal.

We use the extended implementation of the consent mode (Advanced Consent Mode). In this case, user data is transmitted to Google in the form of “pings” even if consent has not been granted. These pings may contain the following information, among others: IP address to derive the IP country (the IP address is not logged), date and time of the page view, URL of the pages visited, user agent, referrer URL (website from which you accessed our website) or information about the triggering of website events such as a conversion.

On the basis of this information, Google models user data in order to be able to carry out a comprehensive usage analysis despite the refusal of consent.

The information generated by this about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Google has certified itself in accordance with the TADPF and has thus undertaken to comply with European data protection principles. Both Google and US government agencies have access to your data.
