Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge / other widgets

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. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests, in optimal marketing by enabling secure shopping in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are an offer from Trusted Shops AG, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne ("Trusted Shops"), with which 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, 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 controller for a response.

1. data processing when integrating the trust badge/other widgets

The trust badge 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 is available here for the USA. 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.

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.

2. data processing after order completion

After completing your order, the Trustbadge accesses the order information stored in your end device (order total, order number, product purchased if applicable) and e-mail address. This is necessary in order to be able to offer you the Trusted Shops services and to automatically secure your order if necessary. For this purpose, your e-mail address, which is hashed using a cryptographic one-way function, is transmitted to Trusted Shops. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. 

This serves to check whether you are already registered for services with Trusted Shops and is therefore necessary for the fulfillment of our and Trusted Shops' overriding legitimate interests in the provision of the buyer protection linked to the specific order and the transactional evaluation services pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. 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 have not yet registered for the services, you will then be given the opportunity to do so for the first time. Further processing after registration is also based on the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops. If you do not register, all transmitted data will be automatically deleted by Trusted Shops and a personal reference is then no longer possible.

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 used from the USA are generally certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. 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.
