8. Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge/other widgets

Trusted Shops widgets are integrated into 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 prevail within the context of a balancing of interests, in optimal marketing by enabling secure shopping in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are offered by Trusted Shops AG, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne ("Trusted Shops"), with whom we are jointly responsible for data protection pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. Within the scope of this data protection notice, we inform you below about the essential contractual content in accordance with Art. 26 (2) GDPR.

Regardless of this, you can always contact the controller of your choice. Your inquiry will then be forwarded to the other controller for response, if necessary.

8.1 Data processing when integrating the Trustbadge/other widgets

The Trustbadge is provided by a US CDN (Content Delivery Network) provider. An appropriate level of data protection is ensured by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, which is available for the US here . Service providers used in the US are generally certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information is available here . If service providers used are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been concluded as an appropriate safeguard.

When you access the Trustbadge, 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 you personally. The anonymized data is used primarily for statistical purposes and error analysis.

8.2 Data processing after order completion

After completing your order, the Trustbadge accesses the order information stored on your device (order total, order number, and any purchased product) and your email address. This is necessary to offer you Trusted Shops services and, if necessary, to automatically secure your order. For this purpose, your email address, hashed using a cryptographic one-way function, is transmitted to Trusted Shops. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

This is to check whether you are already registered for services with Trusted Shops and is therefore necessary to fulfill our and Trusted Shops' overriding legitimate interests in providing the buyer protection linked to the specific order and the transactional evaluation services in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If this is the case, further processing will take place in accordance with the contractual agreement concluded between you and Trusted Shops. If you are 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 governed by the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops. If you do not register, all transmitted data will be automatically deleted by Trusted Shops and personal reference will then no longer be possible.

Trusted Shops uses service providers in the areas of hosting, monitoring, and logging. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation. Processing may take place in third countries (USA and Israel). An appropriate level of data protection is ensured in each case by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, which is available for the USA here and for Israelhere . Service providers used in the USA are generally certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information can be found here .
