Die Google-Marketing-Services erlauben uns Werbeanzeigen für und auf unserer Website gezielter anzuzeigen, um Nutzern nur Anzeigen zu präsentieren, die potentiell deren Interessen entsprechen. Falls einem Nutzer z.B. Anzeigen für Produkte angezeigt werden, für die er sich auf anderen Webseiten interessiert hat, spricht man hierbei vom „Remarketing“.

(Re)marketing-Tags (unsichtbare Grafiken oder Code, auch als „Web Beacons“ bezeichnet) in die Webseite eingebunden. Mit deren Hilfe wird auf dem Gerät der Nutzer ein individuelles Cookie, d.h. eine kleine Datei abgespeichert (statt Cookies können auch vergleichbare Technologien verwendet werden). Die Cookies können von verschiedenen Domains gesetzt werden, unter anderem von google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com oder googleadservices.com.

Dies gilt nicht, wenn ein Nutzer Google ausdrücklich erlaubt hat, die Daten ohne diese Pseudonymisierung zu verarbeiten. Die von Google-Marketing-Services über die Nutzer gesammelten Informationen werden an Google übermittelt und auf Googles Servern in den USA gespeichert. 19.5.

Sie erhalten jedoch keine Informationen, mit denen sich Nutzer persönlich identifizieren lassen. 19.6.

Veränderungen der Eingabefelder, des Designs, etc.). Für diese Testzwecke werden Cookies auf den Geräten der Nutzer abgelegt. Dabei werden nur pseudonyme Daten der Nutzer verarbeitet. 19.9.

In addition, our newsletters contain information about our products, offers, promotions and our company. 22.3 Double opt-in and logging: Registration for our newsletter is carried out in a so-called double opt-in process. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail in which you are asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with other e-mail addresses.

However, ActiveCampaign does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or pass the data on to third parties. We trust in the reliability and IT and data security of ActiveCampaign. ActiveCampaign is covered by the data protection agreement EU-US Privacy Shield and thus undertakes to comply with the EU data protection requirements.

Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of the retrieval are initially collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention nor that of ActiveCampaign to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users. 7/22 Online call and data management: There are cases where we direct newsletter recipients to ActiveCampaign's websites. For example, our newsletters contain a link that newsletter recipients can use to access the newsletters online (e.g. in the event of display problems in the e-mail program). Furthermore, newsletter recipients can subsequently correct their data, such as the e-mail address. Likewise, the Privacy policy of ActiveCampaign can only be accessed on their site. In this context, we pointed out that cookies are used on the websites of ActiveCampaign and thus personal data is processed by ActiveCampaign, its partners and service providers used (e.g. Google Analytics).

A separate cancellation of the sending via ActiveCampaign or the statistical analysis is not possible. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter at the end of each newsletter. 22.9 The newsletter is sent via "Klaviyo", 225 Franklin St, Boston, MA 02110, USA. The e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in the context of these notes, are stored on the servers of Klaviyo in the USA. Klaviyo uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, according to its own information, Klaviyo may use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimize the dispatch and display of the newsletters or for economic purposes to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, Klaviyo does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass them on to third parties. We trust in the reliability and IT and data security of Klaviyo. Klaviyo is certified under the US-EU data protection agreement "Privacy Shield" and thus undertakes to comply with EU data protection requirements. Furthermore, we have concluded a "Data Processing Agreement" with Klaviyo. This is a contract in which Klaviyo undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process it on our behalf in accordance with its data protection provisions and, in particular, not to pass it on to third parties. Here you can find the Privacy policy of Klaviyo in English language. 22.10. Insofar as we use a dispatch service provider, the dispatch service provider may, according to its own information, use this data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assignment to a user, to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimize the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, the dispatch service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass them on to third parties. 22.11. Performance measurement - The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened, or if we use a shipping service provider, from their server. In the course of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of the retrieval are collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times. The statistical surveys also include the determination of whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention nor, if used, that of the dispatch service provider to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users. 22.12. The dispatch of the newsletter and the measurement of success are based on the consent of the recipients pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 DSGVO in conjunction with § 7 para. 2 No. 3 UWG or on the basis of the legal permission pursuant to § 7 para. 3 UWG. 22.13. The logging of the registration process takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO and serves as proof of consent to receive the newsletter. 23. integration of services and contents of third parties 23.1 We use content or service offers of third-party providers within our online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) to integrate content or services offered by third-party providers, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as "content"). This always requires that the third-party providers of this content are aware of the IP address of the user, since without the IP address they could not send the content to their browser. The IP address is thus required for the display of this content. We endeavor to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. The "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website.

Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. In addition, PayPal offers the option of processing virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not maintain a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an email address, which is why there is no classic account number. PayPal makes it possible to initiate online payments to third parties or to receive payments as well. PayPal also assumes trustee functions and offers buyer protection services. The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg. If the data subject selects "PayPal" as a payment option during the ordering process in our online store, data of the data subject will be automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transmission of personal data required for payment processing. The personal data transmitted to PayPal are usually first name, last name, address, e-mail address, IP address, telephone number, cell phone number or other data necessary for payment processing. Also necessary for the processing of the purchase contract are such personal data that are related to the respective order. The purpose of transmitting the data is payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transmit personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest for the transmission. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller may be transferred by PayPal to credit reporting agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to check identity and creditworthiness. PayPal may disclose the personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors, insofar as this is necessary for the fulfillment of contractual obligations or the data is to be processed on behalf. The data subject has the possibility to revoke the consent to the handling of personal data at any time vis-à-vis PayPal. A revocation does not affect personal data that must necessarily be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing. The applicable data protection provisions of PayPal can be here can be retrieved. - We use Stripe, an offer of the American Stripe Inc. (hereinafter "Stripe") for the processing of payments (legal basis according to DSGVO, if and to the extent applicable: Art. 6 para. 1 let. b u. f DSGVO). The data processed by the payment service providers includes inventory data, such as name and address, bank data, such as account numbers or credit card numbers, passwords, TANs and checksums, as well as contract, totals and recipient-related information. The information is required to carry out the transactions. However, the data entered is only processed by the payment service providers and stored with them. I.e. we do not receive any account or credit card related information, but only information with confirmation or negative information of the payment. Under certain circumstances, the payment service providers transmit the data to credit agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to check identity and creditworthiness. In this regard, we refer to the terms and conditions and data protection information of the payment service providers. For the payment transactions, the terms and conditions and data protection information of the respective payment service providers apply, which can be accessed within the respective websites or transaction applications. We also refer to these for the purpose of further information and assertion of revocation, information and other data subject rights. Stripe is certified under both the EU-U.S. and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield, thereby ensuring adequate data protection. In particular, Stripe has published the following information on the nature, scope and purpose of data processing: https://stripe.com/ch/privacy, https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TQOUAA4. - We also offer instant bank transfer. In this case, we receive the transfer credit immediately. This speeds up the entire ordering process. All you need is your account number, bank code, PIN and TAN. Using the secure payment form of Sofort AG, which is not accessible to merchants, Sofortüberweisung automatically places a transfer in your online bank account in real time. The purchase amount is thereby sofort and transferred directly to the bank account of the merchant. If you choose the payment method Sofortüberweisung, a pre-filled form opens at the end of the ordering process. This already contains our bank details. In addition, the form already shows the transfer amount and the reason for payment. You must now select the country where you have your online banking account and enter the bank code. Then enter the same data as you did when you registered for online banking (account number and PIN). Confirm your order by entering the TAN. Immediately afterwards, you will receive confirmation of the transaction. In principle, every Internet user in Germany and Austria can use Sofortüberweisung as a payment method if they have an activated online banking account with PIN/TAN procedure. Please note that Sofortüberweisung is not yet available at a few banks.

With the help of the Facebook pixel, it is possible for Facebook to determine the visitors to our offer as a target group for the display of advertisements, so-called "Facebook Ads". Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our Internet offer. This means that with the help of the Facebook pixel we want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not have a harassing effect. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad. The Facebook pixel is directly integrated by Facebook when our websites are called up and can save a so-called cookie, i.e. a small file, on your device. If you subsequently log in to Facebook or visit Facebook while logged in, the visit to our offer will be noted in your profile. The data collected about you is anonymous for us, so it does not offer us any conclusions about the identity of the user. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible. The processing of the data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook's data usage policy. Accordingly, you can find more information on how the remarketing pixel works and generally on the display of Facebook ads, in Facebook's data usage policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. You can object to the collection by the Facebook pixel and use of your data to display Facebook ads. To do so, you can visit the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there on the settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or the opposition via the U.S. side http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU side http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ explain.
