2 Collection, Processing, and Use of Personal Data
You can generally visit our websites without us collecting any personal data from you. Personal data is only collected if you provide it to us voluntarily for the purpose of concluding a contract, opening a customer account, or when contacting us. This data will be used without your explicit consent solely for contract fulfillment and processing your inquiries. After the contract has been fully completed and the purchase price has been fully paid, your data will be stored in compliance with tax and commercial law retention periods but will be deleted after these periods have expired.
Additionally, personal data is collected when you subscribe to our email newsletter. This data will be used by us for our own advertising purposes in the form of our email newsletter, provided you have given your explicit consent as follows:
"I would like to subscribe to the newsletter. I can unsubscribe at any time."
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to us. After unsubscribing, your email address will be deleted immediately.

3.2 Credit Check and Identity Verification

Klarna obtains information about your previous payment behavior, taking into account your respective legitimate interests in excluding the transmission or use of data from the following credit agencies, which store data for the purpose of providing information:
- Schufa Holding AG, Kormoranweg 5, D-65201 Wiesbaden,

4 Cookies
Among other things, our online shop uses so-called "cookies", which serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure - for example, to speed up navigation on our platform. Cookies also enable us to measure the frequency of page views and general navigation. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. We would like to point out that some of these cookies are transferred from our server to your computer system, usually so-called "session cookies". "Session cookies" are characterized by the fact that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive after the browser session ends. Other cookies remain on your computer system and allow us to recognize your computer system on your next visit (so-called persistent cookies). Of course, you can refuse cookies at any time, provided your browser allows this. Please note that it may happen that certain functions of this website cannot be used or can only be used to a limited extent if your browser is set to not accept cookies (from our website).
5 Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for website operators, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage.

6 Use of Facebook Plugins
We have integrated so-called plugins of the social network facebook.com (hereinafter "Facebook") into our website. Facebook is a company of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA.
Each time you visit a page of our website that is equipped with such a plugin, the plugin causes the browser you are using to load and display the visual representation of the plugin from the Facebook server. In doing so, the Facebook server is informed which specific page of our website you are currently visiting.
If you are a member of Facebook and are logged in to Facebook while visiting our website, Facebook recognizes through the information sent by the plugin which specific page of our website you are currently visiting and assigns this to your personal user account on Facebook. If you now activate one of the plugins, for example by clicking the "Like" button or by posting a comment, this information will be sent to your personal user account on Facebook and stored there. In addition, the information that you have visited our website will be transmitted to Facebook, regardless of whether you activate one of the plugins or not.
To prevent Facebook from transmitting and storing data about you and your browsing behavior, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. You can find Facebook's privacy policy with more information about the collection and use of data by Facebook, your rights in this regard, and the settings options for protecting your privacy at the following internet address: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php
