8. Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge / other widgets
If you have given your consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO, Trusted Shops widgets are integrated on this website to display Trusted Shops services (e.g. seal of approval, collected ratings) and to offer Trusted Shops products to buyers after an order.
The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are an offer of Trusted Shops AG, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne ("Trusted Shops"), with which we are jointly responsible for data protection according to Art. 26 DSGVO. We inform you in the following about the essential contractual contents according to Art. 26 para. 2 DSGVO within the framework of this data protection notice.
Within the framework of the joint responsibility existing between us and Trusted Shops AG, please contact Trusted Shops preferably in case of data protection questions and to assert your rights using the contact options specified in the Data protection information. Regardless of this, however, you can always contact the responsible person of your choice. Your request will then, if necessary, be forwarded to the further responsible person for answering.
8.1 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 can be accessed here for the USA. Service providers from the USA are generally certified under the EU-U.S. 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 a suitable guarantee.
When the Trustbadge is called up, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which also contains your IP address, the date and time of the call-up, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the call-up. 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.
8.2 Data processing after order completion
If you have given your consent, the trust badge accesses order information stored in your terminal device (order total, order number, purchased product, if applicable) and e-mail address after order completion and your e-mail address is hashed using a cryptological one-way function. The hash value is then transmitted to Trusted Shops with the order information pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO. This serves to check whether you are already registered for Trusted Shops services. If this is the case, further processing takes place according to the agreement between you and Trusted Shops contractual agreement.
If you are not yet registered for the Services or do not give your consent to automatic recognition via the Trustbadge, you will subsequently be given the opportunity to register manually for the use of the Services or to complete the protection within the scope of your possibly already existing usage contract.
For this purpose, the Trustbadge accesses the following information stored in the terminal device you use after you have completed your order: Order total, order number and email address. This is necessary so that we can offer you buyer protection. The data is only transmitted to Trusted Shops if you actively decide to conclude the buyer protection by clicking on the correspondingly designated button in the so-called trust card. If you decide to use the services, the further processing is based on the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, in order to complete your registration for buyer protection and to secure the order and, if necessary, to send you rating invitations by e-mail.
Trusted Shops uses service providers in the areas of hosting, monitoring and logging. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO 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 (DPF). Further information can be found here. Where service providers used are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been concluded as a suitable guarantee.
