Unless otherwise specified in detail, our service providers and partners mentioned here process your personal data transmitted when using our website in third countries either on the basis of an adequacy decision of the EU Commission in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR (https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en) or on the basis of a data processing agreement using the EU standard contractual clauses in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 items c) and d) GDPR; in this agreement, the provider has undertaken to comply with EU data protection standards.

These access data are analysed exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the website and improving our offer.

Mandatory fields are marked as such, as in these cases we necessarily need the data to process the contract and we cannot send the order without their specification.

This serves the fulfilment of the contract according to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

We may forward other data to our service providers, which they use for the purpose of fraud prevention and to optimise our payment processes (e.g. invoicing, processing of contested payments, accounting support) together with the data necessary to process the payment as our processors. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in fraud prevention or an efficient payment management in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR that are overriding in the process of balancing of interests.

In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 item f) GDPR we reserve the right to further legally permitted use of your data after fulfilment of the contract on the basis of legitimate interest, especially the increase of customer loyalty through advertising. For this purpose, we may send you offers and information by letter post, as well as - insofar as we are permitted to do so according to § 7 III UWG - direct advertising for our own similar goods or services by e-mail.

7.2 Cookiebot Consent Management Plattform

On our website we use Cookiebot to inform you about the technologies we use on our website and to obtain, manage and document your consent to the processing of your personal data by these technologies. This is required under Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR to fulfil our legal obligation under Art. 7 (1) 1 GDPR to be able to prove your consent to the processing of your personal data, to which we are subject. The consent management service Cookiebot is an offer from Usercentrics A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark, which processes your data on our behalf.
After submitting your cookie declaration on our website, Cookiebot's web server stores your anonymized IP address, the date and time of your declaration, browser information, the URL from which the declaration was sent, information about your consent behaviour and an anonymous random key. In addition, a "CookieConsent" cookie is used, which contains information about your consent behaviour and the key. Your data will be deleted after twelve months, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or we reserve the right to use your data for other purposes that are legally permitted and about which we inform you in this privacy policy.

Our service providers are located and/or use servers in the following countries, for which the European Commission has established an adequate level of data protection by decision: USA.

The adequacy decision for the USA applies as the basis for third country transfers, provided that the respective service provider is certified. Certification is available.

 

7.3 Information on third country transfer (data transfer to third countries)

We use technology from service providers on our website whose headquarters and/or server locations may be in third countries outside the EU or EEA. If there is no EU Commission adequacy decision for this country, an adequate level of data protection must be ensured by means of other suitable guarantees.

Suitable guarantees in the form of contractually agreed standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or binding internal data protection rules (Binding Corporate Rules) are possible in principle, but require a prior review by the contracting parties as to whether an adequate level of protection can be guaranteed. According to the case law of the ECJ, it may be necessary to take additional protective measures for this purpose.

In principle, we have agreed the standard data protection clauses issued by the EU Commission with the technology providers we use who process personal data in a third country. Where possible, we also agree on additional safeguards to ensure that sufficient data protection is guaranteed in the third countries without an adequacy decision.

Notwithstanding this, it may happen that, despite all contractual and technical measures, the level of data protection in the third country does not correspond to that in the EU. For these cases, we ask you, if necessary, in the context of cookie consent, for your consent in accordance with Art. 49 (1) lit. a GDPR to the transfer of your personal data to a third country.

In particular, there is a risk that local authorities in the third country may not have sufficiently limited access rights to your personal data from a European data protection perspective, that we as the data exporter or you as the data subject may not be aware of this and/or that you may not have sufficient legal remedies to prevent and/or take action against such access.

In particular, the following countries are currently among the third countries without an adequacy decision by the EU Commission (example enumeration):
China
Russia
Taiwan

You can find out which third countries we transfer data to in the data protection notices for the respective tool and/or service we use for consent management/Consent Manager Platform (CMP).

8. Use of cookies and other technologies

We use the following cookies and other third-party technologies on our website. Unless otherwise specified for the individual technologies, this is done on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The data collected in this context will be deleted after the relevant purpose has been fulfilled and we have ended the use of the respective technology. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. Further information on your withdrawal options can be found in the section "cookies and further technologies". Further information, including the basis of our cooperation with the service providers can be found within the respective technologies. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this privacy policy.


Other providers of web analytics - and online-marketing-services

 

8.1 Use of Matomo as a software solution for web analytics

For the purpose of web analytics, the software Matomo of Innocraft Ltd., 7 Waterloo Quay, PO Box 625, 6140 Wellington, New Zealand automatically collects and stores data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website), from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms. Cookies may be used for this purpose. The pseudonymised user profiles will not be merged with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym without explicit consent of the user, which must be given separately. The data processing by Matomo takes place on our servers.

8.2 Google Ads

We use Google Ads and in connection therewith the Google Ads Remarketing Tag, operated by Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland and Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
If you have reached our website via an advertisement in Google search or on other websites, Google wants to set "cookies" in your browser in order to recognise it. Google uses cookies to measure the success of the ads by collecting the number of views (frequency). This data is also transmitted to Google servers in the USA and, in addition to the unique cookie ID, may contain opt-out information from your browser to prevent further targeting by advertising.

This can be done across devices if you have consented to Google in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 item a) GDPR that the information from the browsing history of your respective devices is linked to your Google account. For example, advertising can be displayed in your smartphone browser in accordance with your interests, which were determined based on your browsing behaviour in browsers of other devices, such as PCs or tablets. Google creates usage profiles from your data for the purpose of target group-oriented advertising and market research and also evaluates these for the purpose of designing its own offers. In order to revoke your consent, you may, for example, deactivate Google's cross-device personalised advertising: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/ For more information, click here: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996

We have not included a Google-Ads tag on our website and do not use Google‘s conversion tracking and remarketing solutions. We can use this to set up an audience source on our website and thus reach users who have already visited our website. This allows our advertisements to be displayed to you as you continue to browse. Google Cookies or other identifiers stored in your browser are used to recognise your browser.

We do not pass on data from visitors to our website and the actions they take there to Google Ads.

In accordance to Art. 6 I lit. f) GDPR our legitimate interest in using Google Ads is to advertise our offers and to attract new customers.

You can prevent cookies from being saved by selecting "block cookies" in your browser settings. Data is only collected if you have activated cookies for analysis and marketing purposes. To view your cookie settings and change them if necessary, please see at 2.1.

Additionally, all common browsers offer you options for individual handling of cookies. You can install appropriate add-ons or specify that only third-party cookies are blocked, that all cookies are deleted after closing the browser (NOTE: The same then also applies to opt-out-cookies) or that websites are generally not allowed to track user activity (do-not-track).

You can also install AdBlocker add-ons or plug-ins. You can deactivate Google tracking and the use of cookies and device detection here: 

 https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb#display_optout. Cookies from www.googleadservices.com werden generell blockiert. As an alternative, you can manage the use of device detection in your settings, as described here: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/1660762#mob

8.3 hCaptcha

We use the hCaptcha anti-bot service (hereinafter "hCaptcha") on our website. This service is provided by Intuition Machines, Inc., a Delaware US Corporation ("IMI"). hCaptcha is used to check whether the data entered on our website (such as on a login page or contact form) has been entered by a human or by an automated program. To do this, hCaptcha analyzes the behavior of the website or mobile app visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website or mobile app visitor enters a part of the website or app with hCaptcha enabled. For the analysis, hCaptcha evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the visitor has been on the website or app, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis will be forwarded to IMI. hCaptcha analysis in the "invisible mode" may take place completely in the background. Website or app visitors are not advised that such an analysis is taking place if the user is not shown a challenge. According to the data processing agreement and information provided by Intuition Machines, Inc., your IP address is protected by hashing and anonymization and processed within the EEA. Data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (DSGVO): the website or mobile app operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its site from abusive automated crawling and spam. IMI acts as a "data processor" acting on behalf of its customers as defined under the GDPR, and a "service provider" for the purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). For more information about hCaptcha and IMI's privacy policy and terms of use, please visit the following links: https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy and https://www.hcaptcha.com/terms.

8.4 OpenStreetMap

We use a map excerpt from OpenStreetMap on our website (https://www.openstreetmap.de/), which is an open source mapping service to help you locate us and thus simplify your planning. In order for you to have access to the map, your IP address is forwarded to OpenStreetMap servers after you have explicitly requested the content to be displayed.
When using the route planner function, the location of your starting point will also be sent there. Our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 I lit. f) DSGVO for the use of the map service is the display and convenient locatability of our site.
If you would like to find out how your data is stored on OpenStreetMap, please visit the OpenStreetMap privacy page https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy or https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Legal_FAQ

8.5 Seed calculator

For the seed calculator, we use the technical solution of the ‚Micro-Farm Planner‘ from Rukola Soft UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Schierkenring, 14, 38543 Hillerse, Germany. Further information on data processing can be found here: https://www.micro-farm-planner.com/en/imprint-and-data-protection/

9. Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge/other widgets

Provided that you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, Trusted Shops widgets are integrated on this website to display the Trusted Shops services (e.g. Trustmark, collected reviews) and to offer buyers Trusted Shops products after they have placed 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 whom we are jointly responsible for data protection according to Art. 26 GDPR. Within the scope of this data protection notice, we inform you in the following about the essential contractual contents in accordance with Art. 26 (2) GDPR.
Within the framework of the joint responsibility existing between us and Trusted Shops AG, please preferably contact Trusted Shops using the contact options provided in the privacy policy, if you have any data protection questions and wish to assert your rights. Irrespective of this, however, you can always contact the person responsible of your choice. Your enquiry will then, if necessary, be passed on to the other person responsible for a response.

9.1 Data processing when integrating the Trustbadge/other widgets

The Trustbadge is provided by a US-American CDN provider (content delivery network). An adequate level of data protection is ensured 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. Where service providers 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 the call- up. Immediately after the data collection the IP address is anonymised so that the stored data cannot be assigned to you personally. The anonymised data are used in particular for statistical purposes and for error analysis.

9.2 Data processing after order completion 

Provided you have given your consent, the Trustbadge accesses order information stored in your terminal equipment (order total, order number, product purchased if applicable) and your e-mail address after the order has been completed. 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 in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

This serves to verify whether you are already registered for Trusted Shops services. If this is the case, further processing will take place in accordance with the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops. 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 conclude the insurance as part of your possibly already existing user contract.

For this purpose, the Trustbadge accesses the following information stored in the terminal equipment 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 explicitly decide to take out buyer protection by clicking on the correspondingly designated button in the so-called Trustcard. If you decide to use the services, further processing is based on the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, in order to be able to complete your registration for buyer protection and insure the order, as well as to be able to subsequently send you rating invitations by e-mail if necessary.

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 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 from the USA are generally certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information is available here. Where service providers are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been concluded as a suitable guarantee.
