We use web analytics to optimise our website and also for the purpose of cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Google-Analytics Components’ operating company is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, US.

The purpose of Google Analytics Components is to analyse website traffic visiting our website. With the help of data and information derived from this analysis, Google evaluates the use of our website and compiles online reports identifying activities on our website and services offered therein.

Google-Analytics stores a Cookie on your information technology system, with which Google can analyse the use of our website.

Furthermore, you have the right to object to or prevent the recording and compiling of data produced by Google Analytics resulting from the use of this website as well as the processing of personal data by Google. To this end, you can download and install a browser add-on from the following link:

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

This will inform Google-Analytics via Javascript that you do not wish to have any data or information related to website visits transferred to Google Analytics. Google will treat the installation of this browser add-on as an objection. Should your information technology system have to be deleted, reformatted or reinstalled at some point in the future, you will have to reinstall the browser add-on so as to disable Google Analytics. You can reinstall or reactivate your browser add-on, as long as it has been uninstalled or deactivated.

21. Data Protection Provisions for the use of PayPal as Payment Method

We have integrated components of PayPal into our website. PayPal is an online-payment service provider, which allows you to make payments via an online private or business internet account. Furthermore, PayPal offers you the option to make virtual payments via credit card without a PayPal account. Instead of a typical account number, a PayPal account can be maintained via an e-mail address. PayPal offers buyer protection and will act as agent or custodian with respect to your funds as well.

The European operating company for PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.A.R.L. & Cie S.C.A., 22 – 24 Boulevard Royale, 2449 Luxemburg, Luxemburg.

When you are ordering an item from our online shop and opt for PayPal as payment method, your data is automatically transferred to PayPal. By choosing this method of payment, you are agreeing to the transfer of personal data necessary for the completion of the transaction.

All personal data necessary for the completion of the payment are transferred to PayPal, including your first name, surname, your address, your e-mail address, your IP address and telephone number or mobile phone number.

The transfer of personal data is used for the purpose of completing the transaction and to prevent fraud. To this end, we will transfer your personal data to PayPal, if this is required in our legitimate business interests. Personal data transferred to PayPal may be used for identification purposes or to determine creditworthiness and may also be shared with certain financial institutions in certain circumstances.

PayPal shares personal data in certain circumstances with companies and service providers associated with them or even sub-contractors, if it is necessary for the fulfilment of their contractual obligations or if the data processing is necessary for an instruction to be carried out.

You have the right to revoke your consent to the use and storage by PayPal of your personal data at any time. A revocation does not extend, however, to personally identifiable data, which must be processed, used or transferred for the purpose of the conclusion of a transaction as per contractual obligations.
