Analytics data/Google Analytics

Wir benutzen Google Analytics, einen Webanalysedienst der Google Inc. („Google“). Google Analytics wird uns von Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland) bereitgestellt. Google verarbeitet die Daten zur Website-Nutzung in unserem Auftrag und verpflichtet sich vertraglich zu Maßnahmen, um die Sicherheit und Vertraulichkeit der verarbeiteten Daten zu gewährleisten.

Es werden niemals persönliche Daten wie Name, Anschrift oder Kontaktdaten an Google Analytics übertragen!

Die Benutzung erfolgt auf der Grundlage des Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. f. DSGVO. Google Analytics verwendet sog. „Cookies“, Textdateien, die auf Ihrem Computer gespeichert werden und die eine Analyse der Benutzung der Webseite durch Sie ermöglichen. Die durch den Cookie erzeugten Informationen über Ihre Benutzung der Webseite wie

  • Technische Informationen wie Browser-Typ/-Version, Internetanbieter, Endgerät und Bildschirmauflösung
  • operating system used,
  • Referrer URL (the page visited before),
  • Hostname des zugreifenden Rechners (IP-Adresse in gekürzter Form, sodass keine eindeutige Zuordnung möglich ist),
  • Time of the server request,
  • Aufgerufene Seiten
  • Bestellungen inkl. des Umsatzes und der bestellten Produkte
  • Die Erreichung von “Website-Zielen” (z.B. Kontaktanfragen und Newsletter-Anmeldungen)
  • Ihr Verhalten auf den Seiten (beispielsweise Verweildauer, Klicks, Scrollverhalten)
  • Ihr ungefährer Standort (Land und Stadt)

werden in der Regel an einen Server von Google in den USA übertragen und dort gespeichert. Wir weisen darauf hin, dass in den USA datenschutzrechtlich nicht das gleiche Schutzniveau wie innerhalb der EU garantiert werden kann.
Die im Rahmen von Google Analytics von Ihrem Browser übermittelte IP-Adresse wird nicht mit anderen Daten von Google zusammengeführt. Wir haben zudem auf dieser Webseite Google Analytics um den Code „anonymizeIP“ erweitert. Dies garantiert die Maskierung Ihrer IP-Adresse, sodass alle Daten anonym erhoben werden. Nur in Ausnahmefällen wird die volle IP-Adresse an einen Server von Google in den USA übertragen und dort gekürzt.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
Google Analytics speichert Cookies in Ihrem Webbrowser (dort, von wo auf unsere Seite zugegriffen wird) für die Dauer von zwei Jahren seit Ihrem letzten Besuch. Diese Cookies enthaltene eine zufallsgenerierte User-ID, mit der Sie bei zukünftigen Website-Besuchen wiedererkannt werden können. Die aufgezeichneten Daten werden zusammen mit der zufallsgenerierten User-ID gespeichert, was die Auswertung pseudonymer Nutzerprofile ermöglicht. Diese nutzerbezogenen Daten werden automatisch nach 14 Monaten gelöscht. Sonstige Daten bleiben in aggregierter Form unbefristet gespeichert.

Sie können die Erfassung der durch das Cookie erzeugten und auf Ihre Nutzung der Webseite bezogenen Daten (inkl. Ihrer IP-Adresse) an Google sowie die Verarbeitung dieser Daten durch Google verhindern, indem sie das unter dem folgenden Link verfügbare Browser-Plugin herunterladen und installieren: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

We continue to use Google Analytics to analyze data from Double Click cookies and also AdWords for statistical purposes. If you do not wish to do this, you deactivate via the Ads Preferences Manager (https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/?hl=de).

Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found, for example, in the Google Analytics Help (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de).

Google links the "Google Analytics Remarketing" analysis tool with cross-device functions of Google AdWords and DoubleClick. These make it possible to assign several Internet-enabled devices (e.g. tablet and smartphone) to the same person. The user identified in this way can then be shown the same interest-based and personalized advertising messages on all devices. We use Google Analytics Remarketing.

This website uses the Google Tag Manager. Through this service, website tags can be managed through an interface. The Google Tool Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tool Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags, insofar as these are implemented with the Google Tag Manager.

Store: What data we collect and how long we store this data

We run our online store with Woocommerce. We collect information about you during the ordering process in our store. While you visit our website, we collect information about you. While you visit our website and go through the ordering process, we record:

  • Viewed products: Here we show you products that you have recently viewed.
  • Location, IP address and browser type: We use this for purposes such as estimating taxes and shipping costs
  • Shipping Address: We will ask you to provide this, for example, so that we can determine shipping costs before you place an order and send you the order.

We also use cookies to track the contents of your shopping cart while you visit our website.

When you shop with us, we will ask you to provide information such as your name, billing and shipping address, email address and phone number, credit card details/payment details, and optional account information such as username and password. We use this information for the following purposes:

  • Sending information about your account and order
  • Response to your inquiries, including refunds and complaints
  • Processing of payment transactions and prevention of fraud
  • Setting up your account for our store
  • Compliance with all legal obligations, for example, the calculation of taxes

When you create an account with us, we store your name, address, email address and phone number. This information will be used to fill out payment information for future orders. The account and all related information will remain until the account is closed.

We typically store information about you for as long as we need and are required to store it for the purpose for which it was collected and used. For example, we store order information for 10 years for tax and billing purposes. This includes your name, email address, and billing and shipping address. All users can view, change or delete their personal information at any time (username cannot be changed). Site administrators can also view and change this information.

We also store comments or ratings if you decide to leave them. We store these, including metadata, indefinitely. This way, we can automatically detect and approve follow-up comments instead of keeping them in a moderation queue.

Members of our team have access to the information you provide. For example, both administrators and store managers can access the following:

  • Order information such as products purchased, the time of purchase and the shipping address and
  • Customer information such as your name, email address, and billing and shipping information.

Our team members have access to this information to process orders, make refunds and assist you.

We accept payments with PayPal. During the payment process, some of your data will be passed on to PayPal. Only information necessary for the processing or execution of the payment will be shared, such as total purchase price and payment information.

Normally, comments are not possible on our website and blog. If we do, we collect the data displayed in the comment form, as well as the visitor's IP address and the user agent string (this identifies the browser) to help detect spam. If you don't comment, we don't collect any data either.

An anonymized string (also called a hash) may be created from your email address and passed to the Gravatar service to verify that you are using it. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Visitor comments are examined by an automated service for spam detection.

Speziell: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest

The Instagram feed plugin uses the Instagram API on our website front-end. All data received from Instagram via API is cached in WordPress database for a short period of time to allow front-end optimization. You can ask us to delete your Instagram data if it is accidentally cached in our website database with hashtag feed data. Instagram stores some cookies in website visitors' browsers via API data. These cookies are mostly used for security reasons. They are governed under the terms of Instagram's privacy policy.

Our website uses the Facebook API to obtain public data for our Facebook feed. We are happy to delete your Facebook data if it was accidentally cached in our website's database of feed data. Facebook loads some JS and embedded content that visitors can follow. Facebook embeds are governed under the terms of the Facebook Privacy Policy

Facebook Remarketing and Conversion Tracking with Facebook Pixel

We have integrated a Facebook Pixel (officially Visitor Action Pixel, until 2016: Conversion Tracking Pixel) and generate specific tracking codes to track what potential customers have done on our site. This allows us as advertisers to track whether our campaigns are achieving the desired success. The Facebook Pixel embedded on our site allows us to track the user's journey all the way to the completion of the purchase. This is called conversion tracking.

Tracking is done via cookie, not via the Facebook pixel itself.

Facebook Custom Audiences

We also run advertising on Facebook. There we can create "Custom Audiences". Our list of existing customers that we already have on other platforms like Instagram and advertise in the Audience Network, Facebook compares them and checks whether the customers of the other platforms also use Facebook. If this is the case, Facebook places targeted ads with individualized content.

Über den Pinterest Tag erheben wir personenbezogene Daten und übermitteln sie an Pinterest. Rufen Nutzer eine Seite mit einem Pinterest Tag auf, stellt ihr Browser eine direkte Verbindung zu den Servern von Pinterest her. Der Pinterest Tag übermittelt dann Userdaten, z.B.

  • Geräteinformationen,
  • das verwendete Betriebssystem,
  • die IP-Adresse und
  • das Verhalten auf der entsprechenden Webseite

an das Netzwerk in den USA. Dabei kann es sich um personenbezogene Daten handeln. Dazu platzieren wir mit dem Pinterest Tag auf unser Seite einen Code, mit dem dem wir bestimmte Conversions erfassen. Dies ist durch Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO geregelt.
