Cookies may be used for this purpose. Your IP address will not be merged with other Google data. Data processing is carried out on the basis of an agreement on order processing by Google.

For the purpose of optimized marketing of our website, we have activated the data sharing settings for "Google products and services". This allows Google to access the data collected and processed by Google Analytics and then use it to improve Google services. The release of data to Google within the scope of these data release settings is based on an additional agreement between data controllers. We have no influence on the subsequent data processing by Google.

We also use the Google Analytics extension function Google Optimize to create and carry out tests.

We use the so-called user ID function for the purpose of optimized marketing of our website. With the help of this function, we can assign a unique, permanent ID to your interaction data for one or more sessions on our online presence and thus analyze your user behavior across devices and sessions.

For web analysis, the Google Analytics Google Signals extension function enables so-called "cross-device tracking". If your internet-enabled devices are linked to your Google account and you have activated the "personalized advertising" setting in your Google account, Google can create reports on your usage behavior (in particular the cross-device user numbers), even if you change your device. We do not process any personal data in this respect; we only receive statistics generated on the basis of Google Signals.

For web analysis and advertising purposes, the extension function of Google Analytics enables the so-called DoubleClick cookie to recognize your browser when you visit other websites. Google will use this information to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

 GOOGLE ADSENSE

Our website markets space for third-party advertisements via Google AdSense. These ads are displayed to you in various places on this website. The so-called DoubleClick cookie enables the display of interest-based advertising through the collection and processing of data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information and information about your use of our website) and the automatic assignment of a pseudonymous user ID, which is used to determine interests based on visits to this and other websites.

For advertising purposes in Google search results and on third-party websites, the so-called Google Remarketing Cookie is set when you visit our website, which automatically enables interest-based advertising by collecting and processing data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information and information about your use of our website) and by means of a pseudonymous CookieID and on the basis of the pages you visit. Any further data processing will only take place if you have activated the "personalized advertising" setting in your Google account. In this case, if you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing.

For website analysis and event tracking, we use Google Ads Conversion Tracking to measure your subsequent usage behavior if you have reached our website via a Google Ads ad. For this purpose, cookies may be used and data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website based on events specified by us, such as visiting a website or subscribing to a newsletter) may be collected, from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms.

As part of the so-called extended data matching, information is also collected and stored in hashed form for matching purposes, which can be used to identify individuals (e.g. names, email addresses and telephone numbers). For this purpose, a cookie is automatically set by the Facebook pixel when you visit our website, which automatically enables your browser to be recognized by means of a pseudonymous cookie ID when you visit other websites. Facebook (by Meta) will merge this information with other data from your Facebook account and use it to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity, in particular personalized and group-based advertising.

The joint controllership is limited to the collection of data and its transmission to Meta Platforms Ireland. Subsequent data processing by Meta Platforms Ireland is not covered by this.

Based on the statistics generated via Facebook Pixel about visitor activities on our website, we operate group-based advertising on Facebook (by Meta) via Facebook Custom Audience by determining the characteristics of the respective target group. Facebook (by Meta) acts as our data processor in the context of the extended data comparison (see above) that takes place to determine the respective target group.

Based on the pseudonymous cookie ID set by Facebook Pixel and the data collected about your usage behavior on our website, we operate personalized advertising via Facebook Pixel Remarketing.

We use Facebook Pixel Conversions to measure your subsequent usage behavior for web analysis and event tracking if you have reached our website via a Facebook Ads ad. Data processing is carried out on the basis of an agreement on order processing by Facebook (by Meta).

An appropriate level of data protection is ensured by standard data protection clauses and other contractual measures. Further information on data protection at Trusted Shops GmbH can be found here [https://www.trustedshops.de/impressum/#datenschutz]. 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, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the call. The IP address is anonymized immediately after collection so that the stored data cannot be assigned to your person.

8.2 DATA PROCESSING AFTER ORDER COMPLETION

After completing your order, your e-mail address hashed using the cryptographic one-way function will be transmitted to Trusted Shops GmbH. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

If this is the case, further processing will be carried out in accordance with the contractual agreement concluded between you and Trusted Shops.

Further processing after registration is also based on the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops GmbH. If you do not register, all transmitted data will be automatically deleted by Trusted Shops GmbH and a personal reference is then no longer possible.

Trusted Shops uses service providers in the areas of hosting, monitoring and logging. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. 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 the USA by standard data protection clauses and other contractual measures and in Israel by an adequacy decision.
