Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is not required by law or contract, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the data. Failure to provide it will have no consequences. This applies only insofar as no other information is given in the following processing operations.
"Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.


Server log files
You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. 
Each time you access our website, usage data is transmitted to us or our web host / IT service provider by your internet browser and stored in log data (so-called server log files).

The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in ensuring the trouble-free operation of our website and to improve our services. 

 
Your data may be transferred to and processed in third countries outside the EU, particularly to Canada and the USA. An adequacy decision of the EU Commission exists for Canada. For the USA, an adequacy decision of the EU Commission exists, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Shopify is not certified under the TADPF.
