This access data is evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offering. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offering in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f of GDPR, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests.

For this purpose, after completing your order, the Trustbadge accesses the following information that is stored in the device you are using: order total, order number and email address. This is necessary so that we can offer you buyer protection. The data will only be transmitted to Trusted Shops if you actively decide to take out buyer protection by clicking on the corresponding button in the so-called Trustcard. If you decide to use the services, further processing will be based on the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR in order to complete your registration for buyer protection and secure the order, and if necessary to subsequently send you review invitations by email.
