This includes, personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, shipping address, and payment information, IP address or user behavior when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or can only with a disproportionate effort) establish a reference to your person, e.g. by anonymization, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.

We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:

  • Processing Orders: To fulfill and process orders for our fashion items

  • Personalization: To provide you with a personalized shopping experience
  • Analytics: To understand how you use our website and improve our services

4. Sharing your Information

We only disclose your personal data that we process on our website to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfillment of the purpose and is covered by the legal basis in the individual case (e.g. consent or safeguarding legitimate interests). In addition, we disclose personal data to third parties in individual cases if this serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. Possible recipients may then be, for example, law enforcement agencies, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.

Insofar as we use service providers for the operation of our website, who process personal data on our behalf within the scope of commissioned processing pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, they may be recipients of your personal data. For more information on the use of processors and web services, please refer to the overview of the individual processing operations.

5. Do you use cookies?
Cookies are compact text files that we transmit to your device's browser when you visit our website, and they are subsequently stored there. As an alternative to employing cookies, data can also be stored in your browser's local storage. Certain features of our website are indispensable and cannot be made available without using cookies or local storage (referred to as "technically necessary cookies"). Conversely, other cookies enable us to carry out diverse analyses, such as recognizing your browser when you revisit our website and conveying various data to us (referred to as "non-essential cookies"). By means of cookies, we can enhance the user-friendliness and efficiency of our website in various ways, including tracking your website usage and identifying your preferred settings, like country and language preferences. If third parties process information through cookies, they obtain this information directly from your browser. Importantly, cookies do not harm your device, cannot execute programs, and do not contain viruses.

Detailed information about the specific services for which we employ cookies is available in individual processing operations. You can access comprehensive information about the cookies we use in the cookie settings or within the consent manager of this website.

Under the conditions of the statutory provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights as a data subject:

  • Access according to Art. 15 GDPR about the data stored about you in the form of meaningful information about the details of the processing and a copy of your data.
  • Rectification according to Art. 17 GDPR of the data stored by us, insofar as the processing is not necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

  • Restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you object to their deletion because you need them for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR.
  • Data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, insofar as you have provided us with personal data within the scope of consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a GDPR or on the basis of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) b GDPR and these have been processed by us with the assistance of automated processes. You will receive your data in a structured, common and machine-readable format or we will transfer the data directly to another responsible party, insofar as this is technically feasible.
  • Objection according to Art. 21 GDPR against the processing of your personal data, insofar as this is based on Art. 6 (1) e, f GDPR and there are reasons for this that arise from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising. The right to object does not exist if overriding compelling legitimate reasons for the processing are demonstrated or the processing is carried out for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. As far as the right to object does not exist for individual processing operations, it is indicated there.
  • Revocation according to Art. 7 (3) GDPR of your given consent with validity for the future.

If you register on our website to receive our newsletter, we collect your e-mail address and store this information together with the date of registration and your IP address.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as it is required to fulfill the purposes for which it was originally collected. To determine the appropriate retention period, we take into account the quantity, nature, and sensitivity of your personal data, the potential risk associated with unauthorized use or disclosure, the specific purposes for which we process your personal data, whether those purposes can be achieved through alternative means, and any relevant legal obligations. We will also keep and use your personal information as necessary to adhere to our legal responsibilities, settle disputes, and enforce our policies. In the event you discontinue using our services or delete your account, we will either delete your information or retain it in an aggregated and anonymized form.
