Reviews Advertising


Shopauskunft customer review
We use the review tool "shopauskunft.de" from Händlerbund Management AG (Torgauer Straße 233 B, 04347 Leipzig; "Shopauskunft") for our website.
After your order, we would like to ask you to rate and comment on your purchase with us. For this purpose, we will contact you via email, using the technical system "Legally secure review request (RBA)". In doing so, we process the data regarding your order (order number/invoice number, purchase value, and shipping costs) as well as your email address. If applicable, we also use this data for the purpose of verifying your review.
Processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR with your consent, provided that you have expressly agreed to the transfer of your data and the receipt of the review request.
You can revoke your consent at any time by using the corresponding link in the email or by notifying us, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Use of the email address for sending direct advertising
