8. eCommerce and Payment Service Providers

Processing Customer and Contract Data
We collect, process, and use personal customer and contract data for the establishment, content design, and modification of our contractual relationships. Personal data regarding the use of this website (usage data) is collected, processed, and used only to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill for it.
The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
The collected customer data will be deleted after the completion of the order or the termination of the business relationship and the expiration of any statutory retention periods. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Data Transmission Upon Conclusion of Contracts for Online Shops, Merchants, and Goods Shipping

When you order goods from us, we pass your personal data to the transport company responsible for delivery and the payment service provider tasked with payment processing. Only the data necessary for the respective service provider to fulfil their task will be released. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. If you have provided consent according to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, we will pass your email address to the transport company responsible for delivery so that it can inform you via email about the shipping status of your order; you can revoke this consent at any time.

Credit Checks
For purchases on account or other payment methods where we advance payment, we may carry out a credit check (scoring). To do this, we transmit your entered data (e.g., name, address, age, or bank details) to a credit agency. Based on this data, the likelihood of a payment default is determined. In the event of an excessive payment default risk, we may refuse the relevant payment method. The credit check is carried out based on the fulfilment of the contract (Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR) as well as to prevent payment defaults (legitimate interest according to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). If consent has been obtained, the credit check will be based on this consent (Article 6(1) of the GDPR); consent can be revoked at any time.

To ensure the functions of the shop, Shopware stores cookies in your browser. The cookies are used, for example, to maintain the contents of the shopping cart, the login status, and CSRF protection. Shopware cannot be used without allowing cookies in the browser. Shopware only stores IDs in the browser. The assignment to the respective information occurs within the application area.
Based on the session cookie, Shopware determines whether you have an active shopping cart and whether you are logged in. No further information except the session ID is stored in the browser. The handling of session cookies is managed by PHP independently of Shopware on the server side.
Shopware also generates an individual CSRF cookie when visiting the shop so that you can use the various areas of the shop.
In addition, an SLT cookie is set, which allows us to recognise you when you return to our online shop, even if the session has already expired. The SLT cookie can be disabled in the browser's basic settings.
A cookie ("sUniqueID") is created to save the contents of the wishlist when a product is added to it. The stored products are saved in the table s_order_notes.
Information on "recently viewed items" is stored in the local storage of the browser.
The Shopware standard consent tool is integrated into Shopware's eCommerce tool. Further information on data protection at Shopware can be found at the following link:

https://www.pinterest.de/wescocolorfulliving/

Data Processing by Social Networks
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks we use are listed below.
Social networks such as Facebook, X, etc., can generally analyse your user behaviour extensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or advertising banners). By visiting our social media presences, numerous data processing operations relevant to data protection are triggered. In detail: If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can attribute this visit to your user account. Your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. This data collection occurs, for example, through cookies stored on your device or by capturing your IP address.
Using the data thus collected, social media operators can create user profiles that contain your preferences and interests. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you both within and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising can be shown across all devices where you are logged in or have previously logged in. Please also note that we cannot trace all processing operations on social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may be conducted by the operators of the social media portals. You can find details in the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.

Legal Basis
Our social media profiles aim to ensure a comprehensive presence on the internet. This represents a legitimate interest as defined in Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal grounds, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent as per Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR).

Controller and Assertion of Rights
When you visit one of our social media profiles (e.g., Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (access, rectification, deletion, restriction of processing,
data portability, and complaint) against both us and the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., Facebook). Please note that despite our joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are significantly determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

Storage Duration
The data we collect directly through our social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage duration of your data, which is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please refer directly to the operators of the social networks (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below).

Your Rights
You have the right to receive free information about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data at any time. You also have the right to object, the right to data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can request the rectification, blocking, deletion, and, under certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
