Please take note of the following information so that you know what personal data we collect from you and for what purposes we use it. We base our data protection on the legal requirements of the European data protection law EU GDPR.

Please note that the following information is reviewed and amended from time to time. We therefore recommend that you consult this privacy policy on a regular basis. Furthermore, other companies are responsible or jointly responsible with us under data protection law for individual data processing operations listed below, so that in these cases the information provided by these providers is also authoritative.

3. your rights
If the legal requirements are met, you have the following rights as a data subject:
Right to information: you have the right to request access to your personal data stored by us at any time free of charge if we are processing it. This gives you the opportunity to check what personal data we process about you and that we use it in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations.
Right to rectification: You have the right to have inaccurate or incomplete personal data rectified and to be informed of the rectification. In this case, we will inform the recipients of the data concerned of the adjustments made, unless this is impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
Right to erasure: You have the right to have your personal data erased under certain circumstances. In individual cases, particularly in the case of statutory retention obligations, the right to erasure may be excluded. In this case, the data may be blocked instead of erased if the conditions are met.

4. data security
We use suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data stored by us against loss and unlawful processing, in particular unauthorized access by third parties. Our employees and the service companies commissioned by us are obliged by us to maintain confidentiality and to observe data protection. Furthermore, these persons are only granted access to personal data to the extent necessary to fulfill their tasks.
Our security measures are continuously adapted in line with technological developments. However, the transmission of information via the Internet and electronic means of communication always involves certain security risks and we cannot provide an absolute guarantee for the security of information transmitted in this way.

5. contacting us
If you contact us via our contact addresses and channels (e.g. by e-mail, telephone or contact form), your personal data will be processed. The data that you have made available to us will be processed, e.g. the name of your company, your name, your function, your e-mail address or telephone number and your request. In addition, the time of receipt of the request is documented. Mandatory information is marked with an asterisk (*) in contact forms.
Data processing is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-GDPR in the implementation of your request or, if your request is aimed at the conclusion or execution of a contract, the necessity for the implementation of the necessary measures within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU-GDPR.

6 Use of your data for marketing purposes
6.1 Central data storage and analysis in the CRM system

If a clear assignment to your person is possible, we will store and link the data described in this privacy policy, i.e. in particular your personal data, your contacts, your contract data and your surfing behavior on our websites in a central database. This serves the efficient management of customer data and allows us to adequately respond to your requests and enables the efficient provision of the services you have requested and the processing of the associated contracts. The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest in the efficient management of user data within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We evaluate this data in order to further develop our offers in line with your needs and to display and suggest the most relevant information and offers to you. We also use methods that predict potential, interests and future orders based on your website usage. The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in the implementation of marketing measures.

6.2 Email marketing and newsletter
If you register for our email newsletter (e.g. when opening or within your customer account), the following data will be collected. Mandatory information is marked with an asterisk (*) in the registration form:
  • E-mail address
  • AAddress
  • First name and surname
  • Interest
To avoid misuse and to ensure that the owner of an e-mail address has actually given their consent, we use the so-called double opt-in for registration. After sending the registration form, you will receive an e-mail from us containing a confirmation link. To definitively register for the newsletter, you must click on this link. If you do not click on the confirmation link within the specified period, your data will be deleted and our newsletter will not be sent to this address.

By registering, you consent to the processing of this data in order to receive news from us about our company, our offers in the area of sporting goods and related products and services. This may also include invitations to take part in competitions or to evaluate one of the aforementioned products and services. The collection of the salutation and name allows us to verify the assignment of the registration to a possibly already existing customer account and to personalize the content of the mails. The link to a customer account helps us to make the offers and content contained in the newsletter more relevant to you and better tailored to your potential needs.

We will continue to use your data to send you emails until you withdraw your consent. Revocation is possible at any time, in particular via the unsubscribe link in all our marketing emails.

Our marketing emails may contain a so-called web beacon or 1x1 pixel (tracking pixel) or similar technical aids. A web beacon is an invisible graphic that is linked to the user ID of the respective newsletter subscriber. For each marketing email sent, we receive information about which addresses have not yet received the email, which addresses it was sent to and which addresses failed to receive it. We also see which addresses have opened the email, for how long and which links they have clicked on. Finally, we also receive information about which addresses have unsubscribed. We use this data for statistical purposes and to optimize the advertising emails in terms of frequency, timing, structure and content of the emails. This enables us to better tailor the information and offers in our emails to the individual interests of the recipients.

The web beacon is deleted when you delete the email. To prevent the use of the web beacon in our marketing e-mails, please set the parameters of your e-mail program so that HTML is not displayed in messages, if this is not already the case by default. You can find information on how to configure this setting in the help sections of your email software, e.g. here for Microsoft Outlook.

By subscribing to the newsletter, you also consent to the statistical analysis of user behaviour for the purpose of optimizing and adapting the newsletter. This consent constitutes our legal basis for the processing of data within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR.

We use the email marketing software Klaviyo 106 Fenchurch Street 5th Floor London, EC3M 5JD England, for marketing emails. Therefore, your data is stored in a Klaviyo database, which allows Klaviyo to access your data if this is necessary for the provision of the software and for support in the use of the software. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in the use of third-party services.

Klaviyo uses this information to send the newsletter on our behalf and does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or pass it on to third parties.

To protect your data in the USA, we have a data processing agreement with Klaviyo in which Klaviyo undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process it on our behalf in accordance with its data protection provisions and, in particular, not to pass it on to third parties.

You can find Klaviyo's privacy policy here: https://www.klaviyo.com/privacy

7. disclosure to third parties and access by third parties

Without the support of other companies, we would not be able to provide our services in the desired form. In order for us to be able to use the services of these companies, it is also necessary to pass on your personal data to a certain extent. Such a transfer takes place in particular if this is necessary to fulfill the contract you have requested, i.e. for example to the logistics or transport companies that deliver the desired products, or to a manufacturer who is to fulfill your warranty claim. The legal basis for these transfers is the necessity to fulfill the contract within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR.

Data is also passed on to selected service providers and only to the extent necessary for the provision of the service. Various third-party service providers are also already explicitly mentioned in this privacy policy, e.g. in the sections on marketing. These are, for example, IT service providers (such as providers of software solutions), advertising agencies and consulting firms. Our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR in obtaining third-party services forms the legal basis for this data transfer.

In addition, your data may be passed on, in particular to authorities, legal advisors or debt collection agencies, if we are legally obliged to do so or if this is necessary to protect our rights, in particular to enforce claims arising from the relationship with you. Data may also be disclosed if another company intends to acquire our company or parts thereof and such disclosure is necessary to carry out a due diligence review or to complete the transaction. The legal basis for this data transfer is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in the protection of our rights and compliance with our obligations or the sale of our company.

8. transfer of personal data abroad
We are also entitled to transfer your personal data to third parties abroad if this is necessary to carry out the data processing mentioned in this privacy policy (see in particular sections 12-15). It goes without saying that the statutory provisions on the disclosure of personal data to third parties will be complied with. If the country in question does not have an adequate level of data protection, we ensure through contractual arrangements that your data is adequately protected by these companies.

9 Retention periods
We only store personal data for as long as is necessary to carry out the processing described in this privacy policy within the scope of our legitimate interest. In the case of contractual data, storage is prescribed by statutory retention obligations. Requirements that oblige us to store data result from accounting and tax regulations. According to these regulations, business communication, concluded contracts and accounting documents must be stored for up to 10 years. If we no longer need this data to perform the services for you, the data will be blocked. This means that the data may then only be used if this is necessary to fulfill retention obligations or to defend and enforce our legal interests. The data will be deleted as soon as there is no longer an obligation to retain it and there is no longer a legitimate interest in retaining it.

In the event of an attack on the network infrastructure of the website or in the event of suspicion of other unauthorized or abusive website use, the IP address and the other data are evaluated for clarification and defense and, if necessary, used in the context of criminal proceedings for identification and for civil and criminal proceedings against the users concerned. The purposes described above constitute our legitimate interest in data processing within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR.

Finally, when you visit our website, we use cookies as well as applications and tools that are based on the use of cookies. The data described here may also be processed in this context.

Among other things, cookies help to make your visit to our website easier, more pleasant and more useful. We use cookies for various purposes that are required for your desired use of the website, i.e. are "technically necessary". For example, we use cookies to identify you as a registered user after you have logged in without you having to log in again each time you navigate through the various subpages. The provision of the shopping cart and order function is also based on the use of cookies. Cookies also perform other technical functions required for the operation of the website, such as load balancing, i.e. the distribution of the performance load of the site to different web servers in order to reduce the load on the servers.

13 Tracking and web analysis tools
13.1 General information on tracking
We use the web analysis services listed below for the purpose of designing and continuously optimizing our website to meet your needs. In this context, pseudonymized user profiles are created and cookies are used (please also refer to section 11). The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a server of the service provider together with the log file data listed in section 10, where it is stored and processed. This may also involve a transfer to servers abroad, e.g. in the USA (see section 8, in particular on the guarantees provided).

By processing the data, we receive the following information, among other things
  • Navigation path taken by a visitor on the site (incl. content viewed and products selected or purchased),
  • the time spent on the website or subpage
  • the subpage on which the website is exited,
  • the country, region or city from which access is made
  • end device (type, version, color depth, resolution, width and height of the browser window) and
  • Returning or new visitor.
The provider will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for us and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and the needs-based design of this website. For these processing operations, we and the providers can be regarded as joint controllers under data protection law up to a certain extent.

The legal basis for this data processing with the following tools is your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR. You can withdraw your consent or refuse processing at any time by rejecting or deactivating the relevant cookies in the settings of your web browser (see section 11) or by making use of the service-specific options described below.

For further processing of the data by the respective provider as the (sole) controller under data protection law, in particular any disclosure of this information to third parties such as authorities on the basis of national statutory provisions, please refer to the respective data protection information of the provider.

13.2 Google Analytics
We use the web analysis service Google Analytics from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland) or Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) ("Google").

The data described about the use of the website may be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA for the processing purposes explained (see section 13.1). The IP address is shortened by activating IP anonymization ("anonymizeIP") on this website before transmission within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

Users can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to the use of the website by the user concerned (including the IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in at the following link:

http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Further information on data protection at Google can be foundhere.

14. social media
14.1 Social media profiles
We have included links to our profiles in the social networks of the following providers on our website:
  • Meta Platforms Inc, 1601 S California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA;
  • Instagram Inc. 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA;
If you click on the icons of the social networks, you will be automatically redirected to our profile in the respective network. This establishes a direct connection between your browser and the server of the respective social network. As a result, the network receives the information that you have visited our website with your IP address and clicked on the link.

If you click on a link to a network while you are logged into your user account with the network in question, the content of our website can be linked to your profile so that the network can assign your visit to our website directly to your account. If you want to prevent this, you should log out before clicking on the relevant links. A connection between your access to our website and your user account takes place in any case if you log in to the respective network after clicking on the link. The respective provider is responsible under data protection law for the associated data processing. Please therefore refer to the information on the network's website.
The legal basis for any data processing attributed to us is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR in the use and advertising of our social media profiles.

14.2 Social media plugins
You can use social plugins from the following providers on our website
We use social plugins to make it easier for you to share content from our website. The social plugins help us to increase the visibility of our content in social networks and thus contribute to better marketing.

The plugins are deactivated on our websites by default and therefore do not send any data to the social networks when you simply visit our website. To increase data protection, we have integrated the plugins in such a way that no connection is automatically established with the networks' servers. Your browser only establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective social network when you activate the plugins and thus give your consent to data transmission and further processing by the social network providers.
The content of the plugin is transmitted by the social network directly to your browser, which integrates it into the website. As a result, the respective provider receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have an account with this social network or are not currently logged in to it. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server of the provider (usually in the USA) and stored there. We have no influence on the scope of the data that the provider collects with the plugin, although we can be considered jointly responsible with the providers to a certain extent from a data protection perspective.

If you are logged in to the social network, it can assign your visit to our website directly to your user account. If you interact with the plugins, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a server of the provider and stored there. The information (e.g. that you like one of our products) may also be published on the social network and may be displayed to other users of the social network. The provider of the social network may use this information for the purpose of displaying advertising and tailoring the respective offer. For this purpose, usage, interest and relationship profiles may be created, e.g. to evaluate your use of our website with regard to the advertisements displayed to you on the social network, to inform other users about your activities on our website and to provide other services associated with the use of the social network. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers of the social networks as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy can be found directly in the data protection information of the respective provider.

If you do not want the social network provider to assign the data collected via our website to your user account, you must log out of the social network before activating the plugins. Your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR forms the legal basis for the data processing described. You can revoke your consent at any time by declaring your revocation to the provider of the plugin in accordance with the information in their data protection information.

15 Online advertising and targeting
15.1 In general
We use the services of various companies to provide you with interesting offers online. Your user behavior on our website and websites of other providers is analyzed in order to be able to display online advertising tailored to you.

Most of the technologies used to track your user behavior ("tracking") and to display targeted advertising ("targeting") work with cookies (see also section 11), with which your browser can be recognized via various websites. Depending on the service provider, it may also be possible for you to be recognized online even when using different end devices (e.g. laptop and smartphone). This may be the case, for example, if you have registered with a service that you use on several devices.

In addition to the data already mentioned, which is generated when websites are accessed ("log file data", see section 10) and when cookies are used (section 11) and which may be passed on to the companies involved in the advertising networks, the following data in particular is used to select the advertising that is potentially most relevant to you:
  • Information about you that you have provided when registering or using a service of advertising partners (e.g. your gender, your age group);
  • User behavior (e.g. search queries, interactions with advertising, types of websites visited, products viewed and purchased, newsletters subscribed to).
We and our service providers use this data to recognize whether you belong to the target group we are addressing and take this into account when selecting advertisements. For example, after you have visited our site, you may be shown advertisements for the products you have viewed when you visit other sites ("re-targeting"). Depending on the scope of the data, a user profile may also be created, which is automatically evaluated, and the ads are selected according to the information stored in the profile, such as membership of certain demographic segments or potential interests or behaviors. Such ads may be presented to you on various channels, including our website or app (as part of on-site and in-app marketing) as well as ads placed via the online advertising networks we use, such as Google.

The data may then be analyzed for the purpose of billing the service provider and assessing the effectiveness of advertising measures in order to better understand the needs of our users and customers and improve future campaigns. This may also include information that the performance of an action (e.g. visiting certain sections of our websites or sending information) is attributable to a specific advertisement. We also receive aggregated reports from the service providers on advertising activities and information on how users interact with our website and our advertisements.

The legal basis for this data processing is your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time by rejecting or deactivating the relevant cookies in your web browser settings (see section 11). Further options for blocking advertising can also be found in the information provided by the respective service provider, e.g. Google.

15.2 Google Ads
This website uses the services of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google") for online advertising. Google uses cookies for this purpose, such as the so-called DoubleClick cookie, which enable your browser to be recognized when you visit other websites. The information generated by the cookies about your visit to these websites (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there (please also refer to section 6). Further information on data protection at Google can be foundhere.

The legal basis for this data processing is your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time by rejecting or deactivating the relevant cookies in the settings of your web browser (see section 11). Further options for blocking advertising can be found here.

16. use of our chat function
If you contact us via chat, your personal data will be processed. The data that you have made available to us will be processed, e.g. the name of your company, your name, your function, your e-mail address and your request. In addition, the time of receipt of the request is documented. Mandatory information is marked with an asterisk (*).

We process this data exclusively in order to implement your request (e.g. providing information about a product, support in contract processing such as returning products, incorporating your feedback into the improvement of our service, etc.). To provide the chat function, we use a tool from Zendesk GmbH, Neue Schönhauser Str. 3-5, 10178 Berlin, Germany. Your data is therefore stored in a Zendesk database, which may enable Zendesk to access your data if this is necessary for the provision of the software and for support in the use of the software.
The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR in the use of modern communication technologies or, if your request is aimed at the conclusion or execution of a contract, in the implementation of the necessary measures within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR.

17. Registration for a customer account
If you open a customer account on our website, we collect the following data, whereby mandatory information is marked with an asterisk (*) in the corresponding form:
  • Personal details: title, surname, first name, billing and delivery address, company, company address and VAT number for corporate customers
  • Login data: e-mail address, password,
  • Other details: languages, gender
We use the personal data to establish your identity and to check the requirements for registration. The e-mail address and password together serve as login data and thus ensure that the correct person is using the website under your details. We also require your e-mail address for verification and confirmation of the account opening and for future communication with you required for contract processing. In addition, this data is stored in the customer account for future contracts. For this purpose, we also enable you to store further details in the account (e.g. your preferred means of payment).

We also use the data to provide an overview of the products and services ordered (see sections 18 and 23 in particular) and an easy way to manage your personal data, to administer our website and the contractual relationships, i.e. to establish, structure the content of, process and amend the contracts concluded with you via your customer account.

We process the information on language and gender in order to display offer suggestions on the website that are best tailored to your profile or your personal needs, to statistically record and evaluate the selected offers and thus to optimize our suggestions and offers.
The legal basis for the processing of your data for the aforementioned purpose is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time by removing the information from your customer account or deleting your customer account or having it deleted by notifying us.

To prevent misuse, you must always treat your login data confidentially and should close the browser window when you have finished communicating with us, especially if you share the computer with others.

18. ordering products
If you wish to order products or book services on the website, we require various data in order to process the contract. If you do not log in with your customer account (see section 17), we collect the following data - depending on the product or service - whereby mandatory information is marked with an asterisk (*) in the corresponding form:
  • Salutation
  • Surname
  • First name
  • Billing and delivery address
  • e-mail address
  • Date of birth
  • Company, company address and VAT number for corporate customers
  • Telephone number
We use the data to establish your identity before concluding a contract. We also need your e-mail address to confirm your order and for future communication with you required for contract processing. We store your data together with the order details (e.g. time, order number, etc.), the data relating to the services ordered/booked (e.g. name, price and features of the product; "product data"), the payment data (e.g. payment method selected, confirmation of payment and time; see also section 19) and the details relating to the order. Furthermore, section 19) as well as information on the processing and fulfillment of the contract (e.g. return of products, use of service or warranty services, etc.) in our CRM database (see section 6.1) so that we can ensure correct order processing and contract fulfillment.

Insofar as this is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract, we will also pass on the required information to any third-party service providers (e.g. transport companies).

The legal basis for this data processing is the fulfillment of the contract with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR.

The provision of data that is not marked as mandatory is voluntary. We process this data in order to tailor our offer to your personal needs in the best possible way, to facilitate the processing of contracts, to contact you via an alternative communication channel if necessary with a view to fulfilling the contract or for statistical recording and evaluation to optimize our offers. The legal basis for this data processing is your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time by notifying us.

19. online payment processing

If you purchase paid services or products on our website, depending on the product or service and the desired payment method - in addition to the information mentioned in Section 18 - you may be required to provide further data, such as your credit card information or the login to your payment service provider. This information and the fact that you have purchased a service from us at the relevant amount and time will be forwarded to the respective payment service providers (e.g. providers of payment solutions, credit card issuers and credit card acquirers). Please always refer to the information provided by the respective company, in particular the privacy policy and general terms and conditions. The legal basis for this transfer is the fulfillment of a contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR.

In order to avoid payment cases, the necessary data, in particular your personal data, may also be transmitted to a credit agency for the automated assessment of your creditworthiness. In this context, the credit agency can assign you a so-called score value. This is an estimate of the future risk of a payment default, e.g. based on a percentage. The value is calculated using mathematical-statistical procedures and by incorporating data from the credit agency from other sources. We reserve the right not to offer you the payment method "invoice" in accordance with the information received. The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. EU GDPR in the avoidance of payment defaults.
