Advertising reviews

Käufersiegel customer review
We use the Käufersiegel customer rating tool of Händlerbund Management AG (Torgauer Straße 233 B, 04347 Leipzig) on our website. After you have placed your order, we would like you to rate and comment on your purchase with us.
For this purpose, you will be contacted by us by e-mail, whereby we use the technical system of the provider of the buyer seal rating tool within the scope of order processing.
In doing so, the processing of your data takes place either with your consent or on the basis of our legitimate interest.
The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO with your consent, provided that you have expressly agreed to receive the evaluation request. You can withdraw your consent at any time by using the corresponding link in the email without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the withdrawal. Your e-mail address will then be removed from the distribution list.
Processing without explicit consent is based on Article 6 (1) (f) DSGVO from the legitimate interest in truthful, verified assessments of our services in the context of direct advertising. For this purpose, we will send out an evaluation request in electronic form for your own goods or services that you have already purchased from us. The dispatch is made to the e-mail address that we have received from you in the context of the sale of a good or service. The sending of the evaluation request is subject to the proviso that you have not objected to this use of your e-mail address.
The objection is possible at any time by notifying us. The contact details for exercising the objection can be found in the imprint. You can also use the link provided in the assessment prompt. This does not incur any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

Use of the email address for sending newsletters
We use your e-mail address, irrespective of the processing of the contract, exclusively for our own advertising purposes for sending newsletters, provided that you have expressly consented to this.
