personal data with them.
We have agreements in place with all our service providers that we share your data with that oblige them to
protect your data.
Where your personal data is shared outside the UK, we ensure that your personal data is given an
equivalent level of protection, either because the jurisdiction to which your data is transferred has an
‘adequate’ data protection standard according to the UK Government, or by using another safeguard such
as an enhanced contractual agreement, i.e. the International Data Transfer Agreement. You can request a

Information about the browser type and the version used
Date and time of access

This data will not be merged with other data sources. The data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) UK GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of his website – and server log files are therefore recorded.
The server of the website is geographically located in the USA.

Geotargeting

We use the IP address and other information provided by the user (e.g. the postal code used for registration
or ordering) to approach regional target groups (so-called “geotargeting”).
The regional target group approach is used, for example, to automatically display regional offers or
advertisements that often are more relevant to users. The legal basis for the use of the IP address and any other information provided by the user (e.g. postal code) is Art. 6 (1) (f) UK GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in ensuring a more precise target group approach and thus providing offers and advertising with greater relevance for our users.

Part of the IP address and the additional information provided by the user (e.g. postal code) are merely processed and not stored separately.

You can prevent geotargeting by, for example, using a VPN or proxy server that prevents accurate
localisation. In addition, depending on the browser you are using, you can also deactivate a location
localisation in the corresponding browser settings (as far as this is supported by the respective browser).
We use geotargeting on our website for the following purposes:

Advertising

Integrated third-party services

We use various service providers to deliver the service we offer through the app.
Generally, where such services are essential to providing the basic service offered by the website, we have a legitimate interest in sharing your data with the relevant service providers in order to provide the relevant website service.
Where such services are required for additional services, enhanced functionalities, or additional purposes, your personal data will only be transferred to service providers if you provide consent.
