When the Trustbadge is called up, the server automatically stores so-called server logs (log files) containing, for example, your IP address, the date and time of the call, the amount of data transferred and the Internet service provider making the request (access data/so-called server logs) and documents the call. Server logs are stored for the purpose of analysing security vulnerabilities and are automatically deleted no later than 90 days after their creation. Other personal data is only transferred to Trusted Shops GmbH if you voluntarily decide to use Trusted Shops products after placing an order in our shop or if you have already registered to use them. In such cases, the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops applies. For this purpose, personal data is automatically collected from the order data. Whether you, as a buyer, are already registered to use Trusted Shops products is automatically checked on the basis of a neutral parameter – your email address, which is encrypted using cryptographic one-way encryption. The email address is encrypted before transmission using a hash value in such a way that it cannot be decrypted by Trusted Shops. After the compliance check, the parameter is automatically deleted. The above is necessary to fulfil the purposes of our and Trusted Shops’ legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) in providing services related to a specific order, i.e. buyer protection services (Trusted Shops guarantee) and purchase review services. Further information, including information about your rights, can be found in the Trusted Shops privacy policy available above and via the Trustbadge tool.
