To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, which are small text files stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after closing the browser (so-called "session cookies"), while others remain on your device for a longer period and allow for saving page settings (so-called "persistent cookies").

5) Contacting Us
5.1 WhatsApp Business
We offer you the possibility to contact us via the messaging service WhatsApp, provided by WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. For this purpose, we use the so-called "Business version" of WhatsApp.
If you contact us via WhatsApp regarding a specific transaction (e.g., an order placed), we will store and use your mobile phone number used on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. GDPR to process and respond to your request. Based on the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide further data (order number, customer number, address, or email address) in order to assign your inquiry to a specific process.
If you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (e.g., regarding the range of services, availability, or our website), we will store and use your mobile phone number used on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in providing the requested information efficiently and promptly.
Your data will always only be used to respond to your request via WhatsApp. No disclosure to third parties will occur.
Please note that WhatsApp Business gains access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transmits phone numbers stored in the address book to a server of the parent company Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. For the operation of our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device whose address book only stores the WhatsApp contact details of users who have also contacted us via WhatsApp.
This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact details are stored in our address book has already consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR, when first using the app on their device by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use. The transmission of data of users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.
For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by WhatsApp, as well as your related rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy
In the course of the aforementioned processing, data transfers to Meta Platforms Inc. servers in the USA may occur.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

On this website, you have the option to submit price proposals for items for sale via the "Make an Offer" service from Buraleo Limited, Suite 2, Ground Floor Orchard Brae House, Edinburgh, Eh4 2hs, United Kingdom ("Make an Offer").
In doing so, the user's name, email address, possibly phone number and delivery address are requested and, in case of sending the price proposal, first transmitted to Make an Offer and then to the controller mentioned at the beginning, so that the latter can react to the price proposal, i.e., accept, reject or contrast it with a counteroffer.
Data processing is carried out based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR and only to the extent necessary for the purpose of initiating and executing the contract. After your price proposal request has been finally processed, your data will be deleted, provided that no statutory retention periods conflict with this.
In the event of data transmission to Buraleo Limited in the United Kingdom, an adequate level of data protection is ensured by an adequacy decision of the European Commission.
5.3 When contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is processed - exclusively for the purpose of processing and responding to your request and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.
The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact aims at a contract, an additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and provided that no statutory retention obligations conflict with this.

You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the controller mentioned at the beginning.

The transfer of your data in this case is exclusively for the purpose of payment processing with the provider and only insofar as it is necessary for this.
- Apple Pay
If you choose the "Apple Pay" payment method from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment processing takes place via the "Apple Pay" function of your iOS, watchOS or macOS device by charging a payment card stored with "Apple Pay". Apple Pay uses security features integrated into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must enter a previously set code and verify it using your device's "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function.
For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provided during the order process, along with information about your order, will be transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts this data again with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay to carry out the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website where the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment has been made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the success of the payment.
If personal data is processed during the described transmissions, the processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Apple stores anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymization completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.
If you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase you made on your Mac via Safari, the Mac and the authorization device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can identify you. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and disable "Allow Payments on Mac".

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provided during the order process, along with information about your order, will be transmitted to Google.

The transaction is carried out exclusively between you and the originating website by charging the payment method stored in Google Pay.
If personal data is processed during the described transmissions, the processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

According to Google, this processing takes place exclusively in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper accounting, verification of transaction data, and optimization and functional maintenance of the Google Pay service.

10) Retargeting/ Remarketing and Conversion Tracking
Google Marketing Platform
This website uses the online marketing tool Google Marketing Platform ("GMP") operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
GMP uses cookies to show relevant ads to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent you from seeing the same ads multiple times. Google uses a cookie ID to track which ads are shown in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed repeatedly. In addition, GMP can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, if you see a GMP ad and later, when using the same browser, visit the advertiser's website and purchase something through that website. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain any personal information. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's server.
We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you to the best of our knowledge as follows: By integrating GMP, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will obtain and store your IP address. When using GMP, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading out information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which, based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission, ensures compliance with the European level of data protection.

11) Tools and Miscellaneous
Cookie Consent Tool
This website uses a "Cookie Consent Tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "Cookie Consent Tool" is displayed to you as an interactive user interface when you visit the page, where you can give consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking boxes. In doing so, the tool ensures that all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if you give your corresponding consent by checking the boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on your respective device if consent has been given.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. As a rule, no personal user data is processed here.
If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.
Another legal basis for processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As controllers, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.
Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized transfer to third parties.
Further information about the operator and the setting options of the Cookie Consent Tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

13) Duration of storage of personal data
The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and – if applicable – additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. commercial and tax law retention periods).
When processing personal data on the basis of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, the data concerned will be stored until you revoke your consent.
If there are statutory retention periods for data processed within the framework of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, this data will be routinely deleted after the expiry of the retention periods, provided that it is no longer required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in further storage.
When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object in accordance with Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.
Unless otherwise stated in the other information of this declaration about specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
