6.3 Information on third country transfers (data transfer to third countries)

We use technologies from service providers on our website whose headquarters and/or server locations may be located in third countries outside the EU or EEA. If there is no adequacy decision from the EU Commission for this country, an adequate level of data protection must be ensured through other appropriate safeguards.

Appropriate safeguards in the form of contractually agreed standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or binding corporate rules are generally possible, but require prior review by the contracting parties to determine whether an adequate level of protection can be ensured. According to the case law of the European Court of Justice, additional protective measures may be necessary for this purpose.

We have generally agreed to the standard data protection clauses issued by the EU Commission with the technology providers we use that process personal data in a third country. Where possible, we also agree on additional safeguards to ensure adequate data protection in the third countries without an adequacy decision.

Notwithstanding this, it may happen that, despite all contractual and technical measures, the level of data protection in the third country does not correspond to that of the EU. In these cases, we will ask you, if necessary, for your consent to the transfer of your personal data to a third country in accordance with Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR as part of the cookie consent.
In particular, there is a risk that local authorities in the third country may not be granted sufficiently restricted access rights to your personal data from a European data protection perspective, that we as the data exporter or you as the data subject may not be aware of this and/or that you may not have sufficient legal remedies available to prevent this and/or to take action against such access.

In particular, the following countries are currently among the third countries without an adequacy decision from the EU Commission (example list):

  • China
  • Russia
  • Taiwan

You can find out to which third countries we transfer data in the data protection information for the tool and/or service we use for consent management/Consent Manager Platform (CMP).

When you access the Trustbadge, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which also contains your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the access. The IP address is anonymized immediately after collection so that the stored data cannot be assigned to you personally. The anonymized data is used primarily for statistical purposes and error analysis.

8.2 Data processing after order completion

After completing your order, the Trustbadge accesses the order information stored on your device (order total, order number, and any purchased product) and your email address. This is necessary to offer you Trusted Shops services and, if necessary, to automatically secure your order. For this purpose, your email address, hashed using a cryptographic one-way function, is transmitted to Trusted Shops. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

This is to check whether you are already registered for services with Trusted Shops and is therefore necessary to fulfill our and Trusted Shops' overriding legitimate interests in providing the buyer protection linked to the specific order and the transactional evaluation services in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If this is the case, further processing will take place in accordance with the contractual agreement concluded between you and Trusted Shops. If you are not yet registered for the services, you will then be given the opportunity to do so for the first time. Further processing after registration is also governed by the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops. If you do not register, all transmitted data will be automatically deleted by Trusted Shops and personal reference will then no longer be possible.

Trusted Shops uses service providers in the areas of hosting, monitoring, and logging. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation. Processing may take place in third countries (USA and Israel). An appropriate level of data protection is ensured in each case by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, which is available for the USA here and for Israelhere . Service providers used in the USA are generally certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information can be found here . If service providers used are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been concluded as a suitable guarantee.
