GOOGLE ANALYTICS
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer to help the website analyse how you use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to us. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the storage of the cookie is the consent given (Art. 6 para 1 p. 1 lit. a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

- ONLINE SHOP
ORDER PROCESS
All data entered by customers during order processing are stored. This includes:
- Surname, name
- Address
- Payment data
- Email address
- Phone number
Those data that are mandatory for delivery or order processing are passed on to third party service providers. As soon as the storage of your data is no longer necessary or required by law, it will be deleted.
PAYMENT DATA
Payment data is collected as part of the ordering process. For orders on our website, you have the option between different payment methods.
CREDIT CARD
If you pay by credit card, SIX Payment Services AG, Hardturmstrasse 201, 8005 Zurich, Switzerland, collects the following data:
- Name of the credit card holder
- Credit card number
- Period of validity of the credit card
- Security code
For Switzerland, there is an adequacy decision within the meaning of Article 45 (1) of the GDPR, so that a sufficient level of data protection is guaranteed.
PAYPAL
Furthermore, there is the possibility of processing the payment process with the online payment service PayPal. PayPal makes it possible to make online payments to third parties. The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg. If you choose PayPal as your payment method, your data required for the payment process will automatically be transmitted to PayPal. This regularly involves the following data:
- Name
- Address
- Company
- Email address
- Telephone and mobile number
- IP address
The data transmitted to PayPal may be transferred by PayPal to credit agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to check identity and creditworthiness. PayPal may also pass on your data to third parties insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment of contractual obligations or the data is to be processed on behalf. PayPal’s privacy policy can be found at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full/.
The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR, as the processing of the data is necessary for the payment with PayPal and thus for the execution of the contract.
INSTANT BANK TRANSFER
We also offer payment by instant bank transfer. In this case, the data will be collected by Sofort GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich. Fleurop does not collect or store the data itself.
To do this, Sofort GmbH requires the IBAN as well as the PIN and TAN of your online banking account. During the ordering process you will be automatically redirected to the secure payment form of Sofort GmbH. Immediately afterwards, you will receive confirmation of the transaction. We then receive the transfer credit directly.
Anyone who has an activated online banking account with PIN/TAN procedure can use instant bank transfer as a payment method. Please note that a few banks do not yet support payment by instant bank transfer. You can get more information about this via the following link: https://www.sofort.com/ger-DE/general/fuer-kaeufer/fragen-und-antworten/. For more information on the stored data, see https://www.klarna.com/sofort/#cq-0.
Rechtsgrundlage für die Datenverarbeitung ist Art. 6 Abs. 1 b) DSGVO, da die Verarbeitung der Daten für die Bezahlung per Sofortüberweisung und damit für die Durchführung des Vertrages erforderlich ist.
