If processing is carried out for other purposes, you only have the right to object if there are reasons arising from your particular situation.
After exercising your right of objection, we will not further process your personal data for these purposes, unless we can prove compelling reasons for processing worthy of protection that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Profiling (automated decision making)
According to Art. 22 DSGVO, you have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which has legal effect on you, or which significantly affects you in a similar way. As a matter of principle, we do not carry out automated decision making unless this serves to comply with overriding legal provisions (e.g. prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing).
You can visit our website without providing any personal information. If you only use our website for information purposes, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the personal data that your browser sends to our server. Whenever you call up a website, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains e.g. the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the call, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the call.
This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our services.

The e-mail address is converted before transmission into this hash value, which cannot be decrypted by Trusted Shops. After checking for a match, the parameter is automatically deleted.
