The hash value is then transmitted to Trusted Shops with the order information pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO. This serves to check whether you are already registered for Trusted Shops services. If this is the case, further processing takes place according to the agreement between you and Trusted Shops contractual agreement.

If you are not yet registered for the Services or do not give your consent to automatic recognition via the Trustbadge, you will subsequently be given the opportunity to register manually for the use of the Services or to complete the protection within the scope of your possibly already existing usage contract.

For this purpose, the Trustbadge accesses the following information stored in the terminal device you use after you have completed your order: Order total, order number and email address. This is necessary so that we can offer you buyer protection. The data is only transmitted to Trusted Shops if you actively decide to conclude the buyer protection by clicking on the correspondingly designated button in the so-called trust card. If you decide to use the services, the further processing is based on the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, in order to complete your registration for buyer protection and to secure the order and, if necessary, to send you rating invitations by e-mail.

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