The protection of your personal data is very important to us. This Privacy Policy informs you about the nature, scope, and purpose of the collection and use of personal data.
LINE Chaser Lifestyle UG (limited liability) operates this store and this website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services, to provide you, as a customer, with a personalized shopping experience (the “Services”).

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, or share personal data when you visit or use the website, make a purchase or other transaction using the Services, or otherwise communicate with us.

What personal data do we collect or process?
When we use the term “personal data,” we are referring to information that identifies you or another person, or that can be directly linked to you.

Automatically through the Services: We collect data, among other things, from your device or when you use our products or services or visit our website, as well as through the use of cookies and similar technologies.
From our service providers: We collect data, among other things, when we engage service providers to enable certain technologies and when they collect or process your personal data on our behalf.
How do we use your personal data?
Depending on how you interact with us or which of our services you use, we may use your personal data for the following purposes:
Providing, customizing, and improving our services. We use your personal data to provide you with our services. This includes, among other things, fulfilling our contract with you, processing your payments, fulfilling your orders, storing your configurations and the items you are interested in, sending notifications related to your account, creating, maintaining, and otherwise managing your account, organizing shipping, facilitating returns and exchanges, allowing you to submit reviews, and creating a personalized shopping experience for you, for example by recommending products based on your purchases. This may also include using your personal data to better tailor and improve the Services.
Marketing and Advertising. We use your personal data for marketing and advertising purposes, such as sending marketing and promotional communications via email and displaying online advertisements for products or services related to the Services or other websites, including based on items you have previously purchased or added to your shopping cart, as well as other activities related to the Services.
Security and Fraud Prevention. We use your personal data to authenticate your account, provide a secure payment and shopping experience, detect, investigate, or take action against potential fraudulent, illegal, unsafe, or malicious activities, protect public safety, and ensure the security of our Services. If you choose to use the Services and register an account, you are responsible for protecting your account credentials. We strongly recommend that you do not share your username, password, or other login credentials with anyone else.
Communication with You. We use your personal data to provide you with customer support and effective services, to respond promptly to your inquiries, and to maintain our business relationship with you.

How do we share personal information?
Under certain circumstances, we may share your personal information with third parties for legitimate purposes in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Such circumstances may include the following:
-
At Shopify, these include vendors and other third parties who provide services on our behalf (e.g., IT management, payment processing, data analysis, customer support, cloud storage, fulfillment, and shipping).
-
To process payments, we share personal data with the payment service providers we use, specifically Shopify Payments, PayPal, Klarna, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. This data is shared to the extent necessary to process the respective payment, fulfill the purchase agreement, prevent fraud, or conduct any other required payment verification. Depending on the selected payment method, this may include, in particular, your name, billing and shipping addresses, order details, payment information, and other data required for payment processing, which may be transmitted to the respective payment service provider. Depending on the purpose, processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR for contract fulfillment, Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR for compliance with statutory retention obligations, and, where applicable, on other applicable legal bases of the respective payment service providers. The data is stored by the payment service providers only for as long as is necessary for payment processing, fraud prevention, legal obligations, or other permissible purposes. Furthermore, processing by the respective payment service provider is carried out under its own data protection responsibility in accordance with its privacy policy.
-
To deliver the ordered goods, we share the necessary personal data with the shipping provider we have contracted. This typically includes your name, shipping address, email address (if applicable), phone number, and the order and package details required to track the shipment. This transfer is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, to the extent that it is necessary to fulfill the purchase contract. If the shipping service provider offers shipment tracking, delivery notifications, or return processing, it may be necessary to process additional data for these purposes. Further details can be found in the privacy policy of the respective shipping service provider. Depending on the shipping or fulfillment service provider used, personal data may also be transferred to service providers outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. In this case, we ensure that an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed through appropriate safeguards.
-
We share personal data with business and marketing partners who provide marketing services to you and display advertisements to you. For example, we use Shopify to support personalized advertising through third-party services based on your online activity across various retailers and websites. Our business and marketing partners use your data in accordance with their own privacy policies. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to instruct us not to share information about you to show you targeted ads and marketing based on your online activities across various merchants and websites. If you wish to exercise this right and opt out of such uses, you can do so here.
-
If you ask us to or otherwise consent to our sharing certain information with third parties, for example to deliver products to you or login integrations.
-
We share personal data with our affiliates or otherwise within our corporate group.
-
In connection with a business transaction such as a merger or bankruptcy, to comply with applicable legal obligations (including responding to subpoenas, search warrants, and similar requests), to enforce applicable Terms of Service or policies, and to protect or defend the Services, our rights, and the rights of our users or others.
Relationship with Shopify
The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal data regarding your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services for you. Data that you submit to the Services is shared with Shopify and with third parties, who may be located in countries other than the country where you reside, in order to provide and improve the Services for you. As the store operator, we are responsible for configuring and using the Shopify features we utilize, as well as our other data processing activities, in compliance with data protection regulations. To the extent that Shopify processes personal data for the technical provision, security, functionality, and operation of our online store, this is done in connection with the operation of the Shopify platform and the store features we use. To the extent that Shopify processes personal data for its own purposes, Shopify is responsible for this processing itself, including responding to your requests to exercise your rights regarding this processing.
For more information about how Shopify uses your personal data and what rights you have, please see the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy. Depending on where you live, you can exercise certain rights regarding your personal data listed here via the link to the Shopify Privacy Portal
Third-Party Websites and Links
The Services may provide links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you follow links to websites that are not affiliated with us or are not controlled by us, you should review their privacy and security policies, as well as their other terms and conditions. We make no guarantees and are not responsible for the privacy or security of such websites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the information found on those websites. Information you provide in public or semi-public areas, including information you share on third-party social networking platforms, may also be viewed by other users of the Services and/or users of these third-party platforms, without any restrictions on its use by us or by a third party. Our inclusion of such links does not imply that we endorse the content of these platforms or their owners or operators, unless expressly stated in the Services.
Children’s Data
The Services are not intended for use by children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children who are under the age of majority in your country. If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with personal data, you may contact us using the contact information provided below to request the deletion of that data. As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we are not aware that we “share” or “sell” (as those terms are defined under applicable law) personal data from individuals under the age of 16.
Security and Retention of Your Data
Please note that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we therefore cannot guarantee “perfect security.” In addition, information you send to us may be exposed to risks during transmission. We recommend that you do not use unsecured channels when sending sensitive or confidential information to us.
Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this Privacy Policy, we will retain your personal data until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you submit a valid request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will occur once these grounds no longer apply.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any harm to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.
Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain third-party services within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website features do not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart feature or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, for providing specific functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies used to measure website traffic) (necessary cookies), are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent may be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser to be notified when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
If additional cookies or similar technologies are used on this website, you can find this information in this Privacy Policy.
Google Analytics 4 (GA4) This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. GA4 uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of our website. The information generated in this way is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. Data is transferred to the United States on the basis of the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Use is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 25(1) TDDDG). You can revoke your consent at any time via our cookie settings. Further information: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Google Tag Manager (GTM) We use Google Tag Manager from Google Ireland Limited. Tag Manager itself does not set any cookies and does not process any personal data. It merely enables the management of other tags (such as GA4), which in turn may collect data. The privacy policies of the services integrated via GTM apply accordingly.
Die Einwilligungen für den Einsatz nicht notwendiger Cookies und vergleichbarer Technologien werden über ein Consent-Management-Tool eingeholt und können jederzeit über die Cookie-Einstellungen widerrufen oder angepasst werden.
Newsletter
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not share it with third parties.
The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent to the storage of your data and email address, as well as their use for sending the newsletter, at any time, for example via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you have provided to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe or once the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Data that we have stored for other purposes remains unaffected by this. After you unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider, if necessary, to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used solely for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage on the blacklist is not time-limited. You may object to the storage provided that your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
