Your data is collected when you provide it voluntarily – e.g., when registering/logging in, placing an order, contacting us via the contact form, or booking an appointment.

We use your data to process your order, for customer communication and – if you register – for our newsletter.

Your data may be transferred to service providers such as Wix.com (hosting, shop), Google Analytics (web analysis), Mailchimp (newsletter), as well as Calendly or Wix Bookings (appointment scheduling). These may also be located in third countries (e.g., the US).

​

studioequi.de is hosted on the Wix.com Ltd. platform. Wix stores data on secure servers and uses standard contractual clauses (SCCs) in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR as standard to secure data transfers to third countries. Further information can be found at: https://de.wix.com/about/privacy.

Payment processing, third-country transfers, and consent

​

We use external payment service providers to process payments on our website. Depending on the payment method selected, we pass on the data required for payment processing (e.g., name, payment information, invoice amount, email address, and address, if applicable) to the respective payment service provider.

​

Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (contract fulfillment) and, where necessary, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in secure and efficient payment processing). If cookies or similar technologies are used through the integration of the services, or if personal data is already transmitted when loading the payment provider components (e.g. payment buttons or widgets), this is done exclusively on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR in conjunction with § 25 (1) TTDSG via our consent banner.

Some of the payment service providers mentioned may transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Union (in particular to the USA, China, and Japan).
