3. Hosting and technical infrastructure
The publicly accessible website is hosted as a static website by All-Inkl / KAS-Server (kasserver.com) in Germany. When pages are accessed, technical access data (e.g. IP address, date/time, requested URL, referrer, browser and operating system information) is processed in server log files.
Orders, customer data and shop administration are processed through our API at max.europaper.de (europaper GmbH’s own server infrastructure in Germany). The connection between the website and the API is encrypted (HTTPS/TLS).
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure, stable operation of the online shop).
Retention period: log data at the hosting provider is generally retained for a few weeks, unless longer retention is necessary for security purposes.
4. SSL/TLS encryption
This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can recognise an encrypted connection by “https://” in your browser’s address bar.
5. Shopping cart (localStorage)
We store products you add to your cart locally in your browser’s localStorage so that your cart is preserved when you move between pages. This stores only item and quantity information, with no personal contact details.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (ease of use).
Retention period: until you empty the cart or delete your browser data.
6. Orders and customer data
When you place an order, we process the data you enter to perform the contract, for example:
Company, contact person, billing and delivery address
Email address and telephone number
Items ordered, quantities, prices, shipping method
VAT ID and internal customer number, where applicable
The data is stored through our shop API at max.europaper.de in our order and customer management system and processed by authorised employees of europaper GmbH.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of the contract and pre-contractual measures); Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR (statutory retention obligations).
Retention period: for the duration of the business relationship and thereafter in accordance with statutory retention periods.
7. Payment processing
Depending on the payment method selected, payment data is processed directly by the respective payment service provider or handled internally by us:
PayPal — PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22–24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg. Privacy information: paypal.com privacy policy
Invoice — payment processing and credit checks by europaper GmbH
Cash on delivery — payment to the delivery agent; we do not permanently store payment data
Direct debit (SEPA) — collection through our payment operations; bank details used only to perform the contract
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of the contract).
8. Email delivery (order confirmation)
After a successful order, we send an order confirmation by email through our SMTP mail server (w01aae19.kasserver.com). The email contains the information necessary to process the order (e.g. order number, items, delivery address).
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of the contract).
9. Web analytics (Google Analytics 4)
With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID: G-MXP12R598E) to analyse shop usage statistically and record which campaigns visits originate from (e.g. page views, search terms, product views, cart and purchase events). It is integrated through a separate analytics frame; no Google Tag Manager container or Google Ads is loaded as part of this integration. Advertising storage, advertising personalisation and Google Signals remain disabled. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (data may be transferred to Google LLC, USA).
Analytics is loaded only after you give your consent in the consent dialog. No analytics takes place without consent. We store your decision in localStorage under pd24-analytics-consent-v2 as JSON with analytics (true or false), version (2) and at (time of the decision in ISO format). The additional exclusion of your own test visits is stored under pd24-analytics-exclude-v1 as true or false and prevents analytics in this browser even if consent has been given.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). You can withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future: open “Privacy settings” in the footer and select “Necessary only”. This stops analytics and initiates deletion of Google Analytics cookies in this browser. It does not retroactively delete data already collected.
