Data protection
We are pleased about your interest in the online shop of korallenfarm joe & Co.
The protection of your personal data during the collection, processing, and use during your visit to our website or your order is very important to us. Your data is protected in accordance with legal regulations, in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). Below you will find information about which data is collected during your visit to our website and how it is used:
Handling of personal data
Personal data is information that can be used to identify an individual, i.e., information that can be traced back to an individual. This includes a name, email address, or telephone number. Data about preferences, hobbies, memberships, or which websites someone has visited also counts as personal data.
Personal data will only be collected, used and passed on by the provider if this is permitted by law or if the users consent to the data collection.
Contact us
When contacting the provider (for example via contact form or email), the user's details are stored for the purpose of processing the request and in the event that follow-up questions arise.
Comments and contributions
When users leave comments on the blog or other posts, their IP addresses are stored. This is done for the provider's security in case someone posts illegal content (insults, prohibited political propaganda, etc.) in comments or posts. In this case, the provider itself can be prosecuted for the comment or post and is therefore interested in the identity of the author.
Comment subscriptions
Users can subscribe to subsequent comments. Users will receive a confirmation email to verify that they are the owner of the email address entered. Users can unsubscribe from ongoing comment subscriptions at any time. The confirmation email will contain instructions on how to do so.
Newsletter
With the newsletter we inform you about us and our offers.
If you would like to receive the newsletter, we require a valid email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address or that the owner agrees to receive the newsletter. No further data will be collected. This data will only be used to send the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties.
When you subscribe to the newsletter, we save your IP address and the date of registration. This storage serves solely as evidence in the event that a third party misuses an email address and registers to receive the newsletter without the knowledge of the authorized user.
You can revoke your consent to the storage of your data, your email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time. You can revoke your consent via a link in the newsletter itself, in your profile area, or by sending a message to the contact details listed above.
Integration of third-party services and content
It may happen that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds, or graphics from other websites, is integrated into this website. This always requires that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") perceive the user's IP address. Without the IP address, they could not send the content to the user's browser. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. We endeavor to only use content whose respective providers use the IP address solely to deliver the content. However, we have no influence on whether the third-party providers save the IP address, e.g., for statistical purposes. As far as we are aware of this, we will inform users.
Cookies
Cookies are small files that allow specific, device-related information to be stored on the user's access device (PC, smartphone, etc.). On the one hand, they improve the user-friendliness of websites and thus the users (e.g., storing login data). On the other hand, they are used to collect statistical data on website usage and analyze it to improve the service. Users can influence the use of cookies.

Use of Facebook social plugins
This website uses social plugins ("plugins") from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). The plugins are recognizable by one of the Facebook logos (a white "f" on a blue tile or a "thumbs up" sign) or are marked with the addition "Facebook Social Plugin." The list and appearance of the Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/ .
When a user visits a website of this provider that contains such a plugin, their browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser, which then integrates it into the website. The provider therefore has no influence on the extent of the data that Facebook collects using this plugin and therefore informs users accordingly. Level of knowledge :
By integrating the plug-in, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the service. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to their Facebook account. When users interact with the plug-in, for example, by clicking the Like button or leaving a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. Even if a user is not a Facebook member, it is still possible that Facebook will obtain and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.
The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as the related rights and setting options for protecting the privacy of users can be found in Facebook's privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ .
If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about him or her through this service and link it to his or her member data stored on Facebook, he or she must log out of Facebook before visiting the website.
+1 button from Google+
This website uses the "+1" button of the Google Plus social network, which is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google"). The button is recognizable by the "+1" symbol on a white or colored background.
When a user visits a website on this site that contains such a button, their browser establishes a direct connection to Google's servers. The content of the "+1" button is transmitted directly from Google to their browser, which integrates it into the website. The provider therefore has no influence on the scope of the data Google collects with the button. According to Google, no personal data is collected without clicking the button. Such data, including the IP address, is only collected and processed for logged-in members.
The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google as well as your rights and setting options for protecting your privacy can be found in Google's privacy policy for the "+1" button: http://www.google.com/intl/de/+/policy/+1button.html and the FAQ: http://www.google.com/intl/de/+1/button/.

When a user visits a page on this website that contains such a button, their browser establishes a direct connection to the Twitter servers.
