General Information on Data Protection

The following explains what happens to your personal data when you visit our website or order a surf poncho or other products. Personal data is information that can identify you personally. This information is intended to inform you about your rights and provide transparency regarding how we process your data.

Data Controller

The data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator in accordance with Art. 4 No. 7 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Data Collection & Processing

We only collect information that you provide to us voluntarily, such as during the order process or when using our contact form. Other data is automatically collected by our IT systems when you visit the website, primarily technical data (operating system, web browser, or the time of your visit, so-called server log files). Additionally, the status and amount of data transferred during your request are recorded.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., via email) may have security gaps. Complete protection against access by third parties is not possible. Therefore, we cannot guarantee 100% security for data transmitted via our website.

All information we receive from or about you is generally processed on servers within the European Union. Transfer of your data to or processing in third countries only occurs with your explicit consent, unless legally required and an adequate level of data protection is ensured in the third country. We generally do not share personal data with third parties unless you have consented or we are legally required to do so (e.g., law enforcement, danger prevention, or protection of intellectual property rights).

In some cases, we may transfer your data to external service providers (processors) to simplify our data processing. These processors are contractually obligated according to Art. 28 GDPR to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in compliance with GDPR and to protect your rights. Despite using processors, we remain the responsible entity for your personal data.
