7. Risk Ident GmbH

We employ the services of the IT Security Agency Risk Ident GmbH (Zippelhaus 2, 20457
Hamburg, Deutschland) for our website. All communication between us and Risk Ident
takes place with the sole purpose of combating fraud when using our website.

a) Data Storage
Risk Ident collects and processes specific data on our users about the configuration of the
user’s end device (“device-specific data”), raw data from the TCP/IP connection and data on
the use of our website. In the process, tracking technology, such as cookies and JavaScript
elements and Shockwave Flash objects are used which are integrated into the website.
Cookies are text files which save the visited website via the browser onto your computer
and which contain information about the use of this website. The JavaScript and
Shockwave Flash objects make it possible to read information on the user’s end device,
which is automatically transmitted after each internet session. For technical reasons, the
user’s IP address is collected and processed by Risk Ident and encoded by Risk Ident
within seconds. Risk Ident saves the information anonymously onto a databank for fraud
prevention.

b) Data Retrieval
Whenever a user concludes a contract or aims to conclude a contract over our website, e.g.
by setting up a user account or by beginning the check-out process in order to buy a certain
item, we call up a risk assessment on Risk Ident’s databank which has been saved there for
the user’s end device. This risk assessment, based inter alia on information ascertains (a) if
the user’s end device is currently communicating or has communicated in the past a proxy
connection, (b) if the end device has recently dialed into various internet service providers,
(c) if the end device exhibits or has exhibited a frequent change in geo-reference, (d) how
many internet transactions have been made in recent weeks (whereby we are not informed
about the type of transaction), and (e) how probable it is that the end device saved in the
Risk Ident data bank really belongs to the user. (The result of this risk assessment helps us
to prevent fraud on our website. The data, however, is not a sole criterion to either complete
or terminate a purchase).

8. Survey Tools
Customer satisfaction surveys are carried out using a tool supplied by an external service
provider (SurveyMonkey). Please ensure that the provider of this tool implements its own
data protection strategy. Participation in customer surveys is voluntary. The customer
survey is configured so that IP addresses or e-mails are not collected automatically. E-mail
addresses will not be disclosed to third parties. The SurveyMonkey website uses Cookies.
