Data protection at Zaunkoenig
Zaunkoenig is an engineering-driven company. Not a marketing-driven company. That is why we are not interested in collecting your data. We are only interested in making better gaming mice. Since we are not interested in collecting your data, We do not use Google Analytics to check what you are doing on our website. And we we do not use cookies to follow you around the internet. The only cookies on zaunkoenig.co are the ones that are required for Shopify to function; but not a single cookie more.
What follows is an overview over our tech stack.
Amazon Web Services
We host our domain, website and newsletter on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Communication between your browser and AWS is encrypted (Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL for short). AWS will automatically store information that your browser transmits to zaunkoenig.co: date and time of your visit, browser type and version, operating system, host name as well as IP address. For our newsletter we only save your email address, but not your name or any other information about you. We do not track whether you open one of our newsletters or click on links in that newsletter. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time.
We will not merge website data with newsletter data, nor will we merge any other data. We also do not give that data to third parties.
Shopify
We use Shopify for our webshop. For all customers from the EU Shopify will use its Ireland location. However some personal data can be processed in Canada, where Shopify is from. Shopify needs some technical cookies to function, however we do not use Shopifys marketing cookies on top of that. Without some basic data like your name (though I learned just recently that when you order in a webshop you can do so under with made-up names like «Superman»; all the shipping company really needs to deliver a parcel is your address) and address we cannot sell mice in our webshop (this is called fulfillment of our legal obligations, see Art. 6 GDPR). Our webshop is not meant for children under 16 years of age.
If you buy from us, there will be a record of this transaction in Shopify. We do not delete that purchase information automatically. The reason for this: should you run into an issue with your Zaunkoenig gaming mouse we can help you better if the information about your order is still in Shopify.
You can order us to show what information we have about your Shopify orders (Art. 15 GDPR), to rectify that data (Art. 16 GDPR), to delete it (Art. 17 GDPR), to restrict processing of that data (Art. 18 GDPR) and you can order us to give you all data we have from you (Art. 20 GDPR).
Google Workspace
Sending emails. Receiving emails. Deleting emails. We do all that with Google Workspace.
We will not automatically delete your emails aftera certain amount of time. We do this so we can better help you in the future. Say you have been in contact with us via email about mouse feet. When you send us a follow-up question a year later, we can better help you since we can read through the email history.
You can however order us to delete all emails between you and us (Art. 17 GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR)
If you think our data protection is lacking (which we would find surprising, considering how we just told you we are not interested in collecting your data at all :P), you can contact the state commissioner for data protection and freedom of information in Baden-Württemberg:
