Privacy policy

The protection of your personal data is a special concern for us. We therefore process your data exclusively on the basis of legal provisions (General Data Protection Regulation - GDPR, Telecommunications Act - TKG 2003). In this data protection information, we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing within our website.

1. Contact us

If you contact us via a form on the website or by email (info@mekidim.com), your provided data will be stored by us for six months for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for any follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

2. Data storage in the context of the purchasing process

We point out that for the purpose of simplifying the purchasing process and for later contract processing, the IP data of the connection owner is stored by the webshop operator within the framework of cookies, as well as the buyer's name, address, email address, and payment data (e.g., credit card number or bank details).

The data provided by you is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Without this data, we cannot conclude the contract with you. Data is not transferred to third parties, with the exception of the transfer of credit card data or bank details to the processing banks/payment service providers for the purpose of debiting the purchase price, to the transport company/shipping company commissioned by us for the delivery of the goods, and to our tax advisor for the fulfillment of our tax obligations.

After cancellation of the purchasing process, the data stored by us will be deleted. In the event of a contract being concluded, all data from the contractual relationship will be stored until the expiry of the tax retention period (7 years). The data, name, address, purchased goods, and date of purchase will also be stored until the expiry of product liability (10 years). Data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of § 96 Abs. 3 TKG and Article 6 Abs. 1 lit a of the GDPR (consent) and/or lit b (necessary for contract fulfillment) of the GDPR.

3. Cookies

Our website uses so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device with the help of the browser. They do not cause any damage.

We use cookies to make our offer user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

If you do not wish this, you can set your browser so that it informs you about the setting of cookies and you only allow this in individual cases.

If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of our website may be limited.

4. Web Analysis (Google Analytics)

Our website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Cookies are used for this purpose, which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated thereby is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google Analytics does not collect your name, address, or date of birth; you remain anonymous when merely visiting our website.

You can prevent this by setting your browser so that no cookies are stored.

By using our website, you agree to the processing of the data collected about you by Google. Data collection and storage can be circumvented at any time, but not retroactively, by installing a deactivation add-on for Google Analytics browsers at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de (in German) or https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en (in English).

Data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of § 96 Abs. 3 TKG and Article 6 Abs. 1 lit a (consent) and/or f (legitimate interest) of the GDPR.

Our concern in the sense of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is the improvement of our offer and our website. Since the privacy of our users is important to us, user data is pseudonymized.

5. Integration of Social Media Content

Our website may integrate content and functions from social networks (e.g., Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) to present our products and brand and to enable interaction with you. These functions are operated by the respective providers of the social networks (e.g., Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA for Instagram).

If you access a page of our website that contains such content, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective social network. The content is transmitted directly from the provider to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, the provider receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile with this social network or are not currently logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server of the provider in the USA or other countries and stored there.

If you are logged in to the respective social network, the provider can directly assign the visit to our website to your profile. If you interact with the functions (e.g., share content or comment), this information is also transmitted directly to a server of the provider and stored there. The information may also be published on your profile and displayed to your contacts.

The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by social networks, as well as your corresponding rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found in the privacy policies of the respective providers:


If you do not want the social network to directly assign the data collected via our website to your profile, you must log out of this social network before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the loading of plugins with add-ons for your browser. e.g.,
