Privacy
Protection of your personal data is of utmost importance to us. Therefore, we process your data exclusively in accordance with legal regulations (GDPR, TKG 2003). In this privacy policy, we inform you about the key aspects of data processing on our website.
Contacting Us
When you contact us via the website form or email, we store your provided data for processing inquiries and for follow-up questions for a period of six months. We do not disclose this data without your consent.
Data Storage
For the purpose of simplifying the purchase process and subsequent contract fulfillment, the webshop operator stores IP data of the internet connection owner, as well as the name and address of the buyer, through cookies. Additionally, for contract fulfillment, we also store data such as name, address, email, etc. The data you provide is necessary for contract fulfillment or for carrying out pre-contractual measures. Without this data, we cannot conclude a contract with you. There is no transmission of this data to third parties, except for the transfer of credit card data to the processing bank/payment service provider for the purpose of debiting the purchase price, to the transport company/shipping company commissioned by us for delivery of the goods, and to our tax advisor to fulfill our tax obligations.
We assure you that we do not disclose your personal data to third parties unless we are legally obligated to do so or you have given express consent. When we use third-party services for processing operations, we comply with the provisions of the data protection laws. The personal data provided to us during an order or via email (e.g., name, contact information) is only processed for correspondence with you and solely for the purpose for which you provided the data. After the order process is abandoned, the data stored by us is deleted. In the case of a contract conclusion, all data from the contractual relationship is stored until the expiration of the tax retention period. The data processing is based on the legal provisions of § 96 Para 3 TKG as well as Art 6 Para 1 lit a (consent) and/or lit b (necessary for contract fulfillment) of the GDPR.
Our webshop is hosted on the e-commerce platform provided by Shopify (Shopify Inc., Waterloo, ON, Canada). We have concluded a (standard) contract for order data processing with Shopify. When you create a user account or make a purchase in our webshop, you disclose personal information that is forwarded to and stored and processed on Shopify servers in the USA and Canada.

Cookies
Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device via the browser. They do not cause any harm. We use cookies to make our offer user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit. If you do not wish this, you can set up your browser so that it informs you about the setting of cookies and you only allow this in individual cases. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.
Newsletter
You have the option to subscribe to our newsletter via our website. For this, we need your email address and your declaration that you agree to receive the newsletter. Additionally, we voluntarily collect information on interests, birthday, and postal code to provide you with targeted information.

To do this, simply click on "unsubscribe" at the bottom of any newsletter email from us. We will then promptly delete your data related to the newsletter dispatch.
OneSignal Push Notification
When you visit our websites, we ask you with a screen message if we may notify you of news in the future using messages sent by your browser (push notifications). Consent is given for each browser in which you are logged in. If you consent, you will receive push notifications from our website at regular intervals. By clicking, you will be taken directly to the advertised website and/or action. You have the option to unsubscribe from push notifications at any time if you no longer wish to receive them. This can be done directly (depending on the browser/system) with each delivered push notification or on our website, as well as in general browser/system settings (depending on the browser/system). We use the technology of provider OneSignal, 201 San Antonio Circle Suite #140, Mountain View, CA, USA, to implement this. You can find the provider's privacy information here: https://onesignal.com/privacy_policy.
To transmit the push notifications, it is necessary to transmit non-personal data, such as a message, to the OneSignal server. It is necessary to assign a non-personal ID to the device for unique identification, which does not allow OneSignal to draw conclusions about the person. OneSignal may also place cookies on your device if you have consented to the use and storage of third-party cookies. The purpose of using the service is to facilitate the processing of requests and provide our website. The legal basis for the use of cookies is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit a GDPR, as the data processing is based on your consent. Otherwise, the legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit f GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in processing inquiries voluntarily addressed to us. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for our record keeping or to process your request, usually within 90 days in our case. You can revoke your consent to the storage and use of cookies by OneSignal by disabling "third-party cookies" or using browser settings or browser add-ons; however, we would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of our website to their full extent. OneSignal has committed to complying with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework on the collection, use, and storage of personal data from EU member states through certification with the US Department of Commerce.

About Us
Hi, I’m Burak!
You may know me by my YouTube name, “TheWristGuy.”
What started as a simple hobby has grown into one of the largest German-speaking communities. In addition to videos offering advice, recommendations, and reviews on luxury watches, we’ve decided to channel our expertise into unique products.
This led to the creation of our brand, “twg.” Exclusive products, handcrafted with love and attention to detail by watch collectors, for watch collectors. Our focus is primarily on straps (NATO straps, rubber straps, etc.) and storage solutions (watch rolls, zip cases).
