Current operating status as of 11 September 2026
Shopify Network Intelligence, Shopify Inbox including its AI agent, hCaptcha and the Shopify integrations with Google and Meta are currently deactivated. The newsletter sign-up in the shop theme is deactivated; consent to email marketing may still be offered at checkout or in the customer account. Where consent has been given, Shopify may send reminders about your cart, products viewed, price changes or items back in stock. The contact form is active and uses its own spam protection without cookies or third-party services (see “Collection and processing when using the contact form”). You can also contact us by email. The information marked below with “Status: currently deactivated” relates to previous use and data already transmitted.
Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is neither required by law or contract nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the data. Failure to provide it has no consequences. This applies only insofar as no other information is given for the processing operations described below.
"Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our overriding legitimate interest in ensuring the trouble-free operation of our website and in improving our offering.

Customer-initiated contact by email
If you contact us by email on your own initiative for business purposes, we collect your personal data (name, email address, message text) only to the extent you provide it. The data processing serves to handle and respond to your contact request.
If the contact serves to take pre-contractual measures (e.g. advice on a potential purchase, preparing a quotation) or concerns a contract already concluded between you and us, this data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
If you contact us for other reasons, this data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our overriding legitimate interest in handling and responding to your enquiry. In this case, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to this processing of personal data concerning you that is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
We use your email address only to handle your enquiry. Your data will then be deleted in compliance with statutory retention periods, unless you have consented to further processing and use.
Collection and processing when using the contact form
When you use the contact form, we collect your personal data (name, email address, message text as well as the selected topic and an optional item number) only to the extent you provide it. The data processing serves the purpose of making contact.
If the contact serves to take pre-contractual measures (e.g. advice on a potential purchase, preparing a quotation) or concerns a contract already concluded between you and us, this data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
If you contact us for other reasons, this data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our overriding legitimate interest in handling and responding to your enquiry.

We use your email address only to handle your enquiry. Your data will then be deleted in compliance with statutory retention periods, unless you have consented to further processing and use.
Spam protection in the contact form (entry code)
To protect against automated requests (spam), we use our own entry code in the contact form. Your browser generates a random character code and displays it as an image; you type it in. We also check that a field that is invisible to humans remains empty and that the form is not sent immediately after the page has loaded. This check takes place exclusively in your browser. No cookies are set, no data is stored on your device and no third-party services are involved. Along with your message, we only transmit a note that the code was confirmed. The optional “Read aloud” function only uses the speech output installed on your device.
The contact form is transmitted via our shop provider Shopify, which delivers your message to us by email. The processing for spam protection is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our overriding legitimate interest in protecting our contact form against misuse.
For the technical provision and management of the withdrawal function on our online presence, we use, within the scope of processing on our behalf, a software solution of the third-party provider Shopify. The self-service page may require you to log in to your customer account and does not replace the option of declaring your withdrawal via the contact channels stated in the withdrawal information (self-service returns and cancellations via https://konto.checkpoint-cinema.com/orders)
When you use the withdrawal function, your collected personal data is transmitted to the servers of the third-party providers named above.
If you contact us for business purposes via WhatsApp, we use the WhatsApp Business version of WhatsApp Ireland Limited (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland; “WhatsApp”) for this purpose. If you are located outside the European Economic Area, this service is provided by WhatsApp Inc. (1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA).
The data processing serves to handle and respond to your contact request. For this purpose, we collect and process the mobile phone number you have stored with WhatsApp, your name if provided, and other data to the extent you provide it. For this service, we use a mobile device whose address book only stores data of users who have contacted us via WhatsApp. Personal data is therefore not passed on to WhatsApp unless you have already consented to this vis-à-vis WhatsApp.
Your data is transmitted by WhatsApp to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the European Commission, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Meta Platforms Inc. has certified itself under the TADPF and has thereby undertaken to comply with European data protection principles. If the contact serves to take pre-contractual measures (e.g. advice on a potential purchase, preparing a quotation) or concerns a contract already concluded between you and us, this data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
If you contact us for other reasons, this data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our overriding legitimate interest in providing a quick and easy way to contact us and in responding to your enquiry. In this case, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to this processing of personal data concerning you that is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
We use your personal data only to handle your enquiry. Your data will then be deleted in compliance with statutory retention periods, unless you have consented to further processing and use.

This storage is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our and your legitimate interest in preventing your email address from being used again to send our newsletter. You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to this processing of personal data concerning you.

Use of Shopify Payments
On our website, we use the payment service "Shopify Payments" of Shopify International Limited (2nd Floor Victoria Buildings, 1-2 Haddington Road, Dublin 4, D04 XN32, Ireland; "Shopify").

Stripe reserves the right to obtain, where applicable, a credit report based on mathematical-statistical methods from credit agencies. For this purpose, Stripe transmits the personal data required for a credit check to a credit agency and uses the information received on the statistical probability of a payment default to make a balanced decision on the establishment, performance or termination of the contractual relationship. The credit report may contain probability values (score values) that are calculated on the basis of scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical methods and whose calculation includes, among other things, address data. Your interests worthy of protection are taken into account in accordance with the statutory provisions. The data processing serves the purpose of a credit check for the initiation of a contract. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our overriding legitimate interest in protection against payment default where Stripe performs in advance.
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to this processing of personal data concerning you that is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR by notifying Stripe. Providing the data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract using the payment method you have requested.
