Newsletter

5.1. Description and scope of data processing

On our website visitors can subscribe to our newsletter. When signing-up to receive a newsletter, we ask for your email address, first name, last name. This data is necessary to send the newsletter to its recipients.
The newsletter will be sent via email only after the sign-up process is completed. In order to meet the requirements of the GDPR, we use DOI (Double Opt.-In). If you sign up for our newsletter, we will send a confirmation email to the address you provided us with. This email contains a confirmation link that you must click to complete the sign-up process. Following this procedure, the IP address, date and time of login are stored. This is done to prevent abuses. We won’t transfer the data to third parties.

5.2. Legal basis for data processing

This processing is legally based on Art. 6 para. 1 s.1 lit. a) GDPR, thus your consent. Existing customers may also receive our newsletter without having given their explicit consent. This is carried out only within the strict boundaries of § 7 para.3 UWG (German Act against unfair Competition) and in accordance to Art. 95 GDPR. This equals the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 s.1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interests are to provide information about our products through promotional e-mails to our existing customers and thereby keep in contact with these customers.

5.3. Purpose of data processing

The newsletter has the functions of informing the affected parties about offers and news at a regular basis.

5.6. Mailchimp

5.6.1. Description and scope of data processing

The newsletter is sent via "Mailchimp", an online marketing platform. The data processing is carried out by: The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE # 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

Note on data processing in the USA:

By subscribing to the newsletter, you consent to the processing of your data by our shipping service provider in the USA in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a) GDPR. In the opinion of the ECJ, the data protection standard in the USA is inadequate and there is a risk that your data will be processed by the US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without the possibility of redress. A given consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in this notice, are stored on Mailchimp's servers in the USA. Mailchimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, according to its own information, Mailchimp can use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of the dispatch and the presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes in order to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, Mailchimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write them down or to pass them on to third parties. The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the Mailchimp server when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval, are initially collected. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, how often they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our aim nor that of Mailchimp to observe individual users. We trust in the reliability and the IT and data security of Mailchimp. We have also concluded a “Data Processing Agreement” with Mailchimp. This is a contract in which Mailchimp undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process it on our behalf in accordance with their data protection regulations and, in particular, not to pass them on to third parties. You can view Mailchimp's data protection provisions at https://Mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/.

5.6.2. Legal basis for data processing

The data processing by Mailchimp takes place on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

5.6.3. Purpose of data processing

We use Mailchimp as our shipping service provider to ensure effective address management and to stay in contact with you via the newsletter.

5.6.4. Duration of storage

According to Mailchimp, Mailchimp only stores your personal data for as long as we use your personal data to send the newsletter. Mailchimp deletes your data when we delete you from our address file.

5.6.5 Right to objection and erasure

You have the option to revoke your consent at any time. For this, please contact our data protection officer. In addition, you are always free to use the "opt-out" link at the end of every email, which means that we will delete your email address from our address file, which is why Mailchimp will not process your personal data any further . However, this has no influence on address files that Mailchimp manages on behalf of other clients.

Online shopping

6.1. Description and scope of data processing

When you shop at our website and a delivery is arranged, we will process your first name and surname, address, telephone number and e-mail address to complete the purchase agreement and the delivery agreement with you.
In the case of parcel deliveries, we also pass on your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address to our contracted processors and service providers.

6.2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 s.1 lit. b) GDPR. We are processing your data for the fulfilment of purchase contracts and supply agreements.

6.3. Purpose of data processing

We process your data to close the contract, to handle the payment, for billing, to ensure on-time delivery and to inform you about that delivery.
We provide your data to our contracted processors and service providers, so that they can process the delivery and, if necessary, communicate with you to announce and coordinate the delivery of your ordered goods.

6.4. Duration of storage

6.5. Right to objection and erasure

The data processing is necessary in order to be able to process your purchase contract, which is why it cannot be waived. There is therefore no option to object.

6.6 PayPal

6.6.1 Description and scope of data processing

We offer PayPal as a possible payment service. PayPal is a virtual means of payment. In order to use the payment service via PayPal, you must first register with PayPal. Data processing is carried out by: PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
If the user uses PayPal as a means of payment, personal data of the user will be transmitted to PayPal, to which he ultimately agrees. The personal data includes:

Frist and last name,
Address,
E-Mail address,
IP-address,
Telephone number,
if necessary mobile number
and other data, which are necessary for the final payment transaction.

In addition to the transfer of data to credit bureaus, it is also possible that PayPal may transfer the personal data to affiliated companies, including subcontractors, as far as this is necessary to fulfill the contractual obligations. The same applies to order processing.

For the privacy policy of PayPal, please refer to the following link: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full

6.6.2 Legal basis of data processing

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

6.6.3 Purpose of data processing

The transmission of the data is necessary to prevent any possible misuse. We inform you that PayPal may transfer your personal information to credit bureaus. This is because PayPal reserves its right to verify the identity and creditworthiness of the user.

6.6.4 Duration of storage

6.6.5 Right to objection and erasure

Data processing is mandatory in order to process your payment through PayPal, so it cannot be waived if you have chosen this payment method. Therefore, objecting is impossible or would lead to withdrawal from the contract.

Social media on our website

We have integrated the social media service Instagram on our website via a link, which means that the social media provider may receive data from you. If you click on the social media link, the website of the social media provider will be called up. By calling up the websites of the social media provider via our website, we transmit the relevant reference data to the social media provider. The social media provider receives the information that you have visited us.

Note on data processing in the USA:

If you click on the social media link, your data may be processed by Instagram in the USA. In the opinion of the ECJ, the data protection standard in the USA is inadequate and there is a risk that your data will be processed by the US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without the possibility of redress. Unless you click on the Instgram link, data will not be transmitted.

Further information on data processing by the social media provider can be found here:

In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer. For further information on the data protection provisions of Matomo, we refer to the following links: https://matomo.org/privacy/ and https://matomo.org/privacy-policy/

8.1.2 Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a) of the GDPR.

Service providers from third countries

In order to be able to provide our services, we use the support of service providers from third party countries (non-EU countries). In order to ensure the protection of your personal data in this case, we conclude processing contracts with each - carefully selected - service provider. All of our processors provide sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures. Our third country data processors are either located in a country with an adequate level of data protection (Art. 45 GDPR) or provide appropriate safeguards (Art 46 GDPR).

Adequate level of protection: The provider comes from a country whose level of data protection has been recognized by the EU Commission. For more information, see: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/adequacy-protection-personal-data-non-eu-countries_en

EU standard contract clauses: Our provider has submitted to the EU standard contractual clauses to ensure secure data transfer. For more information, see: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2010:039:0005:0018:DE:PDF

Binding Corporate Rules: Article 47 of the GDPR provides the possibility of ensuring data protection when transferring data to a third country via Binding Corporate Rules. These are examined and approved by the data security authorities within the framework of the consistency mechanism pursuant to Art. 63 GDPR.

Consent: In addition, a data transfer to a third country without an adequate level of protection will only take place if you have given us your consent in accordance with Art. 49 sec. 1 lit. a) GDPR for this purpose.

To withdraw your consent, contact the controller personally or in written form.

Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)

Right to rectification and erasure (Art. 16, 17 GDPR)

You have the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification and completion of inaccurate personal data concerning yourself.

You may also request the deletion of your personal data if any of the following applies to you:

the personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;

you withdraw consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6 Para. 1 s.1 lit. a) or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground of processing;

the personal data have to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which we are subject;

the personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8 Para. 1.

Where the personal data has been made public and the controller is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Art. 17 Para. 1 GDPR, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that you have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

These rights shall not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:

for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;

for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which we are subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance of Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. h) and i) as well as Para. 9 Para. 3 GDPR;

for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 Para. 1 GDPR, in so far as the right referred to above is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or

for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)

You shall have the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

the accuracy of the personal data is contested by you, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;

the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;

the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;

you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override yours.

Where processing has been restricted under the aforementioned conditions, such personal data shall, except for storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If the limitation of the processing is restricted, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Right to information (Art. 19 GDPR)

If you have asserted the controller your right to rectification, deletion or restriction of data processing, the controller will inform all recipients of your personal data to correct, delete or restrict the processing of data, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You also have the right to know which recipients have received your personal data.

Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

You have the right to receive your personal data, which you provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Also, you have the right to transmit those data to another controller, where

the processing is based on consent pursuant of Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. a) GDPR or of Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a) GDPR or is based on a contract pursuant of Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b) DS-GVO; and

the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising your right to data portability, you have the right to obtain that personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, as far as technically feasible. The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority that has been delegated to the controller.

Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)

Where the controller based the processing of your personal data on a legitimate interest (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR), you may object to the processing. The same applies if the data processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. e).

In this case, please explain the reasons why the controller should not process your personal data. Based on this the controller will terminate or adapt the data processing or show you our legitimate reasons why the controller continues the data processing.

Right to lodge a complaint with supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR)

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been submitted shall inform you of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy according to Article 78 GDPR.
