Terms used

"Personal data" means all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"); a natural person is considered identifiable if he or she can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier (e.g. cookie) or to one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

"Processing" means any operation or set of operations carried out with or without the aid of automated procedures in connection with personal data. The term is broad and covers practically every handling of data.

"Pseudonymisation" means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.

"Profiling" means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements. The

"controller" is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

"Processor" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

Relevant legal bases

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we will inform you of the legal basis for our data processing. If the legal basis is not mentioned in the data protection declaration, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 (1) (a) and Art. 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our services and carry out contractual measures as well as answering inquiries is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Security measures

In accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, we take suitable technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of processing as well as the varying likelihood of occurrence and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

The measures include in particular ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as access, input, transfer, securing availability and separation of data. Furthermore, we have set up procedures that ensure the exercise of data subjects' rights, deletion of data and response to threats to data. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account when developing or selecting hardware, software and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings (Art. 25 GDPR).

Cooperation with processors and third parties

If, as part of our processing, we disclose data to other people and companies (contract processors or third parties), transmit it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only be done on the basis of a legal permission (e.g. if transmission of the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary to fulfill the contract in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR), you have consented, a legal obligation provides for this or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).

If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called "contract processing agreement", this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.

Transfers to third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this occurs in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure or transmission of data to third parties, this only takes place if it is necessary to fulfil our (pre)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, due to a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we only process or have the data processed in a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR are met. This means that the processing takes place, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination of a data protection level corresponding to that of the EU (e.g. for the USA through the "Privacy Shield") or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations (so-called "standard contractual clauses").

Rights of the data subjects

You have the right to request confirmation as to whether or not data concerning you is being processed and to request information about this data as well as further information and a copy of the data in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR. In accordance with

Art. 16 GDPR, you have the right to request that the data concerning you be completed or that inaccurate data concerning you be corrected.

Cookies and right to object to direct advertising

Cookies are small files that are stored on users' computers. Different information can be stored within cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit to an online service. Temporary cookies, or "session cookies" or "transient cookies", are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online service and closes their browser. Such a cookie can store, for example, the contents of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status. Cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed are referred to as "permanent" or "persistent". For example, the login status can be stored if the user visits the site after several days. Likewise, the interests of the user can be stored in such a cookie, which are used for range measurement or marketing purposes. Cookies offered by providers other than the person responsible for operating the online service are referred to as "third-party cookies" (otherwise, if they are only their cookies, they are referred to as "first-party cookies").

We can use temporary and permanent cookies and explain this in our privacy policy.

If users do not want cookies to be saved on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Saved cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. Excluding cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this online service.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ . Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by deactivating them in the browser settings. Please note that in this case, not all functions of this website may be available.

Deletion of data

The data we process is deleted or restricted in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no statutory retention periods that prevent deletion. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons.

According to legal requirements in Germany, storage takes place in particular for 10 years in accordance with Sections 147 Para. 1 AO, 257 Para. 1 No. 1 and 4, Para. 4 HGB (books, records, management reports, accounting documents, commercial books, documents relevant for taxation, etc.) and 6 years in accordance with Section 257 Para. 1 No. 2 and 3, Para. 4 HGB (commercial letters).

According to legal requirements in Austria, storage takes place in particular for 7 years in accordance with Section 132 Para. 1 BAO (accounting documents, receipts/invoices, accounts, receipts, business papers, statements of income and expenditure, etc.), for 22 years in connection with real estate and for 10 years for documents in connection with electronically provided services, telecommunications, radio and television services that are provided to non-entrepreneurs in EU member states and for which the Mini One Stop Shop (MOSS) is used.

 

Business-related processing

 

In addition, we process
- contract data (e.g., subject matter of the contract, term, customer category).
- payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history)
from our customers, interested parties and business partners for the purpose of providing contractual services, service and customer care, marketing, advertising and market research.

 

Order processing in the online shop and customer account

 

We process our customers' data as part of the ordering process in our online shop in order to enable them to select and order the selected products and services, as well as to pay for and deliver them or have them carried out.

The data processed includes inventory data, communication data, contract data, payment data, and the persons affected by the processing include our customers, interested parties and other business partners. The processing is carried out for the purpose of providing contractual services as part of the operation of an online shop, billing, delivery and customer services. We use session cookies to store the shopping cart contents and permanent cookies to store the login status.

The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letters b (Execution of order processes) and c (Legally required archiving) GDPR. The information marked as required is necessary to establish and fulfill the contract. We only disclose the data to third parties as part of delivery, payment or within the scope of legal permissions and obligations to legal advisors and authorities. The data is only processed in third countries if this is necessary to fulfil the contract (e.g. at the customer's request for delivery or payment).

Users can optionally create a user account, in which they can view their orders in particular. As part of the registration, the required mandatory information is communicated to the users. The user accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. If users have cancelled their user account, their data with regard to the user account will be deleted, subject to their retention being necessary for commercial or tax law reasons in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter c of GDPR. Information in the customer account remains until it is deleted and then archived in the event of a legal obligation. It is the responsibility of the user to back up their data before the end of the contract if the contract is terminated.

As part of the registration and re-registration as well as the use of our online services, we save the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the user's interests in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. As a general rule, this data will not be passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

Deletion occurs after expiry of statutory warranty and comparable obligations, the necessity of retaining the data is reviewed every three years; in the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion occurs after their expiry (end of commercial law (6 years) and tax law (10 years) retention obligation).

 

External payment service providers

 

We use external payment service providers via whose platforms the users and we can carry out payment transactions (e.g., each with a link to the privacy policy, Paypal (https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full), Klarna (https://www.klarna.com/de/datenschutz/), Skrill (https://www.skrill.com/de/fusszeile/datenschutzrichtlinie/), Giropay (https://www.giropay.de/rechtliches/datenschutz-agb/), Visa (https://www.visa.de/datenschutz), Mastercard (https://www.mastercard.de/de-de/datenschutz.html), American Express (https://www.americanexpress.com/de/content/privacy-policy-statement.html)

As part of the fulfillment of contracts, we use the payment service providers on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. GDPR. In addition, we use external payment service providers on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. GDPR to offer our users effective and secure payment options.

The data processed by the payment service providers includes inventory data such as name and address, bank details such as account numbers or credit card numbers, passwords, TANs and checksums as well as contract, amount and recipient-related information. The information is required to carry out the transactions. However, the data entered is only processed and stored by the payment service providers. This means that we do not receive any account or credit card-related information, only information confirming or rejecting the payment. The payment service providers may transmit the data to credit agencies. This transmission is for the purpose of checking identity and creditworthiness. For this purpose, we refer to the terms and conditions and data protection information of the payment service providers.

The terms and conditions and data protection information of the respective payment service providers apply to payment transactions, which can be accessed within the respective websites or transaction applications. We also refer to these for further information and to assert withdrawal, information and other data subject rights.

 

Administration, financial accounting, office organization, contact management

 

We process data as part of administrative tasks and the organization of our business, financial accounting and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In doing so, we process the same data that we process as part of the provision of our contractual services. The processing bases are Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c. GDPR, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. Customers, interested parties, business partners and website visitors are affected by the processing. The purpose of and our interest in the processing lies in administration, financial accounting, office organization, archiving of data, i.e. tasks that serve to maintain our business activities, perform our tasks and provide our services. The deletion of data with regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the information stated in these processing activities.

In doing so, we disclose or transmit data to the tax authorities, consultants such as tax consultants or auditors as well as other fee offices and payment service providers.

Furthermore, we store information on suppliers, organizers and other business partners on the basis of our business interests, e.g. for the purpose of later contact. We generally store this data, which is mostly company-related, permanently.

 

Business analyses and market research

 

In order to be able to run our business economically and to identify market trends and the wishes of contractual partners and users, we analyse the data we have on business transactions, contracts, inquiries, etc. We process inventory data, communication data, contractual data, payment data, usage data and metadata on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, whereby the persons concerned include contractual partners, interested parties, customers, visitors and users of our online offer.

The analyses are carried out for the purpose of business evaluations, marketing and market research. In doing so, we can take into account the profiles of registered users with information, e.g. on the services they have used. The analyses help us to increase user-friendliness, optimise our offer and make it more economical. The analyses are for our own use and are not disclosed externally, unless they are anonymous analyses with summarized values.

If these analyses or profiles are personal, they are deleted or anonymised when the user terminates their contract, otherwise after two years from the conclusion of the contract. Otherwise, the overall business analyses and general trend determinations are created anonymously wherever possible.

 

Registration function

 

Users can create a user account. During registration, the required mandatory information is communicated to users and processed on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b of GDPR for the purpose of providing the user account. The data processed includes in particular the login information (name, password and an email address). The data entered during registration is used for the purposes of using the user account and its purpose.

Users can be informed by email about information that is relevant to their user account, such as technical changes. If users have canceled their user account, their data with regard to the user account will be deleted, subject to a statutory retention period. It is the responsibility of users to back up their data before the end of the contract if the contract is canceled. We are entitled to irretrievably delete all user data stored during the term of the contract.

When using our registration and login functions and using the user account, we save the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The data is stored on the basis of our legitimate interests, as well as the user's interests in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. This data is generally not passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter c of GDPR. The IP addresses are anonymized or deleted after 7 days at the latest.

 

Contact us

 

When you contact us (e.g. via contact form, email, telephone or via social media), the user's details are processed to process the contact request and its handling in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b) GDPR. Users' details can be stored in a customer relationship management system ("CRM system") or comparable inquiry organization.

We delete the inquiries if they are no longer required. We check the necessity every two years; statutory archiving obligations also apply.

 

Hosting and email sending

 

The hosting services we use serve to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, email sending, security services and technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating this online offering.

In doing so, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, interested parties and visitors to this online offering on the basis of our legitimate interests in the efficient and secure provision of this online offering in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR (conclusion of a data processing agreement).

We, or our hosting provider, collect data on every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files) on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f. GDPR. The access data includes the name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.

Log file information is stored for a maximum of 7 days for security reasons (e.g. to investigate misuse or fraud) and then deleted. Data that needs to be retained for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.

 

Google Analytics

 

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC ("Google"). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offering by users is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law ( https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active ).

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offering by users, to compile reports on activities within this online offering and to provide us with other services relating to the use of this online offering and Internet usage. Pseudonymous user profiles of users may be created from the processed data.

We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the user's IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

The IP address transmitted by the user's browser is not merged with other Google data. Users can prevent cookies from being saved by setting their browser software accordingly; users can also prevent Google from collecting data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the website and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de .

For more information about Google's use of data, settings and objection options, see Google's privacy policy ( https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads ) and the settings for the display of advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated ).

Users' personal data is deleted or anonymized after 14 months.

 

Online presence in social media

 

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to be able to communicate with customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services. When you access the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of their respective operators apply.

Unless otherwise stated in our data protection declaration, we process the data of users if they communicate with us within the social networks and platforms, e.g. by writing posts on our online presences or sending us messages.

 

Integration of third-party services and content

 

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use content or service offers from third parties in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter referred to uniformly as "content").

This always requires that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, since without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browser. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. We endeavor to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. Third-party providers can also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. The "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information about the use of our online offer, as well as be linked to such information from other sources.
