Newsletter shipping provider

With the newsletter we want to inform you about us and our offer.

If you wish to receive the newsletter, we need a valid email address as well as an information that enables us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address or rather the possibility to verify that the owner agrees to receive the newsletter. Further data will not be collected. These data will be used only for sending the newsletter and will not be forwarded to any third party.

After registration you will receive an email in which you will be asked to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with another email address. The subscription to the newsletter will be logged in order to proof the subscription process according to legal requirements. This includes the storage of the subscription and confirmation time as well as the IP address. Likewise, any amendments to the data stored with your shipping provider are logged.

Double-Opt-In and logging: the subscription to our newsletter takes place via a so-called double-opt-in procedure.

The revocation can be carried out via a link in the newsletter, in your profile area or via a notification, send to the above provided contact address.

(https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG&status=Active).

Newsletter – performance measurement

The newsletters contain a so-called “web-beacon”, that means a pixel-sized file which is retrieved from our server or rather in case we use a shipping provider, from his server when opening the newsletter. In the framework of this request first technical data such as any information about the browser and your system as well as your IP-address and the access time will be collected.

This information is used to technically improve our services by means of technical data or improve the service for our target groups and their reading behaviour by receiving information on their places of access (which can be determined by means of the IP address) or by determining their access times. The statistical data include also the verification whether the newsletter was opened or not, when it was opened, and which links were opened. This information can be assigned to the single newsletter recipients. However, it is not our goal nor the goal of the shipping provider, if there is any, to control single users. The evaluation is used primarily to identify the reading behaviour of our users and to adapt our contents to it or send different contents according to the interests of our users.

Integration of services and contents from third parties

It may be the case that in these online offers contents of third parties such as for example YouTube videos, map data from google maps, RSS-feeds or graphics from other websites will be included. This always assumes that the providers of these contents (hereinafter referred to as “third party provider”) will be aware of the IP address of the user. Because without the IP address they would not be able to send the contents to the browser of the corresponding user. The IP address is hence necessary to display these contents. We aim at using only those contents whose corresponding provider uses the IP address only to deliver the contents. However, we have no influence over whether the third-party providers save the IP address for example for statistical purposes. As far as we know, we inform our users about it.

Cookies

Cookies are small files which render it possible to save specific information referred to the device on the access device of the User (PC, smartphone or similar). On one hand the improve the user-friendliness of websites and thus offer a benefit for the users (for example the storage of login data). On the other hand, they are used to collect statistical data of the website usage and analyse them in order to improve the offer. The users can influence the use of cookies. Most browsers dispose of an option with which the storage of cookies can be restricted or completely prevented. However, we point out that the use and in particular the user comfort is restricted without cookies.

Order processing in the online shop and client account

We process the data of our clients in the framework of the order procedure in our online shop to allow them the selection and ordering of the selected products and services as well as their payment and shipment or execution.

The processed data include inventory data, communication data, contractual data, payment data and the persons concerned are our clients, interested persons and other business partners. The processing takes place for the purpose of the fulfilment of the contractual services within the operation of an online shop, the settlement, delivery and customer service. For this purpose, we place session cookies for the storage of the content of the shopping cart and permanent cookies for the storage of the login status.

The processing takes place on the basis of art. 6 clause 1 lit. b (realization of ordering processes) and c (legally required storage) of the GDPR. In doing so the details marked as necessary for the justification and fulfilment of the contract are required.  We disclose the information vis-á-vis third parties only in the framework of the delivery, payment or in the framework of legal permissions and obligations vis-á-vis legal consultants and authorities. The data will be processed in third countries only if this is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract (for example following a customer request upon delivery or payment).

Users can create a user account where they can display all their orders. In the framework of the registration the necessary compulsory details are communicated to the users. The user accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. If users cancelled their user account, their data concerning the user account will be cancelled unless their storage is required for commercial and fiscal reasons according to art. 6 clause 1 lit c of the GDPR. Details in the clients account remain there up to their cancellation with the subsequent storage in case of a legal obligation. It is up to the users to store their data upon cancellation before the end of the contractual relationship.

In the framework of the subscription and new registration as well as use of our online services, we save the IP address and the time of the respective user intervention. The storage takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests as well as the user protection against misuse and other unauthorized usages. The transfer of data to third parties does normally not take place, except if required to track our claims or if there is any legal obligation according to art. 6 clause 1 lit c of the GDPR.

The cancellation takes place at the end of legal and comparable guarantees. The necessity of data storage will be verified every three years. In the event of legal storage obligations, the cancellation takes place after their expiry.

Retrieval of profile pictures from Gravatar

We use the service Gravatar of Automattic Inc. 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA in the framework of our online offer and in particular in our blog.

Gravatar is a service where users register and store their profile pictures and their email addresses. If users leave comments or articles on their online presences with their respective email addresses (especially in blogs), their profile pictures can thus be displayed next to the articles or comments. For this reason, the email address communicated by the users is transmitted in an encrypted form to Gravatar in order to verify if there is a stored email address for this profile. This is the only reason to transmit the email address and it is not used for other reasons but cancelled immediately afterwards.

The use of Gravatar takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests in line with art. 6 clause 1 lit. f) of the GDPR since with Gravatar we offer users the possibility to personalize their articles and comments with a profile picture.

By showing the picture Gravatar detects the IP address of the users since this is necessary for the communication between the browser and an online service. More information concerning the collection and use of data by Gravatar can be found in the privacy statement of Automattic: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

If users do not want that their picture linked to their email address at Gravatar will be displayed in the comments, they should use an email address to write comments which is not saved at Gravatar. We also point out that it is possible to use an anonymous or no email address at all, if the users do not want that their personal email address is transmitted to Gravatar. Users can completely prevent the transmission of data by not using our comment function.

Data protection information in the application procedure

We process application data only for the purpose and in the framework of application procedures in line with the legal requirements. The processing of application data takes place for the fulfilment of our (pre)contractual obligations in the framework of the application procedure in line with art. 6 clause 1 lit. b. of the GDPR if the data processing is necessary for us for example in the framework of legal procedures.

The application procedure implies that applicants communicate the application details to us. The necessary details of applicants are normally marked in the online form and alternatively result from the description of the position and basically comprise all personal details such as person, post and contact addresses and the documents which form part of the application such as cover letter, CV and certificates. Beside that the applicants can also communicate us additional information if they want.

With the transmission of the application the applicants agree to the processing of their data for the purposes of the application procedure according to the type and extent indicated in this data protection declaration.

If in the framework of the application procedure voluntarily specific categories of personal data are communicated in line with art. 9 clause 1 of the GDPR, its processing takes place additionally according to art.9 clause 2 lit. b of the GDPR (for example health data, such as severe disability or ethnical origin). If in the framework of the application procedure specific categories of personal data are requested from applicants in line with art. 9 clause 1 of the GDPR, their processing takes place additionally according to art. 9 clause 2 lit a of the GDPR (for example health data if these are necessary for the execution of the profession).

Applicants may send us their applications via email. When doing so, however, we ask you to consider that emails will basically not be sent in an encoded form and the applicants must ensure the encryption personally. Hence, we cannot assume any responsibility for the transfer of the application from the sender to the reception on our server and thus advice you to use the postal delivery. Because instead of sending the application via email, the applicants still have the possibility to send the applications via post.

The data made available by applicants, can be further processed by us in case of a successful application for the purpose of the employment relationship. Otherwise, if the application referring to a determined position is not successful the data of the applicant will be deleted. The data of the applicant will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn by the applicant as the person is entitled to at any point in time.

The cancellation takes place, subject to a legitimate revocation by the applicant at the end of the period of six months so to be able to answer to possible further questions regarding the application and to satisfy our burden of proof from the General Equal Treatment Act. Invoices on possible travel cost compensations will be stored according to the fiscal requirements.

Comments and articles

If users write comments or other articles, their IP-address can be saved for 7 days on the basis of our legitimate interests in line with art. 6 clause 1 lit. f. of the GDPR. This is done to protect ourselves if someone writes illegal contents in comments or articles (offenses, forbidden political propaganda etc.). In this case we can be prosecuted personally for such comments or articles and are hence interested in the identity of the writer.

Furthermore, we reserve the right to process the details of the users for spam detection on the basis of our legitimate interests according to art. 6 clause 1 lit f. of the GDPR

The data indicated within the scope of comments and articles will be saved by us permanently until the objection by the user.

Google Analytics

The plugins can be identified via the facebook logos (white “f” on a blue background, the terms “Like” or the thumbs-up signs) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugins”. The list and the look of the Facebook Social Plugins is represented here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

If a user of a website views this offer which contains such a plugin his browser creates a direct connection to the Facebook server. The content of the Plugin will be directly transferred to your browser by Facebook and from there embedded into the website. Thus, the provider has no influence on the extent of the data which Facebook collects with the help of these plugins and thus informs the user according to the personal state of knowledge:

Through the embedment of Plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user viewed the respective page of a particular offer. If the user is logged in on Facebook, Facebook can assign this visit to the respective Facebook account. If a user interacts with the Plugins, for example by clicking the “Like”- Button or entering a comment, the respective information is directly transmitted from your browser to Facebook and saved there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, however, Facebook has the possibility to find out the IP address and to save it. According to Facebook in Germany only anonymized IP addresses are saved.

The purpose and extent of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as respective rights and possible settings to protect the privacy of the user, can be found in the privacy statement provided by Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

Further settings and objections concerning the use of data for marketing purposes can be made via the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.

+1 button of Google+

CL: uses the “+1”-button of the social network Google Plus operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”). The button carries the sign “+1” and can be identified by its white or coloured background.

If a user views a website of this offer which contains such a button, the browser establishes a direct connection with the server of Google. The content of the “+1” button will be transmitted directly to its browser by Google and from there embedded into the website. The website provider hence, does not have any influence on the extent of the data which are collected by Google through this button.
