Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high importance to the management of Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH. The use of the Internet pages of Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject. The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH. By means of this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed by means of this privacy policy about the rights to which they are entitled. As the controller, Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

The privacy policy of Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH is based on the terminology used by the European legislator for directives and regulations when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance. In this privacy policy, we use, among others, the following terms:

a) personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who 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 or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) data subject

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

c) processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) restriction of processing

Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

e) profiling

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 analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.

f) pseudonymization

Pseudonymization means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) controller or controller responsible for the processing

Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States.

h) processor

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

i) recipient

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union law or the law of the Member States shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) third party

Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process the personal data.

k) consent

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which the data subject, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

2. Name and Address of the Controller

Controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is: Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH Kaiserstraße 80 76133 Karlsruhe Germany Tel.: +49 (0) 721 9668249 Email: info@crystalnailsbeauty.de Website: www.crystalnailsbeauty.de

3. Cookies

The Internet pages of Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser. Numerous Internet pages and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified again via the unique cookie ID. Through the use of cookies, Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without setting cookies. By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the interest of the user. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. The user of a website that uses cookies, for example, does not have to enter their access data again each time the website is visited because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie. The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and may thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of General Data and Information

The website of Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be collected: (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems. When using this general data and information, Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) correctly deliver the contents of our website, (2) optimize the contents of our website as well as the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. Therefore, Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH evaluates this anonymously collected data and information statistically and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Registration on Our Website

The data subject has the option to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input form used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the transfer to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, which also uses the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller. By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, as well as the date and time of registration, are also stored. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, this data makes it possible to investigate criminal offenses committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to safeguard the controller. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the transfer serves criminal prosecution. The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary provision of personal data, enables the controller to offer the data subject content or services that, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the data stock of the controller. The controller shall, at any time upon request, provide any data subject with information about which personal data concerning the data subject is stored. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that no statutory retention obligations prevent this. In this context, all employees of the controller are available to the data subject as contact persons.

6. Contact Possibility via the Website

The website of Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH contains information required by law that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

7. Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or insofar as this has been provided for by the European legislator for directives and regulations or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator for directives and regulations or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.

8. Rights of the Data Subject

a) Right to confirmation

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator for directives and regulations to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact an employee of the controller.

b) Right of access

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator for directives and regulations to obtain from the controller, at any time and free of charge, information about the personal data stored concerning him or her and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator for directives and regulations has granted the data subject access to the following information:

  • the purposes of the processing
  • the categories of personal data that are processed
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations
  • where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
  • the existence of the right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning him or her, or restriction of processing by the controller, or a right to object to such processing
  • the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
  • where the personal data are not collected from the data subject: any available information as to their source
  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. Where this is the case, the data subject shall also have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, he or she may, at any time, contact an employee of the controller.

c) Right to rectification

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator for directives and regulations to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have incomplete personal data completed — including by means of providing a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact an employee of the controller.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator for directives and regulations to obtain from the controller the erasure without undue delay of personal data concerning him or her, where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data has been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
  • The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing was based according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
  • The personal data has been processed unlawfully.
  • The erasure of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation in Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
  • The personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8(1) GDPR.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to arrange for the erasure of personal data stored by Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH, he or she may, at any time, contact an employee of the controller. An employee of Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately. Where the personal data has been made public by Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH and our company, as controller pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR, is obliged to erase the personal data, Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested from such other controllers the erasure of any links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data, insofar as processing is not required. The employee of Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

e) Right to restriction of processing

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator for directives and regulations to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

  • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
  • The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of the use of the personal data.
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
  • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH, he or she may, at any time, contact an employee of the controller. The employee of Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH will arrange the restriction of processing.

f) Right to data portability

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator for directives and regulations to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided by the data subject to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data was provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. Furthermore, in exercising the right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and insofar as this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may, at any time, contact an employee of Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH.

g) Right to object

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator for directives and regulations to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on those provisions. Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH shall no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. If Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH to the processing for direct marketing purposes, Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes. In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest. To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH or another employee directly. Furthermore, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject is free to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator for directives and regulations not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent. If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Crystal Nails Deutschland GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision. If the data subject wishes to assert rights relating to automated decisions, he or she may, at any time, contact an employee of the controller.

i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator for directives and regulations to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, he or she may, at any time, contact an employee of the controller.

9. Data Protection Provisions on the Use and Application of Facebook

The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network. A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that generally enables users to communicate with one another and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook enables users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests. The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller responsible for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. By each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical procedure, Facebook receives knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes with every call-up to our website by the data subject — and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website — which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the “Like” button, or if the data subject posts a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the time of calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of this information to Facebook is not desired by the data subject, the data subject may prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before calling up our website. The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. Furthermore, it explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications may be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

10. Data Protection Provisions on the Use and Application of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects, among other things, data on which website a data subject came from to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is predominantly used for the optimization of a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising. The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analytics via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our Internet pages takes place from a Member State of the European Union or from another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The purpose of the Google Analytics component is the analysis of visitor flows on our website. Google uses the obtained data and information, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website in order to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our Internet pages and to provide further services associated with the use of our website. Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. By each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical procedure, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements. By means of the cookie, personal information such as the access time, the location from which access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject are stored. With each visit to our Internet pages, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties. The data subject may, as already described above, prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and may thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs. Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website as well as the processing of this data by Google. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on available under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to Internet pages may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is regarded by Google as an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted or newly installed, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or by another person attributable to his or her sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail under this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

11. Data Protection Provisions on the Use and Application of YouTube

The controller has integrated components of YouTube on this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows video publishers to upload video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube permits the publication of all kinds of videos, which is why complete film and television programs, but also music videos, trailers and videos produced by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal. The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. By each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective YouTube component to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be retrieved under https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. As part of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google obtain knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. If the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes, when a subpage containing a YouTube video is called up, which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject. YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the time of calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks a YouTube video or not. If such a transmission of this information to YouTube and Google is not desired by the data subject, the data subject may prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her YouTube account before calling up our website. The data protection provisions published by YouTube, available at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

12. Payment Method: Data Protection Provisions Regarding PayPal as a Payment Method

The controller has integrated components of PayPal on this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. In addition, PayPal offers the possibility of processing virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not maintain a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an email address, which is why there is no traditional account number. PayPal makes it possible to trigger online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also assumes trustee functions and offers buyer protection services. The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg. If the data subject selects “PayPal” as the payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, data of the data subject is automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing. The personal data transmitted to PayPal generally includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number or other data required for payment processing. Personal data related to the respective order is also necessary for processing the purchase contract. The transmission of the data is intended for payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transmit personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller may be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. This transmission is intended for identity and creditworthiness checks. PayPal may pass on the personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors insofar as this is necessary to fulfill the contractual obligations or the data is to be processed on behalf of PayPal. The data subject has the option of revoking consent to the handling of personal data at any time vis-à-vis PayPal. A revocation does not affect personal data that must necessarily be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing. The applicable privacy policy of PayPal can be retrieved under https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

13. Payment Method: Data Protection Provisions Regarding Sofortüberweisung as a Payment Method

The controller has integrated components of Sofortüberweisung on this website. Sofortüberweisung is a payment service that enables cashless payment for products and services on the Internet. Sofortüberweisung maps a technical procedure by means of which the online retailer immediately receives a payment confirmation. This enables a retailer to deliver goods, services or downloads to the customer immediately after the order. The operating company of Sofortüberweisung is SOFORT GmbH, Fußbergstraße 1, 82131 Gauting, Germany. If the data subject selects “Sofortüberweisung” as the payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, data of the data subject is automatically transmitted to Sofortüberweisung. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transfer of personal data necessary for payment processing. In the course of purchase processing via Sofortüberweisung, the buyer transmits the PIN and TAN to Sofort GmbH. After technical verification of the account balance and retrieval of further data for checking account coverage, Sofortüberweisung then executes a transfer to the online retailer. The execution of the financial transaction is then automatically communicated to the online retailer. The personal data exchanged with Sofortüberweisung generally includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number or other data required for payment processing. The transmission of the data is intended for payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will also transmit other personal data to Sofortüberweisung if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between Sofortüberweisung and the controller may be transmitted by Sofortüberweisung to credit agencies. This transmission is intended for identity and creditworthiness checks. Sofortüberweisung may pass on the personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors insofar as this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or the data is to be processed on behalf of Sofortüberweisung. The data subject has the option of revoking consent to the handling of personal data at any time vis-à-vis Sofortüberweisung. A revocation does not affect personal data that must necessarily be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.

14. Legal Basis for the Processing

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would then have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

15. Legitimate Interests in the Processing Pursued by the Controller or by a Third Party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

16. Period for Which the Personal Data Will Be Stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract.

17. Statutory or Contractual Provisions Governing the Provision of Personal Data; Necessity for the

Conclusion of the Contract; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide the Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Failure to Provide Such Data
We hereby inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information about the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract could not be concluded with the data subject. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will clarify to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what consequences the failure to provide the personal data would have.

18. Existence of Automated Decision-Making

As a responsible company, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
