6. Using your data for the purpose of direct marketing
6.1 Newsletter registration
Description and purpose of data processing:
If you register to our newsletter, we will use the mandatory information or the information you provide for this separately in order to send you our email newsletter on a regular basis.
If within the scope of registering for the newsletter, its contents are rewritten specifically, this is the decisive factor for the consent of the user. Furthermore, our newsletter contains information about our services and us.
The registration for our newsletter is carried out using a so-called double opt-in process. This means you will receive an email after you register in which you will be asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with someone else’s email address. Registrations for the newsletter are recorded in order to be able to prove that the registration process was carried out in accordance with the legal requirements and to be able to clarify any potential misuse of your data if necessary. This includes saving information about the point in time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address. Changes to your data with the mailing service provider will also be recorded. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be restricted and automatically erased after 2 weeks.
To register for the newsletter, it is sufficient if you specify your email address. Optionally we kindly request you provide a name for the purpose of personally addressing you in the newsletter.
The newsletter contains a so-called “web beacon”; this means a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened or from our mailing provider’s server, if we use one. Technical information, such as information about your browser and your system as well as your IP address and time of retrieval, will be initially collected within the scope of this retrieval.
This information will be used for technical improvements of services that are undertaken with the aid of the technical data or target groups and your reading behaviour, or with the aid of their retrieval location (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or access times. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletter is opened, when it is opened, and which links are clicked on. While this information may be assigned to the newsletter recipients due to technical reasons, it is neither our intention nor our that of our mailing service provider, if one is used, to monitor individual users. The analyses are intended more for us to learn about the reading behaviour of our users and to tailor our contents to their preferences or to send different contents according to our user’s interests.
Your email address is used only for the purpose of providing this newsletter. The email address will not be disclosed to third parties for advertising purposes.
If you purchase goods from us, we will send you information e-mails for similar goods in the future. You can request to stop receiving such information e-mails from us at any time. To do so, click on the unsubscribe link in the information e-mail. You will not incur any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs.
Legal basis for data processing:
Sending the newsletter is done on the basis of your consent and in accordance with Art. 6, para 1, p.1, lttr a) & Art. 9, para 2, lttr a) GDPR. The recording of the registration process is undertaken on the basis of our legitimate interests and in accordance with Art. 6, para 1, p. 1, lttr f) GDPR. The analysis of users’ behaviour is undertaken pseudonymously on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6, para 1, p. 1, lttr f) GDPR. The mailing service provider is used on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6, para 1, p. 1, lttr f) GDPR and an order processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28, para 3, p.1 GDPR.
Recipients of the data:
The newsletter is sent by the mailing service provider on our behalf as part of processing and we will disclose your email address for this purpose. Sending the newsletter is carried out by the mailing service provider “Mail Chimp”, a newsletter mailing platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
This service provider is located in the USA and is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield framework. An up-to-date certificate can be seen here. Due to the agreement between the USA and the European Commission, the latter has determined that the company certified under Privacy Shield has an adequate level of data protection.
You can see the privacy policy of the mailing service provider here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/.
Duration of retention:
Cancelling the newsletter is possible at any time and can either be done by a message to the contact person listed below or by using the link contained in the newsletter. After cancellation, we will erase your email address if you have not expressly consented to the additional use of your data, or we have reserved the right to use this data in a manner that is legally permitted, and we will inform you of this in this notice. We can save the unsubscribed email addresses up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before we erase them for purposes of the newsletter mailing so that we can prove that consent had previously been given. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defence against claims. An individual request for erasure is possible at any time if the previous existence of consent is confirmed at the same time.
Additional information:
The mailing service provider can use the data of the recipient in pseudononymous form, i.e. without being assigned to a user, for optimising or improving their own services, e.g. for technical optimisation of the mailing and the presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes. However, the mailing provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them themselves or to disclose the information to a third party.
Objection and deletion option:
You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect and request the data be erased pursuant to Art. 17, para 1 GDPR (e.g. by clicking on the cancellation link, which is also included in every newsletter, or by sending your revocation notice by email or mail to the contact details in the legal notice). The data will no longer be allowed to be processed from the moment your revocation declaration has been received. The data will be erased immediately. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing before consent is revoked.
In accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, you can object to the analysis of users’ behaviour at any time by clicking on the cancellation link in the email or by informing us through other means.
You will find more information about the other rights you have and how you can exercise these rights at the end of this Privacy Notice.
6.2 Sending the email newsletter out to existing customers
If, when purchasing goods or services from us, you have provided us with your email address, we reserve the right to send you regular offers by email in respect of products and services in our range similar to those you have purchased in the past. Under § 7 (3) of the German Fair Trade Practices Act (UWG), we do not have to obtain your separate consent for this. In this case, data processing is based solely on our legitimate interest in personalized direct marketing under Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. If you did not initially consent to your email address being used for this purpose, we will not send out any such emails. You are entitled to revoke consent for continued use of your email address for the purpose previously stated at any time, by notifying the data controller as named above. The only cost to you will be the cost of sending the message, based on standard rates. Once we receive notice that you wish to revoke consent, the use of your email address for marketing purposes will cease immediately.
6.3 Email notification that a certain product is available
Where we offer the option of notifying you by email when certain items which were temporarily out of stock in our online shop become available again, you can sign up for our email notification service for stock availability. If you sign up for our stock availability email notification service, we will send you a one-off message by email that the relevant item you selected is available. You just need to provide us with your email address in order to receive notifications. Providing additional data is voluntary and is used in order to contact you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to send notifications. This means that we only send you the relevant notification if you have specifically confirmed that you agree to receive such notification. We then send out a confirmation email which asks you to click on the relevant link, in order to confirm that you would like to receive such notifications in future.
By activating the confirmation link, you are giving us your consent to use your personal data under Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR. When you register for the stock availability notification emails, we store the IP address specified by the internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time you registered, in order to be able to trace potential misuse of your email address at some later time. The data we collect when you register for our stock availability notification emails is used exclusively for the purpose of advising you about the availability of a certain item in our online shop. You can unsubscribe from the product availability email notification service at any time by sending an appropriate email to the data controller as named above. After unsubscribing, your email address will be deleted immediately from our mailing list set up for this purpose, except where you have expressly consented to your data being used subsequently, or except where we have reserved the right to use your data subsequently, as permitted in law, in which case we have notified you of this in this policy.
7. Comments and posts
When users leave comments or other posts, their IP addresses are saved on the basis of our legitimate interests as defined in Art. 6, para. 1, lttr. f) of the GDPR. This is done for our security in the event that someone leaves behind illegal contents in their comments and posts (insults, prohibited political propaganda, etc.). If this is the case, we can be sued or prosecuted for the comment or post, which is why we are interested in the identity of the author.
