Links

In case of direct or indirect links to third-party websites (”hyperlinks”) that are outside the author’s area of responsibility, the author will only be liable in case of illegal content if the author is aware of the content and it would have been technically possible and reasonable for them to prevent the use. The author expressly declares that at the time of creating the link no illegal content was identifiable on the pages linked to. The author has no influence on the current and future design, content, or authorship of the pages linked to. The author therefore expressly distances themselves from all content of all linked pages that are changed after creation of the link. This statement applies to all links placed within the author's own website as well as to third-party entries in guest books, discussion forums, and mailing lists set up by the author. The provider of the page linked to has sole responsibility for any illegal, incorrect, or incomplete content on that page, and in particular for damage arising from the use or non-use of such information. The person who merely provides a link to such content is not responsible for it.

The copyright for published material created by the author themselves remains solely with the author of the pages. Any duplication or use of such images, sounds files, video, or texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the author's express agreement.

In this case, the users’ IP addresses are deleted or modified so that they can no longer be assigned to a specific customer.

We will save the information provided during the telephone conversation to train our customer support staff as well as to ensure the quality of our call centre and generally delete it after three months at the latest, unless a longer retention period is stipulated by law or is necessary for documentation purposes. We can store the recording for up to three years for documentation purposes (e.g. entry into a purchase agreement). Your consent provides the legal basis (Art. 6(1) (a) GDPR) for recording and evaluating the conversation.

2.3. Registration

• Date of birth

The legal basis for the processing is provided by Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (b) GDPR.

We use the data you have provided exclusively to fulfil and process your orders. Your order data will be saved in your customer account and deleted after the retention period for tax and business records has expired, unless you have explicitly consented that your data can continue to be used.

2.4.1. Payment service providers

The option of selecting different payment service providers and common payment methods, such as payment in advance, payment by PayPal or by invoice, is available for settling the payment. Payment data such as billing addresses, IBAN, BIC and preferred payment methods can be sent to these service providers for this purpose. This furthermore includes data that is generated in direct connection with the payment settlement, such as data that external payment service providers use for identification purposes (e.g. given and family names, address, gender, e-mail address, IP address, telephone number, PayPal ID), device information (e.g. IP address, device type, operating system) or data that is required to prepare an invoice, such as the number of articles, article numbers, invoice amount and tax in percent. These service providers can also process data on your previous payment history as well as probability values on future behaviour. We also receive relevant information from the payment service providers about the payment for the purpose of reviewing payments, e.g. in order to release purchased goods. We also receive master data and financial information from the payment service providers as part of any identity check that may be prescribed by law.

If you have not granted us your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1) (a) GDPR, the legal basis for disclosing the data to the payment service providers in the course of processing the contract is provided by Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (b) GDPR, as the processing is necessary for the performance of the contract and the processing of the order.

Please see the data privacy notices of the relevant payment service providers for the legal bases of the data processing that they are independently responsible for performing.

The payment options and service providers may vary depending on the place from where the website was accessed.

We would like to point out that the most efficient way to make data protection enquires is to contact the relevant payment service provider, as only they have access to the data and can institute appropriate measures directly.

2.5. Newsletter

There is an option on our website to subscribe to our free and personalised newsletter, in which we regularly send you information especially tailored to you, news about our product innovations and developments, current special offers and campaigns, shopping cart reminders and opinion and customer satisfaction surveys. When you register for the newsletter, the data from the input screen will be sent to us and to delivery service providers that we have engaged. Generally, you have to input only your e-mail address. Other information such as your given and family names and your gender might be requested as optional information in order to give you the possibility of receiving a personalised newsletter.

We use the double opt-in procedure for the subscription to our newsletter, i.e. we will send you newsletters by e-mail only if you have confirmed that you are the holder of the indicated e-mail address by clicking a link in our e-mail notification. If you confirm your e-mail address, we store it, the time of your subscription and the IP address used to subscribe until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. The data is stored solely for the purpose of sending you the newsletter and being able to verify your subscription. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. The newsletter includes an appropriate cancellation link. A notification sent to the contact details indicated above or in the newsletter (e.g. by e-mail or letter) is of course also sufficient for this purpose.

The legal basis for the processing is provided by your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR. The registration procedure is recorded here on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1) (f) GDPR for purposes of documenting that the procedure has been conducted properly.

The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter.

In order to ascertain when our e-mails are opened and how they are used, we use standard market technologies provided to us by our delivery service providers to record and analyse the interactions with the newsletter and the access data that is generated (e.g. opening rate or click rate). Our e-mails also include web beacons for this purpose. These are small image files that are downloaded from our website and allow us to establish when an e-mail is opened by you. Moreover, we learn what links contained in the e-mails you click on. We use this access data to constantly improve our offer, our contents and customer communication as well as for statistical purposes. Furthermore, we use the information to better understand what contents and products you are interested in so that we can show you contents that are as relevant to you as possible in the future.

In the course of your registration to receive our advertising mails, we additionally obtain your consent for us to personalise our e-mails in line with your interests and needs on the basis of the data stored about you on multiple devices, such as your access data, any account information and your shopping behaviour (orders, returns, ordering processes not completed).

If you do not want your usage behaviour to be analysed, you can unsubscribe from the newsletter or configure your e-mail program to disable graphics as the default setting.

The legal basis for this is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR.

The access data (opening and click data) is collected and stored exclusively in anonymised form.

Other data that is collected in the context of the newsletter independently of the opening and click data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. The user’s e-mail address is accordingly stored in principle as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active. If you unsubscribe from e-mail notifications, we regard this as revocation of your consent to create your personalised user profile and to receive e-mails based on this profile. Your personalised user profile will be deleted by us immediately. The e-mail addresses, including the log data, are removed and blocked. The temporary block serves our legitimate interest in being able to prove that consent had originally been granted (Art. 6(1) f) GDPR). We delete the e-mail address from the e-mail distribution list after six months have elapsed.

Separate revocation concerning the analysis of your access data that is described above is not possible. However, you have the option of configuring the mail program you use in such a way that e-mails are shown in text form and not in HTML. This causes image and graphic files to be blocked so that tracking is no longer possible. The newsletter will not be shown to you in full in this case, however, and you may possibly not be able to use all the functions. Separate revocation concerning the creation of a personalised user profile is also not possible. If you do not want us to create a personalised user profile for you, you have the option at any time to withdraw your consent to receiving personalised e-mail advertising as described above.

In this connection we use the GetResponse service of GetResponse Sp.z o.o., ul. ARKONSKA 6/A3, 80-387 GDANSK, Poland (“GetResponse”).

We have entered into a contract data processing agreement and, for the event that personal data is transferred to third countries such as the US, EU standard contractual clauses with GetResponse. Your consent to the tracking issued through the cookie banner also expressly extends to the transmission of data to GetResponse (Art. 49(1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR). Please see section 6 (“Transferring data to third countries”) for the risks involved.

Please see GetResponse’s privacy policy for more information on the protection of your data.

2.6. Advertising for existing customers by e-mail

If you have made a purchase from us, we also use your contact data to e-mail you other information on our products that is relevant to you (“advertising for existing customers”). This can include new products, campaigns and offers as well as feedback and other surveys.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6(1) (f) GDPR in conjunction with section 7(3) of the Gesetz gegen den unlauteren Wettbewerb (UWG – German Act against Unfair Competition), according to which the data processing is permitted to protect legitimate interests in so far as this concerns the storage and other use of the data for advertising purposes. You can object to the use of your data for advertising purposes at any time by clicking on a corresponding link in the e-mails or by sending a message to the contact details indicated above (e.g. by e-mail or post) without incurring costs other than the transmission costs at the basic rates.

2.7. Contact from Autodoc by telephone

If you have granted us your consent and registered your telephone number in your customer account, we may call you to conduct customer satisfaction surveys, to suggest special offers and campaigns to you and to inform you about products as well as for statistical purposes. If you grant us your consent at the beginning of the call, we will subsequently record the conversation. We will save the information provided during the telephone conversation to train our customer support staff as well as to ensure the quality of our call centre and generally delete it after three months at the latest, unless a longer retention period is stipulated by law or is necessary for documentation purposes. We can store the recording for up to three years for documentation purposes (e.g. entry into a purchase agreement). Your consent provides the legal basis (Art. 6(1) (a) GDPR) for recording and evaluating the conversation.

2.8. Surveys and competitions

If you take part in one of our surveys, we use your data for market and opinion research. We evaluate the data in principle in anonymous form for internal purposes. If in exceptional cases surveys are not anonymous when they are evaluated, the data will be collected and processed exclusively with your consent (Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR).

During competitions, we use your data for the purpose of conducting the competition and to notify you if you win a prize. More detailed information can be found in the terms and conditions of participation for the respective competition. The legal basis for the processing is provided by Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (b) GDPR.

3. USE OF COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

We use cookies and similar technologies (“tools”) on this website that are offered either by us or by third parties.

Cookies are small text files that can be stored on your device by your browser. Cookies are not used to execute programs or to load viruses to your computer. Similar technologies include web storage (local / session storage), fingerprinting, tags and pixel in particular. Some cookies are kept on your computer for a specific period and allow us to recognise your computer again when you next visit our website (persistent cookies). Our partners are not permitted to collect, process or use personal data using cookies on our website.

Most browsers accept cookies and similar technologies as the default setting. However, you can generally adjust your browser settings so that cookies or similar technologies are rejected or stored only after being given prior consent. You can also allow or prohibit individual temporary and saved cookies independently of each other in the security settings. If you disable cookies, certain functions of our website may not be available to you, some web pages may not be correctly displayed and not all of our offers may function smoothly for you. For example, temporary cookies must be allowed in order to use our shopping cart. The data stored in our cookies is not linked to your personal data (name, address, etc.). We will not link the data stored in our cookies linked to your personal data (name, address, etc.) without your explicit consent.

You can delete any stored cookies at any time yourself by selecting the relevant menu item in your Internet browser or erasing the cookies on your hard drive. You can find the details on this on your Internet browser’s help menu. Session cookies are deleted again once you have left the website and are used here only in order to assist you in navigating the website and accessing content as well as to capture statistics.

The tools that we use are listed and ordered by category below, where we inform you in particular of the provider of the tool and the disclosure of the data to third parties. We also explain in what cases we obtain your voluntary consent to use the tools and how you can withdraw this consent.

Should the information in the cookie banner contradict the information in this privacy policy – also even when the greatest care has been taken – the information in this privacy policy shall prevail.

3.1. Legal basis and revocation

3.1.1. Legal basis

We use tools that are necessary to operate the website on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1(f) GDPR in order to allow you a more convenient and more personalised use of our website and to design this use in a way that saves as much time as possible. In certain cases, these tools can also be necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract or to perform a contract; the processing is then carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1(b) GDPR.

We use all other tools, especially tools for marketing purposes, based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1(a) GDPR as well as pursuant to section 15(3) sentence 1 of the Telemediengesetz (TMG – German Telemedia Act) if user profiles are created for advertising or market research purposes. Data processing using these tools takes place only if we have received your consent for this in advance.

If personal data is transferred to third countries, please refer to section 6 (“Transferring data to third countries”), also with regard to any risks that may be involved. We inform you if we have entered into standard contractual clauses or other guarantees with the providers of certain tools. If you have given your consent to the use of certain tools, we transfer the data processed when these tools are used to third countries (also) on the basis of this consent.

3.1.2. Obtaining your consent

We use a consent management tool to obtain and manage your consent. This generates a banner, which informs you of the data processing on our website and gives you the option of consenting to all, individual or no data processing using optional tools. This banner appears when you visit our website for the first time and when you view your settings selection again in order to change these settings or to withdraw your consent. The banner also appears each time you visit our website again if you have disabled the storage of cookies.

If you grant your consent, each consent or revocation, your IP address, information about your browser, and your device at the time you visit our website are transmitted to us in the course of your visit to the website. Moreover, we use our own necessary cookie in order to store any consent and revocations you have issued. If you delete cookies, we will ask you for your consent again when you view pages later.

The data processing is necessary in order to provide you with the legally required consent management and to meet our documentation obligations. The legal basis for using the consent management tool is provided by Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR based on our interest in fulfilling the legal requirements for cookie consent management.

3.1.3. Withdrawing your consent or changing your selection

You can withdraw your consent for specific tools at any time. To do this, click on the following link. You can also change the selection of the tools for which you would like to give your consent for their use as well as obtain additional information about the cookies and the respective storage period here. Alternatively, you can withdraw your consent for specific tools by contacting the service provider directly.

Our website uses various types of cookies and similar technologies which each have a specific function. We use and manage some cookies directly, while other cookies are used and managed by third parties in accordance with their own privacy policies. Please find an overview below:

3.2. Necessary tools

We use certain tools in order to enable the basic functions of our website and the display of contents on a smartphone (“necessary tools”). Without these tools, we would not be able to provide our service. Necessary tools are therefore used without consent on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR or to take steps prior to entering into a contract or to perform a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1(b) GDPR.

3.2.1. Own cookies

We use our own necessary cookies in particular

• to authenticate log-ins,
• to distribute the load,
• to save your language settings,
• to note that you have been shown information placed on our website – so that this is not shown again when you next visit the website.



 
•  

These cookies are essential for enabling the website to function smoothly and identify the language and country from which you have accessed the website, for example. If you are a registered visitor, cookies enable you to be recognised and to access services in the relevant sections.

3.2.2. Google Tag Manager

Our website uses Google Tag Manager, a service that is offered to users from the European Economic Area and Switzerland by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, and to all other users by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (jointly “Google”).

Tag Manager is used to administer tracking tools and other services, which are known as website tags. A tag is an element that is filed in the source text of our website in order for example to record defined usage data. Google Tag Manager ensures that the usage data required by our partners is sent to them.

We use Facebook Pixel in order to analyse the general use of our websites and to track the effectiveness of Facebook advertising (“conversion tracking”). Moreover, we use Facebook Pixel in order to show you individualised advertising messages based on your interest for our products (“retargeting”). Target group remarketing using Custom Audience is also carried out in this process.

“Facebook Pixel” has been integrated on our website for this purpose. A direct connection between your browser and the Facebook service is created through this tracking pixel. The tracking is carried out using a cookie that is filed on your computer and that records the following information, such as HTTP header information (including IP address, information on the web browser, page storage location, document, URL of the website and user agent as well as date and time of use), and pixel-specific data (this comprises the pixel ID and Facebook cookie data, including your Facebook ID – which are used in order to link events with a specific Facebook advertising account and assign them to a Facebook user).

Using the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able in this connection on the one hand to define the visitors to our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (“Facebook ads”). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to show the Facebook ads that we display only to the Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in specific issues or products, which are determined using the websites visited), which we transmit to Facebook (“Custom Audiences”). We also want to ensure by using the Facebook pixel that our Facebook ads match the user’s potential interest. Using the Facebook pixel, we can furthermore track the effectiveness of the Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users have been directed to our website after clicking on a Facebook advertisement (known as “conversion”). The data that is collected is anonymous to use as the operator of this website and we cannot draw any conclusions about the identify of the users. The data is stored and processed by Facebook, however, meaning that a connection to the relevant user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook’s data policy. This allows Facebook to show advertisements on its own websites and also outside Facebook. The use of this data cannot be influenced by use as the website operator.

The data generated in this connection can be transferred to and stored on a server in the US by Facebook for evaluation. We have entered into standard contractual clauses with Facebook for the event that personal data is transferred to the US. The legal basis for the processing is provided by your consent pursuant to Art. 49(1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR. Please see section 6 (“Transferring data to third countries”) for the risks involved.

If you are a member of Facebook and have allowed Facebook to do so in your account’s privacy settings, Facebook can additionally link the information collected about your visit to our website with your membership account and use it for the targeted presentation of Facebook Ads. You can view and change the privacy settings of your Facebook profile at any time.
