3 Purposes of data processing, legal bases and legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party, and categories of recipients

3.1 Accessing our websites/applications

3.1.1 Log-Files

Each time you access websites/applications, information is sent to our website/application server by your end device’s web browser and is temporarily stored in ‘log files’. The stored data records contain the following data, which is stored until automatic erasure: date and time of access, name of the page accessed, IP address of the requesting device, referrer URL (URL from which you came to our website), amount of data transferred, loading time, product and version information of the browser used as well as the name of your access provider.

The legal basis for processing the IP address is Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest is based on

ensuring a smooth connection is established;
ensuring the convenient use of our website/application;
evaluating system security and stability; and
Fraud prevention (see 3.2.2)

This data does not provide any direct indication of your identity and we do not make any assumptions in this regard.

The data will be stored and automatically erased once the aforementioned purposes have been achieved. The standard periods for erasure depend on the criterion of necessity.

3.2. Establishment, execution and/or termination of a contract

3.2.1 Data processing on contract conclusion

If you register with one of our websites/applications and conclude a contract with us, we process the data required for the conclusion, execution or termination of a contract with you. This includes:

First name, surname
E-mail address

The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR, i.e. you provide us with the data on the basis of the respective contractual relationship (e.g. management of your customer account, processing of a purchase agreement) between you and us. In order to process your e-mail address in the event of a purchase via our websites/applications, we are also obliged to send an electronic order confirmation (Article 6 [1] [c] of the GDPR) on the basis of legal requirements in the German Civil Code (Bundesgesetzbuch, BGB).

If we do not use your data for advertising purposes (see 3.3. below), we store the data collected for contract processing until the statutory or possibly contractual warranty and guarantee rights expire. After this period, we shall retain the information concerning the contractual relationship required under commercial and tax law for the periods specified by law. For this period, the data will only be processed again in the event of verification by tax authorities.

3.2.2 Use of data for fraud prevention purposes

The data you provide when placing an order can be used to check whether an atypical order process has occurred (e.g. artificially generated traffic for our shop partners). We fundamentally have a legitimate interest in carrying out such a check. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR.

3.2.3 Categories of recipients

3.2.3.1 Processor

We use contract processors to process your data. A processor is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the person responsible for data processing.

3.2.3.2 Other third party partners

In addition, we use other third-party partners who are necessary for the provision of services and the achievement of various purposes. We transmit personal data to these third party partners if this is necessary in the context of the provision of services (for example to affiliate networks for pure billing purposes).

The legal basis for this data transfer is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b), f) GDPR.

3.3 Data processing for advertising purposes

3.3.1 Newsletter

Only when you click on this confirmation link will your e-mail address be added to our newsletter mailing list. The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR.

Reference to the right of withdrawal

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future using the unsubscribe option at the end of each newsletter.
