Open access to the
Website; restricted area

You can visit the public areas of our website at any time without disclosing or saving any personal data.

Certain areas such as the “Retailer area” are only intended for authorised persons and can only be accessed with appropriate personal login details. The logins are saved. As the usernames are linked to specific people, they are classed as personal data. However, extranet use is evaluated on a personal level only to identify accounts that are inactive for an extended period and to deactivate them for security reasons. The use of various areas of the extranet is also statistically evaluated, for example to identify training requirements.

As a team administrator, you are able to create and manage individual login details for your employees. In doing so, you provide us with the following data: name, department, telephone number, e-mail address. It is your responsibility to create a suitable legal basis for sharing your employees’ data with us (e.g. consent). If no such legal basis is confirmed, the data will be deleted after 14 days.

We use this data solely to send information about products and support services available from retail partners.

The legal basis for this processing is the performance of a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. We will store the personal data in line with legal retention periods and then delete it.

Newsletter

If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we will collect your name, your e-mail address and other information which enables us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and agree to receive the newsletter. Any further data is collected on an exclusively voluntary basis. We will use this data solely to send the requested information and will not share it with third parties.

The data entered in the newsletter registration form will be processed solely on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You can revoke your consent for the data and e-mail address to be stored and used to send the newsletter at any time, for example using the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The revocation shall not affect the lawfulness of the data processing activities that have already been performed.

The data that you provide us with in relation to the newsletter will be saved until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will subsequently be blocked. Upon expiration of the three-year statutory retention period (regular statutory limitation period), this data will be deleted. Data that we save for other purposes shall remain unaffected.  

We regularly send our newsletter to members of the retailer area using the e-mail address provided during registration. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest according to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. You can withdraw your agreement to receive our newsletter at any time, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs in accordance with the basic tariffs.

Newsletters are sent by CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Schafjückenweg 2, 26180 Rastede. CleverReach is a service that enables newsletters to be scheduled and analysed. Data used for the purposes of the newsletter (e.g. e-mail address) is saved on the CleverReach servers in Germany or Ireland. We have entered into a processing agreement with CleverReach.

Newsletters sent by CleverReach enable us to analyse the behaviour of the newsletter recipients. For example, we are able to analyse how many recipients have opened the newsletter and how often each link in the newsletter has been clicked on. Using conversion tracking, it is also possible to analyse whether a pre-defined action (e.g. purchasing a product on our website) has been carried out after clicking on the link. You can see further information on data analysis via the CleverReach newsletter at: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/funktionen/reporting-und-tracking/.   

If you do not wish your data to be analysed by CleverReach you have the right to object to receiving the newsletter. Every newsletter message contains a link to enable you to unsubscribe. 
The data that you provide us with in relation to the newsletter will be saved until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be subsequently deleted from our servers and the CleverReach servers. Data that we save for other purposes shall remain unaffected.   

You can find out more about the CleverReach data protection clauses at: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/

Collection, processing

To continuously improve the quality of the website, we store data about access to various pages, visit duration, click rates and other data that is usage-related but not necessarily technical. We perform statistical analyses of this information to make using our website more enjoyable for all users. The data is neither used to create a user profile nor shared with third parties.

This enables us to improve the way we address our customers and target our marketing activities more effectively. The legal basis for processing this data is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interests are constituted by the operation and optimisation of the website as well as our marketing measures.

Data categories, purpose and legal basis of the processing

For information on data processing by Facebook, please see its privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.

Please see below for further information about our data processing activities.

Statistical data

We are able to access various categories of statistical data using the Facebook “Insights” function. (https://www.facebook.com/business/a/page/page-insights)

These statistics are produced and made available by Facebook. As a user of the site, we have no influence on the production and presentation of such statistics. We cannot turn off this function or prevent the production and processing of data. For a selected time period and for the categories fans, subscribers, people reached and people engaged, Facebook provides us with the following data

related to our Facebook page:

total number of pages accessed; “Like” information; page activities; engagement with posts; reach; video views; post reach; comments; shared content; replies; breakdown by gender; location based on country and city; language; calls to action and clicks in the shop; clicks on route planners; clicks on telephone numbers. This approach also provides data on the Facebook groups linked to our Facebook page.

Due to the ongoing development of Facebook, the availability and processing of data is constantly changing. For further details you should therefore consult the aforementioned Facebook privacy policy.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to make the posts and activities on our Facebook page more attractive to users. For example, we use a breakdown by age and gender to adapt the way that we address users and the main times at which users visit the page to optimise the timing of our posts. Information on the type of end devices used by visitors helps us to adapt the visual design of our posts.

Engagement with our account

It is also possible for you to engage with our account. You can do this, for example, by liking, sharing or commenting on a post or by sending us a direct message.

When you engage with us we must, as a rule, process data as this enables us to see your account and therefore access your personal data such as your username, profile picture or the date and time of engagement. According to the Facebook Terms of Service, which every user agrees to when creating a Facebook profile, we can identify page subscribers and fans and see their profile and other information that they share.

This concerns data gathered for information purposes, which is only made available when you engage with our profile. The processing of personal data here is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

Data recipients

Please note that your data can be passed on to third parties by Facebook. We do not have any influence over this. For more detailed information on this, please see the Facebook privacy policy: www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation

Such a transfer shall take place on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR and in conjunction with the directive or legal obligation that we are subject to in the case in question. Categories of data recipients are: public entities in the event of a legal obligation; processors who process the data gathered online on our behalf; website hosts and designers; analysis service providers, etc.

Retention period and deletion

You can obtain information on data retention by Facebook from its privacy policy: www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.

We save all personal data that you transfer to us only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which the data was transferred or for the period set out by law. When the purpose has been fulfilled and/or the legal retention periods have ended, we delete or block the data.
