P R I V A C Y P O L I C Y

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high importance to the management of the following publisher of this website: Design94. The use of the Design94 website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services offered by 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 regulations applicable to Design94. 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, this Privacy Policy informs data subjects about the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller, Design94 has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may generally have security vulnerabilities, meaning that 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 Design94 is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our Privacy Policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would first like to explain the terminology used.

In this Privacy Policy, we use, among others, the following terms:

1) Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “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 specific characteristics expressing the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

2) Data subject

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

3) Processing

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

4) Restriction of processing

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

5) Profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

6) Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation 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 organisational measures ensuring that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

7) Controller or controller responsible for the processing

Controller or controller responsible for the processing means 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 nomination may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States.

8) Processor

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

9) Recipient

Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which the personal data is disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, public authorities that 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.

10) Third party

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

11) Consent

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

2. Name and address of the controller

The 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:

Publisher: Design94
Address: Auf der Glate 13, 57489 Drolshagen
Tel.: +49 2763 214 39 58
Email: info@design94.co
Website: www.design94.co

3. Cookies

The Design94 website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Numerous websites 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 websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers containing different cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified using the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Design94 can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the use of cookies.

By means of cookies, the information and offers on our website can be optimised for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login details each time they visit the website because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie used for a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart by means of a cookie.

In addition, we use cookies on our website that enable an analysis of users’ browsing behaviour.

The following data may be transmitted in this way:

Use of website functions

The user data collected in this way is pseudonymised by means of technical measures. Therefore, it is no longer possible to assign the data to the user accessing the website. The data is not stored together with any other personal data of the users.

When accessing our website, users are informed about the use of cookies for analytical purposes and their consent to the processing of personal data used in this context is obtained. In this context, reference is also made to this Privacy Policy.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analytical purposes, where the user has given their consent, is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting in the internet browser used and may thereby permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all commonly used 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 available.

4. Collection of general data and information

The Design94 website collects a range of general data and information whenever 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) the 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 subpages 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 used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Design94 does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. Design94 therefore evaluates this anonymously collected data and information statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company in order to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

In addition, where the express permission of the users concerned has been obtained and in compliance with applicable data protection regulations, the following personal data is also collected:

First and last names of users

Email addresses of users

Information regarding place of residence (postal code, etc.)

Address, telephone number, date of birth, bank details

The processing of personal data is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in fulfilling our contractually agreed services and optimising our online offering.

You may also visit this website without providing any information about yourself. However, in order to improve our online offering, we store your access data to this website without any personal reference. This access data includes, for example, the file requested by you or the name of your internet provider. Due to the anonymisation of the data, it is not possible to draw conclusions about your identity.

5. SSL encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use encryption methods that comply with the current state of technology (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

6. Subscription to our newsletter

On the Design94 website, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the controller when subscribing to the newsletter is determined by the input form used for this purpose.

Design94 regularly informs its customers and business partners about company offers by means of a newsletter. As a general rule, the newsletter of our company may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent using the double opt-in procedure to the email address entered by the data subject for the first time for newsletter delivery. This confirmation email serves to verify whether the owner of the email address, as the data subject, has authorised receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) to the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to trace any possible misuse of a data subject’s email address at a later date and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the controller.

The personal data collected as part of a newsletter registration is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as may be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offering or changes in technical circumstances. Personal data collected as part of the newsletter service is not passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be cancelled by the data subject at any time. Consent to the storage of personal data provided to us by the data subject for newsletter delivery may be withdrawn at any time. For the purpose of withdrawing consent, each newsletter contains an appropriate link. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the controller’s website or to notify the controller of this by other means.

Parts of our newsletter may contain advertising material.

7. Newsletter tracking

The newsletters of Design94 contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format in order to enable log-file recording and log-file analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Design94 can determine whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links contained in the email were accessed by the data subject.

Personal data collected through the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters is stored and analysed by the controller in order to optimise newsletter delivery and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to withdraw the separate declaration of consent given through the double opt-in procedure in this regard. Following withdrawal, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. Design94 automatically interprets unsubscribing from receipt of the newsletter as a withdrawal of consent.

8. Registration on our website

The data subject has the option of registering on the controller’s website by providing personal data. The personal data 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 the controller’s own purposes. The controller may arrange for this data to be passed on to one or more processors, for example a parcel delivery service provider, which also uses the personal data exclusively for internal purposes attributable to the controller.

By registering on the controller’s website, the IP address assigned by the data subject’s internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration, are also stored. This data is stored on the basis that only in this way can misuse of our services be prevented and, where necessary, this data makes it possible to investigate criminal offences that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the controller. As a general rule, this data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to disclose it or the disclosure serves the purposes of criminal prosecution.

The voluntary registration of the data subject by providing personal data enables the controller to offer the data subject content or services that, due to their nature, 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 controller’s database.

The controller shall provide any data subject, upon request and at any time, with information as to which personal data relating to the data subject is stored. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or upon notification of the data subject, provided that no statutory retention obligations prevent this. All employees of the controller are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

9. Contact option via the website

Due to legal requirements, the Design94 website contains information that enables rapid electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, including a general electronic mail address (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 voluntarily transmitted by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purposes of processing the request or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

10. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data relating to the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or insofar as this is provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with statutory provisions.

11. Rights of the data subject

1) Right to confirmation

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether or not personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

2) Right of access

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

  • the purposes of the processing

  • the categories of personal data being processed

  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been disclosed or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations

  • where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period

  • the existence of a right to request rectification or erasure of personal data concerning them 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 is not collected from the data subject: any available information as to its 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 envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

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

3) Right to rectification

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right 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, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

4) 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 to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.

  • The data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing is based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR and 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 unlawfully processed.

  • The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation under 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.

Where one of the above-mentioned grounds applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Design94, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Design94 will arrange for the erasure request to be complied with without undue delay. Where the personal data has been made public by Design94 and our company, as controller, is obliged pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, Design94 shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable measures, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data, insofar as the processing is not required. The employee of Design94 will arrange the necessary measures on a case-by-case basis.

5) Right to restriction of processing

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following conditions 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 and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of its use instead.

The controller no longer requires the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise or defence 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.

Where one of the above conditions applies and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Design94, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Design94 will arrange for the processing to be restricted.

6) Right to data portability

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which the data subject has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom 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, when exercising their 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 provided that doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of Design94 at any time.

7) Right to object

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. Design94 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 defence of legal claims. Where Design94 processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purposes of such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Design94 processing personal data for direct marketing purposes, Design94 will no longer process the personal data for these purposes. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them by Design94 for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest. In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any employee of Design94 or another employee. Furthermore, in connection with the use of information society services and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject is free to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

8) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorised 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 performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Design94 shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, which shall include at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view and to contest the decision. If the data subject wishes to exercise rights relating to automated decision-making, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

9) 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 to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

12. Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (hereinafter: Google). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymisation on these websites, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide further services relating to website use and internet use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

The purposes of the data processing are the evaluation of the use of the website and the compilation of reports on website activity. Based on the use of the website and the internet, further related services are then to be provided. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Browser Add-On for deactivating Google Analytics.

Additionally or alternatively to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking this link. An opt-out cookie will then be installed on your device. This will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data for this website and this browser in the future for as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

13. Use of libraries (web fonts)

In order to display our content correctly and in a visually appealing manner across different browsers, we use libraries and font libraries such as Google Webfonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/) on this website. Google Webfonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid repeated loading. If the browser does not support Google Webfonts or prevents access, content will be displayed using a standard font.

Accessing libraries or font libraries automatically establishes a connection to the operator of the library. In theory, it is possible — although it is currently unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes — that operators of such libraries collect data.

You can find the privacy policy of the library operator Google here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

14. Social media plug-ins

Social plugins from the providers listed below are used on our websites. You can recognise the plugins by the fact that they are marked with the corresponding logo.

Through these plugins, information that may also include personal data may be sent to the service provider and potentially used by the service provider. We prevent the unintentional and unwanted collection and transmission of data to the service provider through a 2-click solution. In order to activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking the corresponding switch. Only by activating the plugin will the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider also be initiated. We ourselves do not collect any personal data through the social plugins or through their use.

We have no influence over which data an activated plugin collects or how this data is used by the provider. At present, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the provider’s services is established and that at least the IP address and device-related information are collected and used. It is also possible that the service providers attempt to store cookies on the computer being used. Please refer to the respective service provider’s privacy information to find out which specific data is collected and how it is used. Note: If you are logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook may identify you as a visitor to a particular page.

We have integrated social media buttons from the following companies on our website:

Instagram (www.instagram.com), Youtube (www.youtube.com), Facebook (www.facbook.de), Twitter (www.twitter.de)

15. Payment methods

1) PayPal: The controller has integrated components of PayPal into this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal also provides the option of making virtual payments by credit card if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed using an email address, which is why there is no conventional account number. PayPal enables online payments to be made to third parties as well as payments to be received. PayPal also performs escrow functions and provides 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 relating to the data subject is automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transmission 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 telephone number or other data required for payment processing. Personal data relating to the respective order is also necessary for processing the purchase contract.

The purpose of transmitting the data is payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transmit personal data to PayPal in particular where there is a legitimate interest in such transmission. Personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller may, under certain circumstances, be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. The purpose of such transmission is identity and creditworthiness checks.

PayPal may disclose personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors where this is necessary to fulfil contractual obligations or where the data is to be processed on behalf of PayPal.

The data subject has the option of withdrawing consent to the handling of personal data by PayPal at any time. Withdrawal does not affect personal data that must necessarily be processed, used or transmitted for contractual payment processing.

The applicable data protection provisions of PayPal can be accessed at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

2) Klarna: The controller has integrated components of Klarna into this website. Klarna is an online payment service provider that enables purchases on account or flexible instalment payments. Klarna also offers additional services, such as buyer protection or identity and creditworthiness checks.

The operating company of Klarna is Klarna AB, Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden.

If the data subject selects either “purchase on account” or “instalment purchase” as the payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, data relating to the data subject is automatically transmitted to Klarna. By selecting one of these payment options, the data subject consents to the transmission of personal data required for processing the purchase on account or instalment purchase or for identity and creditworthiness checks.

The personal data transmitted to Klarna generally includes first name, last name, address, date of birth, gender, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile telephone number as well as other data required for processing a purchase on account or instalment purchase. Personal data relating to the respective order is also required for processing the purchase contract. In particular, there may be a mutual exchange of payment information such as bank details, card number, expiry date and CVC code, number of items, item number, data relating to goods and services, prices and tax charges, information about previous purchasing behaviour or other information relating to the data subject’s financial situation.

The purpose of transmitting the data is, in particular, identity verification, payment administration and fraud prevention. The controller will transmit personal data to Klarna in particular where there is a legitimate interest in such transmission. Personal data exchanged between Klarna and the controller is transmitted by Klarna to credit agencies. The purpose of such transmission is identity and creditworthiness checks.

Klarna also passes personal data on to affiliated companies (Klarna Group) and service providers or subcontractors where this is necessary to fulfil contractual obligations or where the data is to be processed on behalf of Klarna.

For the purpose of deciding whether to establish, carry out or terminate a contractual relationship, Klarna collects and uses data and information about the data subject’s previous payment behaviour as well as probability values regarding their future behaviour (so-called scoring). The scoring calculation is carried out on the basis of scientifically recognised mathematical and statistical methods.

The data subject has the option of withdrawing consent to the handling of personal data by Klarna at any time. Withdrawal does not affect personal data that must necessarily be processed, used or transmitted for contractual payment processing.

The applicable data protection provisions of Klarna can be accessed at https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/policy/data/de_de/data_protection.pdf.

3) Sofortüberweisung: The controller has integrated components of Sofortüberweisung into this website. Sofortüberweisung is a payment service that enables cashless payment for products and services on the internet. Sofortüberweisung provides a technical process through which the online retailer receives immediate payment confirmation. This enables a retailer to deliver goods, services or downloads to the customer immediately after the order has been placed.

The operating company of Sofortüberweisung is SOFORT GmbH, Fußbergstraße 1, 82131 Gauting, Germany.
