  • Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract, e.g., if you purchase a product. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services.
  • Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR, insofar as we are subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations.

We use session cookies and permanent cookies on our web sites. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f.) GDPR and in the interest of optimizing or enabling user guidance and adapting the presentation of our platform. You can set your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies.

Disclosure of personal data to third parties

 

Your personal data will only be passed on if there is a legal obligation to do so or to service providers and partner companies that have been carefully selected in advance and are contractually obliged to comply with the requirements of data protection law.

  1. a) Disclosure within affiliated companies pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR

We pass on your personal data for the conclusion and processing of contracts for offers on our website to affiliated companies. This is particularly necessary so that you can use all our offers. If you contact a store or our customer hotline with questions, complaints or returns as well as other complaints, they will also receive access to your order data in order to be able to process your request.

For the operation and optimization of our website and our services and for the processing of contracts, various service companies work for us, e.g., for central IT services or the hosting of our website, for the delivery of services or for the dispatch of newsletters, to whom we pass on the data required for the fulfilment of the task (e.g., name, address).

Some of these companies act for us by way of commissioned processing and may therefore use the data provided exclusively in accordance with our instructions.

Data transfer to third countries

 

As a service provider based in Israel, we take additional measures to ensure an adequate level of data protection for the transfer of personal data in accordance with Art. 44 of the GDPR and thus ensure that the transfer is generally permissible and that the special requirements for a transfer to a third country including India and the USA are met (e.g., by concluding EU standard contracts and additional guarantees, supplementary technical and organizational measures such as encryption or anonymization).

 

General technical organizational measures

 

We have taken a variety of security measures to protect personal information to an appropriate extent and adequately. All information held by us is protected by physical, technical, and procedural measures that limit access to the information to specifically authorized persons in accordance with our Privacy Policy and this Statement.

Our website is behind a software firewall to prevent access from other networks connected to the Internet. In addition, only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. These employees are trained in security and privacy practices and treat your information confidentially.

The transmission of your personal information during an order transaction in the online shop is encrypted using industry standard Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) technology, (SSL encryption version 3).

 

Analysis and targeting tools

 

Google Analytics

 

Our web site uses Google Analytics to design and improve the web site according to your needs. Google Analytics uses so-called cookies, which are stored on your terminal device, and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We use the extension of IP anonymization (so-called IP masking) on this website, i.e., your IP address is shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of 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 for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Google’s services also include reports on the effectiveness of our advertising measures (including across devices), on the demographics and interests of our users, as well as functions for the cross-device delivery of online advertising if you are the owner of a Google account and have consented to the personalization of advertising (“Ads Personalization”). In this case, the legal basis for data processing is your consent to Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR).

You can object to the collection or analysis of your data by Google Analytics by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g., user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 14 months.

Campaign Manager (Formerly Doubleclick by Google)

 

This web site continues to use Google’s online marketing tool Campaign Manager. Campaign Manager uses cookies to serve ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are shown in which browser and can thus prevent them from being shown more than once. In addition, Campaign Manager can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a Campaign Manager ad and later calls up the advertiser’s website with the same browser and buys something there. According to Google, Campaign Manager cookies do not contain any personal information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google’s server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of Campaign Manager, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will store your IP address.

In addition, the Campaign Manager (DoubleClick Floodlight) cookies used allow us to understand whether you take certain actions on our website after you have accessed or clicked on one of our display/video ads on Google or on another platform via Campaign Manager (conversion tracking). Campaign Manager uses this cookie to understand the content you have interacted with on our websites in order to send you targeted advertising later.

You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways: a) by adjusting your browser software accordingly, in particular the suppression of third-party cookies will result in you not receiving any third-party ads; b) by deactivating conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com , https://www.google.com/settings/ads , in which case this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the self-regulatory campaign “About Ads” via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices , in which case this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; d) by permanently deactivating them in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin , e) by means of the corresponding cookies setting. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

In addition, you can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookies about your use of the websites and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at https://support.google.com/adsense under “Display settings”, “Extension for Campaign Manager deactivation”.

For more information on Campaign Manager, please visit https://www.google.de/doubleclick and on Google’s data protection in general: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Alternatively, you can visit the web site of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at http://www.networkadvertising.org.

Insofar as personal data is transferred to the USA, an adequate level of data protection is ensured by means of suitable guarantees. For this purpose, EU standard contractual clauses have been concluded with the provider. Copies of these can be obtained from the person responsible or directly from the European Union at the following link: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/?qid=1579074030126&uri=CELEX:02010D0087-20161217.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

 

Google Tag Manager

 

We use Google Tag Manager, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). This service allows website tags to be managed via an interface. The Google Tag Manager only implements tags. No cookies are set, and no personal data is collected. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags that may collect data. The Google Tag Manager does not access this data.

If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags, insofar as these are implemented with the Google Tag Manager. More information on the Google Tag Manager can be found at the following link: http://www.google.com/tagmanager/use-policy.html .

This service transmits data to the USA. The transmission takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You give your consent by selecting the appropriate option in the consent management tool, which is displayed when you access our site. You can view and adjust your data protection settings here at any time.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

 

Facebook Pixel, Facebook Custom Audiences and Facebook Conversion

 

Within our online offer, the so-called “Facebook Pixel” of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc.

With the help of the Facebook pixel, it is possible for Facebook, on the one hand, to determine you as a visitor to our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “Facebook ads”). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of users and do not have a harassing effect. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can further track the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “conversion”).

The processing of data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook’s data usage policy. Accordingly, general information on the display of Facebook ads, in the data use policy of Facebook. Specific information and details about the Facebook Pixel and how it works can be found in Facebook’s help section.

The use of the Facebook Pixel as well as the storage of “conversion cookies” is based on your consent.

 

Google reCAPTCHA

 

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” on our websites. The provider is Google Inc. The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether the data input on our websites is made by a human being or by an automated program, and reCAPTCHA also protects our users from SPAM when using the message function. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyses the behavior of the website visitor on the basis of various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, time spent by the website visitor on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place. We have a legitimate interest in protecting our offers from abusive automated spying and our users from SPAM.

 

Online presences in social media

 

We maintain online presences on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with customers, interested parties and users who are active there. Unless otherwise stated in this policy, we process the data of users if they communicate with us within the social networks and platforms, e.g., write articles on our online presences or send us messages.
