Order processing in the online shop, customer accounts
We process our customers’ data during the placement of orders in our online shop in order to enable them to select, order, pay for and arrange the shipping/performance of the selected products and services.
The data processed includes basic data, communication data, contractual data and payment data. The data subjects include our customers, interested parties and other business partners. Processing facilitates the performance of contractual services within the context of the operation of an online shop, invoicing, shipping and customer service. It involves the storage of session cookies (used to store the contents of the customer’s shopping basket) and permanent cookies (used to store the customer’s login status).
Processing is justified under the terms of GDPR Art. 6(1) lit. b (order processing) and GDPR Art. 6(1) lit. c (archiving in accordance with legal obligations). The entries marked as “required” are essential to the conclusion and performance of the contract. We only disclose data to third parties within the context of shipping, payment and compliance with statutory rights and obligations towards legal advisors and public authorities. Data is only processed in third countries if this is essential to the performance of the contract (e.g. as a result of customer requests regarding shipping and payment).
Users have the option to set up a user account which enables them to view their orders among other functions. Users are informed which entries are a prerequisite for registration. User accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. If a user cancels their user account the data included therein is deleted insofar as it is not necessary for such data to be stored for business or tax-related reasons under the terms of GDPR Art. 6(1) c. Data remains in the user’s account until such time as the account is deleted, after which it may be archived where necessary as a result of legal obligations. In the event of account cancellation it is up to the user to secure their data prior to the end of the contract.
The time at which the user is active and the IP address of their device is stored when they register on, log into or use our website. The data is stored on the grounds of our legitimate interests and as a means of protecting the user against misuse and other unauthorised use. As a basic principle the data is not disclosed unless it is required for the enforcement of our claims or we are legally obliged to do so under the terms of GDPR Art. 6(1).
Deletion occurs upon the expiry of statutory archiving periods and comparable obligations. The extent to which data storage continues to be necessary is checked every three years. Data to which statutory archiving obligations apply is deleted upon the expiry of the respective period (6 years in the case of commercial archiving obligations, 10 years in the case of tax-related archiving obligations). Data remains in the user’s account until such time as the account is deleted.
Payment service provider</2>
Within the scope of contractual and other legal relationships, due to legal obligations or otherwise based on our legitimate interests, we offer the persons concerned efficient and secure payment options and use other payment service providers in addition to banks and credit institutions (collectively „payment service providers“).
The data processed by the payment service providers include inventory data, such as name and address, bank data, such as account or credit card numbers, passwords, TANs and checksums, as well as contract, sum and recipient related data. These details are required to carry out the transactions. However, the data entered is only processed by the payment service providers and stored by them. This means that we do not receive any account or credit card-related information, but only information with confirmation or negative information about the payment. Under certain circumstances, the payment service providers may transfer the data to credit agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to check identity and creditworthiness. In this regard we refer to the General Terms and Conditions and the data protection information of the payment service providers.
For payment transactions, the terms and conditions and the data protection information of the respective payment service providers apply, which can be accessed within the respective websites or transaction applications. We also refer to these for further information and the assertion of rights of revocation, information and other rights of affected persons.
Data types processed: Inventory data (e.g. names, addresses), payment data (e.g. bank details, invoices, payment history), contract data (e.g. subject matter of contract, duration, customer category), usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses)
Persons concerned: Customers, prospects.
The purposes of the processing: Provision of contractual services and customer service.
Legal bases: Fulfilment of contract and pre-contractual enquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b. GDPR), legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f. GDPR)
