7) Use of user data for direct advertising

7.1 Sign up for our electronic email newsletter

If the user decides to subscribe to our electronic newsletter, he/she will receive regular information about our offers. The only mandatory data for purposes related to sending the newsletter is the user's e-mail address. The inclusion of other data is optional and serves only to personalize the communication. For sending the newsletter we use the so-called Double Opt-in procedure. This means that the user will receive the electronic newsletter only after he has expressly confirmed his consent to its sending. He or she will therefore receive a counter-verification e-mail in which he or she will be asked to confirm that he or she wishes to receive the newsletter in the future by validating his or her subscription by clicking on a special link.

By clicking on the confirmation link, you give your consent to the use of your personal data in accordance with Article 6 c. 1 let. a of the RGPD. By subscribing to the newsletter, our company stores the user's IP address registered by the Internet Service Provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration; all for the purpose of future traceability in case of misuse of the user's e-mail address. The data collected at the time of subscribing to the newsletter are used exclusively for advertising messages within the newsletter. The user may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking on the appropriate link in the newsletter itself or by sending a request to the person responsible above. Termination of the newsletter service also implies the immediate deletion of the user's e-mail address from our newsletter manager's system, unless the user has expressly consented to further use of his or her data or our company has reserved further use of the data permitted by law, about which we hereby inform.

7.2 Klick-Tipp

We send our email newsletter via the following provider: KLICK-TIPP Limited, 15 Cambridge Court, 210 Shepherd's Bush Road, London W6 7NJ, United Kingdom

Based on our legitimate interest in effective and user-friendly marketing via newsletters, in accordance with Article 6, c. 1 (f) of the RGPD we pass on the data provided to us when subscribing to the newsletter to the contracted provider so that it can proceed to send the newsletter on our behalf.

Subject to your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6, c. 1, lett. a) of the RGPD, the provider also performs statistical evaluation of the success of the newsletter campaigns by means of web beacons or tracking pixels in the sent e-mails, which allow us to measure open rates and specific interactions with the newsletter content. User device information (e.g., access time, IP address, browser type, and operating system) is also collected and evaluated, but not associated with any other data.

You can revoke your consent to newsletter tracking at any time with effect for the future.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider that protects the data of visitors to our site and prohibits disclosure to third parties.

In the case of data transfer to the provider's premises, an adequate level of protection is guaranteed by an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

8) Processing of data for order management purposes

8.1 In the context of the payment procedure, where this is necessary for the purpose of the payment procedure, the user's payment data will be transmitted to the credit institution in charge. If we use payment service providers, this will be explicitly disclosed below. Legal basis for the transmission of data in this context is Art. 6 c. 1 let. b of the RGPD.

8.2 Use of payment service providers

- Paypal

One or more online payment methods of the following provider are available on this website: PayPal (Europe) S.a.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg

By choosing a payment method of the provider that requires upfront performance, payment data (including name, address, bank and payment card details, currency and transaction number) provided during the order process, as well as information about the content of the order will be transmitted to the provider in accordance with Article 6, c. 1, letter b) of the RGPD. The transmission of user data in this case takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing by the supplier and only if this is actually necessary for this purpose.

If you choose a payment method for which the supplier performs an advance service, during the order process you will be asked to provide certain personal data (first and last name, street name, house number, zip code, location, date of birth, e-mail address, telephone number, and, in some cases, data about an alternative payment method).

In order to safeguard our legitimate interest in ascertaining the creditworthiness of our customers, we transmit this data to the supplier in accordance with Article 6, c. 1 (f) of the RGPD for the purpose of solvency verification. On the basis of the personal data provided by the user and other data (such as shopping cart, invoiced amount, order history, previous payment information), the supplier verifies whether the payment option selected by the user can be granted in relation to payment and/or default risks.

9) Web analysis service

Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google") that enables the analysis of website usage.

In the event of a visit to this website, the so-called consent mode (Beta version) of Google Analytics 4 does not normally employ cookies (text files saved on the user's device that enable the analysis of website usage), except in cases where the user, following a specific request, gives express consent to the creation of cookies and the collection of data via them. Until consent is given, or if the user, following our specific request, expressly denies consent, Google Analytics 4 will not save or detect cookies even if the user continues to use the site. Instead, certain user behavior data will be collected and processed using so-called "pings."

The use of Google Analytics 4 normally involves the use of so-called "cookies". Cookies are text files stored on the user's device that enable analysis of the user's use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the website (including the user's IP address in abbreviated form transmitted by the respective device, see below) is normally transmitted, stored and processed at a Google server in the United States. Some data may also be transmitted to Google LLC servers in the United States, where further processing takes place.

In the event of a visit to our site, Google Analytics 4 automatically detects and processes the IP address of the user's device only in an anonymized form, which prevents the data collected from being traced back to the individual person to whom it relates. In European Union (EU) member states or other European Economic Area (EEA) states, automatic anonymization is done by Google's prior truncation of the last digits of the IP address transmitted by the device.

Google uses on our behalf this and other information to analyze your use of the website, to prepare reports on website activity, i.e. user behavior, and to provide us with further services related to website and internet usage. In the context of Google Analytics 4, the IP address transmitted from the user's device and truncated is not associated with other data held by Google. The data collected in the context of Google Analytics 4 are stored for 2 months and then deleted.

Through a dedicated function, Google Analytics 4 allows for the detection of so-called "demographic characteristics" and also for the preparation of statistics related to the age, gender and interests of those who visit the site, making use of interest-based advertising analysis and making use of information obtained from third-party providers. This makes it possible to define and differentiate groups of site users for the purpose of appropriately targeting marketing measures to target groups. However, the datasets collected through "demographic characteristics" do not allow the data to be traced back to the individual person. Data collected through "demographic characteristics" are stored for two months and then deleted.

The information collected by so-called pings related to the use of the website (including the user's IP address in abbreviated form transmitted by the respective device, see below) is usually transmitted, stored and processed at a Google server in the United States. Data transmission may also take place to Google LLC's servers based in the United States, where further data processing takes place. If the user gives express consent to the saving of cookies, this also applies to the data collected via said cookies relating to the user's use of the site.

The treatments described above, including the transfer of data via "pings" and the creation of Google Analytics cookies aimed at saving and collecting information about the device used by the user to enjoy the site, take place, pursuant to Art. 6 c. 1 lett. a of the RGPD, only against the express consent of the user. In the absence of the user's consent, the analysis of the use of the site will be deactivated. The user has the right to revoke the consent given with future effect at any time. In order to exercise the right of revocation, the user can deactivate the service using the appropriate cookie consent tool available on the site.

On this website, the "Google Signals" service can also be used as an extension of Google Analytics. With Google Signals, Google can create reports on multiple devices (so-called "cross-device tracking"). If you have activated "personalized ads" in your Google account settings and connected your Internet-enabled devices to your Google account, Google can analyze user behavior across devices and create database models based on this, provided that you have given your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Article 6 c. 1 lett. a of the RGPD (see above). The logins and device types of all visitors to the page who have logged into a Google account and made a conversion are taken into account. The data show, among other things, on which device the user first clicked on an ad and on which device they made the relevant conversion. To the extent that Google Signals is used, we do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics compiled on the basis of Google Signals. You have the option to turn off the "personalized ads" feature in your Google account settings, thus disabling cross-device analytics.

To do so, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=it

More information is available here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=it

As an extension of Google Analytics, you can also use the "UserIDs" feature on this site. By assigning individual UserIDs, Google can create reports on multiple devices (so-called "cross-device tracking"). This means that your usage behavior can also be analyzed across devices, if you have given your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Article 6 c. 1 lit. a of the RGPD, if you have created a personal account by registering on this website, and if you have logged in to your personal account on several end devices with the corresponding login data. The data thus collected show, among other things, on which end device you first clicked on an ad and on which end device the relevant conversion took place.

A data processing agreement has been concluded with Google for the use of Google Analytics 4, which obliges the company to protect the personal data of visitors to our site and prohibits their forwarding to third parties.

In order to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection even in the case of data transmission from the EU or EEA countries to the United States and in the case of further data processing in the United States itself, Google relies on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses, which are the subject of a separate contract with Google.

For further legal guidance regarding Google Analytics 4 and to obtain copies of those standard contractual clauses, please see the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=it

10) Retargeting / Remarketing / Advertising on Recommendation

Facebook Pixel for the provision of Custom Audiences (with cookie consent tool) (Note: The Facebook Pixel has been deactivated and is no longer used).

As part of our online offering we use the feature called the "Facebook Pixel" of the social platform Facebook operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").

When a user clicks on one of our advertisements on Facebook, the Facebook Pixel attaches an add-on to the URL of the associated page. If our page allows data sharing with Facebook, said URL parameter is embedded in the user's browser via a cookie created by our associated page. The cookie is detected by the Facebook Pixel allowing data to be forwarded to Facebook.

The Pixel allows Facebook to identify visitors to our online offering as a target group for running ads (called "Facebook Ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook Pixel to serve Facebook Ads only to users who show interest in our online offerings or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g., interest in certain topics or products, identified through the pages they visit), which we transmit to Facebook (called "Custom Audiences"). Through the Facebook Pixel, we are also able to ensure that our Facebook ads match users' interests and are not harassing. This allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for the purpose of statistics and market research by detecting whether users after clicking on a Facebook ad were redirected to our website (a process called "conversion").

The data collected is anonymous, so it does not allow us to trace the identity of the user. However, Facebook saves and processes the data, thus enabling association with the respective user profile; Facebook may therefore use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Data Use Directive (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data enable Facebook and its partners to serve advertisements both on and outside the Facebook platform.

Data processing associated with the use of the Facebook Pixel is carried out only with your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 1 lit. a GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, remove the check mark next to the "Facebook Pixel" setting in the "Cookie Consent Tool" integrated into the website.

12) Miscellaneous

Cookie Consent Tool

In order to obtain user consent to cookies and cookie-based applications that require it, this website employs a special cookie consent tool. Said tool appears to users when they open the site in the form of an interactive banner in which the user, by placing a check mark, gives consent to certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications. In this context of the tool's use, cookies/services that compulsorily require consent will be loaded only after the respective consents have been ticked by the user. This ensures that cookies are saved on the user's device only against the consent given.

Said tool installs cookies that are technically necessary to save the user's preferences. The user's personal data are not processed in this context.

If there are legal retention periods for data processed in the context of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b RGPD, these data will be routinely deleted after the expiration of the retention periods, insofar as they are no longer necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or the initiation of a contract and/or there is no further justified interest on our part to continue to retain them.

In the case of the processing of personal data on the basis of Art. 6 par. 1 lit. f RGPD, such data are retained until the data subject exercises his or her right to object under Art. 21 par. 1 RGPD, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal rights.

In the case of processing personal data for direct marketing purposes on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, such data are retained until the data subject exercises his or her right to object under Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this statement about specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
