What are personal data?

The term "personal data" is defined in the Federal Data Protection Act and the EU GDPR. According to this, it refers to individual details about the personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your legal name, address, telephone number, or date of birth.

Scope of anonymous data collection and processing

Unless otherwise stated in the following sections, no personal data is collected, processed, or used when you use our websites. However, through the use of analysis and tracking tools, we learn certain technical information based on the data transmitted by your browser (e.g., browser type/version, operating system used, websites visited on our site, including the length of time you spend there, and previously visited websites). We evaluate this information solely for statistical purposes.

Relevant legal bases for the processing of personal data

If we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
For the processing of personal data necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary to implement pre-contractual measures.
To the extent that processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

Creation of log files

Each time the website is accessed, Sterntaler GmbH collects data and information using an automated system. This data is stored in the server's log files.The data is also stored in our system's log files. This data is not stored together with other personal user data.
The following data may be collected:

(1) Information about the browser type and version used
(2) The user’s operating system
(3) The user’s Internet service provider
(4) The user’s IP address
(5) Date and time of access
(6) Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website (referrer)
(7) Websites accessed by the user’s system via our website

Duration of storage of personal data

Personal data will be stored for the duration of the respective statutory retention period. After this period, the data will be routinely deleted unless necessary for the initiation or fulfillment of a contract.

Ways to contact us

The Sterntaler GmbH website has a contact form that can be used to contact us electronically. Alternatively, contact can be made via the email address provided. If the data subject contacts the controller via one of these channels, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be automatically saved. The storage serves solely for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. The data will not be passed on to third parties. If the user has given their consent, the legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The legal basis for processing data transmitted when sending an email is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If the email contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data from the contact form input mask and those sent via email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved.

Newsletter

If you subscribe to our company's newsletter, the data in the respective input mask will be transmitted to the person responsible for processing. Registration for our newsletter is carried out using a so-called double opt-in process. This means that after registration you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary to ensure that no one can register using unknown email addresses. When you register for the newsletter, the user's IP address as well as the date and time of registration are saved. This serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address of the data subject. The data will not be passed on to unauthorized third parties. However, data required for the purpose of sending the newsletter may be transmitted to corresponding service providers. An exception to this applies if there is a legal obligation to pass on the data. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter. The data subject can cancel the newsletter subscription at any time. Likewise, consent to the storage of personal data can be revoked at any time. For this purpose, a corresponding link can be found in every newsletter.The legal basis for processing data after the user has registered for the newsletter, provided the user has given their consent, is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is Section 7 (3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG).

Registration in the online shop

If the data subject uses the option to register in the online shop by providing personal data, the data in the respective input mask will be transmitted to the controller. The data will be stored exclusively for internal use by the controller. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. During registration, the user's IP address and the date and time of registration are stored. This serves to prevent misuse of the services. The data will not be passed on to third parties. An exception applies if there is a legal obligation to pass on the data. The registration of the data is necessary for the provision of content or services. Registered persons have the option of having the stored data deleted or changed at any time. The data subject can obtain information about their stored personal data at any time.

Transfer of data when using online payment service providers

If you decide to pay with one of the online payment service providers we offer as part of your order, your contact details will be transmitted to them as part of the order thus triggered. The legality of the transfer of data arises from Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, to carry out the payment method you have chosen and our legitimate interests according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to enable user-friendly and uncomplicated payment processing.

Depending on the selected payment method, e.g., invoice or direct debit, the personal data transmitted to the provider will be transmitted by the provider to credit reporting agencies. This transmission serves to verify your identity and creditworthiness in relation to the order you have placed.

Rights of the data subject

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

Right to information pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR

You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us. If such processing is taking place, you can request the following information from the controller:

the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
the categories of personal data being processed;
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your personal data have been or will be disclosed;
the planned duration for which your personal data will be stored or, if specific information is not available, the criteria for determining that duration;
the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of your personal data, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;
the existence of a right of complaint to a supervisory authority;
all available information as to their source, where the personal data are not collected from the data subject;
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.

You have the right to request information about whether your personal data will be transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you can request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR

You have the right to request that the controller rectify and/or complete your personal data if it is incorrect or incomplete. The controller must rectify the data immediately.

Right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR

(1) You may request the controller to delete your personal data immediately, and the controller is obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

The erasure of personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data concerning you were collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 (1) GDPR.

(2) If the controller has made your personal data public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR, the controller shall take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform data controllers which process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure by such controllers of all links to these personal data or of copies or replications of these personal data.

(3) The right to erasure does not apply if processing is necessary

to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
to fulfill a legal obligation required by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2) (h) and (i) and Art. 9 (3) GDPR;
for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in paragraph 1 is likely to make the achievement of the objectives of that processing impossible or seriously compromises it, or
to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

if you contest the accuracy of your personal data for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you need them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or
if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.

If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obligated to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you was disclosed of this rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, unless doing so proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed by the controller of these recipients.

Right to data portability according to Art. 20 GDPR

You have the right to receive your personal data that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit these data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that

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 using automated procedures. In exercising this right, you also have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This must not adversely affect the freedoms and rights of others. The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data based on Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR for reasons related to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The controller will no longer process your personal data unless they can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Art.77 GDPR

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint was lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 77 GDPR.

Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling

You have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2) (a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests have been taken.

With regard to the cases referred to in points a. and c., the controller shall take appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

Data transfer to third countries

The controller may transfer personal data to a third country. In principle, the controller can ensure an adequate level of protection for processing operations through various appropriate safeguards. Data transfers may be based on an adequacy decision, internal data protection rules, approved codes of conduct, standard data protection clauses, or an approved certification mechanism pursuant to Art. 46 (2) (a)–(f) GDPR.

If the controller carries out a transfer to a third country on the legal basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR, you will be informed here about the possible risks of data transfer to a third country.

There is a risk that the third country receiving your personal data may not offer an equivalent level of protection compared to the protection of personal data in the European Union. This may be the case, for example, if the EU Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for the respective third country or if certain agreements between the European Union and the respective third country are declared invalid. Specifically, in some third countries, there are risks regarding the effective protection of EU fundamental rights due to the use of surveillance laws (for example, the USA).In such a case, it is the responsibility of the controller and the recipient to assess whether the rights of the data subjects in the third country enjoy an equivalent level of protection as in the Union and can also be effectively enforced.

However, the General Data Protection Regulation should not undermine the level of protection of natural persons ensured throughout the Union when personal data are transferred from the Union to controllers, processors or other recipients in third countries or to international organisations, including where personal data are further transferred from a third country or from an international organisation to controllers or processors in the same or another third country or to the same or another international organisation.

Meta pixel

Description and purpose

To recognize your user behavior, we use the so-called meta pixel from Meta Platforms Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. This is an analysis tool that can be used to measure the effectiveness of advertising. It is a code snippet for the website that can be used to measure, optimize, and build advertising campaign target groups. With conversion measurement, we can track across devices (including mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers) which actions people take after seeing our Facebook ads. By creating a meta pixel and adding it to our pages where conversions occur (e.g. the purchase confirmation page), we can determine which people convert as a result of our Facebook ads. The pixel further monitors the actions people take after clicking on our ads. Here we can determine on which device our customers saw the ad and on which devices they ultimately made the conversion. According to Facebook, the data collected includes:

HTTP header
HTTP headers contain a series of information sent over a standard web protocol between any browser request and any server on the Internet. HTTP headers contain information such as IP addresses (which in Germany are only interpretable at the general country level), information about the web browser, page location, document, URI reference, and the web browser's user agent.
Pixel-specific data
This includes the pixel ID and Facebook cookie data, which is used to link events to a specific Facebook advertising account and attribute them to a person known to Facebook.
Optional values
Developers and marketers can optionally send additional information about the visit via standard and custom data events. Typical custom data events include information about whether a purchase was made on a page, the conversion value, and much more. You can find more information about custom data events here. With your consent, we use the “visitor action pixel” from Meta Platforms Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA or, if you are based in the EU, Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, on our website. This conversion tool allows us to track your actions after you have seen or clicked on a Facebook ad. This is used to monitor and analyze the effectiveness of our Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. Although we can only recognize this data in anonymized form, this data is also stored and processed by Facebook. We do not know exactly what Facebook does with this data, but it can be assumed that Facebook can and will link this data to your Facebook account. Facebook can use this information for the purposes of advertising, market research and to tailor Facebook pages to meet your needs. For this purpose, Facebook and its partners create usage, interest and relationship profiles, e.g. to evaluate your use of our website with regard to the advertisements displayed to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website and to provide other services associated with the use of Facebook. Cookies may also be stored on your PC for this purpose. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in Facebook's privacy policy. The data may be merged with other Facebook services, such as Custom Audiences.

Advanced comparison

Advertisers can optionally enable the meta pixel's enhanced matching feature by sending encrypted information, such as an email address or phone number, to Facebook. Advertisers can send one or more of the following identifiers for matching: email address, phone number, first name, last name, city, state, ZIP code, date of birth, or gender.

Legal basis

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

Furthermore, we are aware of our responsibility and, where necessary, take further measures to ensure the protection of personal data to protect the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

Duration of data storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.In addition, the data will be deleted if you assert your right to erasure within the meaning of Art. 17 (1) GDPR.

Revocation

You have the right to revoke your consent at any time, see Art. 7 (3) (s) 1 GDPR. This can be done informally and without giving reasons, and will take effect for the future. Revoking your consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out up to the time of revocation. Further information on this can be found above in our privacy policy under "Rights of the data subjects."

Contractual and legal obligation

There is no contractual or legal obligation to provide the data.

Google Analytics

Description and purpose

This website uses the “Google Analytics” service, provided by Google LLC, to analyze how users use the website. This service uses “cookies,” which are text files placed on your device. The information collected by cookies is generally sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google Analytics may be extended on this website to include the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).

Google Ads and Conversion Tracking

Description and purpose

In order to draw attention to our current projects and developments, planned activities and services, we place Google AdWords advertisements and use Google Conversion Tracking as part of this. Google AdWords (Google Ads) is a service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). These advertisements are displayed after search queries on websites of the Google advertising network. We have the option of combining our advertisements with certain search terms. We also use AdWords remarketing lists for search advertisements. This enables us to tailor search ad campaigns for users who have already visited our website. Through these services, we have the option of combining our advertisements with certain search terms or of displaying advertisements for previous visitors that, for example, promote services that visitors have viewed on our website. For interest-based offers, an analysis of online user behavior is necessary. Google uses cookies to carry out this analysis. When you click on an advert or visit our website, Google places a cookie on the user's computer. This information is used to specifically target the visitor for a subsequent search query. Further information on the cookie technology used can also be found in Google's information on website statistics and in the privacy policy. With the help of this technology, Google and we as the customer receive information that a user has clicked on an advert and was redirected to our website in order to contact us via the contact form. Likewise, with the help of Google forwarding numbers, Google and we as the customer receive information that a user has clicked on one of our telephone numbers on the Internet and contacted us by telephone. The information obtained in this way is used exclusively for statistical analysis for ad optimisation. We do not receive any information that could be used to personally identify visitors. The statistics provided to us by Google include the total number of users who have clicked on one of our ads and, if applicable,whether they were redirected to a page on our website with a conversion tag. Using these statistics, we can understand which search terms were clicked on our ad most often and which ads led to the user contacting us via the contact form or by phone. Regarding telephone contact from interested parties or customers, the statistics provided by Google include the start time, end time, status (missed or received), duration (seconds), the caller's area code, telephone cost, and call type.

To build target groups, we use, among other things, customer matching from Google Ads Remarketing. This involves transferring certain customer data (e.g., email addresses) from our customer lists to Google. If the relevant customers are Google users and logged into their Google account, they will be shown suitable advertising messages within the Google network (e.g., on YouTube, Gmail, or in the search engine).

We also want to use the Pinterest tag to ensure that our Pinterest ads correspond to the potential interests of users and are not annoying. With the help of the Pinterest tag, we can also track the effectiveness of Pinterest ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Pinterest ad (so-called "conversion"). The Pinterest tag is integrated directly by Pinterest when you visit our website and can save a so-called cookie, i.e. a small file, on your device. If you then log in to Pinterest or visit Pinterest while logged in, the visit to our online offering will be noted in your profile.

Applications (training & job offers)

By submitting their application to us, applicants agree to the processing of their data for the purposes of the application process in accordance with the manner and scope set out in this privacy policy. The legal basis for the processing of applicant data is Art. 88 GDPR, Section 26 of the new Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Art. 9 (2) (b) GDPR. If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR are voluntarily disclosed as part of the application process, this data will also be processed in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (b) GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severe disability or ethnic origin). If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR are requested from applicants as part of the application process, this data will also be processed in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR (e.g. health data if this is necessary for the exercise of the profession). If made available, applicants can submit their applications to us using an online form on our website. The data will be transmitted to us in encrypted form in accordance with the state of the art. Applicants can also send us their applications via email. However, we ask you to note that emails are generally not sent encrypted and applicants must ensure that they are encrypted themselves. We cannot therefore accept any responsibility for the transmission path of the application between the sender and its receipt on our server and therefore recommend using an online form or sending it by post. Instead of applying via the online form and email, applicants still have the option of sending us their application by post. If the application is successful, the data provided by applicants may be further processed by us for the purposes of the employment relationship. Otherwise, if the application for a job offer is unsuccessful, the applicants' data will be deleted. Applicants' data will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn, which applicants are entitled to do at any time. Deletion takes place after a period of six months so that we can answer any follow-up questions about the application and fulfill our documentation obligations under the General Equal Treatment Act. Invoices for any reimbursement of travel expenses will be archived in accordance with tax law requirements.

Security

We have taken extensive technical and operational security measures to protect your data from accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or unauthorized access.
