What is personal data?

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

Scope of anonymous data collection and data processing

Unless otherwise stated in the following sections, no personal data is generally collected, processed, or used when using our websites. However, we do receive certain technical information through the use of analysis and tracking tools based on data transmitted by your browser (for example, browser type/version, operating system used, websites visited on our site including duration of stay, previously visited website). We evaluate this information only for statistical purposes.

Relevant legal bases for the processing of personal data

To the extent that we obtain consent from the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for processing personal data.
When processing personal data necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures.
To the extent that the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In cases where vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. 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 this interest, Article 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 through an automated system. These are stored in the server's log files. The data are also stored in the log files of our system. These data are not stored together with other personal data of the user.
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 reached our website (referrer)
(7) Websites accessed by the user's system through our website

Duration of personal data storage

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

Contact options

The Sterntaler GmbH website includes a contact form that can be used for electronic communication. Alternatively, contact can be made via the provided email address. If the data subject contacts the controller through one of these channels, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be automatically stored. The storage is solely for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. The data will not be passed on to third parties. The legal basis for processing the data is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR if the user has given consent. The legal basis for processing data transmitted via email is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If the email contact aims to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were collected. For personal data from the contact form input mask and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. A conversation is considered ended when the circumstances indicate that the matter has been conclusively resolved.

Newsletter

If the newsletter of our company is subscribed to, the data entered in the respective input form will be transmitted to the person responsible for processing. Subscription to our newsletter takes place through a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means you will receive an email after signing up, asking you to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary to ensure that no one can subscribe using someone else's email address. When subscribing to the newsletter, the user's IP address as well as the date and time of registration are stored. This serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address of the person concerned. Data will not be passed on to unauthorized third parties. However, data necessary for the purpose of sending the newsletter may be transmitted to corresponding service providers. An exception also exists if there is a legal obligation to disclose data. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter. The newsletter subscription can be canceled by the person concerned at any time. Likewise, consent to the storage of personal data can be revoked at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. The legal basis for processing the data after the user subscribes to the newsletter is, if the user has given consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is § 7 para. 3 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 entered in the respective input form is transmitted to the controller responsible for processing. The data is stored exclusively for internal use by the controller responsible for processing. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. During registration, the user's IP address as well as the date and time of registration are stored. This serves to prevent misuse of the services. Data is not shared with third parties. An exception applies if there is a legal obligation to share the data. Registration of data is required to provide content or services. Registered persons can delete or modify their stored data at any time. The data subject can request information about their stored personal data at any time.

Online Shop

We use your personal data to process your online purchases (your orders and returns are handled through our online services) and to send notifications about delivery status or alerts in case of issues with the delivery of your items. We use your personal data to process your payments. We also use your data to handle complaints and product warranty claims. Your personal data is used to verify your identity, ensure you have reached the legal minimum age for online purchases, and to verify your address with external partners. We want to offer you multiple payment options and conduct analyses to determine which payment methods are available to you, including your payment history and credit checks.

Data Sharing When Using Online Payment Service Providers

If you choose to pay with one of the online payment service providers we offer during your order process, your contact details will be transmitted to them as part of the triggered order. The legality of the data transfer is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, for the execution of the payment method you selected, as well as our legitimate interests according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR to enable a user-friendly and straightforward payment process. The personal data transmitted to the online payment service provider usually includes first name, last name, address, IP address, email address, or other data necessary for order processing, as well as data related to the service, such as the type of service, recipient identity, invoice amount and tax percentage, invoice information, etc. This transfer is necessary to perform the service with the payment method you selected, especially to confirm your identity, manage your payment, and the customer relationship. Please note: Personal data may also be passed on by the online payment service provider to service providers, subcontractors, or other affiliated companies as far as this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations from your order or if the personal data is to be processed on behalf. Depending on the selected payment method, e.g., invoice or direct debit, the personal data transmitted to the provider will be forwarded by the provider to credit agencies. This transfer serves the purpose of identity and creditworthiness checks related to your order. Which credit agencies are involved and which data is generally collected, processed, stored, and shared by the respective provider can be found in the providers' respective privacy policies:

Providing personal data is neither legally nor contractually required and is not necessary for concluding a contract. You are also not obliged to provide personal data. However, failure to provide it may result in you not being able to use this service or not being able to use it fully.

Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller responsible for processing processes and stores personal data of the data subject only as long as necessary to achieve the storage purpose. Storage may also take place if provided for by European or national legislators in Union regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. As soon as the storage purpose no longer applies or a storage period prescribed by the mentioned provisions expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted.

Rights of the data subject

If personal data about you is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and have the following rights against the controller:

Right to information according to Art. 15 GDPR

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

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 of storage of your personal data or, if specific information is not possible, the criteria used to determine the storage period;
The existence of a right to correction or deletion of your personal data, a right to restriction of processing by the controller, or a right to object to this processing;
The existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
All available information about the source of the data if the personal data were not collected from the data subject;
The existence of automated decision-making, including profiling pursuant to Art. 22(1) and (4) GDPR and – at least in these cases – meaningful information about the logic involved as well as the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information about whether your personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you can request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR related to the transfer.

Right to correction pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR

You have the right to request correction and/or completion from the controller if the processed personal data concerning you are incorrect or incomplete. The controller must make the correction without delay.

Right to deletion pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR

(1) You can require the controller to delete your personal data without delay, 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 pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR was based, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data concerning you were processed unlawfully.
The deletion of the personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of Member States to which the controller is subject.
The personal data concerning you were collected in relation to information society services offered according to Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.

(2) If the controller has made your personal data public and is obliged under Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR to delete it, they shall, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, take appropriate measures, including technical measures, to inform controllers processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the deletion of all links to those personal data or copies or replications of those personal data.

(3) The right to deletion does not apply insofar as the processing is necessary

to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
to fulfill a legal obligation that requires processing under 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 according to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h) and i) as well as Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;
for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes according to Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as the right mentioned in para. 1 is likely to make the achievement of the objectives of this processing impossible or seriously impaired, or
to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Right to restriction of processing according to Art. 18 GDPR

Under the following conditions, you can request the restriction of the processing of your personal data:

if you dispute the accuracy of your personal data for a period that allows the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
the processing is unlawful and you refuse the deletion of the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data;
the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, or
if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your reasons.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, these data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a member state. If the restriction of processing has been limited according to the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Right to information according to Art. 19 GDPR

If you have asserted the right to rectification, deletion, or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of this rectification or deletion of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed by the controller about 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 this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided

the processing is based on consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) GDPR or on a contract according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. 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, provided this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this. 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.

Right to object according to Art. 21 GDPR

You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e) or f) GDPR; 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 that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. If your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing; 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. You have the option, in connection with the use of information society services – regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC – to exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

Right to withdraw data protection consent under Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR

You have the right to withdraw your data protection consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority under 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 residence, workplace, or the location of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant about the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 77 GDPR.

Automated individual decision-making including profiling

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

necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
is permitted based on Union or Member State laws applicable to the controller, and these laws contain appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests or
with your explicit consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data according to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) or g) applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

Regarding the cases mentioned in a. and c., the controller takes appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, which include at least the right to request intervention by a person on the part of the controller, to present your own position, and to challenge 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 the processing through various appropriate safeguards. It is possible to transfer data based on an adequacy decision, binding corporate rules, approved codes of conduct, standard data protection clauses, or an approved certification mechanism according to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. a) – f) GDPR.

If the controller transfers data to a third country based on the legal basis of Art. 49 para. 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 provide an equivalent level of protection compared to the protection of personal data in the European Union. This can 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, some third countries pose risks regarding the effective protection of EU fundamental rights through the use of surveillance laws (for example, the USA). In such cases, 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 aims to ensure that the level of protection guaranteed across the Union for natural persons is not undermined when personal data is transferred from the Union to controllers, processors, or other recipients in third countries or to international organizations, even if personal data is transferred from a third country or from an international organization to controllers or processors in the same or another third country or to the same or another international organization.

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 analytics tool that measures the effectiveness of advertising. It is a snippet of code for the website that allows measurement, optimization, and building of target audiences for advertising campaigns. With conversion tracking, we can track across devices (including mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers) what 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 complete conversions due to our Facebook ads. The pixel continues to monitor actions people take after clicking our ads. We can identify on which device our customers saw the ad and on which devices they ultimately completed the conversion. According to Facebook, the data collected includes:

HTTP Headers
HTTP headers contain a range of information sent via a standard web protocol between any browser request and any server on the internet. HTTP headers include information such as IP addresses (which in Germany can only be evaluated at the general country level), details about the web browser, page location, document, URI reference, and the user agent of the web browser.
Pixel-specific data
This includes the Pixel ID and Facebook cookie data used to link events to a specific Facebook ad account and associate them with a person known to Facebook.
Optional values
Developers and marketers can optionally send additional information about the visit through 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 embed the "Visitor Action Pixel" of Meta Platforms Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA, or if you are located in the EU, Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, within our website. This conversion tool allows us to track your actions after you have seen or clicked on a Facebook ad. This serves to monitor and analyze the effectiveness of our Facebook ads for statistical purposes and market research. Although we can only see this data in anonymized form, this data is also stored and processed by Facebook. What exactly Facebook does with this data is unknown to us, but it is assumed that Facebook can and will link this data to your Facebook account. Facebook can use this information for advertising, market research, and to tailor Facebook pages to your needs. For this purpose, Facebook and its partners create usage, interest, and relationship profiles, for example, to evaluate your use of our website in relation to the ads shown to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of Facebook. Cookies may also be stored on your PC for this purpose. Please refer to Facebook's privacy policy for the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights and settings options to protect your privacy. The data may be combined with other Facebook services, such as Custom Audiences.

Advanced Matching

Advertisers can optionally enable the advanced matching feature of the Meta Pixel by sending encrypted information such as 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, postal code, date of birth, or gender.

Legal basis

The legal basis for processing your personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

Recipient

The recipient of your personal data is Meta Platforms Inc. (1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA) and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland).

Transfer to third countries

Personal data is transferred to the USA. The transfer is subject to appropriate safeguards according to Art. 46 GDPR. We have concluded standard contractual clauses according to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c) GDPR with the data importer. Furthermore, we are aware of our responsibility and, where necessary, take additional measures to protect the rights and freedoms of natural persons to ensure the protection of personal data.

Duration of data storage

Revocation

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, see Article 7(3) sentence 1 of the GDPR. This can be done informally and without giving reasons and takes effect for the future.

Google Analytics

Description and purpose

This website uses the service “Google Analytics,” offered by Google LLC, to analyze website usage by users. The service uses “cookies” – text files stored on your device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If applicable, Google Analytics is used on this website with the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). Please also note the following information about the use of Google Analytics: The IP address of users is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area. This shortening removes the personal reference of your IP address. Under the data processing agreement concluded by the website operators with Google LLC, Google creates an evaluation of website usage and activity using the collected information and provides services related to internet usage.

Legal basis

The legal basis for processing your personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR if anonymized data collection using the code “gat._anonymizeIp” does not take place. Otherwise, especially in the case of using “gat._anonymizeIp,” Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR is the legal basis. Our overriding legitimate interest lies in hosting this website.

Recipient

The recipient of your personal data is Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).

Transfer to third countries

Duration of data storage

Google Ads and Conversion Tracking

Description and purpose

To draw attention to our current projects and developments, planned activities, and services, we run Google AdWords ads 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 ads are displayed based on search queries on websites within the Google advertising network. We have the option to combine our ads with specific search terms. Additionally, we use AdWords remarketing lists for search ads. This allows us to tailor search ad campaigns for users who have previously visited our website. Through these services, we can combine our ads with specific search terms or display ads to previous visitors promoting services they viewed on our website. For interest-based offers, an analysis of online user behavior is necessary. To perform this analysis, Google uses cookies. When clicking on an ad or visiting our website, a cookie is set on the user's computer by Google. This information is used to target the visitor during a later search query. Further information about the cookie technology used can also be found in Google's website statistics notes and privacy policy. Using this technology, Google and we as the client receive information that a user clicked on an ad and was redirected to our website to contact us via the contact form. Likewise, Google and we as the client receive information through Google forwarding numbers that a user clicked on a phone number of ours on the internet and contacted us by phone. The information obtained is used exclusively for statistical evaluation to optimize ads. We do not receive any information that would allow us to personally identify visitors. The statistics provided to us by Google include the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and, if applicable, whether they were redirected to a page on our website marked with a conversion tag. Based on these statistics, we can track which search terms led to the most clicks on our ads and which ads resulted in contact via the contact form or phone by the user. Regarding telephone contact by interested parties or customers, the statistics provided by Google include the start time, end time, status (missed or received), duration (seconds), caller's area code, phone costs, and call type.

For audience targeting, we use, among other things, customer matching from Google Ads Remarketing. In this process, we provide certain customer data (e.g., email addresses) from our customer lists to Google. If the customers concerned are Google users and logged into their Google account, they will be shown relevant advertising messages within the Google network (e.g., on YouTube, Gmail, or in the search engine).
