These data are processed by us for the following purposes:

  • To ensure a connection to the website is established smoothly

  • To ensure our website is convenient to use

  • To analyse system security and stability, and

  • For other administrative purposes.

The legal basis for processing of the data is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interests are founded on the above-listed purposes for collection of the data. We never use the data we collect for the purpose of identifying you.

We also use cookies and analytics services when you visit our website. You can find more details in sections 4 and 5 of this Privacy Policy.

If you wish to order products from our website as a guest, we collect the following information:

  • Your form of address, first name and surname

  • A valid e-mail address

  • Your address

  • Payment data, depending on the method of payment you select (such as credit card data, bank details or PayPal account data)

  • If you purchase products on account: your date of birth and telephone number.

These data are collected in order to

  • be able to identify you as our customer;

  • check the plausibility of the data you have entered;

  • handle payment for your order;

  • handle any warranty claims and assert any claims against you.

The data are processed pursuant to your request and are required for the above purposes so that a contract or steps prior to entering into a contract can be performed in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (b) GDPR.

You can also provide the following data to ensure smooth and easy handling of your order and so that any queries can be dealt with faster:

  • Your telephone number, and

  • An alternative delivery address.

You disclose these data voluntarily.

The personal data collected by us for handling your order are stored until the statutory warranty period expires and are then erased automatically, unless we are required to store them for longer in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 (c) GDPR pursuant to retention and documentation obligations under fiscal and commercial law (such as the German Commercial Code (HGB), the German Penal Code (StGB) or the German Fiscal Code (AO)) or you have consented to further storage of them in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (a) GDPR.

c) If you select the ordering option Click & Collect

If you select the ordering option Click & Collect and so wish your order to be delivered to one of our stores, we send your e-mail address to the store so that you are notified as soon as the goods arrive there and are ready for you to collect. The data are processed pursuant to your request and are required for the above purposes so that a contract or steps prior to entering into a contract can be performed in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (b) GDPR.

d) If you set up a user account

You have the option of setting up a password-protected user account, in which we store your personal data. The purpose of that is to enable easier, faster and more personal handling of your purchases and thus ensure maximum convenience for you when you place orders.

If you wish to set up a password-protected user account, we need the following information from you:

  • Your form of address, first name and surname

  • Your address, and

  • A valid e-mail address.

You must also select a password when setting up a user account. It in conjunction with your e-mail address allows you to access your user account. You can view and change the data stored in your user account at any time.

You can also provide your telephone number so that queries can be clarified more quickly. That is voluntarily and not required for setting up the user account.

In addition, you can state your date of birth so that we can surprise you with a present (such as a discount or a special offer) if you subscribe to the newsletter.

We store your personal data in a user account only subject to your voluntary consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (a) GDPR.

It is not necessary to create a user account in order to be able to use our site and to order goods from us. We offer you the option of placing orders as a guest (see section 2. b)). If you do that, however, you have to enter your data in full again each time you place an order.

After your user account has been deleted, your data are then erased automatically and not used further, unless we are required to store them for longer in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 (c) GDPR pursuant to retention and documentation obligations under fiscal and commercial law (such as the German Commercial Code (HGB), the German Penal Code (StGB) or the German Fiscal Code (AO)) or you have consented to further storage of them in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (a) GDPR.

e) In connection with our newsletters

We distribute newsletters that contain personalised product recommendations from our own product range and information about special benefit programmes for customers (including contests, discounts and sales). As part of the compilation and distribution of newsletters, we process personal data, including behaviour-related information, about you and work with the company Emarsys eMarketing Systems AG (hereinafter referred to as “Emarsys”) in this area.

aa) When subscribing to our newsletter

Provided that you have given your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (a) GDPR, we will use your e-mail address for the purpose of sending you our newsletter regularly. The provision of an e-mail address is the only requirement for subscribing to the newsletter.

You will subsequently receive a registration confirmation via e-mail that you must confirm in order to receive our newsletter (double opt-in). This serves as proof to us that you actually initiated the registration process.

bb) Direct marketing without subscribing to our newsletter

If you have not registered for our newsletter, we regularly use your e-mail address following an order to send you our newsletter with information about products similar to the ones that you just ordered, provided that you do not object to this practice. The processing of personal data is authorised in this connection under Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (f) GDPR as a result of our legitimate interest in conducting direct marketing activities.

cc) Cancellation and further informtion

You may cancel the newsletter at any time without stating your reasons by using the unsubscribe link in the e-mail, by making the request directly in your user account or by directly notifying [email protected]. You will then no longer receive the newsletter.

Our newsletter is offered exclusively as personalised information in order to draw your attention to special offers that may be of interest to you and fulfil your needs. For this reason, other available information about you, including customer data from your user account, purchasing history and usage behaviour (e.g. wish lists, basket contents, finding favourite products, CALIDA friends+forever and accessed product pages), is used in addition to your e-mail address to offer personalised content. On the basis of your consent or our legitimate interest in conducting optimised direct marketing, your purchasing and usage behaviour in the online shop is tracked and analysed for the purpose of selecting content, and is linked to your user account. We do not make additional use of the profile information or transmit it to third parties.

We use the services of Emarsys to technically implement customisation. Emarsys analyses the information described above on our behalf for the purpose of planning content for the newsletter. In this process, opening, clicking, bounce, delivery, log-off and conversion rates are evaluated. The analysis also uses cookies or pixel tags that collect information such as the IP address, browser type/version, e-mail client and time of access. As a result, we can see who opened the e-mail and clicked the links contained in it. You can cancel our newsletter at any time if you object to this analysis.

A data processing agreement pursuant to Article 28 GDPR has been concluded with Emarsys. Under this agreement, Emarsys warrants that it will process data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation and guarantees that the rights of data subjects will be protected.

You can find more information on Emarsys’ tracking activities in section 5 j) of this Privacy Policy.

f) Registering for “CALIDA friends+forever”

You can find information on data protection in connection with registration for the “CALIDA friends+forever” loyalty programme at: www.calida.com/en-DE/cms/friends-forever/data-privacy/?updateShop_1_DE.

g) When you use our contact form

We offer you the possibility of contacting us using a form provided on the website if you have any questions, of whatever nature. You must specify a valid e-mail address and your first name and surname so that we know from whom the request is and can respond to it. You can furnish your telephone number voluntarily.

Data are processed for the purpose of contacting us on the basis of your voluntary consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (a) GDPR.

The personal data we collect when you use the contact form are automatically erased when your request has been dealt with.

h) Advertising by mail

We will use the address provided by you within the framework of your order to regularly send you information on our products and offers by mail, as long as you have not indicated your objection to us. In this context, we process your name and address in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR and our legitimate interest to inform our customers about our product range.

i) Participation in a contest

If you participate in one of the contests on our website, we will use your data (name, address, e-mail address, possibly gender and birthday) that you enter into the input box. We will use the data to conduct the contest and determine whether you are eligible to participate, to inform you about any prize that you may have won and to improve our future contests.

Upon presentation of your voluntary authorisation, the legal basis for processing data in connection with the contest will be Article 6 (1) point (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation. The processing of data required to conduct each contest is based on Article 6 (1) point b of the GDPR.

Data will be stored and processed as long as this is required to conduct the contest. We will erase all of your personal data collected in connection with the contest no later than two weeks after the contest has ended, provided that you have not authorised its continued use beyond this date.

The winners’ personal data will be erased no later than three years after the end of the contest. The data may not be erased at an earlier point in time due to the potential need to reconstruct the contest as part of a legal recourse process initiated against it.

We conduct our contests with the assistance of the service provider Emarsys. Emarsys sends confirmation of participation to contestants on our behalf as well as notifies winners using their e-mail addresses and names. You will find more information regarding the sharing of data with Emarsys in section 3. h) aa) of this data protection document.

3. Transmission of data to third parties

Your personal data are not transferred to third parties for purposes other than those specified in the following.

a) Transmission of data to CALIDA AG

Your personal data are also forwarded to CALIDA AG, Industrie Münigen, Bahnhofstrasse, 6208 Oberkirch, Switzerland. Switzerland is a third country within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (see section 3 g)). There is an adequacy decision by the European Commission for Switzerland. In this adequacy decision, the European Commission has confirmed that Switzerland has a level of data protection comparable to that in the European Union.

Data are forwarded as part of the shared responsibility for data backup purposes, internal administration purposes and to ensure central customer management.

The data are forwarded on the basis of Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (f) GDPR; these interests are deemed to be legitimate interests within the meaning of the above provision.

b) For the performance of contracts

Your personal data will be forwarded to third parties if this is legally permissible and necessary according to Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (b) GDPR for performing contracts with you. This includes in particular the forwarding of information to shipping companies for the purpose of delivering goods you have ordered. The third party may use the data given to it solely for the above purposes.

c) For handling payments

When fulfilling the contract, we sometimes work with payment service providers for handling payments. So that payments can be handled, it may be necessary to disclose the purchase amount and, if applicable, other data about you to the provider.  The categories of data forwarded for this purpose differ according to the provider and the selected option. Where we forward personal data to providers, that is done to perform the contract and pursuant to our legitimate interests on the basis of Article 6 (1) sentence 1 points (b) and (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest within the meaning of the above regulation, namely that of being able to offer you the respective payment option. Details of the providers follow here:

Adyen: If a payment is made with a credit card or a SEPA direct debit mandate, the payment will be processed by our payment service provider Adyen (Adyen N.V., Simon Carmiggeltstraat 6 - 50, 1011 DJ Amsterdam, Netherlands). In such instances, your IP address; such order information as your invoice total, customer number, e-mail address and payment ID; and the credit-card or bank account data that you input will be provided to Adyen for the purpose of further payment processing. Adyen will provide this information to other third parties when it is necessary to process the payment (e.g. banks and credit-card companies).

Adyen will be solely responsible for the processing of payment data that subsequently occurs as part of payment processing. Data will be collected and transmitted in encrypted form. We will not have access to this information. You can find more information on data protection regarding Adyen here.

Adyen also provides us with other payment-related services. In this case, your IP address, customer data, order and invoice data as well as payment data related to the payment service being used will be provided to Adyen if this information is required in order to include the payment services on our website for you. You will find information about the individual payment services and possible integration via Adyen below.

Your individual payment data will be stored in encrypted form by Adyen if you have consented to this step. We do not have access to this payment data. If necessary, we will store only a portion of the payment information (e.g. the last four digits of a credit-card number) to provide you with an overview of means of payment on your user account on our website. You may revoke your consent for this payment data to be stored at any time with future effect. The data will then be promptly erased, provided that this information is not needed to process selected payments.

PayPal: We offer handling of payments by means of the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.a.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg (“PayPal”). If you decide to pay using PayPal, you are taken to the PayPal website. You can log on there using your account data and instruct payment. After you are taken to the PayPal website, we have no access to the data collected by PayPal. You can find more information on data protection in relation to PayPal here.

Amazon Pay: We offer handling of payments by means of the payment service provider Amazon Payments Europe s.c.a., 38 avenue J.F. Kennedy, 1855 Luxembourg (“Amazon Pay”). If you decide to pay using Amazon Pay, you are taken to the Amazon Pay website. You can log on there using your account data and instruct payment. After you are taken to the Amazon Pay website, we have no access to the data collected by Amazon Pay. You can find more information on data protection in relation to Amazon Pay here.

Klarna: If you select the payment options provided by Klarna (“purchase on account”, “direct payment with Sofort” and “direct debit mandate”), personal data such as contact and order data will be transmitted to Klarna Bank AB (publ), Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden (“Klarna”). Klarna can thereby assess whether you can make use of the payment options it offers and tailor the payment options to your needs. The integration of Klarna direct payment with Sofort and direct debit mandate of Klarna will be conducted via Adyen (see above).  You will find privacy information regarding Klarna in the bank’s data protection policies and here.

d) For checking your identity and creditworthiness

If we deliver your purchase before receiving payment, for example if you purchase products on account, we may conduct a check on your creditworthiness on the basis of mathematical-statistical methods.

We send the personal data required to check your creditworthiness (your first name and surname, street and number, postcode, city, date of birth, telephone number and, in the case of purchase by direct debit, the account details you provide) to an external service provider. We work together with creditpass GmbH to check your identity and creditworthiness.

On the basis of your personal data, creditpass GmbH provides us with information about the statistical probability of your defaulting. The data are therefore collected, stored and forwarded for the purpose of checking your creditworthiness and pursuant to our interest in avoiding defaults and to prevent fraud on the basis of Article 6 (1) sentence 1 points (b) and (f) GDPR. This information is used to calculate the statistical probability of default and so your solvency (creditworthiness). If the creditworthiness check returns a positive result, you can order goods on account. If the creditworthiness check returns a negative result, our shop system will not allow you to pay on account.

The creditworthiness check may contain probabilities (score values), which are calculated on the basis of scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical methods and also using your address data and date of birth, among other things.

If we take automated decisions with legal effect, you have the right to obtain information on the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such data processing. You can request us to review the automated decision, expressing your point of view, and have the right to obtain human intervention on our part.

For more information, please refer to the privacy statement of creditpass GmbH https://creditpass.de/service/datenschutz/. You can also contact creditpass directly: info(at)creditpass.de.

e) To protect our systems against misuse

Our website uses Google reCAPTCHA, a service from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, U.S. (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). It is intended to ensure that certain offerings are actually requested by a human being and to prevent as far as possible misuse resulting from data entered by bots.

To enable that, Google processes various items of information, including the IP address of the device from which the request has been received, but also other information that can be used to deduce a human act.

These data are processed on the basis of a general weighing of interests within the meaning of Article 6 (1) point (f) GDPR. Protecting our IT systems and, specifically, ensuring that our website functions properly are deemed to be legitimate interests within the meaning of the law.

Google states that it does not combine the IP address transmitted as part of the reCAPTCHA system with data from other Google services. The processed data may be transferred to servers in the U.S. and other unsafe third countries and processed there (see section 3 g)). Google refers in this regard to the standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission as guaranteeing that a level of data protection comparable to that in the European Union is ensured.

You can find more information on data protection in relation to reCAPTCHA in Google’s Privacy Policy.

f) Transmission of data to CaperWhite GmbH

In the context of our mobile POS solution (tablets) at our retail stores, we offer you the option of purchasing our products using the tablets and viewing your customer data

In the context of our POS solution (“Omni-Channel”), we transmit your customer master data and order history data (see section 2 b) and c)) to CaperWhite GmbH, Ludwigstr. 73A, 70176 Stuttgart, Germany.

This service provider was carefully selected and commissioned by CALIDA AG, as part of our group of companies, is obligated to comply with its instructions and is controlled on a regular basis, in particular as regards appropriate technical and organisational measures for ensuring data security. CaperWhite GmbH uses servers located in Europe as part of its activity; no data are transmitted to the U.S.

The data are transmitted pursuant to our legitimate interests and those of CALIDA AG in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (f) GDPR. The need to optimise and improve customer management and our portfolio of offerings constitutes our legitimate interest.

g) Transmission of data to third countries

Personal data are transmitted to third countries only if the requirements stipulated in Article 44 et seq. GDPR are met.

“Third country” denotes a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA) in which the General Data Protection Regulation is not directly applicable. A third country is deemed unsafe if the EU Commission has not adopted an adequacy decision in accordance with Article 45 (1) GDPR confirming that the country has an adequate level of protection for personal data.

The ruling by the European Court of Justice on 16 July 2020 (C-311/18) invalidated the (partial) adequacy decision for the U.S., termed the Privacy Shield. The U.S. is thus an unsafe third country. That means a level of data protection comparable to that in the European Union is not offered in the U.S. There are the following risks if personal data are transmitted to the U.S. There is the risk that U.S. authorities may gain access to personal data pursuant to the PRISM and UPSTREAM surveillance programmes under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and on the basis of Executive Order 12333 or Presidential Policy Directive 28. EU citizens do not have any effective legal means of preventing such access in the U.S. or EU.

We inform you in this Data Policy when and how we transmit personal data to the U.S. or other unsafe third countries. We transmit your personal data only if

  • the recipient offers appropriate safeguards for protecting personal data in accordance with Article 46 GDPR,

  • you explicitly consent to transfer of the data, after we have informed you of the risks, in accordance with Article 49 (1) point (a) GDPR,

  • the transfer is necessary for the performance of contractual obligations between you and us, or

  • another exception under Article 49 GDPR applies. 

Safeguards in accordance with Article 46 GDPR may be what are termed standard contractual clauses. In these standard contractual clauses, the recipient pledges to protect the data adequately and ensure a level of protection comparable to that under the General Data Protection Regulation.

h) Provision of data to Emarsys and shipcloud

As part of our offerings, we must send you notifications on occasion and provide information to you in the process. We share your personal data with third parties who help us disseminate the notifications in this connection. We share this personal data with third parties on the basis of our legitimate interests under Article 6 (1), page 1, point f of the GDPR.

aa) Provision of data to Emarsys

We work with the service provider Emarsys to distribute your notifications. Emarsys performs a number of jobs on our behalf, including the sending of order confirmations, shipping confirmations, cancellations, confirmations of contest participation and prizes as well as notifications related to user accounts and other confirmation notifications.
We provide your data (Name, first name, e-mail address, address, shipping address, delivery address, account details) to Emarsys for the sole purpose of processing your online order.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Emarsys. Under this agreement, Emarsys affirms that it will process data in compliance with our instructions as well as guarantees that the rights of data subjects are protected.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies or other similar features and technologies (such as pixel tags) on our site. These are small files which your browser automatically creates and are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone or the like) when you visit our site. Cookies do not cause any damage on your device and do not contain any viruses, Trojans or other malware.

Information relating to the specific device used is stored in the cookie. However, that does not mean that we can directly identify you from that.

We use pixel tags (also called pixels, tracking pixels or beacon trackers) in our online offering. Pixels are small graphics that are embedded in the HTML code of our pages. No information is stored or changed on your device as a result of the pixel tag, which means that the pixels do not cause any damage on your device, nor do they contain any viruses, Trojans or other malware.

The pixels send your IP address, the referrer URL of the visited website, the time when the pixel was viewed, the browser used, and previously placed cookie information to a web server. That makes it possible to measure reach and carry out other statistical analyses so that we can optimise our offering.

Cookies and pixel tags help us make use of our offering more pleasant for you. For instance, we use what are termed session cookies to recognise if you have already visited individual pages of our website or you are logged on to your user account, or for showing the shopping basket. They are automatically deleted when you leave our site.

We also use temporary cookies, which are stored on your device for a specific defined period of time, to optimise the user-friendliness of our site. When you visit our site again in order to make use of our services, we automatically recognise that you have previously visited us and what inputs and settings you made, meaning you do not have to enter them again. The data processed by these cookies are required for the above purposes in order to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (f) GDPR.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a message is always displayed before a new cookie is created. If, however, you completely disable cookies, you may not be able to use all the features of our website.

We also use cookies and pixel tags to record statistics on use of our website and analyse them so as to optimise our offering for you (see section 5). They enable us to automatically recognise that you previously visited us the next time you call our site. These cookies and pixel tags are automatically erased after a defined time.

We use such cookies and pixel tags only if you have given your consent using the cookie management tool. We process the data processed by cookies and pixel tags on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) point (a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect using the cookie management tool. You can call the tool again at any time by clicking on “Cookie settings” at the bottom of the website.

a) Consent management with Usercentrics

We use the consent management service from Usercentrics GmbH, Rosental 4, 80331 Munich, Germany (hereinafter referred to as “Usercentrics”) on our website to manage consent to the use of cookies and similar technologies. The date and time of your visit, browser information, information on your consent, device information and the anonymised IP address of the device calling the site are processed in this context. The legal basis for that is Article 6 (1) point (f) GDPR. Obtaining and administering legally required consents are deemed to be a legitimate interest within the meaning of the above statutory provision. Information on the withdrawal of previously granted consent is stored for a period of three years.

b) Google Tag Manager

Our website uses Google Tag Manager from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, U.S. (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). We use Google Tag Manager to manage the tools we inform you about in this Privacy Policy. We provide separate details of these tools in this policy.

Tag Manager (which implements the tags) itself causes other tags to be activated, which may in turn record data. Google Tag Manager does not access those data. If recording has been deactivated at the domain or cookie level, this setting will still apply to all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

You can find more information on Google Tag Manager here.

5. Tracking and targeting with consent

The legal basis for the following tracking and targeting measures we use is your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (a) GDPR.

Our objective with the tracking measures we use is to ensure our website is tailored to needs and is continuously optimised. We also use the tracking measures to record statistics on use of our website and analyse them so as to optimise our offering for you.

We use these targeting measures to ensure that you only see advertising tailored to your actual or presumed interests on your devices.

The purposes of processing the data and the categories of data can be referred to in the descriptions of the tracking and targeting tools.

a) Criteo

On the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (a) GDPR and in shared responsibility with Criteo SA (32 Rue Blanche, 75009 Paris, France), the following information is collected and stored on our website:

The data collected by Criteo technology will not be used to personally identify the visitor to this website and will not be linked to personal data associated with the pseudonymous individual without the separate consent of the data subject. Criteo uses an algorithm to analyse surfing behaviour and can then display targeted product recommendations in the form of personalised advertising banners on other websites (termed “publishers”). The data are not used otherwise or transmitted to third parties. You can find more information on Criteo’s technology in Criteo’s Privacy Policy.

The use of Criteo means that further pixels from contractual partners with whom Criteo cooperates are installed. You can find an overview of all the publishers and networks from which pixels are installed here.

You can also disable the Criteo services as a whole under the following link:

https://www.criteo.com/privacy/disable-criteo-services-on-internet-browsers/

Please note that, if you disable the display of personalised ads from Criteo and other advertising partners, you will continue to receive ads, but they will be tailored less precisely to your interests and surfing behaviour.

We have concluded a Joint Data Controller Agreement with Criteo to define our respective responsibilities for complying with the obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation. Under this shared responsibility, however, you can in principle exercise your rights as a data subject towards each of the joint controllers.

On the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (a) GDPR, we use the Google Marketing Platform, a web analytics and advertising service from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, U.S. (hereinafter referred to as “Google”) on our website.

aa)Analytics

As part of Analytics, information is used to evaluate use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services relating to website and Internet use for the purposes of market research and tailoring these websites to needs. The IP addresses are anonymised so that they cannot be associated with a particular person (IP masking).

We use the advertising functions of Google Analytics, depending on the scope of your consent. This results in reports on target groups, demographic attributes (such as age and gender) and the interests of site visitors, as well as on our marketing campaigns. The data for these reports comes from campaigns conducted using Google services, interest-based advertising by Google, the Google Display Network, and visitors’ data from third-party providers. Your identity is not disclosed directly to us as part of that. We can use these reports to improve analysis of user behaviour even further in connection with our online offerings, and optimise the way we address our target groups.

The user data recorded by means of cookies are automatically erased after 14 months.

bb)DoubleClick Digital Marketing

As part of DoubleClick Digital Marketing, information is recorded and analysed in order to optimise insertion of advertisements. The technologies used enable us to address you with advertising tailored to your specific individual interests. Information on the content that has interested you is recorded, for example. On the basis of that information, we can display offerings to you – even on third-party sites – that are specifically geared to your interests as ascertained from your previous user behaviour. Your user behaviour is recorded and analysed only in pseudonymised form and we are not able to identify you from that. The user data recorded by means of cookies are automatically erased after 14 months.

e) Google Ads

We use Google Ads from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, U.S. (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). The service enables us to design advertising content tailored to needs, record statistics on it, optimise it and play it out.

Google Ads uses cookies and pixel tags if you accessed our website by clicking on a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days. If you visit specific pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google will be able to tell that you have clicked on the ad and so were forwarded to that page.

Every Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. That means cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected by the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted-in for conversion tracking. As a Google Ads customer, we are informed about the total number of users who clicked on an ad and were forwarded to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not obtain any information enabling us to identify you personally.

On the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (a) GDPR, we also use the Google Ads remarketing pixel, which collects and analyses information on your use of this website. That enables us to address you with content of relevance to you on other websites. According to Google, the data collected with the remarketing pixel are not combined with personal data Google may have stored. In addition, Google pseudonymises these data. Remarketing data based on tags are stored for 30 days.

The processed data may be transferred to servers in the U.S. and other unsafe third countries and processed there (see section 3 g)). Google refers in this regard to the standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission as guaranteeing that a level of data protection comparable to that in the European Union is ensured. We transfer data to Google only subject to your consent.

f) Facebook pixel with Facebook Custom Audiences

We use the Facebook pixel from Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Facebook”) on our site. The Facebook pixel is a JavaScript code that enables tracking of activities by visitors on websites where the pixel is used. Your IP address, browser information, the starting and destination pages and referrer data are collected and stored by the Facebook pixel.  In addition, the pixel detects what activities were performed on the website, such as click behaviour.

You can find more information on data protection at Facebook here.

(1) Facebook pixel for measurement solutions and analytics services

With the aid of the Facebook pixel, we can use measurement solutions and analytics services to detect how you respond to our ads on Facebook, such as if you click on a link in the ad that takes you to our website. As a result, we gain a better overview of the success of our campaigns on Facebook and can continually optimise them. The pixel also enables us to recognise you when you visit our website. This information makes it possible for ads we place on Facebook to be displayed only to Facebook users who are also probably interested in our offerings, either because they have visited our website previously or because they have certain characteristics (such as interest in certain subjects or products as ascertained on the basis of the websites they have visited).

The pixel is installed when you call our website or respond to an ad we have placed on Facebook, for example because you click on a link to our site in the ad. In this context, a pixel ID is created and stored in a cookie, with the result that we obtain analyses of your user behaviour. The pixel is not used by us to identify you personally.

We have concluded a data processing agreement in this regard, under which Facebook undertakes to process the data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation and to safeguard the rights of data subjects.

(2) Facebook Custom Audience for target groups

On the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (a) GDPR, we use Facebook Custom Audience from the social network Facebook (Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, a company of Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, U.S., hereinafter referred to as “Facebook”). Facebook Custom Audience allows us to tailor advertising campaigns to persons. A Facebook Custom Audience pixel tag is integrated on our website. It is a JavaScript code with which pseudonymised data on use of the website are processed. The data include your IP address, the browser used, and the starting and destination pages. With the aid of the Facebook pixel, we can detect how you respond to our ads on Facebook, such as if you click on a link in the ad that takes you to our website. As a result, we gain a better overview of the success of our campaigns on Facebook and can continually optimise them. The pixel also enables us to recognise you when you visit our website in order to identify you as a target group for the display of advertising. Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel so that the ads we place on Facebook are displayed only to Facebook users who are also probably interested in our offerings, either because they have visited our website previously or because they have certain characteristics (such as interest in certain subjects or product as ascertained on the basis of the websites they have visited).

The information obtained on our sites is automatically compared by Facebook with the aid of a Facebook cookie to determine whether you belong to the target group of relevance to us. If you belong to the target group, you are shown relevant ads on Facebook. In this process, you are not personally identified by us or Facebook by means of comparison of the data.

We and Facebook Ireland are joint controllers in accordance with Article 26 GDPR in relation to use of the Facebook Custom Audience pixel. We have concluded a joint controller agreement to define our respective responsibilities for complying with the obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation.  This agreement specifies that we are responsible for informing users of our website, while Facebook is responsible for handling requests about the rights of data subjects in accordance with Articles 15 to 21 GDPR. Under this shared responsibility, however, you can in principle exercise your rights as a data subject towards each of the joint controllers.

Facebook bases processing of the data on the consent of Facebook users in accordance with Article 6 (1) point (a) GDPR and the legitimate interests of Facebook in accordance with Article 6 (1) point (f) GDPR in ensuring that advertisers on Facebook are provided with precise and reliable reports and precise performance statistics. You can find more information on this subject in Facebook’s Data Policy or here. You can contact Facebook’s Data Protection Officer here.

Facebook bases data transfers by Facebook Ireland to the U.S. or other unsafe third countries on standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission (see section 3 g)). We transfer data to Facebook only with your prior consent.

You can opt out of using the Custom Audiences service globally on the website of Facebook. After logging onto your Facebook account, you are taken to the settings for Facebook ads.

Under its service, AWIN saves cookies on the devices of users who visit our website in order to document transactions (such as leads and sales). The sole purpose of these cookies is to ensure correct assignment of the success of advertising and appropriate billing within the advertising network.

m) Hero

Our website uses a chat tool developed by Hero Towers Limited, Aviation House Kingsway, Holborn, London, England WC2B 6NH (hereinafter referred to as “chat tool” or “Hero”). The chat tool is an additional communications option that you can use to contact our customer service staff and conduct chats or video chats on our website in real time. We can use the chat tool to provide you with additional information about your questions and inform you about interesting deals on our website that are based on your buying behaviour. You can also speak live with a sales associate in one of our stores to learn more about our products if you like. The use of the chat tool is based on the consent you issued under Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect.

We will collect the following data when you use the chat tool:

  • Customer ID

  • Length of chat

  • Messages exchanged during the chat

  • Evaluations

  • Browsing and behavioural data (such as products that were viewed, placed into your basket and purchased, IP address, browser information, date and time of visit).

During the chat, you can also provide your name, e-mail address or mobile number in order to remain in contact with the sales associate. If no sales associate happens to be available at the moment, an e-mail or text message containing a link can be sent to you upon request. You can use this link in the chat tool on our website to contact a sales associate when he or she becomes available. This data can be collated with other data about you that we have on record.

Furthermore, cookies are placed by the chat tool (see section 4) when you use it. The cookies will recognise you if you open another window during an active chat with our customer service staff. The cookies are used to ensure that the chat window remains open and that you can continue the conversation in the new window. Cookies are also used to create user profiles based on pseudonyms. The profiles are used to analyse visitor behaviour as well as to improve and make demand-driven changes to the design of our product range. We use the profiles in particular to facilitate interest-based customer assistance in the chat tool. The pseudonym user profiles will not be linked to direct personal data associated with the pseudonymous individual without the express consent of the affected party.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Hero. Under this agreement, Hero affirms that it will process data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation and guarantees that the rights of data subjects will be protected.

The personal data collected by us about the use of the chat tool for handling your order is stored until the statutory warranty period expires and is then erased automatically, unless we are required to store it for a longer period in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 (c) GDPR pursuant to retention and documentation obligations under fiscal and commercial law (such as the German Commercial Code (HGB), the German Penal Code (StGB) or the German Fiscal Code (AO)) or you have consented to further storage of the data in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation.

n) Meta Conversion API (Facebook)

On our website we use the tracking tool Meta Conversion API from the American Meta Platforms Inc. For the European region, the company Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland) is responsible.

Via this data interface, we exchange data about your behaviour with Facebook based on our legitimate interest (Article 6 (1) point (f) DSGVO) or your consent (Article 6 (1) point (a) DSGVO). This allows us to show you personalised advertisements. We and Facebook also use this data to process your transactions. Through the Conversions API, Facebook receives information about your visit to our website and your behaviour there. If you are registered with a service offered by Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to your account.

Because Meta also processes your data in the likes of the USA, we would like to point out that, according to the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA. This can result in various risks for the legality and security of the data processing. Meta uses standard contractual clauses (SCC) as the basis for Data Processing outside of the European Union, e.g. in the USA. Meta thereby undertakes to comply with the European level of data protection when processing your data, even outside the European Union.

You can find information on Meta’s processing based on standard contractual clauses here https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum and here https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/dataprocessing.

You can find information about the data that is processed by the Meta Conversions API here: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/?entry_point=data_policy_redirect&entry=0

You can find information about the data security conditions that Meta uses to protect your data here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/data_security_terms

You can deactivate the tool at any time in your cookie settings. If you are logged into Facebook, you can make changes here: https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#

o) Hotjar

We use Hotjar in order to better understand our users’ needs and to optimize this service and experience. Hotjar is a technology service that helps us better understand our users’ experience (e.g. how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what users do and don’t like, etc.) and this enables us to build and maintain our service with user feedback. Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect data on our users’ behavior and their devices. This includes a device's IP address (processed during your session and stored in a de-identified form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location (country only), and the preferred language used to display our website. Hotjar stores this information on our behalf in a pseudonymized user profile. Hotjar is contractually forbidden to sell any of the data collected on our behalf.

For further details, please see the ‘about Hotjar’ section of Hotjar’s support site.

6. Google Maps

On the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) point (a) GDPR, we use the Google Maps offering from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, U.S. (hereinafter referred to as “Google”) on our website in order to present an interactive map. You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect using the consent management tool. You can find the tool under “Cookie settings” at the bottom of our website. As a result of the implementation, Google records device-related information, log data including the IP address, and location information. Data is not transferred to Google solely by our website being called. You activate the interactive map of Google Maps and so consent to the data being transferred to Google only once you click on the map. These personal data collected by Google are transferred to a Google server in the U.S. and stored there. The U.S. is an unsafe third country (see also section 3 f)). That means a level of data protection comparable to that in the European Union is not guaranteed in the U.S. We have concluded a data processing agreement, including the EU standard contractual clauses, with Google. That ensures there is a level of data protection comparable to that in the European Union (see details on the transfer of data to the U.S. in Section 3 g)).

Google uses the personal data to evaluate use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services relating to website and Internet use for the purposes of market research and tailoring these web pages to needs. This information may also be transferred by Google to third parties if this is prescribed by law or third parties process this data on behalf of Google. You can prevent any transfer of data as part of using Google Maps to Google’s servers by disabling JavaScript in your browser. However, that means you will not be able to display the map. You can find more information on data protection in relation to Google Maps in Google’s Privacy Policy.

7. Trusted Shops seal of approval

If you have granted your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (a) GDPR during or after your order by checking the relevant checkbox or clicking on the button provided for that purpose (“Rate later”), we send your e-mail address to Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15c, 50823 Cologne, Germany, so that it can remind you by e-mail that you can submit a rating. You can withdraw that consent at any time by sending a mail to our contact address below or by contacting Trusted Shops directly.

This serves to protect overriding legitimate interests, based on a weighing of interests, of ensuring the optimal marketing of our product range pursuant to Section 6 (1) sentence 1 point (f) GDPR. The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are offered by Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather St. 15C, 50823 Cologne, Germany.

When Trustbadge is accessed online, the web server will automatically store a server logfile, which contains such information as your IP address, date and time of access, the amount of transferred data and the requesting provider (access data) and will document access[SK2] . These access data will not be analysed and will be automatically overwritten no later than seven days after your visit to the site is over.

Other personal data will transmitted to Trusted Shops only if you have given your consent, have decided to use Trusted Shops’ products after completing an order or have already registered to use them. In this case, the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops will apply.

8. SOVENDUS vouchers

After you make a purchase at www.calida.com, we offer you the possibility of obtaining vouchers for online portals via the Sovendus GmbH network.

The pseudonymised hash value of the e-mail address will be used to determine whether any objection to receiving advertising from Sovendus has been received (Article 21 (3) and Article 6 (1) point (c) GDPR). The IP address will be used by Sovendus solely for the purpose of data security and, as a rule, will be anonymised after seven days (Article 6 (1) point (f) GDPR). For billing purposes, we also send the order number, order value along with the currency, session ID, coupon code and time stamp to Sovendus in pseudonymised form on the basis of the consent you gave to us using the cookie management tool (Article 6 (1) point (a) DSGVO). If you are interested in receiving a voucher offer from Sovendus, no objection to advertising has been linked to your e-mail address and you click only on the voucher banner displayed for this sale, we will send your form of address, name, postcode, country and e-mail address to Sovendus in encrypted form for the purpose of preparing the voucher (Article 6 (1) points (b) and (f) GDPR).
