No obligation to provide & consequences of non-provision

The provision of personal data is not required by law or contract and you are not obliged to provide data. We will inform you during the input process if the provision of personal data is required for the respective service (e.g. in contact forms by designating it as a "mandatory field"). If data is required, failure to provide it will mean that the service in question cannot be provided. Otherwise, failure to provide the data may mean that we are unable to provide our services in the same form and quality.  
 

Transfer of data to third countries

If we transfer data to third countries, i.e. countries outside the European Union, then the transfer takes place exclusively in compliance with the legally regulated permissibility requirements.

If the transfer of data to a third country is not for the purpose of fulfilling our contract with you, we do not have your consent, the transfer is not necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and no other exemption under Article 49 of the GDPR applies, we will only transfer your data to a third country if an adequacy decision under Article 45 of the GDPR or appropriate safeguards under Article 46 of the GDPR are in place.

Due to the declaration of invalidity of the EU-US Privacy Shield (ECJ 2020-07-16), processing in the USA is only possible with your consent pursuant to Article 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. A transfer to the USA in the sense of the European data protection level is not guaranteed with the declaration of invalidity.

Alternatively or additionally, create appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 (2) c GDPR and an adequate level of data protection by entering into the EU standard data protection clauses issued by the European Commission with the receiving entity. Copies of the EU standard data protection clauses are available on the website of the European Commission, available here.  
 

Disclosure of personal data

Your personal data will not be passed on, sold or otherwise transferred to third parties unless this is necessary for the purpose of processing the contract. Otherwise, we will only pass on your personal data to third parties within the framework of a legal permit or your consent, which can be revoked at any time for the future.

Service partners require your personal data and process it exclusively on our behalf within the framework of so-called order processing, which is expressly provided for in accordance with Article 28 (3) GDPR.

We only transfer your personal data to state institutions or authorities if we are obliged to do so by law.

How do we secure your data?

We have implemented technical and organisational measures to protect your data processed by us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against access by unauthorised persons. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments. Our employees are obliged by us to maintain confidentiality.  
 

General information on the processing of your personal data

In the following, we will show you for which different purposes we collect which data within the scope of this website:

To be able to display our online presence to you, your IP address is automatically transmitted to our web server when you visit our website and is stored for the duration of your session on our website. After you leave our website, your IP address is deleted again.  
 

Amazon Web Services

We use the Amazon Web Services ("AWS") service of Amazon EU S.a.r.l., 5, Rue Plaetis, 2338 Luxembourg to host the database and web content. Corporate headquarter is Amazon Web Services Inc, P.O. Box 81226, Seattle, WA 98108-1226, USA. We use this service to be able to provide a secure and fast online offer. The data is stored exclusively in a German data centre in Frankfurt, which is certified according to international security standards. Various categories of personal data are processed, e.g. personal data, technical data, contact data, etc. The data is automatically encrypted so that only we, as the responsible party, have access to the data.

We have concluded contractual agreements with AWS for the processing of data in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

Visiting our website

In the case of mere informational use of our website, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure its stability and security (legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR):

  • The name of your internet service provider
  • The website from where you are visiting us, as well as the date and time of your visit
  • The amount of data transferred in each case
  • Your browser, the language and version of your browser software as well as your operating system and its interface

We evaluate this technical data anonymously and only for statistical purposes in order to optimise our internet presence and to be able to make our internet services even more attractive. This anonymous data is stored separately from personal information on secure systems and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about an individual person.  
 

Cookie consent

We use the services of consentmanager (consentmanager AB, Haltegelvägen 1b, 72348 Västeras, Sweden, referred to here as "consentmanager") to obtain, manage and optimise your consent to the use of cookies and other services for the operation of our website. Before the functions of the website can be fully used, consentmanager obtains the necessary consent from the user in accordance with data protection regulations. You have the option of giving your consent for all services or only for certain services. Consentmanager administers these and you have the right to revoke your consent at any time. You can adjust your consent yourself in the so-called "data protection settings". You will find the symbol for this service at the bottom left of our website. The use of this service requires the processing of your IP address and the storage of your preferences regarding the services to be used. The data will be stored for the duration of your consent (until you revoke it). For the processing of personal data (in this case IP address), we have concluded a contract with consentmanager in accordance with the provisions of Art. 28 GDPR. We use the service on the legal basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest here is the data protection-compliant operation of our website and its functions. Processing outside the EU does not take place.  
 

a) Online shopping / e-commerce

In the following, we describe how your personal data is processed when you place orders in the online shop.

For identification, contacting, registration as a customer, age verification, for advertising purposes (e.g. by e-mail) of our own offers, personal master data (name, title, customer number), address data and contact data, such as your e-mail address, as well as your product orders are processed. Your order data (invoice amounts, orders, name, total amount of open and/or paid items, due date) are received:

  • Our order processing department
  • Other internal departments for the purpose of checking incoming payments and, if necessary, for carrying out dunning procedures and
  • Our shipping and storage partner, which is also contractually bound in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, for processing your order and for determining open items and balances

Payment data are required for the payment processing of our services. This data is forwarded to our contractually bound service provider for payment processing. The storage period for all data and receipts required by tax law (such as invoices) is 10 years after processing of the last order, counting from the following year of receipt creation. We so not store any other payment data.

Data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b (performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract) and lit. f (legitimate interest pursued by the controller or a third party) GDPR. Our legitimate interests are economic reasons (ensuring incoming payments), advertising purposes, maintaining the customer relationship with you and marketing our services. The storage period is 10 years after processing of the last order.

We use PayPal, a service of PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg. By selecting payment by PayPal, we redirect you to a PayPal web page. All PayPal transactions are subject to PayPal's privacy policy. PayPal and we act independently in terms of data protection.  
 

b) Data processing through the use of cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are text files that are stored on your computer in order to be able to track visitor preferences and optimally design our website accordingly.

We use transient cookies. These are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include, in particular, session cookies. They store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session. This allows your device to be recognised when you return to the website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.

To prevent cookies from being stored, "do not accept cookies" must be selected in the browser settings. If no cookies are accepted by the browser, the functionality of the website may be limited.

This stored information is processed separately from any other data stored by us. In particular, the cookie data is not linked to your other data.

You can adjust the cookie settings at any time.

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

c) Tracking to analyse and optimise our services and their use

The analysis of user behaviour by means of tracking helps us to check the effectiveness of our services, to optimise them and to adapt them to the needs of the users and also serves to eliminate errors. In addition, we use the analysis to determine statistical parameters about the use of our services (reach, intensity of use, surfing behaviour of users) and thus obtain values that can be compared across the market.

The evaluation of information obtained through tracking is necessary in order to provide you with optimised services in accordance with the contractual purpose and to guarantee you the greatest possible benefit.

In the case of services provided by us in connection with consent, the tracking and the associated analysis of user behaviour is carried out in accordance with the consent you have given us. The legal basis for this processing of personal data is Art. 6 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time in the cookie settings.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be disabled by deactivating them in the browser settings.

Please note that you may then not be able to use all the functions of this online offer.

The tracking methods used in detail:  
 

Web analytics service Google Analytics 4.0

We use Google Analytics Version 4.0 of Google Ireland Ltd (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) and Google Inc, USA. Google processes personal user data unless you have previously objected to this use in your Google account. In addition to the so-called "events", Google also processes cookies that allow an analysis of your website visit. In this way, your data is also transferred to the insecure third country USA.

Legal basis for the use of Google Analytics 4.0 is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, which you can revoke at any time with effect for the future via this link.

Google creates user profiles based on various data and so-called "events" that reflect your user behaviour. Events and data can be:

  • Client ID, device used, last online status
  • Page views
  • First visit to the website
  • Start of session
  • Your „click path“, interaction with the website
  • Scrolls (whenever a user scrolls to the bottom of the page (90 %)
  • Clicks on external links
  • Internal search queries
  • Interaction with videos
  • File downloads
  • Ads seen / clicked on
  • Language settings

In addition, your approximate location (region), your IP address (in shortened form), technical information about your browser and the end devices you use (e.g. language setting, screen resolution), your internet provider, the referrer URL (= via which website or advertising material you came to this website) are recorded.

Evaluations based on the above-mentioned data as well as, among other things, on those of Google Signals, which collects and evaluates cross-device tracking data, can thus be created. For example, whether you visited our website for the first time and how this was done (e.g. via an advertisement), or whether further interactions followed the website visit (e.g. shop purchases).

Purpose: We only receive statistical, anonymised information from Google based on the above information in order to analyse our websites and optimise our web offering.

Your IP address will be anonymised by Google. This usually already takes place within the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. In exceptional cases, the full IP address is transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

More information on Google’s data protection policy can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en or via Google Analytics support information: https://support.google.com/analytics/?hl=en#topic=1008008

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and implement the requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

We use the data obtained to determine how you have used our website. This helps us to optimise the website and to continually improve its user-friendliness. This is also a legitimate interest.

We delete your personal data when it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was processed. This is the case after 14 months.

You can also prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will then be set, which will prevent the collection of your data during future visits to this website: Deactivate Google Analytics.  
 

Google Tag Manager

We use the service Google Tag Manager from Google. “Google” is a group of companies and consists of Google Ireland Ltd (provider of the service), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland and Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA as well as other affiliated companies of Google LLC.

We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google. The Google Tag Manager is an auxiliary service and only processes personal data itself for technically necessary purposes. The Google Tag Manager takes care of loading other components, which in turn may collect data. The Google Tag Manager does not access this data.

For more information on the Google Tag Manager, please see Google’s privacy policy.

Please note that American authorities, such as intelligence agencies, could potentially gain access to personal data that is inevitably exchanged with Google due to the Internet Protocol (TCP) when this service is integrated, due to American laws such as the Cloud Act.  
 

d) Tracking to measure the success of advertising campaigns and optimise the display of advertising

In the following, we describe how your personal data is processed using tracking technologies on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1, lit a GDPR in order to make the success of advertising campaigns measurable and to optimise the display of advertisements.

Tracking to measure the success of advertising campaigns serves to optimise our ads for the future and to enable marketers and advertisers to also optimise their ads accordingly. Tracking to optimise the display of advertisements has the purpose of displaying advertisements to users tailored to their interests, to increase the success of the advertisements and thereby also to increase advertising revenues.

The legal basis for this processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent). If you have given us consent, you can revoke this at any time via this link.

Details of the services that are also used for tracking:  
 

GoogleAds

The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and to display third-party advertising on our website.

If a data subject accesses our website via a Google advertisement, a so-called conversion cookie will be stored on the IT system of the data subject by Google. A conversion cookie loses its validity after 30 days and is not used to identify the data subject. The conversion cookie enables us and Google, provided that the cookie has not yet expired, to recognise when a particular page is visited that the data subject has clicked on an advertisement and been redirected to our page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers.

The operating company of the Google Ad services is Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertisements on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and to display third-party advertisements on our website.

If a data subject accesses our website via a Google advertisement, a so-called conversion cookie will be stored on the data subject’s IT system by Google. A conversion cookie becomes invalid after 30 days and is not used to identify the data subject. The conversion cookie enables us and Google, provided that the cookie has not yet expired, to recognise when a particular page is visited that the data subject has clicked on an advertisement and been redirected to our page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Google Ad customers.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via the ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective ad and to optimise our ads for the future. Neither our company nor other advertisers of Google Ads receive information from Google by means of which the data subject could be identified.

By means of the conversion cookie, personal information, for example the internet pages visited by the data subject, is stored. Each time the data subject visits our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America (USA) and stored there. Google may also pass on personal data collected via this technical procedure to third parties.

In addition, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programmes.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject can adapt his or her personalisation settings and cookies with any of the internet browsers he or she uses via this link.

More information on Google’s data protection policy can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en  
 

Google Marketing Platform (formerly DoubleClick by Google) / Campaign Manager

This website continues to use the online marketing tool Campaign Manager from Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Campaign Manager uses cookies to serve ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are shown in which browser and can thus prevent them from being shown more than once. In addition, Campaign Manager can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a Campaign Manager ad and later visits the advertiser's website with the same browser and makes a purchase. According to Google, Campaign Manager cookies do not contain any personal information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of Campaign Manager, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is still possible for the provider to obtain and store your IP address.

Due to the declaration of invalidity of the EU-US Privacy Shield (ECJ 2020-07-16), processing in the USA is only possible with your consent pursuant to Article 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. A transfer to the USA in the sense of the European data protection level is not guaranteed with the declaration of invalidity.

You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways:

  • by setting your browser software accordingly, in particular the suppression of third-party cookies will result in you not receiving ads from third-party providers
  • by disabling conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the googleadservices.com domain via this link, however, these settings will be deleted as well when you delete your cookies
  • by disabling the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the self-regulatory campaign "About Ads", via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices - this setting will also be deleted when you delete your cookies
  • by permanently disabling them in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers at this link.
  • by means of the corresponding cookie setting. Please note that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. In addition, you can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookies about your use of the websites and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/142293?hl=en-GB&sjid=1420141456602813198-EU under "Display settings", "Extension for Campaign Manager deactivation".

The data sent by us and linked to cookies will be automatically deleted after 14 months. The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached takes place automatically once a month.

For more information on the Google Marketing Platform, please visit https://marketingplatform.google.com/intl/en_uk/about/ and on Google privacy in general https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. Alternatively, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) website at http://www.networkadvertising.org.  
 

Matomo

This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo. This service is currently used as a locally installed "on-premises" variant.

The service provider is InnoCraft Ltd, PO Box 625, 7 Waterloo Quay, Wellington 6011, New Zealand. Matomo uses so-called "cookies". These are text files which are stored on your computer and which can be used to analyse your use of the website and derived from this, to create usage profiles based on pseudonyms. For this purpose, the information generated by the cookie about website usage is stored on our server.

Matomo can be used externally and locally. We use the local installation, in which your IP address on our web server is anonymised by us locally before storage. In this process, data blocks are automatically removed from the IP address (example: 123.123.123.123 becomes 123.123.0.0). In this way, it is no longer possible to identify the user and geolocation is only possible to a very limited extent. Only anonymised IP addresses are stored, which are deleted after 90 days.

Matomo thus receives no data from you and you remain anonymous as a user. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is not otherwise passed on to third parties.

It is no longer possible to draw conclusions about an individual visitor from the existing data.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR - your consent, which you can revoke at any time.  
 

e) Other services

Google Maps

On our website, we use Google Maps as a tool for competitions - e.g. for displaying clues to the hiding places of games and other locations - or possibly also for directions or locations of our company or events.

To enable the display of maps and a location on our website, a connection to the Google server in the USA is established when you access our website.

If you call up the Google Maps component integrated into our website, Google will store a cookie on your end device via your internet browser. In order to display our location and create directions, your user settings and data are processed. We cannot exclude the possibility that Google uses servers in the USA.

The connection to Google established in this way enables Google to determine which website your request was sent from and to which IP address, e.g. directions or locations, are to be transmitted.

If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your internet browser. You can find details on this under the point "1. Data processing through the use of cookies".

The processing only takes place after you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit a GDPR), which you can also revoke at any time in the cookie settings. In addition, the use of Google Maps and the information obtained via Google Maps is carried out in accordance with the Google Terms of Use https://policies.google.com/terms?gl=DE&hl=en and the Terms and Conditions for Google Maps https://www.google.com/intl/en_en/help/terms_maps/.

Google offers a website at

Google Fonts und Fontawesome

For the graphically uniform display of fonts, we use the fonts of the two providers Google Webfonts (Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) and Fontawesome (Fonticons Inc. (6 Porter Road, Apartment 3R, Cambridge, MA 02140, USA).

Only static elements are used here. This means that the fonts are initially loaded and installed by us and no personal data (such as your IP address) is required for the operation of these services and is not transmitted to the providers.

The use of the above-mentioned services is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Privacy policy: https://www.plentymarkets.com/en/privacy-policy/  
 

f) Data processing by social networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks.

As a rule, the social networks comprehensively analyse your user behaviour when you visit their websites. Visiting our social media sites therefore triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations. For the social networks Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube, we have included a direct link to our pages. You can recognise the link by the corresponding symbols.

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence on a social network, the operator of the social network can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected under certain circumstances if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social network. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address.

With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social networks can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, you can be shown interest-based advertising inside and outside the respective social networks. If you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.

Please also note that we are not able to track all processing operations of the social networks. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social network (see below).

Our social media presences are intended to ensure the most comprehensive possible presence of our company, our goods and services on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on deviating legal bases to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. your consent within the meaning of Article 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), as is the case with YouTube, for example.

If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. our Facebook page), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the respective social network for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights (to information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability as well as your right of complaint) against both us and the operator of the respective social network.

Please note that despite the joint responsibility pursuant to Article 26 GDPR, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations by the operators of the respective social network. Our (influence) possibilities are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies, you request us to delete your data, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions and retention periods remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the duration of the storage of your personal data by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. Please obtain information directly from the operators of the social networks (e.g. in their data protection notices, see below).
