We have taken technical and organisational measures to ensure that the data protection regulations are observed both by us and by our external service providers. In the following data protection notice we provide you with comprehensive information about the collection and processing of your personal data.

Privacy Policy

As the operator of this website, we take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection notice.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This data protection notice explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Scope of application

This data protection information applies to the following offers

our online offer www.amigo-spiele.de
our online offering blog.amigo-spiele.de
whenever reference is made to this privacy policy from one of our offerings (e.g. websites, subdomains, mobile applications, web services or integrations into third-party sites), regardless of how you access or use it.

All of these offers are also collectively referred to as "services".

Integration of third-party services and content

Our website sometimes includes content and services from other providers. In order for this data to be called up and displayed in the user's browser, the transmission of the IP address is absolutely necessary. The providers (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") therefore perceive the IP address of the respective user.

Even if we endeavour to only use third-party providers who only need the IP address to be able to deliver content, we have no influence on whether the IP address may be stored. In this case, this process is used for statistical purposes, among other things. If we are aware that the IP address is stored, we will inform our users accordingly.

Transfer of personal data to third countries

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

If the transfer of data to a third country does not serve to fulfil 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 exception under Art. 49 GDPR applies, we will only transfer your data to a third country if an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR or suitable guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR exist.

An adequate level of data protection in the USA was last declared by the adequacy decision "Data Privacy Framework (DPF)" adopted in July 2023. US companies must be certified in order to be listed in it. The adequacy decision can be found here: https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en.

We have agreed so-called EU standard data protection clauses with the providers in third countries and, in some cases, data processing on servers in Germany and the EU. Timely deletion of data reduces the risk of unauthorized access.

Alternatively or additionally, the conclusion of the EU standard data protection clauses issued by the European Commission with the receiving organization creates suitable guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 c) GDPR and an appropriate level of data protection. Copies of the EU standard data protection clauses are available on the European Commission's website, available here.

Transfer of data to third parties

Your data will not be transferred to unauthorized third parties. Where external service providers receive your personal data, we have ensured that they implement appropriate technical and organisational measures and that they comply with the applicable data protection regulations and laws.

Data minimisation

In accordance with the principles of data avoidance and data minimisation, we only store personal data for as long as is necessary or prescribed by law (statutory retention period). If the purpose of the data collected no longer applies or the storage period ends, we block or delete the data.

We use the service of consentmanager (consentmanager AB, Haltegelvägen 1b, 72348 Västeras, Sweden, hereinafter referred to 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 used in full, consentmanager obtains the necessary consent from the user in accordance with data protection regulations.

e) Online-Shopping/e-Commerce

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

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

our purchasing department,
other internal departments for the purpose of checking incoming payments and, if necessary, for carrying out dunning procedures and
our contractually bound shipping and storage partner in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR for the processing of your order and to determine outstanding items and balances

Payment data is 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 documents required under tax law (such as invoices) is 10 years after the last order has been processed, counting from the year following the year in which the document was created. Other payment data is not stored.

Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b (fulfilment of contract, processing of orders, payment processing) and lit. f (legitimate interest of the controller) GDPR. Our legitimate interests are economic reasons (ensuring receipt of payments), advertising purposes, maintaining the customer relationship with you and marketing our services.

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

f) 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 adapt them to the needs of users and also serves to rectify errors. We also use the analysis to determine statistical parameters about the use of our services (reach, intensity of use, surfing behaviour of users) and thus obtain comparable values 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, 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 para 1 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 website http://www.aboutads.info/choices or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by switching them off in the browser settings.

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

The tracking methods used in detail:

Matomo

This website uses the open source web analysis service Matomo. This service is currently used as a locally installed "on-premise" version.

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 that are stored on your computer and can be used to analyse your use of the website and create user profiles based on pseudonyms. The information generated by the cookie about website usage is stored on our server for this purpose.

Matomo can be used externally and locally. We use the local installation, in which your IP address is anonymised by us locally on our web server before it is stored. 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 geolocalisation is only possible to a very limited extent. Only anonymised IP addresses are stored, which are deleted again after 90 days.

Matomo does not receive any data from you and you remain anonymous as a user. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is otherwise not passed on to third parties.

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

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

g) Tracking to measure the success of advertising campaigns and website optimisation

Below 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 measure the success of advertising campaigns and optimise the display of advertising.

Tracking to measure the success of advertising campaigns serves to optimise our ads for the future and to enable marketers and advertisers to optimise their ads accordingly. The purpose of tracking to optimise the display of advertisements is to show users advertisements tailored to their interests, to increase the success of the advertisements and thereby also the 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 your consent, you can revoke it at any time in the "Privacy settings" via this link.

The services used for tracking in detail:

GoogleAds

Google Ads is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place adverts both in Google's search engine results and in the Google advertising network. The advertising media are so-called "InBanners". These are advertising videos that are displayed in a banner frame on Internet pages, provided that Google advertising placements can be booked on these pages. As soon as you click on a video in this InBanner, you will be redirected to our website.

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 advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant adverts on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and by displaying third-party adverts on our website.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google advert, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on the data subject's IT system by Google. A conversion cookie loses its validity after 30 days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie enables us and Google to recognize that the data subject has clicked on an ad and been redirected to our site when they visit a particular page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to compile 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 Google Ads advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transferred to Google in the United States of America (USA) and stored there. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

In addition, the data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the data subject's IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

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

This website also uses the online marketing tool Campaign Manager from Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Campaign Manager uses cookies to display adverts that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports or to prevent users from seeing the same adverts more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to record which adverts are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed 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 advert and later visits the advertiser's website with the same browser and makes a purchase there. 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 advert 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 possible that the provider will find out your IP address and save it.

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 means that you will not receive any adverts from third-party providers;
by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain googleadservices.com, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, whereby this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies;
by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the "About Ads" self-regulation campaign via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies;
by permanently deactivating them in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers via the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin,
by means of the corresponding cookie setting. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all 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 plug-in available at https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/142293?hl=de under "Display settings", "Campaign Manager deactivation extension".

The data sent by us and linked to cookies is automatically deleted after 14 months. Data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.

Further information on the Google Marketing Platform can be found at https://marketingplatform.google.com/about and on data protection at Google in general: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy . Alternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at http://www.networkadvertising.org.

h) Social Networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles in social networks.

As a rule, social networks analyse your user behaviour comprehensively when you visit their websites. Visiting our social media presences 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 on our website. You can recognise the links by the respective 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 if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social network. In this case, this data is collected, 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, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you within 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 logged in or were logged in.

Please also note that we cannot 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).

The purpose of our social media presence is to ensure that our company, goods and services are presented as comprehensively as possible on the internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks, e.g. on your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR, as is the case with YouTube, for example.

If you visit one of our social media presences (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, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and your right to lodge a complaint) against both us and the operator of the respective social network.

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

The data collected directly by us via the social media presence is deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for its storage no longer applies, you request us to delete your data, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory 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).

When using this service, personal data may be transmitted to Meta servers located in the USA. Processing is only possible with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. A level of data protection within the meaning of the GDPR is not guaranteed.

YouTube

We have a profile on YouTube. This website contains plugins from YouTube of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, belonging to Google Inc. based in San Bruno/California, USA.

We use the YouTube no-cookies function, i.e. we have activated extended data protection, videos are not accessed via youtube.com, but via youtube-nocookie.com.

This is provided by YouTube itself and ensures that YouTube does not initially store any cookies on your device. However, when the relevant pages are accessed, the IP address and the other data mentioned in section 4 are transmitted and thus, in particular, which of our Internet pages you have visited. However, this information cannot be assigned to you if you are permanently logged in to YouTube or another Google service when you access the page.

As soon as you start playing an embedded video by clicking on it, YouTube only stores cookies on your device through the extended data protection mode, which do not contain any personally identifiable data, unless you are currently logged in to a Google service. According to information from YouTube, cookies are used, among other things, to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent abusive behaviour.

Regardless of whether the embedded videos are played, a connection to the Google "DoubleClick" network is established each time this website is accessed, which may trigger further data processing operations without our influence.

The processing takes place in accordance with your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR). If you have given your consent, you can revoke it at any time in the cookie settings.

You can prevent participation in Google tracking procedures in various ways:

by setting your browser accordingly; in particular, the suppression of third-party cookies means that you will not receive any adverts from third-party providers;
by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain googleadservices.com, https://www.google.de/settings/ads , whereby this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies;
by deactivating the interest-based ads of providers that are part of the "About Ads" self-regulation campaign via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices , whereby this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies;
by permanently deactivating them in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers via the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin,
by means of the corresponding cookie setting. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all 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 plug-in available at https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/142293?hl=de under "Display settings", "Campaign Manager deactivation extension".

The data sent by us and linked to cookies is automatically deleted after 14 months. Data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.

Through the embedded use of YouTube, further services are loaded; we cannot prevent this and we do not actively use these services ourselves.

We use the fonts of the provider Google (Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, part of Google Inc., headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway in Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) for the graphically standardised display of fonts.

The use of the above-mentioned service is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR, with your consent.

l) Data processing for applications and in the application process

AMIGO collects and processes the personal data of applicants internally for the purpose of handling the application process, assessing application prospects and selecting applicants. The legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR - pre-contractual measures and Article 88 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 BDSG (new) (data processing for the purposes of the employment relationship). If you provide us with documents that contain "special categories of personal data" in accordance with Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, the legal basis for processing this data is Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) GDPR (explicit consent), as the data was provided voluntarily and consciously. If this includes data required for the exercise of a profession, the legal basis is Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b) GDPR - fulfilment of contract.

Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website.

The data is processed exclusively for the above-mentioned purposes. In principle, only those persons who need access to your data for the proper course of the application procedure will have access to it. Your data will not be passed on to unauthorised third parties and will be stored by contractually bound software providers (on the basis of a contract within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR and/or EU standard data protection clauses). They are primarily processed on German servers and may be transferred to the USA if necessary.

Your data will be deleted 6 months after the decision on the allocation of the position, provided that no employment contract has been concluded and there are no legal or contractual or legitimate interests of the controller to the contrary. A legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (German AGG). In the event that we wish to consider your application for future vacancies and store it for longer, we will ask you for your prior consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

If an employment contract is concluded with an applicant, the data transmitted will be processed for the purpose of handling the employment relationship.

Bitte Please also note the detailed information on the application procedure.

Your appointment request

This data is used to arrange and organise an appointment between you and us.

Otherwise, your enquiry is based on your implied consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

Your data will be deleted as soon as the appointment has taken place and there are no legal or contractual reasons against this deletion.

3. Your rights

Information, blocking, erasure and rectification

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data at any time. You can contact us or our data protection officer at any time at the address given in the legal notice if you have further questions on the subject of personal data.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal e-mail. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection and direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or f GDPR (consent or legitimate interest), you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this data protection information. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling reasons for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR).

If you are a customer of ours, your data may also be used for direct advertising if it concerns the same or similar topics in connection with the services you have commissioned. If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

The supervisory authority responsible for us is:

Der Hessische Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit
Gustav-Stresemann-Ring 1
65189 Wiesbaden
phone: +49 611 14080
e-mail: poststelle@datenschutz.hessen.de
