Data collection/personal data

 

We collect personal data in accordance with the legal requirements. All personal data that we collect from you via the website will only be processed for the purposes described in greater detail below. This collection takes place within the framework of the legal provisions already named, more specifically, only with your consent.

 

Article 6 EU GDPR in particular specifies when data processing is allowed. BEATE ARENS collects data if:

•         You have given consent (Article 6(1) lit. a EU GDPR)

•         Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract/prior to entering into a contract (Article 6(1) lit. b EU GDPR)

•         Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (Article 6(1) lit. c EU GDPR)

•         Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests of our company except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject (Article 6(1) lit f. EU GDPR). In particular, we view an overriding, legitimate interest in data processing in the following cases:
 

•         Fraud prevention and reduction of payment default
In order to minimise the risk of default, a credit check is conducted within the order process. This check determines which payment options are displayed. Subsequently, all orders that are transferred and suspected to be fraudulent will be examined by an employee and we will start taking the appropriate steps for fraud prevention.-.
 

•         Protecting the security of our systems/investigating errors
For technical security reasons, particularly to protect against hacking attempts on our web server, data will be saved pursuant to Article 6(1) lit. f EU GDPR. No connection is established to individual users. In particular, we collect the following data:The web browser and operating system that is used/name of the internet service provider/information about the website you are visiting us from/information about the website/that you retrieve on our site, the date and time of your visit/the name of requested files/whether a file was transferred/the amount of data that is transferred/the IP address assigned by your internet service provider.
 

Of course, personal data that is collected will be kept confidential.

 

 

Storage period and criteria for determining this period

 

BEATE ARENS processes and saves your personal data only for the period required to achieve the particular processing purpose, or if there is a legal retention period (in particular for commercial or taxation purposes). Once this purpose has been achieved or the retention requirement has expired, the respective data will be routinely erased.

 

 

 

 

Data transfers

 

In certain cases it is necessary to transfer processed personal data in the course of data processing. In this respect, there are various recipient sites and recipient categories.

 

 

 

External sites

Personal data will be transferred to the following categories of recipients while respecting the legal requirements:

•         Service providers as part of order fulfilment

•         Delivery services, distributors, payment services

•         Companies that conduct credit checks

•         Companies that provide marketing services

•         Service providers that are part of communication systems

•         Government authorities and institutions to the extent that this is necessary or required

The linked websites were evaluated for possible statutory violations and recognizable violations of the law at the time of linking. We did not identify illegal content at the time of linking.

Should violations become known, these links shall be removed immediately.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your shortened IP address) will usually be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

 

This website only uses Google Analytics with the “_anonymizeIp()” extension to ensure that IP addresses are anonymised by shortening them and preventing them from being directly linked to a particular individual. Google uses this extension to shorten your IP address within the member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to being transferred. Only in exceptional cases will your full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. In these exceptional cases, this processing shall occur pursuant to Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR on the grounds of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behaviour for optimisation and marketing purposes. You can exercise your rights as a data subject at any time.

 

Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for us and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

Contact options

There is a contact form on our website that can be used to initiate contact electronically. If you use the contact form to write us, we will process your data provided on the contact form in order to initiate contact and to answer your questions and requests. In these cases, the principle of data minimization and data avoidance will be observed in the following way: you will only have to provide the data we will need to initiate contact with you. That is your first name and surname, your e-mail address, the selected topic and the message field itself. In addition, your IP address will be processed out of technical necessity and as a legal safeguard. All other data is entered in voluntary fields and provided optionally (e.g. for a more individualised answer to your questions).

 

 

Making a purchase in the online shop (Article 6(1) lit. b EU GDPR)

 

We offer you two options for processing purchases in our online shop:

•         Creating a customer account

•         Placing an order as a guest

For both registration options, the shop requests the data necessary for processing an order and payment and for conducting a credit check and fraud prevention. This information is labelled with a star (*) as a required field:

•         name, street, postcode, city, birthday and e-mail address

•         Name, street, postcode and city will be requested separately for different delivery addresses

The user’s IP address, date and time of registration will also be stored (technical background data).

 

Creating a customer account:

Upon conclusion of the registration process, your data will be stored for use in our protected customer portal. Of course, the online shop offers you the option of changing your historical data and to use the “My Account” function.

 

You may withdraw your consent to using your account. If you do, your customer account in the shop will be deactivated.  

 

Please note: we store the passwords you provide in encrypted form. Employees from our company cannot read this password. Therefore they cannot give you any information about your password if you forget it. In this case, use the “Have you forgotten your password?” function, which will send you a new, automatically generated password by e-mail. No employee is authorised to request your password on the phone or in writing. Therefore never reveal your password should you be asked for it.

 

Ordering as a guest:

Payment systems (Article 6(1) lit. b and f EU GDPR)

You can select from different payment methods in our online shop. To that end, the respective data relevant to payment is collected so that your order and payment can be processed. In addition, your IP address will be processed out of technical necessity and as a legal safeguard.

 

Certain personal data, see required information, is required to fulfil orders. Unfortunately, without this data, we must refuse to enter into this contract, as we will not be able to perform it.  The data will be transferred accordingly to our payment service provider to be processed.

 

Our payment system uses SSL encryption so that your data is protected when transferred.

 

The payment options available to you depend on the results from our credit check.
