C.   Operation and hosting of our website

Our website is operated in our name and on our behalf (Article 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR) by a full-service e-commerce provider that we have commissioned to conduct all of the data processing activities relating to the use of our website. This data processing takes place on the servers of a hosting provider that connects the website to the internet on our behalf. Both service providers are based in Germany.

D.   Overview of our data processing activities

We process data as follows:

  • When you shop with us, we process data from you that we need to enter into and execute a purchase agreement (“performance of a contract”) with you (see section E below for more information on this);
  • When you visit and surf our website (“use of our website”), we process data from and on your end device, some of which could be used to identify you as an individual (see section F below for more information on this);
  • Finally, we process your data when you get in contact with us (“communication”), for example by subscribing to our newsletter, reviewing a product or sending us a message using the means of communication made available to you by us (see section G below for more information on this);

E. Performance of a contract

I. General information about data processing

When you make a purchase on our online shop, we will ask you to provide us with the following personal information:

  • First name;
  • Surname;
  • Billing/delivery address;
  • Email address;
  • Bank details and/or credit card details.

II. Scope and purposes of the data processing

We process the data requested from you for the following purposes:

  • To email you your confirmation of receipt and, if applicable, order confirmation containing the information required by law and to email you status updates on the delivery of the goods you have ordered;
  • To process your payment;
  • To send you your order invoice;
  • To deliver the goods you have ordered;
  • To assign any order cancellations, complaints and other enquiries made after the order has been placed to you and to your order and to handle your requests and enquiries.

If you choose to open a customer account by clicking on “My account – Register now”, we will also process this data to register you as a Rosenthal customer in case you visit or make purchases from our online shop again in the future. This means that you will not have to re-enter the information we need to perform the contract each time that you place an order with us and will allow you to see purchases that you have already made in your customer account at any time. After logging into your customer account, you can also save products available in our online shop as favourites so that you can purchase them at a later date if you so wish.

III. Data transfer/recipients

The recipients of your data are our website’s technical operator and hosting provider (see section C above). If necessary in order to perform the contract, your data will also be passed to the companies commissioned by us to accept and process your order. These companies are as follows:

  • The delivery company commissioned to dispatch, deliver or pick up the goods;
  • The bank/building society responsible for processing the payment.

If you have chosen one of the PayPal payment methods of payment on account, direct debit or credit card, the following pieces of personal data are required to be passed on to PayPal (Europe) S.á.r.l. & Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg, to enable your payment to be processed further and, in the case of payments on account, to enable our payment claim to be assigned to PayPal:

  • Invoice number;
  • Invoice amount;
  • Recipient name and delivery address;
  • Invoicee name and billing address.

IV. Duration of storage

If you choose not to open a customer account, your data will be blocked once the purchase agreement has been fulfilled. This means it will only be processed by us to a limited extent. We will, on the one hand, be required to process it if you exercise claims against us within the statutory periods of limitation (usually three years) and we need to link these claims to you as an individual and the respective business transaction. On the other hand, we are required by commercial and tax law to keep business records for a maximum of ten years. These records may contain your data. We will delete your data as soon as these purposes have been met and these periods of time have expired.

If you have chosen to open a customer account, we will store your data in this account until you ask us to delete your customer account.

V. Legal bases for processing

The data is processed because doing so is necessary for the performance of a contract (Article 6, Paragraph 1b GDPR).

In some cases (sending confirmations of receipt and providing the information required under distance selling regulations), we also need to process the data in order to meet a legal obligation to which we are subject.

If you have opened a customer account, we also process your data on the basis of the consent you gave us when you opened your account (Article 6, Paragraph 1a GDPR).

VI. Right to withdraw consent

You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future for your data to be processed for the purpose of managing your customer account by contacting us using one of the methods of contact found in section A above. We will then delete your customer account.

On request, we would be happy to provide you with more information about how we have weighed up these interests.

6. Right to object

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to this processing at any time. If you exercise this right, we will no longer process this data for these purposes, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or unless the processing is being used to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. You can exercise your right to object by contacting us using the details provided in A above. Alternatively, you can control which types of cookie are created and whether they are created at all by adjusting your browser settings. If you do not accept the use of functional cookies, this may limit the functionality of our website.

II. Analysis of your use of our website using Google Analytics & Optimize

1. General information about data processing

We use Google Analytics including Google Optimize, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited(“Google”).

Google uses cookies. These are text files that are stored on your computer/end device and enable Google to analyse how you use our website. The following information is processed by Google Analytics:

  • Browser type;
  • Operating system;
  • The website you visited before accessing our website;
  • The hostname of your computer/end device (IP address, abbreviated);
  • The time the request is received by our server.

2. Scope and purposes of the data processing

Google processes the data collected by the cookie on our behalf so that it can evaluate how you use our website, compile reports on website activities and provide other services to us relating to website and internet usage. Through the Google Optimize sub-service, we test new content and features on our site for a proportion of visitors to statistically evaluate any changes in usage. During these procedures, no data that could be used to identify you is processed. In particular, the cookie created does not contain any usernames (user IDs). The abbreviated IP address transmitted by your browser during the Google Analytics process is not merged with other Google data.

3. Data transfer/recipient

The information generated by the cookie about how you use our website is generally transferred to and stored on a Google server in the USA. Thanks to the deactivation of the User-ID feature and the activation of IP anonymisation (abbreviation of the IP address by removing the last octet), the data can no longer be linked to your connection or computer/end device.

4. Duration of storage

The data processed is stored by Google for 14 months before being deleted.

5. Legal basis for processing

We process the data on the basis of our interest in conducting statistical evaluations on the use of our website and in using the results of these evaluations to analyse the efficiency of our website. In our assessment, this legitimate interest is not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subjects (Article 6, Paragraph 1f GDPR). On request, we would be happy to provide you with more information about how we have weighed up these interests.

6. Right to object

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to this processing at any time. If you exercise this right, we will no longer process this data for these purposes, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or unless the processing is being used to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. You can prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the cookie about your use of the website by moving the analysis slider in the cookie banner displayed when you visit our website from right (green) to left (grey) or by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB. Alternatively, or when using a browser on a mobile device, you can also prevent Google Analytics & Optimize from capturing data on this website in the future by clicking here (this opt-out feature only works in this one browser and for this domain). This results in an opt-out cookie being created on your end device. You must click on the link again if you delete the cookies in this browser. A final option is to change your browser settings so that cookies are not created. If you do not accept the use of functional cookies, this may limit the functionality of our website.

III. Use of tracking technology to provide personalised online advertising

1. General information about data processing

Provided that you expressly consent to this when visiting our website, we use tracking technology such as cookies or tracking pixels from third-party providers for the purpose of personalised online advertising.

  • The date and time at which you gave your consent (timestamp).

2. Scope and purposes of the data processing

We use tracking technology provided by Google, KUPONA and Facebook to allow Google and KUPONA to detect your browser on other websites and Facebook to detect your browser on Facebook using the recorded data specified in 1 above. This enables Google, KUPONA and Facebook to display our adverts based on your presumed interests. Google, KUPONA and Facebook ascertain your presumed interests from a pseudonymous profile. This pseudonymous profile is created using information gathered by the cookies/pixel about how you use the internet. For example, if you have shown an interest in certain products on our website, the use of the aforementioned third-party cookies allows us to display products of this type on websites connected to these third-party providers. In general, this also prevents the display of annoying advertising that is irrelevant and does not match your interests.

You can find out the categories that are being used to display personalised ads to you in the Google Display Network by clicking on the i button on the advert being displayed to you in order to discover why this particular advert is being shown to you or by visiting the Google page “Why am I seeing this ad”.

We record your consent so that we can demonstrate that it has been received.

4. Duration of storage

In your browser’s security settings, you can find out for how long the various cookies are being stored and for how long your data is being processed for the above purposes. We store the log data about your consent until you withdraw your consent. Once you have withdrawn your consent, we store this log data for the duration of the period of limitation for your claims (three years) plus a safety margin of one month to allow for the delivery of any court documents, i.e. for a total of 37 months.

You can prevent the use of tracking cookies for personalised advertising in the Google Display Network by vising the Google Ads Settings page and moving the slider for “Ads personalisation online” and/or for “Ads personalisation during Google searches” from left to right. Click here to find out how to separately block certain ads or specific advertisers. You can only prevent KUPONA GmbH from using tracking cookies for interest-based advertising by following this link to the Kupona website and switching your tracking status from green, “active”, to red, “inactive”. You can prevent the use of just the Facebook pixel by clicking on this link. You can control whether tracking cookies can be stored on your device at all by turning off cross-site tracking in your browser settings.

We use social plugins on our website provided by the social networks Facebook, Google+, Pinterest and Twitter. To protect your data, these plugins are not directly integrated into our website but are embedded into the page via an HTML link (using the Shariff solution developed by c’t). This ensures that when you visit one of our webpages containing a plugin of this kind, no connection is automatically made with the servers of the respective social network providers. Instead, when you click on one of the buttons, a new browser window will open and display the page of the respective social network so that you can, for example, click the like or share button (if necessary, after entering your login data).

Please consult the privacy policies of the social media providers to find out the purpose for and extent to which the data is collected and processed by the respective providers as well as your rights relating to this and how you can change your settings to protect your privacy.
