3 Scope of the processing of personal data

In order to ensure the functionality of our website and the provision of our content and services, it is necessary that we collect and use personal data of our users.

Personal data is stored and processed exclusively on servers in the European Union.

All data is encrypted on the basis of the SSL procedure.

Data processing is based on the legal provisions of Art 6 (1) lit a (consent) and/or f (legitimate interest) of the DSGVO. If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Any use beyond this will only take place with the express consent of the customer. In detail, data is collected and processed as follows.

In our server, log file data is automatically collected when you visit our website and stored in an internal log file, which is transmitted to us via your browser. This involves the following data:

Names of the sub-pages you called up.


We collect and process this data in anonymized form, i.e.: it cannot be assigned to a specific person. The purpose of the data collection and processing is the evaluation for internal system-related and statistical purposes. Furthermore, for the purpose of technical security, in particular to defend against attempted attacks on our web server; furthermore, to control misuse in the event of suspicion and to clarify suspicion of criminally relevant use. The IP address is only evaluated in the event of attacks on our network infrastructure.

We use your e-mail address to complete a registration process on our pages via a confirmation e-mail and to send you confirmation e-mails about the orders you have placed.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art 6 para 1 lit b (necessary for the performance of the contract) of the DSGVO.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art 6 para 1 lit b (necessary for the performance of the contract) of the DSGVO.

If you subscribe to our company's newsletter, the data in the respective input mask will be transmitted to the controller.

When subscribing to the newsletter, the IP address of the user and the date and time of registration are stored. This serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address of the data subject. The data will not be passed on to third parties. An exception exists if there is a legal obligation to pass on the data.

The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter. The subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time by clicking on the button provided for this purpose in each newsletter.

Likewise, consent to the storage of personal data can be revoked at any time. For this purpose, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter.

The legal basis for the processing of data after registration for the newsletter by the user is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO if the user has given his consent. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is Section 7 (3) UWG.

If you have consented to the use of your e-mail address for the receipt of our newsletter and the sending of offers, you have provided us with the following declaration of consent.

"I have read the privacy notice on this page. I agree that my contact information may be stored and used for contact or inquiries." (Attach contact details after entering)

If you use the contact form on our website, which can be used to contact us electronically, or contact us via our e-mail address, the personal data you provide will be automatically stored. The storage is solely for the purpose of processing or contacting the person concerned. The data will not be passed on to third parties.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. If the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

Use of Google Ads conversion tracking

This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and within the scope of Google Ads the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use the offer of Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising media (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. In this way, we pursue the aim of displaying advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google Ads. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across Google Ads customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can block this use by deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under the keyword "user settings". You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. We use Google Ads based on our legitimate interest in targeted advertising pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. In the context of the use of Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the US.

more information about Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

You can permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads conversion tracking by downloading and installing the available browser plug-in from Google:https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de

Please note that certain functions of this website may not be available or may be restricted if you have deactivated the use of cookies.

As far as legally required, we have obtained your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO for the processing of your data as outlined above. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website or alternatively follow the option described above to make an objection.



Google (Universal) Analytics web analytics service

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). Google (Universal) Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()", which ensures an anonymization of the IP address by shortening and excludes a direct personal reference. Through the extension, your IP address is shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google LLC.server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. In this context, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google (Universal) Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for reading out information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO. Without this consent, Google Analytics will not be used during your visit to the site.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website. We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics, which obliges Google to protect the data of our site visitors and not to pass it on to third parties.

For the transfer of data from the EU to the USA, Google refers to so-called standard data protection clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection in the USA.

Further information on Google (Universal) Analytics can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de



4 Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subjects for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO) serves as the legal basis.



When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) lit.b DS-GVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

If processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) lit. c DS-GVO serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.


5 Recipients of the data or categories of recipients

After entering and transmitting your data, it is sent directly to the server of the external service provider via an encrypted connection. This is wix.com in the case of the newsletter and shopify.com in the case of a purchase.

Recipients of the data are, in addition to Galerie Loeser and the service providers, in the case of shipping products, the transport company/shipping company commissioned by us.

A data transfer to third parties does not take place, with the exception of the transfer of payment data to the processing party for the purpose of debiting the purchase price, to the transport company/shipping company commissioned by us for the delivery of the goods as well as to our tax advisor for the fulfillment of our tax obligations.


6 Routine deletion and storage of personal data


We process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period of time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or insofar as this has been provided for by the European Directive and Regulation Maker or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation Maker or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

In the case of a newsletter subscription, this is the case as long as the subscription is active.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may - apart from being stored - only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Right to information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed about these recipients.



Right to data portability

In exercising this right, you also have the right to obtain that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.
The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

 

Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the DS-GVO; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.


If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to processing of the personal data concerning you for the purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

Right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.



Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects vis-à-vis her or similarly significantly affects her. This does not apply if the decision


is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,

is permitted by legal provisions of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject and these legal provisions contain appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or

is carried out with your explicit consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9(1) DS-GVO, unless Art. 9(2)(a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
With regard to the cases referred to in a. and c., the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.


Right to complain to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 of the GDPR.




8 Possibility of information, objection, correction and removal.



You have the possibility at any time to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data with effect for the future and to have your personal data deleted or amended. If the data is required for the performance of the contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, early deletion of the data is only possible insofar as contractual or legal obligations do not prevent deletion.
