Privacy Policy

As of: 29.03.2024

We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of us. The use of the Internet pages of us is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be inline with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to us. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise wouldlike to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller, we has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

Cookies

The Internet pages of us use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the dats subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, we can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.

Collection of general data and information

The website of us collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, we does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, we analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

Contact possibility via the website

The website contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

Hosting

The hosting services used by us serve the provision of the following services: Infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services as well as technical maintenance services which we use for the purpose of operating this online service.

We or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta data and communication data of customers, interested parties and visitors of this online service on the basis of our legitimate interests in the efficient and secure provision of this online service in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO i.V.m. Art. 28 DSGVO (conclusion of a contract for the processing of orders).

    Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of anylinks to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. An employees of us will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

    If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by us, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of us will arrange the restriction of the processing.

  • f) Right to data portability

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

    Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

    In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of us.

  • g) Right to object

    We shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

    If we processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to us to the processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

    In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by us for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

In addition, the data subject is free in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

  • h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is not is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject's explicit consent.

    If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of us.

  • i) Right to withdraw data protection consent

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of his or her personal data at any time.

    If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of us.

Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1)lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1)lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)lit. d GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).

Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.

Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.

Data collection and use for contract processing and when opening a customer account

We process personal data for the purpose of processing contracts and attaching the contact details of suppliers or customers and for forwarding your contact details to our jewellers if you voluntarily provide us with these details as part of your order, when contacting us (e.g. by contact form or e-mail) or when opening a business relationship. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms.

Essentially, this involves the following data:

First name, last name

Billing and delivery address

E-mail address

Billing and payment data

Date of birth, if applicable

Telephone number, if applicable

 

The legal basis for processing personal data for the purpose of contract processing is Article 6(1)(b) DSGVO. If you subscribe to our newsletter with your email address, we will send you a confirmation email on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) DSGVO. We reserve the right, on the basis of Article 6(1)(f), to send you a newsletter for similar product offers after you have completed a purchase, if you have not objected to this. If you use our wedding ring configurator and have us forward your contact details to the jeweller of your choice, this is done on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter a DSGVO. If you send us your contact details to order brochures or for enquiries, this is also done on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter a DSGVO. Insofar as we do not use your contact data for advertising purposes, we may store the data collected for the processing of the contract until the expiry of the statutory or possible contractual warranty and guarantee rights. After the expiry of this period, we retain the information of the contractual relationship required by commercial and tax law for the periods determined by law. For this period (regularly ten years from the conclusion of the contract), the data is processed again solely in the event of an audit by the tax authorities.

The creation of a supplier account is voluntary and is based on your consent within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. You can view and change the data stored about you in your customer account at any time.

Furthermore, the following data processing is required for the execution of a purchase contract:

 

Data transfer for the fulfilment of the contract, determination of identity and creditworthiness.

In order to fulfil the contract, we transmit your e-mail address and, if applicable, your telephone number to the logistics company commissioned by us, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods and you have given us your consent to do so during or after the ordering process, so that they can contact you themselves for the purpose of coordinating the delivery or announcing the delivery.

 

You can revoke the consent given for this at any time vis-à-vis us or the logistics company. If you wish to revoke your consent, please send it to the contact address given in the imprint by email or by post. If you wish to send the revocation to the logistics company working for us, we will provide you with the contact details of the respective logistics partner on request.

For the processing of payments, we pass on the payment data required for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to payment service providers commissioned by us or to the payment service selected by you in the ordering process.

 

If necessary, we will verify your identity on the legal basis of Article 6 (1) (b) and (f) DSGVO by using information from service providers. The authorisation for this results from the protection of your identity and the prevention of fraud attempts at our expense. The circumstance and the result of our enquiry will be added to your customer data for the duration of the contractual relationship.

 

Credit assessment and scoring

 

If we make advance payments, e.g. in the case of purchase on account, we reserve the right to obtain information on identity and creditworthiness from specialised service providers (credit agencies) in order to protect our legitimate interests. For this purpose, we transmit your personal data required for a credit assessment to the following companies:

 

Bürgel Wirtschaftsinformationen Ringwald e.K.

Greschbachstr. 3

76229 Karlsruhe

 

Euler Hermes Germany

Friedensallee 254

22763 Hamburg

 

The creditworthiness information may contain probability values (score values) which are calculated on the basis of scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical procedures and in the calculation of which, among other things, address data are included. We use the information received about the statistical probability of a payment default for a weighed decision about the establishment, implementation or termination of the contractual relationship. Your interests worthy of protection are taken into account in accordance with the legal provisions.

The legal basis for these transfers is Article 6(1)(b) and Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Transfers on the basis of these provisions may only be made insofar as this is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or third parties and does not override the interests of the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subjects which require the protection of personal data.

 

You have the opportunity to express your point of view and contest the decision with the companies indicated previously.

 

Data processing for advertising purposes

On the basis of Article 6(1)(f) DSGVO, the controller has a legitimate interest in processing data for advertising purposes. For the use of a personalised customer approach, we also reserve the use of first name, surname, date of birth, street, postcode and town on this legal basis. The duration of the storage of personal data for advertising purposes is to be derived from the principle of whether the storage is necessary for the advertising approach. We follow the principle of deleting data no later than two years after it is no longer used for advertising purposes.

Own advertising purposes and advertising purposes of third parties

Insofar as you have concluded a contract with us or have had an advertising material sent to you, we manage you as an existing customer or interested party. In these cases, we process your name and address in order to send you information about new products and services.

Interest-based advertising

To ensure that you only receive advertising information that is of supposed interest to you, we categorise and add further information to your customer profile. Statistical information as well as information about you (e.g. basic data of your customer profile) is used for this purpose. The aim is to send you advertising that is geared solely to your actual or presumed needs and accordingly not to bother you with uninteresting advertising.

 

Processing of advertising mailings

The advertising mailings are processed on our behalf by a service provider to whom we pass on your data for this purpose.

Right of objection

You may object to data processing for the above-mentioned purposes at any time, free of charge, separately for the respective communication channel and with effect for the future. All you need to do is send an e-mail or a postal letter to the contact details given in section 2.

If you object, the contact address concerned will be blocked from further data processing for advertising purposes. We would like to point out that in exceptional cases, advertising material may still be sent temporarily after receipt of your objection. This is technically due to the necessary lead time for advertisements and does not mean that we will not implement your objection.

 

 

 

Use of data when registering for the e-mail newsletter

If you register for our newsletter using the double opt-in procedure, we will use the data required for this purpose or separately provided by you in order to send you our e-mail newsletter on a regular basis. In the double opt-in process, we will send you a confirmation link after you have entered your email address in the registration field. When you click on the confirmation link, your email address will be added to our email distribution list. The processing of your email address is then based on your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) DSGVO. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described in the imprint or via a link provided for this purpose at the end of each newsletter.

Data use for e-mail advertising without newsletter registration and your right to object

If we receive your e-mail address in connection with the sale of a product or service and you have not objected to the use of your e-mail address, we reserve the right, within the scope of our legitimate interests, to regularly send you offers by e-mail for products similar to those you have already purchased from our range. Your email address will then be processed in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) DSGVO. You can object to this use of your e-mail address at any time by sending a message to the contact options described in the imprint or via a link provided for this purpose at the end of the newsletter.

 

 

Newsletter processing

The newsletter is sent as part of processing on our behalf by a service provider, to whom we pass on your e-mail address for this purpose.

 

Tracking in newsletters

An anonymous tracking of a sending tool may be used in our newsletters, which only determines whether the newsletter has been opened and, if so, how often a link in the newsletter has been clicked. Further information, in particular personal data, is then not collected.
