1. Accessing our website

Whenever our website is accessed, we automatically collect and store the following data in order to facilitate the use of the website. This data is only stored for the purposes of ensuring IT security (e.g. identifying attacks on the website) and generating statistics. We store all data in a form in which cannot be linked to any specific person. No usage profiles are created for individual users. We collect the following data: browser type/version, operating system used, IP address, referrer URL (the previously visited page), date and time of access.

2. The data is stored for a duration of 2 days.

The personal data specified below is only collected with express consent as per Section 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1a of the German General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will come into force on 25/05/2018. This consent is given upon the creation of a customer account in our online shop (if registering as an online shop customer) and when submitting data to order goods (if goods are being ordered). When you order goods, your personal data is further processed on the basis of Section 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1b GDPR, as the data collected and processed during the order is necessary to perform the contract in respect of delivery of the ordered goods.

When you register as a customer of our online shop and order goods, the registration and login forms collect the following personal data, which is used exclusively for the purpose of delivering and invoicing your order:

  • Name
  • Address data
  • E-mail
  • Payment method
  • Ordered item(s)

You must provide the above data to place an order in our online shop. You cannot place any orders in our online shop without consenting to the collection and processing of the above data. The same applies to the creation of a user account with the exception of the ordered goods and applicable payment method.

The data is stored for a period of ten years.

III. RIGHT OF REVOCATION

You have the right to revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time, but the legitimacy of the data processing that has taken place between your granting and revoking of consent will not be affected. Contact us by sending an e-mail to datenschutz@kompernass.de or via another channel to revoke your consent.

IV. PASSING ON OF DATA

Any data we collect is only passed on to the forwarding company contracted to deliver the goods and the financial institutions responsible for the billing of the order, and only to the extent required for the delivery and billing of the order.
