We Respect Your Data!

Thank you for your interest in our website. The trust of all visitors and customers, the security of your data and the protection of your privacy are of central importance to us. We therefore process your personal data in accordance with the applicable statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy. Personal data is information that can be used to identify you, such as your real name, address or telephone number.

If you view and use our website without registering or otherwise expressly providing us with information, we process the data transmitted to us with each request from your browser (see “Log Data” below). If you expressly provide us with personal data (e.g. via our contact form), this data will only be processed for the purpose of the respective enquiry or order. Please note that data transmission over the Internet can never be completely protected against access by third parties.

Below, we explain in more detail which data we process, when we process it and for what purpose. We explain how the services we offer work and how the protection of your personal data is ensured.

Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

Where we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis.

For the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Where the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Where vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party and where the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data Deletion and Storage Period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this is provided for by European or national laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned regulations expires, unless continued storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

Your Rights

You have the right to obtain information free of charge about the personal data we have stored about you and, where applicable, the right to rectification, restriction of processing or deletion of this data. You also have the right to data portability. Finally, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority regarding our processing of your personal data.

We would also like to point out that you may object at any time to the future processing of your personal data in accordance with the statutory provisions pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR. In particular, you may object to processing for direct marketing purposes.

Requests for Information

If you have any questions regarding the collection, processing or use of your personal data, requests for information, rectification, blocking or deletion of data, withdrawal of any consent you may have given, or objections to a particular use of your data, please contact us at the following email address: datenschutz@fd-textil.de

Log Data

Log data is automatically collected and stored by the Internet service provider because processing this data is technically necessary to display our website to you and to ensure its stability and security. Log data includes the following information:

  • Date and time of the respective request
  • Internet address (URL) requested
  • URL visited by the visitor immediately beforehand
  • Browser and language used
  • Operating system and user interface used
  • Visitor’s IP address and hostname
  • Access status / HTTP status code
  • Amount of data transferred in each case

This data is transmitted to us automatically and cannot be attributed to you personally without disproportionate effort. The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, as this data processing is necessary for the operation and display of the website. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. Where data is collected for the purpose of providing the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files are essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, users have no right to object to this processing.

Cookies

To make your visit to our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device and save certain information for exchange with our system. The legal basis for processing this data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. when you close your browser (transient cookies). These include, in particular, session cookies. They store a unique identifier (session ID). This session ID allows various requests from your browser to be assigned to a single session. This allows your device to be recognised when you return to our website during a session. Session cookies are also deleted when you log out.

Other cookies remain on your device for a specified period and allow us to recognise your browser or device the next time you visit our website (persistent cookies).

If you log into your user account on our website and select the “stay logged in” option, we use persistent cookies to recognise your device the next time you visit after closing your browser. This means you do not have to log in again.

Please note that certain cookies are set as soon as you visit our website. You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are set and to allow you to decide individually whether to accept them, or to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases, particularly third-party cookies, or generally. If you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be restricted.

If you view content using the Flash plugin, Flash cookies may be used. These are not recorded and stored by your browser, but by the Flash plugin itself. If you do not want Flash cookies to be processed, you must install an appropriate add-on, e.g. “Better Privacy” for Mozilla Firefox or the Adobe Flash Killer Cookie for Google Chrome.

Configuring Cookie Settings in Your Browser

You can prevent cookies from being stored on your computer by changing the appropriate browser settings. Each browser differs in the way it manages cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of each browser, which explains how you can change your cookie settings. You can find the relevant information for each browser at the following links:

Sending Our Email Newsletter via “MailChimp”

The information provided in this section explains how registration, distribution, evaluation and the content of our email newsletter are handled.

If you would like to subscribe to and regularly read our email newsletter, you must register using a valid email address and thereby consent to our processing of your personal data. Please refer to the declaration of consent on the newsletter registration form.

Before the newsletter is sent, you must expressly confirm, as part of the so-called double opt-in procedure, that you want us to activate the email newsletter service for you. We do this to prevent third-party email addresses from being used for registrations. For this purpose, you will receive a confirmation and authorisation email from us asking you to click on the link contained in the email and thereby confirm that you wish to receive our newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration, your personal data will be deleted within 10 days.

In connection with registration, in addition to your email address, the time of registration, time of confirmation, IP address and wording of the consent declaration are stored. We use your email address exclusively to send the newsletter unless you have expressly consented to another use.

Small “invisible” files (beacons) sent with the newsletter may be used to carry out various analyses in order to improve our services. The IP address, browser, time at which the newsletter is accessed and opened, and click behaviour relating to links contained in the newsletter are recorded and statistically evaluated.

The newsletter is sent on the basis of the recipients’ consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with § 7 para. 2 no. 3 UWG. The analysis of opening and click rates is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our interest is to create offers that are as relevant as possible for our users and to achieve and continuously optimise this by analysing user behaviour.

Service provider for distribution: The newsletter is sent using MailChimp, a distribution platform operated by the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA (hereinafter referred to as the “distribution service provider”). The distribution service provider’s privacy policy can be viewed at https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/. The distribution service provider is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby provides a guarantee of compliance with the European level of data protection. The relevant information is available at: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG

We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement with the provider in accordance with a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

You may unsubscribe by withdrawing your consent. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. Please use the designated link in the newsletter for this purpose. Unfortunately, it is not possible to separately withdraw consent to the sending of the newsletter or the analysis of user behaviour.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports and statistics on website activity, and provide the website operator with other services relating to website and Internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent cookies from being stored by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

This website uses Google Analytics with the “_anonymizeIp()” extension. This means that IP addresses are processed in shortened form, which, according to Google, is intended to virtually eliminate the possibility of identifying individuals. To the extent that the data collected about you can be linked to an individual, this link is therefore intended to be immediately excluded and the personal data deleted without delay.

We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. The statistics obtained allow us to improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby provides a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR in order to protect your personal data.

Further information about Google can be found here:

Terms of Use: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html, Privacy Overview: http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html, and Privacy Policy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

You can object to the use of Google Analytics by selecting the opt-out option when accessing the website. The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, as we wish to provide you with an attractive website that is optimised as far as possible.

Facebook Pixel and Facebook Custom Audiences

Facebook Conversion Tracking, the so-called “Facebook Pixel” of the social network Facebook, is used on our website for the purpose of analysing and optimising our website. The provider of these services is Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If you are resident in the EU, the provider of the services is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter “Facebook”).

The use of the Facebook Pixel enables Facebook, on the one hand, to identify and determine visitors to our website as a potential target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “Facebook Ads”). We therefore use the Facebook Pixel to display the Facebook Ads placed by us only to Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our website or who have certain characteristics (interests determined on the basis of websites visited, etc.). We transmit this information to Facebook and thereby create so-called “Custom Audiences”. By using the Facebook Pixel, we also aim to ensure that our Facebook Ads correspond to the potential interests of visitors and are not perceived as a nuisance. By using the Facebook Pixel, we can statistically track the effectiveness of Facebook Ads and evaluate them for market research purposes. We analyse whether visitors are redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook Ad, i.e. whether a so-called “conversion” takes place.

General information on data processing by Facebook can be found at https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. Further information and details about the Facebook Pixel can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616. Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield and thereby provides a guarantee of compliance with the European level of data protection. You can object to collection by the Facebook Pixel and the use of your data to display Facebook Ads. To configure which types of advertisements are displayed to you within Facebook, you can visit the page provided by Facebook and follow the instructions on settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings apply across platforms, i.e. they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

You can object to the use of the Facebook Pixel by selecting the opt-out option when accessing the website. The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, as we wish to provide you with an attractive website that is optimised as far as possible.

Google Maps

Our website has an interface to Google Maps. In order to use Google Maps, your IP address must be stored on a Google server in the USA. The recipient of the data is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, as we wish to provide you with an attractive website. Additional information is provided in Google’s Privacy Policy at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

This service is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Online Shop with PayPal Payment

We also offer products such as personalised textiles and accessories for purchase via our website.

As part of the ordering process, you are required to enter the following data:

Name, delivery and billing address, email address and, where applicable, telephone number for enquiries.

This data is stored by us exclusively for the further processing of your enquiry. The data is only stored by us for as long as required to process the enquiry.

The legal basis for processing personal data during the ordering and purchasing process is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

Payments can be made via PayPal.

PayPal is an online payment service provider. PayPal is operated by PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal also allows virtual payments to be processed via credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed using an email address, which means there is no traditional account number. PayPal enables online payments to third parties to be initiated and payments to be received. PayPal also performs trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.

If the data subject selects PayPal as the payment method during the ordering process in our online shop, the data subject’s data is automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transmission of personal data required for payment processing.

The personal data transmitted to PayPal generally includes first name, surname, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile telephone number or other data required for payment processing. Personal data relating to the respective order is also required for the processing of the purchase contract.

The purpose of transmitting the data is payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transmit personal data to PayPal in particular where there is a legitimate interest in doing so. Personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller may, under certain circumstances, be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to verify identity and creditworthiness.

We cannot provide information on how PayPal further processes the data.

PayPal’s applicable privacy policy can be accessed at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

The legal basis for processing personal data during the purchasing process is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

SSL Encryption

For security reasons, our website uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption. This protects transmitted data and prevents it from being read by third parties. You can recognise successful encryption by the fact that the protocol designation in your browser’s status bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and a closed padlock symbol is displayed.
