3. Data collection on our website
Cookies
This website partly uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer, nor do they contain any viruses. Cookies are used in order to make the website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer and stored by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognise your browser when you next visit.
You can configure your browser so as to be informed about the placement of cookies, to decide to accept these on an individual basis, a case-by-case basis, to completely exclude all cookies or to activate the automatic deletion of cookies upon closing the browser. By deactivating cookies, this website’s functions may be restricted.
Cookies, which are required for conducting electronic communication or presenting certain functions that you have requested (e.g. the shopping basket function), are stored on the basis of article 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically smooth and optimised presentation of their services. Insofar as other cookies are stored (e.g. cookies for analysing your browsing behaviour), these will be discussed separately in the privacy statement.
Server-log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server-log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- The browser type and browser version
- The operating system used
- Referrer URL
- The hostname of the accessing computer
- The time of the server request
- The IP address
This data will not be combined with data from other sources.
The basis for this processing of data is article 6 para.1 lit. b of the GDPR, which regulates the processing of data to fulfil a contract or conduct pre-contractual measures.
Contact queries
When you send us a query by email, the data in your mail, including the contact data you have provided, will be stored by us for the purpose of answering the query and to answer any ancillary questions. This data data will not be passed on without your consent.
The processing of the data provided in the contact form is conducted exclusively on the basis of your consent (article 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal email to us will suffice for this. The legality of all data processing conducted up until the point of revocation remains unaffected by such.
The data provided in the contact form remains in our possession until you request its erasure, you revoke your consent to its storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. following the conclusion of processing your query). Compelling legal provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.
Processing data (customer and contract data)
We only collect, process and use personal data insofar as required by the basis, content design or any change to the legal relationship (inventory data). This takes place on the basis of article 6 para.1 lit. b of the GDPR, which regulates the processing of data to fulfil a contract or conduct pre-contractual measures. We only collect, process and use personal data about use of our website (usage data), insofar as is required to allow the user to use the service or to invoice.
The customer data collected will be deleted when the order has been completed or following the end of the business relationship. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.
Data transmission at the conclusion of a contract for services and digital content
We only transmit personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the implementation of the contract, such as for payment processing using the relevant credit institute.
There will be no further transmission of data unless you have explicitly consented to such transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties unless you have consented to this, e.g. for advertising purposes.
The basis for this processing of data is article 6 para.1 lit. b of the GDPR, which regulates the processing of data to fulfil a contract or conduct pre-contractual measures.
4. Analysis tools and advertising
andres GmbH actively avoids the analysis of collected data. Furthermore, no active advertising tools are used on this website. This is so that we satisfy the data protection provisions.
