1. Definitions
The privacy policy of EC Brands GmbH is essentially based on the terminology used by the European directive and regulatory authorities in the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO). These can be found in Art. 4 GDPR – for example on the website of the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information https://www.bfdi.bund.deIncidentally, the following terms are used:

c) Double opt-in
If an affected person has registered with their e-mail address in a mailing list (single opt-in), a subsequent confirmation e-mail will be sent and requested to confirm the registration. If the person confirms the registration, the double opt-in is completed.
d) Web beacon (counting pixels)
A web beacon, or counting pixel, is a miniature graphic embedded in e-mails to evaluate the success or failure of the newsletter.

Jassy, on the one hand statistically and further evaluated with the aim to increase the privacy and data security in our company. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by an affected person, so that no connections or related data records can be formed from this. A contract data processing contract was concluded with the designated web host. If you have been redirected to our site through any of the internet addresses listed in Appendix A or Appendix B (see the end of this Privacy Policy), the data referred to in this point has been collected by another data processor, subject to the foregoing. These are the addresses listed in Appendix A to the domainfactory GmbH, represented by the Managing Director Dr. med. Claus Boyens, Tobias Mohr, Oskar-Messter-Strasse 33, 85737 Ismaning and at the GoDaddy.com LLC listed in Appendix B,

Please note, however, that the use and especially the ease of use of our website is limited without cookies.
5. Contact via the website
The website of EC Brands GmbH contains functions that enable a fast electronic contact, including a contact form and an e-mail address. If an affected person contacts the data controller by e-mail or via the contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be automatically saved. Such personal data, voluntarily transmitted by an individual to the controller, is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no disclosure of this personal data to third parties.
6. Newsletter
On the website of the controller, it is possible to subscribe to a newsletter. The data collected in connection with the subscription result from the content of the input mask. EC Brands GmbH informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals through this newsletter about offers and news relating to the company and its business branch. The newsletter can only be received if the person concerned has a valid e-mail address and has registered to receive the newsletter. Before sending the newsletter for the first time, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address entered by the person concerned using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to check whether the owner of the e-mail address as the person concerned authorised the receipt of the newsletter. The personal data collected in the context of registering for the newsletter will be used exclusively to send our newsletter. Subscribers to the newsletter may also be notified by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or registration, as might be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter or technical changes. Subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the person concerned at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that
the data subject has given us for the newsletter dispatch can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking the consent, there is a corresponding link in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly to the controller.
E-mail newsletters are sent via the technical service provider The Rocket Science Group, LLC d / b / a MailChimp, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA (http: //www.mailchimp.com /), to which we pass on your data for the purpose of the newsletter dispatch. Please note that your data is usually transmitted to and stored by a MailChimp server in the USA.

Incidentally, the rights under point 10 also apply to the data collected as part of the subscription to the newsletter 6.1. Newsletter tracking
The newsletters contain so-called web beacons.
Such personal data collected via the web beacons contained in the newsletters will be stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimize the delivery of the newsletter and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties. Affected persons are entitled at any time to revoke the given declaration of consent. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. A deregistration from the receipt of the newsletter is automatically considered a revocation.
For technical reasons, it is unfortunately not possible to continue receiving the newsletter if the consent to the evaluation of the web beacons is revoked – this would involve disproportionate
efforts for the company.
7. Applications
The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application process. The processing can also be done electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller by electronic means, for
example by e-mail or via a web form available on the website. If the controller concludes a contract of employment with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purposes of the employment relationship in accordance with the law. If no employment contract is concluded with the candidate by the controller, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the announcement of the rejection decision, unless deletion precludes other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interest in this sense, for example, a burden of proof in a
procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). 8. Using Google Analytics (with anonymization function) The controller has integrated on this website the component Google Analytics (with anonymization function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, collection and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data on which website an affected person has come to a website (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for which length of stay a
subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising. The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analytics via Google Analytics. By means of this addendum, the IP
address of the Internet access of the data subject will be shortened and anonymised by Google if the access to our website is from a Member State of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Google Analytics sets a cookie on the affected
person’s system. By using this cookie Google is enabled to analyze the usage of our website. Each time you visit any of the pages on this site, the Internet browser on the affected person’s system is automatically prompted by the Google Analytics component to submit data to Google for online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google will be aware of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which serve, among other things, Google to track the origin of the visitors and clicks, and subsequently make commission settlements possible. The cookie stores personally identifiable information, such as access time, the location from which access was made,
and the frequency of site visits by the data subject. Each time you visit our website, your personal information, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal information is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transfer such personal data collected through the technical process to third parties. The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as shown above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently contradict the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the affected person’s system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs. Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of the data generated by Google Analytics for the use of this website
and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the person must download and install a browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google
Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as a contradiction.
If the affected person’s system is later deleted, formatted, or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by the data subject or any other person within their sphere of control, it is possible to
reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Additional information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html.
Google Analytics is explained in more detail at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
We have an order processing contract with Google.
8.1 Use of Google AdSense

Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, on which an Instagram component has been integrated, the internet browser of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the
respective Instagram component to download a representation of the corresponding component of Instagram. As part of this technical process, Instagram is aware of which specific bottom of our website is visited by the person concerned. If the data subject is logged in to Instagram at the same time, Instagram recognizes with each visit to our website by the data subject and during the entire duration of the respective stay on our website which specific subpage the affected person visits. This information is collected through the Instagram component and assigned through Instagram to the affected person’s Instagram account.

11. Liability for links Our offer contains links to external websites of third parties, on whose contents we have no influence. Therefore, we can not assume any liability for these external contents. For the contents of the linked pages is always the respective provider or operator of the pages responsible, this also applies, as far as we are in the individual case itself.
The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal content was not recognizable at the time of linking. However, a permanent content control of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of an infringement. Upon notification of violations, we
will remove such links immediately.
12. Legal basis of processing
Art. 6 I lit. A DS-GMO serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a particular processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract of which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, in processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, processing shall be based on Art. 6 I lit. b DS-GMO. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries regarding our
products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DSGMO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be required to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were injured and his or her name, age, health insurance 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 I lit. d DS-GMO are based. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GMOs are based. On this legal basis, processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases are required if processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our
company or a third party, unless the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned prevail. Such processing operations are particularly allowed to us because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In that regard, it considered that a
legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47, second sentence, DS-BER).
13. Beneficial interests in the processing that are being pursued by the controller or a third party. Is the processing of personal data based on Article 6 I lit. f DS-GMO is our legitimate interest in conducting our business.
14. Duration for which the personal data is stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the deadline, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, if they are no longer required to fulfill the contract or to initiate a contract.
15. No disclosure of data to third parties
EC Brands GmbH does not disclose the personal data of its users to third parties, unless you have previously given their express consent or there is a legal obligation to share data. In addition, a transfer of personal data to third parties may take place if a legal basis allows this and the disclosure
of the data is necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual obligations.
16. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
