Terms and definitions

We want our Data Privacy Policy to be clear and easily understood by all readers. The Data Privacy Policy generally uses the official terminology from the General Data Protection Regulation. Official terms are explained in Article 4 of the GDPR.

Data processing during a visit to our website

When you access our websites, data are transferred to our web server by your web browser. This is necessary for technical reasons. The following data are logged when a connection is established between your web browser and our web server:

  • Domain visited
  • Date and time of access request
  • Site from which file was requested
  • Access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
  • Web browser and operating system used
  • IP address of device issuing request
  • Data volume transferred

    We collect these data to provide a smooth connection setup and a pleasant user experience for visitors to our website. The log file is also used to evaluate system security and stability and for administrative purposes. The lawful basis for temporary storage of the data and log files is Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

    We may store these data for a short period for reasons of technical security, particularly protection against attempted cyberattacks on our web server. These data cannot be used to identify individuals. After seven days at the latest, the data are anonymized by abbreviating the IP address at domain level, so that no connection to individual users can be made. These data are not subjected to evaluation, with the exception of analysis for statistical purposes after anonymization. The data are never combined with data from other data sources.
  • Collection, processing and use of personal data in orders

    When you submit an order, we collect and use your personal data only to the extent required to fulfil and process your order or to process your enquiries or queries. Provision of these personal data is essential in order for us to conclude the contract. Failure to provide the data will prevent conclusion of the contract. The data are processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) lit. b GDPR; this processing is essential for fulfilment of the contract with you. We never share your data with third parties without your express consent, with the sole exception of any service partners we require to execute the contractual relationship, or any service providers whose services we use as part of processing an order. In addition to the recipients specified in the clauses of this Data Privacy Policy, these recipients may comprise service providers in the following categories: shipping service providers, payment service providers, merchandise management providers, order processing service providers, web hosters, IT service providers. We strictly observe statutory regulations in all cases and minimise the extent of such data sharing.

    Contact form, contact by email, enquiries and online shop orders

    If you contact us using the contact form or email, your personal data which you give in the contact form or email, including personal contact details, are stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and answering any subsequent queries. We never share these data without your consent under any circumstances. The lawful basis for processing your personal data in this case is our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry, as described in Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR and, where applicable, Article 6 (1) lit. b GDPR where your enquiry has the purpose of concluding a contract. Furthermore, we reserve the right to send you further information about our products and services in the form of direct advertising. You may naturally object to this at any time.

    Using your email address for the purpose of sending newsletters

    Irrespective of contract processing, we use your email address exclusively for our own advertising purposes to send out newsletters provided that you have expressly consented to our so doing.

    If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on our website, which includes regular information about our offers and products, we require your email address as mandatory information. We apply a double opt-in procedure when sending our newsletters. This means that we only send you our newsletter by email when you have expressly confirmed your consent to our so doing. In the first step of this procedure, you receive an email with a link which you can click to confirm that as the owner of the email address, you wish to receive our newsletters in future. By confirming, you grant your consent to our using your personal data for the purpose of the requested newsletter subscription under Article 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
    When you sign up for our newsletters, we save the email address necessary for sending the newsletters, the IP address from which you signed up for the newsletters, and the date and time of your sign-up and confirmation. This information enables us to trace any misuse at a later stage. You can cancel the newsletter at any time by clicking the link included in every newsletter, or by sending an email to the data controller named above. After cancellation, your email address will immediately be erased from our newsletter mailing list unless you have expressly consented to continued use of your collected personal data or unless continued use of the data is otherwise legally permissible.

    Newsletter mailing using Mailjet

    Our email newsletters are sent out using the technical service provider Mailjet SAS, 13-13 bis, rue de l’Aubrac, 75012 Paris, France,("Mailjet"), to which we supply the personal data you enter when you sign up for the newsletter. We supply the data to the technical provider in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, serving our legitimate interests in providing a promotionally effective, secure and user-friendly newsletter system. The data you enter when signing up for your newsletter subscription (e.g. email address) are stored on Mailjet’s servers in Germany, Ireland or France.

    Mailjet uses this information for the purposes of sending out our newsletters and conducting statistical evaluations related to the newsletters on our behalf. For the purpose of evaluation, the emails sent out contain web beacons or tracking pixels, which are single-pixel GIF files stored on our website. They enable us to evaluate whether a newsletter has been opened and which links in the newsletter were clicked by the reader. In addition, conversion tracking can analyse whether a predefined action (e.g. purchase of a product from our website) was performed after a newsletter link was clicked. Technical information (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type, operating system) is also logged. All data are logged in anonymised form and are not connected with any other personal data, so that direct personal reference is excluded. These data are used solely for the purpose of statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of the analyses can be used to tailor newsletters more closely to the recipients’ interests in future.

    If you wish to object to data analysis for the purpose of statistical evaluation, you must cancel your newsletter subscription.

    We have concluded a data processing agreement with Mailjet in which we place Mailjet under the obligation to protect our customers’ data and to refrain from sharing them with third parties.

    Mailjet is certified under ISO27001, and thus offers the highest standard of data protection and security.

    Google Analytics

    This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google Inc. ("Google"). Our services also use Google Optimize. Google Optimize analyses the use of various variations of our website and helps us to improve its user-friendliness based on website visitor behaviour. Google Optimize is a tool affiliated to Google Analytics. Google Analytics and Google Optimize use cookies, text files which are saved on your computer and allow your use of the website to be analysed. The information about your visit collected by the cookie is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and saved there. We have activated IP anonymisation. This means that Google abbreviates the IP addresses of users within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, excluding any possibility of direct personal reference. Google Inc., headquartered in the USA, is certified for the US-European data protection framework “Privacy Shield”, which guarantees compliance with EU data protection standards. Processing is performed in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR and Section 15 (3) German Telemedia Act (TMG) and based on our legitimate interests in statistical analysis of user behaviour for the purposes of optimisation and marketing.

    Google will use the information collected on behalf of the website operator to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports about your activities within this site and to provide further services for the website operator related to use of the website and Internet use. Google will under no circumstances associate the IP address transmitted by your browser within the operations of Google Analytics with other Google data. The conditions of use of Google Analytics and data privacy information can be viewed at the following links: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html and https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/.

    You can prevent cookies from being installed by entering the corresponding settings in your browser software. However, please note that in this case you may not be able to use the complete range of functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from recording and processing the data related to your website visit (including your IP address) generated by the cookies by downloading and installing the browser plugin from http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

    Google Ads

    This website uses the online advertising program “Google Ads” and, within the scope of Google Ads, conversion tracking by Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA ("Google"). We use the services of Google Ads in order to advertise our attractive offers on external websites by means of content targeting.

    We can use the data from advertising campaigns to determine the effectiveness of individual advertising activities. By doing so we pursue our interest in showing you advertising that you are likely to find interesting, in making our advertising more interesting for you and in fairly calculating advertising costs.
    A conversion tracking cookie is generated when a user clicks a Google Ads advertisement. Cookies are small text files that are saved on your computer. These cookies generally expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. When a user visits specific pages of our website and that user’s unique cookie has not expired, we and Google are able to ascertain that the user clicked the advertisement and was directed to those pages. Cookies are unique to each user and cannot therefore be tracked by the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected by the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers that have opted for conversion tracking. Conversion cookies allow their customers to find out the total number of users that clicked their advertisements and were directed to pages that contained conversion tracking tags. However, they do not contain information that would allow users to be personally identified. If you do not wish to be part of conversion tracking, you can block it by changing your web browser settings to deactivate the Google conversion tracking cookie. You will then no longer be included in conversion tracking statistics. Our use of Google Ads is based on our legitimate interests in providing targeted advertising in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
    Google LLC, headquartered in the USA, is certified for the US-European data protection framework “Privacy Shield”, which guarantees compliance with EU data protection standards.

    You can permanently disable cookies for advertising purposes by changing the settings of your browser software accordingly, or downloading and installing the browser plugin from the following link:

    Google Web Fonts

    This website uses Web Fonts supplied by Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”) to ensure a uniform display of fonts. Google Web Fonts enables us to use external fonts known as Google Fonts. When you enter our website, the relevant Google Font is uploaded from your web browser to your browser cache to ensure texts and fonts are correctly displayed. This is necessary to ensure a visually optimised display of our text content in your browser. If your browser does not support this function, our website will be displayed in a standard font from your computer settings. Google Web Fonts are uploaded by accessing a server, usually a Google server based in the USA. In this process, the server receives information about which page of our website you have visited. Google also saves the IP address of the browser on the visitor’s device.

    We use Google Web Fonts for purposes of optimisation, particularly for improving the user experience of our website and the user-friendliness of the design. This also constitutes a legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
    Google is subject to the Privacy Shield framework established between the European Union and the USA and is appropriately certified. By doing so, Google undertakes to comply with the standards and regulations of European data protection and data privacy law.

    Cookies

    Our website uses cookies, which are stored by your browser on your device and which contain specific settings related to the use of the website (e.g. on the current session). They serve to make our website more user-friendly, more effective and more secure. Cookies are small text files that are created on your computer and stored by your browser. The majority of the cookies we use are “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Other cookies are stored on your device until you delete them or they expire. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.
    In some cases the cookies save settings that simplify website processes (e.g. remembering options already selected). Where individual cookies implemented by us are used to process personal data, this processing has the purpose of either executing contractual performance in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit. b GDPR or protecting our legitimate interests in maintaining optimum website functionality and providing a customer-friendly and effective experience for website users in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

    Please note that deactivating cookies may limit your ability to use all the functions of this website.

    Social media links

    Social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Twitter and Xing) are only embedded on our website as a link to the relevant services. When you click the embedded text or image links, you are directed to the website of the relevant provider. User information is only transmitted to the provider after redirection. For information about how your personal data are treated during your use of these websites, consult the data privacy policies of the social media provider in question.

    Use of Facebook Remarketing

    We use the remarketing function 'Custom Audiences' of Meta Inc. (1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA; 'Meta') on our website. This function is used to address visitors to the website with targeted, interest-based advertising on the social networks Facebook and Instagram.

    For this purpose, the remarketing tag from Meta has been implemented on the website. This tag establishes a direct connection to the Meta servers when visiting the website. As a result, information about which of our pages you have visited is transmitted to the Meta server. Meta assigns this information to your personal Meta user account. When you visit the social network Facebook or Instagram, you will then be shown personalized, interest-based Facebook or Instagram ads with products and services from RENÉSIM direct subsidiaries of RENÉSIM. The processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR due to the legitimate interest in the purpose mentioned above. You have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you based on Art. 6(1) f GDPR at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. For more information on the collection and use of data by Meta, your related rights, and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Meta's privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

    Data transfer and recipients

    We do not transfer your personal data to third parties except in the following cases:

  • where we have explicitly advised this is the case in our description of the relevant data processing procedure;
  • where you have expressly granted consent under Article 6 (1) 1 lit. a GDPR;
  • where such circulation is necessary under Article 6 (1) 1 lit. f GDPR for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and where there are no grounds for assuming you have a legitimate and overriding interest in non-transfer of your data;
  • where there is a statutory obligation to transfer the data in accordance with Article 6 (1) 1 lit. f GDPR, and
  • where transfer of the data under Article 6 (1) 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary for performance of contractual services.

    In addition, in providing our services we make use of carefully selected external service providers which are commissioned in writing to provide services. They are contractually bound to follow our instructions and are regularly monitored by us. Where necessary, we have concluded data processing agreements with these service providers in accordance with Article 28 GDPR. These service providers provide services such as web hosting, emailing and maintenance and management of our IT systems. They do not share personal data with third parties.
  • Duration of storage of personal data

    The duration of storage of personal data is determined by the relevant retention periods required by law (e.g. commercial law, tax law). The data are automatically deleted upon expiry of the retention period. In cases where data are required for the purpose of initiating or fulfilling a contract or where we have a legitimate interest in continued storage of the data, the data are deleted when they are no longer required for these purposes or if you exercise your right to revoke or object to data storage.

    Data security

    We collect personal data (individual items of information about the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person) only to the extent provided by you.

    RENÉSIM uses SSL technology, in which the following personal data which you send us are encrypted and cannot be viewed by others. SSL encryption applies to the entire customer account, the order process and sending of any contact enquiries.

    The right under Article 18 GDPR to require restriction of processing your personal data in cases where you dispute the accuracy of the data; where the processing is unlawful, but you oppose the erasure of the data; and where we no longer need the personal data but you require them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or have filed an objection to processing under Article 21 GDPR.
