1. General

We, the company Exklusive-Weinproben, take the protection of your personal data and the legal obligations that serve this protection very seriously.

You are only sufficiently informed about the meaning, purpose and scope of the processing if the processing is comprehensible for you as the data subject.

The person responsible within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and other data protection regulations is the owner of Exklusive Weinproben&Mehr

Please note that links on our website can take you to other websites that are not operated by us but by third parties. We either clearly mark such links or they are recognizable by a change in the address line of your browser. We are not responsible for compliance with data protection regulations and the secure handling of your personal data on these websites operated by third parties.

2. The definition

2.1. From the GDPR

This privacy policy uses the terms of the legal text of the GDPR. The definitions (Art. 4 GDPR) can be viewed, for example, at https://dejure.org/gesetze/DSGVO/4.html.

2.2. Cookie

Cookies are text files that are stored on your device or read from there by a website. They contain combinations of letters and numbers, for example to recognize the user and their settings when reconnecting to the website that placed the cookies, to enable the user to remain logged in to a customer account or to statistically analyze certain usage behavior. Open cookie & privacy settings.

3. General information on data processing

We only process personal data to the extent permitted by law. Personal data is only passed on in the cases described below (see 4 below).

The personal data will be deleted or protected by technical and organizational measures (e.g. pseudonymization, encryption) as soon as the purpose of the processing no longer applies. This also occurs if a prescribed storage period expires, unless there is a need to further store the personal data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

Unless we are legally obliged to store data for a longer period or to pass it on to third parties (in particular law enforcement authorities), the decision as to which personal data we collect, how long it is stored and to what extent you may have to disclose it depends on which functions of the website you use in each individual case.

4. Data processing in connection with the use of the website

The use of the website and its functions regularly requires the processing of certain personal data.

4.1. Informational use of the website

If you visit our website and use it purely for information purposes, i.e. without using additional functions such as contact forms or social media plugins, we will automatically collect personal data. This includes the following information: IP address of your device and the date and time the website was accessed. This information is transmitted by your browser unless you have configured it to suppress the transmission of information.

This personal data is processed for the purposes of ensuring the functionality and optimization of the website, as well as to ensure the security of our information technology systems. This is also our legitimate interest, which is why the processing is permitted under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

The personal data is stored for a period of 4 weeks. We do not combine this personal data with other data sources. The data is not passed on to third parties. There is no intention to transfer it to a third country or to an international organization.

4.2. Google Maps

Parts of our website use Google Maps functions to integrate map data. This content is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). When you visit our website, your browser loads the necessary code from Google. For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google's servers. This tells Google that our website was accessed via your IP address. At the same time, Google can store cookies on your device unless you have prohibited the use of cookies in your browser, or read cookies. Location data can also be collected if you allow this in your browser.

Google Maps is used to make our website more attractive and convenient, and to make it easier to find the places we specify on the website. This represents a legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Data is transferred to the USA in accordance with Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1250 (EU-US Privacy Shield).

We collect your IP address to enable transmission to Google. You are not obligated to provide this personal data, but use of the relevant parts of our website is not possible without providing it.

Further information can be found in Google’s privacy policy, which can be found at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

4.3. Google Analytics

When you visit our website, the Google Analytics service is loaded for statistical evaluation of website usage. This service is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). By using the extension "anonymizeIp()", we ensure that Google Analytics only transmits a shortened version of your IP address to Google. Google Analytics uses cookies that are stored on your device unless you have prohibited the use of cookies in your browser and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this online service is transmitted to Google in the USA and stored there.

Google Analytics is used for the purposes of economic optimization and needs-based design of our website. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR. In addition, we have concluded a contract for order processing with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics. Data is transferred to the USA in accordance with the EU Commission's Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1250 (EU-US Privacy Shield).

We collect your IP address to enable transmission to Google. You are not obligated to provide this personal data; you can use our website without providing it. You can prevent the provision of this personal data by installing the add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

4.4. Google Remarketing

Google Remarketing services are integrated into our website. The service is provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. This technology allows users who have already visited this website to be contacted again with targeted advertising on the pages of the Google Partner Network. The integration of Google Remarketing thus allows us to create user-related advertising and to display advertising relevant to the Internet user's interests.

Google Remarketing places a cookie on the visitor's device. By setting the cookie, Google is able to recognize the visitor to this website when he or she subsequently visits websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. With each visit to a website on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, the Internet browser of the data subject automatically identifies itself with Google. As part of this technical procedure, Google receives knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address or the surfing behavior of the user, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Whenever the website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the USA and stored there.

This personal data is processed for the purposes of optimizing our offers and personalized advertising. This is also our legitimate interest, which is why processing is permitted under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Data is transferred to Google in the USA in accordance with the EU Commission's Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1250 (EU-US Privacy Shield).

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this purpose - for example, by using a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

4.5. YouTube

Parts of our website use the services of YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA ("YouTube") to display video content. When you access the corresponding pages, your browser loads the code from YouTube necessary to display the video. For this purpose, the browser you use must be connected to the YouTube servers and know that our website was accessed via your IP address. At the same time, YouTube can store cookies on your device, unless you have prohibited the use of cookies in your browser, or read cookies.

YouTube plug-ins are used to make our website more attractive and to enable the display of video content. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Data is transferred to the USA in accordance with the EU Commission's Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1250 (EU-US Privacy Shield).

We collect your IP address to enable transmission to YouTube. You are not obligated to provide this personal data, but use of the relevant parts of our website is not possible without providing it.

If you do not want YouTube to assign the personal data collected via our website to your YouTube account, you must log out of YouTube before visiting our website. Further information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/intl/de/yt/about/. YouTube's privacy policy can be found as part of Google's privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

4.6. Contact form / Contact by email

If you use the contact form on our website or write us an email, we will process the personal data you provide there. This information is transmitted by your browser or email client and stored in our information technology systems. The processing of this personal data is necessary to answer your request. In addition, your IP address and the date and time of the contact request are stored if you write us an email.

The data processing serves to answer your inquiry.

This processing is lawful because answering your request represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

The personal data will be stored for as long as it is necessary to answer your request. If your request leads to a later conclusion of a contract, it will be stored for as long as this is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures or to fulfil the contract. After that, the personal data is routinely deleted every 4 weeks. We do not combine this personal data with other data sources. Data is not passed on to third parties. There is no intention to transfer it to a third country or to an international organisation. You are not obliged to provide this personal data, but using the contact form or sending an email is not possible without providing it.

4.7. Subscription to a newsletter

You can subscribe to our newsletter on our website. If you do so, the personal data you provide when registering will be transmitted to us through your browser and stored in our information technology systems. Your IP address and time of registration will also be stored.

The processing of the personal data you enter serves the purpose of personalizing and sending the newsletter. This processing is lawful because you have given us your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR. The storage of the IP address and time of registration serves the purpose of ensuring the security of our information technology systems. This is also our legitimate interest, which is why processing is permitted in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of GDPR. The personal data you enter will be stored until your subscription with us is canceled. The IP address of the registration will be stored for a period of 4 weeks. We do not combine this personal data with other data sources. Data is not passed on to third parties. There is no intention to transfer it to a third country or to an international organization. You are not obliged to provide this personal data, but subscribing to our newsletter is not possible without providing it.

7. Notification obligations of the controller

We will inform all recipients to whom your personal data was disclosed of any rectification or erasure of their personal data or restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 16, Art. 17 Para. 1 and Art. 18 GDPR, unless notification is impossible or involves disproportionate expenditure. We will inform you of the recipients if you request this.

8. Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, for reasons related to your particular situation.
