C. Purpose of personal data processing / Recipients

We only use your personal data for the purposes stated on this page of information on data protection. The following input masks for the collection of personal data can be found on our website.

C. 1. Newsletter

You can regularly receive free email newsletters from our website in which we inform you about our products, offers, blog posts and all the latest news from the world of Schöffel. The advertised topics and products are stated in the declaration of consent. You must provide the following information in order to subscribe:

• email address (mandatory)
• gender (mandatory)

This mandatory information is required in order to provide you with relevant, personalised content. In addition, by registering you confirm that you are at least 16 years old.
The information you provide when subscribing to our newsletter will only be used for this purpose. Subscribers may also be informed by email of any circumstances that are relevant to the service or subscription (such as changes to the newsletter offer or technical circumstances).

A valid email address is required in order to subscribe. Your consent is obtained during the registration process and reference made to this privacy policy before the data is processed. In order to verify that a registration really is being made by the owner of an email address, we use the "double opt-in" procedure. To this end, we log the order for the newsletter (time and topic), the sending of a confirmation email and the receipt of the response requested in it. We also store your IP address.

Please note that we evaluate your user behaviour when we send out the newsletter. The newsletters contain "web beacons" or "tracking pixels" for this purpose that are called up when the newsletter is opened. For these evaluations, we link the data mentioned under B (browser type / version, operating system used, name of the web page visited previously, IP address / host name of your device, data and time of the server request) and the web beacons to your email address and an individual ID. Any links contained in the newsletter also contain this ID. We can use this data to determine whether and when you opened the newsletter and which links in the newsletter were clicked. This is done to optimise and statistically evaluate our newsletter.

We use Salesforce (salesforce.com Germany GmbH, a subsidiary of salesforce.com inc., Salesforce Tower, 415 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA, see D.13), to send and collect user data for our email newsletter. If you register for our newsletter, the data provided during registration will be transmitted to Salesforce and processed there.

Duration of storage
You can revoke your consent to the storage, processing and analysis of your personal data and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. There is a link for this in every newsletter. You can also inform us of your desire to do so at any time by sending an email tomail@schoeffel.com. We will store your registration data without double opt-in for one month.
Once you have unsubscribed, you will no longer receive any email newsletters (apart from a reminder of your opt-out). If we need to process your email address for any other reasons, your email address will be blocked for the newsletter.

You can object to tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link that you will find in every email or by informing us of this through a different contact channel. The information will be stored for as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we will store the data purely statistically and anonymously. Tracking is not possible if you have deactivated the display of images in your email program as default. In this case, the newsletter will not be displayed in full, and you may not be able to use all the functions. The above tracking will take place if you display the images manually.

F. Analysis tools, remarketing and targeting

F. 1. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provides by Google Inc. (referred to in the following as "Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are small text files that are placed on your computer, to help analyse how users use the website.

The information generated by the cookie about how you use this website is usually transmitted to  a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymisation on these websites, within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, Google will first shorten your IP address. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and Internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be combined with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. However, please note that in this event, you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie, referencing it to your use of the website (including your IP address), and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link:  Browser Add On to Deactivate Google Analytics

You can see the services' data data privacy regulations https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks?hl=de here: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks?hl=de

In addition or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking on this link. This installs an opt-out cookie on your device. This prevents Google Analytics from collecting data for this website and for this browser in the future as long as the cookie remains installed on your browser. You can make your cookie settings on our website under "Data settings" in the footer.

F. 2. Google AdWords Enhanced Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google AdWords will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies become invalid after 30 days, and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website before the cookie expires, we and Google can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Every Google AdWords customer is given a different cookie, so cookies cannot be tracked via AdWords customer websites. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. In addition, the email address is transmitted anonymously to Google in compliance with data protection regulations with the aim of displaying more interest-based ads. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this purpose – for instance by setting your browser to generally deactivate the automatic setting of cookies or setting your browser so that cookies are blocked by the domain "googleleadservices.com". Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies unless you want measuring data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you will have to set the respective opt-out cookie again. You can make your cookie settings on our website under "Data settings" in the footer.

F. 3. Google Remarketing

This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. The function is used to present interest-based advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A cookie is set in the website visitor's browser that enables visitors to be recognised again when they call up any websites in the Google advertising network. Visitors may be shown advertisements on these pages that refer to content they have previously accessed on websites that use Google's remarketing function. Google has stated that it does not collect any personal data during this process.

If you still do not want to use Google's remarketing function, you can deactivate it generally by making the corresponding settings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the advertising network initiative by following the instructions at https://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

F. 4. Facebook Pixel / Custom Audiences

This website uses the "Visitor action pixel" of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook") for measuring conversions within our website. This means that users' behaviour can be tracked after they have clicked on a provider's Facebook ad and been redirected to their website. This method is used to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes, and can help to optimise future advertising measures.

The collected data is anonymous to us, so we are unable to draw any conclusions regarding user identity. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, which means it is possible to make a connection to the respective user profile, and Facebook can then use the data for its own advertising purposes as per  Facebook's Data Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). You can allow Facebook and its partners to place advertisements on and off Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes. Consent to the use of the visitor action pixel may only be given by users who are older than 13 years. If you are younger, please ask your legal guardian for permission.

F. 5. Facebook Remarketing

This website uses the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" of Facebook Inc. ("Facebook"). This function is used to present Facebook interest-based ads  ("Facebook ads") to visitors to this website when visiting the Facebook social network. Facebook's remarketing tag has been implemented on this website for this purpose. This tag establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers when you visit the website.

F. 6. Criteo Retargeting Technology

This website uses Internet retargeting technology. This makes it possible to specifically address those Internet users with advertising who are already interested in our online shop and our products. We know from studies that Internet users are more interested when personalised, interest-based advertising is displayed than in advertising without a personal reference. In retargeting, the advertising material is displayed following a cookie-based analysis of previous user behaviour. Of course, no personal data is stored here either, and the use of retargeting technology naturally also complies with the relevant legal data privacy regulations.

F. 7. Pinterest Retargeting Technology

This website uses the Pinterest retargeting function of Pinterest Europe Limited (Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland). The Pinterest tag (pixel) collects information on use (e.g. information on viewed articles) under the joint responsibility of Pinterest Europe Limited and Schöffel and transmits it to Pinterest Europe Limited. Under data protection law, the further processing of the data transmitted to Pinterest Europe Limited is the sole responsibility of Pinterest Europe Limited. The information that is transmitted to Pinterest Europe Limited may be assigned to you with the help of further information that Pinterest Europe Limited has stored about you, e.g. due to your ownership of an account on the social network "Pinterest". Based on the information collected via the pixel, interest-based advertisements may be displayed to you in your Pinterest account (retargeting). The information collected by the pixel may also be aggregated by Pinterest Europe Limited and the aggregated information used by Pinterest Europe Limited for its own and third-party advertising purposes. For instance, Pinterest Europe Limited may infer certain interests from your surfing behaviour on this website, and may also use this information to promote third-party offers. Pinterest Europe Limited may also combine the information collected via the pixel with other information that Pinterest Europe Limited has collected about you via other websites and / or in connection with the use of the social network "Pinterest", enabling Pinterest Europe Limited to store a profile about you. This profile may be used for advertising purposes.

If you do not want to use Pinterest's remarketing function, you can deactivate it generally by making the corresponding settings at

F. 9. Hotjar

We use the web analysis service Hotjar on our website. The operating company of the Hotjar component is Hotjar Ltd. Hotjar Ltd. is a European company that is based in Malta (Hotjar Ltd, Level 2, St Julians Business Centre, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julians STJ 1000, Malta, Europe). Its use is based on Article 6(1)(1)(f) of the GDPR.

The information is transmitted to the Hotjar servers in Ireland and stored there. The following information is collected with Hotjar:

• the IP address of your device (in an anonymised format);
• your email address including your first and last names, if you have provided us with them;
• the referring domain;
• pages visited;
• geographical location (country only);
• date and time our website was accessed;
• screen size of your device;
• device type and browser information.

We can use this tool to track movements on our website (using so-called heat maps). For instance, we can see how far users scroll and which buttons users click on and how often. The tool can also be used to obtain feedback directly from the website users. This support provides us with valuable information that then helps us to make our website even faster and more customer-friendly.

When using Hotjar, we pay particular attention to protecting your personal data. We can see which buttons are clicked, how it progresses, how far it scrolls, the screen size of the device, the device type and browser information, the geographical location (country only), and the preferred language for displaying our website. The areas of our website where your personal data or that of third parties is displayed are automatically hidden by Hotjar, and so cannot be seen at any time.

Hotjar offers each of our users the option of a "Do Not Track header" that prevents the use of Hotjar, so no data referring to the visit to the website is recorded. This is a setting that is supported by the current versions of every standard browser. For this purpose, your browser sends a request to Hotjar telling it to deactivate the tracking of the particular user. If you use our website with various browsers, you will have to set up the "Do Not Tracker header" separately for each browser / computer.

We have agreed an order processing contract with Hotjar for the transmission of data. Hotjar is also legally bound by the standard contractual clauses.

We can specify the groups of users to whom the advertisements are to be displayed more closely ("Custom Audiences"). For this purpose, personal data is shared with Facebook (including Instagram), Google, Pinterest and LinkedIn after pseudonymisation in accordance with SHA 256.

The processing of your data in the Salesforce Sales Cloud is based, where relevant, on our legitimate interest in using a CRM system as per Article 6(1)(1)(f) EU GDPR, otherwise on your consent as per Article 6(1)(1)(a) EU GDPR.

G. Other service providers

G. 1. YouTube

Our website contains various videos that provide you with information. When you visit a page that has an embedded video, a connection is established to the YouTube servers and the content stored on http://www.YouTube.com displayed on our website by notifying your browser. The videos are all integrated in the "extended data protection mode", i.e. no data about you as a user is transmitted to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Data is only transferred when you play the videos. We have no influence over this data transmission. When you visit the website, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage on our website, and personal data is transmitted to YouTube.

This happens regardless of whether YouTube has provided a user account that you are logged in on or not. If you are logged in as a member of YouTube, YouTube will assign this information to your personal user account. Your use of the service, such as clicking the start button of a video, is also assigned to your user account.

YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for advertising and market research purposes, and / or the needs-based design of its website. This evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users in the social network of your activities on our website.

Our videos are available to you in order to provide you with information on our services. Video playbacks require significant amounts of data. With a high number of visitors, it is necessary to provide a high-performance infrastructure. This is why the videos are integrated via YouTube.

When you visit the website, your personal data is transmitted to YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave., 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, a company of Google LLC, Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

You can prevent the reference to your account by logging out of your YouTube account and other user accounts of the YouTube LLC and Google Inc. companies, and deleting the companies' cookies from your browser. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles. You need to contact YouTube in order to exercise this right.

For further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by YouTube, please refer to its privacy policy, where you will also find further information on your rights and setting options for the protection of your privacy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

G. 2.Google Maps

The component "Google Maps" of Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, "Google" in the following, is used to display the location of stationary merchants.

Google sets cookies when displaying the merchant locations with the "Google Maps" component in order to process user settings and data when displaying the map and the associated functions. It is possible that Google's external servers in the USA may be used for this.

The connection allows Google to recognise the website from which a request is sent, and to which IP address the representation of the journey is transmitted.

If you do not agree with this, you have the option of setting the browser to prevent or limit the installation of cookies. Any cookies that have already been set can also be deleted at any time. The settings for this depend on the particular browser. With Flash cookies, rather than setting the browser to prevent processing, the appropriate settings need to be made in Flash player. If you prevent the installation of cookies or limit their processing, it may not be possible to fully use the display of the merchant locations.

The use of "Google Maps" and of the information obtained via "Google Maps" is carried out in accordance with Google's Terms of Use and the additional terms and conditions for Google Maps.

You can generally object to the future processing of the data concerning you, which is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, at any time under the terms of Article 21 of the FDPA. In particular, you may object to processing for direct marketing purposes.

If you do not agree to your data being processed, you can deactivate the service of "Google Maps" and in this way prevent the transmission of data to Google. To do so, you must deactivate the Java Script function in your browser. Please note, however, that in this event you will not be able to display maps. Google offers the following Opt-out function. You also have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles. You need to contact Google in order to exercise this right.

We use the services of the provider Vimeo LLC, based at 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011.

A connection to the Vimeo servers is created whenever you call up a Vimeo video. This tells the Vimeo servers which of our Internet pages you have visited. If you are logged in as a member of Vimeo, Vimeo will assign this information to your personal user account. When you click on the start button of a video, this information can also be assigned to an existing user account.
You can prevent the assignment to your account by logging out of your Vimeo user account before you use our website and deleting the companies' corresponding cookies. You can also prevent videos from playing by deactivating the "JavaScript" functionality in your browser. If you do so, though, you will not be able to watch any videos. Vimeo offers you the Opt-out function in its cookie policy.

The use of Vimeo is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest under the terms of Article (6)(1)(f) of the GDPR.

G. 6. ReCAPTCHA

We use the Google, Inc. "reCAPTCHA" service to protect the ordering process in our online shop. The use of this service lets us know whether the corresponding input is of human origin or is abusive from automated machine processing. To the best of our knowledge, the referrer URL, IP address, the behaviour of the website visitors, information on the operating system, browser and length of stay, cookies, display instructions and scripts, the user's input behaviour and mouse movements in the "reCAPTCHA" checkbox are passed on to "Google".

Google uses the information provided in this way e.g. to digitise books and other printed matter, and to optimise services such as Google Street View and Google Maps (e.g. house numbers and street name recognition). The IP address transmitted with "reCAPTCHA" will not be merged with other data from Google unless you are logged in to your Google account at the time of using the "reCAPTCHA" plug-in.

H. Legal basis for processing

When processing personal data with the data subject's consent, the legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(1)(a) of the GDPR.

When processing personal data that is required for the performance of a contract in which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(1)(b) of the GDPR is the legal basis. This regulation also includes processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

If the personal data needs to be processed for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(1)(c) of the GDPR is the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary in order to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first interest, Article 6(1)(1)(f) of the GDPR is the legal basis for processing. The legitimate interest of our company lies in the execution of our business activities and in the analysis, optimisation and maintenance of the security of our online offer.

I. Data security

All personal data is encrypted before it leaves your PC and is transmitted via the Internet. Schöffel uses the recognised "Secure Socket Layer" (SSL) transmission with 256-bit encryption for this purpose. This means that no outsiders are able to read the encrypted information on your order, your name, your address, your credit card or your bank details or any other data transmitted to us (on our website) .

J. Links to other websites

Our website contains links to other websites. We have no influence over whether their operators comply with the data privacy regulations. Even though the content is carefully checked first, we are unable to assume any liability for external links to third-party content.

K. Retention periods

Personal data is only kept for as long as is necessary for the processing purposes described except when shorter or longer retention periods are permitted by law.

Under the terms of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the Fiscal Code (AO), we are subject to various legal retention and documentation obligations. The retention or documentation periods specified in the respective legal order may continue for between 6 and 10 years after the end of the business relationship or pre-contractual legal relationship.

It is also possible that a longer retention period may be required. This would be the case, for instance, in the event of preservation of evidence within the framework of the statute of limitations, when the regulation limitation period is three years but may also apply for up to 30.

L. Changes to our Data Privacy Regulations

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy from time to time so that it always complies with current legal requirements, or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, for instance if we introduce new services. The new privacy policy, which we will publish here, will then apply for your new visit.
