This data protection declaration informs users about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the responsible provider Twin Verlag, Gregor Gerlich, Thyssenstr. 24, 13407 Berlin (see also imprint ) on this website.

The legal basis of data protection can be found in the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

 

​

1. Definition

Personal data within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) are individual details worthy of protection about personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person, e.g. name, address, e-mail address, date of birth etc., but also according to current case law including IP addresses and location data.

 

What does that mean?

 

Any information that is suitable to identify a person is to be regarded as worthy of protection.

 

 

2. Collection of personal data on the website

Due to the way the Internet works, it is necessary that the IP addresses of visitors to my web server are collected, temporarily stored and processed. After the connection is terminated, however, these are no longer saved.

 

For analysis and performance purposes, in addition to anonymized (and therefore no longer personally identifiable) IP addresses, further technical information about the device with which my website is accessed, such as the type and version of the browser you are accessing, your operating system, referrer ( from which website they were forwarded to me), as well as partially system configuration, date and time information collected and stored.

Access logging does not take place. For the purpose of averting danger, however, it can be switched on temporarily until the time the danger is eliminated. In this case, IP addresses are also collected and stored.

 

Further personal data is only collected on this website if you provide it to me of your own accord, for example by sending me an email using the contact form. This information is provided expressly on a voluntary basis and with your consent.

 

This website uses cookies. Cookies are small files that make it possible to save specific, device-related information on the user's access device (PC, smartphone, etc.). On the one hand, they serve the user-friendliness of websites and thus the users (e.g. saving login data). On the other hand, they are used to record statistical data on website usage and to be able to analyze them in order to improve the offer. Users can influence the use of cookies. Most browsers have an option to restrict or completely prevent the storage of cookies. However, it should be noted that the use and in particular the ease of use are restricted without cookies. You can save many online advertising cookies from companies via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices / manage.

 

The data entered during registration (creating a customer account) will be used for the purpose of using the offer. Users can be informed of information relevant to the offer or registration, such as changes to the scope of the offer or technical circumstances, by email. The data collected can be seen from the input mask during registration. This includes the name, full address and e-mail address for creating a customer account. In the case of special campaigns, additional information may also be requested that is necessary for carrying out the campaign (e.g. filling a personalized book box).

With the newsletter we inform you about us and our offers. If you would like to receive the newsletter, we need a valid email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address or that the owner agrees to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected. These data will only be used to send the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties. When you register for the newsletter, we save your IP address and the date of registration. This storage serves solely as evidence in the event that a third party misuses an email address and registers to receive the newsletter without the knowledge of the authorized person. You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time. The revocation can be made via a link in the newsletter itself, in your profile area or by sending a message to the contact options above.

 

What does that mean?

 

Of course, every (!) Website collects and processes personal data. The screen resolution of your device tells our server, for example, in what size it should deliver the content to you. Some operating systems and browsers need special commands, displays and settings in order to display a homepage correctly. The browser can also signal whether the user needs a different color display, for example because of a (color) visual impairment, or a non-graphic display for the blind.

 

3. Use of personal data

The collection and processing of technical data serves exclusively to guarantee a smooth connection establishment and technical optimization purposes (e.g. responsive web design). The processing takes place exclusively on the web server. An evaluation by or transmission to third parties does not take place.

The data collected through the optional (in the event of an attack on IT system security or stability) access logging are used to identify attackers to my systems, to exclude them from further misuse of my systems and, if necessary, to initiate legal measures. In these cases, it can be passed on to the state investigative bodies. The data collected in this way will be stored until the facts have been legally clarified and in compliance with the relevant legal provisions and then deleted.

 

If you voluntarily enter data on the homepage via the contact form, as far as this concerns information about communication channels, you consent by implied behavior that we may contact you via this communication channel in order to answer your request. Any further use without your consent will not take place. This data is not stored on the web server.

We use your data so that you can purchase our products (fulfillment of contractual obligations) and to carry out the contractual relationship. In order to carry out the contractual relationship, we need your name, your address and your e-mail address in order to be able to contact you. We also accept order data from you (e.g. recipient addresses) and transmit this data to parcel services as instructed. The purposes of data processing are primarily based on the respective service. The legal basis for data processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter b) of the General Data Protection Regulation.

Furthermore, we process your data within the framework of legal obligations (e.g. tax law, commercial law) to which we are subject. The legal basis for data processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter c) of the General Data Protection Regulation.

 

We store your data for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected (e.g. in the context of a contractual relationship) or if this is required by law or by the authorities. In the context of a contractual relationship, we store your data at least until the contract has been completely terminated. The data will then be stored for the duration of the statutory retention periods.

 

4. Legal basis for the collection and processing

The collection and processing of technical personal data takes place on the basis of Article 6 (1) b) GDPR (contract execution), taking into account Article 5 (1) c) GDPR (data minimization).

The optional temporary access logging for security purposes is based on Article 6 (1) f) GDPR (legitimate interests) and § 24 (1) BDSG (security and civil law claims), taking into account Article 13 (1) d) GDPR (naming legitimate interests) Interests).

The collection of voluntarily entered personal data is based on Article 6 (1) a) GDPR (consent). This data is stored on the basis of applicable archiving regulations, e.g. Section 257 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) for the duration specified in the relevant regulations.

 

5. Data transfer

We only pass on data if the customer has given consent to the transfer, if it is absolutely necessary for the fulfillment of the order or if statutory regulations or court titles require it. The transfer of data for order fulfillment is mainly based on the type and scope of the order.

There are mainly the following named recipients: parcel deliverers and shipping companies, but also tax advisors (company accounting), tax offices (tax accounting) and possibly other responsible offices.

If a third party is used for services in connection with processing processing, the statutory provisions will be complied with. The data communicated by the customer by way of the order will only be processed to establish contact within the framework of contract processing and only for the purpose for which the customer made the data available.
