Privacy Policy

BESTZEIT is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. We use your personal information only to manage your account and to provide you with the products and services you request. From time to time, we may contact you about our products and services and other content that may be of interest to you.

BESTZEIT is very concerned about the privacy and security of personal data. Technical and organizational measures have been taken to ensure that data protection regulations are observed both by BESTZEIT and by external service providers. In the following, we would like to inform you about the data we register and the purposes for which we use this data.

PERSONAL DATA

According to the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), personal data is individual information about personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person, such as name, profession or age. Not affected by this, on the other hand, is sufficiently anonymized information that cannot be assigned to a specific person, such as statistics on usage behavior using anonymized IP addresses.

Personal data can only be collected if you provide it of your own accord, for example to carry out an order, a survey or a registration. You will be informed about the intended processing purpose and, if necessary, asked for your consent to store it. This data is encrypted before transmission and processing to protect it from access by unauthorized persons. The data you provide will be treated confidentially and will not be made available to third parties either by us or by persons commissioned by us. Unless this is required or permitted by law, you have given us your consent or there is an official order to do so.

The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. As far as on our sides personal data (such as name, address or e-mail addresses) are collected, this is as far as possible on a voluntary basis. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

We point out that data transmission over the Internet (eg communication by e-mail) security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation by third parties for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby expressly prohibited. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam mails.

Disclosure of personal data to third parties

We use your personal data only within our company. If data is passed on to service providers as part of an order data processing, we also oblige them to comply with the BDSG. We will only pass on your data to bodies entitled to receive information if we are obliged to do so by law or by court order.

USE OF CONTACT DATA

If you send us an e-mail or fill out one of our online forms, your personal data, such as name, e-mail address or areas of interest, will be used exclusively for correspondence with you, for example to send you requested information or documents. Any other use will only be for the purposes to which you have expressly consented in the respective form. Your data will not be passed on to third parties. A comparison of the data collected in this way with data that may be collected by other components of our site also does not take place. E-mail addresses are not used to send unsolicited e-mails without your consent.

SERVER DATA (SERVER LOG FILES)

For technical reasons, the following data, among others, which your Internet browser transmits to us or to our web space provider, is collected (so-called server log files):

- browser type and version
- Operating system used
- Website from which you visit us (referrer URL)
- Website that you visit
- Date and time of your access
- Your Internet Protocol (IP) address.

This anonymous data is stored separately from any personal data you may have provided and thus does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about a specific person. They are evaluated for statistical purposes in order to be able to optimize our Internet presence and our offers.

DATA TRANSMISSION - SSL ENCRYPTION

This website uses 256-bit SSL (SHA-256 RSA) encryption technology for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator. User data is transmitted exclusively in encrypted form, which means that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. This includes the IP address of the user. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from http:// to https:// as well as by the lock symbol in your browser line.

USE OF GOOGLE MAPS

This website uses Google Maps to display an interactive map. Google Maps is operated by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of automatically collected data and data provided by you by Google, one of its agents or third parties.

USE OF GOOGLE WEBFONTS

We use "Google Web Fonts" on our website, a service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as: "Google"). Google Web Fonts enables us to use external fonts, so-called Google Fonts. For this purpose, the required Google Font is loaded into the browser cache by your web browser when you call up our website. This is necessary so that your browser can display a visually improved representation of our texts. If your browser does not support this function, a standard font will be used by your computer for display. The integration of these web fonts is done by a server call, usually at a Google server in the USA. This transmits to the server which of our Internet pages you have visited. The IP address of the browser of your terminal device is also stored by Google. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected and processed by Google through the use of Google Web Fonts. We use Google Web Fonts for optimization purposes, in particular to improve the use of our website for you and to make its design more user-friendly. This is also our legitimate interest in the processing of the above data by the third-party provider. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Google has submitted to the Privacy Shield agreement concluded between the European Union and the USA and has certified itself. Google thereby undertakes to comply with the standards and regulations of European data protection law.

We use "Google Analytics" on our website, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as: "Google"). Google uses cookies, i.e. small text files that are stored on your terminal device and enable an analysis of your use of our website.

In doing so, pseudonymous usage profiles can be created from the processed data. The IP address transmitted when using Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. We only use Google Analytics with the activated IP anonymization described above. This means that your IP address is only processed by Google in a shortened form. A personal reference can thus be excluded. We use Google Analytics to analyze the use of our website and to continuously improve individual functions and offers as well as the user experience. Through the statistical evaluation of user behavior, we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. This is also our legitimate interest in the processing of the above data by Google. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. You can prevent the storage of cookies generated by Google Analytics by making the appropriate settings in your web browser. In this respect, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our website. If you wish to prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your user behavior (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google, you can download and install the web browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. In order to oblige Google to process the transmitted data only in accordance with our instructions and to comply with the applicable data protection regulations, we have concluded an order processing agreement with Google. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the Privacy Shield Agreement concluded between the European Union and the USA and has certified itself. Google thereby undertakes to comply with the standards and regulations of European data protection law.

USE OF THE FACEBOOK PIXEL

We use a so-called Facebook pixel on our website to analyze and optimize our offer on www.bestzeit.de and the online store sweatpack.bestzeit.de. This is operated by Facebook Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are a resident of the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).

With the help of the Facebook pixel, it is possible for Facebook, on the one hand, to determine the visitors to our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of users and do not have a harassing effect. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion").

The Facebook pixel is currently set.

The processing of data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook's data usage policy. Accordingly, general information on the display of Facebook ads, in Facebook's data usage policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. For specific information and details about the Facebook Pixel and how it works, see Facebook's help section: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.

You can opt-out of the Facebook Pixel's collection and use of your data to display Facebook Ads. To adjust which types of ads are displayed to you within Facebook, you can visit the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there on the settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings are platform-independent, which means that they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

E-MAIL SECURITY

The user agrees to electronic communication as soon as he himself establishes electronic contact with BESTZEIT. The user is advised that e-mails can be read or changed on the transmission path without authorization and without being noticed.

BESTZEIT uses software to filter unwanted e-mails (spam filter). The spam filter can reject e-mails if they have been falsely identified as spam by certain characteristics.

LIABILITY FOR LINKED CONTENT

Our website contains links to other offers. We have no influence on how the providers of the linked websites handle the information shown on these pages. If you have any questions about this, please contact the third parties directly. We are not responsible for compliance with data protection regulations or the content of these websites.
