Detailed Data Protection Information

General
As the party responsible for processing your data, [ALSO Company Name and complete address] has implemented a large number of technical and organisational measures with the aim of ensuring that your personal data processed via these websites is provided with all round security, if possible. Nevertheless, internet-based data transfers may, as a matter of principle, give rise to security gaps, so that total security cannot be guaranteed. For this reason every person concerned shall be at liberty to send us personal data by other means as well, over the telephone, for example.

Which data do we record and how do we use it?
We record the IP address from which you access our website, the browser version used, date and time of access, the website from which you accessed our website (Referrer).
The data recorded by this method will be used for data security purposes and to protect you against hacking attacks on our website infrastructure and for statistical analysis.
This data will not be used to create individual user profiles and it will not be forwarded to third parties.
Other data will also be recorded when you log in with ALSO: notably, your name, contact details, payment details, address and order details.

Cookies: We use cookies for specific offers. Cookies are small data files saved on your computer. This enables us to identify if you have already visited our website previously from the same computer.

Session Cookies are cookies which are only saved on your computer for the duration of an internet session and which are needed for transactions. These session cookies serve only to control the connection and navigation and make surfing on our websites user-friendly for you (e.g. for handling a purchase while you are logged in on our shop systems). Session cookies will be deleted again when you terminate your browser session.

For certain offers we use persistent cookies, which serve to identify visitors who have already visited the website previously and are saved on your computer for future sessions. These cookies will be valid for between 6 and 24 months (e.g. if a persistent cookie is required so that your surfing patterns are not recorded by tracking tools).

You have the option of adjusting your browser setting so that these cookies are not even saved in the first place or that cookies will be deleted at the end of your internet session. Please note however, that in this case it is possible that you will not be able to use all the functions on our website.

No other personal details will be recorded, unless you have disclosed such information voluntarily.

Where will my data be processed?

Your data will be processed within the EU. Data processing will also take place outside Europe within legal limits.

Data security
We have implemented extensive technical and organisational measures as required by the Basic European Data Protection Regulations (EU-DSGVO) to protect your data.

Forwarding data
We shall forward data required to state authorities requesting it in fulfilment of our statutory obligations. Other than this we shall not forward any personal data, unless you have granted your consent thereto.

Analysis of user usage patterns

Webtrekk:
ALSO uses Webtrekk on your webpages. It is a web analysis service provided by the company Webtrekk GmbH. Some data recorded when you visit our website will be processed for statistical analysis. This statistical analysis helps us to optimise our product as necessary. Webtrekk GmbH is certified for data protection in web controlling. Your IP address will be transferred on the occasion of each server enquiry. Your IP address will only be stored in anonymous format when doing so. As a matter of principle it will not be possible to work out who you are. Your data is collected by setting up a pixel which is incorporated on your website. Webtrekk uses so-called session cookies, as well as last-click cookies, which are deleted when you terminate your browser session. In addition to this, Webtrekk sets so-called ever-cookies, which last no longer than 6 months and are deleted after a set number of uses at the latest. Webtrekk does not merge this user data together with other data from the anonymised person. This data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed to produce usage analysis or if the user requests deletion.

Google Analytics:
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Inc, (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google will use this information as instructed by the operator of this website to analyse how you use this website and to render services associated with the use of the website and internet usage for the website operator. We would draw your attention to the fact that Google Analytics was extended on this website by the code "anonymizeIp" in order to ensure that IP addresses are logged in anonymous format (so-called IP-Masking). Your IP address will be abbreviated beforehand by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the European Economic Area agreement. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent by Google to a server in the USA and abbreviated there. The IP addresses passed over by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged together with other Google data.

The legal basis underpinning the use of Google Analytics is Section 15 Para 3 of the German Telemedia Act [TMG] and Article 6 Para 1 f DSGVO. Meetings and campaigns will be terminated after a specific period of time has lapsed. Normally meetings will be terminated after 30 minutes without activity and campaigns after six months. The time limit set for campaigns may be for up to a maximum of two years. You can consult more detailed information about the terms and conditions of use and data protection here at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/. Google Analytics uses so-called cookies, which are textfiles stored on your computer and enable an analysis to be conducted on the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about your usage pattern for this website will as a rule be sent by Google to a server in the USA and saved there. You may prevent the cookies from being stored by setting your browser software accordingly; we would, however, point out that in this case it is possible that you will not be able to have full use of all the functions on this website. In addition to this, you may prevent the data generated by the cookie relating to how you use the website (including your IPaddress) being sent to Google as well as prevent this data being used by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

[There may possibly be other tracking tools, depending on which country you are in]

You may object to your visitor data being stored in anonymised format, so that you are no longer logged in future. A persistent cookie will be set to preclude web controlling. This objection will apply until you delete the cookie.
