a.) Scope of the personal data processing

As a matter of principle, we only process your personal data to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functioning website and our services.

b.) Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar, as we ask for the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data that is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which the concerned person is party, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Insofar the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) c GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the person concerned or another natural person require processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

c.) Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

6. Social media buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Youtube, LinkedIn

 On the basis of Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f GDPR, we offer you the option of using so-called “social media buttons” on our website. However, to protect your data, we use the so-called “Shariff solution”. This means that these buttons are only integrated on the website as a graphic that contains a link to the corresponding website of the button provider. By clicking on the graphic, you are thus redirected to the services of the respective provider. Only then your data will be sent to the respective providers. If you do not click on the graphic, no exchange takes place between you and the providers of the social media buttons. Information about the collection and use of your data in the social networks can be found in the respective terms of use of the corresponding providers. You can find more information about the Shariff solution under: http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html

 

 

7. Analysis/tracking tools

 The tracking measures listed below and used by us are only carried out with your prior consent on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. With the tracking measures used, we want to ensure a needs-oriented design and the continuous optimisation of our website. On the other hand, we use the tracking measures to record statistically the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offer for you.

The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tracking tools.

 

a.) Google Analytics

For the purpose of a needs-oriented design and continuous optimisation of our websites, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter “Google”). Google has been certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thus offers a sufficient guarantee to maintain an adequate level of data protection in the sense of the GDPR.

In this context, pseudonymous user profiles are created and cookies (see point 5.) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website such as

The Browser type/version,

The operating system used,

 The Referrer URL (the previously visited page),

The host name of the accessing computer (IP address),

The time of the server request, are usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

IP anonymisation

We have set IP anonymisation for Google Analytics on our website. This means that Google will shorten your IP address beforehand in member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Therefore, your IP address is always anonymised so that it cannot be assigned (so-called IP masking).

Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating the use of our website, compiling reports on website activities and providing us with other services related to website activity and internet use for the purposes of market research and tailoring our website to our needs. This information may also be transferred to third parties as long as this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data.

However, even after you have given your consent you can prevent cookies from being stored in the future by setting your browser software accordingly (see point 5.).

Furthermore, even after you have given your consent, you can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of our website (including your IP address) and from processing this data for the future by downloading and installing the browser add-on available at the following link. The current link is: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

 

Order data processing

We have concluded an order data processing contract with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities for the use of Google Analytics. Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found, for example, in the Google Analytics Help https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

b.) Google AdWords conversion tracking

In order to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our website for you, we also use Google Conversion Tracking. In this process, Google will set a cookie (see point 5.) on your computer for a short period of time if you have accessed our website via a Google advertisement.

These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the AdWords customer’s website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked via AdWords customers’ websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for convention tracking. AdWords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on your ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a convention tracking tag. However, they will not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking procedure, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, via a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com. Google’s privacy policy on conversion tracking can be found here: https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html

 

 

8. Notes on the integration of videos

 We like to use videos on our website on the basis of Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f GDPR in order to make content easier to understand, to present it in an appealing way and to make our website better known through this. Since local hosting of videos is not powerful enough, we use the option of external video providers. The underlying purpose is to be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR.

We use the providers Vimeo and YouTube for the integration of videos.

Vimeo is operated by Vimeo, LLC with headquarters at 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011.

YouTube is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

Normally, when you visit a page with embedded videos, your IP address is already sent to the respective video provider and cookies are installed on your computer. However, we have embedded our videos with the extended data protection mode. This means that a connection to the servers of the respective provider will only be established when you call up a page of this website equipped with a YouTube or Vimeo video and also start playback of the video. Only then will the provider’s server be informed which specific page of our website was visited. For the use of data from your browser or terminal device, we also refer to the respective data protection notices of the providers who are responsible for the corresponding data processing.

If you are logged in to one of the providers with your own user account, your surfing behaviour will also be assigned to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of the account with the respective provider beforehand.

For more information on data processing and data protection by Vimeo please visit https://vimeo.com/privacy

For more information on data processing and data protection by YouTube please visit https://policies.google.com/privacy

The use of the two named providers of video functions is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. We have a legitimate interest in the most appealing design and presentation of our content and in an extensive visibility in social media.

YouTube and Vimeo have submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield and thereby offer a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law, www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework

 

 

9. Embedding of fonts

Google Web Fonts

We have integrated the “Google Fonts” service for the display of fonts. This service is provided by Google. For the integration, a processing of your IP address is technically necessary so that the content can be sent to your browser. Therefore, your IP address is transmitted to Google. This data processing is carried out to protect our legitimate interest in the optimisation and economic operation of our website and is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield and thereby offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law, www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework

 

 

10. Amazon affiliate programme

 On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the economic operation of our online offer in the sense of Art. 6 para 1 lit. f. GDPR) we are participants in the Amazon EU S.à r.l. affiliate programme which was designed to place advertisements and links to Amazon.de on external websites and which enables us to earn advertising fees through this (so-called affiliate system). Amazon EU S.à r.l uses cookies to track the origin of orders. Amazon EU S.à r.l can recognise among other things, that you have clicked on the affiliate link on our website and subsequently purchased a product on Amazon.

For more information on Amazon’s use of data and ways to object, please see the company’s privacy policy:

12. Right of objection

In the latter case, you have a general right of objection, which we will implement without specifying a particular situation.

If you wish to exercise your right of revocation or objection, simply send an email to office@feng-shui.de

 

13. Data security

On our website, we use the Transport Layer Security procedure, more widely known under the name of its predecessor Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), as a hybrid encryption protocol for secure data transmission on the Internet, in conjunction with the highest security level supported by your browser. As a rule, this is 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can tell whether an individual (sub)page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form from the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the status bar of your browser. In addition, we use appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties.
