2. Legal bases

The data protection term “personal data” refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable person. We process personal data in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations, in particular the GDPR and the BDSG. Data processing by us only takes place on the basis of legal permission. We only process personal data with your consent (Section 25 (1) TDDDG or Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), to fulfill a contract to which you are a party or at your request to carry out pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR), to fulfill a legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) or if processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of personal data (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

If you apply for an open position in our company, we also process your personal data to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship (Section 26 para. 1 sentence 1 BDSG or Art. 6 para. 1 letter b GDPR).

3. duration of storage

Unless otherwise stated in the following information, we only store the data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purpose of processing or to fulfill our contractual or legal obligations.
Such statutory retention obligations may arise in particular from commercial or tax law regulations.
From the end of the calendar year in which the data was collected, we will store such personal data contained in our accounting data for ten years and store personal data contained in commercial letters and contracts for six years.
In addition, we will retain data in connection with consents requiring proof and with complaints and claims for the duration of the statutory limitation periods.
We will delete data stored for advertising purposes if you object to processing for this purpose.

4. categories of recipients of the data

We use processors in the context of processing your data. The processing operations carried out by such processors include, for example, hosting, e-mail dispatch, maintenance and support of IT systems, customer and order management, order processing, accounting and billing, marketing measures or file and data carrier destruction. A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller. Processors do not use the data for their own purposes, but carry out the data processing exclusively for the controller and are contractually obliged to guarantee suitable technical and organizational measures for data protection. We may also transfer your personal data to bodies such as postal and delivery services, your bank, tax consultants/auditors or the tax authorities. Further recipients may result from the following information.

5. data transfer to third countries

Our data processing may involve the transfer of certain personal data to third countries, i.e. countries in which the GDPR is not applicable law.
Such a transfer is permissible if the European Commission has determined that an adequate level of data protection is required in such a third country.
If there is no such adequacy decision by the European Commission, personal data will only be transferred to a third country if suitable guarantees are in place in accordance with Art.
Art. 46 GDPR or if one of the requirements of Art. 49 GDPR is met.

Unless there is an adequacy decision and unless otherwise stated below, we use the EU standard data protection clauses as appropriate safeguards for the transfer of personal data to third countries.
You have the option of receiving or viewing a copy of these EU standard data protection clauses.
Please contact us at the address given under Contact.

If you consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the transfer takes place on the legal basis of Art. 49 para.
1 letter a GDPR.

6. processing in the exercise of your rights

If you exercise your rights in accordance with Art. 15 to 22 GDPR, we process the personal data transmitted for the purpose of implementing these rights by us and to be able to provide proof of this.
We will only process data stored for the purpose of providing and preparing information for this purpose and for the purposes of data protection monitoring and will otherwise restrict processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR.

This processing is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR in conjunction with. Art. 15 to 22 GDPR and § 34 para. 2 BDSG.

7. your rights

• If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the provisions of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR.

8. right of objection

An IP address is assigned to every device connected to the Internet by the Internet provider so that it can send and receive data.
The following information applies to all websites operated under the responsibility of ROY ROBSON FASHION GmbH & Co KG.
If special data processing takes place on individual websites, this will be indicated accordingly.

a. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies (“cookies”) on our websites.
Cookies are small data records that are stored by your browser when you visit a website.
This identifies the browser used and can be recognized by web servers.
You have full control over the use of cookies through your browser.
You can delete cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.
You can object to the use of cookies through your browser settings in principle or for certain cases.

The use of cookies is in part technically necessary for the operation of our websites and is therefore permitted without the user’s consent. We may also use cookies to offer special functions and content and for analysis and marketing purposes. These may also include cookies from third-party providers (so-called third-party cookies). We only use such technically unnecessary cookies with your consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) TDDDG and, if applicable, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Information on the purposes, providers, technologies used, stored data and the storage duration of individual cookies can be found in the cookie settings link [borlabs-cookie type=”btn-cookie-preference” title=”Cookie settings” element=”link” /]

of our Consent Management Tool.

b. Consent Management Tool

Our websites use the Borlabs Consent Management Tool from Borlabs GmbH (Germany, EU) to control cookies and the processing of personal data.

The consent banner enables users of our websites to give their consent to certain data processing operations or to withdraw their consent.
By confirming the “Accept all” button or by saving individual cookie settings, you consent to the use of the associated cookies.
The legal basis under data protection law is your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para.

The banner also helps us to provide evidence of the declaration of consent.
For this purpose, we process information about the declaration of consent and other log data relating to this declaration.
Cookies are also used to collect this data.
The processing of this data is necessary in order to be able to prove that consent has been given.
The legal basis arises from our legal obligation to document your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 letter c in conjunction with Art. 7 para. 1 GDPR).

Here you can revoke your consent for cookies: Link

c. Meta pixel

We use Meta Pixel, a meta business tool from Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (Ireland, EU), on our websites. Information on the contact details of Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. and the contact details of the data protection officer of Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. can be found in the data policy of Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.

The meta pixel is a JavaScript code snippet that enables us to track the activities of visitors on our websites.
This tracking is called conversion tracking.
The meta pixel collects and processes the following information (so-called event data) for this purpose:

• Information on the actions and activities of visitors to our websites, such as searching for and viewing a product or purchasing a product;
• Specific pixel information such as the pixel ID and the Facebook cookie;
• Information on buttons clicked by visitors to the websites;
• Information present in the HTTP headers, such as IP addresses, information about the web browser, the location of the page and the referrer;

Some of this event data is information that is stored on the device you are using.
In addition, the meta pixel also uses cookies to store information on the device you are using.
Such storage of information by the meta pixel or access to information that is already stored on your device only takes place with your consent in accordance with Section 25 para.
1 TDDDG.

The event data collected via the meta pixel is used to target our advertisements and to improve ad delivery on meta products such as the social media platforms Facebook and Instagram, to personalize functions and content and to improve and secure the meta products.
For this purpose, the event data collected on our websites using the meta pixel is transmitted to Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.
This collection and transmission of event data is carried out by us and Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. as joint controllers.
We have entered into an agreement with Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. on processing as joint controllers, which sets out the allocation of data protection obligations between us and Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.
In this agreement, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. have agreed, among other things

• that we are responsible for providing you with all information acc.
  Art. 13, 14 GDPR on the joint processing of personal data;
• that Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. is responsible for enabling the rights of data subjects under Art. 15 to 20 GDPR with regard to the personal data stored by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. following joint processing.

We have also commissioned Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. to prepare reports on the impact of our advertising campaigns and other online content (campaign reports) and to generate analyses and insights about users and their use of our websites, products and services (analyses) on the basis of the event data collected via the meta pixel.
For this purpose, we transmit personal data contained in the event data to Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. The transmitted personal data is processed by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. as our processor in order to provide us with the campaign reports and analyses.

The collection and transfer of personal data by us to Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. and the commissioned processing of personal data by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. for the creation of analyses and campaign reports will only take place if you have given your prior consent.
