5. Processing the data of minors
Stricter legal requirements apply to the processing of the data of children or minors. We carefully examine and comply with these requirements.
All our offers are intended for adults of full legal age.
If we discover that we have unintentionally collected the data of children, we immediately erase this data, unless there are legal reasons not to do so. In all cases we block access to the data so that it can not be used for marketing purposes. Please inform us if you find that your child has used one of our online offers without your agreement.
If you provide us with your child/children’s data, we exclusively process the data for the purpose of the relevant offer and in accordance with your consent and/or the legal requirements.
If, in an individual case, one of our offers is addressed to children under the age of 16, we restrict data processing to the data reasonably required for use of the offer. We only store this data as long as necessary for the use of the offer. Furthermore, we display these offers with a note on data protection specially formulated for easy understanding by the target group.
In compliance with legal requirements, we only accept data transfers or consents to data processing from people under the age of 16 with the agreement of their legal custodian.
If, as an exception, we allow minors under the age of 16 to directly take part in prize draws, we only request the data that is absolutely necessary for the prize draw.
When processing the data of children and minors, we apply appropriate technical and organizational measures. We do not use this data for marketing purposes.
Children are not always able to understand the dangers of digital communication and providing data to third parties. Please explain this to your children and make them aware of the dangers. Keep an eye on your children’s online activities and take an active part in them!

6. Data processing when you visit our website
6.1. Controller responsible under data protection law
The controller responsible under data protection law for the provision of the website is the company named in the legal notice as the provider of the website. You can find the contact data in the legal notice as well as above under No. 1.2.
6.2. Data processing when you visit our website
If you visit our website simply to find out information, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only process the personal data your browser sends to our server. The data described below is technically necessary so that we can display our website to you and ensure its stability and security. This is why we must process this data. The legal basis is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. b, f of the GDPR.
This data is stored for the duration of the session and deleted after a maximum of 30 days.
6.3. Tools
We use various tools which can differ depending on the website. If the use of tools requires you consent, you can grant or revoke your consent as described under No. 8.4.
6.3.1. Web tracking with Google Analytics
a) Our websites use Google Analytics, a web tracking service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland (Google). We use this tool to analyze your user interactions on websites and in apps. We use the statistics and reports gained here to improve our service and tailor it to your interests as the user
b) We primarily track the interaction between you the user and our website using cookies, data about your device/browser, IP addresses, and website or app activities. Google Analytics also stores your internet protocol addresses to ensure the security of our service and to give us, as the website opera-tor, information about the country, region, or location of each user (IP location tracking). For your protection, we naturally use the IP masking function, which means that within the EU and EEA, Google truncates IP addresses by removing the last octet.
c) Google acts as a data processor for us and we have a contract with Google for this purpose. Usually, the information on your use of this website generated by the cookie and the (usually truncated) IP addresses are saved to a Google server in the USA and processed there. According to Google’s own information, for these cases it applies a standard comparable to the previous EU-US Privacy Shield. Google also assures that it observes the data protection laws applicable to international data transfer. Additionally, we have agreed standard contract clauses with Google. Their purpose is to ensure adherence to an appropriate data protection level in a third country.
d) The legal basis for the collection and processing of the information (for a maximum period of 14 months) is your consent (Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. a of the GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time without any effect on the permissibility of processing prior to your revocation. In apps, you can reset the ad ID under the Android or iOS settings. The easiest way to revoke consent is by changing your cookie settings (see No. 8.4) or installing the browser add-on from Google, which is available at: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
e) You can find more information about the services provided by Google Analytics at marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/. Google provides information about data processing in the context of the use of Google Analytics here: support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de. You can find general information about data processing, which according to Google also applies to Google Analytics, in Google’s privacy policy at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
6.3.2. Use of Google Ads
a) We use Google Ads in order to draw attention to our offers by means of advertising (so-called Google Ads). If you have reached our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will save a cookie on your terminal device. The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR, in other words, only with your consent.
b) The advertising material is supplied by Google via so-called ad servers. For this purpose, we and other websites use ad-server cookies which use certain parameters to measure success, such as the display of the advertisements, or clicks by the user. The Google Ads cookies saved on our website give us information on the success of our advertising campaigns. These cookies are not intended to identify you personally. As a rule, the following are saved to this cookie as analysis values: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), and opt-out information (note that a user does not want to be contacted again).
c) The cookies placed by Google enable Google to recognize your browser. If a user visits certain pag-es in the website of an Ads customer and the cookie stored on his or her computer has not yet ex-pired, Google and the customer can see the user has clicked on the ad and been directed to this website. Every Ads customer is allocated a different cookie. This means cookies cannot be traced via the websites of other Ads customers. The embedding of Ads means that Google receives a notifica-tion that you have called up the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can allocate the visit to your account. Even if you have not registered with Google or are not logged in, there is a possibility that the advertising provider may find your internet protocol address and save it.
d) Based on the marketing tools used, your browser automatically makes a direct connection with the Google server. We do not collect personal data ourselves in these advertising activities, but merely provide Google with the option of collecting the data. Google merely makes statistical evaluations available to us which tell us what ads were clicked how often and at what prices. We do not receive any further data collected from the use of the advertising material. In particular, we are unable to identify the users from this information.
e) You can revoke your consent at any time without any effect on the permissibility of the processing prior to your revocation. The easiest way to revoke consent is by changing your cookie settings (see No. 8.4) or using the following functions:
6.3.3. Google Conversion Tracking
a) We use Google Ads with the additional application Google Conversion Tracking. This enables us to check the success of our advertising campaigns. The ads are marked with a technical marker, e.g. an ID that allows us to determine how a user interacts with the ads after the initial click and whether they actually follow through on one of our offers. This gives us statistics about the total volume of readers of our ads, which ads are most popular, and if applicable also further information about results from the ad.
b) The legal basis for processing your data is again Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR, in other words only with your consent. You can disable or discontinue the conversion tracking function in the same way as described above for Google Ads.
6.3.4. Google Remarketing
a) We use Google Ads with the additional application Google Remarketing. This allows us to create ads based on information available about you and to address you again during your further use of the internet. This is done via the cookies saved when you access our offers (usually via cookies), which are used by Google to record your user behavior in visiting various websites, and in order to evaluate it in pseudonymized form. According to Google’s own statements, there is no merging of your per-sonal data with data collected as part of the remarketing process which may have been saved by Google.
b) The legal basis for processing your data is again Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR, in other words only with your consent. You can disable or discontinue the remarketing function in the same way as de-scribed above for Google Ads.
6.3.5. Advertising with Facebook (Pixel and Conversion Tracking)
a) On some websites, we continue to use advertising options from Facebook Inc. (Facebook). By em-bedding Facebook Pixel on our website, we can show users of our website and the Facebook social network our advertisements (Facebook ads) and measure and evaluate their success (conversion tracking). This link between Facebook and our website is enabled technically by Facebook Pixel. The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR, in other words, only with your consent.
b) Based on the marketing tools used, your browser automatically makes a direct connection with the Facebook server when you visit our website. We have no influence over the scope and further use of data collected by Facebook by means of this tool and therefore inform you according to the state of our knowledge: The embedding of Facebook Pixel means that Facebook receives a notification that you have called up the relevant page of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can allocate the visit to your account. Even if you have not registered with Facebook or are not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider may find your internet protocol address and other identifying data and use these to profile you.
c) The information collected is stored on Facebook servers, also in the USA. In such cases, according to its own information, the provider has adopted a standard that corresponds with the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has pledged to observe applicable data protection laws in international data trans-fer. We have agreed the so-called standard data protection clauses with Facebook which are de-signed to ensure an appropriate data protection level in the third country.
d) You can revoke your consent at any time without any effect on the permissibility of the processing prior to your revocation. The easiest way to revoke consent is by changing your cookie settings (see No. 8.4) Furthermore, you can revoke your consent via the provider’s function using this link (only if you are logged in): www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads.
e) You can find more information about data processing by Facebook from Facebook Inc., 1601 S California Ave, Palo Alto, California 94304, USA in its privacy policy here: www.facebook.com/about/privacy.
6.3.6. Embedded YouTube Videos
a) We have embedded YouTube videos into our websites. These are saved on http://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website. The legal basis for the display of the videos is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR, in other words, only with your consent.
b) When you visit the website, YouTube obtains the information that you have accessed the relevant sub-page of our website. Furthermore, the above-mentioned basic data such as IP address and timestamp are transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether you have a YouTube user account via which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data is allocated directly to your account. If you do not wish the data to be allocated to your YouTube profile, you will need to log out before activating the button. YouTube saves your data as a user profile and uses it for purposes of advertising, market research and/or to design its website to better reflect demand. Such an evaluation is made particularly to provide appropriate advertising (even for users who are not logged in) and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of this user profile, although you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.
c) The information saved is stored on Google servers, also in the USA. In such cases, according to its own information, the provider has adopted a standard that corresponds with the former EU-US Pri-vacy Shield and has pledged to observe applicable data protection laws in international data transfer. Furthermore, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with Google which are designed to ensure an appropriate data protection level in the third country.
d) You can revoke your consent at any time without any effect on the permissibility of the processing prior to your revocation. The easiest way to revoke consent is by changing your cookie settings (see No. 8.4).
e) You can find further information on the purpose and scope of the data collected and its processing by YouTube in the privacy policy. Here you can also obtain further information on your rights and setting options to protect your privacy: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
6.3.7. Embedded Google Maps
a) On some websites, we use Google Maps. This service means we can display interactive maps for you directly on the website and enable convenient use of the map function for you. The legal basis for the use of the maps is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR, in other words, only with your consent.
b) When you visit the website, Google obtains a notification that you have accessed the relevant sub-page of our website. Furthermore, the above-mentioned basic data such as IP address and timestamp are transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether Google has provided a user account via which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data is allocated directly to your account. If you do not wish the data to be allocated to your Google profile, you will need to log out before activating the button. Google saves your data as a user profile and uses it for purposes of advertising, market research and/or to design its website to better reflect demand. Such an evaluation is made particularly to provide appropriate advertising (even for users who are not logged in) and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website.

Here you can also obtain further information on the rights and setting options to protect your privacy in this matter: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
6.3.8. Address verification with Endereco
On our website we give you the option to verify, in real time, your entries in the address forms used for our web store. The purpose of this is to prevent any problems with the delivery of your ordered products due to incorrect information.
Furthermore, we aim to ensure that your contact information is valid so that we can send you information about your order or respond to any queries.
For the provision of these features, we use the service provider Endereco, registered address: Balthasar-Neumann-Straße 4b, 97236 Randersacker, Germany. This service provider processes your data exclusively in accordance with our instructions. The legal basis for the transmission, processing, and temporary storage of your data by this service provider is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, since it is absolutely necessary for the performance of the contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures that some of the data entered by you on the input screen is checked for accuracy. The following data is processed by the service provider:
- Address (country, city, postal code, street, house number if applicable)
The data is processed separately by the service provider and is not merged with other data. Your enquiries are deleted by the service provider as soon as the status of the submitted data has been determined and its storage in the web store has been completed, and at the latest after 30 days.
6.3.9. Friendly Captcha (Bot/Spam Protection)
We use the "Friendly Captcha" service on our website (www.friendlycaptcha.com).
This service is provided by Friendly Captcha GmbH, Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Woerthsee, Germany.
Friendly Captcha is a new type of privacy-friendly security solution to make it increasingly difficult for automated programs and scripts (so-called "bots") to use our website.
For this purpose, we have integrated a program code from Friendly Captcha into our website (e.g. for contact forms) so that the visitor's end device can establish a connection to Friendly Captcha's servers in order to receive a computational task from Friendly Captcha. The visitor's end device solves the computational task, which requires certain system resources, and sends the computation-al results to our web server. Our server contacts the Friendly Captcha server via an API and receives a response stating whether the puzzle was solved correctly by the end device. Depending on the re-sult, we can apply security rules to requests via our website and thus, for example, further process or reject them.
The data is used exclusively for the protection against spam and bots as described above.
Friendly Captcha does not set or read cookies on the visitor's end device.
IP addresses are only stored in hashed (one-way encrypted) form and do not allow us and Friendly Captcha to draw any conclusions about an individual person.
If personal data is stored, this data will be deleted after 30 days.
The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR in pro-tecting our website against abusive access by bots, i.e. spam protection and protection against at-tacks (e.g. mass requests).
Further information on data protection when using Friendly Captcha can be found at https://friendlycaptcha.com/legal/privacy-end-users/.

6.3. Tools
We use various tools which can differ depending on the website. If the use of tools requires you consent, you can grant or revoke your consent as described under No. 8.4.
6.3.1. Web tracking with Google Analytics
a) Our websites use Google Analytics, a web tracking service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland (Google). We use this tool to analyze your user interactions on websites and in apps. We use the statistics and reports gained here to improve our service and tailor it to your interests as the user
b) We primarily track the interaction between you the user and our website using cookies, data about your device/browser, IP addresses, and website or app activities. Google Analytics also stores your internet protocol addresses to ensure the security of our service and to give us, as the website opera-tor, information about the country, region, or location of each user (IP location tracking). For your protection, we naturally use the IP masking function, which means that within the EU and EEA, Google truncates IP addresses by removing the last octet.
c) Google acts as a data processor for us and we have a contract with Google for this purpose. Usually, the information on your use of this website generated by the cookie and the (usually truncated) IP addresses are saved to a Google server in the USA and processed there. According to Google’s own information, for these cases it applies a standard comparable to the previous EU-US Privacy Shield. Google also assures that it observes the data protection laws applicable to international data transfer. Additionally, we have agreed standard contract clauses with Google. Their purpose is to ensure adherence to an appropriate data protection level in a third country.
d) The legal basis for the collection and processing of the information (for a maximum period of 14 months) is your consent (Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. a of the GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time without any effect on the permissibility of processing prior to your revocation. In apps, you can reset the ad ID under the Android or iOS settings. The easiest way to revoke consent is by changing your cookie settings (see No. 8.4) or installing the browser add-on from Google, which is available at: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
e) You can find more information about the services provided by Google Analytics at marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/. Google provides information about data processing in the context of the use of Google Analytics here: support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de. You can find general information about data processing, which according to Google also applies to Google Analytics, in Google’s privacy policy at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
6.3.2. Use of Google Ads
a) We use Google Ads in order to draw attention to our offers by means of advertising (so-called Google Ads). If you have reached our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will save a cookie on your terminal device. The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR, in other words, only with your consent.
b) The advertising material is supplied by Google via so-called ad servers. For this purpose, we and other websites use ad-server cookies which use certain parameters to measure success, such as the display of the advertisements, or clicks by the user. The Google Ads cookies saved on our website give us information on the success of our advertising campaigns. These cookies are not intended to identify you personally. As a rule, the following are saved to this cookie as analysis values: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), and opt-out information (note that a user does not want to be contacted again).
c) The cookies placed by Google enable Google to recognize your browser. If a user visits certain pag-es in the website of an Ads customer and the cookie stored on his or her computer has not yet ex-pired, Google and the customer can see the user has clicked on the ad and been directed to this website. Every Ads customer is allocated a different cookie. This means cookies cannot be traced via the websites of other Ads customers. The embedding of Ads means that Google receives a notifica-tion that you have called up the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can allocate the visit to your account. Even if you have not registered with Google or are not logged in, there is a possibility that the advertising provider may find your internet protocol address and save it.
d) Based on the marketing tools used, your browser automatically makes a direct connection with the Google server. We do not collect personal data ourselves in these advertising activities, but merely provide Google with the option of collecting the data. Google merely makes statistical evaluations available to us which tell us what ads were clicked how often and at what prices. We do not receive any further data collected from the use of the advertising material. In particular, we are unable to identify the users from this information.
e) You can revoke your consent at any time without any effect on the permissibility of the processing prior to your revocation. The easiest way to revoke consent is by changing your cookie settings (see No. 8.4) or using the following functions:
- i) Appropriate setting of your browser software. The suppression of third-party cookies in particular means that you will not receive any ads from third party advertisers;
- ii) Setting your browser to block cookies from the domain „www.googleadservices.com“ www.google.de/settings/ads although this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies;
- iii) Using the link www.aboutads.info/choices , to deactivate the targeted ads of the advertising provid-ers that form part of the self-regulating “About Ads” campaign, although this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies;
- iv) Permanent deactivation in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browser via the link www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We must point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this offer to their full extent.
- v) You can find further information on privacy policy at Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland, here: www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy and hereservices.google.com/sitestats/de.html.
6.3.3. Google Conversion Tracking
a) We use Google Ads with the additional application Google Conversion Tracking. This enables us to check the success of our advertising campaigns. The ads are marked with a technical marker, e.g. an ID that allows us to determine how a user interacts with the ads after the initial click and whether they actually follow through on one of our offers. This gives us statistics about the total volume of readers of our ads, which ads are most popular, and if applicable also further information about results from the ad.
b) The legal basis for processing your data is again Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR, in other words only with your consent. You can disable or discontinue the conversion tracking function in the same way as described above for Google Ads.
6.3.4. Google Remarketing
a) We use Google Ads with the additional application Google Remarketing. This allows us to create ads based on information available about you and to address you again during your further use of the internet. This is done via the cookies saved when you access our offers (usually via cookies), which are used by Google to record your user behavior in visiting various websites, and in order to evaluate it in pseudonymized form. According to Google’s own statements, there is no merging of your per-sonal data with data collected as part of the remarketing process which may have been saved by Google.
b) The legal basis for processing your data is again Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR, in other words only with your consent. You can disable or discontinue the remarketing function in the same way as de-scribed above for Google Ads.
6.3.5. Advertising with Facebook (Pixel and Conversion Tracking)
a) On some websites, we continue to use advertising options from Facebook Inc. (Facebook). By em-bedding Facebook Pixel on our website, we can show users of our website and the Facebook social network our advertisements (Facebook ads) and measure and evaluate their success (conversion tracking). This link between Facebook and our website is enabled technically by Facebook Pixel. The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR, in other words, only with your consent.
b) Based on the marketing tools used, your browser automatically makes a direct connection with the Facebook server when you visit our website. We have no influence over the scope and further use of data collected by Facebook by means of this tool and therefore inform you according to the state of our knowledge: The embedding of Facebook Pixel means that Facebook receives a notification that you have called up the relevant page of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can allocate the visit to your account. Even if you have not registered with Facebook or are not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider may find your internet protocol address and other identifying data and use these to profile you.
c) The information collected is stored on Facebook servers, also in the USA. In such cases, according to its own information, the provider has adopted a standard that corresponds with the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has pledged to observe applicable data protection laws in international data trans-fer. We have agreed the so-called standard data protection clauses with Facebook which are de-signed to ensure an appropriate data protection level in the third country.
d) You can revoke your consent at any time without any effect on the permissibility of the processing prior to your revocation. The easiest way to revoke consent is by changing your cookie settings (see No. 8.4) Furthermore, you can revoke your consent via the provider’s function using this link (only if you are logged in): www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads.
e) You can find more information about data processing by Facebook from Facebook Inc., 1601 S California Ave, Palo Alto, California 94304, USA in its privacy policy here: www.facebook.com/about/privacy.
6.3.6. Embedded YouTube Videos
a) We have embedded YouTube videos into our websites. These are saved on http://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website. The legal basis for the display of the videos is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR, in other words, only with your consent.
b) When you visit the website, YouTube obtains the information that you have accessed the relevant sub-page of our website. Furthermore, the above-mentioned basic data such as IP address and timestamp are transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether you have a YouTube user account via which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data is allocated directly to your account. If you do not wish the data to be allocated to your YouTube profile, you will need to log out before activating the button. YouTube saves your data as a user profile and uses it for purposes of advertising, market research and/or to design its website to better reflect demand. Such an evaluation is made particularly to provide appropriate advertising (even for users who are not logged in) and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of this user profile, although you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.
c) The information saved is stored on Google servers, also in the USA. In such cases, according to its own information, the provider has adopted a standard that corresponds with the former EU-US Pri-vacy Shield and has pledged to observe applicable data protection laws in international data transfer. Furthermore, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with Google which are designed to ensure an appropriate data protection level in the third country.
d) You can revoke your consent at any time without any effect on the permissibility of the processing prior to your revocation. The easiest way to revoke consent is by changing your cookie settings (see No. 8.4).

6.3.7. Embedded Google Maps
a) On some websites, we use Google Maps. This service means we can display interactive maps for you directly on the website and enable convenient use of the map function for you. The legal basis for the use of the maps is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR, in other words, only with your consent.
b) When you visit the website, Google obtains a notification that you have accessed the relevant sub-page of our website. Furthermore, the above-mentioned basic data such as IP address and timestamp are transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether Google has provided a user account via which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data is allocated directly to your account. If you do not wish the data to be allocated to your Google profile, you will need to log out before activating the button. Google saves your data as a user profile and uses it for purposes of advertising, market research and/or to design its website to better reflect demand.

To do this, we first evaluate information on the website from which you registered for the newsletter and whether your registration occurred in connection with a particular campaign, for instance a competition. In addition, we evaluate your user behavior when we send the newsletter. To carry out this evaluation, the e-mails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, representing one-pixel image files that are activated when you open the newsletter and click on individual contents. For the evaluations, we allocate a unique ID to your e-mail address and possibly your name and other data as well as your interaction with the newsletter. This enables us to see whether and when you read the newsletter, what links in it you click, and to derive from this what your personal interests are in certain contents. If we can assign this information to you, e.g. through your customer account, we link the information to your customer account and your interactions with the website, for example what contents you have accessed or what orders you have placed. With the data gained in this way, we create a user profile in order to tailor the newsletter to your personal interests.
This information is stored for as long as you subscribe to the newsletter. After you unsubscribe, we erase your personal data or save it anonymously and in a purely statistical form.
As with other personal data processing, we only personalize the newsletter based on your express consent (Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR).

7.12. Data processing for job applications
7.12.1. Controller responsible under data protection law
Ravensburger AG is the controller responsible under data protection law (contact details above under No.1.2).
7.12.2. Processing in connection with your application
a) If you apply for a job with us, we store and use your data exclusively for the filling of the position for which you have applied. We treat your data confidentially and do not disclose it to third parties. Only authorized employees in the Human Resources department and the functional department in which you wish to work can view your application data.
b) If you apply online via the application form on our Careers page, your data is transferred to us in encrypted form according to the latest technology and stored in our applicant management system. If you apply in writing, we transfer your applicant data manually into our applicant management system and scan the documents you have sent to us, e.g. CV, references, and certificates. Then we send your original documents back to you. As soon as you have successfully submitted your application to us and we have your data in our system, we process your application.
c) If you want to withdraw your application during the ongoing application process, you can contact us at any time at [email protected].
The legal basis for data processing in our application procedure is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. b of the GDPR.
d) If your application is successful and you start a job at Ravensburger, we store your application data in your personnel file. If you withdraw your application or if we reject it, we erase your data from our system, unless statutory data storage regulations apply (in particular the obligation to provide evidence according to the General Anti-Discrimination Act (AGG), or the statutory storage period of 10 years for the refunding of travel expenses).
7.12.3. Inclusion in our pool of applicants
a) Often, great personalities apply who would fit in perfectly with our Ravensburger family, both in terms of specialist skills and personality, but at the time we have no suitable vacancy for them. If you are one of these people, we ask you in a separate e-mail whether we can keep your personal data in our system for a longer period. If you consent to this, we keep you in our pool of applicants for a maximum of 18 months. This means we can contact you actively at a later date.
b) The legal basis for the data processing in our pool of applicants is your consent. You can revoke this at any time. Simply send a brief, informal mail to our Human Resources department ([email protected]).
c) If no employment relationship ensues in the following 18 months, we erase your data from our system. This happens automatically and without any particular notification or further archiving.
