3.) GENERAL NOTES AND MANDATORY INFORMATION

DATA PROTECTION The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data includes data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by e-mail) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

CONTROLLER INFORMATION The controller for data processing on this website is: BayPack Vertrieb GmbH Bahnhofstraße 30 87778 Stetten Phone: 08261/ 73111-0 Email: Datenschutz@baypack.eu The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

DATA RETENTION Unless a specific storage period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data remains with us until the purpose for data processing is no longer applicable. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply.

DATA TRANSFER TO THE USA AND OTHER THIRD COUNTRIES On our website, tools from companies located in the USA or other countries without sufficient data protection may be integrated. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that in these countries, a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU may not be guaranteed. For example, US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action against this. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

WITHDRAWAL OF YOUR CONSENT TO DATA PROCESSING Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

RIGHT TO OBJECT TO DATA COLLECTION IN SPECIAL CASES AND TO DIRECT MARKETING (ART. 21 GDPR) IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, INCLUDING PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING, INCLUDING PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR).

RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH THE SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY You have the right to have data, which we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, handed over to you or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you require the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

SSL OR TLS ENCRYPTION For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

ENCRYPTED PAYMENTS ON THIS WEBSITE If after the conclusion of a paid contract, there is an obligation to provide us with your payment details (e.g., account number for direct debit authorization), this data is required for payment processing. Payment transactions via common means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are made exclusively via encrypted SSL or TLS connections. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. When payments are encrypted, your payment data, which you send to us, cannot be read by third parties.

INFORMATION, DELETION, AND CORRECTION Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to correct or delete this data. For further questions on personal data, you can contact us at any time.

RIGHT TO RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the examination, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have filed an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, an evaluation of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it is not clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

OBJECTION TO PROMOTIONAL EMAILS We hereby expressly prohibit the use of contact data published in the context of website legal notice requirements with regard to sending promotional and informational materials not expressly requested. The website operators reserve the right to take specific legal action if unsolicited advertising material, such as email spam, is received.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS This website uses features of the Google Analytics web analytics service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics allows the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of stay, operating systems used, and the user’s origin. These data may be consolidated by Google into a profile assigned to the respective user or their device. Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). Information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transferred to a server in the United States and stored there. The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and advertising.

Data transfer to the United States is based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

IP ANONYMIZATION We have enabled IP anonymization on this website. As a result, your IP address will be shortened by Google within the member states of the European Union or other contracting states of the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the United States. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide other services related to website usage and internet usage.

DEMOGRAPHIC FEATURES IN GOOGLE ANALYTICS This website uses the “demographic features” of Google Analytics to display tailored ads within the Google advertising network to website visitors. This allows reports to be generated that contain information about the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can disable this feature at any time in your Google account’s ad settings or generally prohibit Google Analytics from collecting your data as described in the “Objection to data collection” section. GOOGLE ANALYTICS E-COMMERCE TRACKING This website uses Google Analytics’ “E-commerce tracking” feature. With E-commerce tracking, the website operator can analyze the purchasing behavior of website visitors to improve their online marketing campaigns.

In addition, targeted ads can be displayed based on user data existing at Google (e.g., location data and interests). We, as website operators, can quantitatively evaluate this data by analyzing, for example, which search terms have led to the display of our ads and how many clicks on corresponding ads have resulted. The use of Google Ads is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effectively marketing its products. Data transfer to the United States is based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.

Google Remarketing analyzes user behavior on our website (e.g., clicking on certain products) to classify users into specific advertising target groups and subsequently display relevant ad messages to them when visiting other online offerings (Remarketing or Retargeting). Furthermore, the advertising target groups created with Google Remarketing can be linked to cross-device functions of Google. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been customized based on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g., mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC).

7.) PLUGINS AND TOOLS

YOUTUBE WITH ENHANCED PRIVACY

This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of these pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily exclude data sharing with YouTube partners. Regardless of whether you watch a video, YouTube connects to the Google DoubleClick network.

When you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection is established to YouTube’s servers. YouTube’s server is notified of which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after starting a video on YouTube, various cookies may be stored on your device or similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) may be used. This way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. These pieces of information are used, among other things, to gather video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud.

Additional data processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no influence.

The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.

Storage and analysis of the data are based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offers from abusive automated spying and from spam.
