§ 3 Webshop

  1. If you wish to order from our online shop, it is necessary for the conclusion of the contract that you provide your personal data, which we need to process your order. Mandatory information required for contract processing is marked separately; further information is voluntary. We process the data you provide to process your order. For this purpose, we may pass on your payment details to our service providers for shipping or payment processing. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
     When paying via PayPal, direct debit, credit card, purchase on account or installment payment (Powered by PayPal), we pass your payment data on to PayPal (Europe) Sarl et Cie, SCA, 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg as part of the payment processing.
    PayPal reserves the right to conduct a credit check for the payment methods mentioned. For this purpose, your payment data may be passed on to credit agencies in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR based on PayPal's legitimate interest in determining your ability to pay. PayPal uses the result of the credit check with regard to the statistical probability of default to decide whether to provide the respective payment method. The credit check may contain probability values ​​(so-called score values). To the extent that score values ​​are included in the result of the credit check, these are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. The calculation of the score values ​​includes, but is not limited to, address data. Further data protection information, including information on the credit agencies used, can be found in PayPal's privacy policy: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

§ 9 Google Analytics (tracking cookies)

  1. Description and scope of data processing

This website uses anonymized Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files placed on your device, to help analyze website usage. The information collected through cookies is typically sent to a Google server in the United States and stored there.
 By anonymizing your IP address, it will be shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area. This abbreviation removes any personal reference to your IP address.
Based on a contract data processing agreement concluded between YachtingMode and Google Inc., Google uses the information collected to evaluate website usage and website activity and to provide other services related to internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser will not be merged with Google's data.
 You have the option to prevent cookies from being saved on your device by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, this may prevent you from fully using all the features of this website.
 Further information on the terms of use and data protection of Google Analytics can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/ .

  1. Purpose and legal basis of data processing

YachtingMode uses Google Analytics to analyze website usage and to regularly improve it. Using the statistics obtained, we can optimize our offerings and make them more interesting for you. Our legitimate interest in using Google Analytics lies in improving our services to users. The legal basis for processing your personal data is therefore Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

  1. Duration of storage and deletion

Due to the anonymization of IP addresses, the personal data collected about you will be deleted immediately.
 User and event-level data linked to cookies, user IDs, and advertising IDs are subject to a standard retention period of 26 months.

  1. Possibility of objection and removal

You can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

§ 10 Social media plugins – Facebook pixel

Description and scope of data processing
This website uses the remarketing function of the “visitor action pixel” of Facebook Inc.. We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our website, no personal data is initially passed on to the plug-in provider. Only consent from this plug-in provider legitimizes the transfer of data (opt-in process). You can recognize the provider of the plug-in by the marking on the box above its initial letter. You are thus offered the opportunity to communicate directly with the provider of the plug-in. Only if you click on the marked field and thereby activate it will the plug-in provider receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offering. By activating the plug-in, your personal data is transmitted to the respective plug-in provider and stored there.

The data is transferred regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, the data we collect will be directly assigned to your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you click the activated button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider also saves this information in your user account and publicly shares it with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, especially before activating the button, as this prevents your data from being assigned to your profile with the plug-in provider.

  1. Purpose and legal basis of data processing

Through the plug-ins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users so that we can improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user.
The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you for the following purposes:
 (1) Advertising
 (2) Market research
 (3) needs-based design of its website

Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to display needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website.

Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR provides the relevant legal basis for the use of plug-ins. Our legitimate interest lies in evaluating the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and thus optimizing future advertising measures.

  1. Duration of storage and deletion

We do not store any data transmitted to Facebook via the plugin.

  1. Possibility of objection and removal

As a user, you have the right to object to the creation of user profiles at any time in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR. To exercise this right, you must contact the plug-in provider.
 You can object to the use of the Facebook Pixel at any time – please click here: Deactivate Facebook Pixel
 Please note that for technical reasons, this objection must be made individually for each browser and each device.
 In order to safeguard your right of withdrawal, you also have the right to withdraw your consent to the use of social plug-ins at any time in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR via the following link: href=”https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads# =

  1. Restriction of your right to erasure

The right to erasure does not exist according to Art. 17 (3) GDPR if the processing is necessary

(1) to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
 (2) for compliance with a legal obligation required by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
 (3) for reasons of public interest in the area of ​​public health pursuant to Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) GDPR;
(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to make the achievement of the objectives of that processing impossible or seriously compromises it, or

  1. Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling

According to Article 22 (1) GDPR, you have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
 (2) is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and this law contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or
(3) with your express consent.
 However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2) (a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests have been taken.
 In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall implement appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

§ 12 Minors

Minors may not submit any personal data to us without the consent of their legal guardians. We do not knowingly process any personal data obtained from minors on our website.
