This data privacy statement is intended to inform the users of this website about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator Emerald Edge.
The website operator takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and according to the legal regulations. As new technologies and the constant development of this website may result in changes to this data protection declaration, we recommend that you read the data protection declaration again at regular intervals.
Definitions of the terms used (e.g. “personal data” or “processing”) can be found in Art. 4 DSGVO.
Access Data
We, the website operator or page provider, collect data on access to the website on the basis of our legitimate interest (see Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) and store these as “server log files” on the server of the website. The following data is logged in this way:
Visited website
Time at the time of access
Amount of data sent in bytes
Source/reference from which you came to the page
Browser used
Operating system used
IP address used
The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g. to clarify cases of misuse. If data have to be deleted for reasons of proof, they are excluded from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified.
Cookies
Cookies are small files that are stored on your end device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website. Common browsers offer the option not to accept cookies. Note: It is not guaranteed that you can access all functions of this website without restrictions if you make the appropriate settings.
Collection and Processing of Personal Data
The website operator collects, uses and passes on your personal data only if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the collection of data. Personal data includes all information which serves to determine your person and which can be traced back to you – for example your name, e-mail address and telephone number.
You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. However, in order to improve our online services, we store your access data to this website (without personal reference). This access data includes, for example, the file you requested or the name of your Internet provider. The anonymisation of the data does not allow conclusions to be drawn about you personally.
On or during the operation of our website, personal data is only collected to the extent that it is technically necessary. Personal data includes inventory data such as the name and address of a person and usage data (e.g. password, IP address). Data provided by customers in connection with orders in our online shop, such as above all invoice and delivery addresses and other data required for order processing, are required for the establishment, execution and handling of contracts and for the purpose of future customer service and customer care, and are processed and used by us in this respect. In this respect, we use the information for the processing of orders, the delivery of goods and the provision of services as well as the processing of payment. Any further transfer of personal data to third parties will not take place; in particular, data will never be sold or passed on to third parties for other reasons. Insofar as third parties are commissioned as service providers with the fulfilment of tasks – such as the delivery of goods and packages or the processing of payments – personal information is available to them which is required for the fulfilment of their tasks. These data will not be used for other purposes; they are also obliged to treat the information received in accordance with this data protection declaration and the German data protection laws.
Dealing with Contact Data
If you contact us as a website operator through the contact options offered, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and respond to your enquiry. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
Rights of the User
As a user, you have the right to request free information about which personal data about you has been stored. You also have the right to correct incorrect data and to limit or delete the processing of your personal data. If applicable, you may also exercise your right to data portability. If you believe that your data has been processed unlawfully, you can lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
Deletion of Data
Unless your request conflicts with a legal obligation to store data (e.g. data retention), you have a right to delete your data. Data stored by us will be deleted if they are no longer needed for their intended purpose and there are no legal retention periods. If deletion cannot be carried out because the data is required for permissible legal purposes, data processing will be restricted. In this case, the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes.
Right of Objection
Users of this website may exercise their right of objection and object to the processing of their personal data at any time.
If you wish a correction, blocking, deletion or information about the personal data stored about your person or if you have questions regarding the collection, processing or use of your personal data or if you wish to revoke your consent, please contact the following e-mail address: webmaster@emeraldedge.de
Plugins and Tools
It may happen that contents of third parties, such as videos from YouTube or graphics from other websites are integrated within our website. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) use the IP address of the user. Without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We make every effort to use only those contents whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the contents. However, we have no influence on whether the third party providers store the IP address for statistical purposes, for example. As far as this is known to us, we inform the users about it.
YouTube
Our website uses plugins from the YouTube page operated by Google. The site is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. If you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plug-in, a connection to YouTube’s servers will be established after your consent. This will tell the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, you can allow YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Further information on the handling of user data can be found in YouTube’s data protection declaration: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
