Art. 6 para 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis in the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data.

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of processing as well as the different probability of occurrence and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR.

These measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as the access, input, transmission, security of availability and its separation. We have also established procedures to ensure the exercise of data subject rights, deletion of data and reaction to endangerment of data. We already consider the protection of personal data during the development or selection of hardware, software and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection through technology design and data protection-friendly presetting (Art. 25 GDPR).

If we disclose data to other persons and companies (contract processors or third parties) within the context of our processing, transmit it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this shall only take place on the basis of a legal permission (e.g. if transmission of the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR is necessary for contract fulfilment), to which you have given your consent, if there is a legal obligation to do so or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).

If we commission third parties with the processing of data on the basis of what is referred to as an "order processing contract", this is performed on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this occurs in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure or transfer of data to third parties, this only takes place if it occurs for the fulfilment of our (pre)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, on the basis of a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or have the data processed in a third country only if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR apply. This means, for example, that processing is performed on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised level of a data protection corresponding to the EU (e.g. for the USA by the "Privacy Shield") or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations (referred to as "standard contractual clauses").

"Cookies" are small files that are stored on the user's computer. Various information can be stored within the cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit to an online service. Temporary cookies, or "session cookies" or "transient cookies", are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online service and closes their browser. For example, the content of a shopping basket in an online shop or a login status can be stored in such a cookie. Cookies are referred to as "permanent" or "persistent" if they remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved if users visit it after several days. Likewise, the users interests may be stored in such a cookie and used for coverage or marketing purposes. "Third-party cookies" are cookies that are offered by providers other than the controller for operating the online service (otherwise, if they are only cookies offered by the controller for operating the online service, they are referred to as "first-party cookies").

We may use temporary and permanent cookies and clarify this as part of our privacy policy.

If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the option in the system settings of their browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser’s system settings. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions with this online service.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be found in a large number of services, particularly in the case of tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be blocked by deactivating them in the browser settings. Please note that in this case not all of the functions of this online service can be used.

The data processed by us will be deleted or their processing restricted in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. If data are not deleted because it is necessary for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing is restricted. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons.

According to German legal requirements, the retention period is 10 years in accordance with §§ 147 para. 1 AO, 257 para. 1 no. 1 and 4, para. 4 HGB (books, records, management reports, accounting documents, trading books, documents relevant for taxation, etc.) and 6 years in accordance with § 257 para. 1 no. 2 and 3, para. 4 HGB (commercial letters).

 

We also process

- Contract data (for example, object of the contract, term, customer category)
- Payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history)

from our customers, interested parties and business partners for the purpose of providing contractual services, service and customer care, marketing, advertising and market research.

We process our customer’s data as part of the order processes in our online shop to enable them to select and order the selected products and services, as well as to execute their payment and delivery.

The processed data includes inventory data, communication data, contract data, payment data and the persons affected by the processing include our customers, interested parties and other business partners. The processing takes place for the purpose of providing contractual services in the context of operating an online shop, billing, delivery and customer services. We use session cookies for storing the contents of the shopping cart and permanent cookies for storing the login status.

Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b (execution of order processes) and c (legally required archiving) GDPR. The information marked as necessary is required to establish and fulfil the contract. We disclose the data to third parties only within the context of delivery, payment or within the context of legal permits and obligations to legal advisors and authorities. The data will only be processed in third countries if this is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract (e.g. at the customer's request upon delivery or payment).

Users have the option of creating a user account in which they can see their orders. During the registration process the users are informed of the required mandatory information. The user accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. If users have terminated their user account, their data with regards to the user account is deleted, unless retention is necessary for commercial or tax reasons according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data in the customer’s account is retained up to its deletion unless archived in the case of a legal obligation. It is the user's responsibility to save their data before the end of the contract if they have given notice of termination.

When registering at each login and using our online services we store the IP address and the time of the particular user action. The data is stored on the basis of our legitimate interests as well as the user's protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. This data is not passed to third parties unless it is necessary for the pursuit of our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so according to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. c GDPR.

The data is deleted after the expiry of statutory warranty and comparable obligations, the requirement to retain the data is reviewed every three years; in the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion takes place after their expiry (end of commercial law (6 years) and tax law (10 years) retention obligation).

 

We use external payment service providers through whose platforms the users and we can carry out payment transactions (e.g., each with a link to the privacy policy)

Paypal (https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full),
Visa (https://www.visa.de/datenschutz),
Mastercard (https://www.mastercard.de/de-de/datenschutz.html),
American Express (https://www.americanexpress.com/de/content/privacy-policy-statement.html)

 

As part of the fulfilment of contracts we employ payment service providers on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. GDPR. We also employ external payment service providers on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. GDPR to provide our users with effective and secure payment options.

The data processed by the payment service providers includes inventory data such as name and address, bank data such as account numbers or credit card numbers, passwords, TANs and checksums as well as contract, total sums and recipient information. This information is required to execute the transactions. However, the data entered will only be processed and stored by the payment service providers. This means that we do not receive any account or credit card related information, but only information with confirmation or negative information about the payment. The data may be transferred by the payment service providers to credit agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to verify identity and creditworthiness. For this we refer to the terms and conditions and data protection information of the payment service providers.

Applicable for payment transactions are the terms and conditions and the data protection information of the respective payment service providers, which can be accessed within the respective websites or transaction applications. We refer to these also for the purpose of further information and assertion of rights of revocation, information and other interested parties.

 

We process data in the context of administrative tasks as well as the organisation of our company, financial accounting and compliance with legal obligations, e.g. archiving. We process the same data that we process in the course of providing our contractual services. The processing bases are Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c. GDPR, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. Customers, prospects, business partners and website visitors are affected by the processing. The purpose and our interest in the processing lies in the administration, financial accounting, office organisation, archiving of data; therefore tasks which serve the maintenance of our business activities, perception of our tasks and provision of our services. The deletion of the data with regard to contractual services and contractual communication is the same as the information provided in these processing activities.

We disclose or transmit data to the tax authorities, consultants, such as tax consultants or auditors, as well as other fee offices and payment service providers.

We also store information on suppliers, event organisers and other business partners on the basis of our business interests, e.g. for the purpose of making contact at a later date. We store this data, which is mainly company-related, permanently.

 

In order to operate our business economically, to be able to recognize market tendencies, wishes of the contracting parties and users, we analyse the data available to us on business processes, contracts, inquiries, etc. We process inventory data, communication data, contract data, payment data, usage data, metadata on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR, whereby the data subjects include contractual partners, interested parties, customers, visitors and users of our online service.

The analyses are carried out for the purpose of economic evaluations, marketing and market research. We can take into account the profiles of registered users with information, e.g. on the services they have used. The analyses is used to increase the user-friendliness, the optimisation of our offer and the economic efficiency. We alone use analyses and they are not disclosed externally, unless they are anonymous analyses with summarised values.

If these analyses or profiles are personal, they will be deleted or made anonymous upon the user’s termination, otherwise after two years from the conclusion of the contract. Overall economic analyses and general trend determinations are prepared anonymously wherever possible.

 

Users can create a user account in our online shop (www.shop.phantasialand.de). During the registration process the users are informed of the required mandatory information which is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of providing the user account.

The shipping service provider is used on the basis of our legitimate interests according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and an order processing contract according to Art. 28 para. 3 S. 1 GDPR.

The shipping service provider can use the recipient's data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assignment to a user, to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimise the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes. However, the shipping service does not use the data of our newsletter recipients in order to write to them themselves or to pass the data on to third parties.

 

The newsletters contain what is referred to as a "web-beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file which is downloaded from our server when the newsletter is opened or, if we use a shipping service provider, from their server. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval are initially collected.

This information is used to technically improve the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. This information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients for technical reasons. However, it is neither our endeavour, nor, if used, that of the shipping service provider, to observe individual users. These evaluations are used more to recognise the reading habits of our users and to adapt our contents to them or to send different contents according to the interests of our users.

Google Tag Manager is a solution with which we can manage website tags via an interface (and integrate Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online service, for example). The Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) does not process any of the user’s personal data. With regard to the processing of users' personal data, reference is made to the following information on the Google services. Guidelines for use: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

 

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online service within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online service by the users is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European privacy legislation (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online service by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online service and to provide us with further services related to the use of this online service and internet usage. In this case, pseudonymous usage profiles of the users can be created from the processed data.

We use Google Analytics only with enabled IP anonymization. This means that Google will truncate the IP address of users within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Your full IP address will only be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there in exceptional cases.

The IP address submitted by the user’s browser will not be merged with other data provided by Google. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; users may also prevent the collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online service and the processing of such data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

As an alternative to the browser plug-in or within browsers on mobile devices, please click on the following link to set an opt-out cookie that will prevent future collection by Google Analytics within this website (this opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain, if you delete your cookies in this browser, you must click this link again): http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

For more information about Google’s data usage, setting and objection options, please read Google’s Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) as well as in the settings for the display of advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

The personal data of users will be deleted or anonymized after 26 months.

 

The provider uses the Google Inc. ("Google") remarketing or "similar target group" function on the website. This feature enables the provider to target visitors to the website with advertising by delivering personalized, interest-based ads to visitors to the provider's website when they visit other websites on the Google Display Network. Google uses cookies to analyse website usage, which forms the basis for creating interest-based advertisements. Google stores a small file with a sequence of numbers in the website visitor’s browsers. This number is used to record visits to the website and anonymized data on the use of the website. None of the visitor’s personal data is stored to the website. If you subsequently visit another website in the Google Display Network, you will see ads that are highly likely to include previously accessed product and information areas. You can permanently deactivate the use of cookies by Google by following the following link and downloading and installing the plug-in provided: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies by third parties by visiting the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative at (Network Advertising Initiative) under http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the additional opt-out information given. For more information about Google Remarketing and Google's privacy policy, please visit: http://www.google.com/privacy/ads/.

 

We use the "Google AdWords" online advertising program and conversion tracking as part of Google AdWords. The Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification.

If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. This means that it is not possible to track AdWords customers via cookies on the websites.

The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers can see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that personally identifies users.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by preventing the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly (deactivation option). They are then not included in the conversion tracking statistics. Further information and Google's privacy policy can be found at: http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/, http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

However, we would like to point out that you may not be able to use all functions on our website in this case. By using this website, you are declaring that you consent to the data collected by Google being processed in the manner and for the purpose described.

 

To support our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online service the "Facebook pixel" of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, if you are based in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"), is used within our online service.

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).

With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able to determine the visitors of our online service as a target group for the presentation of ads (referred to as "Facebook ads"). Therefore we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads we post only to Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online service or who have certain features (e.g. interests in certain topics or products that are determined by the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (referred to as "custom audiences"). We also use the Facebook pixel to ensure that our Facebook ads meet the potential interest of users and are not a nuisance. The Facebook pixel also helps us understand the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by showing whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (referred to as "conversion").

Our website incorporates remarketing tags used by the social media network Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. When you visit our website, the remarketing tag will establish a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. This will inform Facebook that you (along with your IP address) have visited our website. This enables Facebook to trace your visit on our website to your user account. We can use the information obtained from this process to display Facebook ads. We would like to point out that, as the operator of the website, we are not aware of the transmitted data or how it is used by Facebook. For further information on this matter, please see Facebook's privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. If you do not wish your data to be recorded by Custom Audience, you can deactivate Custom Audiences here.

Facebook processes the data in accordance with Facebook's Data Usage Policy. General information on the display of Facebook ads is contained in Facebook's Data Usage Policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. For specific information and details about the Facebook Pixel and how it works, visit the Facebook Help section: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.

You can object to the collection by the Facebook pixel and use of your data to display Facebook ads. To set what types of ads you see within Facebook, you can visit the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions on usage-based advertising preferences: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

You may also object to the use of cookies for coverage and promotional purposes via the opt-out page of the Network Advertising Initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and additionally to the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).

 

Within our online offers, the so called "TikTok pixel" of the social network TikTok, which is operated by TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland ("TikTok"), is used.

On the one hand, the TikTok pixel enables TikTok to determine you as a visitor of our online offers as a target group for the presentation of ads (so called "TikTok-Ads"). Accordingly, we use the TikTok pixel to display the TikTok-Ads placed by us only to those TikTok users who have also shown an interest in our online offers or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to TikTok (so-called "custom audiences"). With the help of the TikTok pixel, we also want to ensure that our TikTok-Ads match the potential interest of users and are not annoying. The TikTok Pixels also help us track the effectiveness of TikTok-Ads for statistical and market research purposes by showing us whether users are redirected to our website after clicking on a TikTok ad (so called "conversion").
