Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of Woolly Mallow. The use of the internet pages of Woolly Mallow is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject. The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject, shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Woolly Mallow. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled. As the controller, Woolly Mallow has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.

  1. Definitions

The privacy policy of Woolly Mallow is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public, as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this privacy policy, we use, among others, the following terms:

a) Personal data

Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

c) Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

e) Profiling

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or Data Controller

Controller or Data Controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States.

h) Processor

Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union law or the law of the Member States shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) Third Party

Third Party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or any other entity other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorized to process personal data.

k) Consent

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her for a specific purpose.

  1. Cookies

The websites of Woolly Mallow use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Woolly Mallow can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

Through a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their access data each time they visit the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is a cookie for a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently oppose the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of General Data and Information

The website of Woolly Mallow collects a series of general data and information with each visit by a data subject or an automated system. These general data and information are stored in the server's log files. The following data may be collected: (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-web pages accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used to prevent threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

Woolly Mallow does not draw conclusions about the data subject when using this general data and information. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) optimize the contents of our website and its advertisement, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated by Woolly Mallow both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company, ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

  1. Registration on Our Website

The data subject has the opportunity to register on the website of the data controller by providing personal data. The specific personal data transmitted to the data controller during registration is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data provided by the data subject is collected and stored solely for internal use by the data controller and for its own purposes. The data controller may arrange for the data to be transferred to one or more processors, such as a parcel delivery service provider, who will also use the personal data solely for internal purposes attributable to the data controller.

Furthermore, by registering on the website of the data controller, the IP address assigned by the data subject's Internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration, are stored. The storage of this data is necessary to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the investigation of committed crimes. Therefore, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the data controller. Generally, this data is not disclosed to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to disclose it or disclosure is necessary for law enforcement purposes.

The registration of the data subject, with voluntary provision of personal data, enables the data controller to offer content or services to the data subject that can only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the services. Registered individuals have the option to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the data controller's database.

The data controller provides any data subject with information at any time upon request regarding the personal data stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the data controller corrects or deletes personal data upon request or notification from the data subject, provided that there are no statutory retention obligations preventing this. All employees of the data controller are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

  1. Subscription to Our Newsletter

On the website of Woolly Mallow, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the data controller when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

Woolly Mallow regularly informs its customers and business partners about company offers via newsletter. The newsletter of our company can generally only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject has registered for newsletter delivery. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address first entered by a data subject for newsletter delivery, using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify whether the owner of the email address, as a data subject, has authorized receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject's computer system used at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to trace any potential misuse of a data subject's email address at a later date and therefore serves to legally protect the data controller.

The personal data collected during newsletter registration is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, newsletter subscribers may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or related registration, such as in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical conditions. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service is not passed on to third parties. Subscription to our newsletter can be canceled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for newsletter delivery can be revoked at any time. A corresponding link can be found in each newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. Furthermore, there is the option to unsubscribe from the newsletter delivery directly on the website of the data controller or to inform the data controller of this in another way.

  1. Newsletter Tracking

The newsletters from Woolly Mallow contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows for a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Using the embedded tracking pixel, Woolly Mallow can determine whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links contained in the email were accessed by the data subject.

Personal data collected through such tracking pixels included in the newsletters is stored and analyzed by the data controller to optimize newsletter delivery and to better tailor the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke their separate consent given through the double opt-in process regarding this matter. Upon revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the data controller. Unsubscribing from receiving the newsletter is automatically considered a revocation by Woolly Mallow.

  1. Contact Option via the Website

The website of Woolly Mallow contains information required by law to enable quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, including a general email address (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the data controller by email or through a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data voluntarily provided by a data subject to the data controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no disclosure of this personal data to third parties.

  1. Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data

The data controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as required by the European legislator or other applicable legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject.

Once the purpose of storage no longer applies or once a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

10. Rights of the Data Subject

a) Right to Confirmation

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored byWoolly Mallow, they can contact any employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Woolly Mallow will initiate the restriction of processing.

• f) Right to Data Portability

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and where this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

11. Privacy Policy regarding the Use and Usage of Facebook

The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network that enables users to communicate and interact with each other in the virtual space. The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., headquartered at 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. For data subjects living outside the United States or Canada, the data controller responsible for processing personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., located at 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time a page containing a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject's information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. This allows Facebook to know which specific subpage of our website is being visited by the data subject. If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes with each visit to our website by the data subject and throughout the duration of the respective stay on our website which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject by Facebook. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, or if the data subject submits a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Facebook receives information through the Facebook component every time the data subject visits our website, regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such transmission of this information to Facebook is not desired by the data subject, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before visiting our website.

The data protection guideline published by Facebook, which is available at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains the privacy settings options offered by Facebook. Additionally, various applications are available that allow the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

12. Privacy Policy regarding the Use and Usage of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service that collects, analyzes, and evaluates data about the behavior of visitors to websites. This includes information about which website a data subject came from (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or viewed how often and for what duration. Web analytics is primarily used to optimize a website and to analyze the cost-effectiveness of internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The controller uses the "_gat._anonymizeIp" addition for web analytics through Google Analytics. With this addition, the IP address of the data subject's internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our website comes from a member state of the European Union or another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. Google uses the data collected to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports showing activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. This allows Google to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component is integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject's information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently enable commission settlements.

The cookie stores personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the data subject's internet connection, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transfer this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently oppose the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. In addition, cookies already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their control, there is the option of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

Each time a user visits one of the individual pages of this website operated by the data controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) has been integrated, the internet browser on the user's information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a representation of the corresponding component from Instagram. As part of this technical process, Instagram becomes aware of which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting.

If the data subject is logged into Instagram at the same time, Instagram recognizes with each visit to our website by the data subject and throughout the duration of the respective stay on our website, which specific subpage the data subject is visiting. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned by Instagram to the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted with it are assigned to the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Instagram.

Instagram receives information via the Instagram component whenever the data subject visits our website, regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Instagram component or not.

Each time a user visits one of the individual pages of this website operated by the data controller and on which a Pinterest component (Pinterest plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the user's information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Pinterest component to download a representation of the corresponding Pinterest component from Pinterest. More information about Pinterest can be found at https://pinterest.com/. As part of this technical process, Pinterest becomes aware of which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting.

If the data subject is logged into Pinterest at the same time, Pinterest recognizes with each visit to our website by the data subject and throughout the duration of the respective stay on our website, which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting. This information is collected by the Pinterest component and assigned by Pinterest to the respective Pinterest account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on a Pinterest button integrated on our website, Pinterest assigns this information to the personal Pinterest user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

The data controller has integrated components of Klarna on this website. Klarna is an online payment service provider that enables purchases on account or flexible installment payments. Klarna also offers additional services such as buyer protection or identity and credit checks.

The operating company of Klarna is Klarna AB, located at Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden.

If the data subject selects "purchase on account" or "installment purchase" as the payment option during the order process in our online shop, data of the data subject will be automatically transmitted to Klarna.

Payments are processed through so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. Additionally, PayPal offers the option to process virtual payments using credit cards if a user does not maintain a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an email address, so there is no traditional account number. PayPal allows for initiating online payments to third parties or receiving payments. PayPal also acts as a trustee and offers buyer protection services.

The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., located at 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

The execution of the financial transaction is then automatically communicated to the online merchant.

18 - Legal basis for processing personal data

The legal basis for processing personal data within our company is governed by Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, which serves as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, such as in the case of processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for compliance with tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.

In rare cases, it may be necessary to process personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured in our premises and his or her name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information would need to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In such a scenario, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This legal basis allows for processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds if the processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator, who considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 of the GDPR).

  1. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6.1.f of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.

  1. Duration for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of the period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided they are no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

  1. Legal or contractual provisions regarding the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contracting party). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract, is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of non-provision of the personal data would be.

  1. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.
