3. Data collection on our website

Cookies

The websites partially use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are necessary for the execution of the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions you desire (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. To the extent that other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.

Server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
A merging of this data with other data sources does not take place.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Processing of data (customer and contract data)
We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary for establishing, shaping, or changing the legal relationship (inventory data). This is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process, and use personal data about the use of our websites (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable or bill the user for using the service.

The collected customer data will be deleted after the order is completed or the business relationship ends. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Data transmission upon conclusion of contract for online shops, merchants, and goods shipping
We only transmit personal data to third parties if this is necessary for contract processing, for example to companies responsible for delivering the goods or the credit institution responsible for payment processing. No further transmission of data takes place or only if you have expressly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent, for example for advertising purposes.

Les Soeurs Shop is hosted on Shopify Inc. Personal data is therefore sent to the United States to be stored on Shopify's servers. Shopify provides the online e-commerce platform for a fee. This enables the sale of goods to the customer. Customer data is subjected to data storage by Shopify. This concerns their database as well as the general Shopify applications. Shopify stores customer data on a secure server behind a firewall. For full transparency, les-soeurs-shop.de refers to Shopify's “Privacy Policy”: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy

4. Social Media

Facebook Plugins (Like & Share Button)
Plugins from the social network Facebook, provider Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA, are integrated on our pages. You can recognize the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the "Like-Button" ("Like") on our site. An overview of the Facebook plugins can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

When you visit our pages, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Facebook server via the plugin. Facebook thereby receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Facebook "Like-Button" while logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of our pages on your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate your visit to our pages with your user account. We point out that as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. Further information can be found in Facebook's privacy policy at: https://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php.

If you do not want Facebook to associate your visit to our pages with your Facebook user account, please log out of your Facebook user account.

Instagram Plugin
On our site, we use social plugins from the social network Instagram, which is operated by 
Instagram LLC represented by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, 1601 Willow Rd Menlo Park CA 94025 USA  .

When you visit a page that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Pinterest's servers. The plugin transmits log data to Instagram's server in the USA. This log data may include your IP address, the addresses of the websites visited that also contain Instagram functions, the type and settings of the browser, the date and time of the request, your usage of Instagram, as well as cookies.

More information about the purpose, scope, and further processing and use of data by Instagram, as well as your related rights and options to protect your privacy, can be found in Instagram's privacy policy: https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388/?helpref=hc_fnav&bc[0]=368390626577968&bc[1]=285881641526716

Pinterest Plugin

This offer uses the buttons ("Pin It") of the Pinterest service, http://pinterest.com. With the help of the buttons, users can share the provider's articles on their "Pinterest Boards".
When a user visits a website that contains a "Pin It" button, their browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of Pinterest. The content of the "Pin It" button is transmitted directly from Pinterest to the user's browser. The provider therefore has no influence on the scope of the data that Pinterest collects using the "Pin It" button and informs users according to its knowledge. According to this, only the user's IP address and the URL of the respective website are transmitted, but only for the purposes of displaying the "Pin It" button and sharing the content. Further information can be found in Pinterest's privacy policy at http://pinterest.com/about/privacy/. 

5. Newsletter

Newsletter data

If the newsletter of our company is subscribed to, the data entered in the respective input form is transmitted to the person responsible for processing. The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. That means you will receive an email after registration asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary to ensure that no one can register with someone else's email address. When registering for the newsletter, the user's IP address as well as the date and time of registration are stored. This serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address of the person concerned. The data will not be passed on to third parties. An exception exists if there is a legal obligation to pass on the data. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter. The subscription to the newsletter can be canceled by the person concerned at any time. Likewise, consent to the storage of personal data can be revoked at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. The legal basis for processing the data after registration for the newsletter by the user is, if the user has given consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is § 7 para. 3 UWG.

Optionally, links in the email can be set as tracking links, with which your clicks can be counted.

Data stored with us for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the member area) remain unaffected.

Right of withdrawal: You have the option to revoke your consent to data processing with effect for the future at any time. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
