Data Policy

Privacy and data protection at OBJECTS

The privacy of your data — and it is your data, not ours! — is a big deal to us. Here’s the rundown of what we collect and why, when we access your information, and your rights.

As far as personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.


We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation by third parties for the transmission of advertising and information material not expressly requested is hereby expressly prohibited.

If you are interested in how we handle your data, you can read about it here:

Legal basis

When collecting personal data, we comply with German law, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) as amended.

Collection, processing and use of personal data

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. We only store access data without personal reference, such as the name of your internet service provider, the page from which you visit us or the name of requested files, even if the visit is made via newsletter links. We only use this data for statistical purposes and to improve our services. They do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.

If you enter personal data on our website, in particular if you set up a user or customer account, subscribe to a newsletter, contact us or make use of paid services, we store and process your personal data. This data may be used for the processing of orders, for contacting you and for advertising purposes. Within the framework of the business relationship, it may be necessary to pass on data to service providers, suppliers and public authorities, such as logistics companies, banks, tax consultants, financial authorities, IT service providers, etc. These will also store your personal data. These will also store and process your personal data.

Right to information, right to correction, blocking and deletion

You have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct, block or delete this data.

This data cannot be assigned to specific persons. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use.

E-mail advertising (with newsletter registration)

If you would like to receive a newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified e-mail address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data will not be collected. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter.

E-mail advertising (without newsletter registration)

If you have not objected to the collection of your e-mail address in the order process, we will use it to send you information about our company, our services and our products at irregular intervals. You can object to the use of your data for advertising purposes at any time.

Cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small text files which are automatically generated by your browser and stored on your terminal (laptop, tablet, smart phone etc.) when you visit our website.

The cookie stores information which is generated in the context of the specific terminal used from time to time. However, this does not mean that we can immediately identify you.

The use of cookies improves the user-friendliness and security of this website. After the browser session has been closed, the cookies we have used are deleted from your hard drive (“session cookies”).

Moreover, some third-party services which we have integrated in our website may use cookies, too. Please go to the websites of the appropriate providers to inform yourself about their respective modes of operation and the data processing associated therewith. The services which we use are listed in this Privacy Policy.

Google Analytics

This website uses the “Google Analytics“ service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). This service uses “cookies“. These cookies are stored on your computer such that Google is able to analyse how you use our website. The information generated by the cookies about how you use this website and your IP address are usually transferred to a server of Google Inc. in the USA and stored there.

However, if the IP anonymisation is activated on this website, Google will shorten your IP address within EU Member States or in any other country party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to the transfer. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google, acting upon the instruction of the operator of this website, will use the information to analyse how you use the website, to compile reports on the website activities and render to the website operator additional services that are related to the website use.

This website uses Google Analytics with the supplementary feature “anonymizeIp()“. This makes sure that only shortened IP addresses are processed further which prevents IP addresses from being allocated to specific persons.
As to the exceptional cases where personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has agreed to respect and comply with the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

You can set your browser to refuse the storage of cookies on your terminal. However, in this case, you may be unable to use all functions and features of this website without restrictions if your browser does not permit cookies. You may also prevent the collection and transfer to Google of the data generated by the cookie regarding your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

We use this tracking measure to ensure customized design and continuous optimisation of our website. Moreover, we use this tracking measure to prepare statistics regarding the use of our website and analyse the use of our website to optimise the services we offer to you. These interests are legitimate in terms of the afore-mentioned provision.

We implement this measure on the basis of Art. 6 subs. 1 sentence 1 f) GDPR.

This allows Facebook to associate your visit to our pages with your user account. We would like to point out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. You can find further information on this in the Facebook data protection declaration at http://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php.
