Our website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. Web analytics service provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses "cookies." These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device and allow analysis of website usage. Information generated by cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to a Google server and stored there. Server location is usually in the USA.

The use of Google Analytics is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG.

We intend to transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area, in particular the USA. The data transfer to the USA is carried out in accordance with Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR on the basis of the adequacy decision of the European Commission.

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by deactivating it in our cookie settings.

IP Anonymization

We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymization feature. It ensures that Google shortens your IP address within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. There may be exceptions where Google transmits and truncates the full IP address to a server in the United States. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to report on website activity, and to provide us with other services related to website activity and internet usage. There is no merger of the Google Analytics transmitted IP address with other Google data.

This is possible through the ad settings in your Google Account or by generally prohibiting the collection of your data by Google Analytics by deactivating it in our cookie settings.

Google Ads and Conversion Tracking

Our website uses the online marketing program "Google Ads", including conversion tracking (evaluation of user actions). Google conversion tracking is a service operated by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). If you are ordinarily resident in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the controller responsible for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the company affiliated with Google responsible for processing your data and for compliance with the applicable data protection legislation.

If you click on adverts placed by Google, a cookie is placed on your computer for conversion tracking. These cookies have limited validity, do not contain any personal data and thus cannot be used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that you have clicked on the advert and were forwarded to this page. Every Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. It is therefore not possible to track cookies relating to the websites of Ads customers.

The information collected using the conversion cookie serves the purpose of producing conversion statistics. This allows us to find out the total number of users who have clicked on our adverts and were forwarded to a page equipped with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which could be used to personally identify users.

Your data may be transmitted to the USA. The data transfer to the USA is carried out in accordance with Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR on the basis of the adequacy decision of the European Commission. The US companies involved and/or their US subcontractors are certified in accordance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF).

The use of cookies or comparable technologies is carried out with your consent on the basis of Art. 25 para. 1 p. 1 TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The processing of your personal data is carried out with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out with your consent up to the withdrawal.

The use of Customer Match serves us to optimize our web offer and to individualize it to the respective users. Once the Customer Match lists have been created, the encrypted data records are automatically deleted again. The providers do not obtain new addresses as a result.

The data processing serves marketing and advertising purposes and the purpose of measuring the success of the advertising measures (conversion tracking).

Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge

To display our Trusted Shops seal of quality and any reviews collected, as well as to offer the Trusted Shops products to buyers after placing an order, the Trusted Shops Trustbadge is integrated on this website.

This is to protect our legitimate interests in optimal marketing, which prevail after due consideration of all interests, by enabling secure shopping in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

The Trustbadge is provided as part of an order processed by a content delivery network (CDN) provider. Trusted Shops GmbH also uses service providers from the U.S. An adequate level of data protection is ensured. Further information on data protection by Trusted Shops GmbH can be found here.

When the Trustbadge is accessed, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which also contains your IP address, the date and time of the access, the amount of transmitted data and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the access. Individual access data are stored in a security database for the analysis of security anomalies. The log files are automatically deleted no later than 90 days after creation.

Further personal data will be transferred to Trusted Shops GmbH if you decide to use Trusted Shops products after completing an order or if you have already registered for use. The contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops shall apply. For this purpose, personal data is automatically collected from the order data. Whether you as a buyer are already registered for product use is automatically checked using a neutral parameter, i.e. the email address hashed by a one-way cryptological function. Prior to submission, the e-mail address is converted into this hash value that cannot be decrypted by Trusted Shops. After checking for a match, the parameter is deleted automatically.

This is required to pursue our and Trusted Shops’ predominant legitimate interests in ensuring the buyer protection that is linked to each specific order and the transactional evaluation services in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Further details, also regarding objection, can be found in the Trusted Shops Privacy Policy linked above and in the Trustbadge.

Presence in social media

In order to present our company in the best possible way and to communicate with you as a user, customer or interested party and to inform you about the services we offer, we make use of our presence on social networks. When using social networks, data is processed outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). An equivalent level of data protection as exists in the EU cannot be guaranteed in all countries outside the EU.  In this context, there may be risks for you as a user if the transmitted data is processed in so-called third countries with an inadequate level of data protection.

This makes it more difficult to enforce known user rights. In addition, your data may not be processed in your interest by the provider in the third country.

We only transfer personal data to third countries for which an adequate level of protection has been confirmed or if the transfer of personal data can be ensured by contractual agreements or other suitable guarantees.

In addition to the respective provider of a social network, we also collect and process personal user data on so-called "fan pages". This notice informs you which data we collect from you on our social media sites, how we use it and how you can object to the use of your data. The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the respective offer listed in more detail below.

The activities in social media operated by us and described in more detail below are carried out on the basis of a balancing of interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

To achieve this, cookies are used which record user behavior and enable the user to be profiled. A specific list of the purposes for which user data is processed can be found in the data protection notices of the respective providers. By making the appropriate settings in your user account, you can restrict profiling, at least to a certain extent. For the exact procedure, please read the relevant data protection information of the respective provider.

The relevant platforms are:

  • Facebook (Responsible body: Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd  4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland - Data protection information of the platform operators: https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy/)

  • Instagram (Responsible body: Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd  4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland - Data protection information of the platform operators: https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy/)

  • YouTube (Responsible body: Google Ireland Limited  Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland - Data protection information of the platform operators: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en)

WhiteWall Media GmbH operates profiles on the listed platforms in order to draw attention to products and services and to interact with customers, interested parties and other users of the platform.

In this context, the platform operators also use certain data that they have collected from users of the platform (e.g. whether a photo on a profile has been marked with "Like" or commented on) to create aggregated usage statistics and make them available to the respective operators of the profile (so-called "insights" or "analytics"). As the profile operator, we also receive such usage statistics. The information we receive as profile operators does not allow us to draw any conclusions about individual users. The profile operator itself has no access to personal data that the platform operator processes for the creation of usage statistics. Only the respective platform operator determines which data is processed for these purposes and how. As the profile operator, WhiteWall Media GmbH has no legal or actual influence on the processing by the platform operators.

For processing in connection with the creation of usage statistics, WhiteWall Media GmbH and the respective platform operator are considered joint controllers within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR.

Where possible, joint responsibility agreements are in place with the respective platform operators.

In addition, data processing by WhiteWall Media GmbH as the profile operator only takes place to a very limited extent:

  • Processing of usernames and individual messages when you contact us via messenger services 

  • Processing of usernames when participating in competitions. The relevant conditions of participation apply in each case.  

  • Processing of usernames and postings in the context of inquiries and, if necessary, obtaining consent for the re-posting of images

For these purposes, we generally only process your name, message content, comment content and the profile information you have provided "publicly".
