I. General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing of personal data
We generally only process our users' personal data to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. Our users' personal data is generally only processed with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for actual reasons and the processing of the data is required by law.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
If we obtain consent from the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

3. Data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which they were stored no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

I. Rights of the data subject
If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

1. Right to information
You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether or not personal data concerning you are being processed by him or her.
If such processing takes place, you can request the following information from the controller:
⦁ the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
⦁ the categories of personal data being processed;
⦁ the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed;
⦁ the planned duration for which the personal data concerning you will be stored or, if specific information is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;
⦁ the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;
⦁ the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
⦁ all available information as to their origin, if the personal data are not collected from the data subject;
⦁ the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you will be transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you can request to be informed of the appropriate guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

2. Right to rectification
You have the right to request rectification and/or completion from the controller if the personal data concerning you that are processed are incorrect or incomplete. The controller must carry out the rectification immediately.

3. Right to restriction of processing
You can request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you under the following conditions:
⦁ if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
⦁ the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of the use of the personal data instead;
⦁ the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or
⦁ if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.
If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, these data may - with the exception of storage - only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above-mentioned requirements, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

4. Right to erasure
a) Obligation to delete
You may request that the controller delete the personal data concerning you immediately and the controller is obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:
⦁ The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
⦁ You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
⦁ You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 2 GDPR.
⦁ The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully.
⦁ The erasure of personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
⦁ The personal data concerning you were collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 (1) GDPR.
b) Information to third parties
If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase them pursuant to Art. 17 Para. 1 GDPR, the controller shall take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform data controllers which process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure by them of all links to these personal data or of copies or replications of these personal data.
c) Exceptions
The right to erasure does not exist if processing is necessary
⦁ to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information.
⦁ to fulfill a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
⦁ for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9 (3) GDPR;
⦁ for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to make the achievement of the objectives of that processing impossible or seriously compromises it, or
⦁ to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. Right to information
If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the responsible party, this party is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you were disclosed of said rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, unless doing so should prove impossible or involve disproportionate expenditure.
You have the right to be informed by the controller about these recipients.

6. Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have made available to the controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was made available, provided that
⦁ the processing is based on consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter a of GDPR or Art. 9 Para. 2 Letter a of GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter b of GDPR and
⦁ the processing is carried out using automated procedures.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This must not affect the freedoms and rights of other persons.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. Right of objection
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 letter e or f of the GDPR, for reasons related to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If the personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
In connection with the use of information society services, you have the option of exercising your right of objection by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications, regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC.

8. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law
You have the right to revoke your consent to data protection at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

9. Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling
You have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This shall not apply if the decision
⦁ is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
⦁ is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or
⦁ with your express consent.
However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2)(a) or (b) GDPR applies and appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests have been taken.
In the cases referred to in points 1 and 3, the controller shall implement appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint was submitted shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 GDPR.

I. Registration

1. Description and scope of data processing
On our website, we offer users the opportunity to register by providing personal data. The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and stored. The data is not passed on to third parties. The following data is collected as part of the registration process:
⦁ Email address
⦁ Name
⦁ First name
⦁ Telephone / mobile number
⦁ Date and time of registration
⦁ Date of birth
As part of the registration process, the user’s consent to process this data is obtained.

2. Purpose of data processing
Registration of the user is necessary to fulfill a contract with the user or to carry out pre-contractual measures.
We process the data provided to us for the execution of the contract, depending on the desired payment method for a pre-contractual review and for any processing of warranty claims. The legal basis for this can be found in Art. 6 Paragraph 1 c) and f) GDPR. In addition, the service providers we use (such as logistics companies, payment intermediaries) receive the necessary data about you or your order. Depending on the payment method chosen, we also carry out credit checks. Without correct information about personal data, we can either not accept orders at all or only offer a limited selection of payment methods. As part of the operation of our company, we process your data using our IT systems. In some cases, we use external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored. We can also process the data you provide to inform you about other interesting products from our portfolio or to contact you on specific occasions. 5. How do we collect and process data when you send us enquiries or messages by post, fax, email or via a contact form? If you send us enquiries or messages by post, fax, email or via a contact form that relate to orders, we will save your enquiry or message and our response as correspondence relating to the respective order or your customer account in accordance with our retention obligations under commercial and tax law. For other enquiries or messages by post, fax, email or via a contact form, we will use the personal data you provide in the enquiry exclusively to answer your enquiry, but will not subsequently save your enquiry or the personal data you provide in the enquiry.

3. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of data, if the user has given his consent, is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
If the registration serves to fulfill a contract to which the user is a party or to carry out pre-contractual measures, the additional legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

4. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.
This is the case for the data collected during the registration process to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures if the data is no longer required to carry out the contract. Even after the contract has been concluded, it may be necessary to store the contractual partner's personal data in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations.
5. Possibility of objection and removal
As a user, you have the option to cancel your registration at any time. You can have the data stored about you changed at any time.
You have the right to request that we delete your personal data under the conditions of Art. 17 Para. 1 GDPR. However, this right does not apply if the processing is necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, to fulfill a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. To request deletion, you can contact office@the-g.eu.
If the data is required to fulfil a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, early deletion of the data is only possible if contractual or legal obligations do not prevent deletion.

Payment by direct bank transfer
It is possible to pay by direct bank transfer. In this case, the data will be collected by Sofort GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich.
The person responsible does not collect or store the data himself.
By issuing an instant transfer, you authorize Sofort GmbH to automatically check
whether your account covers the amount to be transferred (account coverage check) and whether any instant transfers from your account in the last 30 days have been successfully carried out,
and, after a positive review, to send the transfer order you have approved in electronic form to your bank and to inform us, as the payment recipient you have selected (online provider), that the transfer has been successfully completed.
To do this, Sofort GmbH requires the IBAN as well as the PIN and TAN of your online banking account. As part of the ordering process, you will automatically be redirected to the secure payment form of Sofort GmbH.
You will receive confirmation of the transaction immediately afterwards. We will then receive the transfer credit directly.
Anyone who has an activated online banking account with PIN/TAN procedure can use Sofortüberweisung as a payment method.
Please note that a few banks do not yet support payment via Sofortüberweisung.
You can find more information about this via the following link:

5. Possibility of objection and removal
You can revoke your consent to the processing of your payment data at any time by notifying the person responsible or the payment service provider used.

I. Geotargeting
We use the IP address and other information provided by the user (in particular the postcode when registering or ordering) to address regional target groups (so-called "geotargeting").
For example, the regional targeting serves to automatically show you regional offers or advertising that are often more relevant for users. The legal basis for the use of the IP address and any other information provided by the user (in particular the postcode) is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, based on our interest in ensuring a more precise targeting of the target group and thus providing offers and advertising with greater relevance for users.
Part of the IP address and the additional information provided by the user (especially the postcode) are only read out and not stored separately.
You can prevent geotargeting by using a VPN or proxy server, for example, which prevents precise localization. In addition, depending on the browser you are using, you can also deactivate location localization in the corresponding browser settings (if the respective browser supports this).
We use geotargeting on our website for the following purposes:
⦁ Customer approach
⦁ Language selection and currency selection

1. Duration of storage
Your personal information will be retained for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this privacy policy or as required by law, e.g. for tax and accounting purposes.

2. Transfer to third countries
When using the plugins marked with third country transfer or USA, personal data can be transferred to servers in the USA. The United States of America does not offer an adequate level of data protection on the basis of a decision of the European Union. The main risk of the transfer lies in the obligation of the plug-in provider to make user data accessible to American authorities under certain circumstances. All providers currently have a contract for data processing and appropriate guarantees of third country transfer, in particular by concluding so-called standard data protection clauses in accordance with Art. 46 (2) (c) GDPR. We are currently striving to adapt to the ECJ ruling of July 16, 2020 (Schrems II, Ref. C-311/18), including additional security precautions. We are striving to conclude new standard data protection clauses after conducting a so-called "Transfer Impact Analysis". Information on the current standard data protection clauses can be requested by sending us an informal email.

3. Right of revocation and removal
You have the right to revoke your consent to data protection at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
You can prevent the collection and processing of your personal data by the respective providers by preventing the storage of third-party cookies on your computer, using the "Do Not Track" function of a supporting browser, deactivating the execution of script code in your browser or installing a script blocker such as NoScript ( https://noscript.net/ ) or Ghostery (https://www.ghostery.com ) in your browser.
