Data protection

data protection

We take the protection of your private data very seriously. The special attention to privacy when processing personal data is very important to us. Personal data is used in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We, the operators of this website, are committed to secrecy. The website contains links to websites of other providers to which this data protection declaration does not extend.

If you use this website, various personal data will be collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This data protection declaration explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens. We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the responsible body

The responsible body for data processing on this website is:
Kite Dict
Thomas Beckman
Friedrich-List-Allee 22a (Gate 10)
41844 Wegberg

Telephone: +49 211 83832780
Email: central@kbc-shop.com

The responsible body is the natural or legal person who alone or together with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

What is personal data and what is it used for?

Personal data is information that can be used to determine identity. This includes information such as your real name, address, postal address, email address and telephone number. Information that is not directly associated with the real identity (such as favorite websites or the number of users of a site) is not included.
In principle, you can use our online offer without disclosing your identity (e.g. to find out about products available from us).

However, if you want to place an order, you must provide your address. You must also use one of the available means of payment. When using a means of payment, your personal data will also be collected depending on the means of payment, but the protection of this data is the responsibility of the respective payment means provider, who does not pass this data on to us.

Alternatively, you can also reserve all products in the KBC shop by telephone or e-mail and pay cash in person in our shop in Düsseldorf and pick them up in person.

If you use the bank transfer payment method, personal data will be revealed, which, however, is not related to the website www.KBC-Shop.com, but is only available offline. This data is kept and stored within the framework of the principles of proper bookkeeping (GOB) and is not used for any purpose other than the legally prescribed documentation of business transactions.

We use the personal data for the purposes of technical administration of the website and for customer management only to the extent required in each case. In addition, personal data is only stored if this is given voluntarily. For example, when ordering, you can choose whether we can inform you about products and news via newsletter.

Disclosure of Personal Data

We use personal information only for this website. We do not pass on the information to third parties without express consent. If data is passed on to service providers as part of order data processing, they are bound by the Federal Data Protection Act BDSG, other legal regulations and this privacy policy.
Personal data is only collected or transmitted to state institutions and authorities within the framework of mandatory legal provisions.

Use of cookies

We use cookies - small files with configuration information. They help us to determine user-specific settings and to implement special user functions. We do not collect any personally identifiable information through cookies. All functions of the website can also be used without cookies, but some user-defined properties and settings are then not available.

Children

If you are under the age of 18, you should not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of your parents or legal guardians. We do not solicit, collect or share personal information from children.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Some data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent that you have already given at any time. An informal message by e-mail is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of the data processing that took place up until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

As a data subject, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of a breach of data protection law. The competent supervisory authority with regard to data protection issues is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based. The following link provides a list of data protection officers and their contact details: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to third parties. It is provided in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another person responsible, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

safety notice

We endeavor to store your personal data by taking all technical and organizational measures in such a way that they are not accessible to third parties. When communicating by e-mail, we cannot guarantee complete data security, so we recommend that you send confidential information by post.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses an SSL or. TLS encryption. This means that data that you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” address line in your browser and by the lock symbol in the browser line.

Registration on this site

You can register on our website to use certain functions. The transmitted data is used exclusively for the purpose of using the respective offer or service. Mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise we will refuse the registration. In the event of important changes, for example for technical reasons, we will inform you by e-mail. The e-mail will be sent to the address given during registration. The data entered during registration is processed on the basis of your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent that you have already given at any time. An informal message by e-mail is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of the data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation. We store the data collected during registration during the period in which you are registered on our website. Your data will be deleted if you cancel your registration. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter . Further data is not collected or only collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties. The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation. The data you have stored with us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted after you have canceled the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the members' area) remain unaffected.

Mailchimp: The newsletter is sent using "MailChimp", a newsletter distribution platform from the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
The e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in this notice, are stored on the MailChimp servers in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, according to its own information, MailChimp can use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of the dispatch and the presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes, in order to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them or pass them on to third parties. We trust in the reliability and the IT and data security of MailChimp. MailChimp is certified under the US-EU data protection agreement "Privacy Shield" and is therefore committed to complying with EU data protection regulations. Furthermore, we have concluded a "Data Processing Agreement" with MailChimp. This is a contract in which MailChimp undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process it on our behalf in accordance with their data protection regulations and, in particular, not to pass it on to third parties. You can view MailChimp's privacy policy here: mailchimp.com/legal/privacy

Registration data: In order to register for the newsletter, it is sufficient if you enter your e-mail address. (Optionally, we ask you to provide your first and last name. This information is only used to personalize the newsletter. We also ask you to optionally provide your date of birth. We only use this information to adapt the content of the newsletter to the interests of our readers.) Statistical survey and analysis
The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", ie a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the MailChimp server when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval, are initially collected. This information is used to technically improve the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or the access times. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our aim nor that of MailChimp to monitor individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

Online retrieval and data management: There are cases in which we direct newsletter recipients to the MailChimp websites. For example, our newsletter contains a link with which the newsletter recipient can access the newsletter online (e.g. in the event of display problems in the e-mail program). Furthermore, newsletter recipients can subsequently correct their data, such as their e-mail address. Likewise, MailChimp's data protection declaration can only be accessed on their website. In this context, we pointed out that cookies are used on the MailChimp websites and that personal data is processed by MailChimp, its partners and the service providers used (e.g. Google Analytics). We have no influence on this data collection. For more information, see MailChimp's privacy policy. We would also like to draw your attention to the possibility of objecting to data collection for advertising purposes on the websites www.aboutads.info/choices/ and www.youronlinechoices.com (for the European area).

Cancellation/revocation: You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, ie revoke your consent. At the same time, your consent to its dispatch via MailChimp and the statistical analyzes expire. A separate revocation of the dispatch via MailChimp or the statistical evaluation is unfortunately not possible. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter at the end of each newsletter.
Legal bases of the General Data Protection Regulation: In accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applicable from May 25, 2018, we inform you that the consent to the sending of e-mail addresses is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. a, 7 GDPR and Article 7 Para. 2 No. 3, or Para. 3 UWG. The use of the mail service provider MailChimp, the implementation of statistical surveys and analyzes and the logging of the registration process are based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
Our interest is focused on the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and meets user expectations.

Our website allows payment via PayPal. The provider of the payment service is PayPal (Europe) S.à.rl et Cie, SCA, 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg. If you pay with PayPal, the payment data you have entered will be transmitted to PayPal. Your data is transmitted to PayPal on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent) and Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR (processing to fulfill a contract). You can revoke your consent that you have already given at any time. Data processing operations in the past remain effective in the event of revocation.

cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device. Cookies help us to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Some cookies are “session cookies.” Such cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your browser session. On the other hand, other cookies remain on your end device until you delete them yourself. Such cookies help us to recognize you when you return to our website. With a modern web browser you can monitor, restrict or prevent the setting of cookies.

Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution that we, as marketers, use to manage website tags from one interface. The Tag Manager tool implements the tags. It is a cookieless domain and does not collect any personal data. It triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, this will remain in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Specific to Google Analytics

Our website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider of the web analysis service 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 end device and enable 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 the USA.

Google Analytics cookies are set on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize our website and, if necessary, advertising.

IP anonymization

We use Google Analytics in connection with the IP anonymization function. It ensures that Google shortens your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the USA. There may be exceptional cases in which Google transmits the full IP address to a server in the USA and shortens it there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to create reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

browser plug-in

The setting of cookies by your web browser can be prevented. However, this could limit some functions of our website. You can also prevent the collection of data relating to your website use, including your IP address and subsequent processing by Google. This is possible by downloading and installing the browser plugin available via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Objection to data collection

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent your data from being collected on future visits to our website: Disable Google Analytics.
For details on how Google Analytics handles user data, see Google's privacy policy: support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245 .

order processing

In order to fully comply with the legal data protection requirements, we have concluded an order processing contract with Google.

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

Our website uses the "demographic characteristics" function of Google Analytics. It can be used to create reports that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and visitor data from third-party providers. It is not possible to assign the data to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time. This is possible via the ad settings in your Google account or by generally prohibiting the collection of your data by Google Analytics, as explained in the point "Objection to data collection".

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

Our website uses Google AdWords. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States.

AdWords is an online advertising program. As part of the online advertising program, we work with conversion tracking. After clicking on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device. Google AdWords cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. We and Google can use the cookie to recognize that you clicked on an ad and were forwarded to our website.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies are not traceable across AdWords advertiser websites. Conversion cookies are used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. Adwords customers find out how many users clicked on their ad and were redirected to pages with a conversion tracking tag. However, AdWords customers do not receive any information that would allow users to be personally identified. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can object to its use. Here the conversion cookie must be deactivated in the user settings of the browser. This means that there is no inclusion in the conversion tracking statistics.

"Conversion cookies" are stored on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize our website and our advertising. Details on Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google's data protection regulations: www.google.de/policies/privacy/ .

With a modern web browser you can monitor, restrict or prevent the setting of cookies. The deactivation of cookies can result in limited functionality of our website.

Google Opt Out

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent future collection of your data when you visit this website: Disable Google Analytics

You can find more information on the terms of use and data protection at www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/ .

On this website, Google Analytics was expanded to include the "anonymizeIp" code to ensure that IP addresses are recorded anonymously (so-called IP masking).
