1. General Notes

With the following information, we would like to provide you as the "data subject" with an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection laws. The use of our websites is generally possible without entering personal data. However, if you wish to use special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain your consent.

The focus of processing your personal data on this web offer of Suprema Strick- und Wirkwarenfabrik Moniek Cukierman GmbH is the provision of an online shop where you can shop online. Initially, data is collected here to ensure error-free provision of the website and the steps required for processing online purchases, such as the shopping cart and ordering process. Other data may be used to analyze user behavior or serve technical processing, automatic logging of server accesses, and statistical purposes.

The processing of personal data, such as your name, address, or email address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Suprema Strick- und Wirkwarenfabrik Moniek Cukierman GmbH. Through this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process.

As the responsible entity, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible of the personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can fundamentally have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.

The controller within the meaning of the GDPR is:

Suprema Knitting and Hosiery Factory Moniek Cukierman GmbH
Kurfürstendamm 67
10707 Berlin

Phone: (0049)30-612 20 83

E-mail: stellou@suprema.de

Representative of the controller: Ariel Cukierman

3. Data Protection Officer

The contact person for data protection: Ariel Cukierman

Phone: (0049)30-612 20 83

E-mail: stellou@suprema.de

4. Legal basis of processing

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were injured and their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information needed to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third parties. In such cases, the processing would be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. Such processing operations are particularly permitted to us because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

5. Transmission of data to third parties

Your personal data will not be transmitted to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only share your personal data with third parties if:

  1. You have given your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR,
  2. the transfer pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is permissible to safeguard our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data,
  3. in the event that there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, as well as
  4. this is legally permissible and necessary according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

To protect your data and, if necessary, to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded data processing agreements based on the Standard Contractual Clauses ("SCC") of the European Commission.

6. Technology

6.1 SSL/TLS Encryption

This page uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data, or contact inquiries, which you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that instead of "http://" there is an "https://" in the browser's address bar and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

We use this technology to protect the data you transmit.

6.2 Encrypted Payment Transactions

If, after concluding a paid contract – that is, your order in our online shop – there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g., account number for direct debit authorization), this data is required for payment processing.

Payment transactions using common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard) are conducted exclusively over an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the address bar of the browser changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock icon in your browser's address bar.

We use this technology to protect the data you transmit.

8. Contents of our website

8.1 Registration as a User

You have the option to register on our website by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to us is determined by the respective input form used for registration. The personal data you enter is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by us and for our own purposes. We may arrange for the transfer to one or more processors, such as a parcel service provider, who also uses the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to us.

By registering on our website, the IP address assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration, are also stored. The storage of this data is done against the background that only in this way can the misuse of our services be prevented, and these data enable the clarification of committed crimes if necessary. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for our protection. A transfer of this data to third parties generally does not take place, unless there is a legal obligation to disclose or the disclosure serves law enforcement purposes.

Your registration, which involves the voluntary provision of personal data, also serves to offer you content or services that, due to their nature, can only be provided to registered users. Registered individuals have the option to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from our data records.

We will provide you with information at any time upon request about which personal data about you is stored. Furthermore, we will correct or delete personal data at your request, provided that there are no legal retention obligations to the contrary. A data protection officer named in this privacy policy and all other employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

The processing of your data takes place in the interest of a comfortable and easy use of our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

8.2 Data processing when opening a customer account and for contract processing

According to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, personal data is collected and processed when you provide it to us for the execution of a contract or when opening a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. Deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done by sending a message to the above-mentioned address of the controller. We store and use the data you provide for contract processing. After the contract has been fully executed or your customer account deleted, your data will be blocked with regard to tax and commercial retention periods and deleted after these periods have expired, unless you have explicitly consented to further use of your data or a legally permitted further use of data by us has been reserved, about which we will inform you accordingly below.

8.3 Data processing for order processing

The personal data we collect is passed on to the transport company commissioned with the delivery (e.g., the postal service) within the scope of contract processing, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. We pass on your payment data to the commissioned credit institution within the scope of payment processing, provided this is necessary for payment processing. If payment service providers are used, we explicitly inform about this below. The legal basis for the transfer of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

8.4 Contract conclusions in online shop, retailer, and goods shipping

We only transmit personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the processing of the contract, for example to companies responsible for delivering the goods or the credit institution commissioned with 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. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.

8.5 Contact / Feedback in the personal area of the customer account

If you have any questions of any kind and the possibility to provide feedback, you can contact us through a feedback form provided in your personal area of your customer account. When contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of a contact form is evident from the respective contact form. This data is used and stored exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact aims at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after the final processing of your inquiry; this is the case when the circumstances indicate that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and provided that no statutory retention obligations oppose this.

8.6 Services / Digital Goods

We only transmit personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the processing of the contract, for example to the credit institution commissioned with payment processing.

No further transmission of the data takes place, or only if you have explicitly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent, for example for advertising purposes.

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

9. Newsletter dispatch

9.1 Newsletter distribution to existing customers

If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or vouchers, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or vouchers from our range by email, similar to those already purchased. For this purpose, we do not need to obtain separate consent from you in accordance with § 7 para. 3 UWG. The data processing is therefore based solely on our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, no emails will be sent by us. You have the right to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by sending a notification to the responsible party named at the beginning. Only transmission costs according to the basic tariffs will be charged to you for this. After receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be discontinued immediately.

9.2 Advertising newsletter with consent

On our website, you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to us when ordering the newsletter is derived from the input form used for this purpose. We inform our customers and business partners at regular intervals via a newsletter about our offers. Our company's newsletter can generally only be received by you if you have a valid email address and if you have registered for the newsletter delivery.

A confirmation email is sent to the email address you have entered for the first time for newsletter dispatch for legal reasons as part of the double opt-in process. This confirmation email serves to verify whether you, as the owner of the email address, have authorized the receipt of the newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the IT system you used at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to be able to trace (possible) misuse of your email address at a later time and therefore serves our legal protection.

The personal data collected as part of a newsletter subscription are used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, newsletter subscribers may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as might be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offering or changes in the technical conditions. There is no transfer of personal data collected within the newsletter service to third parties. You can cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, each newsletter contains a corresponding link. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on our website or to inform us of this in another way.

The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending newsletters is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

9.3 At the moment, no newsletters are being sent.

10. Our activities on social networks

In order to communicate with you on social networks and inform you about our services, we have our own pages there. When you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform for the processing operations triggered thereby that involve personal data, within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR. We are not the original provider of these pages but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered by the respective providers. Therefore, we point out as a precaution that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore involve data protection risks for you, as the safeguarding of your rights, e.g., to information, deletion, objection, etc., may be more difficult, and processing in social networks often takes place directly for advertising purposes or to analyze user behavior by the providers, without this being influenced by us. If usage profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the usage behavior is directly assigned to your own member profile of the social networks (if you are logged in there). The described processing operations of personal data are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider to communicate with you in a contemporary manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR. Since we have no access to the providers' data sets, we point out that you should best assert your rights (e.g., to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in social networks and the possibility to exercise your right of objection or revocation (so-called opt-out) is provided below for the respective social network providers we use:

13. Paymentservice provider

In our shop, we offer you various payment options provided by different service providers. In particular, we use services from PayPal, Stripe, and credit card payment.

13.1 PayPal

We have integrated components of PayPal on this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed through so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. Additionally, PayPal offers the possibility to process virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed through an email address, which is why there is no traditional account number. PayPal enables initiating online payments to third parties as well as receiving payments. Furthermore, PayPal acts as a trustee and offers buyer protection services.

The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

If you select "PayPal" as the payment method during the ordering process in our online shop, your data will be automatically transmitted to PayPal. By choosing this payment option, you consent to the transmission of personal data necessary for payment processing. The personal data transmitted to PayPal usually includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. Personal data related to the respective order is also necessary for processing the purchase contract. The transmission of data serves the purpose of payment processing and fraud prevention. We will transmit personal data to PayPal especially when there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and us may be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. This transmission serves the purpose of identity and creditworthiness verification. PayPal may pass on personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors, insofar as this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or the data is to be processed on behalf.

You have the option to revoke your consent to the handling of personal data at any time with PayPal. A revocation does not affect personal data that must necessarily be processed, used, or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.

The use of PayPal is carried out in the interest of proper and smooth payment processing. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The applicable PayPal privacy policy can be found at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full can be retrieved.

13.1 Stripe

If you choose a payment method from the payment service provider Stripe, the payment processing will be carried out by the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland, to whom we pass on the information you provide during the ordering process along with the information about your order (name, address, account number, bank code, possibly credit card number, invoice amount, currency, and transaction number) in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Further information on Stripe's data protection can be found at the URL https://stripe.com/de/privacy#translation.

Stripe reserves the right to conduct a credit check based on mathematical-statistical methods in order to protect the legitimate interest in determining the user's creditworthiness. The personal data necessary for a credit check and obtained in the course of payment processing may be transmitted by Stripe to selected credit agencies, which Stripe discloses to users upon request. The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). As far as score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical method. The calculation of the score values includes, among other things but not exclusively, address data. Stripe uses the result of the credit check regarding the statistical probability of payment default for the purpose of deciding on the eligibility to use the chosen payment method.

You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to Stripe or the commissioned credit agencies.

However, Stripe may still be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for the contractual payment processing.
