What Data Do We Collect and Process?

You can generally visit our website without having to enter any personal information. Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically captures connection data and usage data from the accessing computer in so-called server log files. These log files contain information about the browser used, operating system, date and time, IP address, service provider, websites the user visited previously, and possibly geo-information. Additionally, it is recorded which page you visited on our website, which pages on our server were visited, and how long a page was viewed. This data is used for the functionality and smooth operation of the website, the security of our information technology systems, and to improve our online presence.

When you order from our shop, register with us, or contact us, we ask for certain data, such as email address, billing and shipping address, and your age, to process and deliver your order or respond to your contact request.

This also includes:

    Contact inquiries (emails/contact forms)
    Newsletter orders
    Webshop
    Participation in contests.

The collected data is exclusively gathered for the respective purpose. Logfile data is anonymized and deleted after the required retention period has expired.

Contact, order, and registration data are used to process orders and provide the requested products and services. After the purpose has been fulfilled or after the legal retention periods have expired, your personal data will be deleted.

Further information, particularly on data transfer to third parties, can be found under the respective service descriptions.

Use of Cookies

"Cookies" are small files that allow us to store specific information related to you, the user, on your PC while you visit our website. Cookies help us determine the frequency of use and the number of users of our web pages, as well as to make our offerings as comfortable and efficient as possible for you. We use so-called "session cookies," which are stored temporarily only for the duration of your use of our website.

You can use our offerings without cookies. You can deactivate the storage of cookies in your browser under Extras/Internet Options, restrict them to certain websites, or set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent. You can also delete cookies from your PC's hard drive at any time. However, please note that in this case, you may have to reckon with a restricted display of the page and limited user guidance.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies," text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In case of activation of IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to fully use all the functions of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

An opt-out cookie will be set, which prevents future collection of your data when visiting this website.

For more information on terms of use and data protection, please see the Google Analytics terms or the Google Analytics overview. Please note that this website uses Google Analytics with the code "gat._anonymizeIp();" to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).

GOOGLE ADWORDS

In addition to Analytics, our website also uses the Google AdWords service. Google AdWords is an online advertising program from Google. As part of the use of the Google AdWords service, we use conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on your computer/device. These cookies expire after 30 days, do not contain personal data, and are therefore not used for personal identification. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to fully use all the functions of this website. In addition, you can disable interest-based ads on Google as well as interest-based Google ads on the web (within the Google Display Network) in your browser by activating the "Off" button at http://www.google.de/settings/ads. Further information on your setting options and data protection at Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/?fg=1.

reCAPTCHA

To protect your requests via internet form, we use the reCAPTCHA service of Google Inc. (Google). The query serves to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abusively by automated, machine processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and further used there. Your IP address is previously truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other data from Google. For this data, the differing data protection provisions of Google apply. Further information on Google's privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Social Media Links

Our website includes links that redirect you to the official Catherine pages on the social media platforms Facebook and Instagram.

Contact Form and Email Contact

You can contact us in various ways via our website. We offer you extensive personal support through our contact forms. Depending on the inquiry, we ask for your salutation, first and last name, and your email address, customer number, and possibly your address through the respective contact form.

By sending the message, further data is transmitted to us, including your IP address, date/time. For the processing of these data, your consent is obtained within the sending process, and reference is made to this privacy policy.

Alternatively, you can contact us via the email addresses info@catherine.de, schulung@catherine.de, and presse@catherine.de. In this case, the personal data transmitted with the email will be stored and used by the employees to contact you. There will be no transfer to third parties.

If you wish for a telephone contact, please provide us with your telephone number. All data from the contact with us are used to process the inquiry. They will not be used otherwise for advertising purposes. The other data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

Signing Up for Our Newsletter

Our website offers the opportunity to subscribe to a free newsletter. With this newsletter, you can be informed by email about current products, trends, contests, and other news. The data from the input mask is transmitted to us; this includes, besides the salutation, your first and last name, to enable a personal address with you. With the subscription to the newsletter, further system information is transmitted to us, such as IP address, time, and date. By confirming "Subscribe to Newsletter," you consent to the use of your email address. You can revoke this consent at any time.

When you place an order in our online shop, we need some data from you to carry out the delivery and billing of the goods within the framework of the contractual relationship. We verify your billing and delivery address because we want to ensure that your orders are correctly delivered.

In processing your orders, we use the service provider PayPal, to whom we provide the payment information of the orders and who carries out the billing for us.

Billing data for orders can be transferred to third parties as far as this is necessary for the purpose of debt collection. In this context, we particularly reserve the right to assign our claim to a collection agency or to instruct such an agency with the collection of our claim. We also reserve the right to transmit information about outstanding payments to credit agencies. Of course, this will always be done in strict compliance with legal regulations.

When shipping the goods

, we cooperate with service providers to whom we provide certain data of the order and delivery and, if applicable, payment. This includes, in particular, name and delivery information.

Your address and order data will be processed by us for our own marketing purposes. You can, of course, object to the processing or use of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time by informal notification to datenschutz@catherine.de.

General Information and Rights

You can request confirmation from us whether we process personal data from you. Under certain circumstances, you can request the restriction or deletion of the processing of your data.

As a user, you can delete your customer account at any time and have your data deleted if no online shop purchases have been made or other contractual agreements have been made with us. If the data has been used to fulfill a purchase in the online shop, deletion is only possible when the retention periods due to contractual and/or legal obligations have expired.

Of course, we will inform you upon request whether and which personal data about you are stored with us. In this case, we require sufficient proof that you are entitled to receive this information (authentication) to prevent third parties from accessing your data. We strive for the accuracy and timeliness of your data. If incorrect information has been stored, please inform us so that we can correct it immediately.

You have the right to request information about the personal data stored about you at any time.

You can also directly assert your legal rights with us or file a complaint with a supervisory authority.

In compliance with data protection regulations, we will also delete the personal data stored about you without your intervention if its knowledge is no longer required to fulfill the purpose pursued with the storage or if its storage is otherwise legally inadmissible. In some legally prescribed cases (e.g., legal retention obligations), your data may be blocked instead of deleted.

Objection

You can object to certain uses of your data, particularly the use for advertising purposes or the creation of user profiles, at any time. A notification to datenschutz@catherine.de is sufficient for this.

Revocation of Consent Declarations

You can revoke your data protection consent declarations at any time. The revocation does not affect the legality of the processing carried out based on the consent until the revocation.
