II. Which data is processed?


1. Orders

We use data which you provide us with in the course of the order process (e.g. name, addresses, email addresses, bank details) to fulfil contracts or execute precontractual measures. We may also process the data you provide in order to inform you of other interesting products from our portfolio.

Why is this data processed?

Order processing: We process this data for purposes relating to accepting orders, shipping, billing, payment processing, customer service, debt collection and, where applicable, executing or defending against legal claims arising from the supply relationship. The legal basis is Article 6 (1)(b) GDPR. External service providers (call centre agencies) support us with order processing. These process your data exclusively according to our instructions and not for their own purposes. Should you fail to pay bills despite repeated reminders, we will, if necessary, transmit data to debt collection agencies for the purpose of fiduciary collection; the legal basis is also Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR.

Shipping of ordered goods: We cooperate with various transport companies in shipping the ordered goods. We forward the data required to deliver the ordered goods to these transport companies. If you order goods from third party vendors (additional purchase products), we may forward your data to these vendors for the purpose of direct shipping. Legal basis: Article 6 (1)(b) GDPR. In order to ensure that the ordered goods are delivered properly, we work with external service providers who support us in controlling the shipment. We make the data required for this purpose available to our service providers. The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR.

Credit check: We generally provide you with various payment options. If you choose an insecure payment method (e.g. purchase on account), we have a legitimate interest in protecting ourselves from possible defaults on payment. We may therefore obtain creditworthiness information from infoscore Consumer Data GmbH, Rheinstraße 99, 76532 Baden-Baden, or CRIF GmbH, Radlkoferstraße 2, 81373 München, before allowing you to use these payment methods. For this purpose, we will transmit the personal data required for a credit assessment and use the information received on the statistical likelihood of a payment default for a balanced decision on the justification, execution or termination of the contractual relationship. The credit check may include probability values (score values) calculated on the basis of scientifically recognised mathematical and statistical procedures, taking address data, among other things, into account. Your interests worthy of protection will be taken into account in accordance with legal requirements. We will allow you to use your desired payment method regardless of your score value. Legal basis: Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR.

How long will this data be stored? Do I have to provide this data?

We may store your data for as long as this is necessary in order to fulfil the contract. We may store much of your data until the contract has been fulfilled and thereafter within the usual limitation period of three years. We may store your data for the assertion of or defence against legal claims until the maximum limitation period has expired. If we are obliged to retain certain data, we are entitled to store this data until the retention periods set down in section 257 of the Handelsgesetzbuch (Commercial Code) and

section 147 of the Abgabenordnung (Tax Code). The legal basis is Article 6 (1)(c) GDPR in connection with these laws. These periods may be up to ten years.

2. Website

When you visit our website (incl. help.strauss.de), we process your IP address, the date and time of your visit, information on the browser you are using, including language setting, and possibly your operating system, the address of the website from which you visited our website (referrer URL) and information on the files you call up. Your browser automatically transmits this data to your Internet service provider and the latter transmits it to us.

Why is this data processed?

We process this data so that you can load our website, for the purposes of analysis and guaranteeing the security of our systems, to optimise our website, and for statistical purposes. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. The legal basis is Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website is correctly displayed on your screen and that we can determine and rectify the causes of disruptions.

How long will this data be stored? Do I have to provide this data?

This data will be stored in log files for a maximum of thirty days. The provision of this data is not mandatory and is also not required in order to conclude a contract. It would, however, not be possible for technical reasons for you to visit our website without this data being processed.

Data Processing by Third Parties

On our website, we use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) provided by the service provider "Fastly" (Fastly Inc., 475 Brannan St., Suite 300, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). The CDN helps us deliver content from our online platform, such as large media files, graphics, or program scripts, faster and more securely through regionally distributed servers connected via the Internet. Additionally, we employ a Web Application Firewall (WAF) from Fastly to swiftly identify and prevent attacks on our website.

In connection with the aforementioned purposes, technical connection data from server access (IP address, date, time, requested page, browser information) is processed. Storage is only carried out in individual cases in an anonymized form and for a maximum duration of 30 days. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in ensuring and improving the stability and functionality of our website.

The transfer of data to the USA is carried out based on the Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission. Furthermore, Fastly has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, ensuring compliance with the European data protection standards for data transfers to the USA, according to the European Commission. Fastly processes the aforementioned data based on a data processing agreement, which is why Fastly is not considered a "third party."

For more information on data protection at Fastly, please refer to https://www.fastly.com/privacy.

3. Cookies

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files containing an identification number. Cookies are stored on your computer or mobile device when you call up our website (incl. help.strauss.de). When you call up our website, your computer or mobile end device can be recognised using this identification number. Cookies cannot run programs or transfer viruses to your computer. They are designed to make our services more user-friendly and more effective.

Which type of cookies does Engelbert Strauss use?

Our cookies are used in accordance with the GDPR and the TTDSG. We use the following category of cookies:

Necessary cookies

Some functions on our website (incl. help.strauss.de) are not possible if cookies are not set. These are required so that the browser is recognised after changing websites. These functions include e.g. the possibility of placing products in the shopping cart or logging into your customer account on our website.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies enable us to record and save your user settings, for instance the selected language, your username etc.

This also includes cookies that analyse the surfing behaviour of our users and transfer the following information, for example: Entered search terms; frequency of website call-ups; the use of website functions, the data and duration of the visit. This user data is processed anonymously. It is no longer possible to assign the data to the active user.

Personal cookies (for analysis and advertising purposes in a pseudonymous form)

We also use cookies that allow the user's surfing behaviour to be analysed in a pseudonymous form. In this way, the following information can also be transmitted, for example: Entered search terms; frequency of website call-ups; the use of website functions, the data and duration of the visit.

The user data collected in this way is pseudonymised by technical means. This prevents data being assigned to the active user. The data is not saved with other data. This statistical data helps us to tailor our online sites to personal interests and quantify the efficiency of our advertising campaigns.

Why does Engelbert Strauss use cookies?

We use necessary and functional cookies to make visiting our website an attractive and user-friendly experience. They are also necessary to allow and facilitate the use of certain functions. We also use analysis and advertising cookies to create statistics on the use of our website. The analysis cookies show how our website is used so that we can continuously optimise our services.

The legal basis for the use of necessary cookies is Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). Necessary cookies are required to view our website and use basic functions. Functional cookies are used based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). We have a justified interest in enabling user-friendly use of our websites and improving the quality of our website and the associated contents. The legal basis for the use of analysis and advertising cookies is Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). We only use these, if you have given us your consent. This may also include the associated transfer of data to the USA. We would therefore like to point out that the USA does not have an adequate data protection level within the meaning of the EU Regulation 2016/679, especially because there is a risk that, in certain statutory circumstances, the US authorities have the right to access your data for controlling and monitoring purposes, without there being any appropriate remedial measures.

How long will this data be stored?

Some cookies are deleted after the browser session ends (so-called transient cookies, especially session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and allow us to recognise your computer on your next visit (so-called permanent cookies). You can find out how long they are stored in your web browser’s cookie settings.

Do I need to provide this data? How can I prevent the use of cookies?

There is no obligation to use cookies. You can change how cookies are used at any time by means of the following settings:

Cookie setting

We would like to point out that deactivating cookies may impact on how our website works.

You can also prevent cookies via certain settings in your web browser. You need to make these settings separately for every browser and device that you use. You can also delete set cookies at any time via the web browser or other software programs.


4. Website analytics/online advertising

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics. This is an analytics service by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (Google). It produces pseudonymous user profiles for visitors to our website. Google uses permanent cookies (cf. II.3). The information generated by the cookie concerning your use of the website is processed by Google in the USA. This information is the data named above under II.2. Google also processes the search term you used to find our website via a search engine. We use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymisation. Google shortens your IP address within the European Union or the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. You can find further information on Google Analytics on the Google website at: support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

Why is this data processed?

The data is processed for the purposes of market research and needs-based design of our website. Google processes this data on our behalf in order to evaluate the use of our website and to compile reports for us on activity on our website. Data is processed based on your consent. The legal base for A/B testing and the downstream personalisation is Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR and Article 49 (1)(a) GDPR.

How long will this data be stored? Do I have to provide this data?

The data is retained for a maximum of fourteen months. The provision of this data is not mandatory and is not required in order to conclude a contract with us. You can prevent the storage of cookies and thus the use of Google Analytics in your browser's settings (see II.3). You can also prevent the data produced by the cookie from being processed by downloading and installing the plug-in available via the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Universal Analytics

This page also uses Google Analytics (see information on “Google Analytics” above) to provide cross-device analysis of the surfing behaviour of visitors to our website, which is carried out via a user ID. You can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your use by means of your settings (see above, section II.3).

Google Ads (Google Adwords)

We use the Google Ads services Google Ads Conversion and Google Ads Remarketing. These are online marketing services by the company Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (Google). The data about how you use our website that is generated as part of these services is processed by Google in the USA.

Google Ads Conversion

We use the online marketing service Google Ads to place adverts in the Google advertising network (e.g. in search results, in videos, on websites etc.), so that they are shown to users who probably have an interest in our products. Using the online marketing service ‘Google Ads Conversion’, we can determine the anonymous number of users that clicked our advert in the Google advertising network and were sent to a website on which a so-called conversion-tracking-tag has been installed; in this way we receive information about the conversion of our adverts and can establish how successful our advertising campaigns are.

This is achieved by creating a pseudonym user profile that is saved in a permanent cookie. We are not able to identify the actual user, we only receive a statistics-based analysis which we can use to see how effective individual advertising measures are.

Google Ads Remarketing

We also use Google Ads Remarketing. This function allows us to show users of our website adverts that correspond to their interests on other websites of the Google advertising network. This is achieved by using a cookie that analyses the interaction of the user on our website, e.g. which products the user is interested in, so that this user can be shown adverts that are relevant for him/her on other websites once they have left our website. The cookies used for this purpose serve to identify a web browser, but not to identify a person.

Why is this data processed?

The data is processed for market research and the needs-based design of our websites. Google processes this data on our behalf to analyse how our website is used and to optimise our advertising to the needs of our customers. To this end, a job processing contract has been concluded with Google. Data is processed based on your consent acc. to Art. 6 Par. 1 S. 1 lit. a) and Art 49 Par. 1 S. 1 lit. a) DSGVO; you can revoke this consent at any time for future effect.

How long is this data saved? Am I obliged to provide this data?

The data is stored for a maximum of 367 days. Provision of this data is not mandatory and is not necessary to conclude a contract with us. You can prevent cookies from being saved and therefore the use of Google Ads Conversion and Google Ads Remarketing by means of your settings (see above, section II.3) or alternatively, you can change the settings of your browser. You can also prevent the processing of the data that was generated by the cookie by downloading and installing the plug-in from this link: http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.

For more information about data privacy at Google, please visit the following website: google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy and services.google.com/sitestats/de.html.

Piwik PRO

We use the web analytics service Piwik PRO, provided by Piwik PRO GmbH, located at Kurfürstendamm 21, 10719 Berlin (hereinafter referred to as "Piwik PRO"). In this process, cookies are set, which allow us to analyse your user behaviour among other things.

Using Piwik PRO, we analyse information about your visits to our website (such as the sequence of visited subpages) for analytical purposes, in order to understand how visitors use our website. The purpose is to analyse the click behaviour of visitors to our website, so that we can continuously adapt and improve our website to meet your needs.

Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR provides the legal basis for this. We have a legitimate interest in being able to carry out a reach measurement to the extent described above.

The data compiled by Piwik PRO is stored by us for a maximum of 25 months. Providing this data is not mandatory and is not necessary for using our website. You can deactivate the web analytics service Piwik PRO by adjusting its use through your settings (see above, section II.3.).

Piwik PRO processes your data on our behalf. For this purpose, we have concluded a data processing agreement with Piwik PRO, whereby Piwik PRO is not considered a 'third party.' Your data is processed exclusively within the EU/EEA. No data is transferred to third countries outside the EU and the EEA.

For further information on data protection at Piwik PRO, please visit https://piwik.pro/privacy-policy/.

A/B Testing

We use software from SAS AB Tasty, 3 impasse de la Planchette, 75003 Paris. This facilitates so-called A/B Tests and web personalisation. This allows us to analyse how users navigate our web pages. This allows us to regularly improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user.

We store cookies as well as tracking pixels (invisible graphics loaded when you call up the website) on your computer for this evaluation. Before carrying out analysis we further process the IP addresses in shortened form, which excludes the possibility of relating them directly to persons. We do not combine the IP address transmitted by your browser with other data we have collected.

Why is this data processed?

We process this data in order to optimise our website. The legal basis for A/B testing and downstream personalisation is Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR and Article 49 (1)(a) GDPR.

How long is this data saved? Do I have to provide this data?

The data is stored for a maximum of 13 months. Provision of this data is not mandatory and not necessary to enter into a contract with us. You can prevent analysis via the settings (see above, section II.3). If you prevent cookies being saved, we would like to point out that you may not be able to use all the functions of our website. You can also prevent cookies being saved via the browser settings.

Recruitment anlyses

We use a recruitment analysis application from VONQ GmbH, Georg-Glock-Straße 8, 40474 Düsseldorf. This enables us to determine, by means of anonymous statistics, which job advertisements visitors use to access our careers section and our application forms, thus determining the performance of our job advertisements.

For this purpose, cookies are stored on your computer and your IP address is processed. This is immediately anonymised, with only a raw copy being kept for 30 days. After this time, your IP address is permanently deleted.

Why is this data processed?

The purpose of processing is the optimisation of our job advertisements. Processing is based on your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 a) DSGVO. VONQ GmbH processes data exclusively on our behalf. For this purpose, a corresponding contract for order processing has been concluded with VONQ GmbH.

Do I have to provide this data?

"The provision of this data is not mandatory and not required for the use of our website.

You can prevent the analysis via your settings (see above, point II.3)."



5. Google Maps

We use the service 'Google Maps' by the supplier Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter called 'Google') to show you how you can find us (e.g. our workwear stores pop-up stores etc.). Here, corresponding map contents are called up by Google servers. It is possible that Google may log and save, amongst other things, your IP address, when external Google servers in the USA are called up. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that your data may be processed outside the European Union (EU) region. If the respective sub-page is called up (for instance, by actively clicking the button 'Information and opening hours' under 'Workwearstores'), you give your consent for the data to be processed by Google as described above. For more information on data protection at Google, please refer to policies.google.com/privacy.

Data is processed based on your consent. Legal basis is Art. 6 Par. 1 a) DSGVO and Art. 49 Par. 1 a) DSGVO.



6. YouTube

Within the scope of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1) S. 1 f) GDPR, we have included Youtube videos in our online services which are saved on www.youtube.com and can be played directly from our homepage. The plugin serves to enhance the design of our websites.

These videos are embedded in our homepage so that the setting of Youtube cookies is blocked until 'play' is actively clicked. By clicking the 'play' button, you grant consent for Youtube to set cookies on the end device you are using; these can also be used to analyse the usage behaviour for market research and marketing purposes.

YouTube is service of the company Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you call up a website with one of these plugins whilst visiting our online sites, a connection is made to the YouTube servers and the plugin is shown. As a result, the YouTube-server is informed that you have visited our website. If you are logged in as a YouTube member, YouTube will assign this information to your personal user account. If the plugin is used, e.g. by clicking the start button of a video, this information is also assigned to your user account. You can prevent this assignment if, before using our websites, you log out of your YouTube user account or any other accounts of the companies YouTube LLC und Google Inc. and also delete the respective cookies of these companies.

The data collected by cookies is usually sent to a server in the USA where it is saved. If data is transferred to the USA, the data transfer is based on standard contractual clauses.

For more information about data processing and information about data protection by YouTube (Google), please visit google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

For more information about the use of cookies by Youtube, please refer to Google's cookie policy at policies.google.com/technologies/types?.



7. Creating a customer account

You can create a customer account in our online shop for future orders (“register” - order and create account).

Why is this data processed?

Your customer data is processed here to simplify and accelerate future orders. You can log in with your login details in the online shop after registering. If you log in as a registered customer, your login details will be transmitted to us for the purpose of checking your identity. After you log in with your login details, the customer data we have stored on you will be transferred to any new orders. II.1. otherwise applies accordingly.

We may process the data you provide on registration on the basis of Article 6 (1)(b) GDPR, insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract or to execute precontractual measures; clause II.1. applies here. We may also process data which you have voluntarily shared with us on registration according to Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR and Article 49 (1)(a) GDPR if you have consented to processing.

How long will this data be stored? Do I have to provide this data?

The data provided in the course of registration will be deleted as soon as you delete your customer account. If you have not logged in for more than two years since your last order, your registration will be deleted. We may be entitled to store it for longer according to II.1. The provision of personal data by registering is not legally or contractually required.


8. Contact form and email contact

We process data, which you have entered in our contact form or transmitted to us by email, to allow us to process and answer your query.

We may process data which you enter into our contact form according to Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR and Article 49 (1)(a), provided that you have consented to processing. If you enter sensitive information into the “message” field containing particular categories of data (e.g. origin, political or religious convictions, union membership, health or sexual data), you also consent to the processing of this data. If you transmit data to us by email, the legal basis is Article (6)(1)(f) GDPR. If you are also a customer of ours, the legal basis is Article 6 (1)(b) GDPR.

This data will be deleted twelve months at the latest after we receive your query, unless we are entitled or obliged to store it for longer due to legal regulations in connection with Article 6 (1)(c) GDPR. If you are also a customer of ours, clause II.1. shall apply as regards storage periods.

The provision of this data is not mandatory and is not required in order to conclude a contract. The use of the contact form does require, however, that you provide an email address, because we cannot reply otherwise. If you provide further data, you do so voluntarily.



9. Contact via live chat

You can still contact us via live chat. For this we use the chat software of the company "Zendesk" (Zendesk Inc., 1019 Market Street in San Francisco, CA 94103 USA). You can use the chat like a contact form to chat with our staff in near real time. When you start the chat, the following personal data is collected:

  • Conversation ID
  • Author ID
  • received date
  • channel source
  • amount of sent data
  • and if given: first name, last name and e-mail address

In order to be able to use the chat, corresponding cookies are set if you have previously given your consent to personal cookies. You can prevent the storage of cookies via your settings (see above, Section II.3) or alternatively by changing the settings in your browser. Depending on the course of the conversation with our employees, further personal data may arise in the chat, which you enter or transmit. The nature of this data depends heavily on your request or the problem you describe to us. In addition, pages from our online shop that you have previously viewed can be displayed to our customer service. The processing of all this data serves to provide you with a quick and efficient contact option and thus improve our customer service. The legal basis for the processing of your data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, which you can revoke at any time with effect for the future. If your request is made to prepare / initiate a contract with you, Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR is the legal basis.

Your data will be deleted at the latest after the retention periods specified in Section 257 of the German Commercial Code and Section 147 of the Tax Code have expired after receipt of your contact request, depending on the nature of your request. The legal basis is Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR in conjunction with the aforementioned laws. The deadlines can be up to 10 years. The storage of the chat data also serves the purpose of ensuring the security of our information technology systems. At the same time, this is our legitimate interest, which is why processing is permitted under Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Zendesk processes the aforementioned data on our behalf. We have entered into an order processing agreement with Zendesk, which means that Zendesk is not considered a "third party". Zendesk processes your data in the EU/EEA and partly in the USA. For this purpose, the company has Binding Corporate Rules (BCR) which have been approved by the Irish Data Protection Authority and thus legitimize secure data transfers to third countries outside the EU and the EEA. For more information, see www.zendesk.de/blog/update-privacy-shield-invalidation-european-court-justice/.

If you do not agree to us processing your request via Zendesk, you can alternatively contact us by e-mail, telephone, contact form or fax.

Further information on the processing of your data by Zendesk can also be found at www.zendesk.de/privacy-notice/.



10. Advertising

We process your data for the purposes of sending email advertising (this includes, among other things, new products, promotions, offers and customer satisfaction surveys), if you provided us with your email address when ordering, and print advertising. In this way, we make sure that you receive catalogues tailored to you in addition to the main catalogue. The legal basis is Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in sending our customers direct advertising within the legally allowed scope.

In addition, we use the rating platform of Trustpilot A/S (Trustpilot A/S, Pilestræde 58, 5, 1112 Copenhagen, Denmark, hereinafter "Trustpilot"). If you, as a user, rate us or otherwise provide feedback via the rating platform or process, Trustpilot's General Terms and Conditions, Terms of Use and Privacy Notice will apply.

In order to verify that the rating persons have actually used our services, we transmit the necessary data from you (name, email address and order number or item number) to Trustpilot on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.

We have concluded an order processing contract with Trustpilot, which means that Trustpilot is not considered a third party.

You may object, free of charge, to the use of your data for direct marketing purposes without incurring transmission costs other than the basic tariffs. You can object by emailing datenschutz@strauss.de or by post with the addition “Data Protection ” to Engelbert Strauss GmbH & Co. KG, Frankfurter Straße 98-108, 63599 Biebergemünd.

If you object or revoke any consent for certain advertising measures, your data will be blocked for further processing for advertising purposes or will be deleted.



11. Newsletter

You have the option to subscribe to a free newsletter. When you register for our newsletter on our website, the email address you provide will be transmitted to us. You also have the option of receiving a tailored, personalised email newsletter from us. We produce the latter on the basis of the data you provide us for this purpose via the input form.

Why is my data processed?

We process your email address for the purpose of regularly sending our newsletter. After subscribing to the email newsletter, you will receive an email from us with a link to verify your email address. After confirming your email address you may provide more data via a separate input form. We process the data entered here for the purpose of producing a tailored, personalised and sector-specific newsletter.

The legal basis is your consent, which you gave us when subscribing to the newsletter or a personalised newsletter (Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR and Article 49 (1)(a) GDPR). The legal basis for sending the newsletter after you purchase goods or services is Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR and Section 7 (3) UWG (Unfair Competition Act).

How do I unsubscribe from the newsletter? How long will the data be stored?

If in the future you no longer wish to receive the newsletter, you may withdraw your consent to receive the newsletter at any time via the unsubscribe link in the newsletter or via our unsubcribe form in the online shop under “Newsletter” (for further information on the right of withdrawal see IV.).

The data you provided when subscribing to the newsletter will be promptly deleted after you withdraw your consent or unsubscribe from the newsletter. If you are also a customer of ours, the storage periods given above under II.1 will apply.

Do I have to provide this data?

Our newsletter is a voluntary offer. However, you must provide your email address in order to receive the newsletter. Additional data is required if you wish to receive a tailored, personalised newsletter (e.g. profession/sector for the production of a sector-specific newsletter, surname to address the newsletter to you personally and location for sector-specific campaigns in your geographical area).


12. Fraud prevention

To secure order processes, we use the data you provide to check for anomalies with respect to the specific order. We have a justified interest to do so because we want to avoid payment defaults and protect customers against abuse of their personal data. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Par. 1 f) DSGVO.

When orders are placed in our online shop, contract processing data (e.g. purchased object, name, postal address, e-mail address, delivery address, payment method and bank data) and the usage data about visits to our website (e.g. at the start, end and scope of the use) are processed together with a cookie and/or a visitor ID. This could contain anonymous data of the end device used to visit the website, and which is most probably recognised again during further visits. The sole purpose of processing here is to protect your customer account, the websites that you visit and services that you use on our websites from fraud and abuse (e.g. against takeover of user accounts, the automated creation of falsified user account or the use of stolen identities or payment data).

If there is a suspicion of fraud or abuse, one of our employees checks the assessment and the underlying clues. If as a result the conclusion of a contract is rejected, you will be informed. On request, we will also explain to you the most important reasons for the decision. You then have the opportunity to put forward your case, and the decision is reviewed again by an employee.

We prevent fraud ourselves or with the support of an external service provider. This service provider will only process your data in line with our instructions and not for its own purposes.

13. Additional data use when using the e.s. app

If you install and use the e.s. app, we process the following data in addition to the data stated in the about sections of this paragraph II:

Google Firebase

We use Google's Firebase software to help us improve usage of our app, e.g. by analysing crash reports. Firstly, Firebase identifies the scope and which user groups call up certain contents in the app. This allows us to make the app and its contents more attractive for the users.

Firebase uses identifiers (‘IDs’) so that it can assign the stated information to a device. However, the usage data is analysed anonymously and does not allow any conclusions to be made about you personally. You will find more information about Google Firebase at: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy/

Why is this data used?

We use the data from Firebase for market research purposes, and to improve the user-friendliness and needs-based design of the app. Your data is processed in compliance with the legal regulation Art. 6 Par. 1 f) German Data Protection Act.

Do I need to supply this data? How long is this data saved?

You are not obliged to provide us with this data, nor is it necessary to conclude a contract with us. You can object to the collection of your data and the creation of IDs that Firebase assigns to a device by clicking the menu item ‘Data protection’ under ‘Settings – Legal aspects’ and switching off ‘Data processing’ by moving the slide to the left. This is how you can deactivate data collection by Firebase. Data will be stored for a maximum period of 14 months.




III. Is my data forwarded to third parties?

Some data may also be forwarded to the following recipients if this is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract (Article 6 (1)(b) GDPR), we are legally obliged to do so (Article 6 (1)(c) GDPR), or this is necessary in order to safeguard our legitimate interests (Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR):

  • Banks and payment service providers, for payment processing
  • Collection agencies
  • Manufacturers, for the purpose of processing warranty claims
  • Transport companies, postal service providers, service provider for shipping control
  • Prosecution authorities, courts, arbitration boards, auditors, lawyers or tax advisers
  • Insurers, for processing any claims

We may use external service providers to process your data. We have chosen and commissioned these carefully, and they are bound by our instructions and are regularly checked. These service providers include call centre agencies, lettershops and printers, data collection and maintenance agencies, IT service providers, service providers for data carrier destruction and shipping control service providers. The legal basis is Article 28 GDPR where these service providers are order processors.



IV. Which rights do I have in relation to my data?

You may request information from us concerning whether and how we are processing your data under the conditions set down in Article 15 GDPR. You can demand that your data is corrected and perhaps completed according to Article 16 GDPR. You have the right to ask us to delete your data under the conditions set down in Article 17 GDPR or Article 18 GDPR. Article 20 GDPR gives you the right to receive your data transmitted on the basis of consent or a contract, if processing is taking place automatically. If you so wish and it is technically possible, we will transmit this data to a third party. Your rights may be restricted or excluded by law under particular conditions. You have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority at any time.

If we are processing data to safeguard our interests exclusively on the basis of Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your data for reasons relating to your particular situation. If you do object, we will no longer process the relevant data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or processing is intended for the execution of legal claims.

You may also object at any time to the processing of your data for advertising purposes without incurring any costs other than transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. You can object to the sending of advertising emails at any time without charge, e.g. by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the end of such an email. You can also object by emailing datenschutz@strauss.de or by post with the addition “Data Protection” to the address given under I. above.

If you have consented to the processing of data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the legality of the processing which took place prior to the withdrawal. You can object in an email to datenschutz@strauss.de or by post with the addition of “Data Protection” to the address given under I. above. Data will no longer be processed after you have withdrawn your consent. This does not apply if we are legally entitled or obliged to process it.
