Lawfulness of data processing

By viewing the website www.build-your-tank.com, the user gives his/her consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her, especially since this may also be assumed to be in the user's overriding interest.

The user has the right to revoke his/her consent at any time (by Email to [email protected]). The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

Scope and purpose of the collection, processing and use of personal data

a)when visiting www.build-your-tank.com

our servers temporarily store every access in a log file. The following data is automatically recorded and stored by us until automated deletion after twelve months at the latest:

the IP address of the requesting computer,

the date and time of access,

the name and URL of the retrieved file,

the website from which the access was made,

the operating system of your computer and the browser you are using,

the country from which you have accessed and the language settings in the browser,

the name of your Internet access provider.

b)when registering for our newsletter

On our website you have the possibility to subscribe to our newsletter. Registration is required for this. The following data must be provided as part of the registration:

First name,

Email address.

The above data are necessary for data processing. We process this data exclusively in order to personalize the information and offers sent to you and to better align them with your interests.

By registering, you give us your consent to process the data provided for the regular dispatch of the newsletter to the address you have provided and for the statistical evaluation of usage behavior and the optimization of the newsletter. This consent constitutes our legal basis for the processing of your Email address within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO. We are entitled to commission third parties with the technical processing of advertising measures and are entitled to pass on your data for this purpose.

At the end of each newsletter you will find a link that allows you to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. As part of the unsubscription, you can voluntarily inform us of the reason for the unsubscription. After unsubscribing, your personal data will be deleted. Further processing only takes place in anonymized form for the optimization of our newsletter.

The newsletter is sent by means of the dispatch service provider "MailChimp", a newsletter dispatch platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. You can view the privacy policy of the shipping service provider here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/. The Rocket Science Group LLC d/b/a MailChimp is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement, thereby providing a guarantee of compliance with the European level of data protection (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG&status=Active). The shipping service provider is used on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO and a contract processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 para. 3 p. 1 DSGVO.

The dispatch service provider may use the data of the recipients in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assignment to a user, to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimize the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes. However, the dispatch service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass the data on to third parties.

The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from the servers of the respective newsletter service provider after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes (e.g. Email address for the member area) remains unaffected by this.

We use third-party email marketing services to send our newsletter. Our newsletter may therefore contain a so-called web beacon (tracking pixel) or similar technical means. A web beacon is a 1x1 pixel, invisible graphic that is associated with the user ID of the respective newsletter subscriber.

The recourse to corresponding services enables the evaluation of whether the Emails with our newsletter were opened. In addition, this also allows the click behavior of newsletter recipients to be recorded and evaluated. We use this data for statistical purposes and to optimize the newsletter in terms of content and structure. This enables us to better tailor the information and offers in our newsletter to the individual interests of the respective recipient. The tracking pixel is deleted when you delete the newsletter.

To prevent tracking pixels in our newsletter, please set your mail program to not display HTML in messages.

c)Registration and customer account

You have the possibility on our website to register and thus open a customer account. For this purpose, the following data must be provided:

Company or username

Email address.

The above data are necessary for data processing. We process this data exclusively in order to personalize the information and offers sent to you and to better align them with your interests.

By registering, you give us your consent to process the data provided for the regular dispatch of promotions (online or print) to the address you have provided and for the statistical evaluation of usage behavior. This consent constitutes our legal basis for the processing of your data within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO. We are entitled to commission third parties with the technical processing of advertising measures and are entitled to pass on your data for this purpose.

You can withdraw your consent to the processing of your data at any time (at [email protected]). After revocation, your personal data and thus also your registration will be deleted.

d)Provision of services by third parties

On our website, it is possible to place orders with third parties or to use services provided by third parties. The corresponding services may be provided by third parties. You will be informed accordingly about the forwarding to our partners. Depending on the service, various data will be collected in this context. This involves, for example, the following data:

Salutation,

First and last name,

Address (street, house number, postal code, city)

Phone number and

Email address.

We will mark the mandatory inputs. Failure to provide this information may impede the order process. The provision of other information is optional and does not affect the use of our website.

The data you enter will be collected by us and in some cases also forwarded to the relevant provider. For such further processing of the data, the data protection provisions of the respective provider apply in these cases. The legal basis for the processing of the aforementioned data is the fulfillment of a contract within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO.

Use of your data for advertising purposes

Build Your Tank GmbH may use personal data of users of www.build-your-tank.com to promote its services (online and/or print advertising, etc.). Build Your Tank GmbH is permitted to pass on personal data to third parties for this purpose. The user expressly agrees to this use of his/her data.

Integration of third-party services and content

It may happen that content or services from third-party providers, such as city maps or fonts from other websites, are integrated within our online offer. The integration of content from third-party providers always requires that the third-party providers perceive the IP address of the user. Without the IP address, the content cannot be sent to the user's browser. The IP address is thus required for the display of this content. Furthermore, the providers of the third-party content can set their own cookies and process the users' data for their own purposes. In doing so, user profiles can be created from the processed data. We will use this content in a data-saving and data-avoiding manner as far as possible and select reliable third-party providers with regard to data security.

The following presentation provides an overview of third-party providers and their content, along with links to their data protection declarations, which contain further information on the processing of data and, in part already mentioned here, opt-out options:

External fonts from Google, Inc., https://www.google.com/fonts ("Google Fonts"). The integration of Google Fonts is done by a server call at Google (usually in the USA). Privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/.
Opt-Out: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/.

Videos from the "Vimeo" platform of the third-party provider Vimeo, InterActiveCorp, New York. Privacy statement: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

This website uses the reCAPTCHA service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). The query serves the purpose of distinguishing whether the input is made by a human or by automated, machine processing. The query includes the sending 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. 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. Your data may also be transmitted to the USA in the process. The processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation. You can find more information about Google reCAPTCHA and the associated privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/privacy/ads/.

This website uses the Google Tag Manager. This is a solution with which we can manage so-called website tags via an interface and thus, for example, integrate Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online offering. The tag manager itself, which implements the tags, does not process any personal data of the users. With regard to the processing of users' personal data, please refer to the following information on Google services. Usage Guidelines: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

In the context of the performance of contracts, we use one or more payment service providers on the basis of the Swiss Data Protection Ordinance and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. DSGVO. In addition, we use external payment service providers on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to the Swiss Data Protection Ordinance and, to the extent necessary, pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO in order to offer our users effective and secure payment options. The data processed by the payment service providers includes inventory data, such as the name and address, bank data, such as account numbers or credit card numbers, TANs and checksums, among others, as well as the contract, totals and recipient-related information. The information is required in order to carry out the transactions. However, the data entered is only processed by the payment service providers and stored with them. We as the operator do not receive any information about (bank) account or credit card, but only information to confirm (accept) or reject the payment. Under certain circumstances, the data is transmitted by the payment service providers to credit agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to check identity and creditworthiness. In this regard, we refer to the terms and conditions and data protection information of the payment service providers. For the payment transactions, the terms and conditions and data protection information of the respective payment service providers apply, which can be accessed within the respective website or transaction applications. We also refer to these for the purpose of further information and assertion of revocation, information and other data subject rights.

Payment services provided by the payment service provider Stripe Inc, 510 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. Privacy Policy: https://stripe.com/de/privacy. The user agrees that his/her entered data will be forwarded to Stripe for the purpose of payment processing.

Disclosure of data to third parties

We will only pass on your personal data if you have expressly consented to this, if there is a legal obligation to do so or if this is necessary to enforce our rights, in particular to enforce claims arising from the relationship between you and us.

In addition, we pass on your data to third parties insofar as this is necessary in the use of the website for the provision of the services requested by you as well as the analysis of your user behavior. Insofar as this is necessary for the purposes mentioned in sentence 1, the transfer may also take place abroad. Insofar as the website contains links to third-party websites, we no longer have any influence on the collection, processing, storage or use of personal data by the third party after clicking on these links and we accept no responsibility for this.

Transfer of personal data abroad

We are also entitled to transfer your personal data to third companies (contracted service providers) abroad, insofar as this is necessary for the data processing described in this privacy policy. These are obligated to data protection to the same extent as we ourselves. If the level of data protection in a country does not correspond to that in Switzerland or the European Union, we will ensure by contract that the protection of your personal data corresponds to that in Switzerland or the EU at all times.

Data security

We use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data stored with us against manipulation, partial or complete loss and against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

You should always keep your payment information confidential and close the browser window when you have finished communicating with us, especially if you share the computer with others.

We also take internal data protection very seriously. Our employees and the service companies we commission have been instructed by us to maintain confidentiality and to comply with the provisions of data protection law.

Cookies

Cookies help in many aspects to make your visit to our website easier, more pleasant and more meaningful. Cookies are information files that your web browser automatically stores on your computer's hard drive when you visit our website. Cookies do not damage your computer's hard drive, nor do they transmit users' personal information to us.

We use cookies, for example, to better tailor the information, offers and advertising displayed to you to your individual interests. Their use does not result in us obtaining new personal data about you as an online visitor. Most Internet browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a message always appears when you receive a new cookie.

Disabling cookies may prevent you from using all the features of our website.

Data transmission security with SSL

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Tracking Tools

On our website we use so-called tracking tools. These tracking tools are used to analyze your surfing behavior on our website. This observation is done for the purpose of demand-oriented design and continuous optimization of our website. In this context, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and small text files stored on your computer ("cookies") are used.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. We have also extended Google Analytics on this website with the code "anonymizeIP". This guarantees the masking of your IP address so that all data is collected anonymously. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality 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) to Google and 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?hl=de. As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics by selecting <a href="javascript:gaOptout()">inserting a click</a> on this link. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents future collection of your data when visiting this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again. [Note Instructions on how to integrate the opt-out cookie can be found at: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/?hl=de#disable.

We continue to use Google Analytics to analyze data from Double Click cookies and also Ads for statistical purposes. If you do not wish this, you can deactivate it via the Ads Preferences Manager (http://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/?hl=de).

We use Google Analytics including the functions of Universal Analytics or Google Analytics 4 (GA4). This allows us to analyze the activities on our pages across devices (e.g. accesses via laptop and later via a tablet). This is made possible by the pseudonymous assignment of a user ID to a user. Such an assignment occurs, for example, when you register for a customer account or log in to your customer account. However, no personal data is forwarded to Google. Even if additional functions are added to Google Analytics with Universal Analytics or Google Analytics 4, this does not mean that a restriction of data protection measures such as IP masking or the browser add-on is associated with this.

Note on data transfers abroad, in particular to the USA

On www.build-your-tank.com, personal data is used solely for the implementation and processing of the services and offers provided on the website. This data may also be disclosed abroad for this purpose. The user expressly agrees to this.

For the sake of completeness, we would like to point out for users who are resident or domiciled in Switzerland that there are surveillance measures in place in the USA by US authorities which generally allow the storage of all personal data of all persons whose data has been transferred from Switzerland to the USA. This is done without any differentiation, limitation or exception based on the objective pursued and without any objective criterion that would make it possible to limit the access of the U.S. authorities to the data and their subsequent use to very specific, strictly limited purposes that are capable of justifying the intrusion associated both with the access to these data and with their use. Furthermore, we would like to point out that in the U.S. there are no legal remedies available to data subjects from Switzerland that would allow them to gain access to the data concerning them and to obtain its correction or deletion, or that there is no effective judicial legal protection against general access rights of U.S. authorities. We explicitly draw the attention of the data subject to this legal and factual situation so that he or she can make an appropriately informed decision to consent to the use of his/her data.

We would like to point out to users residing in a member state of the EU that the USA does not have a sufficient level of data protection from the perspective of the European Union.

General disclaimer

All information on our website has been carefully checked. We make every effort to ensure that our offer up-to-date, correct and complete information. Nevertheless, the occurrence of errors can not be completely excluded, so we can not guarantee the completeness, accuracy and timeliness of information, including journalistic-editorial nature. Liability claims regarding damage caused by the use of any information provided, including any kind of information which is incomplete or incorrect, will therefore be rejected.

We may change or delete text at our discretion and without notice and are under no obligation to update any content on this website. The use of or access to this website is at the visitor's own risk. We, our clients or partners are not responsible for any damages, such as direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, alleged to have been caused by the use of this website and consequently assume no liability for such damages.

We also assume no responsibility or liability for the content and availability of third-party websites that can be accessed via external links on this website. The operators of the linked sites are exclusively responsible for their content. We expressly distance ourselves from all third-party content that may be relevant under criminal or liability law or that may offend common decency.

Data retention

We store personal data only for as long as it is necessary to use the above tracking, advertising and analysis services within the scope of our legitimate interest, to perform services to the above extent that you have requested or to which you have given your consent, and to comply with our legal obligations.

We retain contractual data for longer periods, as this is required by statutory retention obligations. Retention obligations that require us to retain data result from accounting regulations and tax regulations. According to these regulations, business communications, concluded contracts and accounting records must be retained for up to 10 years or, with respect to users residing in France, for up to 5 years. As far as we no longer need this data to perform the services for you, the data will be blocked. This means that the data may then only be used for accounting and tax purposes.
