4 Other functions and offers of our website

To do so, you normally have to provide more personal data, which we use to provide the respective service and to which the aforementioned data processing principles apply.

(1) If you want to order product samples in our web shop, you need to provide us with your personal data which we need to process your order so that we can conclude the contract. Information that is mandatory for the processing of order is specially marked; other information is provided voluntarily. We process the data provided by you to process your order. To that end, we may pass your payment details onto our bankers. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 letter b GDPR.
Optional: You can voluntarily create a customer account that we can use to process your data for future purchases. When you create an account under “My account”, we store the data you provide irrevocably. You can always delete all other data, including your user account, in the customer area.

(2) We are obliged under commercial and tax legislation to store your address, payment and order data for a period of ten years. However, after two years we restrict the processing, i.e. your data is used only to comply with statutory obligations.
(3) To prevent unauthorised access by third parties to your personal data, in particular financial data, the order process is encrypted using the TLS protocol.
7 Use of our online portal (log-in possibility)
(1) If you want to use our online portal, you have to register. This requires you to provide your e-mail address and a password that you are free to change. For registration, we use the double-opt-in procedure, i.e. your registration is only complete once you have confirmed it by clicking a link in a confirmation e-mail sent to you for that purpose.
(2) When you use our portal, we store your data required to perform the contract until your permanently delete your access. We continue to store the data you have provided voluntarily during the time you use the portal unless you delete that data beforehand. You can manage and modify all the information in the protected customer area. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 letter f GDPR.
(3) To prevent unauthorised access by third parties to your personal data, in particular financial data, the order process is encrypted using the TLS protocol.
8 Newsletter
(1) With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter in which we inform you about our current attractive offers. The goods and services promoted are named in the declaration of consent.
(2) We use the double-opt-in procedure for registration for our newsletter. This means that, once you have registered, we will send an e-mail to the e-mail address provided by you requesting confirmation that you wish to receive the newsletter. Furthermore, we store the IP addresses used and times at which the registration and confirmation occurred. The purpose of this process is to prove your registration and, if necessary, to be able to investigate any possible misuse of your personal data.
(3) Your e-mail address is the only mandatory information need for dispatch of the newsletter. Provision of other, specially marked data is voluntary and that data is used to address you personally. After you have confirmed your registration, we store your e-mail address for the purposes of sending the newsletter. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 letter a GDPR.
(4) You can withdraw your consent to being sent the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe to it. To withdraw your consent, you can click on the link provided in each newsletter e-mail, use this form on the website https://www.doellken-kv.com//en/newsletter/newsletter-unsubscribe/, send an e-mail to Newsletter@doellken.com or state your withdrawal of consent in a message sent to the contact details specified in the imprint.

For the purposes of this analysis, the e-mails we send include web beacons and tracking pixels, which are one-pixel image files that are stored on our website. For the analyses, we link the data specified under § 3 and the web beacons to your e-mail address and an individual ID.
You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking the separate link provided in each e-mail or informing our by other means. The information is stored for as long as you subscribe to the newsletter. Once you unsubscribe, we stored the data only in statistical and anonymised form.
9 Use of Google Analytics
(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files, which are saved on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by a cookie on your usage of the website is sent to and stored on a Google server in the United States. However, when IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address is first of all truncated by Google when the website is accessed from within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the complete IP address transferred to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google uses this information to analyse your usage of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services connected to the use of the website and the Internet for the website operator.
(2) The IP address your browser supplies to Google Analytics is never combined with any other data held by Google.
(3) You can prevent the storage of cookies using the relevant setting in your browser software. However, we would like to point out that you may then not be able to fully use all the functions of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. Consequently, IP addresses are further processed in truncated form. It is therefore impossible for you to be identified personally. If data identifying you personally is collected, that data is immediately excluded and the personal data is thus erased immediately.
(5) We use Google Analytics to analyse usage of our website and constantly improve the user experience. Using the statistics obtained, we can improve our offer and make it more attractive for all users. For those exceptional cases in which personal data is transmitted to the USA, Google complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 letter f GDPR.
