To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, which are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after closing the browser (so-called "session cookies"), while others remain on your device for a longer period of time and enable the saving of page settings (so-called "persistent cookies"). In the latter case, you can find the storage duration in the overview of the cookie settings of your web browser.

If personal data is processed by individual cookies used by us, the processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR either for the execution of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in the case of consent given, or in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the visit to the site.

5) CONTACTING US

5.1 When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), personal data is processed exclusively for the purpose of processing and answering your request and only to the extent necessary for this. The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact aims at a contract, an additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and provided that no statutory retention obligations conflict with this.

5.2 WhatsApp Business
We offer visitors to our website the opportunity to contact us via the WhatsApp messaging service of WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. For this purpose, we use the so-called "Business version" of WhatsApp. If you contact us via WhatsApp regarding a specific transaction (e.g. an order placed), we store and use the mobile number you use on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR to process and answer your request.

Based on the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide further data (order number, customer number, address or e-mail address) in order to be able to assign your inquiry to a specific process. If you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (e.g. about the range of services, availability or our website), we store and use the mobile number you use on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient and timely provision of the requested information.

Your data will only be used to answer your inquiry via WhatsApp. No disclosure to third parties takes place.

Please note that WhatsApp Business gains access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transfers phone numbers stored in the address book to a server of the parent company Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. For the operation of our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device whose address book only stores the WhatsApp contact data of users who have also contacted us via WhatsApp.

This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact data is stored in our address book has already consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR when first using the app on their device by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use. A transmission of data of users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is thus excluded. The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by WhatsApp as well as your related rights and setting options for protecting your privacy can be found in WhatsApp's privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy

6) DATA PROCESSING WHEN OPENING A CUSTOMER ACCOUNT

You can delete your customer account at any time by sending a message to the above-mentioned address of the controller.

9) ONLINE MARKETING

9.1 Facebook Pixel for the creation of Custom Audiences (with Cookie Consent Tool) Within our online offering, the so-called "Facebook Pixel" of the social network Facebook is used, which is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"). If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us and displayed on Facebook, an addition is made to the URL of our linked page by Facebook Pixel. If our page allows the sharing of data with Facebook via Pixel, this URL parameter is written into the user's browser via a cookie that our linked page itself sets.

This cookie is then read by Facebook Pixel and enables the data to be forwarded to Facebook. With the help of the Facebook Pixel, Facebook is able, on the one hand, to determine the visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Facebook Ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook Pixel to display the Facebook Ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products, which are determined based on the visited websites) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences").

With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook Ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not appear annoying. This also allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of the Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook advertisement (so-called "conversion").

The collected data is anonymous to us, so it does not allow us to draw conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook's data usage policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

The data can enable Facebook and its partners to display advertisements on and off Facebook. The data processing associated with the use of the Facebook Pixel only takes place if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

9.2 Google Ads
Provider / Recipient of the data: Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow Street, Dublin D04 E5W5, Ireland as an independent controller

Purposes of processing:

  • Conversion Tracking: If you have reached our website via a Google ad, we and Google want to recognize that someone clicked on an ad, was redirected to the website, reached a predetermined landing page ("Conversion Site"), and made/executed a purchase or service defined as a conversion (Conversion Tracking). For Google Conversion Tracking, we use the Google Pixel, as well as the Google Enhanced Conversion and Consent Mode features. We only use all features if you have given us your consent to Google Ads. To increase the accuracy of our conversion measurement, we also use Google Enhanced Conversion Tracking. For this purpose, we transmit hashed first-party conversion data, such as your hashed email address, to Google via the Google Ads API, so that Google itself does not have direct access to input fields and corresponding data on our website. Google checks the hashed Breuninger data against Google user data. If there is a match, a conversion is reported to the Breuninger Google account, which helps us optimize our advertising measures. In addition, we use Google's Consent Mode for partial conversion modeling. We do not use Consent Mode to control Google tags on our website. Due to the technical implementation, no further personal data is processed with the help of Consent Mode, and it is only used like the other functions if you have given your consent to Google Ads.
  • Success measurement and optimization of individual advertising measures
  • Analysis of your visitor behavior on our website and use of this data for displaying advertisements or content relevant and personalized to you on external websites (retargeting)

The following data is processed:

  • IP address, hashed email address, cookie ID, pixel ID, Google Click ID, Mobile Advertising ID (IDFA/GAID)
  • Device information, browser information, location information
  • Usage data, user behavior and User Agent

Storage duration:

Log data is anonymized after nine months and cookie information after 18 months. If no match occurs via Enhanced Conversion, Google deletes this data after 48 hours. Otherwise, the data is deleted as soon as the processing purpose has been fulfilled.

Further information:

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool, and therefore inform you to the best of our knowledge: By integrating Ads Conversion, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will obtain and store your IP address.

Your data is stored on servers within the EU and is not passed on to third parties outside the Google network. A transfer to a third country according to GDPR may take place within the Google network. The transfer of your data to servers in the USA takes place on the basis of concluded EU standard contractual clauses and the Transatlantic Data Privacy Framework.

To object to the future collection and storage of your data, you can click this link.

Further details on data processing can be found in Google's privacy policy.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the terminal device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

You can also permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads Conversion Tracking by downloading and installing the browser plug-in from Google available at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de To address users whose data we have received in the context of business or business-like relationships with even more interest-based advertising, we use a customer matching function within Google Ads. For this purpose, we electronically transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (primarily email addresses and phone numbers) to Google.

Google does not gain access to clear data but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to match it to existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This enables the display of personalized advertising across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

10) WEB ANALYTICS SERVICES

Google (Universal) Analytics
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). Google (Universal) Analytics uses so-called "cookies", which are text files placed on your terminal device that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including the shortened IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there; in this process, a transmission to the servers of Google LLC in the USA may also occur.

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the "_anonymizeIp()" extension, which ensures the anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and excludes direct personal reference. Through the extension, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a server of Google LLC in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide us with other services related to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google (Universal) Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Google Analytics also enables, via a special function, the so-called "demographic characteristics," the creation of statistics with statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors based on an evaluation of interest-based advertising and with the inclusion of third-party information. This allows the definition and differentiation of user groups of the website for the purpose of optimizing marketing measures for the target group.

However, data sets collected via "demographic characteristics" cannot be assigned to a specific person. Details on the processing initiated by Google Analytics and on Google's handling of data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites All processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for reading information on the terminal device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without this consent, Google Analytics will not be used during your visit to the site. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics, which obliges Google to protect the data of our site visitors and not to pass it on to third parties. For the transfer of data from the EU to the USA, Google relies on so-called standard data protection clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection in the USA. Further information on Google (Universal) Analytics can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de

The service involves sending the IP address and, if applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google and is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in determining individual responsibility on the internet and preventing abuse and spam. In the context of using Google reCAPTCHA, a transfer of personal data to the servers of Google LLC in the USA may also occur. Further information on Google reCAPTCHA as well as Google's privacy policy can be found at:

https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/

To the extent legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

12) TOOLS AND MISCELLANEOUS

Cookie Consent Tool
This website uses a "Cookie Consent Tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications requiring consent. The "Cookie Consent Tool" is displayed to users when they access the page in the form of an interactive user interface, where consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by checking a box. Through the use of the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user gives their consent by checking the corresponding box.

A further legal basis for the processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

As the data controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user's consent. Further information on the operator and the setting options of the Cookie Consent Tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.
