Data acquisition and processing

Data acquisition

The data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the legal notice of this website.

Technical data are recorded by our IT systems. This includes, for example, the internet browser, operating system and time of the page view. These data are recorded automatically as soon as you enter our website.

Some of the data are collected to ensure that the website is provided correctly. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour.

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. We only store access data without personal reference, such as the name of your internet service provider, the page from which you are visiting us or the name of the file you have requested. These data are evaluated solely to improve our offer and do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you personally.

Personal data is only collected if you voluntarily provide it to us when placing your order, when opening a customer account, when filling out a contact form or when registering for a newsletter. We use the data provided by you without your separate consent exclusively to fulfil and process your order.

This takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR, which allows the processing of data in order to fulfil a contract or pre-contractual measures. We only collect, process and use personal data on the use of our website (usage data) if this is necessary to enable the use of our service or bill the user for this.

Data storage and handling of personal data

Your contract text shall be saved. We shall send you the order details and our terms and conditions by email. You may view the terms and conditions at any time here. For security reasons, your order details are no longer accessible on the internet.

We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary in the course of contract processing, for example to the companies entrusted with the delivery of the goods or the credit institution commissioned with processing of the payment. No further transmission of the data shall take place unless you have expressly consented to its transmission. Your data shall not be passed on to third parties, for example for advertising purposes, without express consent.

In order to fulfil the contract, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the ordering process, we shall forward the payment data collected for this to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and to any payment service provider commissioned by us to process payments.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR, which allows the processing of data in order to fulfil a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Upon completion of the contract and full payment, your data shall be blocked for further use and deleted following expiry of the requirements under tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data. Your customer account may be deleted at any time, either by sending a message to the contact option described below or using a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

Encryption

Personal data are transmitted unencrypted.

If, following conclusion of a fee-based contract, there is an obligation to provide us with your payment details (e.g. account number for direct debit authorisation), these data are required for payment processing. Payment transactions are unencrypted.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us, namely:

  • browser type and browser version;
  • operating system used;
  • referrer URL;
  • host name of the accessing computer;
  • time of the server request;
  • IP address.

These data are not merged with other data sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR, which allows the processing of data for the purposes of fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

MailChimp

This website uses the services of MailChimp for sending newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

MailChimp is a service with which, among other things, the dispatch of newsletters can be organised and analysed. If you enter data for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g. email address), it shall be stored on MailChimp’s servers in the USA.

MailChimp is certified in accordance with the “EU-US Privacy Shield”. The “Privacy Shield” is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the USA which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the USA.

With the help of MailChimp we can analyse our newsletter campaigns. If you open an email sent with MailChimp, a file contained in the email (a “web beacon”) connects to the servers of MailChimp in the USA. In this way it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on. In addition, technical information is recorded (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective recipient of the newsletter. It is used solely for statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of their recipients.

If you do not want an analysis by MailChimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. You may also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you have stored with us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter shall be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, and shall be deleted both from our servers and from the servers of MailChimp after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data that we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the member area) remain unaffected. For more information, see the MailChimp privacy policy.

Conclusion of a data processing agreement

We have concluded a “data processing agreement” with MailChimp, in which we oblige MailChimp to protect our customers’ data and not to pass them on to third parties.

Payment provider

SEPA direct debit

If the direct debit payment method is selected and the customer’s bank details are transmitted, the seller is granted revocable authorisation to collect the invoice amount from the account specified by the customer. If the direct debit is not honoured due to insufficient funds in the account ,or due to the provision of incorrect bank account details, or if the customer objects to the debit although he is not authorised to do so, the customer must bear the fees arising from the chargeback by the respective credit institution if he is responsible for this . Your account shall be debited when the order is completed. If you wish to object to the direct debit, we ask you to contact us either by phone or by email. If you return goods, the amount shall be credited back to your current account.

Your concerns shall be taken into consideration in accordance with the statutory provisions. The legal basis for the transmission of your data is Art. 6 para. 1a) GDPR (consent), Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR (processing for performance of a contract) and Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR (protection of legitimate interests in the case of advance payment).

Consent that you give or have given to us or Adebio may be withdrawn at any time with effect from the date of withdrawal.
