Privacy

Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting our online shop. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. In the following document we inform you in detail about how your data is handled.

1. Access data and hosting

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time a website is accessed, the web server automatically saves only a so-called server log file, which contains the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of access, transferred data volume and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access.

This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our services. In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f GDPR, this serves to preserve our legitimate interest in correctly presenting our offer. All access data will be deleted at the latest seven days after the end of your page visit.

Third-party hosting services

In the context of processing on our behalf, a third-party provider supplies us with the services of hosting and display of the website. This serves to preserve our legitimate interest in correctly presenting our offer.  All data collected as part of the use of this website or in the forms provided in the online shop as described below will be processed on its servers. Processing on other servers takes place only in the framework explained here.

This service provider is located within a country of the European Union or the European Economic Area.

2. Data collection and use for processing an order and when opening a customer account

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide us with it in connection with your order, when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail) or when you open a customer account. Mandatory fields are marked as such, because in these cases we need the data to process the order, handle your inquiry or open a customer account. The data being collected can be seen in the respective input forms. We use the data provided by you pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 b GDPR to process contracts and your inquiries. After complete processing of the order or deletion of your customer account, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted at the end of the tax and commercial retention periods, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use more data, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement. You can delete your customer account at any time by sending a message by email to abovo(at)abovohome.com.

3. Data transfer

In order to fulfil the order pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 b GDPR, 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 will pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the relevant payment service provider in order to process payments. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves when you create an account. In this case, you must log on to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. In this case, the data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies.

 

4. E-Mail-Newsletter

E-mail advertising with newsletter registration

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use the data required for this purpose or provided separately by you in order to send you our e-mail newsletter regularly on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 a GDPR.

The cancellation of the newsletter is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message by email to: abovo(at)abovohome.com; by post to Abovo GmbH, attn.

After you unsubscribe, we will delete your e-mail address unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data or unless we reserve the right to use further data that is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.

The newsletter is sent on our behalf by a service provider (MailChimp, The Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 500, Atlanta, Georgia 30308, USA) to whom we forward your e-mail address. This service provider is based in the USA and is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. A current certificate can be viewed here. Based on this agreement between the USA and the European Commission, the latter has determined an appropriate level of data protection for companies certified under the Privacy Shield.

5. Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge

The Trusted Shops Trustbadge is integrated on this website to display our Trusted Shops seal of approval and the collected evaluations as well as to offer Trusted Shops products to buyers after an order.

This serves to safeguard our overriding legitimate interests in an optimal marketing of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f GDPR. The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are an offer of the Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne.

When the Trustbadge is called up, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file which contains, for example, your IP address, the date and time of the call, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the call. These access data are not evaluated and are automatically overwritten at the latest seven days after the end of your page visit.

Further personal data will only be transferred to Trusted Shops if you have consented to this, have decided to use Trusted Shops products after completing an order or have already registered for use. In this case the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops applies.
