The security of your data and the protection of your privacy is important to us. We are committed to protecting your privacy and to complying with statutory data protection provisions. In the following, we explain how we handle your personal data. 

Which data is processed in detail and how it is used depends largely on the services requested or agreed in each case. 

You can exercise the following rights at any time using the contact details of our data protection officer:

• Information about your data stored with us and its processing (Art. 15 GDPR),

If you have given us consent, you can revoke this at any time with effect for the future. Please note that the revocation is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected by this.

You can contact a supervisory authority at any time with a complaint, e.g. the competent supervisory authority in the federal state of your residence or the authority responsible for us as the responsible body.

4.1 Salesforce Commerce Cloud

Nature and purpose of the processing: 

We use the e-commerce platform of Salesforce Commerce Cloud, a service of Salesforce.com Germany GmbH, Erika-Mann-Str. 63, D-80636 Munich. 

Salesforce stores this website on its servers (hosting). In connection with hosting, Salesforce processes personal data on our behalf that arises from the following actions of the user:

• as part of an order in our online shop; 
• when creating and using a user account; 
• in connection with our newsletters. 

Further details, in particular on the legal basis and storage period, can be found under the individual processing activities. 

Since Salesforce is headquartered in the United States, this does not preclude data processing on Salesforce servers in the United States.

We have entered into a contract with Salesforce for data processing. In addition, we have contractually ensured that the data is hosted by Salesforce on servers based in the European Union. The location of the servers is Frankfurt am Main. With regard to the data processing that takes place within the scope of hosting our website, we have concluded a “Data Protection Addendum” (DPA) with Salesforce. The EU Standard Contractual Clauses form part of this DPA. In addition, Salesforce has implemented approved “Binding Corporate Rules” in the company to ensure compliance with data protection. 

Salesforce restricts access to data to those access possibilities permitted by law. Salesforce Commerce Cloud is also certified by reliable security standards, including PCI-DSS, SOC2, and ISO 27001.

5.1 Newsletter  

Nature and purpose of the processing: 

For the delivery of our newsletter, we collect personal data that is transmitted to us via an input mask. We need a valid email address in order to register you successfully. 

In order to verify that a registration is actually made by the owner of a particular email address, we use the “double opt-in” (DOI) procedure for online registrations. This means that you will receive an email after registering for the newsletter in which you must reconfirm your newsletter registration. 

When signing up for a newsletter in one of our BOGNER stores, we only need your signature (“single opt-in”) to confirm the accuracy of your data. A renewed confirmation of the newsletter registration by email is therefore not required.  

At the time of DOI confirmation, the following data will also be stored: 

1. Date and time 
2. Country and language 
3. Channel: Webshop or Store ID

In addition, we evaluate your reading and usage behaviour in order to constantly improve our newsletter and adapt it to your interests and requirements.

Storage period: 

The data will only be processed in this context as long as the relevant consent has been given. 

Provision prescribed or required: 

The provision of your personal data is voluntary and based solely on your consent. Unfortunately, we cannot send you our newsletter or make you customised offers without your consent.  

Withdrawal of consent: 

You can withdraw your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for the dispatch of the newsletter, or the evaluation of the newsletter, at any time with effect for the future. You will find a corresponding unsubscribe link in every newsletter.  

You can also revoke your consent via the other contact options provided on the website.

We evaluate your use of the newsletters sent to you and the subsequent visits to the BOGNER website in order to further improve the newsletter and the web offer, and to optimise them according to the specific interests of the visitors.

We only use your data for matching with our future advertising files. This ensures that your advertising objection or the revocation of your consent is permanently respected. 

Legal basis and legitimate interest:

LinkedIn

BOGNER maintains a company presence on LinkedIn. It is located on a platform operated by LinkedIn Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. 

On our site, we provide information and offer users the option to communicate with each another. The company presence is used for job applications and information/PR. 

When you visit, follow or engage with our LinkedIn company site, LinkedIn processes personal data to provide us with statistics and insights in an anonymised form. This gives us insights into the types of actions that visitors take on our site (so-called “page insights”). LinkedIn processes in particular data that you have already provided to LinkedIn via the information in your profile. In addition, LinkedIn will process information about how you interact with our LinkedIn corporate page, such as whether you are a follower of our LinkedIn corporate page. LinkedIn does not provide us with any personal data. Nor is it possible for us to draw conclusions about individual members using the information provided by page insights. 

This processing of personal data within the framework of page insights is carried out by LinkedIn and us as joint controllers. We have entered into a Joint Controller Agreement with LinkedIn that covers data processing and sets out the distribution of the data protection obligations between us and LinkedIn. The agreement can be accessed at the following link. Under this agreement, LinkedIn is responsible for responding to data subject requests. In this regard, you have the option to contact LinkedIn online, or contact LinkedIn via the contact details in the Privacy Policy.  

You may contact us regarding the exercise of your rights in connection with the processing of personal data within the scope of page insights, by sending us an email. We will forward your request to LinkedIn in such a case.  

The processing of the data is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR, which you have granted to LinkedIn as part of your registration. 

For more information about LinkedIn’s data processing, please see the LinkedIn Privacy Policy.

We cannot rule out that a third country transfer, e.g. to servers located in the USA, takes place when our LinkedIn page is accessed. This may allow LinkedIn to track your visit to our website. 

We only handle personal data insofar as data protection regulations allow. In so doing, we also strive to use all the necessary technical and organisational security measures to adequately protect your personal data from unauthorised access and misuse at all times. 

Your data will only be passed on to service providers (contract processors) if it is necessary for the fulfilment of our contractual duties. All service providers are obliged to treat your data confidentially on the basis of an order processing agreement. 

Insofar as we store or process personal data, this is done within a secure data centre. To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use encryption procedures (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS. Our servers are secured by means of a firewall and virus protection. Back-up and recovery procedures, as well as role and authorisation concepts, are standard for us. 

Our employees are obliged to observe the regulations of the GDPR and the BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) when handling data.

We reserve the right to adapt this Privacy Policy so that it always complies with the current legal requirements or in order to implement changes to our services in the Privacy Policy, such as when introducing new services. The new Privacy Policy will then apply to your next visit.
