Data Protection Officer

We are not legally obliged to appoint a Data Protection Officer and have therefore not appointed one.

Processing activity and data collected

Our web server is located in Germany, with the hosting provider Strato AG. We have concluded a data processing agreement with them pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

When you visit this website, no full IP addresses are stored as a matter of principle. Before storage, the web server replaces the last octet of the IP address with a random value.

For each access, the time and the requested resource are stored in addition to the visitor’s IP address anonymised in this way.

In addition, the user agent (browser and operating system information) and the referrer (origin of a referral from another site to this website) are stored, provided your browser transmits this information. The storage period is 60 days.

Purposes and legal bases of processing

The legal basis for processing this data is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to ensure the integrity and availability of this website.

Your rights as a data subject

You have the right to **access** the personal data concerning you.

Please note that before providing information, we must ensure that your identity actually corresponds to the request. After all, only you yourself should receive this information.

You also have a right to **rectification**, a right to **erasure**, and a right to **restriction of processing** of the personal data concerning you. These rights are granted only within the scope of the statutory provisions.

You have a right to **object** to the processing of the personal data concerning you. This right is also granted only within the scope of the statutory provisions.
Finally, you have a right to **data portability**. This right is also granted only within the scope of the statutory provisions.

Erasure of data

As a matter of principle, we delete personal data when its further storage is no longer necessary. Where statutory retention periods must be observed (in particular under Section 257 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and Section 147 of the German Fiscal Code (AO)), the requirement continues until their expiry. Under the legal provisions mentioned, the retention periods begin at the end of the calendar year of the business transaction and last 6 or 10 years depending on its type.

Right to lodge a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint about the processing of personal data with a competent supervisory authority.

Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They serve to make the overall internet offering more user-friendly and effective.

(3) Use of cookies:

a) This website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and functionality of which are explained below:

– Transient cookies (see b)
– Persistent cookies (see c).

b) Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include, in particular, session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the common session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.

c) Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies in the security settings of your browser at any time.

f) The Flash cookies used are not recorded by your browser, but by your Flash plug-in. Furthermore, we use HTML5 storage objects that are stored on your end device. These objects store the required data independently of the browser you use and do not have an automatic expiration date. If you do not wish Flash cookies to be processed, you must install an appropriate add-on, e.g., “Better Privacy” for Mozilla Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en/firefox/addon/betterprivacy/) or the Adobe Flash Killer cookie for Google Chrome. You can prevent the use of HTML5 storage objects by using private mode in your browser. We also recommend regularly deleting your cookies and browser history manually.

Section 4 Further functions and offers of our website

(1) In addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer various services that you can use if you are interested. To do this, you generally have to provide further personal data, which we use to provide the respective service and to which the aforementioned data processing principles apply.

(2) In some cases, we use external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected by us, checked with regard to the applicable data protection standards, and commissioned; they are bound by our instructions and are monitored regularly.

(3) Furthermore, we may pass on your personal data to third parties if contract conclusions or similar services are offered by us together with partners. You will receive more detailed information on this when you provide your personal data or below in the description of the offer.

(4) Insofar as our service providers or partners are based in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you about the consequences of this circumstance in the description of the offer.

Section 5 Objection or withdrawal of consent to the processing of your data

(1) If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can withdraw it at any time. Such a withdrawal influences the permissibility of the processing of your personal data after you have expressed it to us.

(2) Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on a balance of interests, you may object to the processing. This is the case if the processing is, in particular, not necessary for the fulfillment of a contract with you, which is shown by us in each case in the following description of the functions. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and will either stop or adjust the data processing or show you our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

(3) Of course, you can object to the processing of your personal data for purposes of advertising and data analysis at any time. You can inform us about your objection to advertising using the following contact details: datenschutz@targetworld.de.

Section 6 Use of our web shop

(1) If you wish to order in our web shop, it is necessary for the conclusion of the contract that you provide your personal data, which we need for the processing of your order. Mandatory information necessary for the processing of contracts is marked separately; further information is voluntary. We process the data provided by you to process your order. For this purpose, we may pass on your payment data to our house bank. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

You can voluntarily create a customer account, through which we can store your data for subsequent further purchases. When creating an account under “My Account”, the data you provide will be stored revocably.

We may also process the data you provide to inform you about other interesting products from our portfolio or to send you emails with technical information.

(2) Due to commercial and tax law requirements, we are obliged to store your address, payment, and order data for a period of ten years. However, after [two years], we restrict processing, i.e., your data will only be used to comply with legal obligations.

(3) To prevent unauthorized access by third parties to your personal data, in particular financial data, the ordering process is encrypted using TLS technology.

(4) The payment methods credit card (Visa/Mastercard) and PayPal are processed in our shops by the payment provider “Saferpay” (credit card) or “PayPal”. Therefore, no credit card information or your information from PayPal is stored on our server. The data centers of Saferpay and PayPal meet all security-relevant requirements necessary for the storage of this data. They only use the latest encryption and security technologies.

(1) With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter, with which we inform you about our current interesting offers. The advertised goods and services are named in the declaration of consent.

(2) For the registration for our newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after your registration, we will send an email to the specified email address in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration promptly, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month at the latest. In addition, we store your respective IP addresses used and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data.

(3) The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your email address. The provision of further, separately marked data is voluntary and will be used to be able to address you personally. After your confirmation, we store your email address for the purpose of sending the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

(4) You can withdraw your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can declare the withdrawal by clicking on the unsubscribe link provided in every newsletter email.

(5) We point out that we or partners evaluate your user behavior when sending the newsletter. For this evaluation, the emails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which represent one-pixel image files stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the data mentioned in Section 3 and the web beacons with your email address and an individual ID. Links received in the newsletter also contain this ID. With the data obtained in this way, we create a user profile to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. In doing so, we record when you read our newsletters, which links you click on in them, and infer your personal interests from this. We link this data with actions taken by you on our website.

(6) The information is stored as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we store the data purely statistically and anonymously. Such tracking is also not possible if you have deactivated the display of images by default in your email program. In this case, the newsletter will not be displayed in full and you may not be able to use all functions. If you display the images manually, the aforementioned tracking takes place.

(7) Sendinblue is used as the newsletter software. The provider is Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin, to which personal data is transmitted by us: The recipient’s email address, in certain cases first and last name, and other action-related information such as voucher codes. Sendinblue is prohibited from passing on your data, selling it, or using it for purposes other than sending newsletters for Paul Parey Zeitschriftenverlag GmbH.

(1) We currently use the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, Instagram, Google+, and Twitter. Here, the data mentioned under Section 3 of this declaration is transmitted. In the case of Facebook, according to the provider in Germany, the IP address is anonymized immediately after collection. By activating the plug-in, personal data is transmitted from you to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (in the case of US providers, in the USA). Since the plug-in provider collects data in particular via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via the security settings of your browser.

(2) We have no influence on the collected data and data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purposes of processing, or the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the collected data by the plug-in provider.

(3) The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses these for purposes of advertising, market research, and/or the demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation takes place in particular (also for users who are not logged in) for the display of demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. Through the plug-ins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

(4) The data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, your data collected by us will be directly assigned to your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you press the activated button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider also stores this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as you can thus avoid an assignment to your profile with the plug-in provider.

(5) Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the privacy policies of these providers provided below. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy.

Section 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 that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In the event of activation of IP anonymization on this website, however, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide further services related to website use and internet use to the website operator.

(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. As a result, IP addresses are processed in shortened form, so that personal reference can be excluded.
