  • Automatic Collection of Information

Cookies: Our Company use “Cookies” to collect information which includes, without limitation, third-party cookies like Google and Facebook. Accepting Cookies is not a prerequisite for using the Site. We would, however, like to point out that the Cookies are important for marketing and analytics. You can accordingly select if you wish to activate or deactivate cookies using the settings available in your browser. Cookies are small pieces of information stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive, at a web site’s request. The Company Cookies do not collect any personal information till such time you make a purchase on our Site. The Cookies are used primarily for the following purposes:

  • to keep track of temporary information. For example, Cookies allow us to keep track of the pictures you upload and download;
  • to register you in special programs. Cookies allow us to remember you when you login to the places on our site that require Membership;
  • to remember the information you shared;
  • to store your preferences and settings on your device and to enhance your experience;
  • to help us understand the size of our audience and traffic patterns;
  • to collect and record information about what you viewed on the Site and what you viewed in our e-mail;
  • to manage and present site information and the pictures displayed on your computer,
  • to understand and improve how our products perform;
  • to collect data about your online activity and identify your interests so that we can provide advertising/information that is most relevant to you;
  • the production of findings on demography, interests, our users’ shopping and usage habits as well as the marketing on these findings within the framework of advertising services provided to third parties.
  • third parties, including Facebook, Google, Criteo, Taboola, Snapchat, may use cookies, web beacons and other storage technologies to collect or receive information from our websites and elsewhere on the Internet and use that information to provide measurement services and target ads

The Cookies used by the Site may come from the Company or advertising partners. If you only wish to accept the Company’s Cookies, but not our advertising partners’ Cookies, you can choose the corresponding setting in your browser (e.g. “block third-party cookies”). The help function in your web browser’s menu bar generally shows you have to reject new Cookies, and to turn off Cookies which have already been received. We recommend that you completely log out after you finish using the Site on shared computers which are set to accept Cookies and flash Cookies.

Our services use three categories of Cookies:

  • Necessary Cookies: These Cookies are required for optimal navigation and operation of the Site. For example, these Cookies are used to implement the basket function, such that the goods in your basket stay saved while you continue with the purchase. The necessary Cookies also serve to save particular inputs and settings which you have made so that you don’t have to constantly repeat them, and to adapt Company’s content to your individual interests. Only limited use of the Site is possible without necessary Cookies.
  • Statistical Cookies: These Cookies collect device and access data to analyse the use of the Site, such as which areas of the Site are used how (so-called surfing behaviour), how fast content is loaded and whether errors occur. These Cookies only contain anonymous or pseudonymous information and are only used to improve the Site and to find out what our users are interested in, and to measure how effective our advertising is. Statistical Cookies can be blocked without adversely affecting the navigation and operation of the Site.
  • Marketing Cookies (“tracking cookies”): These Cookies contain identifiers and collect device and access data, in order to adapt personalised advertising on the Site to your individual interests. Our advertising partners who operate online advertising networks also collect device and access data on the Site. This allows us to display personalised advertising on other websites and in other providers’ apps which fits your interests (so-called retargeting). Marketing Cookies can be blocked without adversely affecting the navigation and operation of the Site. Shopping personalisation may, however, not be possible.

Web beacons: We may also place small “tracker gifs” or “beacons” on many of the pages on the Site, in online advertising with third parties, and in our email. We use these beacons, in connection with Cookies, to collect non-personal data on the usage of our site including but not limited to the date and time of the visit, the pages visited, the referring web page, the type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, NetScape), the type of operating system (e.g., Windows, Linux, or Mac), and the domain name of the visitor’s internet service provider (e.g., AOL). We also include web beacons or similar technologies in our electronic communications to determine whether you open and act on them.

In addition to placing web beacons on the Site, we sometimes work with other companies to place our web beacons on their websites or in their advertisements. We also use web beacons or similar technologies from third-party analytics providers, which help us compile aggregated statistics about the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns or other operations. This helps us develop statistics on how often clicking on an advertisement on our website results in a purchase or other action on the advertiser’s website. This information is useful in, for example, tracking the performance of our online advertising such as online banner ads and to determine where to place future advertising on other web sites. These technologies enable the analytics providers to set or read their own Cookies or other identifiers on your device, through which they can collect information about your online activities across applications, websites or other products.

 Third-Party apps: Some of our Services contain widgets and social media features, such as the Twitter “tweet” button. These widgets and features collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on the Services, and may set a Cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Widgets and social media features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our servers. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it. By using our website, you (the visitor) agree to allow third parties to process your IP address, in order to determine your location for the purpose of currency conversion. You also agree to have that currency stored in a session cookie in your browser (a temporary cookie which gets automatically removed when you close your browser). We do this in order for the selected currency to remain selected and consistent when browsing our website so that the prices can convert to your (the visitor) local currency.

With your consent: We share information about you with third parties when you give us consent to do so.  For example, we often display personal testimonials of satisfied customers on our public websites. With your consent, we may post your name alongside the testimonial.

 Disabling Cookies and Beacons: If you are uncomfortable with the collection of such information through the use of Cookies and Beacons, we recommend disabling these features through your browser preferences, though please understand this will limit the performance and functionality of the Site. Your browser documentation should provide specific procedures for disabling cookie and beacon support.

Legal basis:

If data processing for the above purposes occurs with your consent, the legal basis is Article 6 (1) a GDPR (consent). This data processing  otherwise occurs on the basis of Article 6 (1) f GDPR, whereby the legitimate interests are for the above purposes.

 Public Forums

Some parts of the Site may enable you to participate in public services such as discussion boards, chats, and live events. Please use discretion when posting personal information about yourself when using these services. Be aware that when you disclose personal information at these sites, such as your name, member name, email address, etc., the information may be collected and used by others to send unsolicited email. The Services are open to the public, and what you post there can be seen by anyone and is not protected. We try to moderate the comments as best we can but we can’t guarantee total control of the comments that you may receive while you participate in these services.

This processing of your data otherwise occurs on the basis of Article 6 (1) f GDPR, based on our legitimate interest and that of other users in the identification and prevention of fraud and clarification of criminal offences.

  • For Marketing and Advertisement

We use your data, also within the framework of data analysis, for advertising and market research, in particular for the following purposes:

  • Classification into various target and user groups within the framework of market research (user segmentation).
  • Findings on various target groups and their respective usage habits and shopping interests.
  • The production of findings on demography, interests, our users’ shopping and usage habits as well as the marketing on these findings within the framework of advertising services provided to third parties.
  • The early identification of trends in the areas of fashion and online shopping.
  • The execution of advertising to existing customers.
  • The execution of direct marketing, e.g. in the form of newsletters.
  • The planning, execution and success monitoring of advertising corresponding to the interests of the target groups being addressed (personalised advertising).
  • Findings as to how our services are used (usage analysis).
  • The marketing of the above findings within the framework of advertising services for advertising customers.

Depending on the purpose, we use the data we have stored for data analysis. For example, we use summarised (aggregated), statistical, depersonalised (anonymised) profile information or data which can only be assigned to persons via further intermediate steps (pseudonymised profile information) as well as shopping and device and access data in order to understand and analyse purchasing processes using data analysis. This gives us anonymous or pseudonymised findings on our users’ general usage behaviour.

We process your data on the basis of balancing of interests to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties (such as advertising partners or dealers which participate in Company’s partner programme). Company’s legitimate interest or that of third parties in data processing derives from the relevant purposes and is, unless otherwise indicated, of a competitive and economic nature.

Legal basis:

If data processing for the above purposes occurs with your consent, the legal basis is Article 6 (1) a GDPR (consent). This data processing data otherwise occurs on the basis of Article 6 (1) f GDPR, whereby the legitimate interests are for the above purposes.

  • Other Purposes

If data protection law allows it, we can use your data for new purposes such as carrying out data analyses and developing the Services and content without your consent. It is a prerequisite for this that these new purposes which the data is to be used for were not fixed or foreseeable when the relevant data was collected and the new purposes are compatible with the purposes for which the relevant data was originally collected. For example, new developments in the legal or technical sphere and new business models and services may lead to new processing purposes.

  • Mergers or Reorganization

We may also share / sell some or all of your personal information, with prior consent (active) of yours with another business entity in the future in the event should we plan to merge with, or be acquired by that business entity, or in the event of a re-organization, amalgamation, or restructuring of business . Should such a transaction occur, we shall ensure that such other business entity (or the new combined entity) shall be required to follow this Privacy Policy with respect to your personal information.

TRANSFER OF DATA

We forward your data if it is permissible under the applicable law. We work particularly closely with certain service providers, for example with technical service providers (e.g. running computer centres, cloud platform for storing the data) or with logistics companies or payment gateway service provider. These service providers may generally only process your data on our behalf under special conditions. Where we use them to process orders, the service providers only receive access to your data in the scope and for the time period required for provision of the relevant service. If they process your data outside the European Union, this may mean that your data is transmitted to a country with a lower data protection standard than the European Union. In such cases we will ensure that the relevant service providers contractually or otherwise guarantee an equivalent data protection level.

We share information globally, both internally within the Company, and externally with our partners in accordance with this policy. Your information may, for example, be transferred or transmitted to, or stored and processed in the United States. Many systems and technologies are shared within the Company Group. This allows us to offer you a more economical, secure, unified and personalised service. Therefore, companies within Company group which require access to your data to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations, or to fulfil their respective functions within Company group, receive this access.

We use a combination of data centres and cloud service providers to store this personal data in the United States. When personal data is transferred to the United States, it is either done so through the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield or through contractual data protection addenda (DPAs) with third-party service providers. The EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shields are also considered adequate under the GDPR.

As part of advertising campaigns we forward data to social network providers within the scope of data protection law. You can find further information under “Collection and use of your data for Marketing and Advertising”.

HOW TO ACCESS AND CONTROL YOUR INFORMATION

You have a right to be informed of personal data processed by the Company (Article 15 GDPR), a right to rectification/correction (Article 16 GDPR), deletion (Article 17 GDPR) and restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR), right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR), right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Article 77 GDPR), right to withdraw consent (Article 7 (3) GDPR) as well as the right to object to particular data processing measures (Article 21 GDPR).

  • Withdrawal of Consent

If you have given consent for the processing of your data, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal has no effect on the lawfulness of the processing of your data which took place before such withdrawal.

OUR COMPANY’S COMMITMENT TO DATA SECURITY

We implement a variety of administrative, managerial, and technical security measures to help protect your personal information. We transmit your personal data securely using encryption. This applies to your order and your customer login. We do this using the coding system SSL (Secure Socket Layer).  The Company has various internal control standards which relate specifically to the handling of personal information. These include certain controls to help safeguard the information we collect online. Our employees are trained to understand and comply with these controls and we communicate our Privacy Policy, practices and guidelines to our employees. However, while we strive to protect your personal information, you must also take steps to protect your information. We urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal information while you are on the Internet.

Services and web sites we sponsor have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. While we make every effort to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party “hackers” from illegally obtaining this information.

The Company stores your data with the cloud platform of WooCommerce provided by [*WooCommerce.*]

In the event you have questions or concerns about the security measures adopted by them, you are requested to contact the data protection / privacy team / legal team at these organizations, whose contact details are available in their respective privacy policy.

RETENTION OF DATA

We will store your usage data as long as is necessary for the purposes named in the Policy, especially for the fulfilment of our contractual and legal obligations, or until such time when you request for its deletion. We may also store your personal data for other purposes if or as long as the law allows us store it for particular purposes, including for defence against legal claims.

If you delete your customer account, we will delete all the data we have stored regarding you. If it is not possible or necessary to completely delete your data for legal reasons, the relevant data will be restricted for further processing. Even if your data is not subject to any legal retention obligation, we may refrain in the cases allowed by the law from immediate deletion and instead restrict processing. This applies especially in cases where we may need the relevant data for further contractual processing or prosecution or legal defence (e.g. in the event of complaints).

Deletion may be waived in the cases allowed by law if the data is anonymous or pseudonymous and deletion would rule out or seriously hinder processing for scientific research or statistical purposes.

We offer you certain choices about what information we collect from you, how we use and disclose the information, and how we communicate with you.

You control the personal information that you provide to us on our sites, but some personal information is required by us in order for you to obtain services from us or for you to use our sites. If you choose not to provide us with your personal information on our sites, you may not be able to take advantage of some of the services we offer or use some functionality on our sites. Except as provided above, we will not share personal information collected on our sites with third parties without your consent. You may also direct us to stop sending you promotional emails by following the removal instructions in a communication you receive from us. Your opt-out request will be processed within a reasonable period of time following the date on which we receive it. We ask that you not send us, and you not disclose, any sensitive personal information (e.g., Social Security numbers, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics or other criminal background) on or through the Services or otherwise to us.

If you wish to modify, verify, correct, or delete any of your personal information collected through our sites, you may edit your registered user information or contact us at connect@theindieearth.com In accordance with our routine record keeping, we may delete certain records that contain personal information you have submitted through our sites. We are under no obligation to store such personal information indefinitely and disclaim any liability arising out of, or related to, the destruction of such personal information. It may not always possible to completely remove or delete all of your information from our databases without some residual data because of backups and other reasons. We will retain your information (including geo-location data) for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. If you wish to cancel your online account or request that we no longer use your information to provide you services through the platform, please contact us at connect@theindieearth.com . We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
