This website uses the personalisation and web analytics service Kameleoon. The program enables an analysis of user behaviour based on (automated) user segmentation. Based on the evaluation of the log file data, we can determine how the individual user segments visit the website, which landing pages are visited and how an increase in click rates can be achieved. The system analyses your behaviour and its context when using this website and assigns it anonymously to target groups.

For the analyses, cookies/the local storage of the browser are used which are linked to a pseudonymised ID. For this purpose, your IP address will be fully anonymised and not stored.

These technologies from Criteo enable us to evaluate our advertising campaigns and advertising content. This data can be used to create user profiles under a pseudonym. Cookies are used for this purpose. The data collected with the Criteo technology will, without separate consent of the user, not be used to personally identify the visitor of this website and will not be merged with personal data about the holder of the pseudonym.

In doing so, your name for the salutation, your customer ID and order ID assigned by us for the assignment of the inlay, your gender for the choice of salutation, the used language and the online shop you used for your order will be processed for the choice of layout.

Facebook Custom Audiences

We use the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" of Meta Platforms Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). This allows the behaviour of a user to be tracked after having been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This is intended to enable evaluation of the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help to optimise future advertising measures. The collected data is in principle anonymous to us, i.e. it does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of the user. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). A cookie may also be stored on your computer for this purpose.

If you do not want Facebook to assign the collected information directly to your Facebook user account, you can deactivate the "Custom Audiences" remarketing function here: https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads. To do this, you must be logged in to Facebook. You can also object via the cookie settings on our website.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. 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. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google in a member state of the European Union or in other signatory 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 for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, we advise that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).

Opt-out cookies prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. In order to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data across different devices, you must perform the opt-out on all used systems. If you click here, the opt-out cookie will be set: Disable Google Analytics.
You can also object via the cookie settings on our website.

Further information on the terms of use and data protection can be found under google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html. On this website, we have added the "anonymizeIp()" function to the Google Analytics code. The collection of IP addresses is thus anonymised.

Google AdWords Conversion Tracking

If you have reached our website via a Google ad, statistics on our conversion rate can be created with the help of a Google AdWords cookie, which expires after 30 days. This means that we learn how many users visit our website and purchase a product through our websites within 30 days. It is not possible to draw any conclusions about your person.

Google Maps

We use the "Google Maps" component on our site. "Google Maps" is a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as "Google".

Each time this component is accessed, Google sets a cookie in order to process user settings and data when the page, on which the "Google Maps" component is integrated, is displayed. As a rule, this cookie is not deleted by closing the browser, but expires after a certain period of time, unless you delete it manually beforehand.

If you do not agree with this processing of your data, you have the option of deactivating the "Google Maps" service and thus preventing the transfer of data to Google. To do this, you must deactivate the Java Script function in your browser. However, we advise that in this case you will not be able to use "Google Maps" or only to a limited extent.

The use of "Google Maps" and the information obtained via "Google Maps" is subject to the Google Terms of Use
https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en&gl=de
as well as the additional terms and conditions for "Google Maps"
https://www.google.com/intl/en_en/help/terms_maps/

If you are logged in with your personal account at the time you access the "Google Maps" page, Google can collect the information obtained in this way as well as your IP address and other browser-related information and link it to your account.

If you want to prevent this transmission and storage of data about you and your behaviour on our website by Google, you must log out of these providers before you visit our site.

You can also object via the cookie settings on our website.

Instagram

We have integrated components of the "Instagram" service on our website. Instagram is a service that qualifies as an audiovisual platform and allows users to share photos and videos and also to disseminate such data on other social networks.

The operating company of Instagram's services is Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, USA.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the IT system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a representation of the corresponding component from Instagram. As part of this technical process, Instagram receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to Instagram at the same time, Instagram recognises which specific subpage the data subject is visiting each time the data subject calls up our website and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned by Instagram to the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted with it will be assigned to the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Instagram.
Instagram receives information via the Instagram component that the data subject has visited our website any time the data subject is logged in to Instagram at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Instagram component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Instagram, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Instagram account before accessing our website.

You can also object via the cookie settings on our website.

Further information and Instagram's applicable privacy policy can be found at help.instagram.com and instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.

Contact form

There is a contact form on our website which you can use to contact us electronically. The data entered in the input mask as well as the date and time of registration as well as your IP address will be stored in this context. Alternatively, you can contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, your personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.

The processing of the personal data from the input mask or the e-mail serves us solely to process the contact or the conversation with you. Herein also lies the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data. The other personal data processed serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

Detection and prevention of abuse

We collect, process and use the following data to automatically check whether there are indications of misuse of the online shop:
Your data for the processing of the contract (e.g. object of purchase, name, postal address, e-mail address, delivery address, payment method and payment data)
The usage data of your website visits to the online shop (e.g. information about the beginning, end and scope of the websites visited as well as click paths)
A cookie (i.e. a small text file that is stored locally in the cache of the web browser) and/or a visitor ID, each of which may contain anonymous data of the end devices used when visiting the websites (e.g. your screen resolution or your operating system version) and through which the end devices you are using can be recognised with a certain probability on subsequent visits.

Accordingly, you should ensure that you inform third parties to whom you provide the devices you use about this and that they also tolerate the measures described or otherwise do not visit our online shop with your devices.

The usage data of your website visits are taken from a database in which they are stored under a pseudonym. We have commissioned Infoscore Consumer Data GmbH, Rheinstr. 99, 76532 Baden-Baden, Germany, as a processor to carry out the detection and prevention of misuse. If there is a suspicion of abuse, one of our employees will review the evaluation and the underlying indications. If a contract is refused, you will be informed of this and, upon request, you will be informed of the essential reasons for the decision. You will then have the opportunity to assert your point of view by e-mail: service@gerryweber.com, whereupon the decision will be reviewed again by a member of staff. You can prevent such a procedure at any time with effect for the future by sending an informal short message to E-GERRY WEBER Digital GmbH, Neulehenstr. 8, 33790 Halle/Westphalia, Germany or by e-mail to service@gerryweber.com. Further use of the GERRY WEBER online shop may then no longer take place at our discretion.
