Data protection notice

We collect, use and store your personal data exclusively within the framework of the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act of the Federal Republic of Germany. In the following, we would like to inform you about the type, scope and purpose of data collection and use.

 

Collection and processing of data

Each access to our website and each retrieval of a file stored on this website is logged. The storage is for internal system-related and statistical purposes. Logged are: name of the retrieved file, date and time of the visit, data volume transferred, notification of successful retrieval, web browser and requesting domain. In addition, the IP addresses of the requesting computers are logged. Any other personal data are only collected if the user of the website and/or customer voluntarily provides information, for example in the context of an inquiry, a registration, for the conclusion of a contract or via the settings of his/her browser.

 

Our website uses cookies

A cookie is a text file that is sent when you visit a website and stored temporarily on the hard drive of the website user and/or customer. If the user and/or the customer again visits the corresponding server of our website, the internet browser of the user and/or the customer using the website sends the previously received cookie back to the server. The server can then evaluate the information obtained by this procedure in various ways. Cookies can be used, for example, to control the display of advertisements or to facilitate navigation on a website. If the user of the website and/or customer wishes to prevent the use of cookies, this can be done by locally changing the settings in the Internet browser used on your computer, i.e. the program for opening and displaying Internet pages (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera or Safari).

 

Use and disclosure of personal data

As far as the user of our website has made personal data available, we use these only to respond to the website user’s and/or customer’s inquiries, to process a contract with the user and/or customer, to conclude a contract with the user and/or customer and for the technical administration. Personal data are only disclosed to or otherwise transferred by us to third parties if this is necessary for the purpose of processing the contract or for invoicing purposes or if the user of the website and/or customer has given his/her prior consent. The user of the website and/or customer has the right at any time to revoke the consent s/he has given us with effect for the future.

If the user of the website and/or customer withdraws his/her consent to storage, if knowledge of such data is no longer required for the purpose intended by the storage or if their storage is inadmissible for any other legal reasons, any stored personal data are erased. Data for invoicing and accounting purposes are not affected by a request for erasure.

 

Export and processing of data in countries outside of the European Economic Area

Your personal data is not exported to countries outside of the European Economic Area (hereinafter EEA).

However, if you are logged into Facebook or have a Twitter or Instagram account, personal data may be exported to the United States. For more information and for options on how to prevent this export of data, please refer to the “Using Facebook Social Plugins”, “Using Twitter”, or “Using Instagram Social Plugins” section of this data protection declaration.

If you have logged in to Google or you have a YouTube account, personal data can be exported to the USA. For more detailed explanations and possibilities on how to prevent this data export, please refer to the section “Using YouTube Plugins”.

The service providers commissioned by SAKS have their headquarters and operate their IT infrastructure exclusively within the EEA. This also applies to any use of cloud-based services. Contracts exist with the service providers which comply with the data protection and data security requirements of the GDPR (EU).

SSL encoding

This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transfer of any confidential content, such as requests you send to us as site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the green lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.

GOOGLE DATA PROTECTION NOTICE

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. “(“Google”). Google Analytics uses “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 the website (including your IP address) is transferred to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google uses this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Should it be required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google, Google may also transfer this information to third parties. Google does not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

You can prevent the collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie is set to prevent future collection of your data when you visit this website: Disable Google Analytics.

 

IP anonymisation

We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. Within Member States of the European Union or in other countries party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, this will cause your IP address to be shortened by Google prior to transfer in the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of this website’s operator, Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website and Internet use. The IP address transferred by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

Demographic features on Google Analytics

This website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that contain information on the age, gender and interests of site visitors. These data come from interest-related advertising by Google as well as from visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. As described in the section “Objection to data collection”, you can generally disable this feature at any time from your Google Account ad preferences or opt-out of Google Analytics collecting your information.

 

‘RETARGETING’ TECHNOLOGY

This website uses so-called “retargeting tags”. A “retargeting tag” is a JavaScript element that is placed in the source code of the website. If a user visits a page on this website which contains a “retargeting tag”, a provider of online advertising (e.g. Google) places a cookie on the user’s computer and assigns this to corresponding retargeting target group lists. This cookie is then used to run retargeting campaigns (“interest-based advertising”) on other websites. Studies have shown that the insertion of interest-related advertising is more interesting for Internet users than advertising that has no direct connection to interests or previously visited websites.

 

SETTINGS OPTIONS

Third-party providers, including Google, use these cookies to place ads based on a user’s previous visits to our site. No personal data are stored. Users of this website can disable Google’s use of cookies by visiting the “Google Ads Preferences” page. Users can also disable the use of cookies by third parties by visiting the deactivation page of the “Network Advertising Initiative” and making the appropriate settings there.
