C. OPERATION AND HOSTING OF OUR WEBSITE
Our website it operated in our name and on our account by a full service eCommerce provider who undertakes all of our data processing in connection with the use of our website. Our data processing takes place on the servers of a hosting provider connecting our website to the Internet on our account. Both these providers are based inside Germany.
D. OVERVIEW OF THE WAY WE PROCESS DATA
We process data in the following contexts:
- If you shop with us, we process such of your data which are required to conclude and execute a contract of sale (“contract performance”) (for details see below under E.);
- When visiting and browsing our website (“website use”), we process data from and on your terminal device, which could partly allow for your explicit identification (for details see below under F.);
- Finally, we process your data if you would like to contact us (“communication”), for instance by subscribing to our newsletter, by leaving a review on an article or by submitting a message to us via the communication channels made available by us (for details see below under G.).
E. CONTRACT PERFORMANCE
I. General information on data processing
In the context of your purchase in our online shop, we will ask you to divulge the following details about yourself:
- First name;
- last name;
- invoicing/delivery address;
- e-mail address;
- bank or credit card details.
II. Extent and purpose of processing
We will process the personal data requested from you for the following purposes:
- To e-mail you an acknowledgement of receipt and an order confirmation containing statutory information, and status notifications on shipment of the goods ordered where appropriate;
- to process your payment;
- to send you an invoice for your order;
- to deliver the goods ordered to you; and
- to be able to match any cancellations, complaints and any other post-contractual queries by you to your person and order, and process your issue where appropriate.
If you have voluntarily created a customer account under “Sign in – Register now”, we will also process these data to register you as a customer at the Braukmann GmbH CASO DESIGN online shop for potential future visits or purchases. This way, you will not have to keep re-entering these data required for contract performance for every future order, and will also be able to view any purchases made at any time in your customer account. Once signed into your customer account, you can also save products from our online shop as favourites so to be able to purchase them at a later stage, where appropriate.
III. Data transmission/recipients
The recipients of your data are the technical operator and hosting service provider of our website (see above under C.). Insofar as this is required for contract completion, your data will also be passed on to those organisations we have instructed to receive and process your order. In particular, these are the following:
- Shipping provider for shipment, delivery or collection of goods;
- the bank/credit institution instructed to process your payments.
In case you have selected purchase on account, direct debit or credit card as one of the PayPal payment types, it will be necessary to pass on the following personal data to PayPal (Europe) S.á.r.l. & Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg so to process your payment; and in case you have chosen the on account payment type, amongst others to facilitate the assignment of our accounts receivable to PayPal:
- Invoice number;
- invoice amount;
- name and delivery address;
- name and invoicing address.
IV. Data retention time
If you don’t create a customer account, your data will be blocked once an individual contract of sale has been fulfilled, i.e. we will only process them to a limited extent thereafter. This for one is required in case you would like to assert a claim within the statutory limitation periods (usually three years), which we would then have to match up with yourself and the corresponding business transaction. On the other hand, we are obliged by commercial and fiscal law to retain business documentation, which could contain your data, for a maximum term of ten years. Once these purposes have been fulfilled or those time limits have expired, we will delete all your data we hold.
In case you have voluntarily created a customer account, we will process your data within the framework of this until you have your customer account deleted by us. Insofar this involves data we will have to retain for the reasons mentioned above, we will delete them once the retention periods have expired.
V. Legal basis for processing
Data processing takes place since it is necessary for contract performance (art. 6, sect. 1 b GDPR).
In part (to send out an acknowledgement of receipt and notifications containing statutory information on distance selling), it also takes place to fulfil corresponding legal obligations we are under.
If you have created a customer account, we will also process your data based on your agreement to do so, provided to us at the same time (art. 6, sect. 1 a GDPR).
VI. Right of revocation
You can revoke your agreement for data processing in the context of maintaining your customer account with effect for the future at any time, by notifying us at one of the contact addresses stated above under A. We will then delete your customer account and will only retain any data it contains for as long and to the extent that we are legally obliged to do so (see above under item IV).

You can submit your objection to the contact details stated under A. above. Alternatively, you can use your Internet browser settings to control whether or what kind of cookies may be set. Insofar as you don’t accept the use of functional cookies, this can result in limitations in our website functionality.
II. Website usage analysis via Google Analytics
1. I. General information on processing

- Operating system
- Website last visited
- Your computer/terminal device host name (IP address, shortened)
- Time of day of your request to our server

We forego processing data which would enable us to identify you in this regard. In particular, the cookie set does not contain any user ID. The shortened IP address transmitted in the context of Google Analytics is not linked to any other data by Google.
3. Data transmission/recipients
The information about your use of our website generated by this cookie is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. By deactivating the user ID function and activating IP anonymisation (shortening the IP address by the last octet), data can no longer be linked to your connection or computer/terminal device.
4. Data retention time
Data processed will be stored for 14 months and then deleted by Google.
5. Legal basis for processing
Date processing is undertaken based on our interest in the statistical evaluation of the use of our website, and derived from this its efficiency. In our evaluation, there are no predominant interests, fundamental rights or fundamental freedoms by any people involved opposed to this legitimate interest (art. 6 sect. 1 f, GDPR) On request, we will provide you with the information upon which we base the evaluation of such interests.
6. Right to object
You have the right to object against the processing for reasons arising from your specific situation at any time. We will then no longer process such data for these purposes, unless we are able to proof mandatory legitimate grounds for such processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless such processing serves to assert, execute or defend any legal claims. You can prevent data generated by this cookie relating to your use of our website from being recorded and processed by Google, by sliding the website usage analysis slider in the cookie banner appearing when visiting our website or at the top of this page from the right (green) to the left (grey), or by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under this link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. Alternatively, or for browsers on mobile devices, you can also click hereto prevent any future recording by Google Analytics on this website (this opt-out will only work in this browser, and only for this domain). This results in an opt-out cookie being set on your terminal device. If you delete cookies in your browser, you will have to click this link once again. Finally, there is also an option to prevent cookies from being set via your browser settings. If you don’t accept the use of functional cookies, this can result in limitations in our website functionality.
III. Use of tracking technologies for personalised Internet advertising
Insofar as you have provided us with your consent upon visiting our website, we will use third-party tracking technologies such as cookies or tracking pixels for personalised Internet advertising.
“Tracking cookies “ are text files which are stored on your computer/terminal device. “Tracking pixels” are small graphics in our website header. Both technologies facilitate the recognition of your browser also on other websites. In particular, we use the following tracking technologies by those third party-providers listed below, for processing the following information:
Google AdWords Remarketing by Google Ireland Limited(Google):

- Operating system
- Preferred language used
- Visit to our website, including date and time

2. Extent and purpose of processing
We use Google tracking technologies to recognise your browser based on the data logged as listed under 1. above on other websites, and to show you advertisements on such pages which are based on your presumed interests. Your presumed interests are deduced from a pseudonym profile. This pseudonym profile is drawn up from information about your Internet usage behaviour collected with the help of respective cookies/pixel. If for instance you were interested in certain products, we can then show you our products of this kind on associated websites by using third-party cookies as stated. This generally also serves to prevent advertising which would annoy you, since it is unsuitable and not in line with your interests.
You can find out about the categories used to show you personalised advertising in the Google Display network for any specific advert shown via the clickable “i-button” placed above such adverts, or on Google’s page “Why am I seeing this ad?”.
We log your consent so that we can prove it.

5. Legal basis for processing
Data processing takes place based on your consent (art. 6 sect. 1 a GDPR).
6. Right of revocation
Your consent to the use of tracking cookies for personalised advertising remains in effect until revoked by you, which you can do at any time with effect for the future, i.e. in a way similar to this: You can prevent the usage of tracking cookies for personalised advertising on the Google Display network by moving the slider for “Ads personalisation on the web” and/or for “Ads Personalisation on Google Search” under Google settings from left to right respectively. You can find out how to separately block advertising or individual advertisers here. You can also control for yourself whether tracking cookies are stored at all via your browser settings, by rejecting tracking across sites there.
IV. Use of social plug-ins
We use so-called social plug-ins (“plug-ins”) by the Facebook, Google+, Pinterest and Twitter social networks on our website. To safeguard the protection of your data, such plug-ins are not integrated into the site directly, but only via an html link (the so-called “Shariff solution” by c‘t). This ensures no connection is established to the providers of these respective social networks yet when visiting one of our websites which contain such plug-ins. If you click one of the buttons, a new window opens in your browser retrieving the page of the respective social network, where you can, for instance, click the “like” or “share” button (where appropriate, once you have entered your log-in data).
Please look up purpose and extent of their data collection and the further processing of data by providers, and your rights in this regard, plus settings options to protect your privacy, in such provider’s individual privacy notices.

The personal data requested from you on our website is transferred to us via a secure SSL („secure socket layer) connection using 256 bit encryption to ensure you are protected against third-party access.
In addition, we take additional technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against loss, destruction or abuse. Access to any customer account created, where appropriate, is for instance only possible via your personal password. You can contribute to protecting your data yourself by choosing a password which is as difficult to guess as possible (for instance by using a combination of letters, numbers and special characters), and by keeping it strictly secret.
