All data necessary for performing a contract with GARPA are processed for this specific purpose. If external service providers are also involved in the processing of the contract, e.g. logistics companies or credit agencies, your data will be passed on to them to the extent necessary in each case.
We use the data collected from you within the framework of processing the contract not only for this specific purpose but also to inform you from time to time about new offers and campaigns.
When you access the GARPA website, various information is exchanged between your device and our server. This may also involve personal data. The information collected in this way is used, among other things, to optimise our website or to display advertising in your browser’s device.
the browser you are using and, if applicable, the operating system of your Internet-capable computer as well as the name of your access provider.
The legal basis for processing the IP address is Art. 6 (1) point f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest arises from the purposes of data collection listed below. We wish to point out that we are not able to draw any direct conclusions about your identity from the data collected, nor can any be drawn through us.
If you accept geolocalization in your browser or operating system or other settings of your device, we use this function in order to be able to offer you individual services related to your current location. We process your location data in this way exclusively for this function. The data will be deleted once the use has ended.
Art. 6 (1) point b) of the GDPR serve as the legal basis, i.e. you provide us with the data on the basis of the contractual relationship between you and us. In order to process your email address for online orders, we are also obliged to electronically confirm receipt of your order due to a provision in the German Civil Code (BGB). Art. 6 (1) point c) of the GDPR serve as the legal basis. We store the data collected for performing the contract at least until the expiry of the statutory or possible contractual warranty and guarantee rights, provided we do not use your contact data for advertising purposes (see 3.3. below).
We pass on your delivery address details to a logistics company commissioned by us to process the purchase agreement. Should you provide your consent, we will forward your email address and telephone number to the logistics company commissioned by us in order to ensure that the goods are delivered according to your wishes. The logistics company will contact you prior to delivery to provide you with the time of delivery or to discuss delivery details with you. The data will be transmitted exclusively for this purpose and deleted after delivery.
If necessary, we may verify your identity by consulting information from service providers. Art. 6 (1) points b) and f) of the GDPR serve as the legal basis. Authorisation to do so arises from ensuring the protection of your identity and the avoidance of fraud attempts at our expense. The circumstance and the result of our enquiry will be added to your customer account or your guest account for the duration of the contractual relationship.
During the ordering process, we also check your credit rating, provided that you select the payment method ‘on account’. For this purpose, we pass on the following types of data to credit agencies cooperating with us: name, address, date of birth. Art. 6 (1) point f) of the GDPR serve as the legal basis. The legitimate interest required under this provision arises from our interest in minimising the credit risk associated with these types of payments. The circumstance and the result of our enquiry will be added to your customer account for the duration of the contractual relationship.
If you have already made a purchase with us, your data stored by us about you can be supplemented by score values. Scoring is the process of making a forecast of future events based on information collected and past experiences. Such processing is based on Art. 6 (1) point f) of the GDPR. The preparation of such forecasts is to be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the aforementioned provision. Based on the data stored about your, you will be assigned to statistical groups of people with similar entries in the past. The underlying method used is a well-founded mathematical-statistical method for predicting risk probabilities that has long been tried and tested in practice.
In the event of a delay in payment, we reserve the right to pass on the necessary data to a company commissioned with asserting the claim if other legal requirements have been met. Art. 6 (1) point. b) and Art. 6 (1) point f) of the GDPR serve as the legal basis. The assertion of a contractual claim shall be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the second provision. Information about the delay in payment or a possible bad debt loss will also be forwarded to credit agencies cooperating with us if other legal requirements have been met. Art. 6 (1) point f) of the GDPR serve as the legal basis. The legitimate interest required here arises from our interest and that of third parties in reducing contractual risks for future contracts.
The following explanations refer to the processing of personal data for advertising purposes. The DSGVO declares such processing of data based on Art. 6 (1) point f) of the GDPR to be generally conceivable and a legitimate interest. The duration of data storage for advertising purposes does not follow rigid principles and is based on the question of whether storage is necessary for advertising purposes. Please refer to Section 3.3.3 for the procedure to be followed should you wish to assert your right to object.
If you have concluded a contract with us, we will store you as a customer in our system. In this case, we process your postal contact details beyond a concrete consent, in order to send you information about products and services in this way. We process your email address, provided we have received it from you, in order to send you information about our own, similar products beyond a concrete consent.
To ensure that you only receive advertising information that is of supposed interest to you, we categorise and supplement your customer profile with further information. Both statistical information and information about you (e.g. basic details from your customer profile) are used for this purpose. The aim is to provide you with advertising that is solely oriented to your actual or supposed needs and not to trouble you with useless advertising.
You can object to your data being processed for the above-mentioned purposes at any time free of charge, separately for the respective communication channel, and with effect for the future. To do so, simply send an email or a letter by post to the contact details listed under Section 2.
If you object to your data being processed, the contact address concerned will be blocked for further processing for advertising purposes. We wish to point out that advertising material may still be sent temporarily in exceptional cases even after receipt of your objection. This is technically due to the necessary lead time of advertisements and does not mean that your right to object has not been considered. We ask for your understanding.

This means that we will send you a confirmation link after you have entered your email address in the registration field.
