You can find detailed information about our handling of personal data, and also about your rights, in the following paragraphs of this Privacy and Cookie Statement.
So that you can visit this website and use our services, we collect, process and use the following categories of personal data.
Cookies and similar technologies: We collect this data in an automated way by means of cookies, web beacons and similar technologies. In some cases we store unique identifiers in cookies in order to recognise your browser on your next visit.[Details].
Social networks: In addition, we sometimes also insert on some of the pages of this website functions of social networks ("plug-ins") to give you the opportunity to share or recommend interesting offers quickly and easily on these networks.
Disclosure/transfer to third parties: We will only disclose your personal data to third parties (business partners or service providers) if this is necessary for the purpose of providing this website and our services, or we are contractually or legally obliged or authorised to do so, or if you have previously consented. Sometimes we also cooperate with service providers outside the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA).
We use your data in accordance with the applicable data protection provisions, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). To the extent that we obtain your consent to the processing of your personal data (e.g. in the framework of newsletter subscriptions), Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR and Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR serve as the legal basis for the processing and storage of this data. For all other processing operations in the context of the use of this website, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR serves as the legal basis. According to this, the processing of personal data is allowed if it is necessary for the protection of legitimate interests, unless the interests of the data subject prevail.
With every access of this website, our servers automatically store general access data about this process in server log files (“log files”).
We do not combine this data with other data sources. The temporary storage of the IP address in the log files is required for technical reasons and to ensure system security, in particular for detecting abuse. These purposes also encompass our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art.
We delete the data as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. The IP addresses of users are deleted or shortened no later than 14 days afterwards.
We also actively collect information about your use of the website and offers.
Subpages visited and duration of the visit.
We collect this information automatically using cookies, web beacons and similar technologies, as well as selected third-party technologies (see Clause 9).
This includes the use of the information to manage and improve technical and functional aspects of the website. We use the information to improve our service to you, make the website more user-friendly and to optimise the selection of content and functionality.
We also use this information to be able to individually recommend relevant offers based on your previous visit to our website and third-party websites. Those users who are already interested in our offers will therefore receive targeted advertising on third-party websites.
We consider creating and optimising our websites, offers and advertising on a needs-orientated basis and adapting them according to the interests and habits of users to be a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit f) GDPR Our users expect that we will show them the most relevant offers, which also provide real added value to their purchase.
You can object at any time to the use of your usage data to create pseudonymised user profiles for advertising purposes, with effect for the future using this email to datenschutz@fotokasten.de . In this case, we store a so-called "opt-out" cookie on your computer. This opt-out cookie deletes the previously stored information and prevents the further capture of pseudonymised information.
We process the data as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes mentioned above. The data will subsequently be deleted.
Pseudonymous user profiles will be stored for a maximum of 24 months.
The relevant data from the email or input mask will automatically be sent to the staff member at our company who is responsible for processing customer requests.
At the time of sending the contact form, your IP address and the date and time of the request is also automatically stored on our servers.
The processing of personal data in the input screen or email is used to handle your request.
The other data collected (IP address etc.) during the dispatching process is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
The personal data transmitted by you when you contact us will be stored for the duration of the respective conversation with you, and for no longer than 6 months after the end of the conversation, except when there are longer statutory retention periods in certain cases. The conversation will have ended when circumstances make it evident that the matter at hand has been conclusively resolved.
Personal data that was additionally collected during the dispatch procedure will be deleted at the latest after a period of 14 days. You have the option of withdrawing your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. To do this, please send an email to: datenschutz@fotokasten. All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted immediately in this case.
You have the option of subscribing to our free newsletter on our website. The newsletter keeps you informed about the latest vouchers, discount codes or similar special offers for different product categories, such as fashion, travel or electronics in connection with offers that are published on our website. Your email address will only be disclosed to business partners if, at the time of the data collection, you expressly consented to also receive from those business partners newsletters about certain products and/or services.
When you subscribe to our newsletter, the personal data entered from the input mask is transmitted to us. Usually, you only need to enter your email address. In some cases, further information such as last name, first name and gender are requested.
In addition, your IP address and the date and time of the request are automatically collected and stored on our servers.
If it is the first time you have subscribed to the newsletters, you will receive a confirmation email to the specified email address. This email confirmation contains a link that you must click on to confirm your registration. This so-called double opt-in procedure is used to check whether the holder of the email address has actually authorised, and agrees to, the receipt of this newsletter.
All subscription procedures are logged to satisfy the legal requirements for recording the subscription process. The record includes the subscription and time of confirmation as well as the relevant IP address.
For shipping and evaluating our newsletter, we use the services of external service providers ("email delivery service providers"). Some of the email delivery service providers have their headquarters outside the EU/EEA. However, we work exclusively with companies that have an adequate level of protection for the data according to the provisions of the GDPR. For more information about the transfer to companies in third countries, see Clause 10.3.
“MailChimp”, a service of the company Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA .
The email addresses of the newsletter recipients and also any data described in the context of this Clause 5are stored on the servers of the email delivery service provider. Our email delivery service providers use the information collected on our account for dispatch and for evaluating use of the newsletter. Our email delivery service providers are in any case authorised to use the data of our newsletter subscribers in order to write to them themselves or pass the data on to third parties.
Insofar as you have agreed to this by registering for the newsletter, we can evaluate your use of the newsletter using tracking technology provided by the email delivery service provider. So-called web beacons or tracking pixels are embedded in the HTML emails sent with the newsletter. If the newsletter is opened, the external server of the email delivery service provider can use these web beacons to collect certain data about the recipient.
The name of the image file will be individualised for each newsletter recipient by appending a unique ID to it. The mail sender uses this to remember which email address belongs to which ID, and by retrieving the image, can determine which newsletter recipient has opened the email.
We combine the data about your use of our newsletter with your other usage data that we have saved in the context of your general use of the website under a pseudonymous profile (see Clause 3.2).
The data collected about you in the past is thereby pseudonymised. This summary entry helps us better understand your needs and preferences, so that we can optimally adapt the contents of the newsletter and our website to your personal interests.
The personal data processed within the framework of the order and the dispatch of the newsletter will be stored as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active. Ordering the newsletter and your consent to the processing of your data for the purposes stated above can be revoked at any time, either by using the link provided in the newsletter or by an email to: datenschutz@fotokasten.de.
Separate revocation with respect to the described tracking is not possible. However, you have the possibility of configuring your mail program so that emails are displayed in text form and not in HTML format. As a result, picture files and graphic files are hidden so that tracking is not possible. You can also prevent the use of web beacons by using the appropriate settings in your browser to prevent the installation of cookies.
Web beacons are used in conjunction with cookies.
In this case, the newsletter will not be displayed correctly and you may not be able to use all functions.
When you register with us, we use your data to create a customer account and to identify all data and orders with your person. Your customer account will remain active until you delete it or entrust us with the deletion.
We use the data you have provided to fulfil your product order. Photo book data is deleted 60 days after shipment.
After successful ordering and execution of an order, we will use the information you provide for invoicing. We will maintain the relevant order data and correspondence in accordance with the statutory retention periods, but for at least 7 years.
We use the data communicated by you and the history of your orders with our company to provide you with individual offers.
When you apply via our online portal, we use the information that you provide exclusively for the application process. We will keep your application for up to a maximum of 6 months after rejection, unless we employ you.
Below, we explain how cookies and similar technologies work, and also their use on our website.
Cookies: Cookies are small data files that are transferred to your browser and stored by it on your device when you visit a website. Unique identifiers, consisting of a character string by which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie is saved, can be stored in cookies.
This enables the visited web pages to recognize the browser, if a web page is accessed again.
Cookies can store a variety of information such as browser type, operating system, language settings or other personal page settings, your use of the website, ordering information or logon credentials. As a rule, cookies are not used to collect data that directly identify a person. Information collected with cookies may, however, be assigned to a natural person if they are combined with personal data for this person, such as an email address.
Our website basically uses two different types of cookies.
Session cookies are used to store information about your activities on our website for the duration of your visit. Session cookies are deleted once you close your browser.
Permanent cookies are stored on your device over a certain period of time, so that we can recognize your browser when you access the site again within this period. These cookies make it possible to generate anonymous usage profiles in order to, among other things, create and display personalised offers specific to your interests.
Web beacons and similar technologies: Web beacons (also known as pixel tags or GIFs) are also used on this website. Web beacons are small graphics (approximately 1x1 sized GIF files) embedded in web pages or in HTML e-mails and usually are not visible to the user. Web beacons are usually used in conjunction with cookies and enable tracking of user interaction with the content of websites or newsletters. With the help of web beacons, we can, for example, determine whether the emails were opened or certain links were clicked on, and certain overall trends, and also determine individual usage patterns and statistics about use of the website.
In addition, other technologies are sometimes used that operate in a similar way to cookies and store data in your browser or on your device. You do not have the option of refusing or disabling these tracking technologies through your browser settings, but they generally only work in conjunction with cookies. Accordingly, refusing cookies in your browser will also disable these technologies in most cases.
All these technologies are hereinafter jointly referred to as "cookies".
These cookies will not be used for promotional purposes or to create a visitor or usage profile.
They will be stored for the duration of your Internet session.
TRACKING COOKIES: We use tracking cookies to charge commissions to business partners with whom we cooperate. To this end,the tracking cookies document if and when a specific offer is clicked on. If you buy something at a participating business partner, the cookie identifies you as having come from our website and we earn a commission. The cookies are used solely for the purpose of the correct assignment of sales to the respective offer on our website.
FUNCTIONAL COOKIES: These cookies can be used to save your chosen settings (for example, cookie settings) for your next visit.
PERFORMANCE AND WEB ANALYTICS COOKIES: These cookies collect information about how you use the website, for example, headings and sub-pages you frequently visit, at what time most accesses are made or if you receive any error messages. All information collected by these cookies will only be made available in an aggregated form. They only serve to further develop and improve the functioning and performance of the website. Web analytics cookies may be set by us or by third parties on our behalf and are stored for the duration of your Internet session.
ADVERTISING AND TARGETING COOKIES: These cookies help us to capture your surfing habits and to make available coordinated and personalised offers matching your interests on this website as well as interest-based ads about our offers on the websites of third parties.
For example, cookies record information about which of the offers on this website you are interested in. The collection and analysis is carried out exclusively pseudonymously and does not enable us to identify you. We also use these cookies to control the frequency with which offers are displayed, so that you do not see the same offer again and again. We can also record and evaluate the effectiveness of our advertising, that we operate on the websites of third parties, for statistical and market research purposes. These cookies are mostly set by third parties on our behalf, e.g. by advertising networks or providers of social networks.
SOCIAL MEDIA COOKIES: In addition, this website can contain plug-ins from social networks such as Facebook, so that you can share contents of these web sites via these networks. If you take advantage of these features, these networks may also place cookies for their own advertising purposes in your browser.
Most internet browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or to always be notified before a new cookie is created. Each browser is a little different, so please refer to the Help settings on your browser toolbar to find out how you can manage your browser settings.
If you have multiple devices (e.g., smartphone, tablet, computer, etc.), please make sure that any browser on any device reflects your cookie settings.
You also have the possibility of disabling the receipt of all cookies on this website that are not absolutely necessary for the functionality of the site here. In this case, we store a so-called "opt-out" cookie on your device. If you delete the "opt-out cookie set by us", use another browser or change the device, you will need to re-activate the opt-out cookie.
Some Internet browsers offer the option of transmitting "Do Not Track" or "DNT” signals. Uniform standards for "DNT" signals have not yet been developed, this web site does not currently process or respond to "DNT" signals.
Please note that completely disabling cookies, however, may result in your being unable to use all the functions of this website.
For more information on cookies, please visit www.aboutcookies.org or visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
You can identify the plug-ins used by the respective logo of the corresponding social network (e.g. a white "f" on a blue background for Facebook or and an “Instagram camera” for Instagram).
Embedding a plug-in in a web page usually has the consequence that when you access the website, your browser is establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective provider and loads the appropriate plug-in as well as its contents into your browser loads, in order to integrate it into the website you visited. However, we have integrated the plug-ins in such a way that contact to the corresponding social network is only made if you actively interact with the plug-ins, for example, by clicking on the "Like" or the "Instagram" buttons and/or share content using the Share button. If you interact with the plug-ins without being logged in to the provider, the respective provider then only receives information about which website the corresponding page is accessed from. Only if you confirm that you want to share the information, will there be direct contact between you and the social network. The shared information may be sent directly to the server of the respective provider and stored there. The data collected from the provider may contain user data, including your IP address and geographical location, as well as technical data, such as the type of browser or operating system.
We use third-party technologies within our website for analysis, optimisation and advertising purposes.
All information collected will be transmitted to and stored directly on the servers of the third party. The information will only be made available to us anonymously and in statistical form. We do not have access to data that will allow us to identify you.
In some cases, we work with third-party providers that are based in the US. The transfer of data to service providers in the United States is carried out in accordance with the principles of the so-called EU-US Privacy Shield or on the basis of so-called standard contractual clauses of the EU commission. For further details, please see Clause 10.3.
In the following, we give you an overview and a description of the third-party technologies that may be used on this website.
We use all performance or web analytics tools only with activated IP anonymisation, so that the last three digits of the IP address will be erased immediately after collecting the data, and only the shortened IP address is stored on the servers of the respective third party.
The information collected by Google about the use of this website (including the shortened IP address) is stored on Google's servers in the US. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The truncated IP address according to Google is not associated with any other data held by Google. Google automatically deletes from Google Analytics the stored user identifiers (e.g. cookie IDs) after 14 months.
Opt-out: You may refuse the processing of your data by Google Analytics by downloading and installing the browser add-on available from Google to disable Google Analytics https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
Snowplow is an open source web tracking solution managed by Snowplow Analytics Ltd, EC2A 4RQ London, UK. The variant of Snowplow we use employs a tracking pixel and a cookie, allowing us to track when and how many users have visited our website, how often they visit, which of our pages they have visited and in which order, which browser or operating system they use, and which external links to an online shop they have clicked on. This information is used to evaluate how the website is used and to enable the demand-oriented design of our website.
If you do not agree with the storage and application of the usage data taken via Snowplow as described above, you can declare your objection to the collection and usage of data that takes place as part of these web analysis procedures. To do so, please click here.
"Hotjar" is analysis software provided by Hotjar Ltd, Level 2, St Julians Business Center, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julians STJ 1000, Malta.
We use Hotjar to identify ways of improving our website, diagnose technical problems, analyse user trends and, more generally, to optimise the website.
For more detailed information about what information might be collected by the advertising technologies, how it is used and transferred, please refer to the respective privacy policies of the third party provider via the links below.
On the website we use marketing and remarketing features of Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google“). These functions allow us to display more targeted advertisements for this website.
Google stores, by its own admission, the following data in connection with the display of adverts: Your web request, IP address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.
In the framework of the Google AdWords Conversion Tracking, a cookie is set on your computer ("Conversion Cookie") by Google when you click on a Google ad click and are redirected to this website. The conversion cookie enables us to identify whether and how many people who have accessed this website via an AdWords advertisement make use of our offers (e.g. a voucher code.
Google provides us with the data collected about you anonymously and makes it available only in statistical form, so we cannot draw conclusions about your identity. We use this information to create visitor statistics and to optimise our advertisements on Google.
Using the remarketing technology from Google, we can target users of our website on other websites with specific interest-based advertising.
To this end, when you access our websites directly via Google, a code is activated by Google and so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as "web beacons") are incorporated in the website. This is used to store an individual cookie on your device. The cookies can be set by different domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. In this file it will be recorded what content you are interested in and what offers you clicked, additional technical information about the browser and operating system, the IP address, referring websites, time of visit as well as further details about your use of the website. If, at a later point in time, you access another website, which is also part of the Google advertising network, targeted product recommendations and interest-based advertisements will be presented to you, which are related to the offers viewed on our website.
DoubleClick for Publishers is also an advertising service from Google. We use this service on our website to display offers to you based on your previous or concurrent visit to partner websites. For this purpose, cookies which contain a pseudonymous identification number are used. If you create a shopping basket in the online shop of a business partner, but have not yet paid, and then access this web page, sometimes information about your open shopping basket (for example, purchase value and product category) is automatically and pseudonymously transmitted by this cookie to Google. This is the case when our business partners also use Google DoubleClick and has expressly agreed to the transmission of the information. We may then offer you suitable gift vouchers in your open shopping basket. This form of advertising is completely automated and pseudonymous. We can only define general segmentation criteria (such as purchase value, product category), on the basis of which certain gift vouchers are displayed.
The cookie-generated information regarding your use of this website is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Opt-out: If you have a Google Account, you can disable personalized advertising from Google using the settings for advertisements in your account: https://myaccount.google.com/intro/privacy#ads. To do so, you will first need to log into Google. Alternatively, you can turn off personalized advertising from Google using this link or download and install the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de.
In addition, we offer you the possibility of at any time refusing advertising-related cookies and similar technologies in connection with this website, by clicking here.
We use on the website pixels of the social network Facebook, which is operated for users from its headquarters in the EU from the Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.
The pixels are integrated directly by Facebook when you access the website and they store a cookie on our users’ device.
Facebook receives information from your browser that our site has been accessed from your device. If you are logged in to Facebook at the same time or log in to Facebook in connection to the visit to our web page, Facebook can also directly assign your visit to our website to your user account. If you visit other websites that also use Facebook pixels, this information is associated with your user account. It is not possible for us to see what other web sites you visit.
These pixels make it possible for Facebook to determine the users of a website as a target group for the display of ads for this website on Facebook ("re-targeting"). Accordingly, we insert these pixels so that our ads on Facebook are only displayed to those users who have already visited this website and have shown interest in our offer. These pixels collect information about the user's browser session, and in particular the banners and links clicked, a hashed version of the Facebook ID and the URL which is viewed.
Every Facebook user has a unique and device-independent Facebook ID, so it is possible for us to address the users again on Facebook. We will not transfer any data sets, including, but not limited to email addresses of our users, to Facebook.
We may also use the pixels to record and evaluate the effectiveness of our Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes. Facebook can therefore use the pixels to determine how many users clicked on a switched advertisement and were redirected to our website.
We also receive from Facebook a report with information on the interactions of the user with our switched ads on Facebook (e.g. the number of "views", "Likes", or "Comments").
Facebook provides us with the data collected anonymously and only in statistical form, without reference to a specific person. We can only select which segments of Facebook users (such as age, interests) should be shown our advertising. However, as the data will be stored and processed by Facebook, Facebook can theoretically link this data with your Facebook account and also use it for their own advertising purposes.
Opt-out: If you have a Facebook Account, you can disable personalized advertising from Google using the settings for advertisements in your account: https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. To do so, you will first need to log into Facebook. Alternatively, you can click the website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/) of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance of opposition against usage-based advertising through Facebook.
(http://www.criteo.com/de/privacy/corporate-privacy-policy/) and object to the anonymous analysis of your browsing behaviour (Opt-Out) (http://www.criteo.com/de/deactivate-criteo-banners/).
We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the purpose of providing this products and services, or we are contractually or legally obliged or authorised to do so, or if you have expressly consented to this.
We work with various suppliers (printers, postal services, photo optimizer), which produce the products offered in our online shop.
The transfer of data is therefore carried out for the purposes of performance of the contract, according to Art. 6 (1 ) lit. b) GDPR.
We also work with technical service providers, which, on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR are authorized to provide services on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions. These companies can gain access to your personal data, but only to the extent necessary to fulfil their respective tasks. So, for example, we employ service providers to send out our newsletter or other marketing services, to perform customer service, analytics or infrastructure and IT services as well as website hosting.
It may happen that the service provider commissioned by us is in a third country, i.e. in countries outside the European Union (EU) / The European Economic Area (EEA). However, we work exclusively with companies that have an adequate level of protection for the data according to the provisions of the GDPR.
We are currently working with a number of service providers, which are located in the US.
The transfer of data to service providers in the United States is carried out in accordance with the principles of the so-called EU-US Privacy and also on the basis of so-called standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. The EU-US Privacy Shield is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the US to ensure compliance with European privacy standards in the United States. For the purposes of the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the EU Commission, this is a contract in which the service providers undertake to protect user data on our behalf in accordance with our data protection regulations and, in particular, not to pass it on to third parties.
With regard to our processing of your personal data, the following rights are available to you free of charge.
If you have given us your consent for the processing of your data, you have the right, at any time, to withdraw your consent by email or letter to our contact address as specified below. We will cease processing your data if necessary.

You can request us to correct incorrect data, and - as far as the statutory conditions are met - to complete or delete your data.
You can request us to limit the processing of your data - to the extent that the statutory prerequisites are fulfilled.
