As the operator of this website, DESIGNLOVR takes the protection of personal data very seriously and undertakes to observe and comply with all legal provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on data protection. The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to personal data on our website when a user visits it.
Personal data are all data with which affected users can be personally identified. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in the following text of the data protection declaration listed below.
DESIGNLOVR collects data, for example, if a user informs us of this in an e-mail. This may be the data contained in the user's e-mail signature, for example.
Furthermore, data is automatically collected by the IT systems we use when you visit the DESIGNLOVR website. These are mainly technical data (e.g. the browser used and its version, the operating system or the time of the page visit). This data is collected automatically as soon as the user visits our website.
If DESIGNLOVR reveals data to other persons and companies (contract processors or third parties) within the scope of processing, transmits it to them or otherwise grants them access to the data, this shall only take place on the basis of a legal permission (e.g. if a transmission of the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, pursuant to Art. 6 paras. 1 letter b DS-GVO is required for contract fulfilment), which has the consented to this, provides for a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interest (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).
If DESIGNLOVR entrusts third parties with the processing of data on the basis of a so-called "order processing contract", this is done on the basis of Art. 28 DS-GMO.
If DESIGNLOVR reveals data to other persons and companies (contract processors or third parties) within the scope of processing, transmits it to them or otherwise grants them access to the data, this shall only take place on the basis of a legal permission (e.g. if a transmission of the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, pursuant to Art. 6 paras. 1 letter b GDPR is required for contract fulfilment), which has the consented to this, provides for a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interest (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).
If DESIGNLOVR entrusts third parties with the processing of data on the basis of a so-called “Data Processing Contract”, this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.
If DESIGNLOVR processes data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this occurs in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure or transfer of data to third parties, this only takes place if it occurs for the fulfillment of our (pre)contractual obligations, on the basis of the consent, on the basis of a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests.
Subject to legal or contractual permissions, DESIGNLOVR will only process or leave the data in a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR processing. This means, for example, processing is carried out on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination of a level of data protection corresponding to the EU (e.g. for the USA by the “Privacy Shield”) or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations (so-called “Standard Contractual Clauses”).
The data stored by DESIGNLOVR will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no legal storage obligations to prevent deletion. If the data are not deleted by the user because they are necessary for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing is restricted. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons.
In accordance with statutory requirements, the records are kept for 6 years in accordance with § 257 (1) HGB (trading books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual financial statements, commercial letters, accounting documents, etc.) and for 10 years in accordance with § 147 (1) AO (books, records, management reports, accounting documents, commercial and business letters, documents relevant for taxation, etc.).
The user has the right to request confirmation as to whether the data concerned are being processed and to request information about these data as well as further information and a copy of the data in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR.
The user has correspondingly. Article 16 of the GDPR gives the right to request the completion of the data concerned or the correction of the incorrect data concerned.
In accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, the user has the right to demand that the relevant data be deleted immediately or, alternatively, to demand a restriction on the processing of the data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR.
The user has the right to request that the relevant data provided to us be received in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR and to demand their transmission to other persons responsible.
Furthermore, the user has the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR.

The dispatch of the DESIGNLOVR News Service is carried out by the dispatch service provider CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede, Germany. The data protection regulations of the shipping service provider can be viewed here: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/.

DSGVO and a contract processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 para. 3 sentence 1 DSGVO.
The dispatch service provider may use the data of the user concerned in pseudonymous form, i.e. without allocation to a user, to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimisation of dispatch and the presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes. However, the dispatch service provider does not use the data of the DESIGNLOVR newsletter recipients to write to the affected user or to pass on the data to third parties.
DESIGNLOVR will only send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications containing advertising information (hereinafter "Newsletter") with the consent of the user or a legal permission. If the contents of the DESIGNLOVR Newsletter are specifically described within the framework of registration, they shall be decisive for the user's consent. In addition, the DESIGNLOVR Newsletter contains information about our services and us.
Registration for the DESIGNLOVR newsletter is carried out in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that the user receives an e-mail after registration in which he/she is asked to confirm his/her registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with external e-mail addresses. The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time, as well as the IP address. Likewise the changes of the concerned user/in with the Versanddienstleister stored data are logged.
The registration procedure is recorded on the basis of the legitimate interest of DESIGNLOVR pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. DESIGNLOVR's interest is directed towards the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and the expectations of the user and DESIGNLOVR also allows the proof of consent.

DESIGNLOVR may store the unsubscribed e-mail addresses for up to three years on the basis of the legitimate interest before DESIGNLOVR deletes them in order to be able to prove a previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defence against claims.
An individual request for deletion is possible at any time, provided that the former existence of a consent is confirmed at the same time.
On the DESIGNLOVR website so-called “Sharing Buttons” of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Co. were integrated according to the “Shareiff method”.
A social network is an Internet-based social meeting place, an online community that enables the user to communicate with other users and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. In general, a social network enables its users to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friendship requests.
In contrast to the traditional integration of social media plugins, which led to every user being immediately recorded by the social networks when visiting a website and, if necessary, the IP address and further browser behaviour being logged, DESIGNLOVR only uses shared buttons according to the "Shareiff method" on this website. This method ensures that no unconscious data transmission takes place between the social networks and the user.
The Share button of Facebook, Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA has been integrated on the DESIGNLOVR website. Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland is responsible for the processing of personal data if the user lives outside the USA and Canada. The data policy published by Facebook can be found here: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/. It provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook.
The Share button of Twitter, Inc, 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA has been integrated on the DESIGNLOVR website. The data policy published by Twitter can be found here: https://twitter.com/privacy?lang=en. It provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Twitter.
The Share button of WhatsApp, Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland has been integrated on the DESIGNLOVR website. The data policy published by WhatsApp can be found here: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy. It provides information about WhatsApp's collection, processing and use of personal data.

It provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by XING. XING has also published data protection information for the XING share button at https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection.
Google Analytics (with anonymisation function) is integrated on the DESIGNLOVR website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, collection and evaluation of data about the behaviour of users of websites.
A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on the website from which a user came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for cost-benefit analysis of advertising.
DESIGNLOVR uses the suffix “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, Google shortens and anonymizes the IP address of the Internet connection of the user concerned when accessing this website from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to the DESIGNLOVR website. Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of this website in order to compile online reports for DESIGNLOVR which show the activities on these websites and to provide other services in connection with the use of this website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the affected user. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of the DESIGNLOVR website. Every time one of the individual pages of this website is called up, which is operated by the person responsible for processing and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the user concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the user concerned, which serves, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission statements.
Cookies are used to store personal information, such as access time, the location from which access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the user concerned. Whenever you visit the DESIGNLOVR website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the user(s) concerned, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
The user concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by this website at any time, as already described above, by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the user concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
The Google Tag Manager is a solution with which DESIGNLOVR can manage so-called “website tags” via an interface (and thus integrate Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into my website, for example). The tag manager itself (which implements the tags) does not process any personal data. With regard to the processing of personal data, we refer the user to the following information about the Google services. Usage guidelines: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.
The DESIGNLOVR website includes videos from the YouTube platform of third-party provider Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Further details can be found in the data protection declaration: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/. Details on the opt-out can be found here: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/.
The DESIGNLOVR website incorporates content from Getty Images, offered by Getty Images International, 1st Floor, The Herbert Building, The Park, Carrickmines, Dublin 18, Ireland.
Getty Images is an American stock agency. An image agency is a company that offers images and other image material on the market. Picture agencies usually market photographs, illustrations and film material. Via an image agency, various customers, in particular website operators, editorial offices of print and TV media and advertising agencies, license the images they use.
Getty Images allows you to embed stock images (for free if necessary). Embedding is the integration or integration of certain external content, such as text, video or image data, which is provided by an external website and then appears on your own website. A so-called embed code is used for embedding. An embed code is an HTML code that is integrated into a website by a website operator. If an embed code has been integrated by a website operator, the external content of the other website is displayed immediately as soon as a website is visited by default. To display the external content, the external content is loaded directly from the other website. Getty Images provides more information about embedding content at http://www.gettyimages.de/resources/embed.
Through the technical implementation of the embed code, which allows images from Getty Images to be displayed, the IP address of the Internet connection through which the user accesses the DESIGNLOVR website is transmitted to Getty Images. Getty Images also collects information about our website, the type of browser used, the browser language, the time and length of access. In addition, Getty Images may collect navigation information, i.e. information about which of our websites the affected user has visited and which links have been clicked on, as well as other interactions that the affected user has performed when visiting this website. This data can be stored and evaluated by Getty Images.
The DESIGNLOVR website includes various offers and services from various affiliate and advertising programs (affiliate partners).
“Affiliate marketing” is an Internet-supported form of distribution that enables commercial operators of Internet sites, so-called merchants or advertisers, to display advertising, which is usually remunerated via click or sale commissions, on the websites of third parties, i.e. sales partners who are also called affiliates or publishers. The merchant provides an advertising medium via the affiliate network, i.e. an advertising banner or other suitable means of Internet advertising, which are subsequently integrated into an affiliate's own website or advertised via other channels, such as keyword advertising or e-mail marketing.
The Amazon partner program is operated by Amazon EU S.à.r.l, 5 Rue Plaetis, L-2338 Luxembourg, Luxembourg. Further information and the applicable data protection regulations can be found at https://www.amazon.de/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=3312401.
The Affilinet partner program is operated by affilinet GmbH, Sapporobogen 6-8, 80637 Munich, Germany. Further information and the applicable data protection regulations can be found at https://www.affili.net/de/footeritem/datenschutz.
The operator of the Zanox Partner Program is ZANOX AG, Stralauer Allee 2, 10245 Berlin, Germany. Further information and the applicable data protection regulations can be found at http://www.zanox.com/de/ueber-zanox/datenschutz/.
The components developed by the affiliate and advertising programs were designed with the aim of referring customers via advertisements, e.g. in the form of links to different websites against payment of a commission. DESIGNLOVR can generate advertising revenue by using the components.
Within the framework of their affiliate programmes, the partners place a cookie on the information technology system of the user concerned. What cookies are has already been explained above. The tracking cookie does not store any personal data. Only the identification number of the affiliate, i.e. the partner referring potential customers, as well as the order number of the user(s) on a website and the advertising material clicked on are stored. The purpose of storing this data is to process commission payments between a merchant and the affiliate, which are processed via the affiliate network.
The user concerned can prevent the setting of cookies through the DESIGNLOVR website at any time, as already described above, by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent the partners from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the user concerned. In addition, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs.
DESIGNLOVR reserves the right to change the data protection declaration in order to adapt it to changed legal situations or in the event of changes to the service or data processing. However, this only applies with regard to declarations on data processing. If the user's consent is required or components of the data protection declaration contain provisions of the contractual relationship with the user, the changes will only be made with his or her consent. Furthermore, DESIGNLOVR points out that the user should regularly inform himself/herself about the content of this data protection declaration.
The DESIGNLOVR data protection declaration was created by the data protection declaration generator of DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which acts as external “Datenschutzbeauftragter München”, in cooperation with RC GmbH, which recycles used computers and the law firm WILDE BEUGER SOLMECKE | Rechtsanwälte. In addition the t3n data security guide as well as the Datenschutz-Generatur.de and the sample defaults of attorney Dr. Thomas Schwenke were consulted.
