Privacy Policy

Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the data. Failure to provide it has no consequences. This only applies insofar as no other indication is given in the following processing operations. “Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Your personal data (e.g. form of address, name, address, email address, telephone number, bank details, credit card number) is processed by us solely in accordance with the provisions of German data protection law. The following provisions inform you about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection, processing and use of personal data. This privacy policy applies only to our websites. If you are redirected to other sites via links on our pages, please inform yourself there about the respective handling of your data.

• Behälter K.G. Bremen GmbH, Theodor-Barth-Str. 25, 28307 Bremen, represented by its Managing Director: Julian Beckh (hereinafter referred to as the “Seller”), uses personal data (e.g. form of address, name, address, email address, telephone number, fax number, bank details, IP address) in accordance with the provisions of German data protection law. The Seller collects, stores and processes only such data as is provided by the user in the course of their input for ordering goods. The Seller uses the user’s data without separate consent solely for the fulfillment and processing of the order.
• Once the contract has been fully processed and the purchase price has been paid in full, the user’s data will be blocked for further use and deleted after expiry of the tax and commercial law retention periods, unless the user has expressly consented to further use of their data.
• The user may object at any time, with effect for the future, to the storage and use of their data, which is logged by the Seller in accordance with the statutory provisions; the objection itself is also logged. The objection can be made by email to mail@behaelter-kg.de or by post to the Seller at the address stated in section 1.
• Furthermore, the user has the right at any time to request the rectification, blocking or deletion of their data and to object to the use of their data for direct marketing or advertising purposes.
• If the user requires further information on the storage of their personal data or wishes their data to be deleted, blocked or rectified, free support is available via the email address stated in section 4 or the postal address stated in section 1.
• This privacy policy can be accessed and viewed at any time on the Seller’s website.
• Beyond the explanations above, all personal data transmitted by the data subject to the Seller will not be made accessible to third parties without the data subject’s separate written consent, unless this is required by law or by an official order.

When opening a customer account, we collect your personal data to the extent specified there. The data processing serves the purpose of improving your shopping experience and simplifying order processing. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR with your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until withdrawal. Your customer account will then be deleted.

3.1 Your personal data, insofar as it is necessary for establishing, defining or amending the contractual relationship (master data), is used exclusively for contract processing. For example, your name and address must be forwarded to the delivery company to deliver the goods.

3.2 Without your express consent or without a legal basis, your personal data will not be passed on to third parties outside of contract processing. Once the contract has been fully processed, your data will be blocked for further use. After expiry of the tax and commercial law retention periods, this data will be deleted unless you have expressly consented to further use.

You can visit our website without providing any personal data. Each time you access our website, usage data is transmitted by your internet browser and stored in log files (server log files). The stored data includes, for example, the name of the page accessed, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. These data are used exclusively to ensure trouble-free operation of our website and to improve our services. It is not possible to attribute these data to a specific person.

When using the contact form, we collect your personal data (name, email address, message text) only to the extent provided by you. The data processing serves the purpose of contacting you. By sending your message, you consent to the processing of the transmitted data. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR with your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until withdrawal. We use your email address only to process your request. Your data will then be deleted unless you have consented to further processing and use.

When placing an order, we collect and use your personal data only to the extent necessary to fulfill and process your order and to handle your enquiries. Providing the data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract. Failure to provide the data means that no contract can be concluded. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR and is required for the performance of a contract with you. Your data will not be transferred to third parties without your express consent. Exempt from this are our service partners who are required for contract processing or service providers whom we use as processors. In addition to the recipients named in the respective clauses of this privacy policy, such recipients include, for example, the following categories: shipping providers, payment service providers, merchandise management service providers, service providers for order processing, web hosts, IT service providers and drop-shipping merchants. In all cases, we strictly observe the legal requirements; the scope of data transmission is limited to a minimum.

We use your email address, which we obtained in connection with the sale of a product or service, to send you electronic advertising for our own products or services that are similar to those you have already purchased from us, provided you have not objected to this use. Providing the email address is necessary for the conclusion of the contract. Failure to provide it means that no contract can be concluded. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR from our legitimate interest in direct advertising. You may object to this use of your email address at any time by notifying us. The contact details for exercising the objection can be found in the imprint. You can also use the corresponding link in the advertising email. No costs arise for this other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs.

If we make advance deliveries, e.g. in the case of payment on invoice or direct debit, we reserve the right to obtain a credit report based on mathematical-statistical methods from CREDITREFORM. For this purpose, we transmit the personal data required for the credit check and use the information received about the statistical probability of default to reach a balanced decision about the establishment, execution or termination of the contractual relationship. The credit report may include probability values (score values) calculated using scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical methods, which may include address data. Your legitimate interests are considered in accordance with the statutory provisions. The data processing serves the purpose of a credit check for initiating a contract. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR due to our legitimate interest in protection against payment default when making advance deliveries. You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to such processing of personal data concerning you, based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, by notifying us. Providing the data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract with the payment method you have chosen. Failure to provide it means that the contract cannot be concluded using the payment method you selected.

You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to such processing of personal data concerning you, based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

We use the remarketing or “Similar Audiences” function on our website provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). This function serves the purpose of analysing visitor behaviour and interests.

Google uses cookies to analyse website usage, which forms the basis for creating interest-based advertising. Cookies are used to record visits to the website and anonymised data on website use.

If you subsequently visit another website in the Google Display Network, you may see ads that are likely to include previously viewed product and information areas.

Your data may also be transferred to the USA. An adequacy decision of the European Commission exists for data transfers to the USA.

We use the online advertising programme “Google AdWords” on our website and, within this framework, conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). If you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that you have clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. It is therefore not possible to track cookies via the websites of AdWords customers.

The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who have clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR from our legitimate interest in targeted advertising and in analysing the effectiveness and efficiency of this advertising.

You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to such processing of personal data concerning you, based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

To do this, you can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. However, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

You can also deactivate personalised advertising for you in Google’s advertising settings. Instructions on how to do this can be found at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de. In addition, you can deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers by visiting the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the opt-out information mentioned there.
