2.General information and mandatory information
Data protection
The operators of this website and
its pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously.
Hence, we handle your personal data as confidential information and in
compliance with the statutory data protection regulations and this Data
Protection Declaration.
Whenever you use this website, a variety of
personal information will be collected. Personal data comprises data
that can be used to personally identify you. This Data Protection
Declaration explains which data we collect as well as the purposes we
use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the
information is collected.
We herewith advise you that the
transmission of data via the Internet (i.e., through e-mail
communications) may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to
completely protect data against third-party access.
Information about the responsible party (referred to as the
“controller” in the GDPR)
34 RUE DE TREVISE PARIS 75009 France
E-mail:
bd@ads-simple.com
The
controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or
jointly with others makes decisions as to the purposes of and resources
for the processing of personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses,
etc.).
Storage duration
Unless a more
specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your
personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was
collected no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for
deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be
deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing
your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in
the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease
to apply.
General information on the legal basis for the data processing on
this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your
personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR,
if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 (1)
DSGVO. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data
to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49 (1)(a)
GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access
to information in your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the
data processing is additionally based on § 25 (1) TTDSG. The consent can
be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfillment of
a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we
process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, if
your data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, we
process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Furthermore, the data
processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest
according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis
in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this
privacy policy.
Information on data transfer to the USA and other non-EU
countries
Among other things, we use tools of companies domiciled in the
United States or other from a data protection perspective non-secure
non-EU countries. If these tools are active, your personal data may
potentially be transferred to these non-EU countries and may be
processed there. We must point out that in these countries, a data
protection level that is comparable to that in the EU cannot be
guaranteed. For instance, U.S. enterprises are under a mandate to
release personal data to the security agencies and you as the data
subject do not have any litigation options to defend yourself in court.
Hence, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. agencies (e.g., the Secret
Service) may process, analyze, and permanently archive your personal
data for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing
activities.
Revocation of your consent to the processing of data
A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only
subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any
consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to
the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your
revocation.
Right to Object to the Collection of Data in Special Cases; Right to
Object to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
In the event that data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e)
or (f) GDPR, you have the right to at any time object to the processing
of your personal data based on grounds arising from your unique
situation. This also applies to any profiling based on these provisions.
To determine the legal basis on which any processing of data is based,
please consult this data protection declaration. If you log an
objection, we will no longer process your affected personal data, unless
we are in a position to present compelling protection-worthy grounds for
the processing of your data that outweigh your interests, rights, and
freedoms, or if the purpose of the processing is the claiming,
exercising, or defense of legal entitlements (objection pursuant to Art.
21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is being processed in order to
engage in direct advertising, you have the right to object to the
processing of your affected personal data for the purposes of such
advertising at any time. This also applies to profiling to the extent
that it is affiliated with such direct advertising. If you object, your
personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising
purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory
agency
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are
entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in
the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of
work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to
log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or
court proceedings available as legal recourses.
Right to data portability
You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we
automatically process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfil
a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used,
machine readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the
data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically
feasible.
SSL and/or TLS encryption
For
security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential
content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the
website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption
program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether
the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://”
and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.
If
the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot
be read by third parties.
Data Deletion Instructions
If you wish to delete your personal data collected by our app,
you can request deletion in either of the following ways:
For any other questions about your personal data, please contact us at bd@ads-simple.com.
Right to demand processing restrictions
You have
the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the
processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact
us at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in
the following cases:
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data
– with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject
to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to
protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for
important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a
member state of the EU.
Rejection of unsolicited e-mails
We herewith object to the use of contact information published in
conjunction with the mandatory information to be provided in our Site
Notice to send us promotional and information material that we have not
expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve
the express right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited
sending of promotional information, for instance via SPAM messages.
3.Recording of data on this website
Cookies
Our websites and pages use what the
industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that do
not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily
for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are permanently
archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are
automatically deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies
remain archived on your device until you actively delete them, or they
are automatically eradicated by your web browser.
In some cases, it
is possible that third-party cookies are stored on your device once you
enter our site (third-party cookies). These cookies enable you or us to
take advantage of certain services offered by the third party (e.g.,
cookies for the processing of payment services).
Cookies have a
variety of functions. Many cookies are technically essential since
certain website functions would not work in the absence of the cookies
(e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). The purpose
of other cookies may be the analysis of user patterns or the display of
promotional messages.
Cookies, which are required for the
performance of electronic communication transactions, or for the
provision of certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping
cart function) or those that are necessary for the optimization
(required cookies) of the website (e.g., cookies that provide measurable
insights into the web audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art.
6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited. The operator of
the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of required cookies
to ensure the technically error free and optimized provision of the
operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies and
similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing occurs
exclusively on the basis of the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and
§ 25 (1) TTDSG); this consent may be revoked at any time.
You have
the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be
notified any time cookies are placed and to permit the acceptance of
cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude the acceptance of
cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete function
for the automatic eradication of cookies when the browser closes. If
cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be
limited.
In the event that third-party cookies are used or if
cookies are used for analytical purposes, we will separately notify you
in conjunction with this Data Protection Policy and, if applicable, ask
for your consent.
Server log files
The
provider of this website and its pages automatically collects and stores
information in so-called server log files, which your browser
communicates to us automatically. The information comprises:
This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data is
recorded on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The operator of the website
has a legitimate interest in the technically error free depiction and
the optimization of the operator’s website. In order to achieve this,
server log files must be recorded.
Contact form
If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the
information provided in the contact form as well as any contact
information provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle
your inquiry and in the event that we have further questions. We will
not share this information without your consent.
The processing of
these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to
the execution of a contract or if it is necessary to carry out
pre-contractual measures. In all other cases the processing is based on
our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests
addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your agreement (Art. 6(1)(a)
GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any
time.
The information you have entered into the contact form shall
remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the data, revoke your
consent to the archiving of data or if the purpose for which the
information is being archived no longer exists (e.g., after we have
concluded our response to your inquiry). This shall be without prejudice
to any mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods.
Request by e-mail, telephone, or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request,
including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and
processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not
pass these data on without your consent.
These data are processed
on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the
fulfillment of a contract or is required for the performance of
pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the data are processed on
the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective handling of
inquiries submitted to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your
consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the consent can be
revoked at any time.
The data sent by you to us via contact
requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your
consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g.
after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in
particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.
Registration on this website
You have the option to register on this website to be able to use
additional website functions. We shall use the data you enter only for
the purpose of using the respective offer or service you have registered
for. The required information we request at the time of registration
must be entered in full. Otherwise, we shall reject the registration.
To
notify you of any important changes to the scope of our portfolio or in
the event of technical modifications, we shall use the e-mail address

prejudice to mandatory statutory retention obligations.
Registration with Facebook Connect
Instead of registering directly on this website, you also have
the option to register using Facebook Connect. The provider of this
service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin
2, Ireland. According to Facebook’s statement the collected data will be
transferred to the USA and other third-party countries too.
If you
decide to register via Facebook Connect and click on the “Login with
Facebook”/„Connect with Facebook” button, you will be automatically
connected to the Facebook platform. There, you can log in using your
username and password. As a result, your Facebook profile will be linked
to this website or our services. This link gives us access to the data
you have archived with Facebook. These data comprise primarily the
following:
This information will be used to set up, provide and customize your
account.
The registration via Facebook Connect and the affiliated
data processing transactions are implemented on the basis of your
consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time,
which shall affect all future transactions thereafter.
Insofar as
personal data is collected on our website with the help of the tool
described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland
Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland
are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 DSGVO). The
joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the
data and its forwarding to Facebook. The processing by Facebook that
takes place after the onward transfer is not part of the joint
responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us jointly have been set
out in a joint processing agreement. The wording of the agreement can be
found under:
https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller\_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing the
privacy information when using the Facebook tool and for the
privacy-secure implementation of the tool on our website. Facebook is
responsible for the data security of Facebook products. You can assert
data subject rights (e.g., requests for information) regarding data
processed by Facebook directly with Facebook. If you assert the data
subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.
Data
transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses
(SCC) of the European Commission. Details can be found here:

4.Analysis tools and advertising
Matomo
This website uses the open-source web
analysis service Matomo. Matomo uses technologies that make it possible
to recognize the user across multiple pages with the aim of analyzing
the user patterns (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The
information recorded by Matomo about the use of this website will be
stored on our server. Prior to archiving, the IP address will first be
anonymized.
Through Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data
on the use of our website-by-website visitors. This enables us to find
out, for instance, when which page views occurred and from which region
they came. In addition, we collect various log files (e.g. IP address,
referrer, browser, and operating system used) and can measure whether
our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases,
etc.).
The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user
patterns, in order to optimize the operator’s web offerings and
advertising. If appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is
carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1)
TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access
to information in the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting)
within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any
time.
IP anonymization
For analysis with
Matomo we use IP anonymization. Your IP address is shortened before the
analysis, so that it is no longer clearly assignable to you.
Hosting
We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers so that all
analysis data remains with us and is not passed on.
5.eCommerce and payment service providers
Processing of data (customer and contract data)
We
collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary for
the establishment, content organization or change of the legal
relationship (data inventory). These actions are taken on the basis of
Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the
fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual actions. We collect,
process, and use personal data concerning the use of this website (usage
data) only to the extent that this is necessary to make it possible for
users to utilize the services and to bill for them.
The collected
customer data shall be eradicated upon completion of the order or the
termination of the business relationship. This shall be without
prejudice to any statutory retention mandates.
Data transfer upon closing of contracts for services and digital
content
We share personal data with third parties only if this is
necessary in conjunction with the handling of the contract; for
instance, with the financial institution tasked with the processing of
payments.
Any further transfer of data shall not occur or shall
only occur if you have expressly consented to the transfer. Any sharing
of your data with third parties in the absence of your express consent,
for instance for advertising purposes, shall not occur.
The basis
for the processing of data is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the
processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or for
pre-contractual actions.
