Privacy Policy:

We are delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is a particularly high priority for the management of ARTBOX.Claus. Using the ARTBOX.Claus website is possible without indicating any personal data; however, if you want to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data may be necessary. Where processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we will generally obtain consent from the data subject.

Any processing of personal data, such as a data subject's name, address, email address or telephone number, shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the applicable country-specific data protection regulations. Through this data protection declaration, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, this data protection declaration informs data subjects of the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller, ARTBOX.Claus has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means (e.g. by telephone).

1. Definitions

The ARTBOX.Claus data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as for our customers and business partners. To this end, we first explain the terminology used.

In this data protection declaration, we use the following terms, among others:

a) Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ('data subject'). An identifiable natural person is someone who can be identified, either directly or indirectly, particularly by reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, online identifier, or one or more factors relating to that person's physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.

b) Data subject:

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

c) Processing

'Processing' means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data or sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means. Examples include collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

The restriction of processing involves marking stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

e) Profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

f) Pseudonymisation:

Pseudonymisation involves processing personal data in such a way that it can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information. This additional information must be kept separately and be subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or controller responsible for processing:

The controller or controller responsible for processing is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or specific nomination criteria may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h) Processor:

A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient:

A 'recipient' is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data within the framework of a particular inquiry, in accordance with EU or national law, shall not be regarded as recipients. The processing of such data by these public authorities shall comply with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.

j) Third party:

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, or persons authorised under the direct authority of the controller or processor to process personal data.

k) Consent:

Consent of the data subject is defined as any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes, signifying agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them. This can be given by a statement or clear affirmative action.

2. Name and address of the controller

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, the controller is:

ARTBOX. Claus

Mauerkircherstr. 34

81679 Munich

Germany.

3. Cookies

The internet pages of ARTBOX Claus use cookies. These are text files that are stored in a computer system via an internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a unique identifier called a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for a cookie. It consists of a character string that allows Internet pages and servers to be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables visited websites and servers to distinguish the user's browser from others that contain different cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified using the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, ARTBOX.Claus can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookie settings.

Cookies allow us to optimise the information and offers on our website with the user in mind. As previously mentioned, cookies allow us to recognise our website users. This recognition makes it easier for users to utilise our website. For example, a user who enables cookies does not have to enter their access details each time they access the website, as this is handled by the website and the cookie is stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the shopping cart cookie in an online shop. The online store remembers the items that a customer has placed in their virtual shopping basket via a cookie.

Data subjects may prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of the relevant settings in their internet browser, thus permanently denying the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set may be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular internet browsers. However, if the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in their internet browser, not all functions of our website may be usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

When a data subject or automated system calls up the website of ARTBOX.Claus, the website collects a series of general data and information. This general data and information is stored in server log files. The following may be collected:

(1) browser types and versions used;

(2) the operating system used by the accessing system;

(3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers);

(4) the sub-websites;

(5) the date and time of access to the website;

(6) an Internet protocol address (IP address);

(7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system;

(8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

ARTBOX.Claus does not draw any conclusions about the data subject when using these general data and information. Rather, this information is needed to:

deliver the content of our website correctly;

optimize the content of our website and its advertising;

ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology; and

provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. Therefore, ARTBOX.Claus analyses anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and security of our enterprise and ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Registration on our website

The data subject has the option of registering on the controller's website by providing personal data. The personal data transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for the internal purposes of the controller. The controller may transfer data to one or more processors (e.g. a parcel service), who will also use the data for internal purposes attributable to the controller.

When registering on the controller's website, the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) and used by the data subject, as well as the date and time of registration, are also stored. This data is stored to prevent the misuse of our services and to enable the investigation of offences if necessary. The storage of this data is therefore necessary to protect the controller. This data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to do so, or if the transfer serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

Registration by the data subject, involving the voluntary provision of personal data, enables the controller to offer the data subject content or services that can only be made available to registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered users can change the personal data they specified during registration at any time or request that it be completely deleted from the controller's database.

The data controller shall, at any time, provide each data subject with information upon request as to what personal data is stored about them. In addition, the data controller shall correct or erase personal data at the data subject's request, unless there are any statutory storage obligations. All of the controller’s employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this respect.

6. Subscription to our newsletters

On the ARTBOX.Claus website, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data is transmitted and when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.

ARTBOX.Claus regularly informs its customers and business partners about enterprise offers by means of a newsletter. The newsletter may only be received by the data subject if they have a valid email address and register to receive it. For legal reasons, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address registered by the data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, as part of the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to prove whether the email address owner is authorised to receive the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned to the data subject's computer system by their Internet Service Provider (ISP) at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. This data is collected in order to understand any possible misuse of the email address of a data subject at a later date and therefore serves the purpose of legal protection for the controller.

The personal data collected during newsletter registration will only be used to send the newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be contacted by email if necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or registration, for example in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer or changes in technical circumstances. Personal data collected by the newsletter service will not be transferred to third parties. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. Consent to the storage of personal data for the purpose of sending the newsletter can be withdrawn at any time. A corresponding link for this purpose can be found in each newsletter. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the controller's website or communicate this to the controller in a different way.

7. Newsletter tracking

The ARTBOX.Claus newsletter contains tracking pixels. These are miniature graphics embedded in HTML emails to enable log file recording and analysis. This enables a statistical analysis of the success of online marketing campaigns. Based on the tracking pixel, ARTBOX.Claus can see if and when a data subject opened an email, and which links in the email were accessed.

Personal data collected in tracking pixels contained in newsletters is stored and analysed by the controller to optimise newsletter delivery and adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of data subjects. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects may revoke the separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double opt-in procedure at any time. After revocation, the controller will delete these personal data. ARTBOX.Claus automatically interprets withdrawal from receiving the newsletter as a revocation.

8. Contact possibility via the website

The ARTBOX.Claus website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us. This includes a general electronic mail (email) address. If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Any personal data voluntarily provided by a data subject to the data controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not transferred to third parties.

9. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The data controller shall only process and store the personal data of the data subject for as long as is necessary to achieve the storage purpose, or for as long as is permitted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

Once the storage purpose has expired or the prescribed storage period has elapsed, the personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

10. Rights of the data subject

a) Right of confirmation

Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right, they may contact any controller employee at any time.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten):

Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay. The controller is obliged to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and the processing is not necessary:

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies and the data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by ARTBOX.Claus, he or she may contact any ARTBOX.Claus employee at any time. An ARTBOX.Claus employee shall promptly comply with the erasure request.

Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Article 17(1), the controller shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of any links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data, unless processing is required. ARTBOX.Claus employees will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

e) Right to restrict processing

Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain restriction of processing from the controller where one of the following applies:

The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.

The processing is unlawful, but the data subject opposes erasure and requests restriction of use instead.

The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, pending verification of whether the controller's legitimate grounds override those of the data subject.

If one of these conditions applies and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of processing personal data stored by ARTBOX.Claus, they may contact any ARTBOX.Claus employee at any time. The ARTBOX.Claus employee will arrange the restriction of the processing.

f) Right to data portability

Each data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning them, provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

Furthermore, when exercising the right to data portability under Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to transmit personal data directly from one controller to another, provided that it is technically feasible and does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To assert this right, the data subject may contact any ARTBOX.Claus employee at any time.

g) Right to object

Each data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time, to the processing of their personal data, if this is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

ARTBOX.Claus shall no longer process personal data in the event of an objection, unless compelling legitimate grounds for processing override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or unless processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If ARTBOX.Claus processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing purposes.

11. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook

On this website, the controller has integrated components of the Facebook enterprise. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is an online community that usually allows users to communicate and interact with each other in a virtual space. Social networks may serve as platforms for exchanging opinions and experiences or for providing personal or business-related information. Facebook enables users to create private profiles, upload photos and connect with friends.

Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States, is the operating company of Facebook. If a person lives outside the United States or Canada, the controller is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time an individual page of this website operated by the controller and containing a Facebook component is accessed, the web browser on the user's IT system is automatically prompted to download the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During this technical process, Facebook becomes aware of the specific sub-site of our website that was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook detects which specific sub-site of our website was visited by the data subject for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject.

Facebook always receives information about visits to our website by data subjects who are logged in to Facebook at the time of visiting our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component. To prevent this, the data subject can log off their Facebook account before visiting our website.

Facebook's published data protection guidelines, available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. Different configuration options are also available to prevent data transmission to Facebook. The data subject may use these applications to prevent data transmission to Facebook.

12. Data protection provisions regarding the application and use of Google AdSense

On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdSense. Google AdSense is an online service that enables advertising to be placed on third-party sites. Google AdSense uses an algorithm to select and display advertisements on third-party sites that match the content of the respective site. Google AdSense enables interest-based targeting of internet users by generating individual user profiles.

Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, is the operating company of Google's AdSense component.

The purpose of the AdSense component is to integrate advertisements on our website. Google AdSense places a cookie on the data subject's IT system. The definition of cookies is explained above. By setting the cookie, Alphabet Inc. can analyse how our website is used. Each time one of the pages on this website operated by the controller and containing a Google AdSense component is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject's IT system will automatically submit data to Alphabet Inc. for the purposes of online advertising and commission settlements. During this technical process, Alphabet Inc. collects personal data such as the IP address of the data subject, which it uses to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and to create commission settlements.

As stated above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies on our website at any time by adjusting their web browser accordingly and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Additionally, cookies already in use by Alphabet Inc. may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programmes.

Furthermore, Google AdSense also uses tracking pixels. These are miniature graphics embedded in web pages to enable log file recording and analysis, through which a statistical analysis may be performed. Based on the embedded tracking pixels, Alphabet Inc. can determine whether and when a data subject opened a website and which links they clicked on. Tracking pixels serve to analyse visitor flow on a website, among other things.

Through Google AdSense, personal data and information — which includes the IP address and is necessary for collecting and accounting for the displayed advertisements — is transmitted to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. This personal data will be stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may disclose the collected personal data to third parties through this technical procedure.

Further information on Google AdSense can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en/adsense/start/.

13. Data protection provisions regarding the application and use of Google Remarketing

On this website, the controller has integrated Google Remarketing services. Google Remarketing is a feature of Google AdWords which enables enterprises to display targeted advertisements to internet users who have previously visited their website. Therefore, the integration of Google Remarketing allows enterprises to create user-based advertising, showing relevant advertisements to interested internet users.

Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, operates the Google Remarketing services.

The purpose of Google Remarketing is to insert interest-relevant advertising. It allows us to display ads on the Google network or on other websites which are tailored to the interests of internet users.

Google Remarketing sets a cookie on the IT system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. When a cookie is set, Google can recognise visitors to our website when they call up consecutive web pages that are also part of the Google advertising network. Each time an internet site on which the service has been integrated by Google Remarketing is called up, the web browser of the data subject automatically identifies with Google. During this technical process, Google receives personal information such as IP addresses and browsing behaviour, which it uses for interest-based advertising.

The cookie stores personal information such as the internet pages visited by the data subject. Each time we visit our internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. Google stores these personal data in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

As stated above, the data subject can prevent cookies from being set on our website at any time by adjusting the web browser they use, thus permanently denying the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. Additionally, Google cookies can be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do so, the data subject must access www.google.de/settings/ads and adjust the settings in each internet browser used.

Further information and the current data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

14. Data protection provisions regarding the use of Google AdWords

On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdWords. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that enables advertisers to place ads in Google search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enables advertisers to pre-define specific keywords, meaning an ad on Google's search results will only be displayed when a user utilises the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google Advertising Network, ads are distributed to relevant web pages using an automatic algorithm that takes into account the previously defined keywords.

Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, is the operating company of Google AdWords.

Google AdWords promotes our website by including relevant advertising on third-party websites and in Google's search engine results, as well as inserting third-party advertising on our website.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a conversion cookie is stored on their IT system through Google. The definition of cookies is explained above. A conversion cookie expires after 30 days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not expired, it is used to check whether certain sub-pages were called up on our website, e.g. the shopping cart from an online shop system. Through the conversion cookie, both Google and the controller can determine whether a person who clicked on an AdWords ad on our website made a purchase, or cancelled a purchase.

Google uses the data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie to create visit statistics for our website. These statistics are used to determine the total number of users served through AdWords ads, ascertain the success or failure of each ad, and optimise our ads in future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie stores personal information, e.g. which internet pages the data subject has visited. Each time we visit our internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the internet access used by the data subject, 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 pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in their internet browser and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the data subject's information technology system. Additionally, a cookie set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programmes.

The data subject can object to interest-based advertising from Google. To do so, the data subject must access the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the browsers in use and set the desired settings.

15. Data protection provisions regarding the use and application of Instagram

On this website, the controller has integrated components of the Instagram service. Instagram is an audiovisual platform that allows users to share photos and videos, as well as disseminate such data on other social networks.

The operating company of Instagram is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time one of this website's pages is accessed, the Instagram component (Insta button) prompts the Internet browser on the user's IT system to download the corresponding Instagram component. During the course of this technical procedure, Instagram becomes aware of which specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to Instagram at the same time, Instagram detects which specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected through the Instagram component and is associated with the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, Instagram matches this information with the data subject's personal Instagram user account and stores the personal data.

Instagram receives information via the Instagram component that the data subject has visited our website, provided that they are logged in to Instagram at the time of calling our website. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the Instagram button. If the data subject does not want information to be transmitted to Instagram, they can prevent this by logging off their Instagram account before visiting our website.

Further information and Instagram's applicable data protection provisions may be found at https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.

16. Data protection provisions regarding the use of Pinterest

On this website, the controller has integrated components of Pinterest Inc. Pinterest is a social network. A social network is an internet social meeting place and online community that allows users to communicate and interact with each other in a virtual space. Social networks may serve as platforms for exchanging opinions and experiences or for providing personal or company-related information. Pinterest enables users to publish picture collections and individual pictures, as well as descriptions, on virtual pinboards (known as 'pins'), which can then be shared (known as 're-pins') or commented on by other users.

Pinterest Europe Ltd., Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland, is the operating company of Pinterest.

Each time one of this website's pages is accessed, the Pinterest component (Pinterest plug-in) prompts the Internet browser on the user's IT system to download a display of the corresponding Pinterest component. Further information on Pinterest is available at https://pinterest.com/. During this technical process, Pinterest learns which specific subpage of our website is being visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to Pinterest at the same time, Pinterest detects which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject and associates this information with the respective Pinterest account of the data subject for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected by the Pinterest component and associated with the respective Pinterest account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Pinterest buttons integrated into our website, Pinterest assigns this information to their personal Pinterest user account and stores the personal data.

Pinterest receives information via the Pinterest component that the data subject has visited our website, provided that they are logged in to Pinterest when they access our website. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the Pinterest component. If the data subject does not want information to be transmitted to Pinterest, they can prevent this by logging off their Pinterest account before visiting our website.

Pinterest's published data protection guideline, available at https://about.pinterest.com/privacy-policy, provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Pinterest.

17. Payment method: Data protection provisions regarding the use of PayPal as a payment processor

On this website, the controller has integrated PayPal components. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which are virtual private or business accounts. PayPal can also process virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account. As PayPal accounts are managed via email addresses, there are no classic account numbers. PayPal enables users to make and receive online payments to and from third parties. It also accepts trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.

The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. & Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg.

If you choose 'PayPal' as the payment option in the online shop during the ordering process, we will automatically transmit your data to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject agrees to the transfer of the personal data required for payment processing.

This data usually includes the first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number and any other information necessary for payment processing. Processing the purchase contract also requires such personal data in connection with the respective order.

Transmitting the data is aimed at payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transfer personal data to PayPal if there is a legitimate interest in doing so. Personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller for processing will be transmitted by PayPal to economic credit agencies for identity and creditworthiness checks. This transmission is intended for identity and creditworthiness checks.

If necessary, PayPal will pass on personal data to affiliates, service providers, or subcontractors to fulfil contractual obligations or process orders.

The data subject can revoke consent for PayPal to handle personal data at any time. However, this will not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for payment processing purposes.

You can find the applicable PayPal data protection provisions at https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

18. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If processing personal data is necessary for a contract that the data subject is party to, such as when processing is necessary for supplying goods or providing any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example, when responding to enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, processing personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another person. For example, if a visitor were injured on our premises, it would be necessary to pass on their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds if the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party. However, this would not apply if the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject require the protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. The European legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2, GDPR).

19. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to conduct our business for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.

20. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the storage period for personal data are the respective statutory retention periods. After the expiration of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment or initiation of a contract.

21. Provision of personal data as a statutory or contractual requirement; requirement necessary to enter into a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of failing to provide such data.

We would like to clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) and can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes, it may be necessary for the data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us in order to conclude a contract. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing any personal data, the data subject must contact an employee. The employee will clarify whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract; whether there is an obligation to provide personal data; and the consequences of not providing personal data.

22. Automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

As a consumer, you have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days, no reason necessary. The withdrawal period expires on the day that you, or a third party named by you who is not the carrier, accept the goods (or the last of the goods, if you ordered multiple items that were delivered separately), or on the day that you accept the services.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us of your decision to withdraw from the contract by means of a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or email).

You can find the withdrawal form in the 'HelpBox'.

We want to make sure you find artwork you love! If you change your mind within 14 days after receiving the work, you can choose from a full refund via store credit, or a refund to your original payment method minus a 10% processing fee. We are happy to work with you to find a replacement.
