We are pleased that you have visited our website and would like to thank you for your interest.

We value the trust you have placed in us very highly and thus fully appreciate the importance and responsibility of dealing with your data carefully and protecting it against misuse.

This data protection statement informs you about when we store what data and how we use such data – needless to say, always taking current legal regulations into account, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). With regard to Internet use, we also follow the TMG (German Telemedia Act) to protect your personal data.

In the following, we will inform you about how your personal data is processed. “Personal data” means all data which can be used to personally identify you.

As defined in the General Data Protection Regulation, the controller for this website is:

E-mail: Datenschutz@weinor.de

The controller responsible for processing personal data is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

When you visit our website, we collect the following information that is technologically necessary for us to display the website:

Use of cookies

We use so-called cookies on various pages to make your visit to our website more interesting and informative and to enable the use of certain functions. These are small text files that are stored on your terminal device.

Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your terminal device and enable us or our advertising partners to recognise your browser on your next visit.

For the aforementioned purposes, we also use the services of the following advertising partners (third-party providers), who are responsible for the data processing taking place through the service in accordance with Article 4(7) GDPR. These persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a predefined period of time, which differs depending on the cookie. Further information on our advertising partners' data processing and on your rights can be found in the privacy policies listed below.

 

If personal data is also processed due to individual cookies implemented by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with point (b) of Article 6(1) GDPR either for the execution of the contract or in accordance with point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website as well as a customer-friendly and effective design for the page visit.

Phone number tracking

We use a so-called "tracking telephone number" from Matelso GmbH, Heilbronner Str. 150, 70191 Stuttgart ("MaTelSo") to determine caller behaviour. In doing so, a tracking phone number is displayed on our website. If you call this tracking phone number, you will be redirected to our original phone number.

The call is forwarded by MaTelSo. It determines how often the individual tracking phone number was called and from which phone number this was done. After the phone call, the following data is transmitted to us by MaTelSo:

  • Tracking phone number called
  • Caller’s phone number, if not suppressed
  • Called party’s phone number
  • Start and length of call

This enables us to statistically evaluate the advertising campaigns shown.

The information obtained is processed by MaTelSo in accordance with our instructions, stored on servers in the EU and automatically deleted after 3 months.

You can find more information on the Matelso GmbH website:

Personal data are collected when you contact us (e.g. by e-mail or via the contact form on our website, or through the weinor “3D Designer” app). Exactly what data are collected if you use a contact form is shown in the corresponding contact form. Over and above this, you may also provide further data voluntarily when reaching out to us.

This data will be stored and used solely for the purpose of replying to your query or for us and our retailer/partners to contact you, and for related technical administration purposes.

Data processing for the purpose of implementing and processing the contract and of transferring data

We process the personal data which we collect from you to implement the contract. Without processing those data, we cannot conclude or implement the contract with you.

  • processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims pursuant to Article 6, Paragraph 1, Clause 1, Point (f) of the GDPR, and there are no reasons to consider that you have an overriding interest worth protecting in your data not being disclosed,
  • forwarding occurs in accordance with Article 6, Paragraph 1, Sent. 1 of Point (f) of the GDPR in order to enable the retailer/partner to contact you for the sole purpose of providing advice or information, and there are no reasons to consider that you have an overriding interest worth protecting in your data not being disclosed,
  • if there is a legal obligation to pass them on pursuant to Article 6, Paragraph 1, Clause 1, Point (c) of the GDPR, and
  • this is legally permissible and necessary to process contractual relationships with you pursuant to Article 6, Paragraph 1, Clause 1, Point (b) of the GDPR.
