Privacy Policy
1. Controller
Stefanie Braun – Designbraun, Poststraße 1, 76307 Karlsbad, Germany, telephone +49 721 98614971, email info@designbraun.de. We have not appointed a data protection officer as we are not required to do so.
2. Legal bases
We process personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1) GDPR: point (a) consent, point (b) contract and pre-contractual measures, point (c) legal obligations and point (f) legitimate interests. We access information on your device (e.g. cookies) only where this is strictly necessary for the service you have requested or where you have consented (section 25 of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act, TDDDG).
3. Hosting and server log files
The shop is hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany, with whom we have concluded a data processing agreement. Each time a page is accessed, the server stores the IP address, date and time, page accessed, referrer URL, browser and operating system. This serves the security and stability of the shop (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Log files are deleted after 7 days.
4. Cookies, local storage and privacy settings
We set technically necessary cookies (e.g. for the basket, login and session) without consent (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR; section 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG). We load all other services only after you have consented via our consent manager (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Your choice is stored in your browser’s local storage. You can change or withdraw it at any time via the fingerprint icon at the bottom left.
5. Customer account
If you create a customer account, we store your name, address, email address, password (encrypted) and your orders (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). You can have the account deleted at any time; statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
6. Orders
For ordering, shipping, payment and customer service we process your name, billing and delivery address, email address, telephone number (if provided), order and payment data (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). We keep invoice and accounting data for up to ten years under commercial and tax law (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).
7. Shipping
For delivery we pass your name and delivery address to DHL (DHL Paket GmbH, Sträßchensweg 10, 53113 Bonn, Germany). We only pass on your email address or telephone number if you have consented during checkout so that DHL can notify you about the delivery (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); you can withdraw this consent at any time. Returns are handled on our behalf by Packservice GmbH, Riederweg 11, 76473 Iffezheim, Germany. For deliveries to Switzerland, we pass the data required for customs clearance to DHL; where we make the customs declaration ourselves, we pass it to the customs authorities (Art. 6(1)(b) and (c) GDPR).
