3. General Information and Mandatory Information 

3.1 Data Protection 

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy. 

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. 

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication via email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. 

3.2 Information about the responsible entity 

The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:
OTTER-Messer GmbH
Schwertstraße 35
42561 Solingen 

Phone: +49 (0) 212 33 78 29
Email: info@otter-messer.de 

The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.). 

3.3 Storage Period 

Unless a specific storage period is mentioned within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing is no longer applicable. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur once the reasons for storage no longer apply. 

3.4 General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on this Website 

If you have given consent for data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR if special categories of data according to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent for the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing also takes place based on § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if necessary to comply with a legal obligation based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

The relevant legal bases in each individual case are explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy. 

3.5 Note on Data Transfer to the USA and other Third Countries 

We use tools from companies based in the USA or other data protection-unsafe third countries. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. Please note that in these countries, a data protection level comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed. For example, US companies are required to disclose personal data to security authorities without the possibility for the data subject to legally challenge it. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence agencies) may process, analyze, and store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities. 

3.6 Revocation of Your Consent for Data Processing 

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke a previously given consent at any time. The legality of data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. 

3.7 Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR) 

If data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation, including any profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis for the processing can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR). 

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be processed for the purpose of direct marketing (objection under Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR). 

3.8 Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority 

In case of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy. 

3.9 Right to Data Portability 

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to yourself or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible. 

3.10 Information, Deletion, and Correction 

You have the right, in accordance with applicable legal provisions, to receive free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct or delete this data if necessary. For this purpose and for any further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time. 

3.11 Right to Restriction of Processin

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:  

  • If you contest the accuracy of your personal data, and we are verifying the accuracy of the data 
  • If the processing is unlawful, and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of its use instead 
  • If we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but it is required by you for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims 
  • If you have objected to processing pending the verification whether our legitimate grounds override yours. 

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, aside from storage, these data may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State. 

3.12 SSL or TLS Encryption 

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" in the address bar of your browser and by the lock icon in your browser bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent for the storage of cookies and similar tracking technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively based on this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time. 

You can set your browser to notify you about the placement of cookies, allow cookies only in specific cases, exclude acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

The data entered in the contact form will remain with us until you request for deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after the completion of your request). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected. 

4.4 Inquiry via Email, Phone, or Fax 

When you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) is stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not share this data without your consent. 

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing the inquiries directed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if requested; the consent can be withdrawn at any time. 

The data you send us in contact inquiries will remain with us until you request for deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after the completion of your request).

We will only use the data you enter during registration for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. Mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject the registration.

4.6 Processing of Data (Customer and Contract Data) 

We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary for establishing, structuring the content of, or changing the legal relationship (master data). This is done based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.

PayPal 

All PayPal transactions are subject to the PayPal privacy policy, which can be found at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full 

Use of PayPal Checkout 

We use the PayPal Checkout payment service provided by PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. (22-24 Boulevard Royal L-2449, Luxembourg; "PayPal") on our website. The data processing serves the purpose of offering you payment options through the payment service. By selecting and using payment via PayPal, credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal, or "Pay Later" via PayPal, the data required for payment processing will be transmitted to PayPal to fulfill the contract with you using the selected payment method. This processing is carried out based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. 

Credit Card via PayPal, Direct Debit via PayPal & "Pay Later" via PayPal 

For certain payment methods such as Credit Card via PayPal, Direct Debit via PayPal, or "Pay Later" via PayPal, PayPal reserves the right to potentially obtain credit information based on mathematical-statistical methods using credit agencies. For this purpose, PayPal will transfer the personal data required for a credit check to a credit agency and use the information received about the statistical likelihood of payment default for a balanced decision regarding the establishment, implementation, or termination of the contractual relationship. The credit information may include probability values (score values) calculated based on scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical methods, with address data being among the factors considered in the calculation. 

Your legitimate interests will be taken into account in accordance with legal requirements. The data processing serves the purpose of credit checks in the context of contractual initiation. The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our legitimate interest in protecting against payment default when PayPal makes advance payments. 

You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR by informing PayPal. Providing the data is necessary for entering into a contract with the chosen payment method. Failure to provide the data will result in the contract not being concluded with the selected payment method.

5. Analytical Tools and Advertising 

5.1 Google Analytics 

This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files stored on your computer to analyze how you use the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. 

The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize their website and advertising. We will not use tracking tools to collect personal data about you without your explicit consent, transmit such data to third-party advertisers or marketing platforms, or link the data with your personal information (such as name or address) without your permission. 

5.1.1 IP Anonymization 

We have enabled IP anonymization on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website usage and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. 

5.1.2 Browser Plugin  

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to fully utilize all the functions of this website. Additionally, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by the cookie related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

5.1.4 Data Processing Agreement 

We have concluded a contract with Google for data processing and fully implement the strict guidelines of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics. 

5.1.5 Demographic Features in Google Analytics 

This website uses the "demographic features" of Google Analytics. This enables the creation of reports containing information about the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. This data is derived from Google's interest-based advertising and visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be attributed to any specific individual. You can disable this feature at any time by changing your Google account ad settings or by generally preventing Google Analytics from collecting your data as outlined in the "Objection to Data Collection" section. 

5.2 Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking 

We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" on our website, which includes conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). If you have your habitual residence in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the responsible entity for your data. Google Ireland Limited is thus the Google affiliate responsible for processing your data and ensuring compliance with applicable data protection laws. 

When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your device. These cookies have a limited lifespan, do not contain personal information, and therefore do not serve for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website while the cookie has not expired, both Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie, so there is no way for cookies to be traced across Ads customers' websites. 

The information gathered through the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics. This allows us to ascertain the total number of users who clicked on our ads and were redirected to a page marked with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that allows personal identification of users.

Your data may be transferred to the United States. There is currently no adequacy decision by the European Commission for the USA. The data transfer is based, among other things, on the Standard Contractual Clauses as suitable guarantees for the protection of personal data, available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://business.safety.google/adscontrollerterms/ 

The processing of your personal data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR from our predominant legitimate interest in targeting website visitors with interest-based advertising. You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data concerning you. 

If you disagree with this answer, you have the right to exercise your control over your data and request the specific actions you want to take.

You can disable personalized advertising for Google ads through your Google ad settings. Instructions for doing so can be found at: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de Alternatively, you can prevent the use of cookies by third parties by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative's opt-out page at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and following the guidance provided for opting out. This will prevent you from being included in conversion tracking statistics. For further information and Google's privacy policy, please refer to: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/
