3. Purposes of data processing, legal bases and legitimate interests pursued by HiFi & Foto Koch GmbH or a third party and categories of recipients

We have no influence on this. The following information is also collected without your intervention and stored until it is automatically deleted

  • the IP address of the requesting internet-enabled device,
  • the date and time of access
  • the name and URL of the retrieved file
  • the website/application from which the access was made (referrer URL)
  • the browser you are using and, if applicable, the operating system of your internet-enabled computer and the name of your access provider.

The legal basis for processing the IP address is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes of data collection listed below. At this point, please note that we cannot draw any direct conclusions about your identity from the data collected and that we do not do so.

The IP address of your end device and the other data listed above are used by us for the following purposes

  • Ensuring a smooth connection setup,
  • Ensuring convenient use of our website/application,
  • Evaluation of system security and stability.

The data is stored for a period of 180 days and then automatically deleted. We also use cookies, tracking tools, targeting methods and social media plug-ins for our website/application. The exact procedures involved and how your data is used for this purpose are explained in more detail below in section 3.4.

3.2 Conclusion, performance or termination of a contract

3.2.1 Data processing upon conclusion of a contract

The purpose of HiFi & Foto Koch GmbH is the retail and distance selling of goods and services. In this context, we process the data required for the conclusion, performance or termination of a contract . This includes:

  • Title, first name and surname
  • Billing and delivery address
  • E-mail address
  • Billing and payment data
  • date of birth, if applicable
  • telephone number, if applicable
  • IP address of the requesting internet-enabled device

The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, i.e. you provide us with the data on the basis of the contractual relationship between you and us. If we do not use your contact data for advertising purposes (see 3.3. below), we store the data collected for contract processing until the expiry of the statutory or possible contractual warranty and guarantee rights. After this period has expired, we retain the information required under commercial and tax law relating to the contractual relationship for the periods specified by law. For this period (regularly ten years), the data is processed again solely in the event of a review by the tax authorities. We review the necessity of data storage at regular intervals - at least every two years. When your goods are dispatched, the order data (for clarification, your name, email and delivery address) will be used to track the shipment and identify problem cases in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. (in the context of contractual/pre-contractual relationships), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. (other inquiries) GDPR.

The following data processing is also required to process the purchase contract:

  • If you have selected a payment method other than prepayment, direct debit or cash on delivery, we will forward the required payment data to a payment service provider commissioned by us.
  • We will pass on details of your delivery address and e-mail address to a logistics company commissioned by us for the purpose of processing the purchase contract. In order to ensure that the goods are delivered in accordance with your wishes, we may transmit your telephone number to the logistics company commissioned by us in the case of international and express shipments. The logistics company may contact you prior to delivery in order to coordinate the details of the delivery with you. The data will only be transmitted for this purpose and will be deleted after delivery.

Your delivery address and email address will also be stored and processed in the PAQATO shipping analysis system of PAQATO GmbH (Johann-Krane-Weg 6, 48149 Münster, Germany) in order to deliver the goods faster and without errors and to ensure smooth communication in this regard (legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR).

3.2.2 Identity, creditworthiness and transmission to credit agencies

If necessary, we check your identity with the help of information from service providers. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR. The authorization for this arises from the protection of your identity and the avoidance of fraud attempts to our detriment. The fact and the result of our request will be stored in your customer account for the duration of the contractual relationship.

I hereby consent to my creditworthiness being checked by HiFi & Foto Koch GmbH. I am aware that the check is carried out at the beginning of the order process and that I can revoke my consent at any time.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by sending an email to to the address given under Contact or in 2.. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the personal data processed until the withdrawal. If you do not wish to give the above consent, please inform us accordingly before you initiate the conclusion of your purchase. In this case, however, we can only offer you payment methods that are not associated with a credit risk for HiFi & Foto Koch GmbH. The circumstance and the result of our request will be stored in your customer account for the duration of the contractual relationship.

If you have already made a purchase from us, the data we have stored about you may be supplemented by so-called score values. The term scoring refers to the creation of a forecast of future events based on collected information and past experience. The data stored about you is used to assign you to statistical groups of people who have had similar entries in the past. The underlying procedure used is a well-founded mathematical-statistical method for forecasting risk probabilities that has been tried and tested in practice for many years.

In the event of a delay in payment , we transmit the necessary data to a company commissioned to enforce the claim if the other legal requirements are met. The legal bases for this are both Article 6(1)(b) and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The assertion of a contractual claim is to be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the second-mentioned provision. If the other legal requirements are met, we also transmit information about the delay in payment or a possible default to credit agencies cooperating with us. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest required here arises from our interest and that of third parties in reducing contractual risks for future contracts.

3.3 Data processing for advertising purposes

3.3.1 Advertising purposes of HiFi & Foto Koch GmbH

If you have concluded a contract with us, we will treat you as an existing customer. In this case, we process your postal contact data outside the existence of a specific consent in order to send you information about new products and services in this way.

3.3.2 Interest-based advertising

We categorize and add further information to your customer profile so that you only receive information that is supposedly of interest to you. Both statistical information and personal information (e.g. basic data from your customer profile) are used for this purpose. The aim is to send you advertising based solely on your actual or perceived needs and not to bother you with unnecessary advertising.

The legal basis for the aforementioned processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The processing of existing customer data in this way for our own advertising purposes or for the advertising purposes of third parties is to be regarded as a legitimate interest.

3.3.3 Right to object

You can object to data processing for the aforementioned purposes at any time free of charge, separately for the respective communication channel and with effect for the future. All you need to do is send an email or a letter by post to the contact details listed under 2.

If you file an objection, the contact address concerned will be blocked for further advertising data processing. We would like to point out that in exceptional cases, advertising material may still be sent temporarily even after we have received your objection. This is technically due to the necessary lead time for advertisements and does not mean that we will not implement your objection. Thank you for your understanding.

3.3.4 Newsletter dispatch

On our website, we offer you the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletter. In order to ensure that no errors have been made when entering your e-mail address, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure: After you have entered your e-mail address in the registration field, we will send you a confirmation link. Only when you click on this confirmation link will your e-mail address be added to our mailing list. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. All you need to do is click on the "Unsubscribe newsletter" link in each newsletter. Alternatively, you can send an email to the email address given under 2.

We currently use GetResponse software (Sp. z o.o., Arkonska 6/A3 80-387 Gdansk, Poland) to send our newsletters. Relevant data is passed on to GetResponse to ensure smooth dispatch and personalized content as well as to monitor success. In addition to your email address, this may include information from your customer account and your usage and purchasing behavior. Other pseudonymized data such as retrieval times, IP addresses, end devices and browsers etc. are also collected. For statistical purposes, we and GetResponse evaluate various actions, e.g. which links in the newsletter are clicked, which items were sold, etc. Web beacons and/or tracking pixels are used for evaluation. The targeting measures listed and used by us and GetResponse are carried out on the basis of Article 6(1) GDPR. GetResponse is a very secure partner that is contractually bound to the highest data protection standards. Further information on GetResponse's data protection can be found at https://www.getresponse.com/de/legal/datenschutz. A change of provider is not ruled out in the future, but is not currently planned. In the event of a change of provider, the data usage rights will be transferred to the new software provider, who will adhere to at least the same high standards.

Brandfit Vertriebs GmbH, Kronprinzenstr. 5-7, 45128 Essen, Germany, telephone: 0201 - 8399770
Mail: info@brand-fit.de, representative of the controller: Marcus Lerche.

You can contact the above-mentioned data protection officer directly at any time with any questions or suggestions regarding data protection in connection with the "Acquire" tool.

The necessary data is used to establish contact and to ensure the usability of the chat and video function. This includes the browser type and version used, the operating system used by the accessing system, the date and time of access to the website, a shortened Internet Protocol address (anonymized IP address) and the Internet service provider of the accessing system. Your data is of course transmitted in encrypted form. You can decide for yourself which additional data you make available within the chat / video chat. Your data is generally processed for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) or on the basis of your consent, unless a contractual relationship exists or is established (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). In some cases, the data may be used on the basis of the legitimate interest in maintaining and improving the functionality of the "Acquire" tool (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Insofar as the processing of your data is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract, the provision of your data is contractually required. Otherwise, the contractual services cannot be provided.

When using the (video) chat tool, data is also sent to Acquire and stored on its servers. Unless otherwise configured, Acquire collects information such as chat and messaging transcripts and browsing information. Automatic information such as web browser used, IP address, operating system, browser types, page view statistics, and the type of device used is also collected. The data is stored on servers in the USA. Acquire guarantees compliance with the EU standard contractual clauses and thus processing in compliance with the requirements of the EU GDPR. Further information and Aquire's privacy policy can be found at: www.acquire.io/security/ or www.acquire.io/privacy-policy/. Your data will not be stored beyond the use of the Acquire tool.

3.5. customer account

In order to provide you with the greatest possible convenience when shopping, we offer you the permanent storage of your personal data, open and completed orders and parcel deliveries in a password-protected customer account. Once you have set up a customer account, you do not need to enter your data again. You can also view the data stored about you in your customer account at any time.

If you are ordering as a new customer, please send us the data listed under 3.2. In order to ensure that your order is processed securely and your payment transactions are allocated correctly, we must assign a customer number to your order. This customer number will be communicated to you with the order confirmation.

In order to provide you with the greatest possible convenience when shopping, we offer you the opportunity to view your stored data as well as open and completed orders and parcel deliveries in a password-protected customer account.

When your customer number is assigned, you will be given an automatically generated password. You can change this password in the customer area. The password is used together with your e-mail address and/or customer number to access your customer account.

If you place a second order, you can order again as a new customer or log in to your customer account before placing the order. For the avoidance of doubt, you do not have to order under the existing or already assigned customer number.

Please treat your personal access data confidentially and in particular do not make it accessible to unauthorized third parties. We cannot accept any liability for misused passwords unless we are responsible for the misuse. Please note that you will automatically remain logged in to for a short period after leaving our website unless you actively log out.

3.6. contact form

To make it easy for you to contact our service team, we provide you with a contact form. We enrich this contact form with data from your customer profile to make it as easy as possible for you to contact us. We can only access this customer data if you have previously logged in with your email or customer number and your personal password (see 3.5). We cannot accept any liability for misuse of the contact form unless we are responsible for the misuse.

3.7. photo competitions

Several times per calendar year we organize photo competitions in which you may send in pictures to take part in the competition. These photo competitions are organized by HiFi & Foto Koch GmbH or in cooperation with our partners. All persons over the age of 18 may participate. By submitting a photo, you agree to the respective conditions of participation. The participant assures that he or she owns all rights to the submitted photo, has the unrestricted exploitation rights to all parts of the photo, that the photo is free of third-party rights and that no personal rights are violated in the depiction of persons. If one or more persons are recognizably depicted in the photo, the persons concerned must agree to the photo being published. The participant will provide written confirmation of the above on request. Should third parties nevertheless assert claims for infringement of their rights, the participant shall indemnify the organizer against all claims. The data submitted by the participants will be published if the photos are published as part of the photo competition (reporting on this, award ceremony, publication on the homepage, etc.) or, if necessary, passed on to third parties involved (e.g. newspaper editors). The participants expressly agree to this.

3.8. making appointments

On our website, you have the opportunity to make appointments for an on-site, virtual or digital consultation. Certain personal data is collected for this purpose, including name, address, telephone number and email address. We use the appointment management software from eTermin (eTermin GmbH, Im Wiesengrund 8, 8304 Wallisellen, Switzerland) to enable our customers to make appointments as smoothly and conflict-free as possible. Personal data is only collected and processed by eTermin GmbH to the extent necessary in the context of this appointment booking. We process and store your personal data only as long as it is necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual and legal obligations. If the storage of personal data is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of these obligations, it will be deleted, unless there are legal storage obligations.

4. Recipients outside the EU

With the exception of the processing described under 3.4.2 and 3.4.3, we do not pass on your data to recipients based outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. The processing mentioned under 3.4.2 and 3.4.3 results in the transfer of data to the servers of the providers of tracking and targeting technologies commissioned by us. These servers are located in the USA. Data is transferred in accordance with the principles of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and on the basis of the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses.

5. Your rights

5.1. overview

In addition to the right to withdraw the consent you have given us, you have the following additional rights if the relevant legal requirements are met:

  • Right to information about your personal data stored by us in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR,
  • Right to rectification of incorrect data or completion of correct data in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR,
  • Right to erasure of your data stored by us in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR,
  • Right to restriction of the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR,
  • Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR.

5.2. right to object

Under the conditions of Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, data processing may be objected to for reasons arising from the particular situation of the data subject.

The above general right to object applies to all processing purposes described in this data protection information that are processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. In contrast to the special right to object to data processing for advertising purposes (see 3.3.4 above), we are only obliged under the GDPR to implement such a general objection if you give us reasons of overriding importance (e.g. a possible danger to life or health). In addition, you have the option of contacting our data protection officer (see contact in 2.) or the supervisory authority responsible for HiFi & Foto Koch GmbH.

6. Data security

All data transmitted by you personally, including your payment data, is transmitted using the generally accepted and secure TLS (Transport Layer Security) standard, a technical enhancement of SSL (Secure Socket Layer). TLS is a secure and proven standard that is also used in online banking, for example. You can recognize a secure TSL connection by the s appended to http (i.e. https://...) in the address bar of your browser or by the lock symbol at the bottom of your browser.

We also use suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data stored by us against manipulation, partial or complete loss and against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved and reviewed in line with technological developments.
