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 statutory 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.

Please note that data transmitted via the internet (e.g. via email communication) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information About the Responsible Party

The party responsible for data processing on this website is:

GENUSSERLEBNISSE SL Calle des Torrent des Mestre 6

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

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

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

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this Privacy Policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).

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

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event 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 violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either yourself or through a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.

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 website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted Payment Transactions on This Website

If, after concluding a fee-based contract, you are required to provide us with your payment details (e.g. account number for direct debit authorization), this data is required for payment processing.

Payment transactions using common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser bar.

With encrypted communication, the payment data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, Blocking, Deletion and Correction

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, where applicable, a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time using the address provided in the Legal Notice.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time using the address provided in the Legal Notice. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend, or establish legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – 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.

Objection to Promotional Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information, such as spam emails.

Cookies

Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser when you next visit our website.

You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and automatically delete cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies required to carry out electronic communication processes or to provide certain functions requested by you (e.g. shopping cart functionality) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Where other cookies (e.g. those used to analyze browsing behavior) are stored, they are addressed separately in this Privacy Policy.

  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data will not be combined with data from other sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, server log files must be collected.

If you submit inquiries to us via the contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of data entered into the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient. The legality of data processing operations carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Registration on This Website

You can register on our website to use additional functions. We use the data entered during registration only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject the registration.

For important changes, such as changes to the scope of services or technically necessary changes, we use the email address provided during registration to inform you.

The processing of data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke consent you have given at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient. The legality of data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data collected during registration will be stored by us for as long as you are registered on our website and will subsequently be deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Processing of Data (Customer and Contract Data)

We collect, process, and use personal data only insofar as it is necessary to establish, structure, or modify the legal relationship (master data). This is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process, and use personal data concerning the use of our website (usage data) only insofar as necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill them.

The customer data collected will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Data Transfer Upon Conclusion of Contracts for Online Shops, Retailers and Shipping

We transfer personal data to third parties only where necessary for contract processing, for example to companies entrusted with delivering goods or to the financial institution responsible for payment processing. No further transfer of data will take place, or only if you have expressly consented to such transfer. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Data Transfer Upon Conclusion of Contracts for Services and Digital Content

We transfer personal data to third parties only where necessary for contract processing, for example to the financial institution responsible for payment processing.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted 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 and internet usage to the website operator.

Demographic Features in Google Analytics

This website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated containing information about the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google as well as visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be attributed to a specific individual.

Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense, a service for integrating advertisements provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).

As part of Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that the internet browser stores on the user’s computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to this page.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their advertisement and were redirected to a page containing a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that can personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your internet browser’s user settings. You will then not be included in conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of “conversion cookies” and the use of this tracking tool are based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.

More information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Facebook Pixel

Our website uses Facebook’s visitor action pixel for conversion measurement, provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”).

This allows the behavior of website visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook advertisement. This enables the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized.

The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website, and we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, making it possible to link it to the respective user profile, and Facebook may use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy. This enables Facebook to display advertisements on Facebook pages as well as outside Facebook. We, as the website operator, have no influence over this use of the data.

The use of Facebook Pixel is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media.

Further information about protecting your privacy can be found in Facebook’s privacy information: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

You may revoke your consent to the storage of data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.

MailChimp is certified under the “EU-US Privacy Shield.” The “Privacy Shield” is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the USA intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the USA.

With the help of MailChimp, we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent with MailChimp, a file contained in the email (a so-called web beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the USA. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, were clicked. Technical information is also collected (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. It is used exclusively for statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of recipients.

If you do not want MailChimp to analyze your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe and will be deleted from both our servers and MailChimp’s servers after you unsubscribe. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected.

For further details, please refer to MailChimp’s data protection provisions at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.

Conclusion of a Data Processing Agreement

We have concluded a so-called “Data Processing Agreement” with MailChimp, in which we require MailChimp to protect our customers’ data and not disclose it to third parties.
