To what extent is personal data processed?</h2><h2>2.1 Collection of personal data when you visit our website</h2><h3>a) Log files</h3><p>If you visit our site for informational purposes but don’t register with us, create an account, order something, or otherwise deliberately transfer information to us, we collect information from your browser to help us serve our websites to you. In particular, we collect </p><ul><li>IP address,</li><li>date and time of the request,</li><li>time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT),</li><li>name of the requested file,</li><li>access status/HTTP status code,</li><li>volume of data transferred,</li><li>the page from which you came to visit us,</li><li>your operating system and its interface,</li><li>your browser type and the language and version of the browser software,</li><li>a report of successful retrieval</li></ul><p>The data is technically necessary for us to display our website to you. It is also evaluated to make the website user-friendly and to ensure stability and security. For this purpose, we partly use the external web hosting service providers Fastly, Inc. and Amazon Web Services, Inc. The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interests.</p><h3>b) Cookies and similar technologies</h3><p>We also use “cookies” on our sites. Cookies are small text files that are assigned to your browser and stored on your device. Through them, certain information flows to the place that sets the cookie, such as settings or data for exchange with the system. This helps us to make our website more user-friendly and effective overall. The legal bases for this are your consent and our legitimate interests. Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit viruses to your device. </p><p>We use session cookies, persistent cookies, and third-party cookies.</p><p><italic>Session cookies</italic> store what’s called a session ID, which can be used to assign different requests of your browser to a common session. This allows your device to be recognized when you return to our website. For example, this lets you store certain information you have entered (such as log-in information, language settings) in such a way that you do not have to repeat it constantly. Session cookies are automatically deleted when you log out or close your browser.</p><p><italic>Persistent cookies</italic> remain on your device for the time being, so that we can recognize your browser on your next visit and we can, for example, assign your preferred information and settings. Long-term cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie.</p><p>When you visit our website, our partner companies also store <italic>third-party cookies</italic> on your device. The cookies contain information about how our website is used, e.g. which pages and products were visited. The data is collected in a pseudonymized form by assigning an identification number, which is not combined with any other personal data you may have provided to us.</p><p>You can delete cookies in your browser settings at any time or prevent them from being stored, although the latter may result in a restriction of the functionality of our website for you. In the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy, we explain which technologies that are comparable to cookies are used on our website and how you can object to the use of cookies and other technologies with the individual third-party providers. <br><br></p><h2>2.2 Ordering from Spreadshirt / User Account</h2><p>a) If you want to order something in our online shop, it is necessary for the conclusion of the contract that you give us the personal data we need to process the order. The mandatory data required to process the contract is marked as such; all other data you provide is voluntary. You can either enter your data only once for the order or use your email address to set up a password-protected user account with us, in which your data can be stored for later purchases until you revoke your consent. You can deactivate or delete the data and the user account at any time via the account.</p><p>To prevent unauthorized access to your personal data by third parties, the order process is encrypted using TLS technology.</p><p>When we process the data provided by you to process your order, this includes, for example, individual customer service. In the course of order processing, we pass on personal data to one of our production companies within the group, to a shipping company commissioned by us and (with the exception of PayPal) to our bank, ADYEN B.V., Simon Carmiggeltstraat 6-50, 1011 DJ Amsterdam, Netherlands (“Adyen”). The payment data is encrypted and transmitted directly to Adyen.</p><p>Payment via PayPal is processed by PayPal, 2211 North First Street San Jose, California 95131 (“PayPal”). For information about data protection at PayPal, please refer to PayPal’s privacy policy: <a href='https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full' target='_blank'>https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full</a>.</p><p>In the case of trackable parcels, we also pass on your order and address data to parcelLab GmbH, Landwehrstraße 39, 80336 Munich, Germany, to make it possible to track your parcel and to inform you about delivery deviations or delays, for example. We also pass on your order and address data to various common carriers, depending on your delivery choices, shipping rates, and your chosen delivery destination.</p><p>The legal bases for the processing of personal data as part of order processing are to perform under a contract and our legitimate interests. Due to commercial and tax regulations, we are obliged to store your order, address and payment data for a period of ten years.</p><p>b) During the order process we also conduct a fraud prevention check via our bank Adyen, which involves using your IP address to carry out a geo-localization and compare your data with previous experience. This may mean that an order cannot be placed with the selected payment method. Our aim in this regard is to prevent any abuse of your chosen payment method by third parties and to protect ourselves from payment defaults. The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interests.</p><p>Since this involves automated decision-making, you have the right to challenge the decision (in this case the refusal of a certain payment method) and have the decision reviewed by a person. In such cases we ask that you contact us using the contact details mentioned in Section 1. Please note that the payment method may have been rejected due to a typing error and you should, therefore, check what you have entered again during the order process if necessary.</p><p>c) During the ordering process we use Google Maps Autocomplete, a service of Google LLC (“Google”). This allows an address you start typing to be completed automatically, avoiding delivery errors. Google sometimes conducts a geo-localization using your IP address and receives the information that you have retrieved the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data referred to in Section 2.1 is transmitted. This is regardless of whether you have a Google account and are logged in.

For the payout of earnings, it is necessary that you additionally provide your bank details or your PayPal information as well as information about your tax status. Any other information you may provide to us when using the account is voluntary. You do not have to enter a real name when choosing your username. You can manage and change this information in your account. You can also deactivate or erase it – or the entire user account. If this affects data necessary for the performance of the contract, we may retain that data for a longer period in accordance with commercial and tax regulations (standard period of ten years). We process this data to conduct the contractual relationship that exists with you; the legal bases are to perform under a contract and our legitimate interests. </p><p>b) Within the scope of the contractual relationship, we also process the email address provided by you in order to send you emails at irregular intervals containing information and tips about the Marketplace and your shops (“Partner Newsletter”). We use your name to allow us to personalize these emails. We may also personalize the information and tips we send to you in these emails based on (i) your inputs and other activity in your user area and/or (ii) depending on specific events during the partner relationship. For example, we may remind you to complete empty data fields, or if you have created a Partner account but not uploaded any designs, we may send you tips and resources for design creation. To this end, the data is passed on to the software company Emarsys eMarketing Systems AG, Hans-Fischer-Straße 10, 80339 Munich, Germany (“Emarsys”), which handles the technical side of the mailing on our behalf. You can unsubscribe from the Partner Newsletter at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link provided in each email, informing us via the contact details specified in Section 1, or changing your newsletter settings in your user account (“Account Settings” – “Newsletter subscriptions”).</p><p>When sending the Partner Newsletter, we use Emarsys to statistically evaluate your user behavior in order to optimize the design. To enable this evaluation, the emails contain what are called web beacons or tracking pixels. These are single-pixel image files that establish a connection to our website und thus permit a log file analysis. The web beacons are linked with the data mentioned in Section 2.1 a and an individual ID. The links contained in the email also contain this ID. For example, we can see if and when an email has been opened and which links have been clicked on. The data is stored on the Emarsys servers for 13 months and collected pseudonymously, meaning the IDs are not linked to other personal data at this point, thus ruling out any possibility of direct personal reference. You can object to the recording of your usage behavior at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link provided in each email, informing us via the contact options listed in Section 1, or changing the newsletter settings in your user account (“Account settings” – “Newsletter subscriptions”). Recording is not possible if you have disabled the display of images in your email settings. In this case, the newsletter will not be displayed to you in full and you may not be able to use all functions. If you choose to display the images manually, recording will take place as described above.</p><p>The legal bases for the processing are your consent, to perform under a contract, and our legitimate interests.</p><p>c) If you store your address in your user account, we use Google Maps Autocomplete, a service of Google LLC (“Google”). This allows an address you start typing to be completed automatically. This helps us verify your address, which we do for tax reasons. Google sometimes conducts a geo-localization using your IP address. We also use Google Fonts to enhance the user experience in the Partner section of your account as well as Google Calendar to inform you about Partner-related promotions for customers. Via these services and applications, Google receives the information that you have retrieved the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data referred to in Section 2.1 is transmitted. This is regardless of whether you have a Google account and are logged in. Once you are logged in to your Google Account, the information will be directly associated with your account.

In this case, they determine the purposes and means of processing personal data. The name and contact details of our partners are stored in the legal information section of the respective shop.</p><h2>2.6 Advertising activities by Spreadshirt</h2><h3>a) Newsletter</h3><p>If you register separately for our newsletter via our website and give us your consent, we will use your email address to send you regular emails about product offers, discounts and contests. To this end, we pass the data on to the software company Emarsys eMarketing Systems AG, Hans-Fischer-Straße 10, 80339 Munich, Germany (“Emarsys”), which handles the technical side of the mailing on our behalf.</p><p>When you register for our newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after you register we will send you an email to the email address you provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you would like to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration, your information will be automatically deleted after one month. On the other hand, if you confirm the newsletter subscription, we will save your email address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter until you unsubscribe from the newsletter.</p><p><strong>You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time (without this affecting the lawfulness of the processing up to the point of revocation). You can declare your revocation by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter email, by emailing <a href='mailto:info@spreadshirt.com' target='_blank'>info@spreadshirt.com</a> or by sending a message to the contact details provided in Section 1.</strong></p><p>When sending the newsletter, we use Emarsys to statistically evaluate your user behavior in order to measure how successful the newsletter is and to optimize its design.

The web beacons are linked with the data mentioned in Section 2.1 a and an individual ID. The links contained in the newsletter also contain this ID. For example, we can see if and when an email has been opened and which links have been clicked on. The data is stored on the Emarsys servers for 13 months and collected pseudonymously, meaning the IDs are not linked to other personal data at this point, thus ruling out any possibility of direct personal reference. You can object to the recording of your usage behavior at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link provided in each email or by informing us using the contact details provided in Section 1. Recording is not possible if you have disabled the display of images in your email settings.

If you choose to display the images manually, recording will take place as described above.</p><p>The legal bases for the processing are your consent and our legitimate interests.</p><h3>b) Product recommendations</h3><p>As a Spreadshirt customer, i.e., if you order something in our online shop (see Section 2.2 a), we process the email address you provide in order to send you regular email recommendations for products that might be of interest to you based on your previous orders from us. We also use your name to allow us to personalize these emails. The data is passed on to the software company Emarsys (see Section 2.6 a), which handles the technical side of the mailing on our behalf. The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interests. </p><p>You receive these product recommendations because you did not object to the use of your email address for this purpose by removing the corresponding check mark during the order process. If you subsequently no longer wish to receive product recommendations or any advertising messages, you can object at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs at the basic rates. Just click on the unsubscribe link included with each email, send a message using the contact details provided under Section 1 or – if you have a user account with us – adjust your newsletter settings accordingly (“Account settings” - “Newsletter subscriptions”).</p><p>When sending the product recommendations, we use Emarsys to statistically evaluate your user behavior in order to measure their success and to optimize their design.

You may object to the use of your personal information for this purposes anytime by notifying us at the contact information provided in Section 1.</p><h2>2.7 Usage-based online advertising</h2><p>Our website uses various conversion tracking and retargeting technologies made available by other service providers. We use these technologies to make our website interesting for you. The information also helps us to address users who have already shown an interest in our products with individually tailored advertising on the websites of our partner companies. We assume that the display of personalized, interest-based advertising is generally more interesting for the internet user than advertising that has no such personal relevance. At the same time, we want to avoid inappropriate and intrusive advertising.</p><p>General information about third-party advertising-based technologies and how to disable them can be found on the following websites, among others:</p><ul><li>Your Online Choices: <a href='http://www.youronlinechoices.com/' target='_blank'>http://www.youronlinechoices.com/</a></li><li>YourAdChoices: <a href='http://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2#!/' target='_blank'>http://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2#!/</a></li><li>Network Advertising Initiative: <a href='http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!/' target='_blank'>http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!/</a></li></ul><h3>a) Use of Google Ads conversion tracking and Google Ads remarketing</h3><p>We use Google Ads, a service of Google LLC (“Google”), to draw attention to our offers on external websites. The data from advertising campaigns allows us to identify the success of individual advertising activities. This way, we want to show you advertising that interests you, make our website more attractive to you and calculate advertising costs fairly.</p><p>Google deploys these ads via ‘ad servers’. For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, which enable tracking specific parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users. If you arrive at our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your device. These cookies usually expire after 90 days and are not intended to identify you personally. Analysis values usually stored for this cookie are the unique cookie ID, the number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), the last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), and opt-out information (marker showing that the user no longer wishes to be targeted).</p><p>These cookies allow Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of a Google Ads customer’s website (in this case, ours) and the cookie stored on their device has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this site. Each Google Ads customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies cannot, therefore, be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. We do not collect or process any personal data in the advertising activities described above. Google merely provides us with statistical evaluations. Based on these evaluations we can identify which advertising activities are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of ads; in particular, we cannot identify users based on this information.</p><p>Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the extent and further processing of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and, therefore, inform you according to what we know: By integrating Google Ads Conversion, Google receives the information that you have retrieved the corresponding part of our website, or that you have clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that Google will obtain and store your IP address.</p><p>We use Google Enhanced Conversions on our website to improve the analysis of users' online actions. To use Google Ads Enhanced Conversions, encrypted user data (here: the user's email address) is shared with Google. When a user performs a specific action on our website, e.g., makes a purchase, the user data is collected, encrypted, and sent to Google as encrypted data and then used to improve conversion measurement. Google then compares whether the transmitted user data matches existing Google customers. This information is used to assign users to the corresponding Google accounts in which the users were logged in when they interacted with one of our adverts.</p><p><italic>- Google Ads remarketing</italic></p><p>Besides Google Ads Conversion, we also use Google’s remarketing feature. This is a process we use in an attempt to contact you again. After visiting our website, this feature makes it possible to show you our ads when you continue to use the internet. This is done by means of cookies stored in your browser, which Google uses to record and evaluate your usage behavior when visiting various websites. This is how Google can determine that you have previously visited our website. According to its own information, Google does not combine the data collected in the context of remarketing with your personal data, which may be processed by Google. Specifically, according to Google, pseudonymization is used during remarketing.</p><p>There are various ways in which you can prevent your participation in this tracking procedure:</p><ul><li>By setting your browser software accordingly; in particular, disabling cookies from third party providers means that you will not receive any ads from third-party providers;</li><li>By permanent deactivation in your browser Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome via the link: <a href='https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996?hl=en' target='_blank'>https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996?hl=en</a>.

(“Meta”). This allows users of the website to see interest-based ads (“Meta Ads”) when visiting the social network Facebook or other websites (e.g., Instagram) that also use the process. Our intention here is to show you ads that are of interest to you.</p><p>Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Facebook server. We have no influence on the extent and further processing of the data collected by Meta through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to what we know: By integrating Custom Audiences, Meta receives the information that you have retrieved the corresponding part of our website, or that you have clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Meta can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, it is possible that Meta will obtain and store your IP address and other identifying information.</p><p><italic>- Website Custom Audiences</italic></p><p>Our website also uses the Meta product “Custom Audiences from your website”. For this purpose, we have integrated remarketing tags (so-called Meta Pixel or web beacon) into our website. The Meta Pixel is a small piece of JavaScript code that provides a range of functionalities for sending application-specific events and user-defined data to Meta. We use the Meta Pixel to track how visitors use our site. The Meta Pixel records and reports to Meta information about the user’s browser session, a hashed version of the Facebook ID, and the URL being viewed. Every Facebook user therefore has a device-independent Facebook ID, which enables us to recognize users across multiple devices on the social network Facebook so that we can use Meta Ads to reach our visitors again for advertising purposes. After 180 days, the user information is deleted until the user returns to our website. No personal information is transmitted to us about individual website visitors, and we can only specifically deploy ads to website custom audiences if the custom audience has reached a critical size. This makes it impossible for us to determine the individual identities of visitors.</p><p><italic>- Conversion Tracking</italic></p><p>We also use the Meta Pixel on our website to measure the reach of ads. This allows us to track users’ actions after seeing or clicking on a Meta Ad. The Meta Pixel records and reports to Meta information about the user’s browser session, a hashed version of the Facebook ID, and the URL being viewed. The way it works is comparable to Website Custom Audiences via the Meta Pixel, described above. Using the hashed Facebook ID, we can measure the reach and effectiveness of an ad to find out whether you are actually interested in our advertising. This enables us to measure the effectiveness of Meta Ads for statistical and market research purposes. For us, the data used is not personally identifiable.</p><p>We use Meta Advanced Matching on our website to improve the analysis of users' online actions. To use Meta Advanced Matching, encrypted user data (here: the user's email address) is shared with Meta. When a user performs a specific action on our website, e.g. makes a purchase, the user data is collected, encrypted, and sent to Meta as encrypted data, which is then used to improve conversion measurement. Meta then compares whether the transmitted user data matches existing Meta customers. This information is used to assign users to the corresponding Meta accounts in which the users were logged in when they interacted with one of our adverts.</p><p>You can prevent Meta from recording your data on this website by clicking here: <span data-optinout='facebookOptOut' class='btn_optOutIn'><span>Disable</span><span class='hidden'>Enable</span> Meta Custom Audiences, Website Custom Audiences and Conversion Tracking</span>. This will place an opt-out cookie which prevents recording when you visit our website in future.

Our intention here is to develop and display advertising that is of interest to you and make our website more attractive. For this purpose, Reddit conversion tracking is integrated into our website. This technology enables Reddit to collect pseudonymous data about your visit and the use of our website (e.g. about the browser session and product(s) ordered) and to provide us with aggregated, non-personal statistics on this basis (e.g. how many visitors have reached a particular target page). This allows us to trace the actions that have taken place after an ad has been viewed or clicked on on reddit.com.</p><p>- Reddit retargeting</p><p>Our website also uses Reddit retargeting. After visiting our website, this feature allows us to show you our ads when you continue to use the internet. Our intention here is to show you ads that are of interest to you.

Processing of personal data when using our mobile partner app</h2><p>If you are a partner of ours, we will provide you with a mobile app (hereinafter referred to as "SpreadApp") in addition to our online service that you can use to get an overview of your partner statistics (credits, sales and bestsellers) at any time.</p><h3>a) Processing of personal data when using our SpreadApp</h3><p>- Log-in</p><p>In order to connect your mobile device to your Spreadshirt user account via the SpreadApp, it is either necessary for you to use your smartphone camera to scan the QR code displayed or to enter your Spreadshirt user name or e-mail address and password in the input screen provided. The legal basis for processing the data is to perform under a contract.</p><p>- App permissions and notifications</p><p>If you allow this on your mobile device, SpreadApp has the authorization to access your camera. This enables you to connect your mobile device to your user account by scanning a QR code. If you allow this on your mobile device, you will also receive notifications from SpreadApp (e.g. about new sales). You can manage these types of access at any time on your mobile device in the system settings. SpreadApp can also be used without the functions. The legal basis for the processing is your consent.</p><p>- Display of information from the Spreadshirt user account</p><p>The SpreadApp reads out and displays the following information from your user account: Your username, the user account number, your credit balance, an overview of your sales and your bestselling products and designs. This is necessary for the implementation of the amended contract that exists with you as our partner. The legal basis for the processing is to perform under a contract.</p><p>- Log files</p><p>When using the SpreadApp, we also process personal data mentioned below. These are technically necessary for us to enable you to use the functions of the app comfortably and to guarantee stability and security (legal bases are to perform under a contract and our legitimate interests):</p><ul><li>IP address,</li><li>date and time of the request,</li><li>content of the request (concrete page),</li><li>page from which the request comes,</li><li>access status/HTTP status code,</li><li>the amount of data transferred in each case,</li><li>browser,</li><li>language and version of the browser software,</li><li>operating system and its interface,</li><li>device identification,</li><li>type and name of your mobile device,</li><li>screen size and resolution,</li><li>country and city,</li><li>version of the app,</li><li>number of your Spreadshirt user account.</li></ul><h3>b) Processing of Personal Information for Application Analysis</h3><p>In addition to processing the aforementioned data, a technology comparable to cookies is used for your use of SpreadApp. By the use of JavaScript code, counting impulses are transmitted to counting servers of the service providers listed below. This information enables us to analyze how you use our SpreadApp. You can prevent this usage information from being collected by deactivating the "I'm in" button when you install the SpreadApp or by deactivating the "App analysis" button in the "Settings" section of your SpreadApp later on.</p><p>- Google Analytics</p><p>The SpreadApp uses Google Analytics, an analysis service of Google LLC ("Google"). The information generated by the JavaScript code about your usage is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there for 26 months. Due to the activation of IP anonymization in the SpreadApp, your IP address will be shortened by Google. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate how you use the SpreadApp in order to compile reports on app activity and to provide us with other services relating to the app use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. SpreadApp uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". This means that IP addresses are shortened for further processing, so that it is not possible to identify individuals. If the data collected about you is related to your person, it is excluded immediately, and the personal data is deleted immediately. We use Google Analytics to analyze and improve the use of SpreadApp on a regular basis. The statistics obtained enable us to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is our legitimate interests.</p><p> Third-party information: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

The legal basis for the use of Adobe Analytics is our legitimate interests. Our website uses Adobe Analytics with the settings “Before Geo-Lookup: Replace visitor’s last IP octet with 0” and “Obfuscate IP-Removed”, which removes the last octet from your IP address and replaces it with a generic IP address, i.e. one that can no longer be assigned. Any personal connection can therefore be ruled out. The usage information is stored for 25 months.</p><p>Third-party information: Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited, 4–6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Ireland; privacy@adobe.com; Adobe’s privacy policy: <a href='https://www.adobe.com/privacy/policy.html' target='_blank'>https://www.adobe.com/privacy/policy.html</a>.</p><p>- Sentry</p><p>SpreadApp also uses the "Sentry" service of the provider Functional Software, Inc. The service detects and documents errors and performance problems that may occur during your use of SpreadApp. We use the service to improve the technical stability of SpreadApp by monitoring system stability and detecting code errors.

What are my rights?</h2><p>If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can revoke this consent with future effect at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of the consent before you revoke your consent.</p><p>If we base the processing of your personal data on our legitimate interests, you are entitled to object to the processing. This is the case if the processing is not necessary in particular for the performance of a contract with you, which was described by us in each case with the description of the individual functions. When exercising such a right of objection, we ask that you explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as carried out by us. In the event that your objection is justified, we will examine the situation and either stop or adjust the data processing or point out to you the compelling legitimate reasons on the basis of which we will continue processing.</p><p>However, you can of course object to the processing of your personal data for advertising or web analytics purposes at any time without giving reasons.</p><p>As described in the relevant sections, we sometimes use external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions and are regularly checked.</p><p>The personal data processed by us is generally erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Data may be stored for a longer period if this has been provided for by laws or other rules to which we as the controller are subject. The data will also be blocked or erased once a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.</p><p>Further processing operations may be required for contests and other promotional campaigns. In such cases we will inform you in the context of the respective promotional campaign.</p><h2>4. We Will Share Your Information with Third Parties in Specific Circumstances</h2><h3>a) Legal Compliance and Safety</h3><p>We will share your information with third parties in specific circumstances. If we sell all or part of our business, or make a sale or transfer of assets, or are otherwise involved in a similar event, we may transfer your information as part of that transaction. In addition, there are a few times when we must share your information either to protect our rights, to further our legitimate interests, or to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject. We will share your personal information when we believe in good faith that:</p><ul><li>a subpoena or warrant is duly issued, or we receive any other legitimate government agency request to produce information;</li><li>we need to share the information in order to enforce or protect our own rights, for example, to respond to and resolve third-party claims or complaints, or with respect to contracts with our users and third parties;</li><li>we need to address a security or technical issue within our website;</li><li>sharing the information is necessary to prevent harm to others or others’ property, especially in an emergency situation;</li></ul><h3>b) Corporate Change in Control Events</h3><p>If we sell all or part of our business, or make a sale or transfer of assets, or are otherwise involved in a similar event, we may transfer your information as part of that transaction.</p><h2>5. Is My Information Secure?</h2><p>We use reasonable measures to secure our website and any private information you submit to us against loss, tampering, unauthorized access, and other malicious acts. For example, we use SSL connections when possible to protect your data while it is in transit (for example login data and customer orders). However, no data transmission over the Internet is completely secure, so we cannot completely guarantee the security of any data. You use our services at your own risk, and are responsible for taking reasonable measures to secure your password, information, and account.</p><h2>6.
