5.3 FACEBOOK AUDIENCE PIXEL

We also use the Facebook Audience Pixel analysis tool from Facebook Ireland Limited or Facebook Inc. to measure the effectiveness of our advertising. The pixel collects information about website and mobile app usage, such as when the website or app are used and whether goods are placed in the shopping basket, and transmits this information to Facebook’s servers in Ireland and the United States. This information may also be cross-checked with other Facebook information or our information that we have about you. All data collected by this pixel is encrypted by Facebook using “hashes”. Facebook Ireland Limited is located in the European Union; Facebook Inc. is located in the United States and has a Privacy Shield Certificate which ensures the protection of your data.

The collection of data by Facebook Pixel only takes place with your consent. This consent can be withdrawn by you at any time. The comparison of the data with the data stored by us is based on our legitimate interest in marketing and customer loyalty.

5.4 SNAPCHAT PIXEL

Our website uses the "Snapchat Pixel" provided by Snap Inc, 63 Market Street, Venice, CA 90291, USA ("Snapchat"). This service allows us to track users' behaviour after they have seen or clicked on a Snapchat ad and have been redirected to our site. This process is used to evaluate the effectiveness of Snapchat ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help us to optimise our advertising efforts. The IP address, pixel ID or web page domain may also be transmitted to Snapchat to enable optimised measurement of the advertising campaigns. This data is stored and processed by Snapchat so enabling a connection to the respective user profile and allowing Snapchat to use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Snapchat's Privacy Policy. Whenever Snapchat transfers data of EU users outside the EU, Snapchat makes sure an adequate transfer mechanism is in place.


5.5 TIKTOK PIXEL

We use the "TikTok pixel" on this website which is provided by TikTok (for EU: TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited, Aviation House, 125 Kingsway Holborn, London, WC2B 6NH.). We have implemented this code on our website. The code establishes a connection with the TikTok servers when users visit our website in order to track the behaviour of users on our website. This process is used to evaluate the effectiveness of Tiktok advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and may help us to optimise our advertising efforts.

Personal data such as the IP address, as well as other information such as device ID, device type and operating system may also be transferred to TikTok to enable optimised targeting of advertising campaigns. TikTok processes this data to identify users of our website and associate their actions with a TikTok user account. TikTok processes this data to display targeted and personalised advertising to its users.

TikTok’s Privacy Policy can be accessed here. Where TikTok transfers personal data to countries outside the EEA, TikTok does so under the European Commission’s model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries (i.e. standard contractual clauses) pursuant to Commission Decision 2004/915/EC or 2010/87/EU (as appropriate) or in line with any replacement mechanism approved under EU law.

5.6 PINTERST TAG

Our website uses the conversion tracking technology of the social network Pinterest (Pinterest Europe Ltd., Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland), which enables us to display relevant advertisements and offers on Pinterest to our website visitors who have already taken an interest in our website and our content/offers and are Pinterest members. For this purpose, a so-called conversion tracking pixel from Pinterest is integrated on our pages, via which Pinterest is informed when a user visits our website that they have called up our website and in which parts of our offer they are interested.

This procedure is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Pinterest ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help to optimise our advertising measures. Personal data such as the IP address, as well as other information such as the device ID, device type and operating system may also be transferred to Pinterest in order to enable optimised measurement of the advertising campaigns. Because Pinterest is a worldwide service, Pinterest may transfer the personal data of EEA residents to a country outside the EEA. When Pinterest transfers information from the EEA to a country that doesn't provide an adequate level of protection, Pinterest will only do so under appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses. Pinterest’s Privacy Policy can be accessed here.


5.7 LINKEDIN INSIGHT TAG

Our website makes use of function "LinkedIn Insight Tag" of the LinkedIn network. The provider is the LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Each time one of our pages containing LinkedIn functions is accessed, a connection to LinkedIn servers is established. LinkedIn receives the information (containing your IP-address) that you have visited our web pages. If you click the LinkedIn "Recommend button" and are logged into your account at LinkedIn, LinkedIn will be able to assign the information that you have visited our website to your user account. As the provider of this website, we would like to point out that we have no information on what data is transmitted or how this transmitted data is used by LinkedIn. By using LinkedIn Insight Tag, we can analyze the success of our campaigns on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement.

For years LinkedIn has relied on overlapping protections under both Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and the Privacy Shield legal frameworks for data transfers. While the ruling by the European Court of Justice of the July 16, 2020 invalidated the use of Privacy Shield, SCCs remain in place and LinkedIn continues to transfer data from the EU, EEA and Switzerland using SCCs. LinkedIn is also monitoring ongoing negotiations between the U.S. Department of Commerce and EU Commission regarding a Privacy Shield replacement. Despite its invalidation as a transfer mechanism, LinkedIn has elected to maintain its Privacy Shield certification from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
