The processing of your personal data is divided into two categories:

1. We process all data necessary for the purposes of contract execution and advertising, such as sending out newsletters and promotional mail. External service providers involved in the execution of the contract, such as logistics companies and payment service providers, will be provided with your data to the extent necessary in order to perform their respective services.

2. When you access our website, a variety of information is automatically shared between your device and our server. This may include personal data. We use this information for purposes such as optimising our website and displaying advertising on your device’s browser.

In this section, you can learn more about the purposes for which we process your personal data, the legal basis for this processing, the legitimate interests pursued by us and third parties, and the categories of recipients.

Collecting and using data for contract execution and when opening a customer account.
If you voluntarily provide us with personal data as part of your order, when contacting us as a customer (e.g. using our contact form or by email) or when opening a customer account, we will process this data for the purposes of executing contracts and opening a customer account. The data collected is shown in each input form. This primarily includes the following data:

  • First name, Last name
  • Billing and delivery address
  • Email address
  • Billing and payment details
  • Telephone number, where necessary
  • Date of birth, where necessary

The legal basis for our processing of your personal data for contract execution purposes is provided by Article 6, Paragraph 1(b) of the GDPR.In order to enable us to use your email address, we will send you a confirmation email on the basis of Article 6, Paragraph 1(c) of the GDPR.Providing we do not use your contact details for advertising purposes, we are permitted to store the data collected for the execution of the contract until such time as the statutory or any contractual warranty or guarantee rights expire. Upon the expiry of this period, we shall retain the contractual information required under commercial and tax law for the periods stipulated by law. During this period (usually ten (10) years following the conclusion of the contract), said data will only be reprocessed in the event of an audit by the financial authorities.

All customer accounts are created on a voluntary basis and subject to your consent pursuant to Article 6, Paragraph 1(a) of the GDPR.You may view and amend the data that we have stored on you in your customer account at any time.

The following additional data processing is required in order to execute the purchase contract:

Disclosure of data for contract fulfilment, determining identity and creditworthiness
If necessary in order to fulfil the contract and deliver the goods you have ordered, we will send your email address and, where applicable, your telephone number to the logistics company that we have contracted for this work.In order to process payments, we will provide the payment details necessary for this process to the bank instructed for the payment and, where applicable, payment service providers we have contracted and/or any payment service that you have selected during the order process.Where necessary, we will verify your identity on the legal basis of Article 6, Paragraph 1(b) and (f) of the GDPR by obtaining additional information from service providers.We are entitled to do this in order to protect your identity and avoid attempted fraud at our expense. The circumstances and results of our request shall be added to your customer account or guest account and stored there for the duration of the contractual relationship.

Credit check and scoring
Where we provide goods and services in advance, e.g. in the event of purchases made on account, we reserve the right to safeguard our legitimate interests by obtaining information regarding your identity and creditworthiness from service providers who specialise in such services (credit agencies). For this purpose, we will send the personal data relating to you that is necessary for a credit check to the following company or companies:

Creditreform Boniversum GmbH
Hellersbergstraße 11
41460 Neuss, Germany

Creditsafe Deutschland GmbH
Schreiberhauer Straße 30
10317 Berlin, Germany

The information on your creditworthiness may contain probability (score) values, which are calculated on the basis of scientifically accepted statistical mathematical methods. The data used in the calculation process for these scores includes address data.We use the information obtained on the statistical likelihood of a failure to pay to make a carefully weighed decision as to the justification, execution or termination of the contractual relationship.Your legitimate interests are taken into account in accordance with the statutory provisions.

The legal basis for the transmission of this information is provided by Article 6, Paragraph 1(b) and Article 6, Paragraph 1(f) of the GDPR.Information may only be transmitted on the basis of these provisions if and insofar as this is necessary in order to protect the legitimate interests of our company or third parties, and where said legitimate interests are not outweighed by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subjects who require the protection of their personal data.

Data processing for advertising purposes
Pursuant to Article 6, Paragraph 1(f) of the GDPR, the processing of data for advertising purposes constitutes a legitimate interest on the part of the controller.The duration for which personal data is stored for advertising purposes is determined based on the principle of whether said storage is necessary for promotional contact. We follow the principle of erasing data no more than two (2) years after it has ceased to be necessary for advertising purposes.

Internal advertising purposes and third-party advertising purposes
If and insofar as you have concluded a contract with us or have asked us to send you promotional material, we shall treat you as an existing or potential customer. In such cases, we shall process your postal contact details in order to provide you with information on new products and services using this method of communication. Within the scope of our legitimate interests, we reserve the right to send your postal contact details to contractual partners that we have carefully selected in the shipping and telecommunications sectors and to providers of similar products so that they can also provide you with information about their products.

Interest-based advertising
To ensure that you only receive advertising information that can be assumed to be in your interest, we categorise your customer profile and supplement it with additional information. In order to do this, we use both statistical and personal information (e.g. the basic data on your customer profile). The aim of this is to provide you with advertising material that is solely based on your actual or assumed interests, and ensure that you are not inconvenienced by advertising that is not useful to you.

Right to object
You have the right to object to your data being processed for the purposes mentioned above at any time free of charge, and may do so for specific methods of communication with future effect. An email or letter sent by post to the contact details specified under Section 2 shall be deemed sufficient for this purpose.

If and insofar as you lodge an objection, the contact address in question shall be blocked for any further processing for advertising purposes.We would like to point out that, in exceptional cases, you may still receive advertising material on a temporary basis even after your objection has been received.This is due to technical reasons involving the lead time necessary for advertising material, and does not mean that we are not complying with your objection.

Use of data when subscribing to the email newsletter
If you subscribe to our newsletter using the double opt-in procedure, we will use the data necessary for this purpose or the data that you provide separately to regularly send you our email newsletter. We will send you a confirmation link for the double opt-in procedure once you have entered your email address in the subscription field. If you click on the confirmation link, your email will be included in our email distribution list.Your email address will be processed subject to your consent pursuant to Article 6, Paragraph 1(a) of the GDPR. Your data will first be processed by DENIOS Direct GmbH, who act as a data processor for us, for the purpose of sending you the newsletter, then made available to Mobil-Mark GmbH for internal analysis purposes.You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect.You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, either by sending a message to the contact details specified in the legal notice or by clicking on the link provided for this purpose at the end of each newsletter. Mobil-Mark GmbH will evaluate the information that you have unsubscribed from the newsletter for internal analysis purposes. The performance of these analyses also constitutes a legitimate interest on our part. As such, the legal basis for this processing is provided by Article 6, Paragraph 1(f) of the GDPR. The data in question will be deleted after six (6) months.

Use of data for email advertising without a newsletter subscription and your right to object
If we receive your email address in connection with the sale of a product or service and you have not objected to the use of your email address, we reserve the right, within the scope of our legitimate interests, to regularly send you offers via email regarding products from our range that are similar to those you have already purchased. In such cases, your email address shall be processed pursuant to Article 6, Paragraph 1(f) of the GDPR. You may object to the use of your email for this purpose at any time, either by sending a message to the contact details specified in the legal notice or by clicking on the link provided for this purpose at the end of the newsletter.
