2. Collection, processing and use of personal data

2.1 Personal data

At Photocase we offer personalized rights of use (licenses) for photos. In order to transfer these rights of use to you, we require some of your personal data.

In addition, we would like to offer you personalized customer service and individual offers that are always tailored to your needs. For this purpose we collect personal data, communication data, contract data, licensing data, website behavior and advertising-related data. In doing so, we always comply with the storage and deletion periods prescribed by law.

Statistical data that we collect when you visit our web shop and that cannot be directly associated with you, do not fall under this law. These are for example statistics about which pages of our shop are particularly popular or how many users visit certain pages of the Photocase Shop.

2.2 Purpose and lawfulness of the data processing

The data processing is carried out according to the principles according to Art. 5 GDPR and the legality is always based on the conditions required by the legislator according to Art. 6 (1) GDPR.

We offer our customers personalized rights of use (licenses) for photos as well as an individual buying experience. To give you this, it is important to understand and analyze your personal needs. This also includes your customer history in the online shop, in e-mail traffic, on the phone or via a live chat. In particular, observation of customer interaction with Photocase products helps us to make your purchase as easy as possible. In addition, we conclude a purchase agreement with you during the ordering process. Both can only be achieved by collecting and processing your data, which we also need to fulfill our legal obligations. Basically, we stand for data minimization and process only data that is necessary for the purposes mentioned above. This data processing is transparent to you at all times. If the data processing goes beyond the above-mentioned purposes, we will ask for your consent in advance.

2.3 Collection, processing and use of your personal data

Privacy is very important to us. Therefore, we strictly adhere to the legal provisions of the EU Data Protection Directive and the German Telemedia Act when collecting, processing and using your personal data. We collect, store and process your data in order to process your purchase, including any subsequent warranties, for our services, the technical administration and our own marketing purposes. Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties or otherwise transmitted if this is necessary for the purpose of contract execution or billing or if you have previously consented to it’s transfer.

2.3.1 Data transfer for fulfillment of the contract

In order to fulfill the sales contract and process payments, we will pass on the necessary payment data to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and any payment service providers commissioned by us or to the payment service selected by you in the ordering process. Any consent given for the storage of your data during order processing can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

For your order we need your correct name, address and payment details. We need your e-mail address so that we can confirm the order and communicate with you. We also use these for your identification (customer login). You will also receive your order confirmation and invoice via your e-mail address.

A deletion of your personal data takes place, as long as this does not conflict with statutory retention requirements and if you have asserted a cancellation claim, if the data is no longer required to fulfill the purpose of the storage or if their storage is inadmissible for other legal reasons.

2.4 Use of your data for advertising purposes

In addition to processing your data to process your purchase at Photocase, we also use your information to communicate with you about your orders, specific products or marketing promotions, and to recommend products or services that may interest you. If we receive your e-mail address in connection with the sale of a good or service and you have not objected to this, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar products, such as those already purchased, from our range by e-mail , You may object to the use of your personal data for advertising purposes at all times or for individual measures without incurring other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. A short written message (e-mail, letter, etc.)  to the contact details referred to in point 1 is sufficient.

2.4.1 Use of data when registering for the e-mail newsletter

Our newsletter is a so-called “opt-in newsletter,” which means that we will only send you a newsletter by e-mail if you have explicitly confirmed to us that you want to receive it. In addition you can indicate your preference with a check mark during the registration or administration of your customer account. Should you later no longer wish to receive newsletters from us, you can cancel at any time, without any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. A written message (e-mail, letter, etc.) to the contact details referred to in point 1 is sufficient. Of course every newsletter contains an unsubscribe link.

2.4.2 Use of data for product recommendations by e-mail and your right to object

As a customer of Photocase you receive regular product recommendations from us by mail. You will receive these product recommendations from us, regardless of whether you have subscribed to a newsletter, if we have received your e-mail address in connection with the sale of a good or service and you have not explicitly objected to receiving them. We want to send you information about products from our offer in this way.

If you do not want to receive any product recommendations or a total of no more promotional messages from us, you can object to this at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. A written message (e-mail, letter, etc.)  to the contact details referred to in point 1 is sufficient. Of course, every e-mail contains an unsubscribe link.

2.4.3 Individual advertising for you

Information that we receive from you helps us to constantly improve your shopping experience and to make it customer-friendly and individual. The information you provide and automatically generate is used to design advertising tailored to you and your interests. We use existing information, such as email receipt and read receipt, computer and Internet connection information, operating system and platform, your order history, service history, date and time you visited the website, and products you viewed.

We use this information exclusively in a pseudonymised form. By analyzing and evaluating this information, we are able to improve our website, as well as to send you individual advertising. That means advertising that recommends products that might be of interest to you. Our goal is to make our advertising more useful and interesting to you. Therefore, the evaluation and analysis of the pseudonymized data that we have collected, helps us not to randomly send you advertisements. Rather, we send you advertising, such as newsletters, product recommendations, by e-mail or advertising by mail, which correspond to your areas of interest. In this respect, for example, we also compare which of our advertising emails you open to avoid unnecessary emails being sent to you.

If you do not want to receive personalized advertising, you can opt out at any time. A written message (e-mail, letter, etc.) to the contact details referred to in point 1 is sufficient.

2.4.4 Market and opinion research

We use your data for market and opinion research. This data is anonymized and is for statistical purposes only, and only used for Photocase. Your responses to surveys will not be shared or published to third parties. We do not store the answers from our surveys together with your e-mail address or other personal information. The use of data for market research and opinion polling can be denied at any time wholly or for certain measures, without incurring any fees other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. A written message (e-mail, letter, etc.) to the contact details referred to in point 1 is sufficient. Of course, you will also find an unsubscribe link in every survey e-mail.

2.4.5 Use of data for postal advertising and your right of objection

In addition, we reserve the right to include your first and last name, mailing address and, as far as we have received from you, to save additional information relating to the contractual relationship, your title, academic degree, year of birth and your professional, branch or business name in lists and use for promotional purposes, for example to send interesting offers and information about our products by post.
