PRIVACY POLICY

INFORMATION REGARDING THE COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA AND CONTACT DETAILS OF THE CONTROLLER

We are pleased that you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest. In the following, we will inform you about how your personal data is handled when you use our website. Personal data is any data with which you can be personally identified.

The data processing on this website in the sense of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is carried out by:

Smilodox GmbH & Co. KG
Max-Brauer-Allee 48
22765 Hamburg

Telephone: 040 88167933

Email: info@smilodox.com

GENERAL INFORMATION

DATA COLLECTION WHEN VISITING OUR WEBSITE

When you use our website for informational purposes only, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called "server log files"). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

  • Our visited website
  • Date and time of access
  • Amount of data sent in bytes
  • Source/reference from which you reached the page
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used
  • IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be passed on or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to retrospectively check the server log files if there are concrete indications of illegal use.

HOW LONG DO WE STORE YOUR DATA?

In some parts of this privacy policy, we inform you how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf store your data. If no such information is provided, we store your data until the purpose of the data processing ceases, you object to the data processing, or you withdraw your consent to the data processing.

In the event of an objection or withdrawal, we may, however, continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions is met:

We have compelling legitimate grounds for continuing the data processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms (only in the case of an objection to data processing; if the objection is to direct marketing, we cannot provide legitimate grounds).

The data processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (does not apply if your objection is directed against direct marketing).

We are legally obliged to retain your data. In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the condition(s) no longer apply.

SSL OR TLS ENCRYPTION

When you enter your data on websites, place online orders, or send emails via the Internet, you must always expect that unauthorized third parties may access your data. There is no complete protection against such access. However, we do everything in our power to protect your data as best as possible and to close security gaps as far as we can.

An important protective mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize the encryption by the lock icon in front of the entered internet address in your browser and by the fact that our internet address begins with https:// and not with http://.

DATA PROCESSING IN THE MOBILE APP

If you use our Smilodox app (iOS/Android), the following app-specific information applies in addition to the above explanations. The controller is the same as above (Smilodox GmbH & Co. KG). The app is used for shopping, account management, wish lists, and push notifications.

What data do we collect in the app?

Identifiers: Customer ID (upon registration), device/session IDs (e.g., for analytics and
crash reports).
Contact details: Name, email address, phone number, physical address (when using address
management in the app).
Usage data: App events (e.g., product views, shopping cart, checkout, wish list) and search
queries in the app – only with consent to usage analysis.
Purchase history: Purchase/checkout events for analytical purposes – only with consent to usage
analysis.
Location (approximate): approximate location derived from IP/GeoIP (e.g., country/city) for
analytics/diagnostics.
Diagnostic data: Crash and error reports (device/operating system, technical logs) for app
stability; essential and active by default (no opt-out in the app).
Push token: Device token for push notifications (Expo/Klaviyo), if you have granted appropriate
permissions.

Purposes and legal bases

Contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR): Account, shopping cart, checkout, order processing
(Shopify).
Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR): Usage analysis (PostHog, incl.
search/product/checkout events) and marketing/push (Klaviyo). You can withdraw consent for
usage analysis and marketing at any time in the app under Account → Privacy & Security and
Notifications.
Legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR): Security and fraud prevention, insofar as not
already covered by contract or consent.
Tracking/Marketing: We do not track you across other apps or websites for advertising
purposes. We only send marketing push notifications with your consent.

Recipients / Processors (App)

PostHog (usage analysis; consent): Events only if analysis consent is activated; upon registration,
possibly linked to email/customer ID (disclosed).
Sentry (crash/error reports; essential): Active by default; device/OS, no content.
Shopify: Account, shopping cart, checkout (contract).
Klaviyo: Push marketing (consent); device token and preferences.
Firebase (backend for push registration): Technical forwarding of push tokens to
Klaviyo; order processing.

Transfers to third countries

As with our website, data may also be transmitted in the app to providers in the USA (e.g.,
PostHog, Sentry, Klaviyo, Firebase/Google). Where we use processors, we use Standard
Contractual Clauses (SCC) and supplementary measures, as far as offered by the provider. For
details on the respective providers, please refer to their privacy policies.

Storage duration and deletion (App)

We store app data only as long as necessary for the purposes mentioned above or as required by
legal obligations. You can request the deletion of your data via Account → Delete account in the
app or by email to support@smilodox.com.

Your rights (App)

The rights mentioned under "YOUR RIGHTS" (access, rectification, erasure,
restriction, objection, withdrawal of consent, complaint to the supervisory authority) also apply
to data processed in the app. You can adjust or withdraw your consents directly in the app under
Account → Privacy & Security and Notifications. The deletion of your account and associated
data is possible via Account → Delete account in the app or by email to
support@smilodox.com.

ENCRYPTED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS

Payment data, such as account or credit card numbers, are particularly sensitive. Therefore, payment transactions with common payment methods on our site are exclusively carried out via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection.

DATA TRANSFER TO THE USA

We also use tools on our website from companies that transfer and store your data in the USA and may further process it there. This is particularly important for you because your data in the USA does not enjoy the same protection as within the EU, where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It is therefore possible that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) process, evaluate, and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

YOUR RIGHTS

Objection to data processing

IF YOU READ IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS FOR PROCESSING YOUR DATA AND THEREFORE BASE THIS ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 S. 1 LIT. F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT THERETO PURSUANT TO ART. 21 GDPR. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED PROVISION. THE PREREQUISITE IS THAT YOU STATE REASONS FOR THE OBJECTION THAT ARISE FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. A JUSTIFICATION IS NOT REQUIRED IF THE OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING.

THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE OBJECTION IS THAT WE MAY NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS ONLY DOES NOT APPLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS IS MET:

WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.

THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.

THE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST DIRECT MARKETING OR AGAINST PROFILING CONNECTED THERETO.

Further rights

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are based on your consent. You give this, for example, by checking a corresponding box in online forms before sending the form, or by allowing certain cookies when you visit our website. You can withdraw your consent at any time without giving reasons (Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR). From the time of withdrawal, we may no longer process your data. The only exception: We are legally obliged to store the data for a certain period of time. Such retention periods exist in particular in tax and commercial law.

Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority

If you believe that we are violating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR. You can contact a supervisory authority in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to complain exists in addition to administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

Data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract must be handed over to you or a third party in a common, machine-readable format if you request it. We can only transfer the data to another controller if this is technically feasible.

Right to information, deletion, and rectification of data

According to Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to receive free information about which personal data we have stored about you, where the data originated, to whom we transmit the data, and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have a right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR); under the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR, you may request that we delete the data.

Right to restriction of processing

In certain situations, you can request that we restrict the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR. The data may then – apart from storage – only be processed as follows:

  • with your consent
  • for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims
  • to protect the rights of another natural or legal person
  • for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State

The right to restrict processing exists in the following situations:

  • You have disputed the accuracy of your personal data stored by us and we need time to verify this. Here, the right exists for the duration of the review.
  • The processing of your personal data is unlawful or was unlawful in the past. Here, the right exists as an alternative to the deletion of the data.
  • We no longer need your personal data, but you need them for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims. Here, the right exists as an alternative to the deletion of the data.
  • You have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR and now your and our interests must be weighed against each other. Here, the right exists as long as the outcome of the weighing has not yet been determined.

USE OF COOKIES

Our website places cookies on your device. These are small text files that serve various purposes. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function at all (necessary cookies). Others are required to perform certain actions or functions on the site (functional cookies). For example, without cookies, it would not be possible to use the benefits of a shopping cart in an online shop. Still other cookies serve to analyze user behavior or optimize advertising measures. If we use third-party services on our website, e.g., for processing payments, these companies may also place cookies on your device when you access the website (so-called third-party cookies).

How do we process your data?

Session cookies are only stored on your device for the duration of a session. As soon as you close the browser, they disappear on their own. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device if you do not delete them yourself. This can, for example, lead to your user behavior being analyzed permanently. You can influence how your browser handles cookies via its settings:

Do you want to be informed when cookies are set?
Do you want to exclude cookies generally or for specific cases?
Do you want cookies to be automatically deleted when you close the browser?

If you deactivate or do not allow cookies, the functionality of the website may be limited.

If we use cookies from other companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this in this privacy policy. We will also ask for your consent in this regard when you access our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our online services can be used by visitors without technical problems and that all desired functions are available to them. The storage of necessary and functional cookies on your device therefore takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We use all other cookies on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR, provided you give us corresponding consent. You can revoke this at any time with effect for the future. If you have consented to the placement of necessary and functional cookies when asked for consent, the storage of these cookies will also take place exclusively on the basis of your consent.

  • Date and time of consent
  • Your browser's user agent
  • The URL from which the consent was sent
  • An anonymous, random, and encrypted key
  • Your consent status, which serves as proof of consent

In addition, CCM19 stores a cookie in your browser to associate the given consents or their revocation with your browser. All collected data is stored until the cookies are no longer needed, you delete the CCM19 cookie, or you request us to delete the data. This does not apply if we are legally obliged to retain the data.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We are legally obliged to obtain the consent of our website visitors for the use of certain cookies. To fulfill this obligation, we use CCM19. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR.

ANALYTICS TOOLS AND ADVERTISING

We use the following tools to analyze the behavior of our website visitors and to show you advertising:

Google Analytics

What is Google Analytics?

Tool for analyzing user behavior by Google Ireland Ltd.

Who processes your data?

Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

Was a data processing agreement concluded with Google Analytics?

Yes

Where can you find more information about data protection at Google Analytics?

https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de

On what basis do we transfer your data to the USA?

Based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission (https://privacy.google.com/businesses/compliance)

How can you prevent data collection?

Among other things, with a browser plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

How do we process your data?

We are always interested in optimizing our web offering for visitors to our website and in placing advertising optimally. Google Analytics helps us with this, a tool that analyzes user behavior and thus provides us with the necessary data basis for adjustments. Through this tool, we receive information about the origin of our visitors, their page views, and their time spent on the pages, as well as the operating system they use.

Standard processing

To collect data, Google Analytics uses cookies, device fingerprinting, or other technologies for user recognition. The data is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and, with the help of the also collected IP address, aggregated into a profile that can be assigned to you or your device.

You can prevent Google from processing your data by installing a browser plugin provided by Google itself: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

IP anonymization

We have activated the "IP anonymization" function within Google Analytics. For you, this means that Google shortens your IP address (from the EU or the EEA) before transmitting it to the USA. Only in exceptional cases does Google transmit the full IP address to servers in the USA and shortens it there.

Demographic characteristics

We use the "demographic characteristics" function of Google Analytics to display suitable advertisements to visitors of our website within the Google advertising network.

We are always interested in optimizing our web offering for users and placing advertisements optimally. Hotjar helps us with this, a tool that analyzes user behavior and thus provides us with the necessary data basis for adjustments. Specifically, Hotjar processes website visitor data as follows:

Among other things, it records which click and scroll movements users make with the mouse and how long the mouse pointer remains at a certain spot. From the collected data of all users, the tool then creates so-called heatmaps, which make visible which website areas are particularly popular.

It tells us how long users remained on a subpage of our website and when they left the page.

It can obtain direct feedback from you as a website visitor.

If users have started to fill out our contact form, the tool records at which point they stopped entering data (so-called conversion funnels).

To recognize you as a user, Hotjar places cookies on your device or reads information stored on it via so-called device fingerprinting.

If you do not want Hotjar to collect your data, you can deactivate the tool. Hotjar Ltd. offers two options for this at the following link: https://www.hotjar.com/opt-out.

USE OF CUSTOMER DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING

Subscription to our email newsletter

If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your email address. The provision of further data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. For sending the newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure, which ensures that you only receive newsletters if you have expressly confirmed your consent to receive the newsletter by clicking on a verification link sent to the provided email address.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent for the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. In this case, we store your IP address registered by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration to be able to trace any possible misuse of your email address at a later date. The data collected by us when you register for the newsletter will be used strictly for the intended purpose. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a message to the controller mentioned above. After unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this statement.

If we receive your email 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 from our range, like those already purchased, via email, based on § 7 para. 3 UWG. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in advertising to our customers, which outweigh your interests in the context of a balancing of interests.

You can object to this use of your email address at any time by sending a message to the contact option described in this privacy policy or via a dedicated link in the advertising email, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.
After unsubscribing, we will delete your email address from the recipient list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or we reserve the right to further data use that is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this statement.

We use the following service provider for sending our newsletter:

What is Klaviyo?

Service for sending newsletters and analyzing recipient behavior

Who processes your data?

Klaviyo, Inc., Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Has a data processing agreement been concluded with Klaviyo?

Yes

Where can you find more information about data protection at Klaviyo?

https://www.klaviyo.com/legal/privacy-policy

On what basis do we transfer your data to the USA?

Based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission (cf. https://www.klaviyo.com/legal/data-processing-agreement)

How do we process your data?

We use Klaviyo for our newsletter delivery. The service manages newsletter subscriber data for us, sends our newsletter, and analyzes our newsletter campaigns.

If you would like to receive our newsletter, we require your email address. We will also use a confirmation email (double opt-in procedure) to verify that you are indeed the owner of this email address. We do not collect any further data, or only on a voluntary basis. We use your data exclusively for sending the newsletter. It will be stored on a Klaviyo server in the USA.

If we send a newsletter via Klaviyo and you open it, a file contained in the newsletter automatically connects to Klaviyo's servers. This way, the service learns that the newsletter has been opened and registers all clicks on the links it contains. In addition, Klaviyo collects technical information such as the time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time.

How long do we store your data?

After you have unsubscribed, your data will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list. In some circumstances, we may also add your email address to a blacklist; this is necessary, for example, if you have objected to receiving advertising from us. In this case, the legal basis for storage is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Furthermore, we reserve the right to delete the data at any time after the purpose of collection has ceased or at our own discretion.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

By registering for the subscriber list, you consent to data processing by Klaviyo. This processing is therefore lawful on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent by unsubscribing from the newsletter or by sending us an informal notification. For us, this means that we are no longer permitted to send you newsletters from that point onwards.

The provision of further data is voluntary and is used to address you personally.

By verifying your phone number, you give us your consent for the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. The data we collect when you register for contact via SMS is used strictly for the intended purpose. You can unsubscribe from SMS notifications at any time via the mechanism provided in the respective text message or by sending a corresponding message to the controller mentioned above. After successful unsubscription, your phone number will be immediately deleted from our SMS distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to further use of data that is legally permissible and about which we inform you in this declaration.

FURTHER PLUGINS AND TOOLS

YouTube (with extended data protection)

What is YouTube?

Video platform

Who processes your data?

Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

Where can you find more information about data protection at YouTube?

https://www.youtube.com/intl/ALL_de/howyoutubeworks/our-commitments/protecting-user-data/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIztKuysSW-gIVjgwGAB0euwPlEAAYASAAEgLBXfD_BwE

How do we process your data?

You can watch YouTube videos on our website. In doing so, Google, as the provider of YouTube, collects and stores certain information about you. However, since we use YouTube in extended data protection mode, this only happens when you start a video. Specifically, the following happens in this case:

  1. Google's servers are informed which of our pages have been visited by your device. If you are logged into your YouTube account while browsing, Google can directly assign your browsing behavior to your personal profile. If you do not want this, you must log out of your YouTube account before continuing to browse the Internet.
  2. Google receives information about visitors to our website via cookies, device fingerprinting or similar recognition technologies. On this basis, the company then creates video statistics, makes its application more attractive to users and prevents attempted fraud.
  3. Your data may also be processed beyond this. However, we have no knowledge of the details. Nor can we influence the processing.

Even if you do not start a YouTube video on our website, Google establishes a connection to its DoubleClick network and possibly also to other partners. The extended data protection mode therefore does not mean that Google does not process any data from you at all when you visit our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

If you have consented to data processing, we process your data exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time. From the time of withdrawal, we are no longer permitted to process your data.

The analysis does not begin only when you use the test tool, but already when you access our website. Various data is collected, e.g., the

IP address, the time spent on our website, and mouse movements made. The data is forwarded to Google.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

If you have consented to data processing, we process your data exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time. From the time of withdrawal, we are no longer permitted to process your data.

To provide the Polyfills, the service receives certain technical information from your browser, including browser details, connection data (such as your IP address) and the URL of the website that sent the request to the service. This information is used to determine which Polyfills are needed by your browser for the optimal display of the website.

DATA PROCESSING ON SOCIAL MEDIA

What is Social Media?

By Social Media, we mean the social networks on which we have created publicly accessible profiles. You can find out which specific social networks these are below, under the respective networks.

Who processes your data?

The respective operating companies of the social networks. You can find the individual operators below for each network.

How is your data processed?

The operators of social networks are generally able to collect and evaluate comprehensive data about the behavior of visitors and users of the network. We are unable to track all processing operations in the social networks we use, which is why further processing operations not listed here may be carried out by the operators of the social networks. Further information can be found in the terms of use and data protection declarations of the respective social networks.

The processing of your data may be triggered by your visiting the social network's website or our profile page there. Even if you access a website that uses certain network content, such as Like or Share buttons, data may already be transferred to the operators of the social network. If you are a user of the social network yourself and are logged into your user account, your visit to our profile page can be assigned to your account by the operator of the social network. Even if you have not registered a user account yourself or are not logged in, the operator of the network may still collect your personal data, for example, by collecting your IP address or setting cookies. With this data, the operators can create user profiles tailored to your behavior and interests and show you interest-based advertising within and outside the network. If you are a registered user of the network, interest-based advertising can also be displayed on all devices on which you are or have been logged in.

On what legal basis is your data processed?

Our profiles in social networks are intended to ensure the widest possible online presence for our company. As a company, we have a legitimate interest in this. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The data processing operations and analyses carried out by the operators of the social networks themselves may be based on other legal grounds. These must be specified by the operators of the social networks.

Who is responsible for processing your data and how can you assert your rights?

When you visit one of our profiles on social networks, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the respective network for the data processing operations triggered by this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights against both us and the operator of the respective network.

Despite the joint responsibility with the operators of the social networks, our influence on the data processing operations of the respective operator is limited and is primarily governed by the operator's specifications.

How long is your data stored?

If we collect data via our profiles in social networks, it will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for its storage ceases to apply, you request us to delete it, or you revoke your consent to storage. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

We have no influence on how long the operators of social networks store your data that the operators collect for their own purposes. You can obtain information on this directly from the operator of the respective social network, for example, in the respective privacy policy.
