3. collection and storage of personal data as well as type and purpose of their use

a) When visiting our website

You can visit our website www.expedition-parts.de without giving us any information about yourself (who you are).

In the case of such purely informational use of our website, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information about yourself, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. When you call up our website www.expedition-parts.de, information is automatically sent to our website server by the browser used on your end device. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file.

The following information is collected without your intervention and stored until automatic deletion:

IP address of the requesting computer,
Date and time of access,
name and URL of the file accessed,
website from which access was made (referrer URL),
the browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as the name of your access provider, language and version of the browser software.

The above data is processed by us for the following purposes:

Ensuring a smooth connection setup of the website,
Ensuring a comfortable use of our website,
evaluating system security and stability, and
for other administrative purposes.

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) EU-DSGVO. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above. In no case do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.

Furthermore, we use cookies when you visit our website. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. You can find more detailed information on this in section 5 of this data protection notice.

b) When using our webshop

When using our webshop, e.g. by submitting your offers, by your acceptance of our offers, by your registration or by other communication, we process the personal data provided by you exclusively for the purpose of initiating or fulfilling a contract.

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b) EU-DSGVO. According to this, data processing is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures that take place at the request of the data subject.

When using our webshop, the following personal data transmitted by you will be processed by us:

First and last name
Address
Identity card number (for foreign orders)
Telephone number (landline number and/or mobile phone number)
Fax number (only if available)
E-mail address
Vehicle & chassis number (for workshop orders)
IBAN (only if required for processing payments)
Credit card number and check digit (only if required for processing payments)

This data is processed for the purpose of fulfilling contractual obligations, in particular for dispatching the goods, processing payment including invoicing, processing any warranty claims and for any related correspondence with you.

You can also voluntarily create a customer account in which we can store your personal data for future purchases. When you create an account under "My account", the data you provide there will be stored revocably. You can always delete all further data, including your user account, in the customer area.

c) When using our contact form

We have provided a contact form on the website so that you can send us your questions, remarks, comments, etc.. For its use, it is mandatory to provide your e-mail address so that we know to whom we have to reply; you can provide further information voluntarily.

The legal basis for data processing is your voluntarily given consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) EU-DSGVO).

The personal data collected by us for the use of the contact form will be deleted after the request you have made has been dealt with.

d) When registering for our newsletter

If you have expressly consented (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) EU-DSGVO), you can subscribe to our newsletter, in which we inform you about new articles in our free off-road manual and also about new products and special offers. Mandatory data for receiving the newsletter are your first and last name as well as your e-mail address.

We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to register for our newsletter. This means that after your registration, we will send you an e-mail message to the e-mail address you provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we store your IP addresses and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data.

The legal basis for this data processing is your voluntarily given consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) EU-DSGVO).

You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, you can send your unsubscribe request by e-mail message to the e-mail address info@expedition-parts.de.

e) Processing based on legitimate interests

Insofar as this is necessary for our business purposes, we process your data - apart from the initiation or fulfilment of a contract as well as consent expressly granted by you - to protect the legitimate interests of our company, unless a weighing of individual cases shows that your legitimate fundamental rights and freedoms, which require the protection of personal data, prevail (cf. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) EU-DSGVO). Legitimate interests of our company include:

Direct advertising, unless you have objected to the use of your personal data.

4. transfer of data to third parties

Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. In particular, no data will be passed on to third parties, e.g. for advertising purposes, without your express consent.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a) EU-DSGVO;
this is necessary according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b) EU-DSGVO for the processing of contractual relationships with you, e.g. to credit institutions for the processing of contractually agreed payments, to shipping and transport companies for the purpose of transporting goods incl. tracking of consignments, in the event of non-fulfilment of contractually agreed payments for the purpose of legal enforcement to lawyers and legal services companies; if payment services (payment procedures) are used, we will inform you of this separately;
in the event that there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) EU-DSGVO; or
the disclosure is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) EU-DSGVO and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data.

We offer payment via PayPal. The provider of this payment service is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg, (in short: "PayPal").

5. Cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small text files that are automatically created by your internet browser and stored on your end device (e.g. PC, laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our site. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device and do not contain any viruses, Trojans or other malware. Information is stored in the cookie that is related to the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we gain direct knowledge of your identity.

The use of cookies serves, among other things, to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. For example, we use cookies to recognise whether you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site. Furthermore, in order to optimise user-friendliness, we use cookies that are stored on your end device for a certain fixed period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognised whether you have already been to our site and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

A distinction must be made between cookies that are absolutely necessary to provide the services on this website (necessary cookies) and those that are not absolutely necessary for this purpose (non-necessary cookies).

Without the use of necessary cookies, this website will not function properly. Such cookies are used exclusively by us (so-called first party cookies) and all information stored in these cookies is sent only to this website.

Necessary cookies are used regardless of whether you have given your consent. The legal basis for data processing in this case is our legitimate interests, i.e. our interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our website and our services (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) EU-DSGVO).

Non-essential cookies used by us can be divided into the categories preference, statistics and marketing. Marketing cookies are used by external companies (so-called third party cookies) to collect information about the websites you visit in order to create targeted advertising, for example.

Non-essential cookies are only used after you have given your consent. By giving your consent to the use of the cookies listed there and selected by you in a so-called consent tool provided by us on this website, you agree to the use of these cookies. In this case, the legal basis for the data processing is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) EU-DSGVO).

You can adjust your cookie settings individually at any time by activating or deactivating individual cookies - with the exception of necessary cookies - in the Consent Tool.

You can set your web browser in such a way that the storage of cookies on your end device is generally prevented or you are asked each time whether you agree to the setting of cookies. Once cookies have been set, you can delete them at any time. How this works is described in the help function of the respective web browser.

A general deactivation of cookies can possibly lead to functional restrictions of this website.

6. storage period and data deletion

In particular, your personal data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed (Art. 17 (1) a) EU-DSGVO). After this, the data will be deleted unless, for example, storage is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under the law of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject (Art. 17 (3) (b) EU-DSGVO) or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims (Art. 17 (3) (e) EU-DSGVO). A legal obligation is represented by the statutory retention obligations, e.g. according to § 147 para. 1 no. 4, para. 3 p. 1 AO there is a retention period of 10 years for accounting data incl. order and payment data as well as according to § 257 para. 1 no. 2, 3, para. 4 HGB a retention period of 6 years for commercial correspondence, e.g. e-mail messages. The data will be blocked for the duration of the retention period, after which it will be deleted.

7. data subject rights

You have the right
