PRIVACY POLICY

General
Thank you for your interest in ourwebsite of BREE Collection GmbH (“BREE”). Bree understands that the careful handling of your personal information and the protection of your privacy are very important to you. That’s why Bree values your trust in being conscientious with this information. Bree takes data protection seriously and complies with the relevant legal regulations on data protection, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). The aforementioned regulations provide a high level of data protection and in this sense your personal data is treated confidentially.

Information for the collection and use of the data
With regard to the existing data protection regulations, BREE is the operator of this website and according to the relevant regulations of the EU DSGVO is responsible for the processing of your personal data. The contact details of the website operator can be found in the imprint of this website under Impress.

The collection of data by BREE is based on the information given to us. BREE regularly needs this information to conduct business – the manufacture, distribution and sale of handbags, business, travel and leisure luggage, leather goods and accessories. As far as, for example, via trade fair visits, visits to stores and business contacts including e-mail or via the e-mail addresses stated on the website or the contact form for sending out the newsletter personal data (eg name, address, e-mail address) are collected, this is done on a voluntary basis. This data from customers, contacts of customers or contacts of suppliers are acc. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) EU GDPR for the fulfillment of a contract, for the execution of pre-contractual measures or, if desired and permissible, after given consent in accordance with. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) EU GDPR is processed for its own marketing purposes and will not be passed on to third parties for purposes other than those stated without your explicit consent. Authorized third parties who receive data may, for example, be service providers. The provision of your personal data is not required by law. Contractually, the provision is regularly required to carry out the business operations and contractual processing in order to be able to communicate with you in the context of contract initiation or contract execution and to be able to guarantee settlement.

The storage of the data takes place for the period and the duration of pre-contractual measures, the execution of the contract or the business relationship or as long as you independently have an information need for our products. The stored data (usually name, address, e-mail address, telephone number) will be deleted as soon as the purpose has ceased and there are no legal tax, archiving or other obligations. In the case of existing legal obligations, the deletion takes place after elimination of the legal deadlines. These are usually 6 or 10 years.

BREE points out that, in particular, unencrypted data transmission over the Internet (for example, when communicating via e-mail) may be vulnerable. A complete protection of the data from access by third parties can not be guaranteed.

Information, correction, deletion, limitation of processing and data portability and revocation
As permitted by law, you have the right to be provided at any time with information free of charge about any of your personal data that is stored as well as its origin, the recipient and the purpose for which it has been processed. This includes a right to information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing and data portability of these data, as far as no legal regulations oppose. In the case of consent given to us to collect and store your data, you have the right to revoke your data at any time. Until the revocation, the storage and collection of data remains legal. If you have any questions, you can always contact the contact address in the impress under Impress or the data protection officer.

Contact for Data protection
Great emphasis is placed on transparency. If you have any questions about the handling of your data or the privacy policy of BREE, you can contact our data protection officer by e-mail “[email protected]” or via our postal address with the addition “the data protection officer”.

Right of Appeal
As the person concerned, you have a right of appeal to the supervisory authority according to art. 77 DSGVO if you believe that the processing of your personal data was unlawful. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which BREE has its headquarters. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found on the following link:

Server log files / collecting data when visiting the website
The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in “server log files”. These are, for example, browser type / browser version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer and time of server request.

These data cannot be assigned to specific persons. These data will not be combined with data from other sources. BREE reserves the right to review this data retrospectively if concrete evidence of illegal use becomes available. The legal basis for data processing is art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) EU DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.

Processing of data (customer and contract data) and data in the online shop
BREE collects, processes and uses personal data only as they are necessary for the establishment, content or alteration of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.

The collected customer data will be deleted after completion of the contract or termination of the business relationship, if no consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR is available. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

Personal data are only transmitted to third parties if this is necessary in the context of the contract, for example to the companies entrusted with the delivery of the goods or to the bank responsible for processing the payment. A further transmission of the data does not take place or only if you have expressly consented to the transmission. A transfer of your data to third parties without explicit consent, such as for advertising purposes, does not occur.

Processing of data for online orders when purchasing with card payment
For card payments (direct debit/girocard/credit cards) we work with Concardis GmbH (Concardis), Helfmann Park 7, D-65760 Eschborn, represented by its managing directors Mark Freese, Jens Mahlke and Luca Zanotti.

In this context, card data are transferred to the above company in addition to the purchase amount and date. All payment data, as well as data on any chargebacks, are only stored for as long as necessary to process the payment (including processing of any chargebacks and collection of the receivable) and to combat fraud. Data are generally deleted no later than 13 months after collection.

Data may be stored for longer if and for as long as necessary to comply with statutory regulations or to prosecute a concrete case of fraud. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 f) General Data Protection Regulation. You can request information about your data, ask for it to be rectified or deleted and for processing to be restricted and/or you can withhold your consent to the processing of your data.

If you have any questions about data processing by Concardis or to exercise your aforementioned rights, you can write to the data protection officer at the address provided above or by email to [email protected]. Furthermore, you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority (in Germany to the state data protection officer).

You are advised that you have no statutory or contractual obligation to provide your payment data. If you do not wish to provide your payment data you can choose another payment method (e.g. cash).

Transfer of data for online orders when purchased on account
We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary within the scope of the contract, for example to the bank responsible for processing the payment.

If you decide to purchase on account, we will transfer certain information that you have provided us in the course of the order process, to verify your credit rating to our service provider Creditreform Boniversum GmbH, Hellersbergstr. 11, 41460 Neuss. The data transmitted by Creditreform Boniversum GmbH include your first and last name, postal address and date of birth, if indicated. For the purpose of the aforementioned credit check, Creditreform Boniversum GmbH will provide us with the address and credit data stored in your database, including scores based on mathematical and statistical procedures, provided that we have credibly set out our legitimate interests. When calculating the score your address data may be used as well.

Irrespective of this, we will also provide Creditreform Boniversum GmbH with personal data on claims in the event of negative payment experiences, in compliance with the legal requirements for doing so.

The same applies to other personal data on any non-contractual behavior, as far as permitted by law and after consideration of all interests involved.

For more information about the Creditreform Boniversum GmbH Information and Score process, please visit the Consumer Service:

You have the option to revoke your consent to data processing at any time. Revocation does not affect the effectiveness of historical data processing operations.

Order data processing with Google Analytics
We have entered into an agreement with Google for the outsourcing of our data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic Data Collection by Google Analyitics
This website uses Google Analytics’ demographic features. This allows reports to be generated containing statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and third-party visitor data. This collected data cannot be attributed to any specific individual person. You can disable this feature at any time by adjusting the ads settings in your Google account or you can forbid the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section “Refusal of data collection”.

Google Maps
This site uses the Google Maps map service via an API. It is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

To use Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer.

Further information about handling user data, can be found in the data protection declaration of Google at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Google Analytics Remarketing
Our websites use the features of Google Analytics Remarketing combined with the cross-device capabilities of Google AdWords and DoubleClick. This service is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

This feature makes it possible to link target audiences for promotional marketing created with Google Analytics Remarketing to the cross-device capabilities of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This allows advertising to be displayed based on your personal interests, identified based on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g. your mobile phone), on other devices (such as a tablet or computer).

Once you have given your consent, Google will associate your web and app browsing history with your Google Account for this purpose. That way, any device that signs in to your Google Account can use the same personalized promotional messaging.

To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs of users that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device ad promotion.

You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by turning off personalized advertising in your Google Account; follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The aggregation of the data collected in your Google Account data is based solely on your consent, which you may give or withdraw from Google per art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. For data collection operations not merged into your Google Account (for example, because you do not have a Google Account or have objected to the merge), the collection of data is based on art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing anonymous user behavior for promotional purposes.

For more information and the Google Privacy Policy, go to: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/..

Google AdWords and Google Conversion-Tracking
This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).

As part of Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser stores on your computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of the user. Should the user visit certain pages of the website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the website can tell that the user clicked on the ad and proceeded to that page.

Each Google AdWords advertiser has a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked using the website of an AdWords advertiser. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for the AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, advertisers do not obtain any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt-out of this by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie by changing your browser settings. In doing so, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

Conversion cookies are stored based on art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising.

For more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, see the Google Privacy Policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

YouTube
Our website uses plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

If you visit one of our pages featuring a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. Here the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited.

If you’re logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

YouTube is used to help make our website appealing. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

Facebook Pixel
Our website measures conversions using visitor action pixels from Facebook, Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”).

These allow the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they click on a Facebook ad to reach the provider’s website. This allows an analysis of the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and their future optimization.

The data collected is anonymous to us as operators of this website and we cannot use it to draw any conclusions about our users’ identities. However, the data are stored and processed by Facebook, which may make a connection to your Facebook profile and which may use the data for its own advertising purposes, as stipulated in the Facebook privacy policy. This will allow Facebook to display ads both on Facebook and on third-party sites. We have no control over how this data is used.
