Privacy policy of spirit-of-wine.com
Below we inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the processing of your personal data when using our platform at the address "spirit-of-wine.com" (hereinafter "platform" or "website"). Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

The controller within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. For the personal data processed by the Platform, the controller within the meaning of the GDPR is:

(hereinafter "we").

When you visit our website

When you visit our website, our server collects the following information from your end device: browser type and version, operating system, the previously visited website ("referrer"), IP address and time of the page request.

We collect and process this data in order to ensure the trouble-free operation of our website and to be able to recognise, ward off and pursue any misuse of our services. Furthermore, we use the collected data for statistical purposes, for example to evaluate which end devices and browsers are used to access our platform, in order to continuously adapt and improve our offer to the needs of the users on this basis. This data processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) DSGVO.

We delete all of the above-mentioned personal data no later than twelve months after it has been collected.

If you set up a user account with usWhen

you register as a new user on our platform, we process your first and last name, your address, your e-mail address and a freely selectable user name (can also be a pseudonym). If you voluntarily provide further data during registration (e.g. your telephone number), we also process this data. If you want to set up a seller account as an entrepreneur, we also need your VAT identification number.

We process this data electronically for the proper fulfilment of the contract, in particular for setting up the desired user account, for mediating the conclusion of contracts between buyers and sellers on our platform, for invoicing for paid services on our platform, for booking payments and for processing any complaints. This data processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) DSGVO.

We keep this data until all mutual claims arising from the respective contractual relationship with you have been settled in full and the retention periods under commercial and tax law to which we are subject have expired.

For a contract to be concluded between you and us, it is necessary that we receive at least your first and last name, your address, your e-mail address and a user name chosen by you. The necessity of providing this data results from the functioning of our platform (mediation of contracts between sellers and buyers) and legal regulations (such as § 312i para. 1 item 3 BGB, § 14 para. 4, 22f, 25e UStG). Without providing this data, you can therefore not set up a user account with us.

When deciding on the conclusion of a contract, we refrain from automated decision-making and profiling.

Mediation of contracts

If you buy or sell something via our platform, we forward your data (first and last name, address, e-mail address, user name) as well as any supplementary information that you have entered when concluding the contract to your respective contractual partner on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) DSGVO.

Payment

For the payment of paid services of our platform, the payment service provider selected by you collects and processes on your behalf your name, your card or account number and/or other data required for the payment method selected by you.

In this respect, the data protection provisions of the payment service provider selected by you apply in addition.

When we receive a payment, we process the data provided to us by the payment service provider.

The processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) DSGVO. We keep this data until all mutual claims arising from the respective contractual relationship with you have been settled in full and the retention periods under commercial and tax law to which we are subject have expired.

In such a case, we will delete the data related to your declaration as soon as all mutual claims arising from the contractual relationship have been finally settled and the retention periods under commercial and tax law have expired.

Use of cookies

When you visit our website, we may place a "cookie" on your terminal device. This is a small text file that allows us to recognise your terminal device when you visit our platform again at a later occasion. With the help of the cookie, we can also analyse certain user behaviour, e.g. which content you view, how long you stay on our platform and when and how often you return to our platform. We delete a stored cookie no later than twelve months after your last visit to our platform.

This data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) DSGVO for the purpose of tailoring our product range even better to the wishes of our visitors and optimising the functions of our platform and the efficiency of advertising measures.

You can prevent the creation of cookies by going to the cookie settings of your internet browser and there objecting to the creation of cookies for our site or for all websites. There you can also delete cookies that have already been placed.

Social media

Social media buttons may be displayed on our portal; they can be recognised by the logos of the social media platforms (hereinafter "platforms") (e.g. Facebook: "f" logo, Twitter: bird silhouette). A click on such a button calls up the website of the respective platform, whereby the IP address of the calling up end device as well as the address of the page from which the link is made ("referrer") are transmitted to the called up platform. However, no data is collected or processed by us in connection with the social media buttons.

Your rights

You have the following rights in relation to the personal data we process about you:

You have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether we are processing personal data relating to you. If this is the case, we will inform you of the personal data we hold about you and the further information pursuant to Article 15 (1) and (2) of the GDPR.

You have the right to have inaccurate personal data relating to you corrected without delay. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you also have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data - also by means of a supplementary declaration.

You may request us to delete the personal data concerning you without delay under the conditions of Article 17(1) of the GDPR, insofar as their processing is not necessary in accordance with Article 17(3) of the GDPR.

You may request us to restrict the processing of your data if one of the conditions of Article 18(1) of the GDPR applies. In particular, you may request the restriction instead of deletion.

We will notify any rectification or erasure of your personal data and any restriction of processing to all recipients to whom we have disclosed personal data relating to you, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. We will also inform you of these recipients if you so request.

You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and may request that we transfer this data to another controller without hindrance, insofar as this is technically possible.

Insofar as data processing is based on your consent, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time. The revocation of consent will not affect the lawfulness of the data processing that took place until your revocation.

RIGHT TO OBJECT: FOR REASONS ARISING OUT OF YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, YOU MAY OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU; this right of objection exists in relation to that data processing which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR for the purposes of safeguarding legitimate interests on our part or on the part of a third party, unless such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require the protection of personal data. If you exercise your right to object, we will no longer process the data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of you, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

IN THE EVENT THAT WE PROCESS PERSONAL DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING (E.G. NEWSLETTER), YOU MAY OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING, WITH THE CONSEQUENCE THAT WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA FOR SUCH PURPOSES.

If you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR, you may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement. This does not preclude other administrative or judicial remedies.
