We respect your data!
We are pleased about your interest in our website. The trust of all visitors and customers, the security of your data, and the protection of your privacy are of central importance to us. Your personal data is therefore handled by us in accordance with the applicable statutory data protection provisions and this privacy policy. Personal data is information that can be used to determine your identity, such as your real name, your address, or your telephone number.
If you view and use our site without registering or otherwise expressly providing us with information, we process the data that your browser transmits to us with each request (see below under “Log Data”). If you expressly transmit personal data to us (e.g. via our contact form), this is done exclusively for the purpose related to the inquiry or the respective order. We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet can never be completely protected against access by third parties.
Below, we would like to explain in more detail which data we process, when, and for what purpose. It is explained how our offered services work and how the protection of your personal data is ensured.

Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis.
For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary for the purposes of a legitimate interest pursued by our company or by a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data Deletion and Storage Period
The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may continue beyond this if this has been provided for by European or national legislation or other regulations to which the controller is subject. Data shall also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned provisions expires, unless there is a necessity for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

Your Rights
You have the right to free information about the data stored by us concerning your person as well as, where applicable, a right to rectification, restriction of processing, or deletion of such data. You also have the right to data portability. Finally, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority regarding our processing of your personal data.

We also point out that you may object at any time to the future processing of your personal data in accordance with the statutory requirements pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR. Such objection may in particular be made against processing for purposes of direct marketing.

Provision of Information
If you have any questions regarding the collection, processing, or use of your personal data, for information, for the correction, blocking, or deletion of data, as well as for the revocation of any consent given or objection to a specific use of data, please contact us using the following e-mail address: datenschutz@fd-textil.de

Log Data
The automatic collection and storage of log data by the provider of Internet services (provider) takes place because the processing of this data is technically necessary in order to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security. The log data includes the following information:
· Date and time of the respective request
· Internet address (URL) requested
· URL visited by the visitor immediately beforehand
· Browser used and language
· Operating system used and its interface
· IP address and host name of the visitor
· Access status / HTTP status code
· Amount of data transferred in each case
The transmission of this data to us takes place automatically and cannot be assigned to your person with reasonable effort. The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, because this data processing is necessary for the operation and display of the website. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for achieving the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object.

Cookies
In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your end device and store certain information for exchange with our system. The legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Some of the cookies used by us are deleted again after the end of the browser session, i.e. after closing the browser (transient cookies). These include, in particular, session cookies. They store a unique identifier (session ID). By means of this session ID, various requests from your browser can be assigned to a shared session. This allows your end device to be recognized if you return to our website during a session. Session cookies are also deleted when you log out.
Other cookies remain on your end device for a predefined period and enable us to recognize your browser or end device on your next visit (persistent cookies).
If you log into your user account on our website and select the option “stay logged in,” we use persistent cookies to recognize your end device on your next visit after closing the browser. You will then not have to log in again.
Please note that certain cookies are already set as soon as you enter our website. You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually whether to accept them, or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases, in particular third-party cookies, or in general. If cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our website may be limited for you.
If you view content using the Flash plugin, Flash cookies may be used. These are not recorded and stored by your browser, but by the Flash plugin itself. If you do not want Flash cookies to be processed, you must install a corresponding add-on, e.g. “Better Privacy” for Mozilla Firefox (
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/betterprivacy/) or the Adobe-Flash-Killer-Cookie for Google Chrome.

Sending Our E-mail Newsletter via “MailChimp”
By means of the information provided in this section, we inform you about how the registration, dispatch, evaluation, and content of our e-mail newsletter are structured.

If you would like to subscribe to and regularly receive our e-mail newsletter, your registration with a valid e-mail address and thus your consent to the processing of your personal data by us is required. Please refer to the consent declaration on the newsletter registration form.
Before sending the newsletter, you must expressly confirm to us, within the framework of the so-called double opt-in procedure, that we are to activate the e-mail newsletter service for you. We do this to prevent third-party e-mail addresses from being used for registrations. For this purpose, you will receive a confirmation and authorization e-mail from us in which we ask you to click on the link contained in this e-mail and thereby confirm to us that you would like to receive our newsletter. If you do not provide confirmation, your personal data will be deleted within 10 days.
In connection with the registration, in addition to the e-mail address, the time of registration, the time of confirmation, the IP address, and the text of consent are stored, and we use the e-mail address exclusively for the delivery of the newsletter unless you have expressly consented to another use.
Through small, “invisible” files (beacons) sent with the newsletter, various evaluations can be carried out in order to improve our offers. In this process, the IP address, browser, the time of retrieval and opening of the newsletter, and the clicking behavior on links contained in the newsletter are recorded and statistically evaluated.
The newsletter is sent on the basis of the recipients’ consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with § 7 para. 2 no. 3 UWG. The analysis of opening and click rates is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our interest is to create the most suitable offers possible for our users and to achieve this through analysis of user behavior and to continuously optimize it.
Service provider for dispatch: The newsletter is sent with the help of MailChimp, a dispatch platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA (hereinafter referred to as “dispatch service provider”). You can view the privacy policy of the dispatch service provider at
https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/. The dispatch service provider is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby offers a guarantee to comply with the European level of data protection; the relevant information can be accessed at: (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG)
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
You may unsubscribe by revoking your consent. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is possible at any time. Please use the link provided in the newsletter for this purpose. A separate revocation of the dispatch or of the evaluation of user behavior is unfortunately not possible.

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored by Google on a server in the USA. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will first be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports and statistics on website activity, and to provide further services related to website and Internet use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data held by Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link:
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. As a result, IP addresses are further processed in truncated form, so that according to Google a direct personal reference is virtually excluded. Insofar as the data collected about you has a personal reference, this is therefore intended to be excluded immediately and the personal data thereby deleted without delay.

We use Google Analytics in order to analyze the use of our website and to be able to improve it regularly. Through the statistics obtained, we can improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR in order to protect your personal data.

http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html, Overview of Privacy: http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html, and the Privacy Policy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
You can object to the use of Google Analytics by choosing the opt-out option when accessing the website. The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, as we would like to offer you an appealing website optimized for you within our possibilities.

Facebook Pixel and Facebook Custom Audiences
Our website uses Facebook Conversion Tracking, the so-called “Facebook Pixel” of the social network Facebook, for the purpose of analyzing and optimizing our website. The provider of these services is Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If you are resident in the EU, the provider of the services is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter “Facebook”).
By using the Facebook Pixel, Facebook is able, on the one hand, to identify and determine the visitors to our website as a potential target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “Facebook Ads”). Accordingly, we use the Facebook Pixel in order to display the Facebook Ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our website or who exhibit certain characteristics (interests determined on the basis of websites visited, etc.). We transmit this information to Facebook and thereby create so-called “Custom Audiences.” By using the Facebook Pixel, we particularly want to ensure that our Facebook Ads correspond to the potential interest of visitors and are not perceived as a nuisance. By using the Facebook Pixel, we can statistically trace the effectiveness of Facebook Ads and for market research purposes. In doing so, we analyze whether visitors are redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook Ad, i.e. whether a so-called “conversion” takes place.
General information on Facebook’s data processing can be found here
https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. Further information and details on the Facebook Pixel can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616. Facebook is certified under Privacy Shield and thereby offers a guarantee to comply with the European level of data protection (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active). You can object to the collection by the Facebook Pixel and the use of your data for the display of Facebook Ads. In order to configure which types of advertising are displayed to you within Facebook, you can access the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there concerning settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices such as desktop computers or mobile devices.
You can object to the use of the Facebook Pixel by choosing the opt-out option when accessing the website. The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, as we would like to offer you an appealing website optimized for you within our possibilities.

Google Maps
Our website has an interface to Google Maps. In order to use Google Maps, your IP address must be stored on a Google server in the USA. The recipient of the data is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, as we would like to offer you an appealing website. Additional information is provided in Google’s privacy policy at
https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Online Shop with PayPal Payment
We also offer products such as personalized textiles and accessories for purchase via our website.
Within the scope of the order, the following data must be entered by you:
Name, delivery and billing address, e-mail, and, where applicable, telephone number for queries
This data is stored by us exclusively for the further processing of your inquiry. The data is only stored by us for as long as the processing of the inquiry requires.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data in the ordering and purchasing process results here from Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b).
Payments are possible via PayPal.
PayPal is an online payment service provider. The operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. In addition, PayPal offers the possibility of processing virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not maintain a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there is no classic account number. PayPal makes it possible to initiate online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also performs trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.
If the data subject selects PayPal as the payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, data of the data subject is automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal generally includes first name, last name, address, e-mail address, IP address, telephone number, mobile telephone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. Such personal data as is connected with the respective order is also necessary for the performance of the purchase contract.
The purpose of the transfer of the data is payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transmit personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller may, under certain circumstances, be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. This transmission serves the purpose of identity and creditworthiness checks.
We cannot say how PayPal further processes the data.
The applicable privacy policy of PayPal can be accessed at
https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data in the purchasing process results here from Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b).

Encryption by SSL
For security reasons, our website uses SSL encryption (Secure Sockets Layer). This protects transmitted data and prevents it from being read by third parties. You can recognize successful encryption by the fact that the protocol designation in the browser’s status bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and that a closed padlock symbol is visible there.
