Personal data is information about factual or personal circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your name, your telephone number, your address and all inventory data that you provide to us when you create your customer account. Statistical data that we collect, for example, when you visit our web shop and that cannot be directly linked to your person are not included here.

Data protection is very important to us. Therefore, we strictly adhere to the legal provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act and the Telemedia Act when collecting, processing and using your personal data. We collect, store and process your data for the entire processing of your order, including any subsequent warranties, for our services, technical administration and our own marketing purposes. Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties or otherwise transmitted if this is necessary for the purpose of contract processing or billing or if you have given your prior consent. In the context of order processing, for example, the service providers we use here (such as carriers, logisticians, banks) receive the necessary data for order and order processing. The data thus disclosed may only be used by our service providers to fulfil their task. Any other use of the information is not permitted and does not take place with any of the service providers entrusted by us. For your order we need your correct name, address and payment details. Your personal data will be deleted if there are no legal obligations to retain it and if you have asserted a claim for deletion, if the data is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was stored or if its storage is not permitted for other legal reasons.

A notification in text form to the contact data mentioned under item 1 (e.g. e-mail, fax, letter) is sufficient for this purpose.

For sending the newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure, i.e. we will only send you a newsletter by e-mail if you have previously expressly confirmed that you want us to activate the newsletter service. We will then send you a notification email and ask you to confirm that you would like to receive our newsletter by clicking on a link contained in this email. If you do not wish to receive any more newsletters from us at a later date, you can object to this at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

The IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymised after the end of use.

4.4. WEB ANALYSIS
4.4.1 GOOGLE ANALYTICS
Google Analytics is a service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information collected by the cookie about the use of our website (including your IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We would like to point out that on our websites Google Analytics has been extended by the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” in order to ensure anonymised collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). At our instigation, your IP address is therefore only recorded by Google in shortened form, which ensures anonymisation and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity. If IP anonymisation is activated on our websites, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. A transfer of this data by Google to third parties only takes place on the basis of legal regulations or within the framework of commissioned data processing. Under no circumstances will Google merge your data with other data collected by Google. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of our website. In addition, you can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of these web pages (incl. your IP address) by Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by clicking on the link below.

4.5. SOCIAL PLUGINS
4.5.1 SOCIAL PLUGINS
Our website uses social plugins (“plugins”) from various social networks. With the help of these plugins, you can, for example, share content or recommend products. The plugins are deactivated by default on www.opticunion.de and therefore do not send any data. You can activate the plugins by clicking on the “Activate social media” button. Of course, the plug-ins can be deactivated again with one click. If these plugins are activated, your browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of the respective social network as soon as you call up a website of our internet presence. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by the social network and integrated into the website by it. By integrating the plugins, the social network receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged in to the social network, it can assign the visit to your account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the Facebook “Like” button or posting a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from your browser directly to the social network and stored there. For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by social networks as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the data protection notices of the respective networks or websites. You will find the links to this below. Even if you are not logged in to the social networks, data can be sent to the networks from websites with active social plugins. An active plugin sets a cookie with an identifier each time the website is called up. Since your browser sends this cookie along without being asked every time you connect to a network server, the network could in principle use it to create a profile of which web pages the user belonging to the identifier has accessed. And it would then also be quite possible to assign this identifier to a person again later – for example when logging on to the social network later. We use the following plugins on our websites: Facebook. If you do not want social networks to collect data about you via active plugins, you can either simply deactivate the social plugins with a click on our websites or select the function in your browser settings. „Cookies von Drittanbietern blockieren“ Then the browser does not send cookies to the server for embedded content from other providers. With this setting, however, not only the plug-ins but also other cross-page functions may no longer work.
4.5.2 FACEBOOK
We use plugins from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). You can find the link to Facebook’s privacy policy here: Facebook privacy policy.
4.6. SAFE DATA TRANSMISSION
Your personal data is transferred securely with us using encryption. This applies to your order and also to the customer login. We use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) coding system for this. Furthermore, we secure our websites and other systems by technical and organisational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your data by unauthorised persons.
4.7. INFORMATION RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT
