Provided a respective consent was requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing is exclusively based on Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time. IP anonymisation We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. This means that your IP address is previously truncated within the member states of the European Union or other members of the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the website operator to evaluate your use of the website, to prepare reports about the activities on the website and to deliver additional services related to the use of the website and the Internet to the website operator.

Data processing as a processor under GDPR We entered into a data processing agreement with Google as processor and fully comply with the strict standards of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics. Google Analytics Demographics This website uses the Demographics feature of Google Analytics. This enables reports to be generated with information about age, gender and interests of website visitors. This data is derived from interest-based advertising by Google as well as third-party data on visitors. This data cannot be attributed to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time in the advertising settings of your Google account or prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics in general as explained in “Objecting to data collection”. Storage period Data on the user and event level stored at Google, which is linked to cookies, user IDs or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick Cookies, Android advertising ID), will be anonymised or deleted after 14 months. Details are provided at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de Google Analytics Remarketing This website uses the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in connection with the cross-device functions of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) This function allows to combine the target groups created by Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick. By applying this functionality, interest-related, personalised advertising messages that are adapted to you according to your prior usage and surf behaviour with a device (e.g. mobile phone), can also be displayed on one of your other devices (e.g. tablet or PC). If you provided your respective consent, Google will link for this purpose your web and app browser history with your Google account. By applying this functionality, the same personalised advertising messages can be displayed on each device with which you login into your Google account. To support this function, Google Analytics captures the user Ids authenticated by Google and combines these Ids temporarily with our Google Analytics data to define and create target groups for cross-device advertising. You may permanently object to cross-device Remarketing/Targeting by deactivating personalised advertising; for this purpose follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/. Consolidation of the collected data in your Google account is exclusively based on your consent, which you may provide or withdraw to Google (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). If data collection activities are not consolidated in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or you objected to consolidation), data collection is based on (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). The legitimate interest results from the website operator’s interest in the anonymised analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes. Please find additional information and the data protection provisions in Google’s privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de. Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking This website uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising programme of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) We use conversion tracking as part of Google Ads. A conversion tracking cookie is set you click on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files which the Web browser places on a user’s device. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for the identification of individual users. If a user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not expired, we and Google can identify that the user clicked on the ad and was forwarded to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be traced via the websites of Google Ads customers. Information that is generated with the support of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers that opted for conversion tracking. Customers are informed of the total number of users that clicked on their ad and which were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. AdWords customers do not, however, receive any information based on which users can be individually identified. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie in your Web browser’s user settings. If you do so, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. Storage of “conversion cookies” and usage of this tracking tool is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Our legitimate interest according to Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR is here in the analysis, optimisation and the economic interest in the design of our online shop. Based on these anonymous data, user profiles are created using pseudonyms. For this purpose, cookies are used, which enable recognition of an Internet browser. User profiles are, however, not matched with pseudonym data, unless the user provides his or her express consent. In particular IP addresses are made unrecognizable such that user profiles cannot be assigned to IP addresses. Collected data and created profiles are only and exclusively matched with the pseudonym, if the website visitor provided his or her explicit consent. The visitor declares his or her consent by actively clicking on the cookie banner on the start page. Visitors of this website may object to the future collection and storage of this data at any time.

The collected data is anonymous to us as the operator of this website, we cannot unmask the identity of the users. The data are, however, stored and processed by Facebook, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook may use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook-data usage policy.

Facebook pixels are used on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures under inclusion of social media. Provided a respective consent was requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing is exclusively based on Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time. Please refer to the Facebook data protection notices regarding further information for the protection of your privacy: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal. We will store your data until you unsubscribe from the Newsletter. If you unsubscribed from the Newsletter, your email address will possibly be stored in a blacklist at us or the Newsletter service provider to prevent future mailings. Data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and not matched with other data. This is in your interest and also in our interest to comply with statutory requirements regarding the distribution of Newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Storage of the blacklist is not time limited. You may object to the storage, if your interests override our legitimate interest. When you subscribe to the POLO Newsletter, you provide your consent to POLO to use the data you provided, as well as personalized user data, in order for POLO to present to you personalized advertising and / or special offerings and services.

This way it can be identified, whether a Newsletter message was opened and which links were clicked, if any. Technical information is also collected (e.g. access time, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be matched with the respective Newsletter recipient. This information is exclusively used for the statistical analysis of Newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future Newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

Data stored with us for other purposes remain unaffected.
