PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated April 5, 2024

Privacy Statement 1. Introduction

With the following information, we would like to give you as a “data subject” an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection laws. It is generally possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you wish to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.

The processing of personal data, such as your name, address, or e-mail address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to ” EAO Ltd “. By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this website is protected as completely as possible. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or post.

2. Data controller

The controller, as defined by the GDPR, is:

EAO Ltd
Highland House
Albert Drive, Burgess Hill West Sussex
RH15 9TN, United Kingdom

E-mail: sales.euk@eao.com Telephone: 01444 236 000

3. Data protection officer

Please contact our DPO via email at privacy.policies@eao.com.

The Data Protection Officer for EAO Group is: Andreas Siegemund, Datenschutz Consulting Dresden GmbH Altmarkt 10b, 01067 Dresden.

You can contact him via this FORM.

4. Legal basis of the processing

Article 6 (1) a) GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) a). The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of enquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) c) GDPR.

In rare cases, it may be necessary to process personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were injured and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Article 6 (1) d) GDPR.

Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6 (1) f) GDPR. Processing operations not based on any of the above-mentioned legal bases may be carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1) f) GDPR if processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or those of a third party, provided the interests and fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not take precedence. We are permitted to engage in such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned in European law. In this respect, the legislature took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 (2) GDPR).

5. International data exchange within the EAO Group

EAO is an internationally operational company and as such, your details will be forwarded to the appropriate EAO company, including those outside of the European Economics Association. We will only do this if we are sure that the same regulations for protecting your privacy that we adhere to also apply in that country.

6. Transmission of data to third parties

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

1. you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR, 2. the disclosure is permissible in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
3. in the event that a legal obligation exists for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) c) GDPR, as well as
4. this is legally permissible and necessary according to Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

In order to protect your data and, if necessary, to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries in accordance with Art. 49 (1) a) GDPR. This sometimes does not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR.

As part of the processing operations described in this privacy policy, personal data may be transferred to the USA. Companies in the USA only have an adequate level of data protection if they have certified themselves under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and

thus the adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR applies. We have explicitly stated this for the service providers concerned in the privacy policy. In order to protect your data in all other cases, we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.

7. Technology
7.1 SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact enquiries that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser contains “https://” instead of “http://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

7.2 Data collection when visiting the website

If you only use our website for informational purposes, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the data your browser sends our server (in what is known as “server log files”). Our website collects a range of general data and information each time you access a website or an automated system. This general data and information are stored in the servers’ log files. It may collect

1. the types and versions used,
2. the operating system used by the accessing system,
3. the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (called a referrer), 4. the sub-pages accessed via an accessing system on our website,
5. the date and time the website is accessed,
6. a truncated internet protocol address (anonymised IP address) and
7. the accessing system’s internet service provider.

No conclusions are drawn about you when using this general data and information. Instead, this information is needed

1. to properly deliver our website content,
2. to optimize the content of our website as well as to advertise it,
3. to ensure the continued functioning of our IT systems and our websites’ technology 4. as well as to provide the information necessary for law enforcement authorities to prosecute in the event of a cyber-attack.

This collected data and information is therefore statistically analyzed and further analyzed by us with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data being processed by us. The anonymous data from the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6 (1) f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is based on the purposes listed above for the collection of data.

7.3 Cloudflare (Content Delivery Network)

Our website uses functions of CloudFlare. The provider is CloudFlare, Inc. 665 3rd St. #200, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

CloudFlare offers a globally distributed content delivery network with DNS. Technically, the information transfer between your browser and our website is routed via the CloudFlare

network. CloudFlare is therefore able to analyse the data traffic between users and our websites to detect and ward off attacks on our services, for example. CloudFlare may also store cookies on your computer for optimisation and analysis purposes.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

We have concluded a corresponding agreement with Cloudflare on the basis of the GDPR for order processing or in accordance with EU standard contractual clauses. Cloudflare collects statistical data about visits to this website. The access data includes: Name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider. Cloudflare uses the log data for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and optimisation of the website.

If you have consented to the use of Cloudflare, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6(1) a) GDPR. We also have a legitimate interest in using Cloudflare to optimise our online offering and make it more secure. The corresponding legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. The personal data is stored for as long as it is required to fulfil the purpose of processing. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose.

This US company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

You can find more information about CloudFlare at: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.

7.4 Hosting by Iomart Group PLC

We host our website with iomart Group PLC. 6 Atlantic Quay, 55 Robertson Street Glasgow.

By visiting our website, your personal data is processed on the servers of Iomart Group PLC.

The use of Iomart Group PLC is based on Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in displaying our website as reliably as possible.

We have concluded an order processing contract with Iomart Group PLC. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that Iomart Group PLC processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

8. Cookies
8.1 General information on cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website.
Information generated from the specific device used is stored in cookies. This does not mean, however, that we will gain immediate knowledge of your identity.

The use of cookies helps us make it more convenient for you to use our website. For example, we use session cookies to detect whether you have already visited individual pages on our website. These are erased automatically when you leave our website.

We also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness. These cookies are stored on your device for a specific period of time. If you return to our website to use our services, cookies allow us to automatically recognize that you have visited our website previously and remember the inputs and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

We also use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and analyse it for the purpose of optimising our services. These cookies allow us to automatically recognise that you have already visited our website when you visit our website again. These cookies are automatically erased after a defined period of time.

8.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies

The data processed by cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are to safeguard our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6 (1) f) GDPR.
For all other cookies you have given your consent to this through our opt-in cookie banner in accordance with Article 6 (1) a) GDPR.

8.3 CookieYES (Consent Management Tool)

We use the consent management tool “CookieYes”, which is provided by Mozilor Limited, 3 Warren Yard, Wolverton Mill, Milton Keynes, MK12 5NW, United Kingdom. This service enables us to obtain and manage the consent of website visitors to data processing.

CookieYes collects data generated by end users who use our website. If an end user gives consent via the cookie consent tool, CookieYes automatically collects user information (including the IP address) when our website is accessed by the cookie consent tool, then transmits it to the CookieYes servers and stores it there.

The functionality of the website is not guaranteed without the processing. The “CookieConsent” cookie set by CookieYes is categorised as necessary.

CookieYes is the recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor for us. Detailed information on the use of CookieYes can be found at:

https://www.cookieyes.com/privacy-policy/

The legal basis for the described data processing is Art. 6 (1) f GDPR, which allows the processing of data to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject prevail.

9. Contents of our website 9.1 Contact / contact form

Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g. using our contact form or by email). If you use a contact form to get in touch with us, the contact form you use will indicate the data being collected. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your query or establishing contact and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for data processing is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Article 6 (1) f) GDPR. If the aim of you contacting us is to conclude a contract, processing is also legally based on Article 6 (1) b) GDPR. Your data will be erased once we have finished processing your query. This is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the relevant facts have been clarified in a conclusive manner and there are no statutory retention obligations in place that prevent its erasure.

10. Newsletter dispatch 10.1 Advertising newsletter

On our website, you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. Which personal data are transmitted to us when ordering the newsletter, results from the input mask used for this purpose.

We inform our customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about our offers. The newsletter of our company can be received by you in principle only if

1. you have a valid e-mail address and
2. you have registered for the newsletter mailing.

For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address you entered for the first time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify that you, as the owner of the email address, have authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the IT system used by you at the time of registration, as assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to track the (possible) misuse of your e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves our legal protection.

The personal data collected in the context of a registration for the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in the technical circumstances. No personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by you at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for the newsletter dispatch can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking the consent, you will find a corresponding link in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing directly on our website at any time or to inform us of this in another way.

The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending newsletters is Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.

11 Our activities in social networks

So that we can also communicate with you on social networks and inform you about our services, we are represented there with our own pages. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform for the processing operations triggered by this, within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR.

We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers.

As a precaution, we therefore point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore be associated with data protection risks for you, as it may be more difficult to protect your rights, e.g. to

information, deletion, objection, etc., and processing in the social networks often takes place directly for advertising purposes or for analysis of user behavior by the providers, without this being able to be influenced by us. If usage profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the usage behavior is assigned to your own member profile of the social networks.

The described processing operations of personal data are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to be able to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR in conjunction with. Art. 7 GDPR.

As we do not have access to the providers’ databases, we would like to point out that it is best to exercise your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. We have listed further information on the processing of your data in the social networks below at the respective social network provider used by us:

12. Web analysis 12.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (https://www.google.com/about/) (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter referred to as “Google”), on our website. As part of this, pseudonymised user profiles are created and cookies (see the section on “Cookies”) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as your browser

1. browser type/version
2. operating system
3. referrer URL (website previously visited), host
4. name of the accessing computer (IP address) and 5. time of server request,

is transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. This information is used to evaluate your use of this website, to compile reports on the website activities, and to perform further services linked to website and internet use for market research purposes and to tailor the design of this website. This information may also be sent to third parties if this is legally required or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Under no circumstances will your IP address be associated with any other data. IP addresses are anonymised so that it is not possible to assign them to individuals (known as IP masking).

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, we would point out that this may result in you not being able to use all the features of this website.

These processing operations only take place if express consent is granted in accordance with Article 6 (1) a) GDPR.

You can also prevent the data generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) from being sent to and processed by Google by downloading and installing the available browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).

As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent Google Analytics from capturing data by clicking on the following link: Deactivate Google Analytics. This sets an opt-out cookie that prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid on this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you erase the cookies stored for this browser, you will need to reset the opt-out cookie.

Additional information on data protection with respect to Google Analytics is available on the Google Analytics website in the help section (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en).

12.2 Google Analytics Remarketing

We have integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. The operating company of Google Remarketing services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street,

page8image22256128 page8image22256544 page8image22257792

Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Remarketing is a function of Google AdWords that enables a company to display adverts to Internet users who have previously visited the company’s website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows a company to create user- related adverts and consequently to display adverts relevant to the interests of the Internet user.

The purpose of Google Remarketing is to display adverts relevant to your interests. Google Remarketing enables us to display adverts via the Google advertising network or on other websites that are tailored to the individual needs and interests of internet users.

Google Remarketing places a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. By setting the cookie, Google is able to recognise the visitor to our website when they subsequently visit websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. Each time you access a website on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, your internet browser automatically identifies itself to Google. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as your IP address or surfing behaviour, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.

Cookies are used to store personal information, such as the websites you visit. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including your IP address, is therefore transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

These processing operations are only carried out if express consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.

The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

You can view the data protection provisions of Google analytics Remarketing at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

13. Plugins and other services 13.1 Google reCAPTCHA

We use the reCAPTCHA function on this website. The operating company of Google reCAPTCHA is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The main purpose of the reCAPTCHA function is to differentiate whether an entry is made by a natural person or is misused by machine and automated processing. The service also includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google.

These processing operations are only carried out if express consent has been granted in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.

The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

Further information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

13.2 Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager, a cookie-free domain that does not collect personally identifiable information.

With this tool, “website tags” (i.e. keywords that are integrated into HTML elements) can be implemented and managed via an interface. By using the Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or customised image you have actively clicked and then record which content on our website is of particular interest to you.

The tool also triggers other tags that may themselves collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have disabled it at the domain or cookie level, it will remain in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

These processing operations only take place if express consent is granted in accordance with Article 6 (1) a) GDPR.

13.3 WooCommerce WordPress plugin

We have integrated the WooCommerce plugin from Automattic Inc, 132 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA on our website.

This enables us to create a WordPress online shop with the following functions, among others:

l Create products and filter categories,
l Use of vouchers and discounts on products,
l Specification of weight, size, material, colours, etc, l Shipping settings,
l Payment settings,
l Creation of customer accounts,
l And others.

WooCommerce uses cookies to enable the usual functions of an online shop for you as a visitor. These include shopping basket cookies. This allows changes within the shopping basket to be tracked and saved so that you can be offered a pleasant shopping experience.

The plugin is fully integrated into our website. A connection to the manufacturer is not established; instead, data processing takes place exclusively on our web space.

These processing operations are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR based on our legitimate economic interest in making our services available in an online shop and thus generating sales.

All other, non-essential cookies and comparable technologies are only used with your explicit consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR GDPR.

This US company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

You can find more information about WooCommerce at: https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/.
