Vollmer Kaffee also uses these data in anonymised form – in other words, without being able to identify the user – for statistical purposes and to improve the websites. The processing of personal usage data is lawful under Article 6(1) subparagraph 1 f) GDPR.

    2. How are cookies used?

      Vollmer Kaffee websites use cookies. Cookies are small text files which ar e stored on the user’s data carriers and which exchange certain settings and data via the browser with the Vollmer Kaffee system. A cookie usually contains the name of the domain from which the cookie data have been sent as well as information about how old the cookie is and an alphanumerical identification sign. Cookies enable Vollmer Kaffee to design the website for the user accordingly and make it easier to use the website by storing certain entries in such a way that they do not have to be entered again. The information stored in the cookies is not used to identify the user and is not combined with other personal data concerning the user which have been stored. The processing of personal data using cookies is lawful under Article 6(1) subparagraph 1 f) GDPR.

      You can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing your browser settings. Cookies which have already been stored may be erased at any time. This can be done automatically. If cookies for Vollmer Kaffee websites are disabled, it may no longer be possible to use all the functions which the websites provide.

      COOKIE SETTINGS

      Technically necessary cookies:
      A “session cookie” is necessary for the correct operation of the page. This is automatically deleted when the session (or browser) is closed. This cookie is always set.

      Analysis and tracking:
      In order to constantly improve our website, we would like to use the following scripts from third party providers (Google Analytics, see below). You can authorise this by allowing all cookies. Only then will the corresponding scripts be loaded and activated.

    3. How is Google Analytics used?

      Vollmer Kaffee websites also use the functions provided by Google Analytics web analysis service. This service is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics also uses cookies. The information about the way you use this website created by the cookie is usually sent to and stored on a Google server in the USA. Vollmer Kaffee websites use Google Analytics with the “anonymize IP” extension. This means that the user’s IP address which is recorded by Google is truncated in Member States of the European Union or in other state parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is sent to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to and only then truncated on a Google server in the USA.

      Google uses the information produced by the Google Analytics cookie on behalf of Vollmer Kaffee to evaluate the way in which the website is used, to produce reports on website activities and to provide other services to Vollmer Kaffee relating to use of the website and the Internet. The IP address sent by the accessing system’s browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data held by Google. More information about the terms of use and data protection is available at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html The processing of personal data using cookies is lawful under Article 6(1) subparagraph 1 a) GDPR.

      The user can also prevent the data relating to the use of the website which is captured by the cookie being sent to Google or processed by Google by installing the available browser plug-in at the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

      Vollmer Kaffee does, however, point out that this may mean that not all the functions of the website can then be used. The user can also prevent data being collected by Google Analytics by going to the following link. In this case an opt-out cookie is set which prevents the user’s data being collected the next time Vollmer Kaffee websites are visited: Disable Google Analytics. Users can also change the browser settings to disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies which have already been stored can be erased again at any time. This can be done automatically. If cookies for Vollmer Kaffee websites are disabled, it may no longer be possible to use all the functions which the websites provide. If a user wishes only to accept cookies from Vollmer Kaffee and not from Vollmer Kaffee service providers and partners, the user can select the “Block third-party cookies” (or similar) browser settings.

    4. What happens if I subscribe to a newsletter?

      4.1.Users can subscribe to a newsletter at the website www.vollmer-kaffee.de and can consent to the requisite processing of personal data. The user must provide his or her e-mail address in order to subscribe to the newsletter. Any other data is only provided voluntarily. Our Vollmer newsletter provides information every three months about new developments in the company, projects with business partners and new product creations. The recorded data are only used to send the newsletter. The processing of the data is lawful under Article 6(1) subparagraph 1 a) GDPR. The user has the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing completed on the basis of consent up to the point of withdrawal. In this case the user will no longer receive the newsletter.

      4.2. Registrations to our newsletter are made by means of the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after you have subscribed you are sent an e-mail in which you are asked to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary to ensure that nobody is able to register using other peoples’ e-mail addresses. Newsletter subscriptions are recorded as evidence that the legal requirements have been met. Upon registration the IP address of the accessing system as well as the date and time of registration and e-mail verification are logged. These data are processed solely for the purpose of determining whether an e-mail address is possibly being misused. The processing of the data referred to above is lawful under Article 6(1) subparagraph 1 f) GDPR.

      The newsletter is sent by the e-mail marketing service provider “MailChimp”, a newsletter mailing platform of the U.S. provider Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. The e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients and other data recorded for their subscription are stored on MailChimp servers in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. MailChimp also states that it may use these data to optimise or improve its own service, i.e. by technically optimising the sending and presentation of the newsletter or for business purposes to determine which countries recipients are from. MailChimp does not, however, use the data relating to recipients of our newsletter to contact such users itself nor does it pass on such data to third parties.

      We trust in MailChimp’s reliability, IT and data security. MailChimp is certified under the US-EU data protection “Privacy Shield” and is thereby committed to compliance with EU data protection regulations. We have also concluded a “Data Processing Agreement” with MailChimp. Under this contract MailChimp undertakes to protect our users’ data, to process them on our behalf in accor dance with the data protection provisions in the contract and, in particular, not to disclose such data to third parties. The MailChimp data privacy rules can be read here.

      In some cases newsletter recipients are redirected to MailChimp websites. For example, our newsletters contain a link from which the recipient can download the newsletter (e.g. if the recipient has problems viewing the newsletter in the e-mail programme). Recipients of newsletters can also correct their data, e.g. their e-mail address. The MailChimp data privacy policy is also only available on its website. In this connection please note that cookies are used on MailChimp websites and in this way personal data are processed by MailChimp, its partners and service providers (e.g. Google Analytics). We have no influence on the collection of these data. More information is available in MailChimp’s data privacy policy. Please also note that you can object to data being collected on websites for marketing purposes http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and http://www.youronlinechoices.com (for the European area).

      4.3. The subscribed newsletter also contains tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic which is embedded in e-mails in HTML format. Vollmer Kaffee can tell from the embedded tracking pixel whether and when the newsletter has been opened by the recipient and which links in the newsletter have been used. Data which are collected by tracking pixels in the newsletters are stored and processed anonymously for statistical purposes in order to optimise dispatch of the newsletter and to adapt the content of future newsletters better to the interests of recipients.

    5. How long will my personal data be stored for?

      Unless longer periods of storage are required by law, personal data concerning visitors to our website are erased if such data are no longer required for the purposes described in this data privacy statement. Usage data are regularly stored for a period of 30 days. Data entered in contact forms are erased as soon as the relevant inquiry has been dealt with. We store the data used to order newsletters until subscribers unsubscribe.
