2 Collection, Processing and Use of Personal Data

2.1 Personal data

Personal data is considered to be details concerning the material or personal circumstances of a specific or specifiable natural person. The details concerned include your name, your customer number, your telephone number and your address as well as all account data you communicate to us upon the registration and opening of your customer account. Statistical data such as that we collect from visits to our web presence cannot be connected directly with your person is not included. These statistics include for example details of those pages that are particularly popular or of the number of users visiting specific pages of our web presence.

2.2 Customer account

For each customer appropriately registering with us, we set up password-protected, direct access to his/her data records (customer account) saved by us. You undertake to treat the personal access data in the strictest confidence and not to make it accessible to unauthorized third parties. We cannot assume any liability for the misuse of passwords unless we are responsible for the misuse concerned.

2.3 Collection, processing and use of your personal data

Data protection is very important to us. We therefore comply strictly with the statutory provisions set out under the German Data Protection Act and Telemedia Act when collecting, processing and using your personal data. We collect, save and process your data for the overall handling of your purchase including any subsequent warranties, for our service provision, technical administration and our own marketing purposes. Your personal data is only forwarded to third parties or otherwise transmitted if this is required for the purpose of contract processing or accounting or has been approved in advance by you. As part of order processing activities, for example, the service providers used by us in this connection (such as forwarders, logistical specialists, banks) are given the necessary data for ordering and order processing purposes. The data thus forwarded may only be used by our service providers for fulfilling their remit. No other use of the information is permitted nor is such use made by any of the service providers we appoint.

Insofar as you have made personal data available to us, we use this exclusively for the purpose of the technical administration of our websites and for meeting your requests and needs notably for handling the contract concluded with you or for answering your inquiries.

No forwarding, sale or transmission otherwise of your personal data to third parties occurs unless this is necessary for contract processing purposes. As such it may be necessary, for example, that when products are ordered we forward your address and order data to our suppliers or if this is required for accounting purposes. Otherwise no transmission of your data occurs unless you have given your prior consent to this effect.

Deletion of your personal data occurs, insofar as this does not run counter to any statutory duty to keep data and you have asserted a deletion claim, if the data is no longer required for meeting the purpose pursued by way of the saving of the data or if the saving of the data is inadmissible for other statutory reasons.

I herewith give my consent that TUNAP processes and uses my personal data for setting up, executing and handling my contractual relationship with TUNAP.

2.4 Use of your data for advertising purposes

In addition to the processing of your data for handling your purchase from TUNAP, we also use your data to communicate with you about your orders, specific products or marketing campaigns and to send you by e-mail product and service recommendations that might interest you. Moreover, we also use this data to inform you by post about such products and services as may be of interest to you.

I herewith give my consent that TUNAP processes and uses my personal data for its own advertising purposes in order to send marketing information to me by e-mail and post.

You may revoke your consent to the use of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time without incurring any costs other than those incurred for transmission purposes in accordance with the basic tariffs applicable. Notification in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax, and letter) suffices for this.

3.2 Which cookies does TUNAP use?

Most of the cookies used by us are deleted automatically from your hard-disk drive at the end of the browser session (hence the name session cookies). Session cookies are needed for example to offer you the shopping basket function across several sites. Moreover, we also use such cookies as stay on your hard-disk drive. On your next visit, it is automatically recognized that you have already visited us together with the entries and settings you prefer. These temporary cookies and the permanent ones too (lifetime from 1 month to 10 years) are stored on your hard-disk drive and are deleted automatically after the set time. Notably these cookies serve to make our offering more user-friendly, effective and secure. Thanks to these files it is for example possible for you to be shown on the website information specifically tailored to suit your interests. The exclusive purpose of these cookies is to adapt our offering to meet customer needs in an optimum manner and to make surfing with us as convenient as possible.

3.3 Which data is stored in the cookies?

No personal data is stored in the cookies used by TUNAP. The cookies used by us cannot therefore be attributed to any specific person and thus not to you either. Upon the activation of the cookie, an identification number is allocated to it. Your personal data cannot be attributed to this identification number at any time. Your name, IP address or similar data that would enable the cookie to be attributed to you is not used at any time. On the basis of cookie technology we merely obtain anonymized information for example on the pages of our web presence that were visited, the products that were viewed, etc.

4 Log Files

Whenever TUNAP websites are accessed, usage data is transmitted via the Internet browser concerned and stored in protocol files, so-called server log files. The data records thus saved contain the following data: date and time of access, name of site accessed, IP address, referrer URL (originating URL from which you have come to access the TUNAP website), the data volume transmitted, and the product and version information of the browser used.

Subject to any statutory duty to keep data, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymized after the end of usage. When anonymized the IP addresses are changed to such an extent that individual details concerning personal or material circumstances can no longer be attributed to a specific or specifiable person or if so only by way of the disproportionate input of time, cost and effort.

These log file data records are evaluated by us in anonymized form to enable us to further improve our offering and the TUNAP web presence and make them user-friendlier, detect and correct errors faster and to control server capacities. As such we are for example able to identify the times at which usage of the TUNAP web presence is particularly popular and thus make the relevant data volume available in order to guarantee that, for example, the user’s shopping experience is as quick and convenient as possible. Moreover analysis of the protocol files enables us to identify and rectify any errors in the TUNAP web presence faster.

I herewith give my consent that TUNAP evaluates and analyzes the data saved in the so-called protocol files in order to optimize the TUNAP web presence and its usage.
