§ 3 General information on data processing
(3.1) Scope of the processing of personal data
As a matter of principle, we only process personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our contents and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which obtaining prior consent is not possible for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.
(3.2) Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of precontractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
(3.3) Data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a necessity for the continued storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
(3.4) Note on data transfer to unsafe third countries
Among other things, tools from companies based in the USA are integrated on our website. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country in the sense of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities. However, appropriate data protection agreements have been concluded with the service providers and, since July 2023, the United States has also been certified as having an adequate level of data protection in the European Union. To do this, US companies must submit to the Data Privacy Framework, which many of our US partners already use.
(3.5) Declaration of consent according to §25 para. 1 TTDSG
Depending on your consent, we use various tools on our website that process your data. Insofar as we base data processing on your declaration of consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and inform you about the purpose and mode of action of the declaration of consent in our data protection declaration, your consent also applies within the meaning of §25 para. 1 TTDSG.
Please refer to the data protection declaration to find out which cookies, plug-ins and other data processing tools are used.
§ 4 Provision of the website and creation of log files ("informational use")
(4.1) Description and scope of data processing
Each time you visit our website (i.e. even if you only use our website for informational purposes), our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer. Your internet browser therefore transmits usage data, which is stored in log files (so-called server log files). The data records stored contain the following data:
- Browser type/version of the user,
- Operating system of the user,
- Unit identifier
- IP address/Internet service provider of the user ,
- Date/time of access,
- Websites from which the user's system accesses our website (Refferer URL)
- Websites that are accessed by the user's system via our website.
- http reply code
The data is stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
(4.2) Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
(4.3) Purpose of the data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
These purposes are also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
(4.4) Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.
(4.5) Possibility of objection and removal
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.
§ 5 Use of cookies
(5.1) Description, scope and purpose of data processing
(5.1.1) Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user's computer system. When a user calls up a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system.

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the ETERNA online shop by providing data about which web pages or search terms bring users to our online shop, how long they typically stay on our pages, or how many sub-pages they view on average. We use this data to improve the content of our websites and to compile statistics on the performance of our websites for internal market analysis purposes. This data does not allow any direct conclusions to be drawn about your person. All the data we collect is only processed in aggregated form.
- Marketing and retargeting cookies
These technologies are used by advertisers to serve content and ads that are relevant to you and your interests. This allows you to shop for your favourite products via ads from anywhere - for example, via search engines and on social networks. Marketing and retargeting cookies help us and our (advertising) partners to provide personalised advertising and limit the frequency with which you are shown an advertisement. They also help us to assess the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
(5.1.2) Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include, in particular, session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session. This enables your computer to be recognised when you return to the website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.
(5.1.3) Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a predefined period of time, which may differ depending on the cookie. The maximum storage period of cookies set by ETERNA is 60 days. You can delete the cookies in the security settings of your browser at any time.
(5.2) We use the Usercentrics service of Usercentrics GmbH, Rosental 4, 80331 Munich, Germany ("User-centrics") to comply with our obligations under data protection law, in particular to manage and control automated data processing and consent under data protection law. This service helps us to obtain consents for cookies and tracking as required by law. When you visit our website, the Usercentrics script is automatically loaded. On your first visit, a window opens (so-called "cookie banner") in which you can give your consent to the use of cookies in general or make user-defined settings. Usercentrics saves this selection and then loads further cookies according to your consent or other legal basis. On further visits, the cookie banner will no longer open, but Usercentrics will immediately load the cookies according to your selection on the first visit. You can change this selection at any time under "Cookie settings" in the lower area of our website (so-called footer) with effect for the future. You can also change the cookie settings under Cookie Settingsview.
Usercentrics collects the date and time of your visit, device information, browser information, your anonymised IP address and information about your selection in the privacy settings. Insofar as this data allows conclusions to be drawn about you personally, Usercentrics does not use it for its own purposes and processes it exclusively in the European Union. Further information on data protection at Usercentrics is available at https://usercentrics.com/de/datenschutzerklaerung/.
The legal basis for the use of Usercentrics is Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR, as the use is necessary to comply with our legal obligations regarding data protection, in particular the GDPR.
(5.3) Further legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data at using cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR . Our legitimate interest in processing your personal data also lies in the purposes described above.
(5.4) Possibility of objection and removal
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from it to our site. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your internet browser as well as under " Cookie settings " in the lower area of our website (so-called footer) or under Cookie Settings. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.

§ 6 Data processing in the ETERNA online shop
(6.1) If you wish to order something from the ETERNA online shop, you have the choice of providing your data required for the order only once for this order (guest order) or whether you wish to create a password-protected customer account in which your data is stored for subsequent further purchases.
(6.2) Guest order
(6.2.1) Description and scope of data processing
Your personal data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and stored. For your order as a guest, we require the following personal data as "mandatory data":
- Salutation
- First name,
- Last name,
- Street, house number, postcode, city, country (billing or delivery address),
- Date of birth,
- E-mail address,
- Data about the order.
It is not possible to place an order without providing the fields marked as mandatory. Furthermore, we store the IP address of the user as well as the date and time of access.
(6.2.2) Legal basis for data processing
The data processing is carried out in response to your order and is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b) GDPR for the processing of your order or for the fulfilment of the obligations resulting from the concluded purchase contract.
(6.2.3) Purpose of the data processing
The collection of this data takes place,
- to be able to identify you as our customer;
- in order to be able to process, fulfil and handle your order;
- to be able to conduct correspondence with you;
- for invoicing;
- for the settlement of any existing liability claims, as well as the assertion of any claims against you.
We need your date of birth to ensure clear identification of the customer or the customer data. You must also be at least 18 years old to place an order in the ETERNA Online Shop.
If you have selected purchase on account as a payment method, your date of birth will also be passed on to our service provider for credit assessment purposes.
As ETERNA will send you an access or order confirmation by e-mail, it is also necessary to provide your e-mail address.
(6.2.4) Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case for the data stored for the fulfilment of the purchase contract when the data is no longer required for the execution of the contract. Even after the conclusion of the contract, it may be necessary to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations. The personal data collected by us for the processing of your order will therefore be stored until the expiry of the legal obligation to keep records and then deleted, unless we are required by Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c) GDPR, we are obliged to store the data for a longer period of time due to tax and commercial law retention and documentation obligations (from HGB, StGB or AO), you have consented to additional storage according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) GDPR or a justified interest according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR is given.
(6.3) Data processing in connection with the customer account
(6.3.1) Description and scope of data processing
(6.3.1.1) Registration
On our website (in particular also in the context of an order process of our online shop), we offer users the opportunity to register with a customer account by providing personal data (so-called "basic data") and also to participate in the bonus programme. The data is entered, transmitted and stored in an input mask.
The following basic data is collected as mandatory information as part of the registration process:
- Salutation
- First name,
- Last name,
- Street, house number, postcode, city, country,
- E-mail address,
- Password.
Online registration is not possible without providing this basic data. We also store the user's IP address and the date and time of access. If you have decided to voluntarily provide a title or telephone number, these will also be stored.
By sending the digital application form, you initiate the creation of a personalised password-protected customer account . Following registration, a confirmation email is sent, which completes the creation of the customer account. A further confirmation is not necessary.
(6.3.2) Data collection after registration
Once you have registered, your personal customer number will be assigned and the medium of your registration will also be saved. In addition, the purchases you have made (date, article, article number, clothing size, quantity, price, currency, type of transaction) are registered and the resulting loyalty points (booking type (e.g. purchase), booking date, total number) are saved.
In addition, we collect and store your other voluntary information that you provide in your customer account, e.g. your preferences ("SHIRTID").
(6.4) Legal basis for data processing
By registering with your customer account, you have consented to the processing of your data, which is why the legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) GDPR. Furthermore, the processing of the data you have provided is necessary for the implementation of the customer loyalty programme, so that Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b) GDPR constitutes an additional legal basis for the processing of the data.
(6.5) Purpose of the data processing
The data collected is necessary for the implementation of the customer loyalty programme. Your name and date of birth are used to verify that you are of age and for identification purposes. The e-mail address or postal address you provide will be used for sending the vouchers and for regular information about your current points balance or about special promotions in connection with the bonus programme (including double or extra points). The registration of your purchases made and the resulting loyalty points is the basis of the voucher dispatch.
Via the customer account you can view the data of your completed, open or even recently shipped orders as well as correct/manage the data you provided during registration.
(6.6) Duration of data processing
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case for the data collected during the registration process when the registration is cancelled or modified.
(6.7) Right of withdrawal; removal claim
In order to delete the registration or to change the data stored about you, you can contact us by e-mail at service@eterna.de or send a message (e.g. fax or letter) to the ETERNA contact details given in § 1.
(6.8) CRM system from Salesforce
(6.8.1) The personal data collected from you in connection with the registration in the customer account will be transferred to the CRM system ("Customer-Relationship-Management") of the cloud provider Salesforce (salesforce.com Germany GmbH, Erika-Mann-Str. 31, 80636 Munich, Germany; "Salesforce") and managed there. You can view Salesforce's privacy policy here: https://www.salesforce.com/de/company/privacy/. Further information on the GDPR can be found at https://www.salesforce.com/de/campaign/gdpr/. Of course, an order processing agreement has been concluded between ETERNA and Salesforce.
(6.8.2) Although Salesforce has a branch in Germany, its headquarters are in the USA. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the above-mentioned data will be transferred to the USA. Further information on certification can be found at the following link: https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome.
(6.8.3) The processing of your data by Salesforce is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR (as you have registered with a customer account and thus consented) and Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR ("processing for the fulfilment of the bonus programme").
(6.8.4) You have the option to revoke your consent to data processing or to object to data processing at any time. As already explained under (6.7), you have the option to delete the registration of the customer account at any time and thus object to the further use of your data.
(6.9) SHIRTID
You have the option of creating a SHIRTID in your customer account and saving your product preferences. You can view the available products in our online shop without any obligation or have them conveniently sent to you by e-mail. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
The following details are saved: fit, size, sleeve length, cuff, collar shape, favourite colour and favourite pattern.
You can change or delete the SHIRTID at any time in your customer account.

Further details can be found under §8 of this data protection notice
(7.2) Shipping service provider

This information is only passed on if it is necessary for the delivery of the goods. In this case, prior coordination of the delivery date with the shipping service provider or notification of delivery is not possible.

§ 8 Data transmission for address validation and verification as well as credit assessment
For the purpose of address validation and verification, personal data will be transmitted to GFKL PayProtect GmbH, Am Europa-Center 1b, 45145 Essen.
For the purpose of credit assessment, personal data will be transmitted to infoscore Consumer Data GmbH, Rheinstr. 99, 76532 Baden-Baden.
(8.1) Address validation and verification
(8.1.1) Description and scope of data processing
For the purpose of address validation and address verification, the data entered in ETERNA's online shop will be processed during the order process.
- Street,
- House number,
- Postcode,
- the place as well as the
- Country
to GFKL PayProtect GmbH, Am Europa-Center 1b, 45145 Essen.
(8.1.2) Legal basis for the processing
The address validation and verification serves to fulfil the purchase contract concluded with us, as this is used to check whether the ordered goods can be delivered at all to the address specified during the order process. In this respect, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b) GDPR constitutes a legal basis. Another legal basis for this form of data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
(8.1.3) Purpose of the data processing
This address validation and verification serves to check whether the goods ordered by you can be delivered to the address provided at all. This is also our legitimate interest. Furthermore, this is also in your interest, as such a comparison of the address detects any input errors in the address you provided during the order process and you can correct this as a result.
(8.1.4) Right of objection
You can object to the transmission of this data to GFKL PayProtect GmbH at any time.
(8.2) Credit assessment for "purchase on account" (only DE, CH, AT, NL, BE)
(8.2.1) Description and scope of data processing
ETERNA also offers "invoice" as a payment method. If you choose this payment method during the ordering process, ETERNA will transmit the necessary personal data to a carefully selected service provider for the purpose of a credit check. The transmission of personal data will only take place after the aforementioned address validation and address verification and will only take place if you select the "invoice" payment method. In this way, ETERNA prevents potential bad debt losses and possible misuse associated with "purchase on account".
When selecting the payment method "invoice", ETERNA obtains a credit report based on mathematical-statistical methods using address data in order to protect its legitimate interests. ETERNA obtains the information required for this from infoscore Consumer Data GmbH, Rheinstr. 99, 76532 Baden-Baden. (in AT: Credify Informationssysteme GmbH, Gumpendorfer Straße 21, 1060 Vienna), (in NL: Experian Netherlands B.V., Grote Markstraat 49, NL-2511 BH Den Haag), (in CH: CRIF AG Hagenholzstrasse 81, 8050 Zurich, Switzerland.), (in BE: Focum, situé à Bellevue 3, 9050, Gent, Belgique).
For this purpose, ETERNA shall transmit the personal data required for a credit assessment, i.e.
- Name,
- Address
On the basis of this information, a statistical probability of a credit default is calculated and the decision on the further implementation of the contractual relationship is made on this basis. Your interests worthy of protection are taken into account in accordance with the legal provisions.
If the credit check is positive, an order on account is possible. If the credit check is negative, our shop system will not offer you payment on account.
(8.2.2) internal scoring
In cases where the customer wishes to order from ETERNA using an unsecure method of payment, ETERNA shall be entitled to use information obtained in the course of the order or the ongoing customer relationship to calculate a probability of default (internal scoring). For example, if a certain reminder level is reached, purchase on account can no longer be offered.
(8.2.3) Fraud prevention
The data provided as part of your order may be used by ETERNA to check whether an atypical order transaction has occurred (e.g. simultaneous ordering of a large number of goods to the same address using different customer accounts). In principle, ETERNA has a legitimate interest in carrying out such a check (e.g. avoiding payment defaults/identity theft).
(8.2.4) Legal basis for processing
The collection, storage and forwarding is therefore carried out for the purpose of checking creditworthiness in order to avoid a payment default and on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR and Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
(8.2.5) Purpose of the data processing

The use of this data takes place in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assignment to a user.
(10.3.3) The newsletters and product information emails contain a so-called "web beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the Salesforce server when the email is opened.
