Privacy policy
We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise! Data protection is particularly important to us. For this reason, this data protection declaration provides you with detailed information about the type, scope and purpose of personal data within our online offering. But first the most important thing:
It is generally possible to use the TwinStore GmbH website without providing any personal data.
However, if you wish to contact us, it may be necessary to process personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. If further processing of personal data would be necessary and there is no direct legal basis for this, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject first.
And now in detail:
The privacy policy applies regardless of the domains, systems, platforms and devices (e.g. desktop or mobile) on which the online offer is executed.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to TwinStore GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.
As the controller, the TwinStore GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. This includes, for example, the encrypted transmission of data between your browser and our server. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.
1 | Definitions
The data protection declaration of TwinStore GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (DSGVO). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.
We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy
a) Personal Data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter „data subject“). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data Subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
d) Restriction of Processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing.
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements. As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or Controller Responsible for the Processing
The controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
j) Third Party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

4 | Cookies
Like many other websites, the TwinStore GmbH website also uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that can be used to assign websites and servers to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable or the performance may be restricted.
To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents, we use the consent tool „Real Cookie Banner“. Details on how „Real Cookie Banner“ works can be found at https://devowl.io/rcb/data-processing/.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.
The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we will not be able to manage your consents.
Through the use of cookies, the TwinStore GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
5 | Integration of Third-Party Services and Content
TwinStore GmbH uses within its online offer on the basis of its legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of the online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) content or service offers from third-party providers in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos (hereinafter uniformly referred to as „content“). This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content are aware of the IP address of the user, as they would not be able to send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. TwinStore GmbH endeavors to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as „web beacons“) for statistical or marketing purposes. Pixel tags can be used to analyze information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information about the use of our online offer, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.
6 | Google Re/Marketing Services
TwinStore GmbH uses on the basis of its legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) the marketing and remarketing services („Google Marketing Services“) of Google Inc. DSGVO) the marketing and remarketing services („Google Marketing Services“ for short) of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, („Google“).
Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law( https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active ).
Google marketing services allow TwinStore GmbH to display advertisements for and on the website in a more targeted manner in order to present users only with advertisements that potentially match their interests. If, for example, a user is shown ads for products that they have shown an interest in on other websites, this is referred to as „remarketing“. For these purposes, when this and other websites on which Google marketing services are active are accessed, Google directly executes a code from Google and so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as „web beacons“) are integrated into the website. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the user’s device (comparable technologies can also be used instead of cookies). The cookies can be set by various domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. This file records which websites the user has visited, what content they are interested in and which offers they have clicked on, as well as technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information about the use of the online offer. The IP address of the user is also recorded, whereby we inform you in the context of Google Analytics that the IP address is shortened within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases is it transmitted in full to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address is not merged with the user’s data within other Google offers. Google may also combine the aforementioned information with such information from other sources. If the user subsequently visits other websites, they can be shown ads tailored to their interests.
User data is processed pseudonymously as part of Google marketing services. This means that Google does not store and process the user’s name or email address, for example, but processes the relevant data in relation to cookies within pseudonymous user profiles. This means that, from Google’s perspective, the ads are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie owner, regardless of who this cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has expressly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The information collected by Google marketing services about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google’s servers in the USA.
The Google marketing services used by TwinStore GmbH include the online advertising program „Google AdWords“. In the case of Google AdWords, each AdWords customer receives a different „conversion cookie“. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected with the help of the cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.
TwinStore GmbH can integrate third-party advertisements on the basis of the Google marketing service „DoubleClick“. DoubleClick uses cookies that enable Google and its partner websites to place ads based on users‘ visits to this website or other websites on the Internet.
TwinStore GmbH can integrate third-party advertisements on the basis of the Google marketing service „AdSense“. AdSense uses cookies that enable Google and its partner websites to place ads based on users‘ visits to this website or other websites on the Internet.
TwinStore GmbH may also use the „Google Optimizer“ service. Google Optimizer makes it possible to track the effects of various changes to a website (e.g. changes to input fields, design, etc.) as part of so-called „A/B testing“. Cookies are stored on users‘ devices for these test purposes. Only pseudonymous user data is processed.
TwinStore GmbH may also use the „Google Tag Manager“ to integrate and manage Google analysis and marketing services on its website.
Further information on the use of data for marketing purposes by Google can be found on the overview page: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads, Google’s privacy policy is available at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.
If you wish to object to interest-based advertising by Google marketing services, you can use the setting and opt-out options provided by Google: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences.
7 | Collection of General Data and Information
The website of the TwinStore GmbH collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website can be recorded, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol (IP) address, (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 (1) DSGVO, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of the TwinStore GmbH.
g) Right to Object
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1)DSGVO.

If the TwinStore GmbH ever uses personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising.

11 | Data Protection for Applications and in the Application Process
The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via the job market associated with the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller stand in the way of deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the Allgemeinen Gleichbehandlungsgesetz (AGG).
12 | Data Protection Provisions about the Application and Use of MATOMO
The controller has integrated the MATOMO component on this website. MATOMO is an open source software tool for web analysis. Web analysis is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis tool collects data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (a so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website.
The software is operated on the server of the controller, and the log files, which are sensitive under data protection law, are stored exclusively on this server.
The purpose of the MATOMO component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. The controller uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of this website in order to compile internal reports that show the activities on our website.
MATOMO places a cookie on the data subject’s system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, we are able to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, the Internet browser on the data subject’s system is automatically prompted by the MATOMO component to transmit data to our server for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, we obtain knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject (partially anonymized), which serves us, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks.
Cookies are used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address (partially anonymized) of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to our server. This personal data is stored by us. We do not pass this personal data on to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent MATOMO from placing a cookie on the data subject’s system. In addition, a cookie already set by MATOMO can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by MATOMO relating to the use of this website. To do this, the data subject must set an opt-out cookie. If the data subject’s IT system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must set an opt-out cookie again.
With the setting of the opt-out cookie, however, there is the possibility that the Internet pages of the controller are no longer fully usable for the data subject.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of MATOMO may be retrieved under https://matomo.org/privacy-policy/.
13 | Legal Basis of the Processing
Art. 6 I lit. a DSGVO 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 performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b DSGVO. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries 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 fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DSGVO.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and their name, age, health insurance data 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 Art. 6 I lit. d DSGVO.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DSGVO. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 DSGVO).
14 | Legitimate Interests in the Processing Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f DSGVO, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
15 | Duration for which the Personal Data is Stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After this period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract.
16 | Legal or Contractual Provisions for the Provision of Personal Data; Necessity for the Conclusion of the Contract; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide the Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Non-Provision
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences would be if the personal data were not provided.
17 | Existence of Automated Decision-Making
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
