Anonymous Data Collection

As a general rule, you may visit the Ulla Popken website without providing us with information about your identity. We only get to know the name of your device, the name of your internet service provider, the region and the website from which you visit our website and our websites visited by you. This information is evaluated for statistical purposes. As individual user, your identity remains anonymous in this context.

Collection and Processing of Personal Data

 Our data protection practices are in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We collect and store the relevant data for our business processes (surname, first name, address, date of birth) and use these to support quick access to customer data during customer calls. As well as this, we collect the email address and, on a voluntary basis, the telephone number to be able to contact the customer for possible enquiries or to be able to send order confirmations for online purchases. We pass personal data on to specialised service providers such as call centres, delivery agents and IT service providers for the taking of orders, shipping, processing and maintaining customer data. Email packet notifications include marketing for company products from the Popken Fashion Group.
We also use the telephone number provided to make promotional pitches to inform you of our company’s interesting offers. The email address can also be used for marketing purposes if the customer has provided this in the framework of the order or when subscribing for the newsletter, and has given their permission for this. In unique cases, your address data may also be forwarded to our partner companies for marketing purposes.

The responsible entity in the sense of GDPR is Ulla Popken GmbH. Please use the contact details listed in our legal notice. Working on their behalf, Popken Fashion Services, Am Waldrand 19, 26180 Rastede, is active in the processing of data.

Targeting Service

We work together with targeting service providers for advertising and marketing purposes. The aim of this collaboration is to improve online marketing and shape it in a customer-oriented manner so that you receive offers which are relevant to you. Here of course, we adhere strictly to the applicable data protection laws. For this, we store so-called tags on our server which allow for the analysis of the use of our website by yourself and others. These tags allow information about the use of our website to be recorded and transmitted to a server operated by one of our service providers and stored there. This information is assigned an anonymous number by a cookie (see above). It is not possible to identify you or any user of your computer using this anonymised number. Our service providers use this information to advertise for us on other websites, especially in the form of banner advertisements. Here, the anonymous data is in no way connected with your personal data.

Criteo

 On our website, within the framework of a shared responsibility in the sense of Art. 26 GDPR we use the services of Criteo SA, 32 Rue Blanche, 75009 Paris.

Within the framework of the contract with Criteo, we determine the scope of the respective marketing campaign. The implementation of this marketing campaign, including the decision over which advertisements are delivered where, is then the responsibility of Criteo. For this, a code from Criteo is exported directly by Criteo to our website and so-called (re-)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as “web beacons” are integrated. With the help of these tags, an individual cookie, i. e. a small file, is saved on your device (instead of cookies other comparable technologies may also be used).

Newsletter and the recording of your user habits

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use your email address to send you regular information about our fashion offers and promotion.

The legal basis for this is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (para.1)  GDPR. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking the corresponding link in the e-mail or via our customer service team listed above."
In connection with your subscription to receive the newsletter, we will also store your IP address, the date and the time of your subscription and the confirmation so that we can retrace and prove your subscription at a later date. The legal basis for this storing of data is a legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 (para.1) f GDPR, where the legitimate interest is being able to prove the subscription.

E-mails sent by us contain so-called tracking pixels which enable statistical evaluation. This is a miniature graphic embedded in the email with the help of which we can recognise whether and when an email was opened and which links contained in the email were clicked on. Here, your IP address is also communicated to our server. However, we do not store this or any other personal data.

In order to offer you the best possible service as a customer - e.g. via internet pages, which are optimally tailored to your wishes or through personalised and individual offers in our newsletter - we record your activities on our webpages and the items placed into your baskets. We use cookies for this for analysis purposes to find out how you use our internet site, and to allow us to continually optimise our offer: we know, for example, which sites you like to look at or which items you have searched for.
We have entered into agreements with external service providers who register access to certain pages of our website with marketing campaigns to be able to create reports about page views, statistics, adverts that were clicked on and/or other browsing behaviour on our website. The data collected for this is exclusively anonymised data which only contains the number of views of certain pages of our website. Under no circumstances do we communicate the personal data of our customers to these service providers.

We have already made reference to the cookies on our website. The legal basis for the processing of personal data through the use of cookies is also the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) GDPR. If you do not agree with the use of cookies on your computer, you can delete the cookies in your browser at any time and also prevent the storing of cookies in the future. As we lack information under these circumstances, it could be the case that the functionality of our website is then restricted.
