Babbel GmbH Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal data is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from babbel-giftshop.com (the “Site”). Responsible for data processing in regards of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on this Site is Babbel GmbH, Andreasstraße 72
10243 Berlin (“we”, “us”, “Babbel”). Further information you can find at the imprint.
PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including data about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”
The stored Device Information does not allow any direct inference to your person and will be made anonymous after a certain period of time. Only in a few exceptional cases do we refrain from this (e.g. in order to be able to trace attacks on our systems or abusive registrations).
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
- “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.
Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain data from you, including your name, billing address, shipping details, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. We refer to this data as “Order Information.”
When we talk about “Personal Data” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information. If the purpose is the execution of a contract agreed with you or the provision of a service requested by you, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. Otherwise, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO, whereby our legitimate interests lie in the below-mentioned purposes.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
- Communicate with you;
- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
- When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
