2. Scope of this Privacy Notice
This Privacy Notice provides you with an overview of how Zalando Marketing Services GmbH (hereinafter “ZMS”) processes your data. It applies to all websites operated by ZMS in its own name. For the avoidance of doubt, it does not apply to the processing of personal data by Zalando SE; please refer to Zalando SE’s privacy notice.


3. Websites

When using the website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not provide us with information, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server. If you view our Website, we collect the following data:
· IP address
· Date and time of the request
· Content of the request (specific page URL, but not the content of the page as such)
· Access status/HTTP status code
· Web page where the user was referred from (“referer”)
· Information about the operating system and browser software
· Preferred language setting and screen resolution

This data will be processed by us for the following purposes:
· Provision of the website
· evaluation of system security and stability
· compile aggregated, anonymous usage statistics that serve to improve the website

This data may only be personally identifiable via the IP address. Depending on your way of access to the Internet, the IP address may be completely anonymous, or your access provider stores the assignment of a dynamic IP address to you. In the latter case, combining the above-mentioned data with that of your access provider can eventually make a connection between you personally and the above-mentioned data. However, we will only initiate this if this is appropriate in individual cases for the purposes of legal prosecution, and we will otherwise only cooperate in this if this is ordered by competent authorities or courts in individual cases.
The legal basis for the provision of the website is the Performance of Contract.
For the other purposes, the legal basis is the Legitimate Interest in keeping the website and the underlying systems secure, and to improve the usability and performance of the website. For these purposes, the IP address will be anonymized (by truncation of the last octet) at the earliest possible point in time. Under no circumstances do we use this data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about you personally.
The data will be stored until the end of the calendar month following use and then be deleted or anonymized (unless required in individual cases for the purpose of legal prosecution) within two working days.

 

4. Information Stored on your Device (Cookies etc.) and tag manager technologies

4.1. Cookies

4.1.1. Cookies in General

When you use the website, we eventually use technologies to store information on your device. We refer to these technologies as “cookies”, while, for the purpose of this Privacy Notice, this also includes functionally similar technologies (e.g. HTML5 storage objects). Our web server supplying the website can store cookies on your computer or mobile device, respectively. The cookie data are then transmitted back if your computer or mobile device requests information from our servers, so that cookie data can be processed in order to provide the requested information.
If you use the website, you can inspect the cookies in your internet browser. You can also adjust your browser settings to accept cookies or not. Also, we ask you whether or not you want to accept cookies on our Website (your choice is stored in a cookie).

4.1.2. Session Cookie

We use a session cookie that is non-persistent (i.e. will be deleted automatically if you close your browser); this cookie is technically necessary to operate the website, and you cannot opt-out from this cookie. It is a first-party cookie (i.e. a cookie that is only functional towards our servers).

4.1.3. Google Analytics

If you give us Consent for doing so, we will use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we do use IP anonymization in connection with Google Analytics, so your IP address will be shortened by Google within Europe before this happens. Only in exceptional cases (technical failover) will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website by you, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide further services to us in connection with the use of the website. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement with Google for this activity.
Google’s privacy policy can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy

You can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout ; furthermore, you also have the option of preventing future collection of your data when visiting this website by using the following opt-out cookie: Disable Google Analytics; these possibilities to opt-out from Google Analytics data collection do on no way limit your right to withdraw your consent towards us.

4.1.4. LinkedIn Analytics and LinkedIn Ads

If you give us Consent for doing so, we use conversion tracking technology on our website and the retargeting feature of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Irland (“LinkedIn”). LinkedIn is an affiliate of LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, and data processing in this context is eventually carried out in the USA.
This technology allows visitors to this site to see personalized ads on the LinkedIn social network. It also provides the ability to generate anonymous reports on ad performance and website interaction information. LinkedIn Insight tag is embedded in this website, which connects to the LinkedIn server when you visit this website and are logged into your LinkedIn account.
Please see the LinkedIn privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy for more information about data collection and use, and the choices and rights you have to protect your privacy.

Under the following link you can object to data-based advertising via Linkedin:

If you are logged in to LinkedIn, you can deactivate the collection of data at any time by following this link:
https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/enhanced-advertising .
These possibilities to opt-out from LinkedIn personalized advertising do on no way limit your right to withdraw your consent towards us.

4.2. Google Tag Manager

This website uses the Google Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed through an interface. Google Tag Manager only implements tags, but does not set cookies and does not collect any personal information. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags that may collect personal information. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this information. Any cookies or tracking disabled at domain or cookie level will remain disabled even when implemented with Google Tag Manager.


5. Contact Form and E-Mail

When you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, we will store and process your e-mail address and, if you provide it, your name and telephone number in order to respond to your message.
We will restrict the processing of the data arising in this context after processing is no longer necessary. Your message and our response will further be stored in order to fulfill legal obligations (German trade and tax laws, §§ 257 HGB, 147 AO) for the duration of six full years, and afterward be deleted.

 

6. Data Transfers (including third-country transfers)

6.1 Data Transfers to Google and LinkedIn
As described in Section 6 above, we transfer data to LinkedIn and Google, respectively, if you have given us consent to do so. The data may eventually be processed in the United States of America. Both LinkedIn and Google have self-certified and subscribed to the EU-US Privacy Shield Program for providing an adequate level of protection of personal data.

6.2. Service Providers

We use various service providers for the technical hosting of this website and the processing of e-mail messages and other information. We have concluded Data Processing Agreements with all of such service providers.
