2. Which data we collect and process

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which allows the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

a) server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

Browser type and browser version
used operating system
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
A merge of this data with other data sources will not be done.

b) contract data

We collect, process and store the data you provide when you order from us. In addition, we store and process data about the order and payment history.

c) contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored in order to process the request and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent.

The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The information you provide in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or delete the purpose for data storage (for example, after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

d) registration on this website

You can register on our website to use additional features on the site. We only use the data entered for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be given in full. Otherwise, we will reject the registration.

For important changes, such as the scope of the offer or for technical changes, we use the e-mail address specified during registration to inform you in this way.

The processing of the data entered during registration takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the already completed data processing remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data collected during registration will be stored by us as long as you are registered on our website and will subsequently be deleted. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

e) log data

When you visit our website or use our services, the device that you use to access the page automatically transmits log data (connection data) to our servers. This is especially the case when you order when you log in. Log information includes the IP address of the device used to access the website or service, the type of browser you access, the website you have previously visited, your system configuration, and the date and time information. We store IP addresses only to the extent necessary to provide our services. Otherwise, the IP addresses are deleted or anonymized. We store your IP address when visiting our website for a maximum of 7 days to detect and ward off attacks.

• Facebook Pixel
We use the Facebook pixel from Facebook on our website. We have implemented a code for this on our website.

For example, when you purchase a product on our website, the Facebook pixel is triggered and stores your actions on our website in one or more cookies. These cookies enable Facebook to compare your user data (customer data such as IP address, user ID) with the data from your Facebook account. Then Facebook deletes this data again. The data we collect is anonymous and cannot be viewed by us and can only be used in the context of advertising. If you are a Facebook user yourself and logged in, a visit to our website is automatically assigned to your Facebook user account. Alternatively, you can prevent Facebook from collecting data about you on this website by clicking on this link (https://glowdrill.de/?disableFBP=true).

Such processing operations are particularly allowed to us because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. A legitimate interest is usually to be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the person responsible.
