Privacy policy

The protection of your privacy and your private information is one of our top priorities. To this end, it is very important to us that we adhere to all data protection regulations and process your data transparently. Below we describe the retrieval of personally identifiable information when you use our website. Personally identifiable information is all information that pertains to an identified or identifiable natural person, e.g. name, address, e-mail address, IP address, user behaviour.

The responsible party as per Art. 4 para. 7 EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the company named below (hereafter "we/us" or "Takko"). The contact for questions about this privacy policy is the company's data protection officer.

We solely use your personally identifiable information within our own company, including affiliated companies (in particular Takko Fashion GmbH) to fulfil the services you request. Personally identifiable information requested for the purposes of the online service is transmitted via SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption. The SSL-secured area of the website is recognisable by the usage of the https standard in the address bar of your browser.

Furthermore, we do not forward the information to third parties without your consent, especially not for advertising purposes. Transmission of your personally identifiable information only occurs if you have consented to such a transmission or if we are so authorised or obligated due to legal regulations and/or official or judicial decree. In particular such cases may concern the disclosure of information for purposes of criminal prosecution, risk prevention, or implementation of intellectual property rights.

You can assert the following rights to Takko with regard to your personally identifiable information:

• Right to disclosure,
• Right to correction,
• Right to deletion,
• Right to limitation of processing,
• Right to transferability of data,
• Right to decline processing

You also have the right to file a complaint about Takko's processing of your personally identifiable information to a data protection supervisory authority. You can find the North Rhine-Westphalia state office for data protection and freedom of information at the following link: (https://www.ldi.nrw.de/).

If you have consented to the processing of your data, you may revoke this consent at any time. Such a revocation will affect the reliability of the processing of your personally identifiable information after you have declared this revocation to us.

If our processing of your personally identifiable information is based on the consideration of interests as per Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR, you may file an objection to this processing. This is the case if said processing is not required, especially to fulfil a contract with you. When exercising an objection we ask that you state the reasons why we should not process your personally identifiable information in the way that we have done so. In the event that your objection is justified we will assess the matter and will either suspend or adjust the data processing, or disclose to you our mandatory, defendable reasons as to why we will continue with the processing.

Of course, you may always object to the processing of your personal information for advertising and data analysis purposes. You may inform us of your objection to processing for advertising via the contact information provided in this privacy policy.

4.2 Cookies

In addition to the data specified above, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files that are categorised and stored on your hard drive by your browser, and through which certain information passes to the location that sets the cookie (here, by us). Cookies cannot run any programmes or transfer viruses to your com-puter. They serve to make the internet service more user-friendly and effective in general.
This website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and functionality of which are explained below:
Temporary cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These include session cookies in particular. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be allocated to the entire session. This lets your computer recognise a return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.
Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a set period, which may vary from cookie to cookie. You can delete the cookies at any time in your browser's security settings.
You can configure your browser setting in accordance with your wishes. For example, you may accept third-party cookies or decline all cookies. We must note that you may not be able to utilise all functions of our website.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called cookies, text files that are stored on your computer and that facilitate analysis of your usage of the website. The information about your usage of this website created by the cookie is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In the event of activation of IP anonymisation on this website, however, Google will truncate your IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other member states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the complete IP address be transferred to Google server in the USA and truncated there. At the order of the administrator of this website Google will use this information to evaluate your usage of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to render other services associated with website and internet usage for the website administrator.

The IP address transmitted from your browser for Google Analytics is not consolidated with other data by Google.

You can prevent the storage of cookies through a corresponding setting in your browser software; however, we must note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full potential. Furthermore, you may prevent the documentation of the data created by the cookie and pertaining to your usage of the website (including your IP address) for Google as well as the processing of this information by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". With this, IP addresses are truncated before processing, and there is thus no association with a specific person. If the data retrieved about you allows for personal identification, this is also immediately ruled out and the personally identifiably information is deleted right away.

We use Google Analytics to analyse the usage of our website and regularly improve it. With the statistics acquired we can improve our service and make it more interesting to you as a user. In the exceptional cases when personally identifiable information is sent to the USA, Google is subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield, www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the usage of Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.
