In the following, we provide information about the processing of personal data when using our website https://glowtox.de/ and our social media profiles.
Personal data is all data that can be related to a specific natural person, e.g. their name or IP address.
The controller pursuant to Art. 4 (7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Ibrahim Isik, Habsburgerring 5, Cologne, Germany, e-mail: [email protected]. We are legally represented by Ibrahim Isik.
Our data protection officer can be contacted via heyData GmbH, Schützenstraße 5, 10117 Berlin,www.heydata.eu , e-mail: [email protected].
The scope of the processing of the data, the purposes of the processing and
We explain the legal bases in detail below. In principle, the following legal bases for data processing can be considered:
Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent.
Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR is the legal basis insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract, e.g. if a site visitor purchases a product from us or we perform a service for them. This legal basis also applies to processing that is necessary for pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services.
Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR applies if we fulfill a legal obligation by processing personal data, as may be the case in tax law, for example.
Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis if we have
processing of personal data, e.g. for cookies that are required for the technical operation of our website.
Insofar as we transfer data to service providers or other third parties outside the EEA, adequacy decisions of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR guarantee the security of the data during transfer, insofar as these are available, as is the case, for example, for the UK, Canada and Israel.
In the case of data transfer to service providers in the USA, the legal basis for data transfer is an adequacy decision by the EU Commission if the service provider is also certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
In other cases (e.g. if there is no adequacy decision), the legal basis for data transfer is usually standard contractual clauses, i.e. unless we indicate otherwise. These are a set of rules adopted by the EU Commission and form part of the contract with the respective third party. According to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. b GDPR, they guarantee the security of data transfer. Many of the providers have issued contractual guarantees that go beyond the standard contractual clauses and protect the data beyond the standard contractual clauses. These are, for example, guarantees regarding the encryption of the data or regarding the obligation of the third party to inform the data subject if law enforcement agencies wish to access data.
Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy,
the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted, i.e. the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that we must retain for commercial or tax law reasons.
Data subjects have the following rights vis-à-vis us with regard to their personal data:
Right to information,
Right to rectification or erasure,
Right to restriction of processing,
Right to object to processing ,
Right to data portability,
Right to withdraw consent at any time .
Data subjects also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of their personal data. Contact details of the data protection supervisory authorities can be found at https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Service/Anschriften/Laender/Laender-node.html.
In the context of a business relationship or other relationship, customers, interested parties or third parties must only provide us with the personal data that is necessary for the establishment, execution and termination of the business relationship or for the other relationship or that we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will generally have to refuse to conclude a contract or provide a service or will no longer be able to perform an existing contract or other relationship.
Mandatory information is marked as such.
For the establishment and execution of a business relationship or other
relationship, we generally do not use any fully automated
Decision-making in accordance with Article 22 GDPR. If we use these procedures in individual cases, we will inform you of this separately if this is required by law.

to get to know your wishes better. We collect the data requested in each case. It is our legitimate interest to get to know our customers and their wishes better, so that the legal basis for the associated data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. We delete the data once the results of the surveys have been evaluated.
We reserve the right to inform customers who have already used our services or purchased goods about our offers from time to time by e-mail or other means if they have not objected to this. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para.
1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in direct advertising
(Recital 47 GDPR). Customers can object to the use of their e-mail address for advertising purposes at any time at no additional cost, for example via the link at the end of each e-mail or by sending an e-mail to our above-mentioned e-mail address.
