III. General information about data processing
1. Scope of processing personal data
You can generally visit us (Internet services, notably momox GmbH websites) without telling us who you are. Your browser automatically transmits various data when visiting our website, see below “IV. Provision of the website and creation of log files”. This information is analysed purely for statistical purposes and then erased. Our services are reserved for adult visitors.
Personal data is only collected on our website if you provide it to us of your own accord (e.g. when opening a user account or as part of the order process). We use this data exclusively for the purposes stated in each case, as listed below.
We contractually bind external service providers who process personal data for us, so-called “external processors”, in accordance with Article 28 GDPR. These external processors have been carefully selected by us, specifically commissioned and are bound to our instructions. The GDPR refers to states outside the European Union/European Economic Area as third countries and regulates transfers there separately in accordance with Articles 44 to 49 GDPR. In some cases, we use external processors in third countries and name them below. For the USA, the EU Commission has assessed the adequacy of the data protection level there in accordance with Article 44 Para. 3 GDPR the EU-US Privacy Shield (C(2016) 4176 final). Our external processors in the USA are certified according to this. We maintain current technical measures to guarantee the protection of personal data. These are adapted to the current state of the art.
2. Legal basis for processing personal data
If we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Article 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing personal data.
When processing personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 Para. 1 lit. b serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing required for executing precontractual measures.
In accordance with Article 6 Para. 1 lit. f), processing personal data is also lawful if it is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require the protection of personal data, prevail, in particular if the data subject is a child.
3. Data erasure and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject is erased or blocked as soon as the purpose for storage ceases to exist. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or erased if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
IV. Provision of the website and creation of log files
1. Description and scope of data processing
On every visit to our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the computer being used.
The following data is collected:
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user. However, in the event of an error in an interface query, we also log the ID (identification under a pseudonym), the IP address and the relevant http query, if used by the requesting user to enable subsequent error analysis and correction.
2. Legal basis for data processing
If our log files mean the processing of personal data, the legal basis is Article 6 Para. 1 lit. b and f GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary within the meaning of Article 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. The user’s IP address must be stored for its duration for this purpose. The repeated automatic reading of websites (so-called “scraping”) is also made more difficult by recording the IP address. Data storage in the event on an error is necessary in the meaning of Article 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR to ensure the functionality of the website.
4. Storage duration
The data is erased as soon as it is no longer necessary for achieving the purpose of its collection. In the case of the IP address, this is truncated, therefore made anonymous when the respective session has ended. The data therefore no longer contains personal references. All log files are erased after 50 days.
5. Objection or removal option
The collection of the data for website provision and data storage in log files is necessary for operating the website. As a result, there is no objection option for the user.
V. Use of cookies
1. Description and scope of data processing
The websites use so-called “cookies” in several places. Their purpose is to make our website more user-friendly and effective. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer and saved by your browser. Some of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies” that are automatically erased when you close your browser. In addition, there are also some persistent cookies that we use to recognise you as a visitor. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. If you do not want cookies to be installed, you can deactivate the acceptance of cookies in your browser. However, we would like to point out that you may not be able to use our website in full with deactivated cookies.
The user data collected in this way is pseudonymised by technical precautions. Therefore, it is not possible to assign the data to the accessing user as a person. The data will not be stored together with the user’s other personal data unless otherwise described below.
The first time our website is accessed, users are informed about the use of cookies via an info banner and are referred to this data privacy policy. This also includes an indication of how the storage of cookies can be prevented in the browser settings.
The following data is stored and transmitted in the technically necessary cookies:
We also use cookies on our website that enable an analysis of the usage behaviour, the advertising success (so-called conversion) and retargeting of the users on websites of third parties and on our website (e.g. last viewed offers or favourites). Third parties can store cookies on the user’s device directly when visiting our websites or we transmit IDs without personal reference.
The following data can be transmitted in this way:
We use the following third-party providers to analyse usage behaviour:
We use the following third-party providers to re-target the user (remarketing):
We use the following third-party providers to analyse advertising effectiveness:
2. Legal basis for data processing
If our use of cookies means the processing of personal data, the legal basis is Article 6 Para. 1 lit. b and f GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
The purpose of using of technically necessary cookies according to Article 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions on our website cannot be offered without using cookies. For this it is necessary that the browser is recognised even after a page change.
We require cookies for the following applications:
The user data collected by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.
If the other cookies are processed, we have a legitimate interest in processing the personal data in accordance with Article 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR:
The use of analysis cookies is for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its content. Through analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and can therefore constantly optimise what we offer. We recognise which advertising measures caused our websites to be visited (conversion tracking). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising measures. We are interested in showing you advertisements that are of interest to you, in making our website more interesting and easier for you and in achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.
Retargeting is done to address previous users of our websites again on third party websites and to motivate them to interact. Users receive advertising content on third party websites that is related to their interests rather than general.
4. Storage duration
Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted to our site. Therefore, you as the user also have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that are already stored can be erased at any time. This can be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it is possible that not all functions can be used to their full extent (see “technically necessary cookies” above).
The cookie storage duration is indicated above. Otherwise, they are set indefinitely until you erase the memory in the browser.
5. Objection or removal option
You can disable or restrict the processing of cookies by the service providers used by us using the aforementioned links. Furthermore, you can use the preference management of the “yourchoices” commitment for Internet-based advertising: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/
The objection is valid as long as the related opt-out cookie is not erased. This cookie is set for the domain, per browser and user of a computer. If you access our website from multiple devices and browsers, you must therefore object to data collection separately and again on each of these devices and in each browser.
VI. Advertising emails (newsletter)
1. Description and scope of data processing
On our website there is the option of subscribing to a free newsletter with advertising contents of our purchase and sales service. This data is transmitted to us when you register for the newsletter:
Your consent is obtained for data processing and reference is made to this data privacy policy during the registration process. You will then receive an email asking you to confirm your registration (double opt-in process). If you are a customer, we will create the newsletter for you as individually as possible, taking into account your previous purchases and sales and scanned items that were not included in the shopping cart.
We will send you reminders for incomplete transactions (shopping basket) and ask you to participate in surveys by email. In addition, you will receive loyalty messages by email if you did not carry out any transactions at all on a particularly regular basis or for a longer period of time.
If you buy or sell goods on our website and provide us with your email address, we may subsequently use it to send you a newsletter. If this is the case, only direct advertising for our own similar goods or services will be sent via the newsletter.
This regulation will be brought to your attention when you register or when buying or selling.
We would like to point out that we measure the use of the newsletter. For the evaluation, the emails sent contain so-called “web beacons” or “tracking pixels” which represent single-pixel image files stored on our website. For the evaluation we link the data and the web beacons with your email address and an individual ID. Links contained in the newsletter are also provided with an ID. With the data obtained in this way, we create a user profile in order to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. We create a user profile with the data obtained in this way to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. When you read our newsletter, we record which links you click on in it and deduce your personal interests. We link this data to your actions on our website.
No data is passed on to third parties for their own purposes in connection with data processing for sending of newsletters.
We use the optivo broadmail service from Episerver GmbH, Wallstraße 16, 10179 Berlin for sending the newsletter. Data may also be transferred to third countries within the Episerver group. The agreement on external data processing and certification according to EU-US Privacy Shield is available.

3. Purpose of data processing
Collecting the user’s email address is for delivering the newsletter.
The collection of other personal data as part of the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address used.
Messages to customers for shopping basket reminders or loyalty campaigns offer targeted communication for users and us. Requests for surveys and reviews are also in our legitimate interests because they improve our services.
Profiling based on previous purchases, sales and use of the newsletter is in our legitimate interest in order to send relevant news to users.
4. Storage duration
The data is erased as soon as it is no longer necessary for achieving the purpose of its collection. The user’s email address will therefore be stored as long as the newsletter subscription is active.
The other personal data collected during the registration process will generally be erased after a period of seven days.
After cancellation, we store the data purely statistically and anonymously.
5. Objection or removal option
The newsletter subscription can be cancelled by the user concerned at any time. There is a corresponding link in each newsletter for this purpose. Furthermore, you have the option of cancelling the newsletter in your customer account. For more information see “Rights of the data subject” below.
You can also restrict usage measurements by deactivating the images displays in your email program as standard.

XIII. Social Media Plug-Ins
1. Description and scope of data processing
You can also find us on social networks. A social network is a social meeting point operated on the Internet, an online community that usually enables users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. In addition, we have integrated individual functions of these networks into our online services as so-called plug-ins. However, you can only use functions if you are registered and logged in to the respective social network. Please note that the use of the respective social network is subject to the terms of use and data protection of this company, over which we have no control. However, we will be happy to explain to you how such networks process your personal data in this context:
On this website we have integrated components of the company Facebook. Facebook is a social network. The operating company of Facebook is Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The person responsible for processing personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland if a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by us and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook obtains information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting each time the person visits our website and for the entire duration of that person's visit to our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, such as the "Like" button, or if the data subject makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the data subject's personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data. Facebook receives information through the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our site whenever they are logged into Facebook at the same time as they visit our site, whether or not they click on the Facebook component. If the data subject does not choose to submit this information to Facebook in this way, he or she can prevent the submission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before visiting our website. Facebook's published privacy policy, available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, discloses Facebook's collection, processing and use of personal information. It also explains what settings Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.
Our website uses plug-ins from Instagram, which is operated by Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Instagram"). When you visit a page on our site that contains such a plugin, your browser connects directly to Instagram's servers. The content of the plugin is sent by Instagram directly to your browser and integrated into the page. This integration tells Instagram that your browser has accessed the appropriate page on our site, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not logged into Instagram. This information (including your IP address) is transferred directly from your browser to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can directly associate your visit to our website with your Instagram account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the "Instagram" button, this information will also be sent directly to an Instagram server and stored there. The information is also published to your Instagram account and displayed to your contacts. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Instagram, as well as your related rights and privacy settings, can be found in Instagram's privacy policy: https://www.instagram.com/legal/privacy/
2. Legal basis for data processing
Insofar as our use of cookies involves the processing of personal data, the legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b, lit. f GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
In the case of processing, our legitimate interest lies in the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR: The websites are enriched with more attractive content and the users of the networks can interact directly with them.
4. Duration of storage
The collection takes place through the networks mentioned, where you as a member receive information about the storage duration.
5. Objection or removal option
If you do not want Facebook or Instagram networks to directly associate the information collected through our website with your account, you must log out before visiting our website. You can assert your rights as a member in accordance with the data protection regulations against the networks. You can also use add-ons for your browser to completely prevent plugins from loading, e.g. the script blocker "NoScript" (http://noscript.net/).
