Privacy Statement

LAST UPDATED: OCTOBER 2017

1. WHEN DO WE USE AND PROCESS PERSONAL DATA?

At EIS Inc. (EIS, us, or we), we know that the careful handling of your personal data is very important to you. As a result, we place a high priority on data protection in our company. This privacy statement explains how we collect, process, disclose, and use data, and also explains other important matters related to your privacy. By using our website, or by otherwise providing us with your personal data, you signify your consent to all of the terms of this Privacy Statement. If you do not agree with any terms of this Privacy Statement, please do not use this website or submit any personal information to EIS.

 Personal data is data about an identifiable individual, such as a name, contact information or financial information. You can principally visit our website without providing any personal data. However, in several cases we require such data from you:

  • when you place an order
  • when contacting us
  • when using the protected zone "customer account"
  • when subscribing to / cancelling the newsletter
  • when you otherwise choose to provide us with personal data

Your data helps us to individually design and consistently improve your shopping experience with us. We may specifically use the personal data to process the orders, to deliver the goods, for processing the payment, in order to prevent improper use of our website and in order to inform you about orders, products, services and offers.

In order to be able to contact you easier and quicker than by post, we request you to notify us of your e-mail address. We will, of course, only use this for advertising purposes if you have explicitly agreed hereto. You can withdraw consent to this use of your e-mail address at any time without other costs being incurred to you for this purpose (other than your carrier’s transmission costs). In this respect please contact: privacymanager@satisfyer.com. You can also contact our privacy officer using the information stated in Subclause 13.

2. WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR PERSONAL DATA AND HOW DO WE DISCLOSE IT?

2.1. We store the personal data in the first place for the optimum processing of your order and forward these, if applicable, to other companies for this purpose. One example in this context is the forwarding of the data to a freight forwarder/delivery company, which deliver the goods to you, or further the forwarding to our contractually affiliated partners for financial services (e.g. a credit card processor). We may also use or disclose your personal information for other purposes which are disclosed to you and to which you consent. 

2.2. We can also forward your personal data in the form of the name and address to service providers, which carry out the postal shipment for us in individual cases for so-called customer recovery measures.

2.3. We may also use your data for market and opinion research. We will only use your data, which you enter within the scope of the corresponding measure for market or opinion research, for statistical purposes and in an anonymised form. You can object to the use for market and opinion research purposes at all times. Your answers with surveys for market and opinion research purposes will neither be forwarded to third parties, nor published by us.
We do not store the answers from surveys for market and opinion research purposes together with your personal data. Should we commission third parties to assist us with surveys for market and opinion research purposes, then your data will be forwarded to such parties.

2.4. After processing of your order transaction, you may receive an e-mail, in which we request submission of an assessment for the individual goods from your last order. We may also include functionality on our sites that allow you to review our products.

By agreeing to this privacy statement you grant us your consent to send the e-mail with the request for you to submit an assessment. The submission of the assessment will be carried out voluntarily, therefore you can also ignore the request. Your assessment has the advantage for us that we can use it to help improve our offer of goods and, above all, our service – for the advantage of all customers.

We may post such customer testimonials and customer product reviews on our web site, and this post may contain personal data such as the customer's first name.  When you submit a comment to us via the testimonial page or via email we reserve the right to post that comment on our Testimonial page without any further communications with you. If you would like your testimonial removed from our site you can easily request this by contacting our customer care team or calling us at the numbers provided at the footer of this page.

2.5. We may offer competitions from time to time. The following data are recorded with the participation:

First name
Last name
E-mail address

Any other data specified on the competition page, or in its terms

The data are processed and stored by us using electronic means, and used to administer the competition in accordance with its terms. The electronically processed and stored data will be deleted after termination of the competition, in compliance with the applicable law. If the participant, besides the participation in the competition, would also like to receive the newsletter, the entered data will be processed electronically for carrying out the newsletter despatch.

2.6. If you have subscribed to our newsletter, we reserve the right to also use selected data through an external newsletter service provider for sending the newsletter.

We use the service Emarsys eMarketing Systems AG, Märzstrasse 1, A-1150 Vienna for the processing in this respect (hereinafter referred to as EMARSYS).

If you register for our newsletter your e-mail address will be transmitted to Emarsys for this purpose (further details such as name, place of residence or other personal data will not be requested).

When you register for the newsletter you declare that you agree that we will evaluate the use of the newsletter and our website in order to make individual topics available to you. The evaluation will only be carried out if you have explicitly agreed to receive these communications, or until you have revoked your granted consent. 

We use the analysis tool Emarsys Predict for the compilation of our individual e-mail newsletter that evaluates both your use of the newsletter as well as of our website. This helps us to arrange our newsletter based on user behavior,  shopping history and customer life cycle, and similar information. We use cookies for recording your usage behaviour on our website in order to recognise your browser when you return again. This way we can understand your movements on our website and record and measure the success of certain marketing measures. Moreover, our newsletters can contain hyperlinks ("links"), in which random, clear identification numbers are contained. We can record and store these identification numbers when your computer calls these links in order to call additional information from our servers. We use this information relating to the calls made by you in order to understand your use of our newsletter and our website as well as to measure the success of certain marketing measures and to adjust our offers to your individual interests and needs. Please see section 5 below for more information on our use of cookies.

2.7. We may transfer your personal data to third party service providers that assist us with carrying out the purposes described in this privacy statement. Further, we reserve the right to transfer any personal data we have about you in the event that we merge with or are acquired by a third party or should any such transaction be proposed. We may also use, or disclose your personal data to third parties, if we have reason to believe that using or disclosing such information is necessary to: (i) conduct investigations of possible breaches of law; (ii) identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating an agreement they have with us; (iii) investigate security breaches or cooperate with government authorities pursuant to a legal matter; or (iv) to protect our rights, safety or property. Lastly, we may disclose your personal data for any other purpose to which you consent.

3. AM I ENTITLED TO ACCESS MY PERSONAL DATA?

We are of course willing to provide you information about all of your personal data stored by us, and you may ask us to correct it if you believe it to be incorrect. Please contact in this respect our data protection officer by e-mail at privacymanager@satisfyer.com. We will use reasonable efforts to comply with your request; however, in some cases we may not be able to allow you to access certain personal data in certain circumstances, for example if it contains personal data of other persons, or for legal reasons. We may require you to verify your identity before allowing you to access your personal data.

4. HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

If you register in the zone "customer account" or place an order, your personal data will be transmitted to us. In order to help prevent this data from getting into the wrong hands we encrypt it using the SSL procedure (Secure-Socket-Layer). This is currently the most common and one of the securest data transmission process in the Internet. It is used in our company as a standard as soon as sensitive data are transmitted. Moreover, all customer information is stored on secure servers, which are not accessible to unauthorised persons and are protected against external access by a "Firewall".

We further maintain varied further security measures for the protection of the personal data of our customers, including physical, technological and organizational protections. In connection with these security measures you will occasionally be requested to provide proof of your identity before we display personal information to you. One example for this procedure is the access to the customer account, which is only possible by entering a code.

Some or all of the personal data we collect may be stored or processed on servers located outside your jurisdiction of residence, including in the European Union, (including Germany), and the United States, whose data protection laws may differ from the jurisdiction in which you live. As a result, this information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in those jurisdictions according to laws in those jurisdictions. 

Please note that the personal data we collect is maintained at Paderborn, Germany.

9. DO WE USE WEB ANALYSIS TOOLS?

Yes. We use analytical tools, as do the majority of Internet companies. We will inform you about how they are used in detail below.

Use of Google Analytics

We use the web analysis tool Google Analytics for evaluating the visitor numbers to our online shop and the collection of thus resulting statistics.

The following information is provided in this respect:

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files, which are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie concerning your use of this website is, as a rule, transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and stored there. In the event of the activation of the IP anonymization on this website your IP address will be previously abbreviated by Google, however, within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Treaty on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and abbreviated there. By order of the operator of this website Google will use this information in order to evaluate your use of the website in order to compile reports about the website activities and in order to provide further services associated with the use of the website and the Internet towards the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be aggregated with other data of Google. You can prevent the storage of the cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software. However, we would like to point out to you that in this case you will, if applicable, not be able to use all functions of this website in full. You can in addition prevent the entry of the data generated by the cookie and which refers to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) to Google.

To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites visit http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

or alternatively opt out of Google Analytics, especially for mobile usage, by setting an Opt-Out-Cookie. For this to work you must allow cookies: Click here to opt-out of Google Analytics

In connection with any general problems caused by the use of analysis tools, the collection of the full IP addresses and making these available to the user, we would like to point out that this website uses the analysis tool Google Analytics by using the extension made available by Google "_anonymizeIp()". For this reason the determined IP addresses will only be further processed in an abbreviated form in order to exclude a direct reference to the individual Internet user here.

Extended Google Analytics functions

As permitted by applicable law, and insofar as users have agreed that their web and app browser progress is linked with their Google account by Google and information from their Google account is used to personalise advertisements, which they see in the web, Google uses data of these registered users together with Google Analytics data in order to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. Google-authenticated IDs of these users are recorded by Google Analytics in order to support this function. These personal data of Google are temporarily linked with our Google Analytics data in order to form target groups.

10. DO WE USE SHOP-OWN WEB-ANALYSIS TOOLS?

Yes, we do this –as do the majority of Internet companies. We will inform you about the used services in detail below. The used tool is a system that tracks and analyses the movement of a user on the website. The system features the following properties:

  • The tracking takes place completely on the server side. This means that the web server itself sends the data to the used tool. No additional JavaScript library, etc. is installed in your used Internet browser, which actively transmits data. However, cookies are used in order to track the session.
  • No additional data are collected, but already available data are evaluated.
  • The following data are evaluated:
    • IP address (only temporarily; this was deleted immediately after the evaluation)
    • URL (what have you just clicked)
    • Referrer (from which website do you come to our website)
    • Partner-ID (if available)
    • Customer number (if available)
    • and in the event of a purchase: Articles, total amounts, payment method.

The following data are explicitly not collected:

  • Last name, first name
  • Address
  • Account number, bank sorting code, credit card data, PayPal-ID
  • Codes, user code.

The raw data are compacted in the analysis step and evaluated for statistical purposes. The following evaluations are created:

Where do the visitors come from (search engine, affiliates etc.)

Through which search terms /Adwords did the visitor access the website

  • Number of clicks, paths, etc. in the website
  • Funnel analysis (how many visitors have entered the shop, moved in the shop, used the box, started the order process)
  • What was purchased (articles, total amounts, etc.)
  • Meta evaluations (purchase-click-instalments, contribution margins, etc.)

The collected data will, however, not be used to personally identify you as a visitor of our online Shop/wesbite. The data collected by us will merely be used to improve our online offer and our services towards you. A use or forwarding to third parties is not carried out.
