2. TheRealLuxury business purpose and mode of operations

TheRealLuxury operates an international online marketplace for new, second-hand and limited edition designer fashion and accessories under the brand TheRealLuxury, where private and commercial users can buy and sell products. TheRealLuxury handles all aspects of online sales for sellers, from item descriptions and photos to secure storage and payment processing, packaging and shipping through logistics partners to marketing through different marketing channels. An important aspect of online sales is the need to inform and advise potential buyers about the products on offer.

 

For every product sold, buyers can rely on authenticity and quality testing carried out by TheRealLuxury experts.

 

TheRealLuxury facilitates communication between potential buyers and suppliers, in particular with regard to price negotiations and offers.

The use of this website may lead to the processing of personal data. The term "personal data", in accordance with data protection legislation, refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. Personal data also includes IP addresses.

In addition, we automatically collect some information about your use of the Site when you visit the Site.

Legal principles underlying data processing

We process personal data in accordance with the relevant data protection regulations, in particular the GDPR and the BDSG. We will only process data if legally permitted to do so.

Unless otherwise stated in the following information, the data will be processed on servers operated by technical service providers that we have commissioned for this purpose. Such service providers receive detailed instructions for the processing of the data and are contractually responsible for implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure data protection.

Revocation of consent

If you have given us separate consent to process your data, you can revoke this consent at any time in accordance with Article 7, paragraph 3, GDPR. Such revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that took place on the basis of the consent until the revocation of the consent.

12. Applications

You can apply for a job on the job vacancies on our website. For this purpose, we collect personal information from you, including your name, CV, covering letter and other content you have provided. We use a service provider to screen our applications, acting solely on our behalf in accordance with the legal requirements for processing orders.

If we store your applicant data for six months with your explicit consent, we ask you to withdraw your consent at any time in accordance with Article 7, paragraph 3, GDPR. Such revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that took place up to the moment the consent was revoked.

13. Newsletter

In the following section, we inform you about our newsletter, as well as about other types of commercial email, e-mails and your rights to object. By subscribing to our newsletter, you accept to receive it and agree to the following procedures. The legal basis is your consent in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, letter a, GDPR.

Subscription to our newsletter will be completed using a double opt-in procedure, which also serves to confirm your email address. This confirmation is necessary to prevent fraudulent subscription with other email addresses. Subscriptions to the newsletter are logged to record the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address. Any changes to your details, also stored with the delivery service provider, will be recorded.

Transactional emails that are closely related to buying and selling, such as order confirmations, are sent using an external service provider Mailchimp (The Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000 Atlanta, Georgia 30308).

Mailchimp is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and ensures compliance with European data protection legislation: 

https://www.privacyshield.gov/...

Please note that we evaluate your user behaviour when sending newsletters and transactional emails.

Emails sent by Mailchimp contain cookies that are retrieved by the mail service provider's server when the email is opened. As part of this access, technical information about your browser and system, IP address, time and locations of access (identifiable via IP address) is temporarily captured. This information is used for technical improvements or to better capture audiences and their reading behaviour based on locations (which can be identified by IP address) or time of access to the Services. The emails sent contain web beacons, also called pixels, which are used to analyse the emails. They are single pixel image files that lead to our website and allow us to assess your user behaviour. We do this by collecting web beacons that are assigned to your email address and linked to your personal ID. The links contained in the newsletter also contain these beacons.

Emarsys also stores cookies on your computer via your web browser. Cookies and the IDs they contain are not linked to your name, address, email address or other personal information unless you have explicitly given us permission to send you information tailored to your interests. The mailing service provider uses these cookies to recognise your browser so that we can track your movements around our website and record and determine the success of certain marketing actions. We use this information to improve our website and email newsletters, in particular by tailoring our information and offers to the individual interests and needs of our users.

The analysis of the newsletter is based on Article 6, sentence 1, letter f, GDPR. We are entitled to an anonymised analysis of user behaviour in order to optimise both the website and advertising.

We use the data obtained from Emarsys to create a pseudonymous user profile in order to provide you with a newsletter tailored to your interests. The following information is collected: 

The data collected in this way is stored on a server within the European Union.

You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. You can do this by using the link at the bottom of each of our newsletters or by sending a message to the email address listed under Contact.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to cancel the distribution by the service provider or the statistical evaluations separately, instead the entire subscription must be cancelled.

14. Newsletter without consent

If we receive your email address in connection with the purchase or sale of a product or service and you have not objected, we reserve the right to email you similar products to those already purchased in our product range on a regular basis. 

If you do not wish to do so, you may object at any time by sending an email to: info@therealluxury.com without incurring any charges other than the cost of transmission at the applicable standard rates. In addition, each newsletter contains a separate unsubscribe link.

We use technologies from Criteo SA, 32 Rue Blanche, 75009 Paris, France (Criteo). When you visit our website, a Criteo cookie stores information about your behaviour on our website (e.g. offers clicked). Criteo uses this information at its own discretion and at its own risk to serve you relevant advertisements from third party websites.

We use the 'visitor action pixel' by Facebook Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, for EU residents, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ('Facebook').

Visitor action pixels allow us to track the behavior of users after they have been directed to our website by clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called „Conversion“). They can also be used to measure the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous to us, i.e. we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook about whose activities we will inform you to the best of our ability. Facebook may link this information to your Facebook account and also use it for its own promotional purposes, in accordance with Facebook's Data Usage Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

The visitor action pixel is triggered by Facebook when you visit our website and may place a cookie on your device. If you then log in to Facebook or visit Facebook when logged in, your visit to our online offering will be noted in your profile. The data collected about you is still anonymous to us and will not provide us with any information about user identity. However, Facebook stores and processes data in a way that can be connected to the individual user profile and may be used by Facebook for its own market research and advertising purposes.

The legal basis for the use of this service is Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, letter f, GDPR and serves our legitimate economic interests. 

You can object to being recorded by the Facebook pixel as well as the use of your data to display Facebook ads at the following address: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and warrants to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).

Facebook Custom Audiences

Our website uses Facebook Custom Audiences for Websites, a service provided by Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). Our website has an integrated remarketing pixel from Facebook, which helps Facebook to record visitors to our website and use their data as the basis for advertisements (Facebook Ads). The pixel transmits general information about your browser session to Facebook and a non-reversible and non-personal checksum (hash value) generated from your Facebook ID. Details on how Facebook handles your data, as well as your rights and setting options to protect your personal data, can be found in Facebook's privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation. 

The legal basis for such processing is Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, letter f, GDPR. If you wish to block the use of Facebook's website target groups in the future, you can do so at https://www.facebook.com/ads/website_custom_audiences. 

Facebook is certified in accordance with the Privacy Shield Agreement and ensures compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active). 

Google Marketing Services

We use the marketing and remarketing services of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google") on our website. These services enable us to serve more targeted advertisements by presenting ads that are tailored to user preferences. Remarketing allows us to show ads and products to users who are interested in other sites on the Google network. For these purposes, Google executes code and embeds so-called (re)marketing tags when you visit our website. These are used to store a single cookie, i.e. a small file, on the user's device (comparable technologies can also be used instead of cookies). Cookies can be set by different domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. This file keeps track of the websites visited, the content of interest and the types of offers made. In addition, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and further information about the use of the online offer are stored. User IP addresses are also logged. With regard to Google Analytics, it should be noted that IP addresses are truncated in the Member States of the European Union or in other countries that are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

All user data will only be processed as pseudonymous data. Google does not store names or email addresses. Therefore, all displayed advertisements are not displayed specifically for an identifiable individual, but for the owner of the cookie. This data is collected by Google, transmitted to servers in the USA and stored.

One of the Google marketing services we use is the online advertising programme Google AdWords. In the case of Google AdWords, each AdWords customer receives a different conversion cookie. As a result, cookies cannot be tracked through AdWords customer websites. The data collected by the cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. AdWords customers see the total number of users who clicked on their advert and were redirected to the page with the conversion tracking tag. However, they will not receive any information that personally identifies users.

We may include third-party ads based on Google's DoubleClick Marketing Service. DoubleClick uses cookies to enable Google and partner websites to serve ads based on users' visits to this or other sites on the Internet.

Google's services are used through Google's tag manager. For more information about Google's use of data for marketing purposes, see the overview page: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites?hl=en-US. 

The legal basis for the use of this service is Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, letter f, GDPR. If you wish to object to interest-based advertising by Google Marketing Services, you can use the opt-in and opt-out options offered by Google: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences.

Microsoft Bing ads

We use Bing Ads, a conversion and tracking tool from Microsoft Corporation (One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, Microsoft) on our website. Microsoft stores cookies on users' computers to facilitate the analysis of the use of our online offerings. This requires that the user has come to our website through a Microsoft Bing Ads ad. Both Microsoft and we can detect when a user has clicked on an advert, been redirected to our online offer and reached a predefined landing page. Only the total number of users who clicked on a Bing ad and were then directed to a landing page (conversions) will be visible. No IP address will be stored. No other personal data identifying the user is disclosed.

Further information on data protection and how cookies are handled in Bing ads can be found in Microsoft's data protection statement: https://privacy.microsoft.com/....

18. Integrated services and third-party content

We use services and content provided by third parties ("Content") on our website. To facilitate integration, for technical reasons, you need to process your IP address so that the Content can be sent to your browser. Your IP address will therefore be forwarded to the relevant independent provider.

In any case, the data processing is carried out in order to protect our legitimate interests in the optimisation and economic operation of our website, and the legal basis for this service is Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, letter f, GDPR.

The Java programming language is regularly used for content integration. You can object to the processing of data for this purpose by deactivating Java in your browser. Instructions and further security advice are available from the Federal Office for Information Security at https://www.bsi-fuer-buerger.d....

We have included content from the following third parties on our website:

Google

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and guarantees to comply with European data protection legislation (https://www.privacyshield.gov/...).

Trusted Shops GmbH

The Trusted Shops Trustbadge is integrated on this website, which displays our seal of approval and any collected ratings and offers Trusted Shops products to customers after they have placed an order.

This serves to protect our overriding legitimate interests for optimal marketing by facilitating a secure shopping experience in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, letter f, GDPR. The trust badge and the associated advertised services are provided by Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne. The trust badge is provided in the context of a data processing contract with a CDN (content delivery network) provider. Trusted Shops GmbH also uses service providers from the USA. An adequate level of data protection is guaranteed. Further information on data protection at Trusted Shops GmbH can be found here: https://www.trustedshops.de/im....

When you view a trust badge, the web server automatically saves a server log file, which also contains your IP address, the date and time of the viewing of the badge, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (data access), and documents the access. The data on the individual access is stored in a security database for vulnerability analysis. Log files shall be automatically deleted at the latest 90 days after creation.

Additional personal data will be transferred to Trusted Shops GmbH if you decide to use Trusted Shops products after completing your order or if you have already registered for use. The contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops applies. For this purpose, personal data is automatically collected from the order data. A neural parameter, i.e. an email address, which is concatenated with a one-way cryptographic function, is used to automatically check whether you, as a customer, are already registered to use the product. The email address is converted into a concatenated value before transmission, which cannot be decrypted by Trusted Shops. The parameter is automatically deleted after the match check.

This is necessary to meet the overriding legitimate interests of our and Trusted Shops in providing customer protection related to special order and transaction evaluation services in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1, letter f, GDPR. Further details, including how to object, can be found in the Trusted Shops data protection statement above and in the trust badge.

Kameleoon

The website uses the Kameleoon test and the web analysis service provided by Kameleoon GmbH. The software enables the analysis of user behaviour based on user segmentation. The analysis of the log file data allows us to find out how individual user segments visit the website, which landing pages they visit and how we can achieve an increase in the number of clicks.

As described above, cookies/local browser memory associated with a pseudonymised ID are used for the analyses. Your IP address is completely anonymised and will not be stored. The information generated by the cookie/local storage about your use of this website is sent to a Kameleoon server in Germany and stored there in aggregated and pseudonymised form. The IP address transmitted by your browser using Kameleoon is not combined with other Kameleoon data.

Kameleoon evaluates your use of the website and compiles reports on website activity so that we can regularly improve our services. The legal basis for the data processing is Article 6, paragraph 1, letter f, GDPR, and serves our legitimate interest to promote our products by optimizing them for the user.

You can prevent the storage of cookies/local memory by changing the relevant settings in your browser software. However, please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also deactivate Kameleoon tracking at any time (and prevent Kameleoon from collecting the data generated by the cookie relating to your use of the website and Kameleoon's processing of this data) by clicking on the following link: http://www.therealluxury.com#k....
