Privacy Policy (with consent for advertising)

Browse www.stylevamp.com with advertising or sign up for a contentpass subscription

There are two options to use the website. With the “contentpass” option, we forego advertising tracking and try to do without advertising as far as possible. Cookies and cookie-based technologies are used with the contentpass subscription („contentpass subscription“) exclusively to guarantee the functionality of the offer from a technical point of view (for example, to ensure that the website is displayed correctly on mobile devices) and to continuously optimise the content of the offer. The offer is in no way personalised, not even in terms of content. Information on the processing of personal data that takes place within this context can be found in the privacy policy (contentpass).

If, however, you want to use the website free of charge, we finance our journalistic offer with advertising based on your consent and tailor the advertising to your inferred interests (so-called target group-related advertising). For this purpose, we transmit data to selected third parties and store or use cookies, device identifiers and similar tracking technologies on your end devices. A detailed overview of the services and cookies used in this regard can be found in the „Privacy Manager“.

Information on the processing of your personal data that takes place within this context can be found in the Privacy Policy (in particular, in the sections “Privacy Manager” and “Purposes of processing in the context of the Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF)“).

You can revoke your consent for the target group-related advertising („consent for advertising“) at any time with effect for the future. However, you can only continue to use the website without restrictions if you sign up for the contentpass subscription.

Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is intended for visitors to the website who choose to read the website with advertising and who give advertising consent for this (“user”). In particular, this Privacy Policy explains which data we collect when you visit the website, how and for what purpose we use these data, and to whom we disclose them. We furthermore explain your rights relating to the processing of your personal data, such as the rights to information, correction, objection and erasure, and how you can assert them.

What are personal data?

The protection and security of your data are very important to us.

According to Art. 4 (1) of the General Data Protection Act (“GDPR”), personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (also “your data” or “user data”).

We will only process your personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations, in particular those of the GDPR. If we process your data for purposes other than those specified in this Privacy Policy, we will inform you about said purposes separately in advance and, where necessary, obtain your consent to do so.

The legal bases for the processing of your personal data can to a large extent be found in the GDPR, and can be accessed, e.g. here. We refer to the corresponding legal bases of our processing in this Privacy Notice.

Who is the data processing controller?

Ströer is the data processing controller in connection with the use of the website.

For certain processing operations, we are joint controllers together with our commissioned partners (hereinafter “vendors”) and, if applicable, the advertisers who display ads or have ads displayed on our website (so-called joint controllership). Further information on this can be found in the section “Processing operations under joint controllership; central contact point”. The contact details of the respective vendors can be found in our Consent Management Platform (“CMP” or “Privacy Manager”), which you can access via the “Privacy Manager” link found at the bottom of every page on the website. Upon request, we can provide you with the contact details of the advertisers/agencies.

Data processing within the framework of so-called “page insights” on our Facebook fanpages is an exception to this (see section “Facebook fanpages and joint responsibility for insights”). In this regard, we are jointly responsible together with Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”).

Processing operations under joint controllership; central contact point

The following processing operations fall under joint responsibility together with the other controllers:

• Collection of your data when you visit the website by us and our vendors using cookies and other technologies
• Transmission of your data (pseudonymous cookie ID, IP address) within an anonymous environment (so-called cookie matching process)
• Auctioning advertising space
• Purchasing advertising space
• Displaying advertising on the website

You can find further information on data processing under joint controllership by the other vendors in their respective Privacy Policies, which you can access via our “Privacy Manager”.

To exercise your rights as a data subject (more on this in the section “What are your rights relating to your data?”), you can either contact us directly (our contact details can be found in the “Contact” section) or get in touch with the vendors specified in the “Privacy Manager”. Moreover, the joint controllers have agreed that Ströer, as the publisher of the website, will act as the central point of contact vis-à-vis all joint controllers in regard to data subjects exercising their rights.

Which of your personal data do we process?

We process data about you when you use our website, for example to read an article or watch a video. We process the following data in connection with the website:

As the sole controller or as joint controllers:

HTTP data

When you visit the website, the browser used on your end device or the respective app uses the so-called Hypertext Transfer Protocol (Secure) (HTTP(S)) to collect certain data for technical reasons, such as your IP address, Internet browser type and version, operating system used, language used, the page accessed, the page previously visited (referrer URL), as well as the date and time of access.

Device-related data

When you access a digital offer via a mobile device, the so-called IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers) of the mobile device may be read out. The IDFA is an identification number of a mobile device that enables the device to be identified for advertising purposes.

Location-related data

With the HTTP data, the approximate location of your end device can be determined (the postcode area is determined).

Cookie data

When you use our website, cookies and similar technologies (collectively “cookies”) can be stored in the browser of your end device, among other things, to modulate target group-related advertising. Cookies are tiny text files. When you visit the website again, the cookies can be identified from your browser.

We ask for your consent via our “Privacy Manager” before cookies are used. We only use cookies that are absolutely necessary for technical reasons (so-called strictly necessary cookies), even without your consent. Cookies used to modulate target group-related advertising are only used with your consent. The cookies under no circumstances store data such as your name, address, e-mail address or IP address.

You can find further information on the cookies that we use in our “Privacy Manager”.

You can, of course, also use the website without cookies. You can generally reject cookies in your browser without our assistance by adjusting the settings accordingly. You can also delete cookies that have already been set in your browser settings. However, if you reject cookies, you may not be able to use the full functionality of the website.

Social buttons

Our website contains social buttons from various social network services (“SNS”). We have linked more detailed information on the purpose and scope of processing relating to these social buttons of the respective SNS in the section on social buttons.

As the sole controller:

Surveys, promotions and competitions

We give you the opportunity to participate in surveys or competitions from time to time. Participation is, of course, voluntary. If you participate, we may request and process additional data from you (e.g., your name, your address for the purpose of notifying you in case you win, and your e-mail address and telephone number to ensure that you are notified in case you win even if you accidentally provided an incorrect address, and your date of birth to verify your age).

Under no circumstances are data that we collect in connection with surveys, promotions and competitions ever linked to data that we collect when you visit the website (such as HTTP data, device-related or location-related data, or cookie data).

Any further use of your data, for example to publish the winner on our website, will only take place with your express consent.

Newsletters

If you consent to receiving one or more of our newsletters, we will process the e-mail address that you have provided. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. To do so, simply follow the link to unsubscribe from the newsletter at the bottom of the respective e-mail or use the contact details specified in the “Contact” section.

Are you obligated to provide us with your data?

You are generally not obligated to provide us with your data. However, using certain functions may require you to provide personal data, e.g., subscribing to a newsletter or participating in a competition. We will inform you of this when it is the case. If you do not want to provide us with the data required for this purpose, you will unfortunately not be able to use the corresponding functions.

Privacy Manager

The “Privacy Manager” contains an exact overview of which partners process data for which purposes, and in particular which partners create user profiles based on the collected data. You can reach the “Privacy Manager” via the link with the same name – “Privacy Manager”. This link can be found on every subpage of the website.

In order to provide maximum transparency for you as a user, we and our commissioned vendors participate in the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework (“TCF”), and are subject to its specifications and guidelines. The processor for this is the Consent Management Platform (“CMP”) of Sourcepoint Technologies Inc., 228 Park Ave S #87903, New York 10003-1502, USA (“Sourcepoint”). We also refer to the CMP as the “Privacy Manager” in this Privacy Policy. Sourcepoint is listed under identification number 6 as part of the TFC.

You can find more information about data protection and Sourcepoint here: https://www.sourcepoint.com/privacy-policy. You can also find out more about the TCF on the IAB Europe website: https://iabeurope.eu/

Advertising- and tracking-free service

We offer you an advertising- and tracking-free service on our website, which is called contentpass and is an offer from Content Pass GmbH, Wolfswerder 58, 14532 Kleinmachnow, Germany. When you sign up for the Service, contentpass becomes your contractual partner. For more information about this service, please visit contentpass.net.

We are exclusively responsible for the processing of your IP address. The processing is necessary for technical reasons in order to display and offer you the service of contentpass. For more information regarding data processing at contentpass, please read their Privacy Policy.

The basis for the data processing of the IP address, within the scope of order processing with contentpass, is our legitimate interest in offering you the possibility to access our website free of advertising and tracking and your legitimate interest in using our website virtually without advertising and tracking [Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) DSGVO, in conjunction with § 25 para. 2 no. 2 TTDSG]. In addition, we hereby fulfill the legal obligation to obtain legally compliant consent to data processing requiring consent [Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) DSGVO in conjunction with § 25 para. 2 No. 2 TTDSG].

What are the purposes and legal bases for collecting your data?

If your terminal equipment is accessed and cookies or similar technologies are used, we rely on the following legal basis:

• Consent (§25 TTDSG (1) in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 letter. a, Art. 7 GDPR)
  Further information about the purpose for which your terminal equipment is accessed or which accesses are made can be found in the following sections „Which of your personal data do we process?“ und „Cookies on www.stylevamp.com“.

We primarily process your data to make this website available. The individual processing purposes and the associated legal bases are listed in the tables of the following sections.

Who do we disclose your data to?

We disclose your data to certain partners as well as other trusted companies or persons in connection with the data processing described in this Privacy Policy. This takes place in accordance with applicable law as well as appropriate confidentiality and security measures with which we ensure the protection of your data at all times. In case of order processing (i.e., if data are processed on our behalf), this takes place on the basis of our instructions. Moreover, only our employees have access to your data.

We utilise the following categories of processors:

• IT service providers (technical support)
• IT service providers (data hosting providers)
• Customer support (e-mail, telephone)
• Providers of web analysis tools
• CMP providers

Beyond that, if need be, we disclose your data to the following categories of third parties:

• We disclose data to vendors; you can find the list of vendors that we use in the “Privacy Manager”.
• We disclose your data to companies, organisations or individuals outside of our company if we have received your consent to do so.
• Moreover, we can disclose your data to authorities, courts, lawyers, auditors and tax consultants if necessary.

Where do we process your personal data?

As the controller, we process your data ourselves and exclusively within the European Union (“EU”). However, your data will be processed by the recipients specified in the section “Who do we disclose your data to?” – both inside and outside of the EU and the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Please note: When your data are transferred from your home country to another country, the laws there that protect your data may differ from those in your home country (and may only provide a lower level of protection). For example, in countries outside the EEA in particular, different conditions apply than within the EEA, under which law enforcement authorities can access your data. If we transmit your data to a country outside the EEA, we will (if necessary, together with other controllers partaking in the joint data processing) take suitable measures to ensure an appropriate level of data protection, in particular by concluding so-called standard contractual clauses – if necessary in connection with so-called additional guarantees – (Art. 46 GDPR) or by obtaining your express consent (Art. 49 (1) sentence 1 letter a GDPR).

You have the right to receive a copy of the specifically agreed regulations to ensure an appropriate level of data protection. For this purpose, please use the details provided in the “Contact” section.

For how long do we store your data?

We will not store your data longer than is necessary to fulfil the respective purpose for which they were collected, unless there is a legal basis for further processing (e.g., due to commercial or tax storage obligations). We will subsequently erase your data. The respective storage periods depend on the underlying purpose and the type of personal data.

Having said that, we store

• data that we use for personalised direct marketing (such as your e-mail address if you sign up for our newsletter) for a period of up to 12 months from the time of the last contact with you, unless you request prior deletion, and there are no statutory storage requirements.
• cookies that are not so-called session cookies for a period of 12 months generally, but for a maximum of 36 months. You can also delete cookies from your computer at any time (session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser or the website).
• data collected from surveys, promotions and competitions for as long as this is necessary for their execution, and beyond that for a period of 24 months.

If you object to receiving future advertising e-mails, we will block your data by using your name, address and, if applicable, the e-mail address provided in appropriate lists, which we will compare our advertising measures to. This is the only way to ensure that you will actually no longer receive any advertising e-mails. If you nevertheless wish to have your relevant data completely erased, please let us know.

What are your rights relating to your data?

You can exercise the following rights in regards to the processing of your data:

• The right to access by the data subject (Art. 15 GDPR)
• A right to rectification if your data are incorrect, or a right to completion if your data are incomplete (Art. 16 GDPR)
• A right to erasure, (1) if processing of your data for the stated purposes is no longer necessary, (2) if the processing is based on consent that you have withdrawn in the meantime, and there is no other legal basis for processing by us, (3 ) if you have raised an objection to the processing carried out by us, and – in the case of an objection for personal reasons – there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, (4) if we have processed your data unlawfully, or (5) if there is a legal obligation to erasure (so-called “right to be forgotten”, Art. 17 GDPR)
• A right to restriction of processing, (1) if you have contested the accuracy of your data for the period that we need to verify the accuracy, (2) if the processing of your data was unlawful, and you request the processing to be restricted instead of erased, (3) if processing by us for the purposes stipulated is no longer necessary, but you need your data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or (4) if you have raised an objection to processing carried out by us, which is based on our legitimate interests, as long as it has not yet been determined that our legitimate interests outweigh your rights (Art. 18 GDPR)
• A right to data portability concerning the data that you have provided to us, where the processing is based on your consent or on a contract concluded with us, i.e., you can request that the data you have provided to us be transmitted to you or a third party in a structured, common and machine-readable format (Art. 20 GDPR)
• A right to object to processing if we process your data for direct marketing purposes or on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 21 GDPR). For more details, see the section “Right to object according to Art. 21 GDPR” of this Privacy Policy.
• If our processing is based on your consent, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time. This does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the revocation (Art. 7 (3) GDPR).

These rights are to some extent restricted by law. Thus, if we are unable to fulfil these rights, we shall inform you accordingly. Moreover, you have the right to lodge a complaint about the processing of your data with the competent supervisory authority. To assert your rights, it suffices to send us an informal message – please use the details provided in the “Contact” section.

Right to object according to Art. 21 GDPR

Right to object to direct advertising

You can object to the use of your data for advertising purposes at any time, even if the use of the data is also permitted by law without your consent.

The consequence of an objection is the cessation of future use. This does not affect the use prior to the objection. You can find more information on the blocking of your data (restriction of processing) in the section “What are your rights relating to your data?” of this Privacy Policy.

Right to object for personal reasons

You have the right to object to us processing your data for reasons that arise from your particular personal situation, insofar as this is based on our legitimate interests. We will then stop processing your data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for further processing which outweigh your rights, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

To assert your objection, it suffices to send us an informal message – please use the details provided in the “Contact” section.

Please note that data processing under joint controllership, and generally in connection with cookies, does not allow us to identify you by your name or e-mail address.

You do not incur any costs for objecting, and no negative consequences result for you. In this case, the lawfulness of the data processing prior to your objection remains unaffected.

Cookies on www.stylevamp.com

In addition to cookies, we also use other technologies on our website; we do this so that we can offer you a user-friendly and secure website, and adapt our services to your needs and interests, e.g., by individualising your browser experience or displaying ads on our website that are tailored to you. We refer to all of them collectively in the following as “cookies”.

We use cookies to collect information about you when you visit our website. Cookies are small text files that enable your browser to be recognised and that are sent to your computer or mobile device.

Types of cookies

We use different types of cookies:

Session cookies:

Session cookies allow for your activities on the website to be saved during your browser session. These cookies are deleted when you close your browser or the website.

Persistent cookies:

Persistent cookies are stored beyond the specific browser session for a certain period of time. These cookies are also referred to as “tracking cookies”, “analysis cookies” or “conversion cookies”, and help us to recognise your browser, your interests and your user behaviour, and to tailor the offer to your individual needs. These cookies are used to optimise your website or service experience by registering how, when, and how often you use the services and which links you click on. This enables, for example, trends, stories, ads and follower suggestions to be tailored to you.

Your rights / setting options

Apart from so-called strictly necessary cookies, we only process cookies with your consent.

Strictly necessary cookies are cookies that are absolutely necessary for the provision of our offers (e.g., the cookie which enables our “Privacy Manager” to work).

You can, of course, also use the offer without cookies. Browsers can be set so that cookies are generally rejected. You can also delete cookies that have already been set in your browser settings. However, if you reject all cookies (i.e., also the strictly necessary cookies), you may not be able to use the full functionality of the website.

We process the anonymised data on the basis of legal regulations that allow us to process personal data because we have an overriding legitimate interest in gaining a better understanding of the interests that visitors to our fanpage have (Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR).

Facebook offers various community functions on the fanpages, which you can utilise to interact with other users, for example by posting something, leaving comments or liking or sharing posts. We would like to point out that these are publicly accessible spaces, and any personal information that you post there, or provide when registering, can be seen by others. We cannot control how other users of the fanpages use this information. In particular, we cannot prevent you from receiving unsolicited messages.

Regarding the data processing relating to page insights on our Facebook fanpages, Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland is the joint point of contact and processes all requests to exercise the rights mentioned.

Third-party content

Some of the articles on the website allow for external third-party content to be viewed (e.g., a Twitter post related to an article). Embedded third-party content of this nature is also referred to as social embeds.

To protect your data, before displaying external content from third-party providers, we point out that data will be transmitted if you choose to view this external third-party content. You can then decide whether you want to consent to your data being transmitted to the respective third-party provider, and the content will subsequently be displayed if you click on it, or you can decide not to view the third-party content.

We obtain separate consent for each third-party provider, which you can revoke for each third-party provider at any time with effect for the future.
