Angie Acrylics may use data that users submit voluntarily as users of the website for the purpose of improving the website and the online shop and providing personalised support to users. This includes, among other things, sending information, offers or notifications relating to Angie Acrylics products.

Nature and purpose of the processing:

Your data will only be used to send you the newsletter you have subscribed to by email. Your name will be used to address you personally in the newsletter and, if necessary, to identify you if you wish to exercise your rights as a data subject.

To receive the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your e-mail address. When you register to receive the Angie Acrylics newsletter, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers may also be informed by e-mail about circumstances relevant to the service or registration.

Angie Acrylics requires a valid e-mail address for effective registration. The "double opt-in" procedure is used to verify that a registration is actually made by the owner of an e-mail address. For this purpose, Angie Acrylics logs the subscription to the newsletter, the sending of a confirmation email and the receipt of the requested reply. No further data is collected. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter and is not passed on to third parties.

Basis of processing:

On the basis of your express consent, Angie Acrylics will regularly send you a newsletter or similar information by e-mail to the e-mail address you have provided.

The provision of your personal data is voluntary, solely on the basis of your consent. Unfortunately, Angie Acrylics cannot send you the newsletter without your consent.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for sending the newsletter at any time with effect for the future. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter.

The data you enter will be stored for the purpose of personalised communication with you. This requires you to provide a valid e-mail address and your name. This is used to allocate the enquiry and subsequently answer it. The provision of further data is optional.

Basis of processing:

The data entered in the contact form is processed on the basis of a legitimate interest.

By providing the contact form, Angie Acrylics would like to make it easy for you to contact us. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your enquiry and for possible follow-up questions.

If you contact Angie Acrylics to request a quote, the data entered in the contact form will be processed for the purpose of implementing pre-contractual and contractual measures and their processing.

8. Social-Media Content

The website may use social media plugins, e.g. from Instagram, Facebook etc.. These platforms have their own data protection regulations, over which Angie Acrylics has no influence.

If you as a user do not want any of these plugins to be loaded, you are therefore advised to log out of the relevant social media service. Furthermore, various browsers can be set or supplemented with add-ons (e.g. Facebook blocker) so that the social media plugins are not loaded.

9.1. Privacy policy for the use of Facebook/Instagram plugins (Like button)

Plugins from social networks are integrated on the Angie Acrylics website. You can recognise the plugins by the Facebook or Instagram logo or the "Like" button on the Angie Acrylics website.

When you visit the pages (social media), a direct connection is established between your browser and the Facebook server via the plugin. Facebook receives the information that you have visited the Angie Acrylics site with your IP address. If you click on the Facebook/Instagram button while you are logged into your account, you can link the content of Angie Acrylics' social network pages to your profile. This allows Facebook and Instagram to associate your visit to the pages with your user account.

Basis of processing:

The provision of your personal data is voluntary, solely on the basis of your consent. If you prevent access, this may result in functional restrictions on the website.

Recipients:

Angie Acrylics would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, it has no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook or Instagram.

Storage duration:

Angie Acrylics would also like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, it has no knowledge of the use of the data and thus the holding period.

Revocation of consent:

If you do not want Facebook and Instagram to be able to associate your visit to Angie Acrylics' pages with your user account, please log out of your Facebook and Instagram user account.

9.2. Google AdWords

Type and purpose of processing:

The Angie Acrylics website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The company operating the Google AdWords services is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you have reached the website via an advert placed by Google, Google AdWords will set a cookie on your computer. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an advert placed by Google.

If the user visits certain pages of the Angie Acrylics website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and Angie Acrylics can recognise that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their advert and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

Basis of processing:

The legal basis for the integration of Google AdWords and the associated data transfer to Google is your consent.

The provision of your personal data is voluntary, solely on the basis of your consent. If you prevent access, this may result in functional restrictions on the website or in the online shop.

Each time you visit the Angie Acrylics website, personal data, including your IP address, is transferred to Google in the USA. This personal data is stored by Google. Google may share this personal data collected through the technical process with third parties.

Our company does not contain any information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.

These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification.

Third country transfer:

Google processes your data in the USA and has submitted to the EU_US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

Cancellation of consent:

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this - for example, by using a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies or by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "googleleadservices.com".

Please note that you may not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not wish measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all cookies in your browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

The purpose of the data processing is to analyse the use of the website and to compile reports on activities on the website. Based on the use of the website and the Internet, further associated services are then to be provided.
