The free and freely accessible content of this website has been created with the greatest possible care. However, the provider of this website does not guarantee that the free and freely accessible journalistic advice and news provided is correct and up-to-date. Articles marked by name reflect the opinion of the respective author and not always the opinion of the provider. Simply accessing the free and freely accessible content does not create any contractual relationship between the user and the provider; in this respect, the provider has no intention of being legally bound.

This website contains links to third-party websites ("external links"). These websites are subject to the liability of the respective operators. When the external links were first linked, the provider checked the external content for any legal violations. At that time, no legal violations were apparent. The provider has no influence on the current and future design and content of the linked pages. The setting of external links does not mean that the provider adopts the content behind the reference or link as its own. Constant monitoring of external links is unreasonable for the provider without concrete evidence of legal violations. However, if legal violations are known, such external links will be deleted immediately.

The content published on this website is subject to German copyright and ancillary copyright law. Any use not permitted by German copyright and ancillary copyright law requires the prior written consent of the provider or the respective rights holder. This applies in particular to copying, editing, translating, storing, processing or reproducing content in databases or other electronic media and systems. Content and rights of third parties are marked as such. The unauthorized copying or distribution of individual content or entire pages is not permitted and is punishable by law. Only the production of copies and downloads for personal, private and non-commercial use is permitted.

The display of this website in external frames is only permitted with written permission.

If special conditions for individual uses of this website deviate from the aforementioned paragraphs, this will be expressly stated at the appropriate point. In this case, the special terms of use apply in each individual case.

In accordance with the statutory provisions of data protection law (in particular the BDSG nF and the European General Data Protection Regulation 'DS-GVO'), we will inform you below about the type, scope and purpose of the processing of personal data by our company. This data protection declaration also applies to our websites and social media profiles. For the definition of terms such as "personal data" or "processing", please refer to Art. 4 GDPR.

Our responsible party (hereinafter referred to as “responsible party”) within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR is:

Managing Director: Tina Lubitz

Receiving stolen goods – The Alliance for Textile Offences GbR

Geisselstr. 56

50823 Cologne

Below we inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection, processing and use of personal data.

Usage data (access times, websites visited, etc.), contact data (telephone number, email, fax, etc.), content data (text entries, videos, photos, etc.),

Optimize the website technically and economically, Enable easy access to the website, Support commercial use of the website, Improve user experience, Make the website user-friendly, Customer service and customer care, Handle contact requests,

Visitors/users of the website, customers, interested parties,

The persons concerned are collectively referred to as “users”.

Below we inform you about the legal basis for the processing of personal data:

If we have obtained your consent to process personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures at your request, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR is the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g. statutory retention periods), Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR is the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. d) GDPR is the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh them, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR is the legal basis.

As a matter of principle, we do not pass on any data to third parties without your consent. Should this be the case, the data will be passed on based on the legal bases mentioned above, e.g. when data is passed on to online payment providers to fulfil a contract or due to a court order or due to a legal obligation to release the data for the purposes of criminal prosecution, to avert danger or to enforce intellectual property rights.

We also use contract processors (external service providers, e.g. for web hosting of our websites and databases) to process your data. If data is passed on to the contract processors as part of a contract processing agreement, this is always done in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. We select our contract processors carefully, monitor them regularly and have been granted the right to give instructions with regard to the data. In addition, the contract processors must have taken suitable technical and organizational measures and comply with the data protection regulations in accordance with the BDSG nF and GDPR.

The adoption of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has created a uniform basis for data protection in Europe. Your data will therefore be processed primarily by companies to which the GDPR applies. If processing is carried out by third-party services outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, these must meet the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR. This means that processing is carried out on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination by the EU Commission of a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations, the so-called "standard contractual clauses". For US companies, submission to the so-called "Privacy Shield", the data protection agreement between the EU and the USA, meets these requirements.

Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies, unless further storage is required for evidentiary purposes or if statutory retention periods conflict with this. This includes, for example, commercial retention requirements for business letters pursuant to Section 257 Para. 1 HGB (6 years) and tax retention requirements for receipts pursuant to Section 147 Para. 1 AO (10 years). When the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted unless storage is still required for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

If you use our website for information purposes only (i.e. you do not register or otherwise transmit information), we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data:

• IP address;

• User’s Internet service provider;

• Date and time of retrieval;

• Browser type;

• Language and browser version;

• Content of the retrieval;

• Time zone;

• Access status/HTTP status code;

• amount of data;

• Websites from which the request comes;

• Operating system.

This data will not be stored together with your other personal data.

This data serves the purpose of delivering our website to you in a user-friendly, functional and secure manner with functions and content as well as their optimization and statistical evaluation.

The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, which also lies in the above purposes.

For security reasons, we store this data in server log files for a storage period of 365 days. After this period, it is automatically deleted unless we need to keep it for evidential purposes in the event of attacks on the server infrastructure or other legal violations.

We use so-called cookies when you visit our website. Cookies are small text files that your Internet browser stores on your computer. When you visit our website again, these cookies provide information to automatically recognize you. The information obtained in this way is used to technically and economically optimize our web offerings and to enable you to access our website more easily and securely. When you visit our website, we will inform you about the use of cookies for the aforementioned purposes and how you can object to this or prevent their storage ("opt-out") by means of a reference to our data protection declaration. Our website uses session cookies, persistent cookies and third-party cookies:

• Session cookies: We use so-called cookies to recognize repeated use of an offer by the same user (e.g. when you have logged in to determine your login status). When you visit our site again, these cookies provide information to automatically recognize you. The information obtained in this way is used to optimize our offers and to give you easier access to our site. When you close the browser or log out, the session cookies are deleted.

• Persistent cookies: These are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which can vary depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.

• Third-party cookies: You can configure your browser settings according to your wishes and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. However, we would like to point out that you may then not be able to use all the functions of this website. Read more about these cookies in the respective third-party data protection declarations.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b) GDPR, if the cookies are set to initiate a contract, e.g. when placing orders, and otherwise we have a legitimate interest in the effective functionality of the website, so that in this case Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR is the legal basis.

Objection and "opt-out": You can generally prevent cookies from being saved on your hard drive by selecting "do not accept cookies" in your browser settings. However, this may result in a restriction of the functionality of our offers. You can object to the use of third-party cookies for advertising purposes via a so-called "opt-out" via this American website (https://optout.aboutads.info) or this European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/).

When you contact us via contact form, fax, post or email, your details will be processed for the purpose of processing your contact request.

The legal basis for processing the data if you have given your consent is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) GDPR. The legal basis for processing data transmitted in the course of a contact request or e-mail, letter or fax is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The controller has a legitimate interest in processing and storing the data in order to be able to answer user inquiries, to preserve evidence for liability reasons and, if necessary, to be able to comply with its statutory retention periods for business letters. If the aim of the contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

We may store your information and contact request in our customer relationship management system ("CRM system") or a similar system.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those that were sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with you has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified. We store inquiries from users who have an account or contract with us for two years after the contract has ended. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion takes place after these have expired: end of the commercial law (6 years) and tax law (10 years) retention period.

You have the option to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a) of GDPR at any time. If you contact us by email, you can object to the storage of personal data at any time.

We have integrated the website analysis tool “Google Analytics” (Google Ireland Limited, registration number: 368047, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) on our website.

When you visit our website, Google places a cookie on your computer to analyze your use of our website. The data obtained is transferred to the USA and stored there. If personal data is transferred to the USA, Google's certification in accordance with the Privacy Shield Agreement (https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework) offers the guarantee that European data protection law is adhered to.

We have activated IP anonymization “anonymizeIP”, which means that IP addresses are only processed in a shortened form. On this website, Google will therefore shorten your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the controller with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. We have also activated cross-device analysis of website visitors, which is carried out using a so-called user ID. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. The use of Google Analytics serves the purpose of analyzing, optimizing and improving our website.

The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, which also lies in the above purposes.

The data we send and which is linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs is automatically deleted after 12 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.

Further information on data usage by Google Analytics can be found here: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html (Analytics Terms of Use), https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de (Information on data protection by Analytics) and Google's privacy policy https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Objection and "opt-out": You can generally prevent cookies from being saved on your hard disk by selecting "do not accept cookies" in your browser settings. However, this may result in a restriction of the functionality of our offers. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

As an alternative to the browser plug-in above, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking [__please__insert your website's Analytics opt-out link here]. Clicking this will set an "opt-out" cookie that will prevent your data from being collected when you visit this website in the future. This cookie is only valid for our website and your current browser and only lasts until you delete your cookies. In that case, you would have to set the cookie again.

You can deactivate cross-device user analysis in your Google account under “My data > personal data”.

We maintain profiles or fan pages on social media in order to communicate with the users connected and registered there and to provide information about our products, offers and services. The US providers are certified according to the so-called Privacy Shield and are therefore obliged to comply with European data protection. When you use and access our profile in the respective network, the respective data protection information and terms of use of the respective network apply.

We process the data you send to us via these networks in order to communicate with you and to respond to your messages there.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is our legitimate interest in communicating with users and our external presentation for advertising purposes in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f) GDPR. If you have given the controller of the social network consent to process your personal data, the legal basis is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a) and Art. 7 GDPR.

Objection or revocation against the processing of your data

If the processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a), Art. 7 GDPR, 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 until the revocation.

If we base the processing of your personal data on the balance of interests in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f) of GDPR, you can object to the processing. This is the case if the processing is not necessary in particular to fulfill a contract with you, which we will explain in the description of the functions below. If you exercise such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we do. If your objection is justified, we will examine the situation and will either stop or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling legitimate reasons on the basis of which we continue the processing.

You can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time. You can exercise your right of objection free of charge. You can inform us of your objection to advertising using the following contact details:

You have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed. If this is the case, you have a right to information about your personal data stored by us in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR. This includes in particular information about the purposes of processing, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the origin of your data if it was not collected directly from you.

You have the right to have inaccurate data corrected or correct data completed in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR.

You have the right to have your data stored by us deleted in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, unless statutory or contractual retention periods or other legal obligations or rights to further storage conflict with this.

You have the right to request a restriction on the processing of your personal data if one of the conditions in Art. 18 para. 1 lit. a) to d) GDPR is met:

• If you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;

• the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of the use of the personal data instead;

• the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or

• if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.

You have a right to data portability according to Art. 20 GDPR, which means that you can receive the personal data we have stored about you in a structured, common and machine-readable format or you can request that it be transmitted to another controller.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.

We have taken appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect all personal data that is sent to us and to ensure that we and our external service providers adhere to data protection regulations. This is why, among other things, all data between your browser and our server is transmitted using an encrypted SSL connection.
