You can recognize an encrypted connection by the character string “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser line. If these are missing, please stop using the website immediately and inform us. These are probably so-called phishing sites.
  • Data collection when using our services
    1. If you use our website for informational purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called “server log files”). When you visit our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:
      • Our visited website
      • Date and time at the time of access
      • Amount of data sent in bytes
      • Source/reference from which you reached the page
      • Browser used
      • Operating system used
      • IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data is not passed on or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.

  1. When using our APP:

In order to use the app, you must register at www.uncrn.io. The data required for login is stored on the www.uncrn.io server.

When logging into the uncrn app, the login details are compared with those on the server and the user’s purchased books are retrieved.

No data is stored in the app.

  • Cookies
    1. In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your end device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted again at the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device and enable us or our partner companies (third-party cookies) to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). If cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information such as browser and location data and IP address values to an individual extent. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie.
    2. In some cases, cookies are used to simplify the ordering process by saving settings (e.g. remembering the contents of a virtual shopping cart for a later visit to the website). If personal data is also processed by individual cookies implemented by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR either for the execution of the contract or in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the page visit.
    3. We may work with advertising partners who help us to make our website more interesting for you. For this purpose, cookies from partner companies are also stored on your hard disk when you visit our website (third-party cookies). If we work together with the aforementioned advertising partners, you will be informed individually and separately about the use of such cookies and the scope of the information collected in each case in the following paragraphs.
    4. For billing reasons, it is tracked whether the user was forwarded from one of our partner stores (e.g. Weltbild Online). This data is only used for internal billing purposes and is not passed on.
    5. Please note that you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. Each browser differs in the way it manages cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of each browser, which explains how you can change your cookie settings. You can find these for the respective browsers under the following links:
      • Internet Explorer: https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/help/17442/windows-internet-explorer-delete-manage-cookies

  • Contact us
    1. Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email). Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.
  • Data processing when opening a customer account and for contract processing
    1. In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, personal data will continue to be collected and processed if you provide it to us for the execution of a contract or when opening a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. Deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done by sending a message to the above-mentioned address of the controller. We store and use the data provided by you to process the contract. After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked with regard to retention periods under tax and commercial law and deleted after these periods have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we have reserved the right to further use of your data as permitted by law, about which we will inform you accordingly below.
  • Use of single sign-on procedures
    1. Google+ Sign-In

On our website, you can log in to create a customer account or register using the social plugin “Google+ Sign-In” of the social network Google+ , which is operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google+”), using the so-called single sign-on technology if you have a Google+ profile. You can recognize the social plugins of “Google+ Sign-In” or “Register with Google” on our website by a red button with the Google+ logo and the inscription “Google Sign-In” or “Register with Google” or “Sign in with Google” or “Sign in with G”.

When you access a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Google+ servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Google+ directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Google+ receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Google+ profile or are not currently logged in to Google+. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Google+ server in the USA and stored there. These data processing operations are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google’s legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising based on your surfing behavior.

By using this Google+ button on our website, you also have the option of logging in or registering on our website using your Google+ user data. Only if you give your express consent before the registration process on the basis of a corresponding notice about the exchange of data with Google in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, we will receive the general and publicly accessible information stored in your profile when using the Google+ button from Google+, depending on your personal data protection settings on Google+. This information includes the user ID, name, profile picture, age and gender.

Please note that following changes to Google+’s privacy policy and terms of use, your profile pictures, the user IDs of your friends and your friends list may also be transferred if you have given your consent and these have been marked as “public” in your privacy settings on Google+. The data transmitted by Google+ will be stored and processed by us to create a user account with the necessary data, if this has been released by you on Google+ (title, first name, surname, address data, country, e-mail address, date of birth). Conversely, based on your consent, data (e.g. information about your surfing or purchasing behavior) may be transferred from us to your Google+ profile.

The consent given can be revoked at any time by sending a message to the controller named at the beginning of this declaration.

According to the findings of the European Court of Justice, Google LLC, based in the USA, does not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that in Europe. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google+ as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in Google+’s data protection information:

https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

You can view the terms of use for the use of “Google+ Sign-In” or “Register with Google” here:

https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html

If you do not want Google+ to assign the data collected via our website directly to your Google+ profile, you must log out of Google+ before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the Google+ plugins from loading with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with “Adblock Plus”(https://adblockplus.org/de/).

The legal basis for the transfer of your data to the USA is Art. (1) a – if you consent to the transfer with knowledge of the risks – Art. 49 (1) b and c – if the data processing is necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

  • Use of your data for direct marketing
    1. Subscribe to our newsletter

If you subscribe to our e-mail newsletter, we will send you regular information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of any other data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for sending the newsletter. This means that we will only send you an e-mail newsletter if you have expressly confirmed to us that you consent to the newsletter being sent. We will then send you a confirmation e-mail asking you to confirm that you wish to receive future newsletters by clicking on a corresponding link.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. When you register for the newsletter, we store your IP address entered by the Internet service provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace any possible misuse of your email address at a later date. The data collected by us when you register for the newsletter will be used exclusively for the purposes of advertising by means of the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a message to the controller named at the beginning. Once you have unsubscribed, your e-mail address will be deleted from our newsletter distribution list immediately, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

  1. Sending the newsletter to existing customers

If you have provided us with your e-mail address when purchasing products, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar products to those you have already purchased from our range by e-mail. In accordance with Section 7 (3) UWG, we do not need to obtain separate consent from you for this. In this respect, data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you have initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send you any emails. You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by sending a message to the controller named at the beginning. You will only incur transmission costs for this in accordance with the basic rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your e-mail address for advertising purposes will be discontinued immediately.
