Use of cookies
1. Description and scope of data processing
Our website uses both technically necessary as well as analytics cookies. We are not doing this to track individual users or to identify them, but to gain useful knowledge about how the site is used.
Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user’s computer system. When a user accesses a website, a cookie may be stored on the user’s operating system. The cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be identified when the website is accessed in the future.
When accessing our website, the user is informed about the use of analytics cookies and their consent to the processing of the personal data used in this context is obtained. In this context, reference is also made to this privacy policy.
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis purposes is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given consent to this.
3. Purpose of data processing
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to optimise websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary for the browser to be identified also after having left the website.
The user data collected by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.
Analytics cookies are used for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its content. The analytics cookies tell us how the website is used so that we can further optimise its functionality.
These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in the subsequent processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
4. Duration of storage, objection and removal options
Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and retrieved by our website. As a user, you therefore have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the use of cookies by changing the settings in your internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all its functions to their full extent.
Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a website analytics service provided by Google Inc. The service is used on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Section 6(1)(f) GDPR to operate our website effectively. Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Our website uses Google Analytics with pseudonymisation of the data collected. Within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area Google will truncate your IP address. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
The data collected in this context are
· Information about the browser type and version used
· The user’s operating system
· The user’s internet service provider
· The IP address of the user (truncated)
· Date, time and duration of access
· Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
· Websites that are accessed by the user's system via our website
Detailed information on the use of data by Google can be found at the following link http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can use this browser plugin to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
Data collection when ordering goods
The moment you place an order with us, you conclude a contract with us. For this purpose, we require your personal data such as email address, first and last name and postal address, and process these exclusively for the purpose of fulfilling the contract in a legitimate interest in accordance with Section 6 (1) (b) and (f) GDPR.
For payment transactions, we have commissioned the payment service provider Stripe to process the payment. For this purpose, the payment service provider also requires your email address, first and last name, postal address, delivery address (if different) and the bank or card information required for the payment. This information is labelled as required in the order form. We store and use this information exclusively for the stated purposes. This includes credit checks and the forwarding of data required for contract processing to contracted service providers such as banks, delivery companies or transport companies.
The payment service provider Stripe collects its own data during the payment process. The scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the payment service provider as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in its data protection information at https://stripe.com/en-de/privacy.
Use of your e-mail address
The e-mail address used for orders is stored by us. We reserve the right to inform you about our offer by e-mail in accordance with § 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you no longer wish to receive information, you can object to this at any time with immediate effectby sending us an informal message, for example by e-mail to edition@objectif.de.
Social media
Our website links to our sites on various social media providers (e.g. Instagram). The use of these sites is generally tied to your consent for the social network operators to extensively use of your personal data. The scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the social media provider as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in the providers’ data protection notices.
Provision of the website and creation of log files
Each time our website is accessed, the host server records access and error logs. These can ssometimes contain IP addresses that can be assigned to a user. This could be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user accesses the website or the link to the website to which the user switches contains personal data.
The sole purpose of storing this data is to ensure the security of the website and to understand serious programme errors. It is not linked to other personal data of the user or profiled for marketing purposes.
These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object.
Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the user for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the user or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to secure a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
Deleting data and duration of storage
The personal data of the user will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
Rights of the user
If your personal data is processed, you are a ‘data subject’ within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:
1. Right to information

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.
2. Right to rectification
You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The controller must make the rectification without undue delay.
3. Right to restriction of processing
You may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under the following conditions

· the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
· the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
If the restriction of processing has been limited in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
4. Right to cancellation
a) Obligation to erase
You have the right to demand from the controller the deletion of personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
· The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
· You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

· The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.
· The deletion of personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under European Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
· The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.
b) Information to third parties
If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.
c) Exceptions
The right to erasure does not apply if the processing is necessary
· to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information
· for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by European Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller
· for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR
· for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or
· for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
5. Right to information
If you have claimed the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be informed of these recipients by the controller.
6. Right to data transfer
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where
· the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and
· the processing is carried out by automated means.
In claiming this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.
The right to data transfer does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
7. Right to object
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.
The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If the personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
You have the option of exercising your right to object in connection with the use of information society services - notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications.
8. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law
You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
9. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
