If your contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. Otherwise, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis.
6) Data processing when opening a customer account and for contract processing

7) Use of your data for direct advertising
7.1 Registration for our e-mail newsletter
If you subscribe to our e-mail newsletter, we will send you regular information about our offers. Your e-mail address is mandatory for sending the newsletter. The provision of further data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for sending the newsletter. After registering, you will receive a confirmation e-mail asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter in future 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 sentence 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 e-mail 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 via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a message to the controller named above. 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 your data for other purposes that are permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.
7.2 Sending the e-mail newsletter to existing customers
If you have provided us with your e-mail address when purchasing goods, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods 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 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. If you have initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send any emails for this purpose.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by sending us the message “Stop” via WhatsApp. Once you have unsubscribed, your mobile phone number will be deleted from our newsletter mailing list immediately, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or it is otherwise permitted by law. Please note that WhatsApp receives access to the address book of the mobile device we use to send the newsletter and automatically transfers the telephone numbers stored in the address book to a Meta (formerly Facebook) server in the USA. However, the provider has implemented the so-called standard contractual clauses of the European Union and is certified under the EU-US data protection agreement to ensure an adequate level of data protection. We also carry out a case-by-case risk analysis to ensure data protection. The transmission of data of users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.

Based on your explicit consent under Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, when you click on an advertisement we run on Meta or TikTok, the URL of our linked page is appended with a suffix. This URL parameter is then stored in your browser via a cookie set by our linked page.

This cookie is then read by the Meta Pixel or TikTok Pixel, allowing the data to be forwarded to Meta or TikTok. The information is typically transmitted to a Meta or TikTok server and stored there. This may involve transmission to Meta Platforms Inc. servers in the USA.
To ensure an adequate level of data protection, Meta Platforms Inc. is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and has implemented Standard Contractual Clauses. Additionally, we conduct individual risk assessments to ensure maximum data protection.
This process allows us to identify visitors to our online offerings as a target audience for personalized advertising. We ensure that you only see advertisements relevant to your interests in our online offerings or specific characteristics (e.g., interests in specific topics or products) that we transmit to Meta or TikTok ("Custom Audiences"). Furthermore, we can analyze the effectiveness of our advertisements for statistical and market research purposes by determining whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement ("Conversion").

Additionally, GMP can use cookie IDs to track "conversions," which occur when you see a GMP ad and later visit the advertiser's website using the same browser and make a purchase. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain personal information. Data processing is based on your consent under Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's server. We have no control over the scope or further use of data collected by Google through GMP and provide information according to our current knowledge as follows: Through GMP integration, Google receives information that you visited the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our ads.

10.6 Qualtrics XM
We use the Qualtrics XM Experience Management software, provided by Qualtrics LLC, 333 W. River Park Drive, Provo, UT 84604, USA, to create and share surveys and other feedback mechanisms. This allows us to receive direct feedback from users about the air up brand.
To this end, data is shared with Qualtrics XM in compliance with GDPR. When Qualtrics XM is used to collect feedback via the air up website, a script runs through the Google Tag Manager, enabling Qualtrics XM content to be displayed only to specific audiences (e.g., returning vs. new users). This script transmits data to Qualtrics XM, where it is stored and made available for analysis. If feedback is collected via a direct link to a questionnaire, Qualtrics XM stores the data on its servers without using additional services. When other services (e.g., CRM systems) are used to distribute these links, pseudonymized data may also be transmitted to Qualtrics XM as "embedded data" through a URL parameter.
For this purpose, the following personal data may be shared with Qualtrics XM, depending on the context: - Customer ID - Current and past order details - Responses provided - Website language - Website usage details
Data processing is voluntary and occurs only with your explicit consent, in accordance with Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

This may include transmission to servers operated by Google LLC in the United States.
This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the "_anonymizeIp()" extension, which ensures the anonymization of IP addresses by truncating them, thereby excluding direct personal identification. With this extension, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA). Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a server of Google LLC in the USA and truncated there.
To ensure an adequate level of data protection, Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and has implemented the European Union's Standard Contractual Clauses. Additionally, we conduct individual risk assessments to ensure maximum data protection.

Google Signals This website also uses Google Signals, an extension of Google Analytics. Google Signals allows us to create cross-device reports (known as "Cross Device Tracking"). If you have enabled "personalized ads" in your Google Account settings and linked your internet-enabled devices to your Google Account, Google can analyze user behavior across devices and create database models based on this analysis.
These models consider the logins and device types of all visitors who were logged into a Google account and completed a conversion. For instance, the data may show on which device you first clicked on an ad and on which device the corresponding conversion occurred.
