1. access data and hosting

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time a website is accessed, the web server merely automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access.

This access data is analyzed exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. Pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our website, which are overriding in the context of a balancing of interests. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to our website.

Hosting services by a third-party provider

As part of processing on our behalf, a third-party provider provides us with the services for hosting and displaying the website.

2. data collection and use for contract processing and when opening a customer account

We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order, when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail) or when opening a customer account. Mandatory fields are marked as such, as in these cases we need the data to process the contract or to process your contact or open the customer account and you cannot complete the order and/or open the account or send the contact without providing it.

After completion of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law, 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.

Deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

3. data transfer

In order to fulfill the contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods.

Depending on which payment service provider you select in the ordering process, we will pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the payment service provider commissioned by us or to the selected payment service in order to process payments.

In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you create an account with them. In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process.

In this respect, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies.

Data transfer to shipping service providers

If you have given us your express consent to this during or after your order, we will pass on your telephone number to the selected shipping service provider in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR so that they can contact you before delivery for the purpose of delivery notification or coordination.

Use of Google (Universal) Analytics for web analysis

Insofar as you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR (cookie consent functionality active on our website from 25.05.2018), this website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC (www.google.de), for the purpose of website analysis. Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods that enable your use of the website to be analyzed, such as cookies. The automatically collected information about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

By activating IP anonymization on this website, the IP address is shortened before transmission within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of 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 truncated there. The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. After the end of the purpose and the end of the use of Google Analytics by us, the data collected in this context will be deleted.

Google LLC is headquartered in the USA and is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. A current certificate can be viewed here.

We use Google Adwords to advertise this website in Google search results and on third-party websites. If you have given us your consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR (cookie consent functionality active on our website from 25.05.2018), when you visit our website, the so-called Remarketing cookie is set by Google, which automatically enables interest-based advertising by means of a pseudonymous cookie ID and on the basis of the pages you visit. After the end of the purpose and the end of the use of Google AdWords Remarketing by us, the data collected in this context will be deleted.

Any further data processing will only take place if you have consented to Google linking your web and app browsing history to your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalize ads you see on the web.

In this case, if you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, Google temporarily links your personal data with Google Analytics data in order to create target groups.

7. social media plugins

Use of social plugins from Facebook, Instagram

Social plugins (“plugins”) from social networks are used on our website. When you access a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Facebook, Google, Twitter or Instagram.

The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by the respective provider and integrated into the page. By integrating the plugins, the providers receive the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile or are not currently logged in.

This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a server of the respective provider (possibly in the USA) and stored there.

If you are logged in to one of the services, the providers can directly assign the visit to our website to your profile in the respective social network. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “Like” or “Share” button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a server of the provider and stored there. The information is also published on the social network and displayed to your contacts there.

This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests, in the optimal marketing of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers as well as a contact option and your rights and setting options in this regard to protect your privacy can be found in the providers’ data protection notices:

• http://www.facebook.com/policy.php
• https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388

If you do not want the social networks to assign the data collected via our website directly to your profile in the respective service, you must log out of the respective service before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the plugins from loading with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with the script blocker “NoScript”(http://noscript.net/).

Youtube Video Plugins

Third-party content is integrated on this website. This content is provided by Google LLC (“Provider”). YouTube is operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

For videos from YouTube that are embedded on our site, the extended data protection setting is activated. This means that no information from website visitors is collected and stored by YouTube unless they play the video. The integration of the videos serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests, in the optimal marketing of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy can be found in Google’s data protection information http://www.google.com/intl/de/+/policy/+1button.html

Pinterest Conversion Tracking

This website uses the conversion tracking technology of the social network Pinterest (Pinterest Europe Ltd., Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland), which enables website visitors who have already shown an interest in the website and its content/offers and are Pinterest members to also see relevant advertisements and offers on Pinterest.

For this purpose, a so-called conversion tracking pixel from Pinterest is integrated on the pages, via which Pinterest is informed when you visit the website that you have called up the website of Primal State Performance GmbH and which parts of our offer you were interested in. For example, if you have shown an interest in subscriptions on the website, you may be shown an advertisement for these subscriptions on Pinterest.

You can deactivate the collection of data for the display of interest-based advertising on Pinterest at any time in your Pinterest account settings at https://www.pinterest.de/settings (there under “Customization” the button “Use information from our partners to better tailor the recommendations and ads on Pinterest to you”) or at https://help.pinterest.com/de/article/personalization-and-data#info-ad (there deactivate the checkbox under “Disable customization”).
