Data protection
We are very pleased that you are interested in our company. The protection of your personal data is important to us. We collect and use your personal data exclusively in accordance with and within the framework of the data protection law applicable in Germany, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and all other applicable data protection regulations.
Below we inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data when using our website. You can access this information at any time on our website.
Personal data is all data with which a natural person (data subject) can be identified directly or indirectly, e.g. name, address, e-mail address, user behavior of a natural person.
I. Name and contact details of the person responsible and contact details of the data protection officer

II. General principles
1 . Scope and legal basis of processing
We only process personal data in accordance with legal regulations. In particular, personal data is only processed if you have given your consent or if the processing is otherwise legally permitted.
If we obtain consent from the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
We indicate the respective legal basis for processing in connection with the information on the individual data processing operations in this data protection declaration or when you provide your personal data.
2. Transfer of data
Within our company, only those departments that need your data to protect our legitimate interests or to fulfill our contractual or legal obligations or to answer your inquiries will have access to your data.
In some cases, we use external service providers to process your data, who process data on our behalf as contract processors (e.g. for central IT services or hosting our website). Service providers who act as contract processors for us may only use the data in accordance with our instructions. In this case, we are legally responsible for ensuring that the companies we commission take appropriate data protection precautions. The companies were carefully selected by us, commissioned in writing in accordance with the legal requirements, are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored.
Your personal data will only be transferred to third parties if this is legally permissible, in particular if
-You have expressly given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a of GDPR,
-the transfer according to Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter b of GDPR is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you,
-there is a legal obligation to disclose data pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR,
- the transfer according to Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f of GDPR is necessary to protect our legitimate interests, unless your interests outweigh them.
If we intend to pass on personal data to third parties, you will find more information about this in the information on the individual data processing operations in this data protection declaration or when you provide your personal data.
3. Duration of storage and deletion of data
We process and store personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of processing. If the purpose of processing no longer applies, the data will be deleted unless legal retention obligations prevent deletion. In the latter case, processing will be restricted in order to fulfill the retention obligations.
You will find more information in connection with the information on the individual data processing operations in this data protection declaration or when you provide your personal data.

5. Data processing when registering a customer account
You can voluntarily create a customer account. When you register, the registration data entered in the registration form is sent to us and saved. In addition, other data is saved in your customer account, e.g. orders made after logging into your customer account, billing and delivery addresses. With this function, we want to make future ordering processes easier for you, for example, by allowing you to access your already saved data when making subsequent purchases by logging into your customer account and not having to enter your data again. You also have the option of viewing previous orders, among other things.
As part of the registration process, your consent will be obtained with reference to this data protection declaration that you agree to the registration of a customer account. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a of GDPR based on your voluntarily given consent. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. For example, an email to service@himalayashop.de is sufficient. For more information, please refer to our information on the rights of the data subject under Section IV. 1 and on the exercise of this right under Section IV. 8 of this data protection declaration.
We delete the data in the customer account or the customer account if you revoke your consent or otherwise request that we delete it. However, the deletion does not include data that we have stored for other purposes (e.g. data based on orders placed that we need to process the contract).
6. Data processing for the purpose of sending newsletters
If you have subscribed to our newsletter, we will use the data you enter in the input mask exclusively to send you our newsletter with current information about products, services and marketing campaigns, trade fairs and other news. To receive the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide an email address; you can provide your name voluntarily. If you provide us with your name, we will only use it to address you personally. The data will not be passed on to third parties.
We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to register for our newsletter. This means that after you register, we will send you an email to the email address you provided, asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. The data processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a of GDPR.
You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. For more information, please see our information on the rights of the data subject under Section IV. 1 and on exercising this right under Section IV. 8 of this data protection declaration. You can revoke your consent by clicking on the link provided in each newsletter email, by email to service@himalayashop.de or by sending a message to the contact details provided in the imprint.
When you register for the newsletter, the following data is also collected:
-the IP address of the computer system used at the time of registration and
-Date and time of registration and confirmation.
The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to prove your registration and to be able to check for any misuse of your email address at a later date. The collection of this data therefore serves our legal protection. The legal basis is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f of GDPR. We would like to point out that if data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f of GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 of GDPR. You can find more information on this under Section IV. 10 of this data protection declaration. Since the storage is necessary for our legal protection, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.
Your data will be stored as long as you subscribe to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, the data will be deleted. The further use of data that has been stored by us for other purposes and which we are legally entitled to process on the basis of another legal basis (e.g. in relation to data required for contract processing) remains unaffected.
IV. Rights of the data subject
As a data subject, you have the following rights:

10. Separate information about your right of objection according to Article 21 GDPR
In the following, we would like to draw your particular attention to your right of objection in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR:
Right to object
a) Case-specific right of objection according to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR
The prerequisite for this right of objection is that data processing is carried out on the basis of the provisions of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter e or f of GDPR.
Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter e regulates the case where processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. This primarily applies to bodies exercising sovereign power such as the federal government, the states and their authorities or entrusted private individuals.
Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR permits processing if it is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject prevail.
If data processing is carried out on one of these grounds, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for reasons related to your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
Consequences of the objection: After an objection, we will no longer process the data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
b) Right to object to the processing of data for direct marketing purposes
The prerequisite for this right of objection is that your data is processed for direct marketing purposes.
In this case, you have the right to object at any time to data processing for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to profiling if it is related to direct advertising.
The consequence of the objection is that the data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
c) Exercise of the right to object
If you would like to exercise your right of objection in accordance with a) or b), you can contact us at any time via service@himalayashop.de or via the contact details provided in the imprint and in this privacy policy.
