Legal basis

The term “personal data” under data protection law refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable individual.

  • at your request for the performance of pre-contractual measures,
  • to comply with a legal obligation,

Your privacy rights

You have the ability to exercise the following rights:

If you have a question about our personal information practices, please contact us.

If you make a request, we will confirm that we have received your request and let you know if we need anything else from you. We typically fulfill your request within one month unless the request is particularly complex, or we receive multiple requests from you. In these cases, we may extend the time period, but we will always let you know.

For your protection, we only fulfill requests for the personal information associated with the email address and/or account number that you identify in your request, and we may need to take other steps to verify your identity before taking any action. When permitted by law, we may charge an appropriate fee to cover the costs of responding to your request.

How we use your data

We use data that you transmit to us in the context of orders in the online shop for the following purposes in summary:

  • Processing purchases in our online shop
  • Delivery of goods
  • Payment processing
  • Clarification of queries in connection with your placed orders
  • Information about changes to the general terms and conditions or our privacy policy
  • Designing the website and online shop to meet your needs
  • Market research
  • Advertising for offers tailored to your personal needs if you have consented to this
  • Sending of the newsletter, if expressly ordered
  • Sending of product recommendations for our own similar offers by e-mail, if not expressly unwanted
  • Sending of information, if expressly requested
  • Sending of postal advertising, if not expressly unwanted
  • as otherwise described in this privacy policy

We use your data for the processing of your purchases in our online shop, including any subsequent warranties. We only pass on your data to third parties if this is necessary for the execution of the contract, invoicing, or delivery. When processing purchases in our online shop, service providers used by us (e.g., transport or logistics companies, banks, and other payment service providers) receive the necessary data for the execution of the order. The service provider may only use the data to fulfil the task assigned to it.

For the processing of orders in our online shop, we need your name, address, and payment data. We use your e-mail address to confirm receipt of the order and to inform you about the status of the order.

In addition to using your data to process purchases in our online shop, we also use your data for advertising and market research purposes as described in more detail below. You can object to the use of your personal data for advertising and market research purposes at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs.

Access data and hosting

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time you visit a website, the web server 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 evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our services. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer, which are outweighed in the context of a balancing of interests. All access data is deleted at the latest seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

The legal basis for processing the IP address is our legitimate interest.

Our legitimate interest results from the

  • Ensuring a smooth connection setup,
  • ensuring a comfortable use of our website
  • Evaluation of system security and stability.

A direct conclusion to your identity is not possible on the basis of the information and will not be drawn by us.

Hosting services by a third-party provider

As part of processing on our behalf, a third-party provider provides hosting and website display services for us. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer, which are outweighed by a balancing of interests. All data collected in the course of using this website or in forms provided for this purpose in the online shop as described below are processed on its servers. Processing on other servers only takes place within the framework explained here.

Data collection and use for contract processing and when opening a customer account

We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us in the context of your order or when contacting us (e.g., via contact form or e-mail). Mandatory fields are marked as such, as we need the data in these cases to process the contract or to process your contact and you cannot send the order or contact without providing it. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process the contract and your enquiries.

Insofar as you have given your consent to this by deciding to open a customer account, we will use your data for the purpose of opening a customer account. Further information on the processing of your data, in particular the transfer to our service providers for the purpose of order, payment and shipping processing, can be found in the following sections of this privacy policy. After complete processing 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 USA`s 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. The deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described in this privacy policy or via a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

Passing on of data

We will only pass on your data to third parties if:

  • and insofar as this is necessary for the implementation of the contractual relationship existing with you or for the enforcement of our claims and rights,
  • it is a request from official bodies, in particular law enforcement and supervisory authorities, and the disclosure is necessary to avert dangers to public safety and order and to prosecute criminal offences, and/or
  • we are otherwise legally obliged to do so.

Data transfer for the purpose of contract fulfilment

In order to fulfil the contract, 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 pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the payment service providers commissioned by us or to the selected payment service. 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 register with 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 do so during or after your order, we will pass on your e-mail address to the selected shipping service provider so that the shipping service provider can contact you before delivery for the purpose of delivery notification or coordination. You can revoke your consent at any time by sending a message to the contact option described in this privacy policy. After revocation, we will delete your data provided for this purpose, 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.

Transmission of data on outstanding debts to collection service providers

If you fail to pay outstanding invoices despite repeated reminders, we may transfer the data required to carry out a debt collection to a debt collection service provider for the purpose of trustee collection. Alternatively, we can sell the outstanding receivables to a collection service provider. This service provider then becomes the holder of the claim and asserts the claims in its own name.

E-mail advertising with registration for the newsletter

If you register for our newsletter, we use the data required for this purpose or separately provided by you to regularly send you our e-mail newsletter based on your consent. For this purpose, we use the double opt-in procedure to prevent fraud or misuse of your e-mail address. Registration is voluntary. The only mandatory data for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The legal basis is your consent.

Unsubscribing from the newsletter is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter. With your unsubscription, all associated newsletter registration data will be deleted immediately.

The newsletter is sent using the dispatch service provider Mailchimp. The dispatch service provider is used on the basis of our legitimate interest and a processing agreement. The dispatch service provider may use the data of the recipients in pseudonymous form, i.e., without assignment to a user, to optimize or improve its own services.

The subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled by the user concerned at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in each newsletter. This also enables revocation of consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process.

The legal basis for the processing of the data after the user has registered for the newsletter is the user’s consent. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is our legitimate interest.

Legal defense and enforcement of our rights

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in the context of legal defense and enforcement of our rights is our legitimate interest. The purpose of processing your personal data in the context of legal defense and enforcement of our rights is the defense against unjustified claims and the legal enforcement and assertion of claims and rights.

Your personal data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. The processing of your personal data in the context of legal defense and enforcement is mandatory for legal defense and enforcement of our rights. Consequently, there is no possibility for you to object.

Data processing for transaction processing

Depending on the selected payment method, we pass on the data necessary for processing the payment transaction to our technical service providers, who work for us within the framework of order processing, or to the commissioned credit institutions or to the selected payment service provider in so far as this is necessary for processing the payment. This serves the fulfilment of the contract. In some cases, the payment service providers collect the data required for processing the payment themselves, e.g., on their own website or via a technical integration in the ordering process. In this respect, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies. If you have any questions about our payment processing partners and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this privacy policy.

We (Leathersgoods.com  ) accept the following payment methods:

  • Visa
  • PayPal
  • Stripe
  • MasterCard
  • American express

Data processing for the purpose of fraud prevention and optimization of our payment processes

Where applicable, we provide our service providers with further data, which they use together with the data necessary for the processing of the payment as our processors for the purpose of fraud prevention and optimization of our payment processes (e.g., invoicing, processing of contested payments, accounting support). This serves to protect our legitimate interests in our protection against fraud or in efficient payment management, which outweigh our interests in the context of a balancing of interests.

Encrypted payment transactions

If there is an obligation to transmit your payment data to us (e.g., account number in the case of direct debit authorization) after the conclusion of a fee-based contract, this data is required for payment processing.

Payment transactions via the common means of payment are made exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

With encrypted communication, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Use of data when using the feedback function

When you use our feedback function, we store your IP address in anonymized form and a transcript of the feedback for evidence purposes in addition to the data you have provided, the data you provide will be stored so that your message can be forwarded to the correct contact person. This is done to process your request. Your data provided via a contact form will not be used for any other purposes, in particular not for advertising.

Blog and Testimonial comment data

Within the Blog and Testimonial, you may be able to display certain personal information, share certain details, engage with others, exchange knowledge and insights, post and view relevant comment. Comment and data are publicly viewable. You have choices about the information on your comment.

Contacting us

You have the option of contacting us.

You have a right of objection. You can send or inform us of your objection at any time. Please use the address of the person responsible for the app on the subject of data protection.

The provision of personal data is neither legally nor contractually required and is also not necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are also not obliged to provide the personal data. However, failure to provide it would, under certain circumstances, mean that you would not be able to use the option to contact us or that we would not be able to contact you.

Security

We use technical and organizational security measures to ensure that the personal data of our users is protected against loss, incorrect changes or unauthorized access by third parties. In any case, only authorised persons on our part have access to your personal data, and only to the extent that this is necessary within the framework of the above-mentioned purposes.

In order to comply with commercial/tax law and other legal requirements, it is necessary that your personal data is initially only blocked for further processing.

Sending rating reminders by e-mail/customer ratings

If you have given us your express consent to do so during or after your order, we will use your e-mail address as a reminder to submit an evaluation of your order via the evaluation system we use. This consent can be revoked at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below. When users leave comments or other contributions on Leathersgoods.com, their IP addresses are stored on the basis of our legitimate interests. This is done for our security in case someone leaves unlawful content in comments and posts (insults, prohibited political propaganda, etc.).

Right of objection

Insofar as we process personal data as explained above in order to protect our legitimate interests, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests, you can object to this processing with effect for the future. If the processing is carried out for direct marketing purposes, you can exercise this right at any time as described above. If the processing is carried out for other purposes, you only have the right to object on grounds relating to your particular situation.

After you have exercised your right to object, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

This does not apply if the processing is for direct marketing purposes. Then we will not further process your personal data for this purpose.

Transfer of personal data

We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if:

  • you have given your express consent,
  • the disclosure is necessary in accordance with our legitimate interest for the protection of legitimate interests and for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to believe that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data,
  • there is a legal obligation, as well as this is legally permissible and / or
  • it is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

Cooperation with contract processors

We carefully select our service providers who process personal data on our behalf. If we commission third parties with the processing of personal data on the basis of a contract processing agreement.
