Data Protection

We are pleased that you are visiting our website. The protection and security of your personal information when using our website is very important to us. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to inform you which of your personal data we collect when you visit our website and for what purposes it is used. Personal data is individual information about the personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person (data subject), e.g. name, address, email addresses, user behaviour. This is therefore data with which we can identify you. In addition, you will occasionally also find information on data processing processes outside of this website (e.g. video conferences or newsletters).

General information

This privacy policy fulfils the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address or user behaviour when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or only with disproportionate effort) establish a connection to your person, e.g. through anonymisation, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. the collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.

Stored personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate reasons for further storage of the data. We will inform you of the specific storage periods or criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and in the event of statutory retention obligations.

Information according to Art. 13 GDPR

This information is intended for customers, interested parties, suppliers and employees. Your personal data will be processed by us for the following purposes:

To fulfil our contractual obligations to you (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).
For the fulfilment of pre-contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).
To respond to enquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).
If you have given us your consent to process your personal data for specific purposes (e.g. to receive our newsletter), the data processing takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
To fulfil legal obligations to which our company is subject (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR).
Where necessary, we also process your data to safeguard our legitimate interests, in particular to assert legal claims and defend ourselves in legal disputes or to ensure IT security, to consult and exchange data with credit agencies to determine creditworthiness and default risks, for direct advertising and market research unless you have objected to the use of your data for this purpose, for measures for business management and further development of services and products, for measures to optimise products and sales, for risk management measures, for the prevention or investigation of criminal offences (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Categories of recipients of the personal data

Within our company, only those employees have access to the data who absolutely need it to fulfil their tasks (need-to-know principle). Individual processes and services are carried out by carefully selected service providers based within the EEA and commissioned in accordance with data protection regulations. If service providers commissioned by us are given access to personal data when carrying out your services, order processing contracts have been concluded with them in accordance with Art. 28 para. 3 GDPR.

Duration of data storage

The data processed by us is stored for the duration of the existence and processing of the contractual relationship and in compliance with statutory retention periods. These are in particular commercial and tax retention obligations under the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Fiscal Code (AO). The regular retention and documentation periods are up to ten years. If there is no contractual relationship, we only process the data for as long as required for the specific purpose.

Your rights as a data subject

As a data subject, you have the following rights vis-à-vis us with regard to your personal data:

Right to information about your personal data processed by us.
Right to rectification or erasure if they are incorrect, out of date or unlawfully collected by us.
Right to restriction of processing if complete erasure is not possible, e.g. because we have to comply with statutory retention obligations.
Right to object to the processing if the data processing is based on a balancing of interests (the so-called legitimate interest), as described above under "Purpose of the processing". This is the case if, in particular, the processing is not necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you. When asserting your right to object, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your data as we have done.

Of course, you can also object to the processing of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time. Please send your objection to our address given in the legal notice or send us an e-mail to the address given in the legal notice.

Right of revocation if you have given us your consent to process your data. You can assert your revocation against our company at any time without giving reasons. To do so, please contact the address given in the legal notice.
In addition, you have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data by our company.

If you have any questions about data protection, please send an e-mail to the address given in the legal notice.

As an alternative to the use of cookies, information can also be stored in the local storage of your browser. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies or local storage (technically necessary cookies). Other cookies, on the other hand, enable us to carry out various analyses so that we are able, for example, to recognise the browser you are using when you visit our website again and to transmit various information to us (non-essential cookies). With the help of cookies, we can, among other things, make our website more user-friendly and effective for you, for example by tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g. country and language settings). If third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly via your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device. They cannot execute programmes or contain viruses.

We provide information about the respective services for which we use cookies in the individual processing operations. Detailed information on the cookies used can be found in the cookie settings or in the Consent Manager of this website.

Your rights

Under the conditions of the statutory provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights as a data subject:

Information in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR about the data stored about you in the form of meaningful information on the details of the processing as well as a copy of your data;
Correction in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR of incorrect or incomplete data stored by us;
erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR of the data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR if the accuracy of the data is contested, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you oppose the erasure of the data because you need it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR.
Data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, insofar as you have provided us with personal data on the basis of consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or on the basis of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and these have been processed by us using automated procedures. You will receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or we will transmit the data directly to another controller if this is technically feasible.
Objection pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR to the processing of your personal data, insofar as this is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e, f GDPR and there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising. The right to object does not exist if overriding, compelling legitimate grounds for the processing can be demonstrated or the processing is carried out for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If the right to object does not exist for individual processing operations, this is indicated there.
Revocation pursuant to Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR of your consent with effect for the future.
Complaint to a supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your workplace or our company headquarters.

Data processing in detail

Below we inform you about the individual processing operations, the scope and purpose of the data processing, the legal basis, the obligation to provide your data and the respective storage period. Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling, does not take place.

Provision of the website

When you access and use our website, we collect the personal data that your browser automatically transmits to our server. The following information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file:

IP address of the requesting computer
Date and time of access
Name and URL of the retrieved file

The hoster is used for the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offer by a professional provider (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

We use the following hoster:

Contact form

Type and scope of processing

If you send us enquiries (e.g. via contact form, e-mail or telephone), we store all the data that results from this (e.g. name, e-mail address, subject of the enquiry, etc.). We need this data to process your enquiry and to be able to answer any follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

Purpose and legal basis

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Otherwise, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if you have previously given it.

Storage duration

We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

Contact form for applicants

Type and scope of processing

You have the opportunity to apply to us on our website (e.g. by e-mail, post or online application form).

Purpose and legal basis

We process the personal data of applicants in accordance with the legal requirements for the purpose of handling the application process and for the implementation of pre-contractual measures within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. GDPR and § 26 BDSG according to German law (initiation of an employment relationship) and - if you have given your consent - Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

Storage duration

Your data will be stored for a period of 6 months after the end of the application process. This is usually done to fulfil legal obligations or to defend against any claims arising from legal regulations. We are then obliged to delete or anonymise your data. In this case, the data will only be available to us as so-called metadata without direct personal reference for statistical analyses (e.g. proportion of women or men in applications, number of applications per period, etc.).

If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

Inclusion in the applicant pool

As part of the application process, we offer applicants the opportunity to be included in our "talent pool" for a period of 12 months on the basis of consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. GDPR to be included.

The application documents in the talent pool will only be processed in the context of future job advertisements and the search for employees and will be destroyed after the deadline at the latest. Applicants are informed that their consent to inclusion in the talent pool is voluntary, has no influence on the current application process and that they can revoke this consent at any time for the future.

If you receive an offer of employment with us during the application process and accept it, we will store the personal data collected during the application process for at least the duration of the employment relationship.

Newsletter

We offer you our newsletter on this website. If you would like to subscribe to it, we need your e-mail address and other data to prove that it is your e-mail address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No other personal data is collected unless you provide it voluntarily (e.g. name, telephone number, place of residence, etc.).

When processing the data you provide when registering for the newsletter, we rely exclusively on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR as the legal basis. You can revoke your consent to the processing and storage of your personal data at any time (e.g. via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter) for the future.

We store your personal data that you have provided for the purpose of receiving the newsletter until you unsubscribe from the newsletter with us or the mailing service provider. This does not apply to data that we have stored about you for other purposes.

If you unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing list, your e-mail address will be stored by us or the mailing service provider in a blacklist for an indefinite period of time. This is done to prevent future mailings to you. The data from the blacklist will be used exclusively for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This is not only in your interest, but also in our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to fulfil our legal obligations when sending newsletters. You can object to the storage if your personal interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

Mailchimp

On our website, we use the services of Mailchimp, a service provided by Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA, to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters. The data you enter to subscribe to the newsletter, such as your email address, is stored on Mailchimp servers in the USA.

Mailchimp enables us to analyse the effectiveness of newsletter campaigns. When an email sent by Mailchimp is opened, a file contained in the email (known as a web beacon) connects to Mailchimp's servers in the USA. In this way, it is determined whether the newsletter message has been opened and which links in the email have been clicked on. In addition, technical information such as time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system is recorded. This data cannot be assigned to individual newsletter recipients and is used exclusively for statistical analyses. These analyses help us to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

If you do not wish to be analysed by Mailchimp, you must unsubscribe from our newsletter. We provide you with a corresponding unsubscribe link in every newsletter. The data processing takes place on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by this cancellation.

Your data will be stored by us for the newsletter subscription and deleted both by us and by the newsletter service provider as soon as you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored for other purposes remains unaffected by this. Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details on this at https://mailchimp.com/eu-us-data-transfer-statement/ and https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/#Annex_C_-_Standard_Contractual_Clauses.

If you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a so-called blacklist in order to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will be used exclusively for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters, in accordance with the legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to this storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest. For more information about Mailchimp's privacy practices, please visit: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.

The company is certified according to the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF), an agreement between the European Union and the USA, which aims to ensure compliance with European data protection standards when processing data in the USA. Certification in accordance with the DPF obliges companies to comply with these data protection standards. You can find more information at: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?contact=true&id=a2zt0000000TXVKAA4&status=Active

In order to ensure that personal data is processed in accordance with our specifications and in compliance with the GDPR, we have concluded an order processing agreement (AVV) with the provider.

Presence on social media platforms

Data processing by social networks

We operate publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The individual social networks we use are listed below.

Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter etc. can generally analyse your user behaviour comprehensively. When you visit our social media sites, the following data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered:

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our profile, the operator of this social medium can track this visit. Irrespective of this, the operator may be able to process your data (e.g. IP address) even if you are not logged into your account or do not have an account at all.

The operator summarises this data in user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. These profiles are used to display personalised advertising within and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the personalised advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are logged in or were logged in.

Depending on the platform, further processing operations may be carried out by the operators of the social media portals, over which we have no influence. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.

Legal basis

Our social media presences are intended to ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes carried out by the operators of the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the respective providers.

Responsible party and assertion of rights

If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (information, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. Facebook).

Despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we have no full influence on the data processing procedures of the portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

Storage duration

The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of the data collected by the social networks. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policies, see below).

Video conferencing

Data processing

We use online conferencing tools to communicate with our customers. The tools we use in detail are listed below. If you communicate with us via video or audio conference, your personal data will be collected and processed by us and the provider of the respective tool.

The tools collect the data you provide, including your email address and telephone number. They also process the duration of the conference, when you attended the conference, number of participants and other metadata.

In addition, the provider of the tool processes all technical data required to organise the conference. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or loudspeaker and the type of connection.

If you share content on this service, it will be stored on the provider's servers. This includes cloud recordings, chat messages, voice messages, photos and videos that you have shared while using this service.

Please note that we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the tools used. For more detailed information on data processing by the conference tools, please refer to the privacy policies of the tools used.

Purpose and legal basis

The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services to our customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves the general simplification and acceleration of communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). If you have previously given your consent to data processing, your data will be processed solely on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Storage duration

The data collected directly by us via the video and conference tools will be deleted from our systems as soon as you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of your data, which is stored by the operators of the conference tools for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the conference tools directly.

Warranty extension

If you use our warranty extension form, we will save all the data you provide. We need this data to process your enquiry and to be able to answer any follow-up questions.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Otherwise, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if you have previously given it.

We will retain the data you provide on the form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

We use Brevo, offered by Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, to process enquiries. You can consent to receiving our newsletter when using the guarantee form. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Brevo offers the possibility to view the performance of our newsletter. We can determine whether a newsletter has been opened, which links have been clicked on and which other actions have been carried out after opening/clicking on the newsletter, e.g. a purchase. This allows us to analyse and evaluate our newsletter campaigns with the help of Brevo.

Brevo also allows us to better customise the newsletter to our target groups by dividing the newsletter recipients into different categories, such as age, gender or place of residence. If you do not wish to be analysed by Brevo, you can unsubscribe from the newsletter using a link. This link is available in every newsletter you receive.

You can find more information about Brevo here: https://www.brevo.com/de/legal/privacypolicy/

Order processing

Data brokerage by independent commercial agents - information in accordance with Art. 14 GDPR

We sometimes receive personal data from independent sales representatives. Sales representatives visit opticians to present Temming eyewear products. If they are interested, the sales representatives collect the opticians' contact details and send them to Temming. We then contact the opticians in order to initiate a possible contractual relationship. The following categories of personal data are processed: Contact details (name, address, telephone number, e-mail address). The data is used internally at Temming for further contact and contract processing. The data will not be passed on to third parties unless this is necessary to fulfil legal obligations.

Legal basis

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (contract initiation or contract). Personal data is processed for the purpose of acquisition and the initiation of contractual relationships.

Storage period

Personal data is stored for as long as is necessary to fulfil the contractual relationship. After termination of the contractual relationship, the data is stored in accordance with the statutory retention periods and then deleted.

Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to use other tools on our website. It does not create any user profiles, it does not store any cookies and it does not carry out any independent analyses.

jQuery CDN

Type and scope of processing

We use jQuery CDN to properly deliver the content of our website. jQuery CDN is a service provided by jQuery, which acts as a content delivery network (CDN) on our website.

A CDN helps to provide the content of our online offer, in particular files such as graphics or scripts, more quickly with the help of regionally or internationally distributed servers. When you access this content, you establish a connection to jQuery servers, whereby your IP address and possibly browser data such as your user agent are transmitted. This data is processed exclusively for the above-mentioned purposes and to maintain the security and functionality of jQuery CDN.

Purpose and legal basis

The use of the Content Delivery Network is based on our legitimate interests, i.e. interest in the secure and efficient provision and optimisation of our online offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. GDPR.

We intend to transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area, in particular the USA. The data transfer to the USA is carried out in accordance with Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR on the basis of the adequacy decision of the European Commission. The US companies involved and/or their US subcontractors are certified in accordance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF).

In cases where no adequacy decision by the European Commission exists (including US companies that are not certified under the EU-U.S. DPF), we have agreed other appropriate safeguards with the recipients of the data within the meaning of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR have been agreed. Unless otherwise stated, these are standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission in accordance with Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021. You can view a copy of these standard contractual clauses at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32021D0914&from=DE.

In addition, before such a third country transfer, we obtain your consent in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a. GDPR, which you give via the consent in the Consent Manager (or other forms, registrations, etc.). We would like to point out that in the case of third country transfers, there may be risks that are unknown in detail (e.g. data processing by security authorities in the third country, the exact scope and consequences of which for you we do not know, over which we have no influence and of which you may not become aware).

Storage duration

The specific storage period of the processed data cannot be influenced by us, but is determined by jQuery. Further information can be found in the privacy policy for jQuery CDN: https://www.stackpath.com/legal/privacy-statement/.
