If a person wishes to make use of our Company’s services via our website / online shop, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will always obtain the consent of the person concerned.
The processing of personal data (for example, name, address, e-mail address or telephone number) always takes place in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the specific data protection regulations applicable to us.
This data privacy statement aims to provide information about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. This data privacy statement also informs data subjects about their rights.
As the data controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the fullest possible protection of the personal data processed via our website. However, data transmissions via the Internet can always involve security vulnerabilities and therefore 100% protection cannot be guaranteed. Every data subject can of course also provide personal data to us via an alternative route, for example, over the phone.
This privacy statement is based on the definitions used by the European Regulation and the regulation makers in the adoption of the GDPR (Article 4 GDPR). This privacy statement should be both easy to read and easy to understand for everyone. In order to ensure this, we would first like to explain the terms used.
The following definitions are used in this data privacy statement:
‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter ‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, online identifier or to one or more specific characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;
‘data subject’ means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.
‘processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction;
‘limitation of processing’ means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future;
‘profiling’ means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements;
‘controller’ means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law;
‘recipient’ means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular enquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing;
‘third party’ means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor, are authorised to process the personal data;
‘consent’ of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her;
When you visit our website, www.antelope.de, the browser on your device automatically sends information to our website server. This information is temporarily stored in a log file.
The following information is collected without your intervention and stored until it is automatically deleted:
We process the aforementioned data for the following purposes:
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) 1 f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is based on the purposes of collecting data that are listed above. Under no circumstances will we use data collected to draw conclusions about your identity. In addition, we use cookies and analysis services when you visit our website. More detailed information on this can be found in points 4 and 5 of this data privacy statement.
Information relating to the contents of our newsletter as well as registration, dispatch and statistical evaluation procedures, and your rights of objection is provided below. By subscribing to our newsletter, you indicate your consent to its receipt and agreement with the procedures described.
Newsletter content: We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications containing advertising information (hereinafter referred to as ‘newsletter’) only with the consent of the recipient or based on legal permission. If the contents of the newsletter are described specifically as part of the registration, these are relevant for the user’s consent.
Double opt-in and logging: Registration for our newsletter takes place through a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that you will receive an e-mail after you have registered asking you to confirm your registration. Such confirmation is necessary to prevent registration using external e-mail addresses. Registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove that the registration process has been conducted in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storage of the registration and confirmation date, as well as the IP address. Likewise, changes to your data stored with the mail service provider are logged.
Mail service provider: The newsletter is sent via ‘MailChimp’, a marketing automation platform from US provider, Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. You can view the service provider’s privacy policy here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/
Furthermore, according to its own information, the mail service provider may use personal data in pseudonymised form, i.e. without assignment to a user, to optimise or improve its own services, for example, for technical optimisation of the mailing and display of the newsletter or for statistical purposes, in order to determine the countries from which the recipients originate. However, the mail service provider will not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself nor will it pass these data on to third parties.
Registration details: To subscribe to the newsletter, you simply need to enter your e-mail address.
Performance measurement – Our newsletters contain a so-called ‘web beacon’, i.e. a file the size of a pixel, which is retrieved by the server of the mail service provider when the newsletter is opened. Technical data, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and date of retrieval, are collected as part of this retrieval procedure. This information is used for the technical improvement of services based on technical data or target groups and their reading behaviour based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or access dates. Statistical surveys also include determining whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our, nor the mail service provider’s intention to monitor individual users. We use these surveys much more to identify the reading habits of our users and to adapt our contents to them or to send different content according to their interests.
Newsletter dispatch and performance measurement are based on the consent of the recipients in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a), Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with Section 7 (2) 3) of the German Act against Unfair Competition (UWG) or legal permission in accordance with Section 7 (3) UWG.
The registration procedure is logged based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR and serves as proof of consent to receive the newsletter.
Cancellation – You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time, i.e. withdraw your consent. You will find an unsubscribe link at the end of each newsletter. If users have only subscribed to the newsletter and subsequently cancel their subscription, their personal data will be deleted. Alternatively, you can send your unsubscribe request at any time to datenschutz@beurer.de :

When paying via PayPal, credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal or ’purchase on account’ via PayPal, we pass on your payment data to PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter referred to as ’PayPal’). PayPal reserves the right to carry out a credit check for the payment methods credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal or ’purchase on account’ via PayPal. PayPal will use the result of credit checks to assess the statistical probability of non-payment in order to decide whether to offer the respective payment method. Credit reports may contain probability values (‘score values’). If score values are included in a credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognised statistical method. Address data, among other things, are included in the calculation of score values. Further data privacy information can be found in the PayPal data privacy policy: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
We will only pass on your personal data to third parties if:
We use cookies, web analysis services and social media plugins on our website. There is a separate data privacy notice for this.
The links published on our website are researched and compiled by us with the greatest possible care. However, we have no influence on the current and future design and content of linked pages. We are not responsible for the content of linked pages and expressly do not adopt the content of these pages as our own. The provider of the website to which you are referred shall be solely responsible for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content as well as for any damage resulting from the use or misuse of the information. Liability of the party merely referring to a publication via a link shall be excluded. We shall only be responsible for third-party references if we have positive knowledge of them, i.e. any illegal or criminal content, and if it is technically possible and reasonable for us to prevent their use.
The tracking measures listed below and used by us are carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) 1) f) GDPR. The tracking measures we use are intended to ensure that our website meets requirements and is continually optimised. We also use these tracking measures to record website use and to evaluate it for you in order to optimise our offering. These interests are considered legitimate within the meaning of the aforementioned provision. The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tracking tools.
We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., for the purpose of tailoring our pages to meet your needs and continuously optimising them. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter referred to as ’Google’). Pseudonymised user profiles are created and cookies (see section 4) are used in this context. The information generated by cookies about your use of our website includes
We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser is not merged with other Google data. Users may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in their browser, by selecting the appropriate settings on the Google website or by downloading and installing the browser plugin available from the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
This information is used to evaluate website use, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website and Internet use for market research purposes and to tailor our website to requirements. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process such information on behalf of third parties. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. Further information on data privacy in connection with Google Analytics can be found in the Google Analytics help section (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de).
We also use Google conversion tracking to record the use of our website statistically and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our website for you. Google Adwords places a cookie (see number 4) on your computer if you have reached our website via a Google advertisement. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification purposes. If the user visits certain pages on the AdWords customer’s website and the cookie has not expired, Google and the customer will be able to tell that the user clicked on the ad and was directed to that page.
Each Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be traced via the websites of Adwords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Adwords customers will know the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were directed to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse to set a cookie as required, for example by setting your browser to disable the automatic setting of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain ‘www.googleadservices.com’. Google’s Privacy Policy for conversion tracking can be found here (https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html).
In order to analyse the user behavior and take corresponding measures to optimise the user experience on our website, we further use the web analytics tool mouseflow. Mouseflow is only used with activated ip-anonymised functionality. It shows an anonymised recording of your activities on our website. If you do wish to be tracked, please use the following opt-out option. mouseflow.com/de/opt-out
By using the opt-out, a corresponding cookie will be placed on your device until it is being deleted.
We use social plug-ins of the social networks Facebook, Twitter and Instagram on our website based on Art. 6 (1) 1) f) GDPR, in order to raise the profile of our company and the online shop. The advertising purpose behind this is regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of GDPR. Responsibility for operation that is compliance with data protection regulations must be guaranteed by the respective providers. These plug-ins are integrated by us using the two-click method in order to protect visitors to our website in the best possible way.
Social media plugins from Facebook are used on our website to make its use more personal. For this we use the ‘LIKE’ or ‘SHARE’ button. This is an offer from Facebook. If you call up a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser, which integrates it into the website. By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign your visit to our website directly to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the ’LIKE’ or ‘SHARE’ button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends.
Facebook may use this information for the purposes of advertising, market research and tailoring Facebook pages to your needs. To this end, Facebook creates usage, interest and relationship profiles, for example, to evaluate your use of our website with regard to the advertisements displayed to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website and to provide other services associated with the use of Facebook. If you do not want Facebook to associate the information collected through our website with your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Facebook as well as your related rights and setting options for the protection of your privacy can be found in Facebook’s data privacy policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).
Based on our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online services and for these purposes, the so-called ‘Facebook pixel’ of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are resident in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (‘Facebook’), is used within our online services.
With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able to determine the visitors to our online offering as a target group for the presentation of ads (so-called ‘Facebook ads’). Accordingly, we use Facebook pixels to display Facebook ads placed by us only to Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (for example, interests in certain topics or products that are determined on the basis of the websites visited) which we transmit to Facebook (so-called ‘custom audiences’). We also want to ensure using Facebook pixels that our Facebook ads match the potential interests of users and are not annoying. We can also use Facebook pixels to track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing if users were referred to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (known as ‘conversion’).
Twitter Inc. (Twitter) plugins are integrated into our web pages. You can recognise Twitter plugins (Tweet button) from the Twitter logo on our website. You can find an overview of Tweet buttons here (https://about.twitter.com/resources/buttons). If you access a page on our website that contains such a plugin, a direct connection will be established between your browser and the Twitter server. Twitter receives the information that you have visited our site using your IP address. If you click the Twitter ’Tweet’ button while logged in to your Twitter account, you can link the content of our pages to your Twitter profile. This allows Twitter to assign the visit to our pages to your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, we do not have any knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or its use by Twitter.
If you do not want Twitter to be able to assign visits to our pages, please log out of your Twitter user account. Further information on this can be found in Twitter’s privacy policy (https://twitter.com/privacy).
Our website/online shop also uses social plugins (‘plugins’) from Instagram, operated by Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (‘Instagram’). The plugins are marked with an Instagram logo, for example in the form of an ‘Instagram camera’.
When you visit a page of our website/online shop that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Instagram’s servers. Instagram sends the content of the plugin directly to your browser and integrates it into the page. This integration tells Instagram that your browser has accessed the appropriate page on our site, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not logged in to Instagram.
This information (including your IP address) is transferred directly from your browser to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can directly associate your visit to our website with your Instagram account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the ‘Instagram’ button, this information is also sent directly to and stored on an Instagram server. The information is also published to your Instagram account and displayed to your contacts. If you do not want Instagram to directly associate the data collected via our website with your Instagram account, you must log out of Instagram before visiting our website. For more information, see Instagram’s Privacy Policy (https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388).
We use plugins of the video platform YouTube on our Website. YouTube is considered a multimedia hosting site for the content provided on that platform. We use the Youtube channel in order to advertise our company. You will recognise the YouTube Plugin by the Youtube Logo displayed on our pages. Once you open our internet page, on which such a plugin is displayed, a direct connection will be made between your browser and the YouTube Server. Through this, YouTube will receive the information that you have visited our website with your IP-address. If you click on the YouTube Button or watch our videos while being logged in to your account, you will be able to share, link and comment on our content in your account. By doing this, YouTube is able to match your visit on our pages to your personal account. We draw your attention to the fact that we as a supplier have no knowledge on the data being transferred as well as their usage by YouTube.
If you do not want YouTube to match your visit on our websites, you can prevent this at any time by using the sign out function of your Google account or YouTube channel or by changing our cookie settings.
For further information please check the terms and conditions of YouTube by using the following link. https://www.youtube.com/static?gl=DE&template=terms&hl=de
You have the right:
If your personal data are processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) 1) f) GDPR, you have the right, pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR, to object to the processing of personal data concerning you on grounds relating to your particular situation or if personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes. In the latter case, you have a general right to object without stating particular reasons and this will be implemented by us. If you would like to make use of your right to withdraw or object, simply send an e-mail to datenschutz@beurer.de .
We use the most common SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method in connection with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. As a rule, this is a 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can tell whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed representation of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.
We also use appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss or destruction, and against unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
“Usercentrics”. Such processing purposes can include the integration of external elements, the integration of streaming content, statistical analysis, range measurement and personalized advertising. With the help of “Usercentrics” you can give or reject your consent for all processing purposes or you can give or reject your consent for individual purposes or individual third-party providers. You can also change the settings you have made afterwards. The purpose of integrating “Usercentrics” is to allow the users of our website to decide about the setting of cookies and similar functionalities and to offer the option of changing settings that have already been made as part of the further use of our website. In the course of using “Usercentrics”, we process personal data and information from the end devices used. Your data will also be sent to Usercentrics (Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich, Germany). The information about the settings you have made is also stored in your device. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. Otherwise, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit.f) GDPR is the relevant legal basis. Our legitimate interests in processing lie in the storage of user settings and preferences with regard to the use of cookies and the evaluation of the consent rates. After twelve months after the user settings have been made, the user will be asked for consent again. The user settings made will then be saved again for this period, unless you delete the information about your user settings yourself beforehand in the end device capacities provided for this purpose.
You can object to the processing insofar as the processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit.f) GDPR. You have the right to object for reasons that arise from your particular situation. You can prevent processing by deleting the history and website data in the settings of your browser software or by opening the browser you are using in “private mode”.
This data privacy statement is valid as of May 2018.
Due to the further development of our website and offers on it or due to new legal or statutory requirements, it may be necessary to amend this data privacy statement. You can access and print out the current data privacy statement at any time on the website at https://www.antelope.de/datenschutz/
