Data Protection Information

This information describes how BLP Better Life Products GmbH ("we") processes your personal data.

Processing of your data

All data you provide to us when you enter into a contract with us or make an inquiry to us (e.g. regarding purchase, distribution channels, use of our products, product information) will be used by us exclusively for those purposes that are necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the response to your inquiry, unless you have given your consent for further data processing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b and f GDPR).

Only if you give your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, we will also use your data that you provide to us with this consent for other purposes, such as sending newsletters etc; the exact purpose of use is stated in the respective declaration of consent. You can revoke your consent at any time, but please note that even after revocation, all data processing that is necessary for the fulfillment of contracts or legal obligations may continue to be carried out by us.

Transmission of your data to recipients

With your consent, your data will be transmitted to the affiliated companies named in your declaration of consent; these companies may also only use your data to the extent to which you have consented.

In addition, we outsource individual data processing to external service providers. These data processors are given access to your data to the extent necessary for their services. Data processors are also subject to the strict provisions of data protection law and are bound to the processing purposes that we specify to them in the contract, so they may not use your data for any other purposes. We make your data accessible to the following data processors:

  • Field service or sales representatives and wholesalers appointed by us
  • IT service providers appointed by us
  • Shipping service providers such as couriers
  • Credit institutions for the purpose of payment
  • Tax consultants
  • Market research institutes
  • Marketing service providers such as printers etc.

Some of the recipients mentioned above are located outside the European Union or process your personal data there. The level of data protection in other countries may not correspond to that of the European Union. However, we only transfer your data to countries for which the European Commission has determined that they have an adequate level of data protection. In particular, when using US-American IT services, we only work with companies that have committed to complying with the European data protection level by joining the EU-US Privacy Shield.

Storage period

We will only retain your data for as long as we reasonably consider necessary to achieve the purposes mentioned above and as permitted by applicable law. In any case, we will store your data for as long as legal retention obligations exist or limitation periods for potential legal claims have not yet expired.

Data processing when using our website

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files which are stored on the users' computer and which enable an analysis of the use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the website (without the users' IP address) will be transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities for the website operators and to provide further services connected with the use of the website and the internet. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. You are aware that you can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. By using this website, you agree to the processing of data collected about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes described above.

Hosting and Email Delivery

We use hosting services for the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, email delivery, security services, and technical maintenance services that we use for the operation of this online offer. For this purpose, we engage hosting providers who are bound by the rules of the GDPR as processors.

In this context, we and/or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data from customers, prospects, and visitors of this online offer based on our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure provision of this online offer (Art 6 para. 1 lit f DSGVO).

Integration of Third-Party Services and Content

We also use content or services from third-party providers within our online offer to, for example, embed videos (hereinafter collectively referred to as "content"). This is done based on our legitimate interests in analyzing, optimizing, and economically operating our online offer (Art 6 para. 1 lit f DSGVO).

The third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, since without the IP address they could not send the content to their browser. The IP address is thus necessary for the display of this content.

We endeavor to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address solely to deliver the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. The "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic to the pages of this website.

Online presences in social media

We maintain online presences within social networks such as Facebook, [please insert all networks on which Apomedica is represented, possibly Instagram, Pinterest, etc.], to be able to communicate with customers, interested parties, and users active there and inform them about our services. All of these services are either registered under the EU-US Privacy Shield or are based in the EU and are therefore bound by the rules of the GDPR.

In general, these social networks process their users' data for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage behavior and resulting user interests can be used to create usage profiles. The usage profiles can in turn be used to display advertisements within and outside of social networks that presumably correspond to users' interests. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on users' computers, in which usage behavior and user interests are saved.

In addition, data can also be stored in usage profiles independently of the devices used by users (especially if users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them). The use of these social networks and the associated processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effective user information and communication with users in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If users are asked by the respective providers for consent to data processing (for example, by checking a box or confirming a button), the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

For a detailed description of the respective processing and the possibility of objection (opt-out), we refer to the provider's linked information. We also point out that users can most effectively exercise their rights as data subjects with the providers. Only the providers have access to users' data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, we are happy to assist you.
