3. General information on data processing

As a matter of principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and for our content and services.

  • Affected groups of people are:
  • Customers
  • current employees,
  • former employees,
  • Applicant
  • Suppliers
  • Service provider
  • other business partners.

b) Purposes of processing

As a matter of principle, we process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is usually only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

We process personal data when you visit our website (section 4), when you use our contact form (section 5), when you set up a customer account (section 6) and when you order from us (section 7). In addition, we process personal data when you apply for a job with us (section 9) and for advertising purposes (section 8).

The collection and use of personal data of our users is always carried out in accordance with the GDPR and the applicable country-specific data protection rules. If the processing of personal data is necessary and such processing is not permitted by law, we always obtain the consent of the data subject. If we ask you to provide certain personal data, you can of course refuse to do so. You have a choice about what information you give us. However, there is a possibility that we will not be able to offer you certain products and services.

c) Legal basis

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as "GDPR") serves as the legal basis.

In the case of the processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and our interests, the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject prevail, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

d) Disclosure of your data

Personal data will be passed on to third parties in the following cases and on the basis of the legal basis mentioned in each case:

  • if you have expressly consented to the transfer of your data (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR),
  • if the transfer of data to third parties is necessary for the performance of the contract in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR,
  • if there is a legitimate interest of the controller or a third party for the disclosure and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR); this includes, for example, data transfers in the context of assignments of receivables or to credit agencies for the purpose of credit checks,
  • if there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR.

Service providers who work for us on our behalf have been carefully selected and commissioned by us and are bound by our instructions. Furthermore, we are contractually entitled to monitor the compliance of the service providers with the relevant contractual and legal rules. External service providers can be assigned to the following categories:

  • Service providers for hosting, maintaining and servicing our website,
  • Service providers in the field of customer service,
  • banks and other providers of payment services, including for the processing of payments;
  • mailing providers for e-mail newsletters as well as mailing providers for catalogs,
  • Service providers in the field of marketing and web analysis,
  • Service provider for customer enquiries,
  • Service provider for the presentation of forms on the website.

If we transfer personal data to recipients in so-called "third countries", i.e. countries outside the European Union ("EU") or the European Economic Area ("EEA"), in which a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be assumed without further ado and we are not authorised to transfer it on the basis of a legal obligation, we ensure that the necessary data protection is provided in the respective third country or with the recipient in the third country adequate level of data protection is ensured. This may result in particular from a so-called "adequacy decision" of the European Commission, which determines an adequate level of data protection for a particular third country as a whole. In addition, we may also base the transfer of data on the so-called "EU Standard Contractual Clauses" agreed with a recipient. The contract texts of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses can be found at the European Commission. This also applies to adequacy decisions. Further information can be obtained from the Data Protection Officer at datenschutzbeauftragter@arno.de.

e) Storage period and deletion

As a matter of principle, we only store your data for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose of the processing. We store the personal data collected for the purpose of processing the contract until the expiry of the statutory or possible contractual warranty and guarantee rights. After expiry of this period, we will retain the information of the contractual relationship required by commercial and tax law for the periods specified by law. For this period (usually 10 years from the conclusion of the contract), the data will be processed again solely in the event of a review by the tax authorities.

We will delete the data collected and stored in connection with the customer account at the latest when the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies or when you inform us that your customer account should be deleted. However, it is not possible to delete your personal data prematurely if and to the extent that the data is still required for the execution of the contract or if we are obliged by law to store it further.

You will then receive an e-mail from us in which we ask you to confirm that you would like to receive our newsletter by clicking on a link (double opt-in). We will therefore only send you a newsletter if you have previously expressly confirmed that you would like to receive one.

We use Pardot's services to send newsletters. For more information, see Section 12.

You can revoke your consent to the processing of your data for the purpose of sending the newsletter at any time with effect for the future. All you need to do is send an e-mail, e.g. to datenschutzbeauftragter@arno.de or marketing@arno.de. You will also find an unsubscribe link in each newsletter.

You can object to the processing of your data for the purpose of sending product recommendations, e.g. by e-mail to datenschutzbeauftragter@arno.de or marketing@arno.de.

You will also find an unsubscribe link in each email.


9. Information on data processing for job applications

If you apply for a job with us, we process the information you provide, in particular your first and last name, your e-mail address, your postal address, your telephone number and the information contained in any application documents such as cover letter, CV and certificates ("Application Data").

The data you provide to us as part of your application will be processed exclusively for the purpose of processing this application. We always treat your application data confidentially.

The legal basis for the described processing of your application data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b and Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 para. 1 sentence 1 BDSG.

If your application is successful and leads to an employment relationship, the data will be transferred to your personnel file. The data will be stored for as long as this is necessary for the employment relationship and insofar as legal regulations justify an obligation to retain it. The legal basis for this processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b and Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 para. 1 sentence 1 BDSG.

If your application is unsuccessful, we will store your application data for a maximum of 6 months after completion of the relevant application process in order to be able to defend ourselves against possible legal claims. The legal basis for this storage is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest in this context stems from the burden of proof in proceedings.

The documents you submit as part of the application may contain personal data that fall under "special categories of personal data" within the meaning of Article 9 of the GDPR ("sensitive data"). It is personal data that may reveal a natural person's racial or ethnic origin, political opinion, religion or belief, trade union membership, genetic or biometric data, state of health or information about a natural person's sex life or sexual orientation. 

As a rule, we do not require any special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 GDPR for the application process. We therefore ask you not to send us any such information in the first place. If, in exceptional circumstances, such information is relevant, we will inform you accordingly.

In the event that your application nevertheless contains sensitive data, we ask for your explicit consent to the processing of this data for the purpose of processing the application. You are free to decide whether you want to give this consent. Consent can be revoked at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before the withdrawal. In this regard, however, we would like to point out that in the event that your application has led to employment, the further processing of the sensitive data (also) contained in the application may be necessary in order to be able to exercise rights arising from labour law and social security and social protection law and to be able to comply with obligations in this regard, which may therefore be justified in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (b) GDPR even without your consent.

The legal basis for the processing of sensitive data in the event of your consent is Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR; in the case of employment, the relevant processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 9 (2) (b) GDPR and § 26 (3) BDSG.

Please note that your application cannot be considered if your application documents contain sensitive data and you do not consent to their processing or withdraw your consent.
