Third party products and services
Our websites and apps allow you to interact with a variety of other digital products and services. For example, our websites and apps may integrate with third-party activity tracking devices, social networks, music streaming services and other digital services.
If you choose to connect your HEIMPLANETaccount with a third party device or account, your privacy rights on third party platforms are subject to the respective policies of those platforms.

Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information collected by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. We would like to point out that on our websites Google Analytics has been extended by the code "gat._anonymizeIp();" to ensure anonymised collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). Your IP address is therefore only recorded by Google in shortened form at our request, which ensures anonymisation and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity. If IP anonymisation is activated on our websites, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. A transfer of this data by Google to third parties only takes place on the basis of legal provisions or within the framework of commissioned data processing. Under no circumstances will Google merge your data with other data collected by Google. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google and the manner in which it is processed and for the purposes set out above. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link. Further information on Google Analytics and data protection can be found at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
Google AdWords
We use the online advertising programme "Google AdWords" on our website and in this context Conversion Tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie will be placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we will be able to recognise that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to that page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. This means that it is not possible to track cookies on the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that personally identifies the user. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO for the legitimate interest in targeted advertising and the analysis of the effect and efficiency of this advertising. You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data based on Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO for reasons relating to your particular situation. You can prevent cookies from being saved by making the appropriate technical settings in your browser software. 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. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. You can also deactivate personalised advertising for you in Google's advertising settings. You can find instructions at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en.
In addition, you can disable the use of cookies by third parties by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the additional opt-out information described there. Further information and Google's privacy policy can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
Facebook remarketing
We use the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" of Facebook Inc. (1601 p. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA; "Facebook"). This function serves the purpose of targeting visitors to the website with interest-based advertising on the social network Facebook. For this purpose, the Facebook remarketing tag has been implemented on the website. This tag establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers when the website is visited. This transmits to the Facebook server which of our pages you have visited. Facebook associates this information with your personal Facebook account. When you visit the Facebook social network, you are shown personalised, interest-based Facebook advertisements. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f GDPR for the legitimate interest in the aforementioned purpose. You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f GDPR for reasons relating to your particular situation. You can deactivate the "Custom Audiences" remarketing function here. For more information about the collection and use of data by Facebook, your rights and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
Realignment / Remarketing
Our websites use so-called retargeting technologies. We use these technologies to make our website more interesting for you. With this technology, internet users who have already shown interest in our shop and our products can be addressed with advertisements on our partners' websites. We are convinced that the display of personalised, interest-related advertising is generally more interesting for Internet users than advertising that has no such personal reference. The display of these advertisements on the pages of our partners is based on cookie technology and an analysis of previous user behaviour. This form of advertising is completely pseudonymous. No usage profiles are merged with your personal data. By using our site, you agree to the use of so-called cookies and thus to the collection, storage and use of your usage data. Furthermore, your data is stored in cookies beyond the end of the browser session and can, for example, be retrieved the next time you visit the website. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future by refusing to accept cookies in your browser settings.
We also use the Pinterest tag of Pinterest Europe Ltd, Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland on this website. This is a JavaScript code that we use to collect conversion insights and create audiences based on visitors' activity on our website. This means that we use the Pinterest tag to measure and improve the effectiveness of ads on Pinterest and to personalise ads by determining what type of ads to show to users. As part of conversion tracking, we process the following data from you: which pages you have visited, such as product, article and category pages, which enquiries you have made on our website, which products and services on our website and from third-party providers such as Pinterest you are interested in, which items you have added to your shopping cart, which transactions you have completed, which videos you have watched and which products or services you have registered for (e.g. registration for a newsletter subscription, webshop account).
If you have consented to the processing of your personal data through the use of the Pinterest tag and wish to withdraw your consent, you can change your cookie settings. You also have the option to change your browser settings.
Alternatively, if you have agreed, you can deactivate the Pinterest marketing tag as a logged-in Pinterest user in your account settings at https://help.pinterest.com/en/article/personalized-ads-on-pinterest. Information on how to opt out of interest-based online advertising on and through Pinterest at a later date without logging in.
TikTok
We use on this website the so-called "TikTok pixel" of the provider TikTok (for EU: TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited, Aviation House, 125 Kingsway Holborn, London, WC2B 6NH.). This is a code which we have implemented on our site. With the help of this code, in case of your explicit consent, a connection with the TikTok servers is established when you visit our website in order to track your behavior on our website. For example, when you purchase a product on our website, the TikTok pixel is triggered and stores your actions on our website in one or more cookies. You have the option to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. There are no costs for this other than the basic rates.
Personal data such as the IP address and other information such as device ID, device type and operating system may also be transferred to TikTok. TikTok uses email or other login or device information to identify users of our website and associate their actions with a TikTok user account.
TikTok uses this data to display targeted and personalized advertising to its users and to create interest-based user profiles. The collected data is anonymous and not visible to us and is only used to measure the effectiveness of ad placements.
In principle, your data will be processed within the EU or the EEA. For this purpose, a corresponding data protection agreement has been concluded with TikTok. If personal data is transferred to countries outside the EU or EEA, this is done within the framework of the Commission's model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries (i.e. standard contractual clauses).
