Privacy Policy

The protection of your personal data is very important to us. We therefore process your data exclusively on the basis of the statutory provisions (GDPR, TKG 2003). This data protection declaration provides information about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and processing of your data.

We, MDR Navigator, are responsible for data processing in terms of data protection law. If you have any questions about the collection, processing or use of your personal data, please contact:

Tibor Zajki-Zechmeister,
Hafnerriegel 27, 8010 Graz,
Austria, info@mdr-navigator.com

Collection and processing of your data as part of your order, your newsletter subscription or your visit on our website, we collect and process certain personal data relating to you. The type, scope and purposes of this data processing are described below.

Order
As part of your order, we process the data you provide: first name, surname, email address, street, postcode, city, telephone number, age, user name and password. Your payment details are encrypted and transmitted over the Internet during the ordering process.

Due to a special integration in the ordering process, we never have access to your payment data and are therefore not processors of this data. These are processed exclusively by these payment service providers:

Apple Pay
If you choose the “Apple Pay” payment method from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment will be processed using the “Apple Pay” function on your iOS, watchOS or macOS device by debiting a payment card stored with “Apple Pay”. Apple Pay uses security features built into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. In order to approve a payment, it is necessary to enter a code that you previously specified and to verify using the “Face ID” or “Touch ID” function of your device.

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provided during the ordering process along with the information about your order will be passed on to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts this data again with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay to carry out the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website from which the purchase was made can access the payment details. After the payment has been made, Apple will send your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the original website to confirm the payment has been successful.

If personal data is processed in the described transmissions, the processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of payment processing according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Apple maintains anonymized transaction information, including the approximate purchase amount, approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. The anonymization completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve “Apple Pay” and other Apple products and services.

When you use Apple Pay on the iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made through Safari on the Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate over an encrypted channel on the Apple servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can be used to identify you personally. You can turn off the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone’s settings. Go to Wallet & Apple Pay and turn off Allow Payments on Mac.
Further information on data protection at Apple Pay can be found at the following Internet address: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027

Klarna
If a Klarna payment service is selected, the payment will be processed by Klarna Bank AB (publ) [https://www.klarna.com/de], Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden (hereinafter “Klarna”). In order to enable the processing of the payment, your personal data (first and last name, street, house number, zip code, city, gender, email address, telephone number and IP address) as well as data related to the order (e.g. invoice amount, article, type of delivery) passed on to Klarna for the purpose of checking the identity and creditworthiness, provided that you are here in accordance with Art. a DSGVO have expressly consented to the order process. You can see here which credit agencies your data can be forwarded to:
https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/legal/terms/0/de_de/credit_rating_agencies

The credit report can contain probability values (so-called score values). As far as score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. The calculation of the score values includes, but is not limited to, address data. Klarna uses the information received about the statistical probability of a payment default for a balanced decision on the establishment, implementation or termination of the contractual relationship.
You can revoke your consent at any time by sending a message to the person responsible for data processing or to Klarna. However, Klarna may still be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for contractual payment processing.
Your personal details are processed in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations and in accordance with the information in Klarna’s data protection regulations for data subjects based in Germany https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/legal/terms/0/de_de/privacy
for data subjects based in Austria https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/legal/terms/0/de_at/privacy
treated.

SOFORT
If the payment method “SOFORT” is selected, the payment will be processed by the payment service provider SOFORT GmbH, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 Munich, Germany (hereinafter “SOFORT”), to whom we will send the information you provided during the ordering process along with the information about your order in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Sofort GmbH is part of the Klarna Group (Klarna Bank AB (publ), Sveavägen 46, 11134 Stockholm, Sweden). Your data will only be passed on for the purpose of processing payments with the payment service provider SOFORT and only insofar as it is necessary for this. You can find more information about SOFORT’s data protection provisions at the following Internet address: https://www.klarna.com/sofort/datenschutz.

In the case of a credit card payment, we need the credit card type, yours

Credit card number, credit card expiration date and the check digit on the back of your credit card. Your data is always encrypted using SSL (at least 128 bit) transmitted over the Internet.

Payment service provider & Accounting
Insofar as this is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract, data will also be passed on to service providers for processing and managing payments.
The SevDesk service, a service provided by SEVENIT GmbH, Hauptstrasse 40 in 77652 Offenburg, Germany, is used for invoicing and preparation for bookkeeping. You can find more information on data protection at SevDesk at https://sevdesk.at/sicherheit-datenschutz/.
The service of Stripe Payments Europe, d, Block 4, Harcourt Center, Harcourt Road, Dublin 2, Ireland, is commissioned to process payments. You can find more information about Stripe’s data protection at https://stripe.com/de/privacy#translation

After the contract has been fully processed and the purchase price has been paid in full, your data will be archived and deleted after the retention periods under tax and commercial law or the periods under the Product Liability Act, unless you have consented to the further use of your data.

If we disclose data to other persons and companies (contract processors or third parties) within the scope of our processing, transmit them to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is only done on the basis of legal permission (e.g. if the data is transmitted to third parties, as is required for payment service providers in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR), you have consented, a legal obligation provides for this or based on our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).

In the event of an order, your data will be processed by payment and shipping service providers, in particular with regard to order processing.

If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called “order processing contract”, this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.

We would like to point out that user data can be processed outside of the European Union.

As part of order processing, for example, the service providers we use (e.g. shipping companies, logisticians, payment service providers) receive the necessary data for order processing. However, in the event of a statutory provision, an official order or an official investigation, we are legally obliged to make the relevant data available to the authority.

Newsletter
If you sign up for our newsletter and thereby give us your consent (Art 6 Paragraph 1 lit a GDPR), we will process your name and your email address for the purpose of sending our newsletter. Your personal data will be stored until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or until you withdraw your consent.

Use of Google Ads conversion tracking
Our website uses the online marketing program “Google Ads”, including conversion tracking (evaluation of user actions). Google conversion tracking is a service operated by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; “Google”).
If you click on adverts placed by Google, a cookie is placed on your computer for conversion tracking. These cookies have limited validity, do not contain any personal data and thus cannot be used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that you have clicked on the advert and were forwarded to this page. Every Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. It is therefore not possible to track cookies relating to the websites of Ads customers.
The information collected using the conversion cookie serves the purpose of producing conversion statistics. This allows us to find out the total number of users who have clicked on our adverts and were forwarded to a page equipped with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which could be used to personally identify users.
Your data may be transmitted to the USA. The data processing, particularly the placing of cookies, is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in addressing visitors to the website with targeted, interest-related advertising. On grounds relating to your particular situation, you have the right to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you and carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
You can deactivate personalised advertising in Google’s advertising settings. Instructions for this can be found at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de (https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de).
Alternatively, you can prevent the use of cookies by third parties by calling up the Network Advertising Initiative deactivation page at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ (https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/) and following the further opt-out instructions specified there.
You then won’t be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

Use of social plug-ins via the “2-click solution”
Our website uses social network plug-ins via the “2-click solution”. No connection is made to the social network servers and no data submitted without your explicit consent.Standard integration of plug-ins set up a connection between your computer and the provider’s servers when you call up pages on our website which contain such a plugin, allowing the plug-in to be shown on the web page by a notice sent to your browser. Both your IP address and the fact that you have visited our web pages are transmitted to the provider’s servers. This happens regardless of whether you are registered with or logged into the social network. The information is transferred even if users are not registered or logged in. If you are also logged into the social network, this information is also assigned to your user profile. When you use plug-in functions (e.g. activate the button) this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. To ensure that you retain control over your data we have decided to initially deactivate the corresponding button. This is shown by the greyed-out button. No connection is made to the social network servers and no data submitted without your explicit consent – in the form of activation of the button.Only when you activate the button does it become active (highlighted) and set up a direct connection to the social network’s servers.By logging in, you give your permission for the transfer of your data to the respective social media provider. At this time, information such as your IP address and which websites you have visited is transmitted. Should you be connected simultaneously with one or more of your social network accounts, the information collected is also assigned to your corresponding profiles. Therefore, you can only prevent this assignment by logging yourself out before visiting our website and before activating the button for your social media accounts.
