The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR – General Data Protection Regulation) considers personal data to be any information about an identified or identifiable natural person (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, number, or network identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
In order to provide our services, to correctly deliver orders, and to provide better personalised services and offers, we process the following personal data:
In order to deliver our services within the scope of our activities, we process your personal data for various purposes and to varying extents, either without your consent on the basis of performance of a contract, our legitimate interest, or compliance with a legal obligation (such as the Accounting Act), or on the basis of your consent.
What processing we may carry out without your consent depends on the purpose of the relevant processing and your relationship with us – whether you are merely a visitor to our website, whether you register but do not make a purchase, whether you register and place an order, or whether you only place an order.
When you visit our website, we store and subsequently read small files called cookies on your device. They have nothing to do with actual biscuits – you can buy plenty of great things from us, but one day the programmers started calling these files cookies. Apparently it is a reference to the fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel, who left a trail of breadcrumbs to find their way home – though who knows how that really went, since they ended up at the gingerbread house anyway. But back to the technical details and the European directive: these computer cookies are a small file of letters and numbers that we store in your internet browser or on the hard drive of your computer. Some cookies allow us to link your activities while browsing our pages from the moment you open the browser window until you close it. Once you close the browser window, these cookies are deleted. Others remain on the device for a set period of time and are activated every time you visit the website that created the particular cookie – this is how your browser can “remember” and log you in again, or keep the goods you carefully added to your cart in the afternoon still there. We also use pixel tags (also known as web bugs or tracking pixels), which are very small images with a similar function to cookies. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the hard drive of your computer, pixel tags are a permanent part of web pages. We will refer to all these technologies in this document simply as “cookies”. We not only store cookies on your device, but also read cookies that our website has stored on your device.
Some cookies are stored directly by our website. These cookies help us to:
Such cookies and other files are necessary for the functioning of our website. If you block these cookies in your browser, our website may not function correctly and we may not be able to provide our products and services to the full extent.

For the purpose of displaying personalised offers and targeted advertising within advertising and social networks on websites other than ours, we also pass on data about your behaviour on our website to advertising and social networks. However, we do not pass on your identification data to such partners. A list of the social and advertising networks we use can be found in the section “Who processes your personal data and to whom do we disclose it?”.
If you do not disable the use of third-party cookies and the passing of your data to advertising and social networks in your browser’s Privacy Settings, and after our notice you click anywhere on our website (outside the notice panel) or click the “I understand” button included in the notice, we will assume you consent to the use of these cookies and the passing of your data to advertising and social networks. You may withdraw your consent at any time by disabling this feature in your browser’s Privacy Settings. More information on cookies can be found on a separate page.

Our legitimate interest here is to provide you with the most personalised and effective offer possible. We also enrich this data through analysis and derive derived data from it. We also segment our users into different groups based on this data, with each group receiving its own specific offer. If you subsequently order something from us, we additionally use your order data for these purposes.
For these purposes we use personal data for a period of 60 months. You can disable this function at any time in Privacy Settings.
In order to register, you must visit our website, so the processing described in the section If you visit our website applies to you. If you register, we additionally carry out the following processing:
If you create an account on one of our websites, we process your identification and contact data, your settings, and your order data (if you subsequently order from us), on the basis of contract performance (without your consent), in order to maintain your user account. The contract on which our processing is based comes into existence upon the creation of your account.

We may also use data about your behaviour on our website obtained before you registered (unless you previously disabled website personalisation in Privacy Settings), and we may collect data about your behaviour on the website even when you are not logged in (e.g. when we identify you via a cookie). We also segment our users into different groups based on this data, with each group receiving its own specific offer.
If you have viewed a product on our website, or clicked on it in an email we sent you, we may display this product on your next visit to a page on our website, or send you an email offer for this product. Based on which product you viewed, we may also determine which group of customers you belong to, and accordingly offer you further services on our website or by email that we believe may interest you. This data may also be passed to operators of advertising systems so that they can display this product to you in advertising on other pages. However, we will not pass on to these operators any other personal data that would allow them to contact or identify you further (such as your email address, name, or address).

If you purchase from us as a representative of a legal entity, we process the same data for the same purpose on the basis of our legitimate interest in concluding and performing a contract with the entity you represent.

If you have ordered a product from us, we may contact you with a targeted offer of further related products or services. From your order we may also determine which group of customers you belong to, and accordingly send you an offer of related services that may interest you.

For the purpose of protecting legal claims and our internal records and control, we process data for the duration of the limitation period (5 years) and one year after its expiry, taking into account claims asserted at the end of the limitation period. In the event of judicial, administrative, or other proceedings being initiated, we process your personal data to the necessary extent for the entire duration of such proceedings and for the remaining limitation period after their conclusion.
For the other purposes stated, we use personal data for a period of 5 years from the date of the order.

If you give us your consent during the ordering process, we may also process your identification data and review data about the products we offer, including uploaded photographs, on the basis of your consent to processing, for the purpose of sharing information about your satisfaction with the products we offer with other visitors to our website.

If you add goods to the basket but do not complete the order, it is also possible to notify you of this by email or telephone.

For this purpose we retain personal data for a maximum period of 1 month. You have the right to object to this processing.
In the cases described in the section What personal data do we process and why? we process your personal data ourselves as the controller. This means that we determine the above-defined purposes for which we collect your personal data, determine the means of processing, and are responsible for its proper performance.
However, we may also pass your personal data to other entities acting as controllers, in particular:
For the processing of personal data we also use the services of other processors who process personal data only according to our instructions and for the purposes described in the section What personal data do we process and why?. Such processors are:
In the context of the transfer of data to our processors mentioned in the section “Who processes your personal data for us and to whom do we disclose it?” we may also transfer your data to third countries outside the European Economic Area, which, however, ensure an adequate level of protection of personal data.
We obtain your personal data in the vast majority of cases within the framework of your order, as a result of creating an account, or when using one of our free services, such as the provision of a tool for calculating the consumption of coating materials, a free ebook, or from communication with you via email, telephone, chat, social networks, and personal contact. We also obtain personal data directly from you by monitoring your behaviour on our website and when reading messages, by recording calls at the call centre, and by CCTV recordings at our branches. We may also obtain your personal data from a third party, for example when they order products from us on your behalf.
If you order something from us, we may, in connection with the performance of the concluded purchase contract, receive additional data about your orders from banks and our partners operating payment systems and providing instalment sales, for example data about your account number or the successful completion of a payment.
Just as we have our rights and obligations when processing your personal data, you also have certain rights when your personal data is processed. These rights include:
Right of access
Simply put, you have the right to know what data we process about you, for what purpose, for how long, where we obtain your personal data from, to whom we disclose it, who else processes it alongside us, and what other rights you have in connection with the processing of your personal data. All of this can be found in this “Customer Privacy Policy” document. However, if you are not sure which personal data we process about you, you can ask us to confirm whether or not personal data relating to you is being processed by us, and if so, you have the right to obtain access to this personal data. As part of the right of access, you may ask us for a copy of the personal data being processed; we will provide the first copy free of charge and subsequent copies for a fee.
In all matters related to the processing of your personal data, whether it is a query, exercise of a right, lodging of a complaint, or anything else, you may contact us via our contact details. We will handle your request without undue delay, and within a maximum of one month. In exceptional cases, in particular due to the complexity of your request, we are entitled to extend this period by a further two months. We will inform you of any such extension and its justification.
