Privacy policy
Privacy Policy
We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of Beyond Lashes. Use of the Beyond Lashes website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a person wishes to use special services offered by our company via our website, processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the affected person.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of an affected person, is always carried out in accordance with the german General Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Beyond Lashes. By means of this Privacy Policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, affected people are informed of their rights by means of this Privacy Policy.
Beyond Lashes, as the controller, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every affected person is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, for example, by telephone.
1. Definitions

To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
In this privacy policy, we use, among other things, the following terms:
a) Personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "affected person"). A natural person is considered identifiable if he or she can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
b) affected person
An affected persont is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
c) Processing

d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the goal of limiting its future processing.
e) Profiling
Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific affected person without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable person.
g) Controller or Processor
The controller or processing controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the context of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be considered recipients.
j) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than theaffected person, the controller, the processor, and the persons authorized to process the personal data under the direct authority of the controller or processor.

3. Cookies
The Beyond Lashes website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a character string that allows websites and servers to associate the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the affected person from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, Beyond Lashes can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the use of cookies.
Cookies can be used to optimize the information and offers on our website for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their login details each time they visit the website, because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie for a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop uses a cookie to remember the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart.
The affected person can prevent the use of cookies by our website at any time by making the appropriate settings in the internet browser used, and thus permanently deny the use of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the affected person deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully available.
4. Collection of general data and information
The Beyond Lashes website collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. The following may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used to avert dangers in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, Beyond Lashes does not draw any conclusions about the affected person. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. Beyond Lashes therefore evaluates this anonymously collected data and information statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Contact options via the website
Due to legal regulations, the Beyond Lashes website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (email address). If an affected person contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the affected persons related data are automatically stored. Such personal data voluntarily transmitted by an affected person to the controller will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the affected person. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.
6. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The controller shall process and store the personal data of the affected person only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose, or as far as this is provided for by the European legislator or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the storage purpose no longer applies, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or other competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.
7. Rights of the affected person

The affected person has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DS-GVO, pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the affected person.
f) Right to data portability
Every affected person shall have the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit these data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6 (1) (a) DS-GVO or Article 9 (2) (a) DS-GVO or on a contract pursuant to Article 6 (1) (b) DS-GVO and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

8. Data protection provisions regarding the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and evaluation of data about the behavior of website visitors. A web analytics service collects, among other things, data about the website from which an affected person came to a website (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed, or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is primarily used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of online advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The controller uses the suffix "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analytics via Google Analytics. By means of this add-on, the IP address of the affected person's internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google if our website is accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor flows on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the affected person. Cookies have already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the affected person is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google receives knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the affected person, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.
Cookies store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made, and the frequency of visits to our website by the affected person. With each visit to our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the affected person, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transfer this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.
The affected person can, as already explained above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the affected person. Furthermore, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the affected person has the option of objecting to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google and the possibility of preventing such processing. To do so, the affected person must download and install a browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information relating to visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the affected person is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the affected person must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the affected person or another person within their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
9. Data protection provisions regarding the application and use of Instagram
The controller has integrated components of the Instagram service on this website. Instagram is a service that can be classified as an audiovisual platform and enables users to share photos and videos and also to further disseminate such data on other social networks.
The operating company of the Instagram services is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the affected person is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a display of the corresponding Instagram component. As part of this technical process, Instagram receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the affected person.
If the affected person is logged in to Instagram at the same time, Instagram recognizes which specific subpage the affected person visits with each visit to our website by the affected person and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned by Instagram to the respective Instagram account of the affected person. If the affected person clicks one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted with it are assigned to the personal Instagram user account of the affected person and stored and processed by Instagram.
Instagram always receives information via the Instagram component that the affected person has visited our website if the affected person is logged in to Instagram at the same time as accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the affected person clicks on the Instagram component or not. If the affected person does not want this information to be transmitted to Instagram, they can prevent this by logging out of their Instagram account before accessing our website.
Further information and Instagram's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.
10. Payment Method: Privacy Policy for Klarna as a Payment Method
The controller has integrated Klarna components on this website. Klarna is an online payment service provider that enables purchase on account or flexible installment payments. Klarna also offers additional services, such as buyer protection or identity and credit checks.
Klarna is operated by Klarna Bank AB, Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden.
If the affected person selects either "purchase on account" or "installment purchase" as a payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, the affected person's data will be automatically transmitted to Klarna. By selecting one of these payment options, the affected person consents to the transmission of personal data required to process the purchase on account or instalment, or for identity and credit checks.
The personal data transmitted to Klarna typically includes first name, last name, address, date of birth, gender, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, and other data necessary to process the purchase on account or instalment. Personal data related to the respective order is also necessary to process the purchase contract. In particular, this may involve a mutual exchange of payment information, such as bank details, card number, expiration date and CVC code, number of items, item number, data on goods and services, prices and taxes, information on previous purchasing behavior, or other information on the financial situation of the affected person.
The transmission of data is primarily intended for identity verification, payment administration, and fraud prevention. The controller will transmit personal data to Klarna, in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between Klarna and the controller will be transmitted by Klarna to credit reporting agencies. This transmission is intended to determine the identity and creditworthiness of the data subject.
Klarna also shares personal data with affiliated companies (Klarna Group) and service providers or subcontractors, insofar as this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or to process the data on behalf of the customer.
To decide on the establishment, implementation, or termination of a contractual relationship, Klarna collects and uses data and information about the affected person's previous payment behavior as well as probability values for their future behavior (so-called scoring). The scoring is calculated based on scientifically recognized mathematical and statistical procedures.
The affected person has the option of revoking their consent to Klarna's processing of personal data at any time. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used, or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.
Klarna's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/policy/data/de_de/data_protection.pdf.
11. Payment Method: Privacy Policy Regarding PayPal as a Payment Method
The controller has integrated PayPal components on this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which are virtual private or business accounts. PayPal also offers the option of processing virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an email address, which is why there is no traditional account number. PayPal enables online payments to be made to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also assumes escrow functions and offers buyer protection services.
The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal L-2449, Luxembourg.
If the affected person selects "PayPal" as a payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, the affected person's data will be automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the affected person consents to the transmission of personal data required for payment processing.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal generally includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. Personal data related to the respective order is also necessary for processing the purchase contract.
The purpose of transmitting the data is payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transmit personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest in doing so. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller may be transmitted by PayPal to credit reporting agencies. This transmission is for the purpose of identity and credit checks.
PayPal may transmit the personal data to affiliated companies, service providers, or subcontractors if this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or if the data is to be processed on behalf of the controller.
The affected person has the option of revoking their consent to the handling of personal data by PayPal at any time. Revoking consent does not affect personal data that must be processed, used, or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.
Paypal's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
12. Payment method: Data protection provisions for Sofortüberweisung as a payment method
The controller has integrated components of Sofortüberweisung on this website. Sofortüberweisung is a payment service that enables cashless payment for products and services online. Sofortüberweisung is a technical process through which the online merchant receives immediate payment confirmation. This enables a merchant to deliver goods, services, or downloads to the customer immediately after the order is placed.
The operating company of Sofortüberweisung is Klarna Bank AB, Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden.
If the affected person selects "Instant Transfer" as a payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, the affected person's data will be automatically transmitted to Sofortüberweisung. By selecting this payment option, the affected person consents to a processing of personal data required for payment.
The transfer of personal data required for payment processing is required.
When completing a purchase via Sofortüberweisung, the buyer transmits the PIN and TAN to Sofort GmbH. Sofortüberweisung then executes a transfer to the online merchant after technically verifying the account balance and retrieving additional data to verify the account balance. The online merchant is then automatically notified of the completion of the financial transaction.
The personal data exchanged with Sofortüberweisung includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. The purpose of transmitting the data is payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will also transmit other personal data to Sofortüberweisung if there is a legitimate interest in doing so. The personal data exchanged between Sofortüberweisung and the controller may be transmitted by Sofortüberweisung to credit reporting agencies. This transmission is for the purpose of identity and credit checks.
Sofortüberweisung may share personal data with affiliated companies, service providers, or subcontractors if this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or if the data is to be processed on behalf of the affected person.
The affected person has the option of revoking their consent to the handling of personal data by Sofortüberweisung at any time. Revoking consent does not affect personal data that must be processed, used, or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.
The applicable data protection provisions of Sofortüberweisung can be found at https://www.klarna.com/sofort/datenschutz/.
13. Legal basis for processing
Article 6(1)(a) DS-GVO serves as the legal basis for our company's processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the affected person is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to processing operations necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DS-GVO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the affected person or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GVO. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1)(f) DS-GVO. This legal basis applies to processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds if the processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the affected person do not override them. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, the legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the affected person is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 DS-GVO).
14. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) DS-GVO, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
15. Duration for which personal data will be stored
The criterion for the duration of personal data storage is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted unless it is no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract.
16. Statutory or contractual provisions for storage
Provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision
We inform you that the provision of personal data is sometimes required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual provisions (e.g., information on the contractual partner). Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for an affected person to provide us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the affected person is obligated to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the affected person could not be concluded. Before the affected person provides personal data, the affected person must contact one of our employees. Our employee will clarify to the affected person on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of non-provision of the personal data would be.
