If you purchase in our web-shop you do fully agree that we can contact you in case of questions with your order. Without this data we can not conclude the contract with you. A transfer of data to third parties does not take place, with the exception of the transfer of the credit card data to the processing bank / payment service provider for the purpose of debiting the purchase price, to the transport company / shipping company commissioned by us to deliver the goods and to our tax advisor/book keeper to fulfill our tax obligations.
After termination of the shopping process, the data stored with us will be deleted. In the case of a contract, all data from the contractual relationship are stored until the expiry of the tax retention period (7 years).

Links to other websites
Our website may contain links to other websites. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement.

Cookies
Our website uses so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device using the browser. They do no harm.
We use cookies to make our offer user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
If you do not want this, you can set up your browser so that it informs you about the setting of cookies and you allow this only in individual cases.
Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.
Web analytics
Our concern within the meaning of the DSGVO (legitimate interest) is the improvement of our offer and our website.
We use analytical information for supporting business analysis and operations, business intelligence, product development, improving products and services, personalizing content, providing advertising, and making recommendations.
Our website uses features of the web analytics service Google analytics, headquartered in the USA, which has to comply with GDPR but it is yet to determine whether the data is stored in a European server or a server based in the USA. For this purpose, cookies are used that allow an analysis of the use of the website by your users. The information generated thereby is transmitted to the server of the provider and stored there.
You can prevent this by setting up your browser so that no cookies are stored. The relationship with the web analytics provider is based on a European Commission adquacy decision: Privacy Shield.
The data processing takes place on the basis of the legal regulations of the § 96 Abs 3 TKG as well as the art 6 Abs 1 a) (consent) and / or f (legitimate interest) of the DSGVO.
Since the privacy of our users is important to us, we insured that Google also is compliant with the GDPR and thus far, it seems as though the company is updating the system to be compliant
Through certain settings on your computer you can avoid the saving of cookies; however you might then not be able to use all functions of this website. You can furthermore avoid the collection of Cookies and their usage by google (incl. your IP-address) by downloading and installing a Browser-Plugin which is available through this website: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
Newsletter
You have the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletter via our website. For this we need your e-mail address and your declaration that you agree with the subscription to the newsletter and our terms and conditions. Please note that we use the service ‘Mailchimp’ to send out the newsletter. Therefore your email address will be going through their server. Mailchimp does have their server in the US but states that it is complying with the regulations of the GDPR which is why PGM believes to be able to use their services.
You can cancel the subscription to the newsletter at any time. Please send your cancellation to the following e-mail address: sv@wear-magazine.com. We will immediately delete your data in connection with the newsletter dispatch.
