Privacy policy
Thank you for your interest in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about how we handle your data.
Storage of access data in server log files
You can visit our website without providing any personal information. We only store access data in so-called server log files, such as the name of the requested file, the date and time of the request, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. These data are evaluated exclusively to ensure trouble-free operation of the site and to improve our services and do not allow us to draw any conclusions about your person.
Data collection and use for contract processing and when opening a customer account
We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us in the context of your order, when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail) or when opening a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process the contract and deal with your enquiries. After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you below. The deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.
Data transfer for contract fulfilment
In order to fulfil the contract, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. For the processing of payments, we pass on the payment data required for this to the financial institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the payment service provider commissioned by us or to the payment service selected by you in the ordering process.
Use of data when registering for the e-mail newsletter
If you register for our newsletter, we will use the data required for this purpose or separately provided by you to send you our e-mail newsletter on a regular basis. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter.
Use of data when registering for the Zotter Choco Club
If you register for our Zotter Choco Club, we will use the data required for this purpose or separately provided by you to send you regular communications by e-mail, app notification and message (news and promotions) to promote products and services. You can unsubscribe from the Zotter Choco Club and / or the sending of electronic mail for advertising purposes at any time by sending us an e-mail with the subject "Unsubscribe Choco Club e-mails". Furthermore, with every e-mail message sent within the framework of the Zotter Choco Club, we grant you the possibility to refuse the sending of further messages via a link provided for this purpose.
Use of data for postal advertising and your right of objection
Furthermore, we reserve the right to store your first and last name, your postal address and - insofar as we have received this additional information from you within the framework of the contractual relationship - your title, academic degree, year of birth and your profession, industry or business name in summarised lists and to use them for our own advertising purposes, e.g. to send you interesting offers and information about our products by postal mail. You can object to the storage and use of your data for these purposes at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below.
