1. Overview
The following data protection information informs you about the nature and extent of the processing of so-called personal data by HiFi & Foto Koch GmbH. Personal data is information that can be directly or indirectly assigned to you or can be assigned to you. The data processing by HiFi & Foto Koch GmbH can essentially be divided into two categories:
-
For the purpose of contract processing, all data necessary for the performance of a contract with HiFi & Foto Koch GmbH is processed. If external service providers are also involved in the processing of the contract, e.g. logistics companies, payment service providers and/or registration offices of the manufacturer or distributor, your data will be passed on to them to the extent necessary in each case.
-
When calling up the website/application of HiFi & Foto Koch GmbH, various information is exchanged between your terminal device and our server. This may also involve personal data. The information collected in this way is used, among other things, to optimize our website or to display advertising in the browser of your end device.
In accordance with the provisions of the GDPR, you have various rights that you can assert against us. These include the right to object to selected data processing, in particular data processing for advertising purposes. The possibility to object is described in 3.3.3. and 3.4.
If you have any questions about our data protection information, please feel free to contact our company data protection officer at any time. You will find the contact details below.

3. Purposes of data processing, legal basis and legitimate interests pursued by HiFi & Foto Koch GmbH or a third party and categories of data recipients
3.1. calling up our website/application
When calling up our website/application, information is automatically sent to the server of our website/application by the browser used on your end device and temporarily stored in a so-called log file. We have no influence on this. The following information is also collected without your intervention and stored until automated deletion:
- the IP address of the requesting internet-capable device,
- the date and time of access,
- the name and URL of the file accessed,
- the website/application from which the access was made (referrer URL),
- the browser you use and, if applicable, the operating system of your Internet-enabled computer as well as the name of your access provider.
The legal basis for the processing of the IP address is Article 6(1)(f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes of data collection listed below. At this point, we would like to point out that we are not able to draw any direct conclusions about your identity from the collected data, nor do we draw any such conclusions.
The IP address of your terminal device and the other data listed above are used by us for the following purposes:
- Ensuring a smooth connection setup,
- Ensuring a comfortable use of our website/application,
- Evaluation of system security and stability.
The data is stored for a period of 180 days and then automatically deleted. Furthermore, we use so-called cookies, tracking tools, targeting methods and social media plug-ins for our website/application. The exact procedures involved and how your data is used for this purpose are explained in more detail below in section 3.4.
3.2 Conclusion, execution or termination of a contract
3.2.1 Data processing upon conclusion of the contract
The object of activity of HiFi & Foto Koch GmbH is the retail and distance selling of goods and services. In this context, we process the data required for the conclusion, execution or termination of a contract . This includes:
- Salutation, first name and last name
- Invoice and delivery address
- E-mail address
- Invoice and payment data
- date of birth, if applicable
- telephone number, if applicable
- IP address of the requesting internet-enabled device
The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(b) DSGVO, i.e. you provide us with the data on the basis of the contractual relationship between you and us. Insofar as we do not use your contact data for advertising purposes (see 3.3. below), we store the data collected for the purpose of processing the contract until the expiry of the statutory or possible contractual warranty and guarantee rights. After expiration of this period, we retain the information of the contractual relationship required by commercial and tax law for the periods determined by law. For this period (regularly ten years), the data is processed again solely in the event of an audit by the tax authorities. We review the necessity of data storage at regular intervals – at least every two years. With the shipment of your goods, the order data (clarifying, your name, eMail and delivery address) for tracking the shipment and identification of problem cases according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. (in the context of contractual/pre-contractual relations), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. (other requests) DSGVO processed.
Furthermore, the following data processing is required to process the purchase contract:
- If you have selected a payment method other than prepayment, direct debit or cash on delivery, we will pass on the necessary payment data to a payment service provider commissioned by us.
- We pass ondetails of your delivery address to a logistics company commissioned by us for the purpose of processing the purchase contract. To ensure that the goods are delivered according to your wishes, we may transmit your telephone number to the logistics company commissioned by us in the case of international and express shipments. The logistics company may contact you in advance of the delivery to coordinate details of the delivery with you. The data will be transmitted solely for this purpose and deleted after delivery.
Your delivery address and email address will also be stored and processed in the PAQATO shipping analysis system of the company PAQATO GmbH (Johann-Krane-Weg 6, 48149 Münster, Germany) in order to be able to deliver the goods faster and without errors and to ensure smooth communication in this regard (legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO ).
3.2.2 Identity, creditworthiness and transmission to credit agencies
Where necessary, we verify your identity by using information from service providers. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (b) and (f) DSGVO. The authorization for this results from the protection of your identity and the prevention of fraud attempts at our expense. The circumstance and the result of our inquiry will be added to your customer account for the duration of the contractual relationship.
I hereby consent to the verification of my creditworthiness by HiFi & Foto Koch GmbH. I am aware that the check is carried out at the beginning of the order process and that I can revoke my consent at any time.
By declaration to the address given under Contact or in 2. you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the personal data processed until the revocation. If you do not want to give the above consent, please give us before you initiate the completion of your purchase an appropriate notice. In this case, however, we can only offer you payment methods that are not associated with a credit risk for HiFi & Foto Koch GmbH. The circumstance and the result of our inquiry will be saved to your customer account for the duration of the contractual relationship.
If you have already made a purchase from us, the data we have stored about you may be supplemented by so-called score values. Scoring is the creation of a forecast of future events based on information collected and past experience. On the basis of the data stored about you, an assignment is made to statistical groups of people who have had similar entries in the past. The underlying procedure used is a well-founded mathematical-statistical method for forecasting risk probabilities that has been tried and tested in practice for a long time.
In the event of a delay in payment, we transmit the necessary data to a company commissioned to enforce the claim if the other legal requirements are met. The legal bases for this are both Article 6(1)(b) and Article 6(1)(f) DSGVO. The assertion of a contractual claim is considered a legitimate interest within the meaning of the second-mentioned provision. We also transmit information about the delay in payment or a possible bad debt to credit agencies cooperating with us if the other legal requirements are met. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The legitimate interest required hereunder results from our interest as well as the interest of third parties in reducing contractual risks for future contracts.
3.3. data processing for advertising purposes
3.3.1 Advertising purposes of HiFi & Foto Koch GmbH
Insofar as you have concluded a contract with us, we manage you as an existing customer. In this case, we process your postal contact data outside of the existence of a specific consent in order to send you information about new products and services in this way.
3.3.2 Interest-based advertising
To ensure that you only receive information that is of supposed interest to you, we categorize and add further information to your customer profile. Statistical information as well as information about you (e.g. basic data of your customer profile) is used for this purpose. The aim is to send you advertising that is geared solely to your actual or perceived needs and accordingly not to bother you with useless advertising.
The legal basis for the aforementioned processing is in each case Article 6(1)(f) DSGVO. The processing of existing customer data in this way for our own advertising purposes or for the advertising purposes of third parties is to be regarded as a legitimate interest.
3.3.3 Right of objection
You may object to data processing for the aforementioned purposes at any time, free of charge, separately for the respective communication channel and with effect for the future. For this purpose, it is sufficient to send an e-mail or a postal letter to the contact data mentioned under 2.
If you object, the contact address concerned will be blocked for further data processing for advertising purposes. We would like to point out that in exceptional cases, advertising material may still be sent temporarily after receipt of your objection. This is technically due to the necessary lead time of advertisements and does not mean that we will not implement your objection. Thank you for your understanding.
3.3.4 Newsletter dispatch
On our website we offer you the possibility to register for our newsletter. In order to ensure that no mistakes have been made when entering the e-mail address, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure: After you have entered your e-mail address in the registration field, we will send you a confirmation link. Only when you click on this confirmation link will your e-mail address be added to our distribution list. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To do so, simply click on the "Unsubscribe from newsletter" link in each newsletter. Alternatively, you can send an email to the email address given under 2.
For the dispatch we currently use the software of GetResponse (Sp. z o.o., Arkonska 6/A3 80-387 Gdansk, Poland). In order to ensure a smooth dispatch and personalized content as well as to carry out a success control, relevant data is passed on to GetResponse for this purpose. In addition to the e-mail address, this may include information from your customer account and from your usage and purchasing behavior. In addition, further data is collected pseudonymously, such as retrieval times, IP addresses, end devices and browsers, etc. For statistical purposes, we and GetResponse evaluate various actions, e.g. which links are clicked in the newsletter, which articles were sold, etc.. Web beacons and/or tracking pixels are used for the evaluation. The targeting measures listed and used by us and GetResponse are carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1) DSGVO. In this regard, GetResponse is a very secure partner that is contractually bound to the highest data protection standards. Further information on GetResponse's data protection can be found at https://www.getresponse.com/de/legal/datenschutz. A change of provider is not excluded in the future, but is not planned at the moment. In the event of a change of provider, data usage rights will be transferred to the new software provider, who will maintain at least the same high standards.

This includes, among other things, the browser type and version used, the operating system used by the accessing system, the date and time of an access to the website, an abbreviated Internet protocol address (anonymized IP address) and the Internet service provider of the accessing system. Your data will of course be transmitted in encrypted form. You can decide yourself which additional data you provide within the chat / video chat. The processing of your data is basically carried out for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO) or based on your consent, insofar as no contractual relationship exists or is established (Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO). In parts, the data may be used due to the legitimate interest in maintaining and improving the functionality of the tool "Acquire" (Art. 6 para.1 lit. f DSGVO). Insofar as the processing of your data is necessary for the conclusion or performance of the contract, the provision of your data is contractually required. Otherwise, the contractual services cannot be provided.
When using the (video) chat tool, data is also sent to Acquire and stored on servers there. Acquire collects, unless otherwise configured, information such as chat and messaging transcripts and browsing information. Automatic information such as related web browser, IP address, operating system, browser types, page view statistics, and the type of device used is also collected. The data is stored on servers in the USA. Acquire ensures compliance with the EU standard contractual clauses and thus processing in compliance with the requirements of the EU-DSGVO. Further information as well as Aquire's privacy policy can be found at: www.acquire.io/security/ or www.acquire.io/privacy-policy/. Your data will not be stored beyond the use of the Acquire tool.
3.5. customer account
In order to provide you with the greatest possible convenience when shopping, we offer you the permanent storage of your personal data, open and completed orders and package deliveries in a password-protected customer account. After setting up a customer account, no new data entry is required. In addition, you can view the data stored about you in your customer account at any time.
If you order as a new customer, please provide us with the data listed under 3.2. In order to enable a secure processing of your order and a correct assignment of your payment transactions, we have to assign a customer number to your order. This customer number will be communicated to you with the order confirmation.
In order to provide you with the greatest possible convenience when shopping, we offer you the opportunity to view your stored data as well as open and completed orders and package deliveries in a password-protected customer account.
When you enter your customer number, you will be given an automatically generated password. You can change this password in the customer area. The password is used together with your e-mail address and/or customer number to access your customer account.
If you place a second order, you can order again as a new customer or log in to your customer account before placing the order. Clarifying, you do not have to order under the existing or already assigned customer number.
Please treat your personal access data confidentially and in particular do not make them accessible to unauthorized third parties. We cannot accept any liability for misused passwords, unless we are responsible for the misuse. Please note that even after leaving our website, you will automatically remain logged in for a short period of time, unless you actively log out.
3.6. contact form
In order to provide you with a convenient way to contact our service team, we provide you with a contact form. We enrich this contact form with data of your customer profile to make it as easy as possible for you to contact us. We can only retrieve this customer data if you have previously logged in with your email or customer number and your personal password (see 3.5). We cannot accept any liability for misuse of the contact form, unless we are responsible for the misuse.
3.7. photo contests
Several times per calendar year we organize photo contests where you may send in pictures to participate in the contest. These photo contests are organized by HiFi & Foto Koch GmbH or in cooperation with our partners. All persons over the age of 18 may participate. By sending in a picture you agree to the respective conditions of participation. The participant assures that he or she owns all rights to the submitted photo, that he or she has the unrestricted exploitation rights to all parts of the photo, that the photo is free of third-party rights, and that no personal rights are violated in the depiction of persons. If one or more persons are recognizably depicted in the photo, the persons concerned must agree to the photo being published. The participant will confirm the above in writing if requested. Should third parties nevertheless assert claims for infringement of their rights, the participant shall indemnify the organizer against all claims. The data submitted by the participants will be published in the event of publication of the photos as part of the photo competition (reporting on this, award ceremony, publication on the homepage, etc.) or, if necessary, passed on to participating third parties (for example, to newspaper editors). The participants expressly agree to this.
3.8. appointments
On our website you have the possibility to make appointments for an on-site or virtual or digital consultation. For this purpose, certain personal data is collected, including name, address, telephone number and email address. In order to enable our customers to make appointments as smoothly and conflict-free as possible, we integrate the appointment management software of eTermin (eTermin GmbH, Im Wiesengrund 8, 8304 Wallisellen, Switzerland). Personal data is only collected and processed by eTermin GmbH to the extent necessary within the scope of this appointment booking process. We process and store your personal data only as long as it is necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual and legal obligations. If the storage of personal data is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of these obligations, it will be deleted, unless there are legal retention obligations.
4. Recipients outside the EU
With the exception of the processing described under 3.4.2 and 3.4.3, we do not pass on your data to recipients based outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. The processing operations described under 3.4.2 and 3.4.3 result in a transfer of data to the servers of the providers of tracking or targeting technologies commissioned by us. These servers are located in the USA. The data transfer takes place in accordance with the principles of the so-called Privacy Shield and on the basis of so-called standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission.
5. Your rights
5.1. overview
In addition to the right to revoke your consent given to us, you are entitled to the following further rights if the respective legal requirements are met:
- Right to information about your personal data stored by us in accordance with Art. 15 DSGVO,
- Right to correct incorrect data or to complete correct data according to Art. 16 DSGVO,
- Right to have your data stored by us deleted according to Art. 17 DSGVO,
- Right to restrict the processing of your data according to Art. 18 DSGVO,
- Right to data portability according to Art. 20 DSGVO.
5.2. right of objection
Under the conditions of Art. 21 (1) DSGVO, data processing may be objected to on grounds relating to the particular situation of the data subject.
The above general right to object applies to all processing purposes described in this Privacy Notice, which are processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) DSGVO. Unlike the specific right of objection directed at data processing for advertising purposes (compare 3.3.4 above), we are only obliged under the GDPR to implement such a general objection if you provide us with reasons of overriding importance for doing so (e.g. a possible risk to life or health). In addition, you have the option of contacting our data protection officer (See contact in 2.) or the supervisory authority responsible for HiFi & Foto Koch GmbH or to the supervisory authority responsible for the data protection.
6. Data security
All data transmitted by you personally, including your payment data, are transmitted using the generally accepted and secure standard TLS (Transport Layer Security), a technical advancement of SSL (Secure Socket Layer). TLS is a secure and proven standard that is also used, for example, in online banking. You can recognize a secure TSL connection, among other things, by the appended s at the http (i.e. https://...) in the address bar of your browser or by the lock symbol in the lower area of your browser.
We also use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data stored by us against manipulation, partial or complete loss and against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved and reviewed in line with technological developments.
