General notice and mandatory information
Designation of the responsible body:
The responsible body for data processing on this website is:
MARC AUREL Textil GmbH
Frank Wittenbrink
Wilhelmstr. 9
33332 Gütersloh
The controller decides alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, contact details, etc.).
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Only with your express consent are some data processing procedures possible. You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal notification by e-mail is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority
As a data subject, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of a breach of data protection law. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the State Data Protection Commissioner of the federal state in which our company is based. Here you will find a list of data protection officers and their contact details.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to third parties. The data will be provided in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another person responsible, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Right to information, correction, blocking, deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, the origin of the data, its recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, the right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data. For this purpose and also for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time using the contact options listed in the imprint.
SSL- and TLS- encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the "https://" address line of your browser and the lock symbol in the browser line.
Server log files

- Browser type and version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP adress
This data is not merged with other data sources. The data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Data transmission upon conclusion of the contract for the purchase and shipment of goods.
Personal data will only be passed on to third parties if this is necessary for the processing of the contract. Third parties may be, for example, payment service providers or logistics companies. Further transmission of the data does not take place or only if you have expressly consented to this. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Cookies
Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your terminal device. Cookies help us to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Some cookies are session cookies. Such cookies are deleted automatically at the end of your browser session. On the other hand, other cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them yourself. Such cookies help us to recognise you when you return to our website. With a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict or prevent the setting of cookies. Many web browsers can be configured so that cookies are automatically deleted when the programme is closed. Deactivating cookies may result in limited functionality of our website. The setting of cookies, which are necessary for the execution of electronic communication processes or the provision of certain functions desired by you (e.g. shopping cart), is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and smooth provision of our services. If other cookies are set (e.g. for analysis functions), these are treated separately in this data protection declaration.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies are absolutely necessary for the functionality of the webshop. These cookies assign a unique random ID to your browser so that your unhindered shopping experience can be guaranteed over several page views.
Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies are used to display advertisements on the website in a targeted and individual manner over several page views and browser sessions.
Tracking cookies
Tracking cookies help the shop operator to collect and evaluate information about the behaviour of users on their website.
Personalisation cookies
These cookies are used to collect and process information about the use of the website by users in order to subsequently personalise advertising and/or content in other contexts.
Service cookies
Service cookies are used to provide the user with additional offers on the website. Information obtained via these service cookies may also be processed for page analysis.
In the cookie settings you will find a comprehensive overview of all cookies used as well as the possibility of configuration.
Google Analytics
Our website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider of the web analytics service is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses "cookies." These are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device and enable an analysis of website use. Information generated by cookies about your use of our website is sent to a Google server and stored there. The server is usually located in the USA. Google Analytics cookies are set on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise our website and possibly also our advertising.
IP-Anonymisierung
We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymisation function. This ensures that Google truncates your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transferring it to the USA. There may be exceptional cases in which Google transfers the full IP address to a server in the USA and truncates it there. Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to us. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held by Google.
Browser Plugin
The setting of cookies by your web browser can be prevented. However, some functions of our website may be restricted as a result. You can also prevent the collection of data relating to your website use, including your IP address and subsequent processing by Google. This is possible by downloading and installing the browser plugin accessible via the following link
Opting out of the collection of data by Google
You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie is set that prevents the collection of your data during future visits to our website. For details on how Google Analytics handles user data, please refer to Google's privacy policy.
Order processing
In order to fully comply with the legal data protection requirements, we have concluded an order processing agreement with Google.
Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics
Our website uses the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics. It can be used to create reports that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google as well as from visitor data from third-party providers. It is not possible to assign the data to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time. You can do this via the ad settings in your Google account or by generally prohibiting the collection of your data by Google Analytics, as explained in the section entitled "Opting out of the collection of data".
Google Ads and Google Conversion tracking
Our website uses Google Ads. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States. Ads is an online advertising programme. As part of the online advertising programme, we work with conversion tracking. After a click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device. Google Ads cookies lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve to personally identify users. The cookie allows Google and us to recognise that you have clicked on an ad and have been redirected to our website. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies are not trackable across Ads customers' websites. Conversion cookies are used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who use conversion tracking. Ads clients learn how many users clicked on their ad and were redirected to pages with a conversion tracking tag. However, Ads clients do not receive any information that allows them to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can object to its use. In this case, the conversion cookie must be deactivated in the user settings of the browser. In this way, it will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. The storage of conversion cookies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. As website operators, we have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise our website and our advertising. Details on Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google's privacy policy.
Newsletter data
To send our newsletter, we require an e-mail address from you. Verification of the e-mail address provided is necessary and you must agree to receive the newsletter. Additional data is not collected or is voluntary. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter. The data provided when registering for the newsletter is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You may revoke your consent at any time. To revoke your consent, simply send us an informal e-mail or unsubscribe via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing procedures already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation. Data entered to set up the subscription will be deleted in the event of unsubscription. If this data has been transmitted to us for other purposes and elsewhere, it will remain with us.
Maileon
We use Maileon to send newsletters. The provider is XQueue GmbH, Christian-Pleß-Str. 11-13, 63069 Offenbach am Main. This service allows us to organise and analyse the newsletter dispatch. Sending newsletters with Maileon allows us to analyse the behaviour of the newsletter recipient. The analysis shows, among other things, how many recipients have opened their newsletter and with what frequency links in the newsletter were clicked. Maileon supports conversion tracking in order to analyse whether a previously defined action, such as a product purchase, has taken place after clicking on a link. The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You may revoke your consent at any time. To revoke your consent, simply send us an informal e-mail or unsubscribe via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing procedures already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation. If you do not want Maileon to analyse your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. To unsubscribe, simply send us an informal e-mail or unsubscribe via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter.
YouTube
Our website uses plugins from YouTube for the integration and display of video content. The provider of the video portal is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When a page with an integrated YouTube plugin is called up, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. YouTube thereby learns which of our pages you have accessed. YouTube can assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile if you are logged into your YouTube account. By logging out beforehand, you have the option of preventing this. YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Details on the handling of user data can be found in the YouTube data protection declaration here.
Epoq
We use the personalisation service of epoq internet services GmbH, Am Rüppurer Schloß 1, 76199 Karlsruhe. This sets cookies to show you the best possible product suggestions and content in the web shop and to give us reporting on the success of the epoq services. The cookies are set so that they can only be read by the shop domain itself. You can find out more details in Epoq's privacy policy.
Direct advertising
The MARC AUREL Textil GmbH informs its customers at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about special offers of the company, which are similar to products and services already used by the customers. The data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data for the purposes of such advertising. If a data subject objects to MARC AUREL Textil GmbH to the processing for direct marketing purposes, MARC AUREL Textil GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes. The contact details for exercising the objection can be found in the imprint. Alternatively, the link provided for this purpose in every advertising e-mail can be used. In this case, the customer will not incur any costs other than the investigation costs according to the basic tariffs.
Adyen
Our website enables payment via various payment methods with the help of our service provider Adyen N.V. German Branch, Friedrichstr. 63, 10117 Berlin. Various personal data are collected during the payment process. The transfer of your data to Adyen is based on Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO (consent) and Art. 6 (1) b DSGVO (processing for the performance of a contract). You may revoke your consent at any time. Data processing procedures in the past remain effective in the event of a revocation. You can find further information in Adyen’s privacy policy.
