Core area of data processing
In this section, you will find information on our core services and tasks in connection with our online services, such as answering enquiries and providing our contractual services as well as ancillary tasks associated with them.
Order processing in the online shop
We process the data of our users to enable them to select and order the selected products and services, as well as to pay for and deliver or execute them.
- Categories of data processed: Inventory data, contact data, contract data, payment data.
- Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) (Execution of order transactions) (c) (Legally required archiving) and (f) (Legitimate interests) GDPR.
- Purpose of processing: Provision of contractual services for orders in the online shop, billing, delivery, user service.
- Necessity / interest in processing: The data are necessary for the justification and fulfilment of the contract for the order, to facilitate the purchase and to fulfill legal retention obligations. It is also in our legitimate interest to process the data to provide our customers with support in case of customer service requests.
- Categories of recipients: In the case of delivery: use of a fulfilment service provider as well as logistics companies; in the case of payment: payment service providers as well as banks and financial institutions; IT service providers for the operation of the online shop. Your data is stored within the European Union. However, in the case of data transfers in connection with payment processing and IT support or maintenance work, data access from other third countries, i.e. a country outside the UK and the European Union, cannot be ruled out.
- Deletion of the data: The deletion takes place after the expiry of legal warranty and comparable obligations (end of contract claims (6 years) and tax law (10 years) retention obligation). Information in the user account is stored until it is deleted.
User account
A user account (including wish list) requires registration. Afterwards, users can track their orders after entering their login data and use further functions of the user account. Users' account information is not searchable or viewable by external entities such as search engines or by other users. Users are responsible for the safekeeping of their access data.
We offer our own single sign-on procedure for the user account. This means that users who register with one of the online services of the companies belonging to the ZWILLING Group can also use the access data with other online services of companies belonging to the ZWILLING Group.
Single sign-on procedure via third-party providers
In addition to our own single sign-on procedure, we also offer single sign-on logins via third-party providers. This allows you to log in to our online offering using the authentication data stored with the third-party provider (e.g. Facebook or Google).
Authentication takes place directly with the respective third-party provider. In the course of such authentication, we receive a user ID that cannot be used by us for any other purpose and the information that the user is logged in to the respective single sign-on provider under this user ID (so-called "user handle"). In addition, the user's name and email address are transmitted to us. Whether additional data is transmitted to us depends on the selected data releases in the context of authentication and your privacy or other settings with the third-party provider. Depending on the single sign-on provider and the user's choice, this can be different data, usually the e-mail address and the user name. The password entered as part of the single sign-on procedure with the third-party provider is neither visible to us nor is it stored by us.
- Categories of data processed: Inventory data, contact data.
- Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (Consent), Art. 7 GDPR (Conditions for consent)

Links/buttons to social networks and platforms
The links/buttons to social networks and platforms (e.g. Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest) used within our online offer generally only establish contact between social networks or platforms and the users when users click on the links/buttons. This function corresponds to the mode of action of a regular online link. If you click on a corresponding link/button, this opens a new page that is retrieved from the servers of the respective social network or platform. Through this, the operator of the social network obtains knowledge that our website was accessed via your IP address. At the same time, the provider may place cookies on your end device or read cookies, unless you have prohibited the use of cookies in your browser. For further information on any processing of your personal data by the operators of the social networks or platforms, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective operator.
Embedded content and functions
In this section, we inform you which content, software or functions (in short "content") of other providers we embed within the scope of our online offer (so-called "embedding").

Embedding is done for legal reasons - e.g. for cookie management - to make our online offer more interesting for our users - e.g. to be able to display directions to our shops - or to improve the security of the online offer - e.g. to prevent bot attacks.
In order to display the content, it is necessary for the third-party providers of this content to process the IP address of the users, as without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browser. The IP address is thus necessary for the presentation of this content or function. Insofar as the collection of further categories of data is necessary for the presentation of the content, these are listed below under the respective service. ZWILLING's responsibility under data protection law is limited to the collection and transmission of the IP address and any other data required for the presentation of the content to the third-party provider. The responsibility after transmission of the data lies solely with the third party provider. For further information on any processing of your data by the respective third-party provider, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective third-party provider.

Where we rely on legitimate interests in relation to implied consent, such processing is necessary to promote our business.

Facebook Pixel
We use Facebook pixels to create target groups and measure the success of the advertisements we place on Facebook. The aim is, on the one hand, to display advertisements placed by us on Facebook as precisely as possible to those users on Facebook and within the services of partners cooperating with Facebook (so-called "Audience Network" https://www.facebook.com/audiencenetwork/) who have also shown an interest in our products by visiting our website. On the other hand, with the help of the Facebook pixel, we can evaluate the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by determining whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad. The data collected about you is anonymous to us. However, if you have a Facebook user account, Facebook may link the data to your Facebook user account. You have the option to use the following opt-out option of the service provider: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads
