However, the provision of personal data is necessary, for example, for the receipt of newsletters or in the case of registration. If you do not provide us with personal data for the purposes listed below, you may not be able to use the functionalities of this website or individual services.

If you register with us as a dealer and use the dealer service or the B2B portal on our website, your details will be processed by us for this purpose. Details on the B2B portal can be found in the instructions in our portal under https://carrera-toys.com/dealer-portal.

This means that after you have registered, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month.

Evalanche is a service that can be used to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. The e-mail address you provide for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored on Evalanche's servers.

Our newsletters sent with Evalanche enable us to analyze the behavior of newsletter recipients via a tracking pixel. Among other things, it can be analyzed how many recipients have opened the newsletter message or how often which link in the newsletter was clicked. We have activated pseudonymised tracking in Evalanche's settings so that it is not possible for us to assign the information collected to your person. Further information on Evalanche's privacy policy can be found at https://help.evalanche.cloud/hc/de/articles/360038742231-Dokumente-zum-Datenschutz-Datenmanagement and in Evalanche's privacy policy: https://www.sc-networks.de/datenschutz/

The legal basis for data processing in connection with the aforementioned analysis is based on your consent, based on § 25 para. 1 sentence 1 TTDSG for the storage and access to information in terminal equipment and Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO for our further processing of your data. You can revoke your consent at any time separately via e-mail to shop@carrera-toys.com.

In order to make the use of our website as pleasant as possible for you, we use so-called web tracking systems. Cookies are usually used for this purpose, i.e. small text files that are sent from a web server to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. This enables us to recognize the device you are using when using our shop. In this way, it is possible for us to determine, for example, whether you are logged in, have an active shopping cart and what content the shopping cart has. The session cookies used for the use of the shop are deleted after the end of the browser session. Other cookies remain on your device and enable us to recognize your device on your next visit.

Most browsers are set to automatically accept cookies. You can deactivate the storage of cookies in your browser and have the option of deleting them from your hard drive at any time. However, you can also use your browser to prevent only certain cookies from being set (e.g. third-party cookies), for example if you want to prevent web tracking. You can find more information on this in the help function of your browser. 

We would also like to point out that you can also install a plugin in your browser to protect your privacy, which offers the possibility to prevent tracking - e.g. AdBlock, Ghostery or NoScript (please note the privacy policy of the respective plugin provider). 

Finally, we would like to point out that if cookies are deactivated, it may not be possible to use all functions of this website to their full extent. Please also note that deactivation may have to be made for each browser and for each device. 

Details of the

cookies used on the website can be found in the cookie banner as well as in the following provisions. The legal basis for the processing of your data follows, as far as in the following provisions in para. 4.1. et seq. not deviated from Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the needs-based design of the website. 

In order to be able to administer your consent to the use of tracking tools, we use the cookie consent technology "Cookiebot". The provider of this technology is Usercentrics A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark, website: https://www.cookiebot.com/de/  ("Usercentrics")). In this context, in addition to the connection data, the granting or refusal of your consent or the revocation of consent will be transferred to Usercentrics. In order to be able to make the corresponding assignment, Usercentrics also sets a cookie in your browser.

Cookiebot is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. c GDPR.

Our website uses the tracking tool "Google Analytics". This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operated under the laws of Ireland, whose registered office is at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). This tracking tool helps us to make the website more interesting for you and to improve the user experience. Data about the use of our website is stored in pseudonymous user profiles. Cookies may also be used for this purpose. In addition, data from different devices, sessions and interactions can be linked to a so-called "User ID". The information generated is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We would like to point out that on our website Google Analytics has been extended by the "anonymizeIp" function. As a result, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only then transmitted to a Google server in the USA.

The shortening of the IP address represents an additional measure pursuant to Art. 25 (1) GDPR to protect users, but it does not lead to the complete data processing being carried out anonymously. For example, when using Google Analytics, in addition to the IP address, other usage data is also collected, which is to be evaluated as personal data, such as identification features of the individual users, which also allow a link, for example, to an existing Google account.

On our behalf, Google will use the information received to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website activity and internet usage. The pseudonymised user profiles will not be merged with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym without separate consent.

For more information about Google Analytics, please visit:

https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2790010?hl=de 

Please note that Google also has independent access to your data collected via Google Analytics and can also use this data for its own purposes. For example, Google can link this data with other data about you, such as your search history, personal account, usage data from other devices and any other data that Google has about you.

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is your consent, based on § 25 para. 1 p. 1 TTDSG for the storage and access to information in terminal equipment and Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO for our further processing of your data. You give your consent via our cookie banner. Please note that Google is a company from the USA. According to a recent ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ), there is no adequate level of data protection in the USA and thus a risk to the protection of your data. For example, under certain conditions, your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes. The new EU standard data protection clauses have been agreed as appropriate safeguards to ensure an adequate level of protection during data transfers.

Cookies may also be used for this purpose. In addition, data from different devices, sessions and interactions can be linked to a so-called "User ID". The information generated is usually first sent to a Google server within the EU.

By default, Google provides for automatic anonymization of users' IP addresses as early as the collection of user data. In addition, the IP addresses are neither logged nor stored by Google. However, the shortening of the IP addresses does not mean that the complete data processing is carried out anonymously. For example, when Google Analytics is used, usage data is collected that is to be evaluated as personal data, such as identifying features of the individual users, which also allow a link to an existing Google account, for example.

On our behalf, Google will use the information obtained via Google Analytics to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website activity and internet usage.

We use the Google Tag Manager "GTM". Through this service from Google, website tags can be managed via an interface. However, the GTM only implements tags. In this respect, no cookies are used. The GTM only triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data, but the GTM does not access this data. The data is evaluated exclusively in the respective tool (see in detail the data described in para. 4 listed tools). However, the GTM collects your IP address as well as the online identifiers (including cookie identifiers), which may also be transmitted to Google in the USA. Additional information on GTM can be found under https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6102821?hl=de

The legal basis for the use of GTM is your consent, based on § 25 para. 1 p. 1 TTDSG for the storage and access to information in terminal equipment and Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO for our further processing of your data.

Our website uses plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. If you visit one of our websites equipped with a YouTube plugin and actively click on the corresponding field, a connection to YouTube's servers will be established. In doing so, the YouTube server is informed which of our websites you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

The legal basis for the use of YouTube is your consent, based on § 25 para. 1 p. 1 TTDSG for the storage and access to information in terminal equipment and Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO for our further processing of your data. You give your consent via our cookie banner.   Please note that the provider is a company from the USA.

If you still wish to consent to the use of this tool, you can choose to do so via the cookie banner.

For more information on how to handle user data, please refer to YouTube's privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

To reduce delivery errors, we use Google's Address Validation API. The Address Validation API can be used to determine whether an entered address refers to a real location or contains errors. For this purpose, your IP address and the content you enter in the address field will be transmitted to Google. If, for example, the address entered is incomplete, a correction recommendation is made via the Address Validation API, which you can accept. Alternatively, you will be asked to correct the address you entered.

The legal basis for the use of the Address Validation API is your consent, based on § 25 para. 1 p. 1 TTDSG for the storage and access to information in terminal equipment and Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO for our further processing of your data.

We have integrated "AWIN" on our website. AWIN is an affiliate marketing software from AWIN AG, Eichhornstraße 3, 10785 Berlin, Germany. AWIN allows registered providers ("advertisers") to advertise their online goods and services within the framework of programs. For this purpose, the persons registered with AWIN (so-called "publishers") make their advertising space, such as websites, available to the "advertisers". We are registered with AWIN as a "publisher", i.e. we provide the "advertisers" with advertising space (through links) on our website.

As part of its tracking services, AWIN stores cookies on end devices of users who visit or use websites or other online offers of advertisers (e.g. when placing an online order) to document transactions. These cookies serve the sole purpose of correctly assigning the success of an advertising medium and the corresponding billing within the network. In the AWIN tracking cookies, an individual sequence of digits is stored, but cannot be assigned to the individual user, with which the affiliate program of an advertiser, the publishers and the time of the user's action (click or view) are documented. In doing so, AWIN also collects information about the end device from which an action is performed, e.g. the operating system and the browser.

The legal basis for the use of AWIN is your consent, based on § 25 para. 1 p. 1 TTDSG for the storage and access to information in terminal equipment and Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO for our further processing of your data. You give your consent via our cookie banner.

For more information about AWIN's use of data, please refer to the company's privacy policy: https://www.awin.com/de/rechtliches

In order to be able to redirect the user to the appropriate webshop (e.g. the US webshop) from us, we use the so-called geo-localization of "Country.is". Country.is is an open-source geolocation API that determines a user's country (and nothing else) based on their IP address. IP-based geolocation is the mapping of an IP address or MAC address to the real geographic location of an Internet-connected computer or mobile device. Geolocation is the process of assigning IP addresses to the country, region (city), latitude/longitude, ISP, and domain name, among other things. On this basis, the user is automatically redirected to the webshop that suits him or her locally.

On our website we use "Azur Content Delivery Network" from Microsoft, a service of Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd., One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland.

With Azur Content Delivery Network, we can reduce load times and improve performance for our high-bandwidth site content by distributing user requests and serving them directly from Microsoft servers. When you access website content, you connect to Microsoft servers, whereby your IP address and, if applicable, browser data such as your user agent, but also the time and date of your visit to the website are transmitted. This data is processed exclusively for the purposes mentioned above and to maintain the security and functionality of Azur Content Delivery Network. The specific storage period of the processed data cannot be influenced by us, but is specified by Microsoft. Additional information can be found at: https://azure.microsoft.com/de-de/support/legal/.

The legal basis for the use of Azur Content Delivery Network is your consent, based on § 25 para. 1 p. 1 TTDSG for the storage and access to information in terminal equipment and Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO for our further processing of your data. You give your consent via our cookie banner. Please note that the provider is a company from the USA. According to a recent ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ), there is no adequate level of data protection in the USA and thus a risk to the protection of your data.

On our website, we use the service of Findologic GmbH, Jakob-Haringer-Str. 5a, 5020 Salzburg ("Findologic") to provide a search function for our articles as well as for navigation. For the aforementioned service, cookies are used and various data are transferred to Findologic. This includes, in particular, the IP address and browser data of the users as well as the associated behavioral data resulting from the search queries. On the one hand, this allows us to optimize the shopping experience for our users and, on the other hand, to better understand which products our users are most interested in. Further information on Findologic's privacy policy can be found at: https://findologic.com/datenschutz/  

The legal basis for the use of Findologic is your consent, based on § 25 para. 1 p. 1 TTDSG for the storage and access to information in terminal equipment and Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO for our further processing of your data. You give your consent via our cookie banner.

The so-called "meta-pixel" is an invisible meta-pixel integrated on our website, which is used to analyze the online behavior of each website visitor by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (formerly Facebook Ireland Limited), 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta"). The Meta Pixel makes it possible to transmit customer data such as first name, last name, e-mail address, etc. to Facebook and enrich it with existing tracking data. This makes it possible to collect data from non-Facebook users or to record users who are not logged in to Facebook while visiting a website. As a result, website visitors are tracked via Meta, who deliberately prevent the storage of third-party cookies. For example, if you add a vehicle to the shopping cart and cancel the purchase process, Meta will receive this information. We then have the opportunity to address you specifically on Facebook with an advertisement. However, the Meta Pixel also makes it possible to win new customers in a targeted manner and to address new people who resemble website visitors.

In addition to us, Meta itself is also responsible for data processing. The processing of the data by Meta is carried out in accordance with Meta's data usage policy.

Our website contains links to other websites such as the Carrera Club website or to social networks (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram). These websites are operated partly by us and partly by third parties. If you follow the links, information may be transmitted to these third parties in the latter case. The purpose and scope of the data collection by the websites of third parties as well as the further processing and use of your data there, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for the protection of your privacy, can be found in the respective data protection notices of the operators.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties or other recipients if this is necessary for the provision of services, if you have given your consent, if there is a legal obligation or if the data transfer is permitted on the basis of another legal basis.

Our social media presences (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Xing and Instagram) serve the purpose of informing you about Carrera as well as about new developments, services and products from us. Depending on the offer of the respective provider, you have the opportunity, for example, for different interactions (comments, recommendations, etc.), e.g. in connection with our social media presence. User interaction is an important criterion for us in order to conduct targeted marketing. For example, we can determine which posts are read preferentially. We therefore also use the statistics determined by the providers in this regard for our own purposes. If we process personal data of the users, the legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest then consists in particular in targeted information / advertising. You will be informed separately by the providers about the legal basis on the basis of which the providers process your data for their own purposes.

In individual cases, we are jointly responsible with the social media providers for the processing of your personal data. In this case, you can assert your rights (see section 11) both against us and against .dem social media provider. However, the first point of contact is the social media provider.

We have entered into an agreement with Meta (formerly Facebook) on joint responsibility for the processing of personal data. This applies with regard to the processing of so-called "insights data". These are page statistics, in particular on the interactions of Facebook users. Details of the Insights data can be found here. You can view our agreement with Meta at the following link.

Please note that Meta also processes your data outside the EU/EEA. According to a recent ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ), there is no adequate level of data protection in the USA and thus a risk to the protection of your data. For example, under certain conditions, your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes.

With regard to the storage period of the data processed by us for our own purposes, we refer to our explanations under para. 9. In all other respects, please note the data protection regulations of the respective social media provider.

To the extent necessary for our purposes, we also transfer your data to recipients outside the EU if you have given your consent, there is a legal obligation or the data transfer is permitted on the basis of another legal basis. As part of data processing, your data will also be transmitted to recipients based in the USA. Please note, however, that according to a recent ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ), there is no adequate level of data protection in the USA and thus a risk to the protection of your data. For example, under certain conditions, your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes. Incidentally, with regard to the legal basis for the transfer of data, we first refer to Art. 49 GDPR. An adequate level of data protection will be ensured in the future by concluding the new so-called EU standard data protection clauses.

In principle, your personal data will be stored by us for as long as it is necessary for the aforementioned purposes of processing, in the event of an objection there are no compelling reasons worthy of protection on the part of Carrera to the contrary or in the event of a revocation there is no other legal basis for the data processing.

However, in certain cases, e.g. if there is a legal obligation to retain data, your personal data will not be deleted immediately, but will initially be blocked.

We protect your data from unauthorized access, loss or destruction through technical and organizational measures. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments. Our employees and all persons involved in data processing are obliged to comply with data protection laws and the confidential handling of personal data. Our employees are trained accordingly.

To protect the personal data of our users, we use a secure online transmission method, the so-called "Secure Socket Layer" (SSL) transmission. You can recognize this by the fact that an "s" ("https://") or a green, closed lock symbol is http:// attached to the address component. By clicking on the icon, you will receive information about the SSL certificate used. The display of the symbol depends on the browser version you are using. SSL encryption ensures the encrypted and complete transmission of your data.

Within the framework of the legal requirements, you are generally entitled to

 

• confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you are being processed by Carrera,
• information about this data and the circumstances of the processing,
• Correction if this data is incorrect,
• Deletion, insofar as there is no justification for the processing and no obligation to store it,
• restriction of processing in special cases determined by law,
• Objection in the case of data processing on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f. GDPR and
• Transmission of your personal data – if you have provided it – to you or a third party in a structured, common and machine-readable format.

 

Insofar as the processing of your personal data

is based on your consent, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time, with the consequence that the processing of your personal data becomes inadmissible for the future. However, this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
