The controller for data processing on this website within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is CIRCLES MOVEMENT, Gemmericher Straße 25, 59229 Ahlen, Germany. The controller of personal data is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data.
(1) You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time you access our website, usage data is transmitted by the respective internet browser and stored in log files, the so-called server log files, such as the date and time of access, name of the page accessed, volume of data transferred in bytes - source/reference from which you accessed the page, browser used, operating system used, IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form). The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be passed on or used for any other purpose. However, we reserve the right to subsequently review the server log files if there are concrete indications of illegal use.
(2) We only collect personal data to the extent that you provide it to us as part of contract processing or registration for our email newsletter. Your personal data will be processed and used to fulfill and process your order and to handle your inquiries. After the contract has been fully processed or your customer account has been deleted, your data will be blocked in accordance with retention periods under tax and commercial law. After these periods have expired, they will be deleted unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we have reserved the right to further use of the data as permitted by law, about which we will inform you accordingly below.
(3) We will also use your email address exclusively for our own advertising purposes through email newsletters, provided that you have expressly consented to this as follows: "Please send me regular information about your product range by email. I can unsubscribe from your newsletter at any time." You can revoke your consent to the use of your email address for advertising purposes at any time with effect for the future.
(4) Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. Except for our sales and service partners, who are contractually bound to confidentiality. For example, we will pass on your data (but not payment information) to the transport company commissioned with the delivery as part of the contract processing, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods.
(5) When paying via PayPal, credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal or – if offered – “purchase on account” via PayPal, we will pass on your payment data to PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg as part of the payment processing.

(7) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, Google will shorten your IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services related to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

– Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR: You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted as long as the accuracy of your data, which you dispute, is being verified, if you refuse to delete your data due to unlawful data processing and instead request that the processing of your data be restricted, if you need your data to assert, exercise or defend legal claims after we no longer need this data after the purpose has been achieved, or if you have lodged an objection for reasons related to your particular situation, as long as it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate reasons outweigh the processing;
– Right to information pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR: If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you was disclosed of this rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, unless doing so proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

In the event of revocation, we will delete the data in question immediately, unless further processing can be based on a legal basis for processing without consent.

– Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR: If you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you violates the GDPR, you have
– without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy
– the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.
RIGHT OF OBJECTION: If we process your personal data based on our overriding legitimate interest as part of a balancing of interests, you have the right to object to this processing at any time, with future effect, for reasons arising from your particular situation. If you exercise your right of objection, we will stop processing the data in question. However, we reserve the right to further process your data if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, fundamental rights, and fundamental freedoms, or if the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims. If your personal data is processed by us for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes. You can exercise your right of objection as described above. IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT OF OBJECTION, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.
