3.1 Scope of processing of personal data

In principle, we only process your personal data to the extent this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of your personal data regularly takes place only with your consent. An exception applies in such cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal provisions.

Data processing at Ekornes can mainly be divided into three categories:
 - For purchase and sale, all data required for the performance of a contract with Ekornes will be processed. If external service providers are also involved in the processing of the contract, such as logistics companies or credit bureaus, your data will be passed on to them to the extent necessary.
 - In addition to buying and selling, we also use the data collected from you for the purpose of informing you from time to time about new offers and promotions.
 - When you access the Ekornes website, different parts of the information are exchanged between your device and our server. This may also be personal data. The information collected in this way is used, among other things, to optimize our website or to display advertisements in the browser of your device.

 

3.2 Legal basis for processing personal data
To the extent that we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to treatment operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

To the extent that the processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR acts as the legal basis.
In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 paragraph 1 letter d serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary for the performance of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the first interest, Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3.3 Data Deletion and Storage Duration
The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this is stipulated by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

 

3.4 U.S. Data Transfer Notice
Our website contains tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the United States is not a safe third country under EU data protection legislation. U.S. companies are obliged to disclose personal data to the security authorities without you being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that the US authorities will process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR also lies in these purposes.

4.4 Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer needed to achieve the purpose for which they were collected.

If the data is stored in log files, this is the case no later than after seven days. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses are deleted or alienated so that it is no longer possible to assign the caller client.

 

4.5 Possibility of objection and elimination
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. There is therefore no possibility of objection.

6.1 Data processing at conclusion of contract
Ekornes' activity is the distribution and sale of Stressless brands. In this context, we process the data required for the performance of a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures (e.g. product purchase, warranty registration, request for fabric and leather samples, catalogue request) with you.

These include, for example:
Message, title, first name, last name
Billing and shipping address
Email adress
Billing and payment data
Birthdate
Telephone number

 

The legal basis for this is Article 6 para. 1 letter b GDPR, i.e. you provide us with the data on the basis of the contractual relationship between you and us. In order to process your e-mail address for online orders, certain countries are required to electronically confirm receipt of your order. Fill inn the applicable country’s legislation. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR. If we do not use your contact details for advertising purposes, we will store the data collected for contract processing at least until the statutory or possible contractual warranty and warranty rights have expired.

 

For the purpose of processing the purchase contract, we cooperate with logistics companies. The following data may be transferred to these logistics companies ordered by us for the purpose of delivering the ordered goods or for advertising them: Information about your delivery address (first name, last name, postal address) as well as email address and telephone number. The logistics company will contact you in advance of delivery to inform you of the delivery time or to coordinate the details of the delivery with you.

 

6.2 Identity, creditworthiness and transfer to credit bureaus
If necessary, we check your identity using information provided by service providers. The legal basis for this is Article 6 paragraph 1 letter b and letter f GDPR. The authorisation to do so is due to the protection of your identity and the avoidance of fraud at our expense. The circumstances and the result of our request will be stored in your customer account or guest account for the duration of the contractual relationship.

 

During the ordering process, we also check your creditworthiness if you choose the payment method "on account". For this purpose, we transfer the following types of data to so-called credit bureaus that cooperate with us: name, address, date of birth. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The legitimate interest required hereinafter is a result of our interest in minimising the risk of debit default associated with these payment methods. The fact and the result of our request will be stored in your customer account for the duration of the contractual relationship.

 

If you have already made a purchase with us, the data we have stored about you can be supplemented with so-called point values. Scoring is making a forecast of future events based on collected information and experiences from the past. Such processing is based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The preparation of such forecasts is to be regarded as a legitimate interest in the sense of the said regulation. Based on the data stored about you, an assignment is made to statistical groups of people who had similar entries previously. The underlying procedure used is a well-founded, proven, mathematical-statistical method for predicting risk probabilities.

 

In the event of a delay in payment, we reserve the right to transfer the necessary data to a company that is tasked with asserting the claim if the other legal requirements are met. The legal basis for this is both Article 6 (1) (b) and Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Assertion of a contractual claim is to be regarded as a legitimate interest in the sense of the other provision. If the other legal requirements are met, we also transmit information about the delay in payment or any bad receivables to credit bureaus that cooperate with us. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The legitimate interest required here is a result of our and third parties' interest in reducing contractual risk for future contracts.

 

7.1 Introduction

The following statements refer to the processing of personal data for advertising purposes. The GDPR declares such data processing on the basis of Article 6 para. 1 lit f GDPR as fundamental conceivable and as a legitimate interest. The duration of data storage for advertising purposes does not follow any rigid principles and is based on the question of whether storage is necessary for advertising purposes.

 

7.2 Promotional purposes for Ekornes and third parties
If you have entered into a contract with us, we will treat you as a customer. In this case, we process your postal contact information without a specific consent to send you information about goods and services in this way.

We process your e-mail address, if received from you, to send you information about our own, similar goods or services outside the existence of a specific consent. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services appears from the applicable country's legislation. Fill in the applicable country’s legislation.

 

To ensure that you only receive advertising information that is of interest to you, we categorize and add additional information to your customer profile. Both statistical information and information about you (e.g. basic data of your customer profile) are used for this purpose. The goal is to send you advertising that is based solely on your actual or supposed needs and not to bother you with useless advertising.

 

7.4 Right to object

You can object to data processing at any time for the aforementioned purposes free of charge, separately for the respective communication channel and with effect for the future. An e-mail or a postal letter to the responsible party is sufficient for this.

 

If you object, the affected contact address will be blocked for further processing of ad data. Please note that in exceptional cases, promotional material may still be sent temporarily even after receipt of your objection. This is technically due to the required delivery time for ads and does not mean that we will not implement your objection. We thank you for your understanding in this regard.

 

On our website we offer you the opportunity to sign up for our newsletter. In order to be sure that no mistakes were made when entering the e-mail address, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means: After entering your email address in the registration field, we will send you a confirmation link. Only when you click on this confirmation link will your email address be added to our email list. Your electronic contact data is processed at this time solely on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke the consent you have given in this way at any time with effect for the future. A short notification email is sufficient for this, or you can click on the "unsubscribe" button at the end of each newsletter.

 

We offer visitors to our website the opportunity to contact us via a contact form or by email. We use the information you provide via the contact form or via email (mandatory information is marked with an asterisk) solely for the purpose of processing your request. This is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit f GDPR. Proper handling of your concerns is to be regarded as a legitimate interest under the GDPR. If you contact us in connection with a contractual relationship between you and us, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, i.e. this contractual relationship, also the legal basis for data processing. Provided that there are no legal retention periods, the data provided will be deleted immediately after the purpose no longer applies.

 

From time to time, we may give you the opportunity to participate in competitions and surveys, for example on our website, via our social media channels (including Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest), from our newsletter or by post. If you choose to participate, we will ask you to provide us with certain information. Such data depends on the particular competition, competition or survey.

 

It will only be passed on to third parties if this is necessary to process the competition (e.g. sending the prize via a logistics company), the competition or the survey (e.g. sending a free product as a thank you for participating).

 

Unless otherwise specified in the respective competitions, competitions or surveys, or if you have not given us further express consent, the personal data you provide to us as part of your participation will only be used to process the competitions (e.g. determination of winners, notification of winners, dispatch of prize), competition or survey. The legal basis for data processing is basically the performance of the legal relationship pursuant to Article 6 paragraph 1 letter b GDPR, which arises between you and us with your participation. If a declaration of consent is submitted, Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR is the legal basis for data processing based on the consent.

 

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer needed to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data, this is the case when the competition, competition or survey has ended.

 

In the case of non-cash prizes, the data of the winners will be kept during the statutory warranty requirements in order to arrange for repair or exchange in the event of a defect.

 

Participants have the opportunity to revoke their consent to the processing of personal data at any time with effect for the future.

 

Entrants also have the option to withdraw their consent to the terms of participation at any time during a contest, contest or survey. But further participation is then no longer possible.

IT suppliers, marketing agencies, suppliers of logistics services, payment service providers, etc.

 

When we engage external data processors to process your personal data on our behalf, we require them to only process your personal data in accordance with our instructions. We also require external data processors to sign appropriate contracts that provide adequate safeguards to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in a manner that data processing meets the requirements of the applicable data protection regulation and ensures adequate protection of your rights.

 

In the event that we disclose your personal data to third parties who do not act as data processors under our management but as independent data controllers, we will do our best to ensure that they are reliable and have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data that they assure us of clear obligations to comply with applicable data protection provisions and that they will not use the personal data they receive from us for purposes other than providing agreed services and for statistical analysis in anonymous form. 

11.1 Comment function on the blog
You have the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog, which can be found on the website of the data controller. A blog is a portal maintained on a website, usually open to the public, where one or more people called bloggers or online bloggers can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. Your blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.

 

If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, information about the time the comment was entered, and the username (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject will be stored and published in addition to the comments made by the data subject. Moreover, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject is also logged. The IP address is stored for security reasons and in case the person violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content by submitting a comment. The storage of these personal data is therefore in the controller's own interest, so that he can exempt himself in the event of a breach of the law.This collected personal data will not be passed on to third parties unless such transfer is required by law or serves the legal defense of the controller.

 

The comments in the blog can usually be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, it is possible for a commenter to subscribe to the comments that follow their comment on a particular blog post.

If a data subject decides to subscribe to comments, the data controller sends an automatic confirmation email to check in the double opt-in procedure whether the owner of the provided e-mail address is really responsible for this option. The option to subscribe to comments can be terminated at any time. If consent is given, the legal basis for processing the data is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
