Purposes of Data Processing

Legal bases and legitimate interests pursued by Hess Natur-Textilien GmbH & Co. KG or a third party as well as categories of recipients

Data Processing upon Conclusion, Performance or Termination of a Contract

The scope of Hess Natur-Textilien GmbH & Co. KG's business is the distance selling of goods and services, retail trade within the framework of permits issued by the relevant authorities and the serial production of goods to be offered. In this context, we process the data required for the conclusion, performance or termination of a contract with you. This includes:

  • First name, last name
  • Billing and delivery address
  • E-mail address
  • Billing and payment information
  • Date of birth
  • Phone number

You provide us with the data for the order, the performance and the termination of the contractual relationship between you and us. We store the data collected for executing the contract until the expiry of possible contractual or statutory warranty and guarantee rights. After these periods have expired, we retain the information on the contractual relationship required under commercial and tax law for the periods specified by law. For this period, the data will only be processed again in the event of an audit by tax authorities.

We will only disclose data to third parties if it is necessary for processing contracts, if you have expressly consented, after weighing up interests or if Hess Natur is obliged to do so by law or by court order.

Prior to the conclusion of a purchase contract with you and in order to execute it, the following data processing operations by third parties with whom Hess Natur has concluded corresponding contractual agreements (order processing operations) are required. These are the following data processing operations:

If you order goods and services by phone, we will make use of a call centre to take your order, which will record the data for us and pass it on to us.

If you have selected any payment method other than advance payment, we will pass on the necessary payment data to a payment service provider commissioned by us. In the case of direct debit, the direct debit from your bank account is processed by us via our house bank using your account details.

We pass on information about your delivery address to a service provider or logistics company commissioned by us or to the company producing the goods for the purpose of executing the purchase contract. In order to ensure that the goods are delivered according to your wishes, we transmit your e-mail address and, if applicable, your phone number to the company commissioned by us, which will contact you prior to the delivery to discuss delivery details with you. The data will only be transmitted for this purpose and will be deleted after delivery.

Identity, Creditworthiness and Transmission to Credit Agencies

We check your identity and creditworthiness internally and by using information from service providers. The authorisation to do arises from the protection of your identity and the avoidance of fraud attempts at our expense. The circumstance and the result of our enquiry will be added to your customer account or your guest account for the duration of the contractual relationship.

Companies like us, which generally also offer their customers insecure payment methods, have a legitimate interest in protecting themselves against the occurrence of payment defaults and against fraud attempts as much as possible by carrying out creditworthiness checks before accepting insecure payment methods. When you place your order, we show you the payment methods that you can use.

Germany
We pass on your data (name, address, date of birth) to the credit agency Infoscore Consumer Data GmbH, Rheinstr. 99, 76532 Baden-Baden, Germany, which cooperates with us, in order to check your creditworthiness and to assess the risk of non-payment on the basis of mathematical-statistical methods.

Detailed information on Infoscore Consumer Data GmbH, how they handle your personal data and your rights can be found here: https://finance.arvato.com/icdinfoblatt

If you do not want us to check your creditworthiness, please let us know before you complete your purchase or order as a guest. In this case, we can offer you payment methods that do not pose a credit risk to Hess Natur-Textilien GmbH & Co. KG.

Österreich & Schweiz
We pass on your data (name, address and, if applicable, date of birth) to CRIF Bürgel GmbH, Radlkoferstr. 2, 81373 München, Germany in order to check your creditworthiness and to obtain information for assessing the risk of non-payment on the basis of mathematical-statistical methods using address data.

Detailed information on CRIF Bürgel GmbH, how they handle your personal data and your rights can be found here: http://www.crifbuergel.de/de/datenschutz

If you have already made a purchase with us, the data we have stored about you can be supplemented with score values. Scoring is the process of making a forecast about future events based on information collected and past experiences. Based on the data stored about your person, you will be assigned to statistical groups of people with similar entries in the past. The underlying method used is a well-founded mathematical-statistical method for predicting risk probabilities that has been tried and tested in practice for a long time.

In the event of a delay in payment, we will pass on the necessary data to a company commissioned with asserting the claim. The assertion of a contractual claim is a legitimate interest for us.

Data Processing for Advertising Purposes

Advertising Purposes of Hess Natur-Textilien GmbH & Co. KG and Third Parties

In order to send you information about similar and new products and services, we process your postal contact details and your e-mail address. From time to time, we pass on your postal contact details to carefully selected contractual partners from the mail order and address trading sectors so that they can also inform you about their products. The processing of existing customer data for our own advertising purposes or for the advertising purposes of third parties is to be regarded as a legitimate interest.

Interest-Based Advertising

We categorise and supplement your customer profile with further information so that you only receive information that is of supposed interest to you. Both statistical information and information about you (e.g. basic details from your customer profile) are used for this purpose. The aim is to only provide you with advertising that is tailored to your actual or supposed needs and accordingly not to bother you with useless advertising.

Newsletter Dispatch

We would like to point out that advertising material may still be sent temporarily in exceptional cases, even after receipt of your objection. This is technically due to the necessary lead time for advertisements and does not mean that we will not implement your objection. Thank you for your understanding.

When using the sizing guide you are free to send the data below to Fit Analytics to get a size recommendation:

  • height
  • weight
  • figure type (chest/belly)
  • preferences (e.g. „tighter“ or „looser“)
  • age (optional)
  • reference brand and article (optional)
  • bra size (optional)

Any data will be collected anonymised by Fit Analytics and only for the purpose of calculating the individual size for every customer and to continuously optimize the process of recommendations. A „Session-Cookie“ is used to store the following data:

  • recommended size
  • session-ID (randomisied sequence of digits)
  • date and time stamp
  • browser-ype
  • anonymised IP address (via IP masking)

Storing the IP address is done only in a shortened (anonymised) state and further encrypted by means of a hashtag. It is solely used to identify sessions as well as countering cyber attacks (e.g. DoS attacks). The session cookie is valid 10 days to automatically identify returning customers within this time frame so that you don’t have to enter your data for the sizing guide again. In this case, the recommended size can directly be shown on a product detail page without opening the sizing guide again.

  • time and date stamp of the order
  • order number
  • item number
  • selected size
  • price (possibly currency)

You can prevent the cookie being saved by the necessary configuration in your browser. For further information and contact details please see Datenschutzerklärung von Fit Analytics.
