2. Hosting and server logs
This website is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, Inhaber René Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany. The servers are located in Germany.
When you request a page, your browser automatically transmits technical data that the server stores in log files: your IP address in shortened form, date and time of the request, the page or file requested, the amount of data transferred, the HTTP status code, the previously visited page (referrer), and browser type and operating system.
We process this data to deliver the website, to ensure its stable and secure operation and to detect and fend off attacks. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure and functional operation of the website. The logs are only kept as long as necessary for these purposes and are then deleted automatically. They are not combined with other data.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the host pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.
3. Contact by email
If you send us an email, we process your email address, your name if provided, and the content of your message in order to answer your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to a contract or pre-contractual steps, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is answering enquiries. Our mailbox is also operated by ALL-INKL.COM. We delete your data once your enquiry has been fully dealt with, unless statutory retention obligations apply, for example under commercial or tax law.
4. No cookies, no tracking
This website does not store any information on your device and does not access information stored there (Section 25 of the German TDDDG). No cookies are set, no audience measurement takes place and no usage profiles are created. Fonts are loaded from our own server; no data is transferred to third parties in the process.
5. Links to Amazon
This website contains links to our store on Amazon. As long as you do not click such a link, no data is transferred to Amazon. If you click it, you leave our website; Amazon will usually learn that you came from foamo.de. Amazon itself is responsible for processing your data on Amazon; Amazon’s privacy notice applies.
6. Selling on Amazon: data from Seller Central and Amazon Ads
We sell our products on Amazon. For our own seller account we use inventory management software that we developed ourselves. It accesses our seller account through Amazon’s official interface (Amazon Seller Central, “Selling Partner API”). For our advertising account (Amazon Ads) we currently use reports and bulk sheets from the advertising console; in future we will access it via the “Amazon Ads API”. Sign-in is via “Login with Amazon” using our own Amazon account. The software is used exclusively for our own business; we do not process data for other sellers. No data about visitors to this website is involved.
What data: Via Seller Central we receive order, shipping, inventory, product and settlement data. We do not retrieve buyers’ names or addresses via the interface. For VAT purposes we additionally process Amazon’s VAT transaction report from Seller Central; it also contains buyers’ names and delivery addresses. We only evaluate amounts, countries and – for business customers – the VAT identification number. Via Amazon Ads we receive campaign, bid, budget and performance data such as impressions, clicks, costs and sales. Amazon provides these advertising reports in aggregated form; they contain no information about individual persons.
Purposes and legal bases: processing orders and issuing invoices (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), complying with tax obligations such as VAT returns and with retention obligations under commercial and tax law (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR), inventory and replenishment planning and managing and evaluating our advertising on Amazon (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is the economic operation of our business).
Source: The data comes from Amazon and is made available to us as part of our seller and advertising accounts (Art. 14 GDPR).
Storage and security: The software’s database is located on our own encrypted computers in Germany, not in a cloud. We synchronise our business records and backup copies with our cloud storage, the Storage Share service of Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany. The data is stored in a Hetzner data centre in Germany; a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with Hetzner. No data is transferred to countries outside the EU in this context. Data is transferred between Amazon and our software in encrypted form only. We protect the data with technical and organisational measures under Art. 32 GDPR that are based on Amazon’s data protection requirements for seller software.
Retention: We store the data only for as long as necessary for the purposes stated or as required by statutory retention obligations; we keep accounting records for eight years (section 147(3) of the German Fiscal Code, section 257(4) of the German Commercial Code), tax records such as the VAT transaction report for up to ten years (section 147 of the German Fiscal Code). If Amazon requests deletion or our authorisation for the interface ends, we delete the data received through it within 30 days unless statutory retention obligations prevent this.
Recipients: For accounting and VAT purposes we transmit to our tax advisers, who are bound by professional secrecy, booking data in DATEV format (Germany, One-Stop-Shop and intra-EU stock transfers) – including the VAT identification number for business customers – as well as the VAT returns for Poland and the Czech Republic filed by countX. For our VAT returns in Poland and the Czech Republic we use the countX service of countX GmbH, Chausseestraße 6, 10115 Berlin, Germany. With our authorisation, countX retrieves the sales data it needs directly from Amazon via its own connection; our inventory management software is not connected to countX. This may include buyers’ names, delivery addresses and VAT identification numbers. countX processes the data to prepare and submit our VAT returns (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR). We do not sell any data and do not use buyers’ data for our own advertising.
