In the latter case, however, we are only liable for the foreseeable damage typical of the contract. The same applies to breaches of duty by our vicarious agents.

The Ocean Studio GmbH Hedwig-Porschütz-Straße 22 10557 Berlin Authorized Managing Directors: Alessia Dräger, Sandra Schulkowski

Email Address: info@the-ocean-studio.com

​

We appreciate your interest in our online store. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below, we inform you in detail about the processing of personal data when using our online store. Personal data is all data that can be personally related to you, e.g., name, address, email addresses, user behavior. With this, we aim to inform you about our processing procedures and simultaneously fulfill our legal obligations, especially from the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

​

1. Access data and hosting

​

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Every time a website is accessed, the web server only automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of retrieval, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the retrieval.

This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the site and improving our offer. This serves in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our predominantly legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer as part of a balance of interests. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

​

Hosting Services by a Third-Party Provider

​

Within the scope of processing on our behalf, a third-party provider provides services for us for hosting and displaying the website. All data collected within the scope of using this website or in forms provided in the online shop, as described below, are processed on its servers. We carefully select the third-party provider, they are bound by our instructions and are regularly reviewed. Processing on other servers only takes place within the framework explained here. We ourselves (or our web hosting provider) collect data on every access to the server (so-called server log files). Server log files can include the address and name of the retrieved websites and files, date and time of retrieval, transmitted data volumes, notification of successful retrieval, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), and typically IP addresses and the requesting provider. Server log files can be used for security purposes, e.g., to avoid overloading the servers (especially in case of abusive attacks, so-called DDoS attacks) and to ensure the server's capacity and stability. Log file information is stored for a maximum of 30 days and then deleted or anonymized. Data required for evidence purposes is exempted from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.

​

• Wix: Web hosting platform; Service provider: Wix.com Ltd., Nemal St. 40, 6350671 Tel Aviv, Israel; Website: https://de.wix.com/; Privacy policy: https://de.wix.com/about/privacy; Order processing contract: https://www.wix.com/about/privacy-dpa-users; Additional information: As part of Wix's aforementioned services, data may also be transmitted to Wix Inc., 500 Terry A. Francois Boulevard, San Francisco, California 94158, USA based on standard contractual clauses or an equivalent data protection guarantee for further processing on Wix's behalf.

The collected information is stored on servers of the aforementioned providers, also outside of Europe. According to their own statements, the provider has imposed a standard equivalent to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has committed to complying with applicable data protection laws for international data transfers. We have also agreed on so-called standard data protection clauses with the providers, the purpose of which is to ensure an adequate level of data protection in the third country.

​

2. Data Collection and Use for Contract Processing, Contacting, and Opening a Customer Account

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us within the scope of your order or when contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email). Mandatory fields are marked as such since we need the data in these cases for contract processing or to process your contact, and you cannot send the order or contact without their information. The data collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR for contract processing and processing your inquiries. If you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR by deciding to open a customer account, we will use your data for the purpose of opening a customer account. After the complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the tax and commercial retention periods, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this declaration. You can delete your customer account at any time, either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a function provided in the customer account.

Due to commercial and tax-related regulations, we are obliged to store your address, payment, and order data for a period of ten years. However, after three years, we will restrict processing, i.e., from this point on, your data will only be used to comply with legal obligations.

​

​3. Data Transfer

​

For the purpose of contract fulfillment in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the order process, we pass on the payment data collected for the handling of payments to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to payment service providers commissioned by us or to the selected payment service. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you create an account there.

In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. In this respect, the data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies.

We use payment service providers and shipping service providers based in a state outside the European Union. The transfer of personal data to these companies only takes place to the extent necessary to fulfill the contract.

Data Transfer to Collection Agencies

For the purpose of contract fulfillment in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, we pass on your data to a commissioned collection agency if our payment claim has not been settled despite previous reminders. In this case, the claim is collected directly by the collection agency. Furthermore, the transfer serves to protect our predominant legitimate interests in the effective assertion or enforcement of our payment claim in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

​

4. E-Mail Newsletter

​

E-mail advertising with newsletter subscription

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use the data required for this or separately provided by you to send you our e-mail newsletter regularly based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

Unsubscribing from the newsletter is possible at any time and can either be done by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided in the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we delete your email address from the recipient list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

​

E-mail advertising without newsletter subscription and your right to object

If we receive your e-mail address in connection with the sale of a product or service and you have not objected, we reserve the right, based on § 7 para. 3 UWG, to regularly send you offers for similar products, like the ones already purchased, from our range by e-mail. This serves to protect our predominant legitimate interests in addressing our customers for advertising. You can object to this use of your e-mail address at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided in the promotional email without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs.

​

5. Blog

​

In our blog, where we publish various posts on topics related to our activities, you can leave public comments. Your comment will be published with your specified username next to the post. We recommend using a pseudonym instead of your clear name. The specification of the username and e-mail address is required; all other information is voluntary. When you leave a comment, we continue to save your IP address, which we delete after two weeks. This storage is necessary for us to defend ourselves in cases of potential publication of illegal content against liability claims. We need your e-mail address to contact you if a third party should object to your comment as unlawful. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c and f GDPR. Comments are not checked before publication. We reserve the right to delete comments if they are objected to as unlawful by third parties.

Bitte beachten Sie, dass Rechtstexte eine präzise Übersetzung erfordern und es immer ratsam ist, eine solche Übersetzung von einem Fachanwalt für Datenschutzrecht überprüfen zu lassen, insbesondere wenn es um rechtsverbindliche Dokumente oder Erklärungen geht.

​

6. Cookies and Web Analysis

​

In addition to the data mentioned above, we use technical tools for various functions when you use our website, especially cookies that can be stored on your device. When you visit our website, and at any time thereafter, you have the choice of whether to generally allow the setting of cookies or which additional individual functions you wish to select. You can make changes in your browser settings or via our Consent Manager.

Below, we first describe cookies from a technical perspective (a), before we discuss in detail your individual selection options by explaining technically necessary cookies (b) and cookies that you can voluntarily select or deselect (c).

(a) Cookies are text files or information in a database stored on your hard drive and associated with the browser you use, so that specific information can flow to the entity setting the cookie. Cookies cannot execute programs or transfer viruses to your computer; they primarily serve to make the web offer faster and more user-friendly. This website uses the following types of cookies, the functionality and legal basis of which we will explain below:

• Transient Cookies: Especially session cookies, these are automatically deleted when the browser is closed or when logging out. They contain a so-called Session-ID, allowing various requests from your browser to be assigned to a common session, and your computer can be recognized when you return to our website.

• Persistent Cookies: These are automatically deleted after a predetermined duration, which varies for each cookie. You can view the set cookies and their durations in your browser settings and manually delete the cookies.

• ​

(b) Mandatory, technically necessary functions for displaying the website: The technical structure of the website requires that we use techniques, especially cookies. Without these techniques, our website cannot be displayed (fully correctly), or the support functions could not be enabled. These are generally transient cookies that are deleted at the end of your website visit, at the latest when you close your browser. You cannot deselect these cookies if you want to use our website. The individual cookies can be seen in the Consent Manager. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.

​

(c) Optional cookies with your consent: We set various cookies only with your consent, which you can select on your first visit to our website via the so-called Cookie Consent Tool. The functions are only activated in the case of your consent and can serve, in particular, to analyze and improve visits to our website, facilitate operation across various browsers or devices, recognize you on a visit, or place advertising (possibly also to align advertising with interests, measure ad effectiveness, or display interest-based advertising). The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the permissibility of processing until the revocation.

Every browser is different in how it manages cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of each browser, explaining how you can change your cookie settings. You can find this for the respective browsers at the following links:

• Internet Explorer™

• Safari™

• Chrome™

• Firefox™

• Opera™

• ​

If you reject cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.

Provided you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR, this website, within the scope of the application of Google Analytics (see below) for advertising purposes, also uses the so-called DoubleClick cookie, which allows your browser to be recognized when visiting other websites. The information automatically generated by the cookie about the visit to this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The IP address is shortened by activating IP anonymization on this website before transmission within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The anonymized IP address transmitted from your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

​

Google will use this information to compile reports on website activity and provide other services related to website usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. After the purpose has ceased and the use of Google DoubleClick by us has ended, the data collected in this context will be deleted.

​

Google Double Click is an offer from Google Ireland Limited, a company registered and operated under Irish law, located at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. (www.google.de).

You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating the DoubleClick cookie via this link. In addition, you can inform yourself about the setting of cookies at the Digital Advertising Alliance and make settings for it. Finally, you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually about their acceptance or exclude the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally. If you reject cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.

7. Use of Google (Universal) Analytics for Web Analysis

​

Provided you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR, this website uses Google (Universal) Analytics for the purpose of website analysis. The web analytics service is an offer from Google Ireland Limited, a company registered and operated under Irish law, located at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. (www.google.de). Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods that enable an analysis of your use of the website, such as cookies. The automatically collected information about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. By activating IP anonymization on this website, the IP address is shortened before transmission within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will generally not be merged with other Google data. After the purpose has ceased and the use of Google Analytics by us has ended, the data collected in this context will be deleted.

​

We primarily record interactions between you as a user of the website and our website using cookies, device/browser data, IP addresses, and website or app activities. In Google Analytics, your IP addresses are also recorded to ensure the service's security and to provide us, as website operators, with information about the country, region, or location of the respective user (so-called "IP location determination"). For your protection, we naturally use the anonymization function ("IP masking"), which means that Google shortens the IP addresses within the EU/EEA by the last octet.

​

Google operates as a data processor, and we have entered into an appropriate contract with Google. The information generated by the cookie and the (usually abbreviated) IP addresses regarding your use of this website are generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and processed there. According to its own statements, Google has imposed a standard on itself that corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has committed to complying with applicable data protection laws during international data transfers. We have also agreed on so-called standard contract clauses with Google, the purpose of which is to ensure an adequate level of data protection in the third country.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: [link]. This will prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google.

​

Further information on the scope of Google Analytics can be found at [link]. Google provides information on data processing when using Google Analytics at [link]. General information on data processing, which according to Google also applies to Google Analytics, can be found in Google's privacy policy at [link].

More information about Google's privacy policy can be found [link].

​

8. Social Media

Use of social plugins from Facebook, Instagram

​

(1) We currently use the social media plugins of Facebook and Instagram, which are only loaded if you have previously activated the function with your consent. The plugins offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users. The legal basis for using the plugins is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, i.e., the integration only takes place after your consent.

​

Facebook is offered by: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Instagram is offered by: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

​

The plugin provider stores the data collected about you as user profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users not logged in) to display demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and to exercise this right, you must contact the respective plugin provider. Data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the plugin provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plugin provider, the data we collect about you will be directly assigned to your account with the plugin provider. If you activate the activated button and, for example, link the page, the plugin provider will also store this information in your user account and share it with your contacts publicly. We recommend that you log out of a social network regularly, especially before activating the button, to avoid an assignment to your profile with the plugin provider.

The information collected is stored on the providers' servers, and with international providers also outside of Europe. In these cases, according to their own statements, the provider has imposed a standard that corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has committed to complying with applicable data protection laws during international data transfers. We have also agreed on so-called standard data protection clauses with the providers, the purpose of which is to ensure an adequate level of data protection in the third country.

​

You can revoke your consent at any time, without affecting the legality of the processing carried out up to the revocation. You can revoke most easily using our Consent Manager or through the features of the social media providers.

​

For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plugin provider, please refer to the privacy policies provided by these providers at the following links:

[link to Facebook] [link to Instagram]

Use of Social Sign-in Buttons from Facebook, Instagram

On our website, we have integrated the buttons [depending on the configuration, e.g., "Continue with Facebook" or "Instagram Sign-In"]. These functions allow you to easily log in via your social network login. The legal basis for using the plugins is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, i.e., the integration only takes place after your consent.

​

Facebook is offered by: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Instagram is offered by: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Similar to the previous section, the plugin provider stores and uses data. (This section is repetitive in explaining how the data is processed and used for advertising and market research.)

You can revoke your consent as described in the previous section. For more details, refer to the privacy policies of the respective providers at the provided links:

Our Online Presence on Facebook and Instagram

Our presence on social networks and platforms is for better, active communication with our customers and prospects. We inform them about our products and ongoing special promotions. We operate our presence with the following providers:

​

Facebook is offered by: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Instagram is offered by: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

​

When you visit our online presences on social media, your data can be automatically collected and stored for market research and advertising purposes. Pseudonymous usage profiles are created from this data. This serves according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to protect our predominant legitimate interests in an optimized presentation of our offer and effective communication with customers and prospects. If you are asked for consent by the respective social media platform operators, e.g., using a checkbox, the legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

​

Data Collection Related to You in This Context

​

The data collected about you in this context is processed by the platforms and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union, in particular to the USA. All of the aforementioned providers claim to maintain an appropriate level of data protection equivalent to that of the former EU-US Privacy Shield, and we have concluded standard data protection clauses with these companies. We are not aware of how the social media platforms use the data from your visit to our account and interaction with our posts for their own purposes, how long this data is stored, and whether data is passed on to third parties. The data processing may differ depending on whether you are registered and logged in with the social network or if you visit the page as a non-registered and/or non-logged-in user. When accessing a post or the account, the IP address assigned to your device is transmitted to the provider of the social media platform.
