Privacy Policy

Note: This privacy policy is a template with placeholders and general wording. It must be adapted to the services actually used (hosting, analytics, newsletter, etc.) and reviewed by a lawyer before going live.

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Fitters Footwear GmbH, Am Schmalbach 4a, 35745 Herborn, Germany
Email: info@fitters-footwear.com, phone: +49 2772 9969985

2. Collection and storage of personal data

a) Contact & offer form

When you contact us via the "Offer your stock" form or by email, we process the data you provide (e.g. company, name, email, phone, details of the stock and any uploaded photos) in order to handle your request and prepare a quote.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR (initiation/performance of a contract) and Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR (your consent via the consent checkbox).

b) Server log files

When the website is accessed, the hosting provider automatically collects information (e.g. IP address, date/time, page requested, browser type). The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure, fault-free operation).

In addition, we run an anonymous, cookie-free reach measurement directly on our server: it counts page views and – via a daily-rotating, non-reversible short value – the approximate number of visitors per day. No IP addresses are stored, no cookies are set and no user profile is created. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in statistical analysis of website usage).

3. Hosting

This website is hosted by [Hosting provider, address]. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the provider.

4. Web analytics with Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics uses cookies or comparable technologies to analyse how the website is used (e.g. pages viewed, time on site, approximate region). Your IP address is anonymised.

Analytics is only carried out after your consent, which you give via our cookie notice. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent) and Section 25(1) TDDDG. No analytics cookies are set and Google Analytics is not loaded before consent is given (Google Consent Mode v2).

You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. Data may be transferred to Google in the USA; this is based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. For more information, see Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.

5. Recipients / disclosure

Your data is only passed on where necessary to process your request (e.g. logistics/forwarding partners for collection) or where there is a legal obligation to do so.

6. Storage period

We store your data only for as long as required for the purposes stated, or as required by statutory retention periods (e.g. under commercial and tax law).

7. Your rights

You have the right to:

Access (Art. 15 GDPR)
Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
Object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR)
Withdraw consent given (Art. 7 (3) GDPR)

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
