Additional information, such as a shop name, billing, and payment information (including billing contact name, address, and telephone number), a telephone number, and/or a physical postal address, may be necessary in order for us to provide a particular service.

Data analytics tools help us improve our website and applications' functionality and Services. This program tracks App usage, App events, cumulative usage, performance statistics, app issues, debugging information, and App downloads.

- Information from Third Parties:
Users may log in or register an account on KulturCart using third-party services like Google, etc. Linking KulturCart to third-party apps or services is optional, and it is subject to your agreement with that third party. Kulturcart can get information from third-party applications if you connect your account. When we interact with you on social media, we may gather public information. The services may utilize the information. You may also share part of your KulturCart activity on related social media networks, which you can cancel in your account settings. Several third-party programs you use to establish or login into your account may allow you to stop receiving our messages or forward them to another email address. We may suspend or delete your account if we cannot transmit important account messages.
- Non-Member Information:
When a user who is not yet a KulturCart member (a "non-member") provides information (like an email address, comments, or IP address) in connection with certain features, such as when that user signs up for a KulturCart newsletter, when that user invites other users to visit the website, when that user visits our blog, when that user makes a transaction, etc. KulturCart will only use non-member information for reasons that were made clear when the information was given to us. This could be because the information is needed to run our services or because KulturCart has a legitimate interest in it.
3.1.2 Data Retention and Security
KulturCart will retain your information for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy, for the lifespan of your user account, or as needed to offer the Services to you. You can cancel your account if you decide you no longer want KulturCart to utilize the information you provided to offer the services to you. KulturCart and Seller(s) will preserve and use your information to comply with legal responsibilities (such as tax/revenue laws), settle disputes, enforce our agreements, and as otherwise specified in this policy. If a customer's KulturCart account is deleted, the profiles in the KulturCart system are erased and anonymized (all the personal data is replaced with completely random data). Anonymizing the data will allow us to maintain associated statistics such as order history for the marketplace while also ensuring that sellers are not misled about their tax retention responsibilities. Orders are no longer possible if an account is deleted without a fresh registration. After the applicable commercial and tax retention obligations have expired, all information will be permanently erased.
- General Information about the customer account:
KulturCart offers customers the permanent storage of personal data in a password-protected customer account/user account. Creating a customer account is voluntary and data collected is processed on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b) GDPR. After setting up a customer account, no new data entry is required and users can view and change the data stored about them at any time. Customers have the option of deleting their customer account at any time, but all data visible in the customer account will not be deleted at the same time. The legal basis for this further data processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter c) GDPR and Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR.
- Customer Account Protection:
Customer accounts require a password. Our password policy recommends a strong password with eight digits and no personal information. Your data can only be protected if you keep your access data safe and secure from third parties. Many people use the same password for several services. Don't do this. "Phishing mailings" are used by third parties to steal login details and other information, such as email addresses and contact details. Check personal data requests for validity, especially if they come via email. KulturCart continually monitors client accounts for fraudulent logins. If KulturCart suspects fraudulent access, it will ban the client account. In addition, KulturCart may notify you if substantial changes have been made to your customer account (e.g., address data or email address) so you can verify whether the modification was done legitimately or by an unauthorized third party.
Some suggestions on how to keep your account safe include the following:
- Use safe passwords and PIN numbers to protect your customer account and PC, laptop, or mobile device.
- Always log in from a safe device.
- If you use a public computer, log out after visiting KulturCart.
- Make sure you only use your passwords for one account! Use multiple passwords for various providers or sites. Verify whether you're using KulturCart's password elsewhere. If so, immediately change all passwords. Remember, only you should know the passwords.
- Avoid using common terms, your name, or family names. Combining upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and special characters makes the password more safe.
- Caution against spam, phishing, and impersonating emails:
Regrettably, KulturCart could be misused in this scam as the bogus sender. What this amounts to in practice is fraudulent KulturCart emails being sent to customers. These emails frequently mimic the look of the KulturCart brand and may look like they came from the legitimate KulturCart service.
Scammers could aim to take advantage of people's goodwill toward KulturCart in order to steal personal information (such as login credentials, and customer information) or to infect their devices with viruses and Trojan horses.
Even though our name may appear as the sender, these emails are neither developed nor delivered by KulturCart. While KulturCart would like to stop these illicit emails from being sent, sometimes they are beyond their control.
Here are a few telltale signs that an email came from KulturCart:
- You will only get confirmations and invoices from KulturCart for orders that you have really placed.
- We will never contact you through email to request personal information or ask you to confirm personal data via a link in an email.
- KulturCart will only send emails including attachments if you have asked for them (e.g operating instructions).
- All KulturCart emails are proofread before being sent, so you can be certain that they will be error-free in spelling and grammar.
Here's how to deal with spam, phishing, and spoofing emails:
- Delete any emails that look suspect right away.
- Do not click on links or download attachments from unknown senders, and under any circumstances give out sensitive information.
- If your device or KulturCart password was compromised due to clicking on links in an email, go to My Account right away to update it. If you haven't already, please scan your computer for viruses as well.
- Check the My Account section of the website if the email claims to be from a trusted source or contains any odd information regarding orders or your customers. You'll be able to see a complete record of every order you've ever placed, along with its current status and the invoice numbers associated with it. In order to achieve this, you will need to manually input www.kulturcart.de into your browser's URL bar. This will protect you in the case that the email contains a link to a malicious website.
- Allow us to help you out: Get in touch with us as soon as possible if you have any questions or doubts.

4.1 Consent to the use of individual online services / the collection of tracking data/revocation
4.1.1 Consent for meta retargeting (website custom audience and conversions)
When you use our website or app, cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies are employed to gather information about your browsing activity, such as items viewed. This information is jointly collected by KulturCart and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited.
Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law ( https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active ).
To enable tracking, a pixel from Meta Platforms Ireland Limited is integrated into our website, known as the website custom audience pixel. When you use our app, the device ID of your end device is transmitted to Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, along with any meta information related to your recent orders (conversions). In addition, your email address stored in the customer account may be transmitted to Meta as a hash value, but only if you are logged in and have given your consent through the banner solution on our website or app.
Meta Platforms Ireland Limited may use this information to personalize advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. Specifically, based on your browsing behavior on our website or app, interest-related advertisements may be displayed to you on these platforms (known as retargeting).
Meta Platforms Ireland Limited may also combine the information collected via the pixel with other data they have collected about you, such as your social media account information, to create a profile for advertising purposes. It is important to note that Meta Platforms Ireland Limited is solely responsible for the permanent storage and further processing of the tracking data collected via the website's custom audience pixel.
However, we must disclose that Meta Platforms Ireland Limited stores data about you in the USA, which the European Court of Justice has deemed a country with an insufficient level of data protection. This means that there is a particular risk that your data may be processed by American institutions/authorities or other regions for control and monitoring purposes without sufficient legal redress.
To learn more about data protection at Meta Platforms Ireland Limited and to exercise your rights as a data subject, such as the right to erasure, please visit their privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. You can find specific information and details about the Facebook pixel and how it works in the Facebook help area: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.
You reserve the right to contest the gathering of information by the Facebook pixel and the utilization of your data for the purpose of presenting Facebook advertisements. To customize the categories of ads shown to you on Facebook, kindly access the designated Facebook page and adhere to the guidelines provided for configuring interest-based advertising at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.

The transmission takes place directly from the browser to the Google servers, the data is not previously transmitted to KulturCart.
The processing of personal data when using the map view with Google Maps is also subject to the Google Maps Terms of Use. The privacy policy of Google also applies.
You can revoke your consent to data transmission to Google in the context of the map view of local offers on kulturcart.de here.
