Data Privacy Policy

GERRY WEBER Finland Oy (hereinafter referred to as GERRY WEBER) is pleased that you have chosen to visit our retail store or our website https://gerryweber.fi (hereinafter Website) and are interested in our company. The protection of your personal data is important to us. We respect your privacy and therefore feel obliged to protect your data. GERRY WEBER makes this data privacy policy statement to inform you of our data protection regulations and measures. In addition, you can learn how to determine in what form your information is recorded online and for what purpose it is used. You can access this policy easily from our homepage https://gerryweber.fi/en/legal/dataprivacy

Which data is recorded and processed?

This data privacy policy extends to personal data and non-personal data, as well as reports collected for statistical analyses.

Personal data

Personal data is one or more particulars about personal or material relationships relating to you as a private person, such as name, address, phone number or an online identifier. GERRY WEBER uses personal data so that we can take your interests and requirements into consideration and are able to offer you a better service. If you share personal data with us, you can rely on this data being used exclusively to optimize GERRY WEBER’s personal customer services. We value the trust that is placed in us. GERRY WEBER will not sell or lease your personal data for marketing purposes.

At our GERRY WEBER retail stores you can sign up for marketing or supporting documentation by using the “my fashion” customer club, in particular to receive newsletters, special offers, discounts or take advantage of our bonus system. You could, for example, be asked for the following personal data: first name, last name, address, telephone/ mobile number, Email address, date of birth, select your local store, user names and passwords, which will be stored and processed, as well as your IP-address as you visit this Website. By sending an Email, you can request information regarding your personal data, if needed.

Non-personal data

Non-personal data is data on website use and service operation that cannot be attributed to any particular personal identity. GERRY WEBER records and analyses non-personal data in order to analyze the use of the websites by visitors.

Non-personal data can include pages, for example, that are visited on the GERRY WEBER websites, unambiguous URLs, which are accessed from within the websites, browser type or monitor resolution or date and time of your visit. Most non-personal data is collected using cookies or other analysis technologies. The GERRY WEBER websites use cookies, web beacons and other technologies for data analysis and personalization services in relation to the integrated components of Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

Cookies

A “cookie” is a small data file that is transferred from a website to the hard disk of your computer. GERRY WEBER sends cookies if you surf our website, request or personalize information, or register for particular services. If you accept cookies on our website, we have no access to your personal information but with the help of cookies we can identify your computer. Cookies are generally divided into “session” and “permanent” cookies.

“Session” cookies do not remain on your computer when you leave our website or close your browser. With the help of collected information, we can analyze usage patterns and structures on our website. In this way, we can continue to optimize our website, by improving the content or personalization, and make it easier to use.

“Permanent” cookies are cookies that remain on your computer. They are used to facilitate shopping, personalization and registration services. Cookies can, for example, hold on to your selected purchases while you continue to shop. In addition, you only need to enter your password once on websites that require you to sign in. “Permanent” cookies can be removed by the user manually.

Most browsers accept cookies by default. Nevertheless, you can usually decline cookies or accept certain cookies selectively through your browser settings. If you deactivate cookies, in some circumstances certain features are no longer available to you on our website, and it is possible that some web pages will not display properly.

Web beacons

Some GERRY WEBER websites and email newsletters in HTML format use web beacons in conjunction with cookies to produce total statistics on website use. A web beacon is an invisible electronic image, which is also called a 1x1 GIF or a clear GIF. Web beacons can recognize certain information types on the visitor’s computer: the visitor’s cookie number, for example, the time and date the website is visited as well as a description of the website where the web beacon is. You can make some web beacons unusable by refusing to accept the cookies linked to them.

Third-party media companies

In some circumstances, GERRY WEBER uses third-party media companies to place advertising for GERRY WEBER products and services on the websites of other companies. If you have visited a website on which GERRY WEBER advertisements appear, the online media company concerned may place a cookie or a web beacon on your computer. In this way, the online media company can recognize the computer if it revisits the website or it can ascertain how advertising campaigns are received by users. This data is anonymous and is not linked to personal data on the user’s computer or to the GERRY WEBER database. Some GERRY WEBER newsletters that are prepared by online media companies on behalf of GERRY WEBER use the same technology. In both cases, this data is also used by the online media company to ascertain user interest as well as the impact of advertising and content. GERRY WEBER has no access to data that is collected by the online media company. To avoid online media companies placing cookies on your computer, you must visit the websites of the individual media companies and remove the cookies according to instructions or set the appropriate cookie filter in your browser.

GERRY WEBER uses third-party technologies in order to present its customers individualized offers on other websites at a later point in time. For this purpose, fully anonymized data is collected for observed categories and products. This is carried out by placing cookies. At no point within this process is the personal data of customers shared with third parties. Neither the technology providers nor GERRY WEBER itself want or are able to make a link to your person, personal information or your place of residence. Neither can any connection be made to the information you have given during your registration. The data collected is used exclusively to optimize advertising initiatives in the form of advertising banners. On each of these advertising banners, there is an “i” symbol, through which customers can opt out from this technology and obtain further information on the technology used.

  • application and use of Facebook

On this website, the controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook. Facebook is a social network.

A “social network" is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows social network users to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos, rate contents with a “Like” button, leave a comment and network through friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States. If a user lives outside of the United States or Canada, the controller is the Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) was integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook through the Facebook component.

An overview of all the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what specific sub-site of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific sub-site of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g. the "Like" button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about a visit to our website by the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook during the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook account before a call-up to our website is made.

The data protection guideline published by Facebook is available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/

  • Data protection provisions about the application and use of Instagram

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet website, which is operated by the controller and into which an Instagram component was integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download display of the corresponding Instagram component from Instagram through the Instagram component.

An overview of the Instagram cookies may be accessed under https://help.instagram.com/1896641480634370?ref=ig. During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what specific sub-site of our website was visited by the data subject.

This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g. the "Like" button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about a visit to our website by the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook during the time of the call-up to our website.

The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, UNITED STATES. The YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component. Further information about YouTube may be obtained under https://www.youtube.com/t/terms. During the course of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in on YouTube, YouTube recognizes with each call-up to a sub-page that contains a YouTube video, which specific sub-page of our Internet site was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.

YouTube and Google will receive information through the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website, if the data subject at the time of the call to our website is logged in on YouTube; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on a YouTube video or not. If such a transmission of this information to YouTube and Google is not desirable for the data subject, the delivery may be prevented if the data subject logs off from their own YouTube account before a call-up to our website is made.
