Cookies
Some of our Internet pages use cookies. Cookies cause no damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies serve to make our services more user-friendly and to increase their effectiveness and safety. Cookies are small text files which are placed on your computer and stored by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies”. At the end of your visit they are deleted automatically. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal until you delete them. These cookies enable us to identify your browser when you visit us again. You can set your browser to prompt you whenever a cookie is placed for you to permit the placement of cookies from case to case, to reject the placement of cookies in certain cases or generally, or to activate the automatic deletion of cookies each time the browser is closed. The de-activation of cookies may result in limited functionality of this website.
Cookies necessary for the electronic communication process or for the availability of certain desirable func-tions (e.g. the shopping cart function) are stored in compliance with Art. 5 Paragraph 1 (f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically correct and opti-mized provision of its services. In so far as other cookies (e.g. cookies analyzing your browsing history) are stored, such cookies are dealt with separately in this privacy statement.

5. Analysis tools and advertising
Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics provided by Google Inc., 1600 Am-phitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses cookies, i.e. text files which are stored on your computer and facilitate the analysis of the way in which you use this website. As a rule, the information produced by the cookie about your use of this website is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The storage of Google Analytics cookies is done on the basis on Art. 6 Paragraph 1(a) of the GDPR in con-junction with Art. 7 of the GDPR through your consent to the analysis of your usage patterns, aiming to optimize both our web services and our advertising.
IP Anonymisation
On this website we have enabled the IP anonymization function, meaning that within EU member states or in other states which are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area Google will shorten your IP address prior to transferring it to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be trans-ferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On this website operator’s request, Google will use such information to analyze your use of this website in order to compile reports on website activities and to provide to the website operator other services relating to the use of the website and the Internet. The IP address transferred by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data.

Please note, however, that as a result you may not be able to use all of the functions of this website to their full extent. Moreover, you can prevent the collection and processing by Google of the data produced by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin availa-ble at the following link:

6. Newsletter
Inxmail
We use Inxmail technologies to distribute email newsletters automatically. These can be ordered on the web-site or on a newsletter card made available at events. As you subscribe for our newsletter, we collect personal data, e.g. your name and email address. We use such data exclusively for mailing the requested information and will not pass them on to third parties.
Purpose and content of the newsletter
We mail electronic newsletters (“newsletters” below) with advertising information to users who have explicitly consented by subscribing to the newsletter and confirming their email address. If the content of the newslet-ter is described in concrete terms in the context of subscription, this is decisive for the user’s consent to the receipt of the newsletter. Otherwise, our newsletters contain information on new products, background information on BIO PLANÈTE, recipes and DIY ideas, raffles, vouchers and a lot more!
Subscription logging
Subscription to the newsletter is not complete without successful confirmation of the email address by the recipient. For this purpose the recipient will receive a double-opt-in mail with a confirmation link after sending the newsletter subscription form or filling the newsletter card/form. Only by activating the confir-mation link is the subscription to the newsletter completed.
The date and time at which the confirmation link is activated, the activating user’s IP address and the recipi-ent’s email address are stored in a log file as proof of the valid consent to the receipt of the newsletter.
User’s subscription data
The user’s email address is sufficient for subscription to the newsletter. Voluntary information such as salu-tation, first name and surname is used exclusively to personalize the newsletter. When subscribing to the Inxmail newsletter, the user explicitly consents to the collection, storage and processing of the data entered for the mailing of the newsletter. Data entered into the newsletter subscription form are processed exclusive-ly on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Paragraph 1(a) of the GDPR).
Information on the analysis of usage patterns
All our newsletters use anonymized tracking, meaning that the recipient’s responses (opening of a mailing, clicking on text and image links, downloading of pictures using an email program) are registered and stored in anonymized form for statistical purposes. Tracking stored data back to individual users is not possible without their explicit consent. If you have given your consent to the receipt of a newsletter that is tailored to your interests and to the use of personalized user profiles, we will use in particular your email address and your name for newsletter mailing.
Subject to your consent we record your use patterns on the websites and newsletters linked to www.bioplanete.com. Analysis of user behavior includes in particular in which sections of those websites or newsletters you browse and which links you activate there. In the process, personalized usage profiles at-tributed to your person and/or your email address are created to better tailor our advertising activities, in particular in the form of newsletters and print advertising, to your personal interests and to improve our web services.
You may at any time revoke your consent to the receipt of the newsletter or to the creation of personalized user profiles for the future, e.g. by unsubscribing from our newsletter on our website. The Unsubscribe link is found at the end of every newsletter. Revocation results in the deletion of the user data collected.
Cancellation/revocation
Users may cancel the newsletter at any time and thereby revoke their consent to the receipt of the newsletter. With that, any consent that may have been given to personalized tracking in the newsletter expires as well.
Users can also revoke their consent to the storage and processing of personal user responses without effect on their consent to receipt of the newsletter. To unsubscribe from the newsletter or to revoke one’s consent to the storage and processing of personal user responses it is sufficient to send an email to newslet-ter@bioplanete.com.
Moreover, users can cancel the newsletter or revoke their consent to the storage and processing of personal user responses themselves by activating the Unsubscribe link or Objection link contained in every newsletter.
7. Plugins and tools
YouTube
Our website uses plugins of YouTube, a website operated by Google. The site operator is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.
When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube server will be established and the YouTube server will be informed which of our pages you have visited.
If you are logged in to your YouTube account you enable YouTube to attribute your browsing pattern di-rectly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
The use of YouTube serves the attractive presentation of our online services. This is a legitimate interest as defined in Art. 6 Paragraph 1(f) of the GDPR.
For more information about the handling of user data, please see the YouTube privacy statement at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy
8. Liability
Liability for content
The content of our pages was prepared with the utmost care. However, we do not assume liability for the correctness, completeness and topicality of such content. Pursuant to Section 7 Sub-section 1 of the TMG (German teleservices act) we are responsible for our own content on these pages under general law. Pursuant to Sections 8 to 10 of the TMG, however, we as service providers are under no obligation to supervise transferred or stored third-party information or to search for circumstances indicating illegal activities. This is without prejudice to obligations to remove, or block the use of, information under general law. Liability in that respect is only possible from the time a concrete violation of law became known to us. As soon as we become aware of any relevant violation of the law we will of course remove such content immedi-ately.
Liability for links
Our pages include links to external third-party websites the content of which is beyond our influence. Therefore we do not assume any liability for such third-party content. The content of linked pages is always the responsibility of the provider or operator of such pages. The linked pages have been checked for possi-ble violations of law at the time when the link was established. No illegal content was recognizable at the time of linking. Permanent control of the content of linked pages, however, is unreasonable unless concrete in-dications of a violation of law exist. If we become aware of any violations of law we will of course remove such links immediately.
