1. General Information

EG is committed to protecting and respecting privacy on all levels. EG has therefore drafted the following Privacy Policy and would like to explain what information is acquired, stored and processed. In this document, we further explain to you how EG uses cookies, plug-ins and analytical tools (if any) on our website. By accepting the following Privacy Policy, you consent to the processing of your data in accordance with the applicable data protection laws and the provisions followed. Please note that we may require consent from your legal guardian if you are under the age of 16. The use of personal data regarding different purposes (e.g., use of website without collecting personal data) is described under point 9 below.

2. Name and Address of the Controller

We, EG, are controller within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other national data protection laws and regulations that determine the purposes and means of processing personal data.

3. Legal Basis of Data Processing

If the legal basis is not specified in the privacy statement, the following applies: The legal basis for the collection and processing of data with your consent is Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 7 GDPR. The legal basis for processing data for the fulfilment of our services and the performance of pre- or contractual measures, as well as replying to enquiries, is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The legal basis for processing data for the fulfilment of our legal obligations is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. If processing the data is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. If we commission third parties to conduct the processing of data based on a “data processing contract”, this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.

4. The erasure and storage of personal data

Your personal data will be erased or blocked as soon as it is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose of storage. Furthermore, personal data may be stored if this is required by regulations, laws or other provisions to which we are subject to. The personal data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract. If we have personal data which is only stored and not deleted due to legal requirements, we will not use it for other purposes.

6. Data Transfer

We treat your personal data with strictest confidence. We never sell personal data to a third party for commercial purposes. However, we might work with service providers who need to have access to your personal data. These service providers are subject to strict confidentiality and may only process the transferred personal data for the purpose of performing the service which we predefine on a contractual basis with them. Wherever possible we anonymize or pseudonymize personal data in advance. Personal data transfer to other recipients than listed in this privacy policy occurs only if required by law (e.g. to authorities).

EG is committed to handling your personal data securely and has undertaken suitable technical and organizational security measures. We protect your data against negative influences (e.g. loss, destruction, modification, publication, etc.). EG constantly reviews existing security policies and controls to ensure best practices are being followed. Our employees receive regular training and are provided with tools and resources to maintain data vigilance and compliance.

8. How your Personal Data is used

We only process your personal data if this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our contents and services. The processing of your personal data is normally only carried out with your prior consent, except those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of your personal data is permitted by law. In the following you can find some specific cases where we process personal data and to which extent:

1. Website.

   When you visit our website we do not collect or store any personal data. Our service provider uses log files and stores access data without personalized information (e.g., IP address (shortened), version of web browser and operating system, the page viewed or time of access). This data is collected and processed for the purpose of enabling the use of our website (establishing a connection) and ensuring system security and stability, as well as technical administration of the network infrastructure. This data does not allow us to identify you. This data is never transferred to third parties unless it is necessary for the improvement or maintenance of our service (e.g., hosting provider). The storage of every access of our server (server log files) is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, as well as our legitimate interests, such as optimizing our services or protection from abuse through unauthorized use. Log file information is stored for a maximum of 7 days for security reasons (e.g. investigation of acts of abuse or fraud) and then automatically deleted.

   The collection of data for the delivery of the website and storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. There is consequently no possibility for the user to object.

2. Webshop.

   On our website, you may purchase items through our webshop. We process personal data in order to provide you with our products or when you contact us. We also use personal information to process purchases and the associated ordering procedures (incl. warranty and services, returns, notification of delivery status and payment processing). To fulfil our contractual obligations and perform our services, we process stored data (contact information such as name, address, email, telephone number and birth date) and contract data (e.g., services purchased, names of contact persons, payment information, order information). If you shop as a guest without setting up a customer account, EG only collects and processes the personal data necessary for the purchase (a purchase history is not created). If contact is established with us (e.g. via email, telephone or social media), the user’s information is processed to handle the contact enquiry and its resolution. The legal basis for the processing of personal data is art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (performance of a contract). The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Consequently, the personal data collected during the shopping / check-out process are erased as soon as it is no longer required for the execution of the contract. Even after conclusion of the contract, it may still be necessary to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to meet contractual or legal obligations. You have the possibility to cancel the registration and to change the data stored about you at any time. If the personal data is necessary to perform a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, an early erasure of the data is only possible if neither contractual nor legal obligations prevent a deletion.

3. NFT Launch Pad

   For participation in the competition, we collect your e-mail-address. We collect, process, use and store the participant data only for the purpose of conducting the competition. The data collected is required for the conduct of the competition, for the notification of the winner and for the processing of the release of the Prize (which is the Organizer’s legitimate interest). The legal basis for the processing is art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Personal data provided by the participant will be deleted once the respective personal data is no longer needed for the above-mentioned purpose. Legal data storage obligations remain reserved. You have the possibility to cancel the participation in the competition and to change the data stored about you at any time.

4. Contact with us

   There is a contact form on our website which can be used for electronic contact. If you take advantage of this possibility, the following data entered in the contact form will be transmitted to us and will be stored: Name, Prename, Email-address and IP address.

Alternatively, you can contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, your personal data transmitted by e-mail will be stored. In this context, the personal data will not be transmitted to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation. The legal basis for the processing of data is art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of personal data transmitted while sending an e-mail is art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The processing of personal data from the contact form and the e-mail sent to us serves only for the treatment of the establishment of contact. The personal data collected while sending an e-mail represents our legitimate interest in processing of personal data. The other personal data processed during the sending process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. You have the possibility to withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data concerning you at any time. If you contact us by e-mail, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time. In this case, the conversation cannot be continued.
