The processing of your personal data is based on a legal ground provided for by law, namely either your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR, or our legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR, or the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures entered into with you in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR, or Westwing's legal obligation in accordance with Article 6 (1) (c) of the GDPR.
VI. RECIPIENTS OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Westwing is always the data controller of your personal data collected on our website, app or social media accounts.
Your personal data will only be transferred to third parties in the following cases, in accordance with the legal basis applicable to each situation:
Where the transfer of personal data is necessary for the performance or execution of your contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR); this includes, for example, transferring data to payment and logistics service providers or suppliers if they supply products directly to you); or
where the transfer is necessary to comply with a legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR); for example, to transfer data to public authorities or law enforcement agencies in order to comply with our legal obligations to disclose information, make enquiries or submit claims); or
based on a legitimate interest of ours or a third party which is considered to outweigh your interests and rights (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR); this may include, for example, the transfer of data in the context of transfers of claims or for administrative purposes within a group of companies); or
if we use external service providers, so-called processors, who are obliged to process your data with due care and who act solely on our instructions and instructions (Article 28 GDPR; for example, service providers who provide the technical infrastructure).

VIII. ERASURE OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Unless otherwise required by legal retention periods (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law), we will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it is processed or until you notify us that your personal data needs to be deleted.

We delete accounts of customers who have not actively used their account for more than six years.
The log data that we collect for network security and abuse prevention purposes when you visit our website is generally kept for 20 days. In individual cases, if longer retention is necessary to investigate potential cyber-attacks, fraud or abuse, data may be retained for up to 180 days. After this period, your data will be deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you as an individual.

We want to make your visit to our website as pleasant as possible by using the "Stay logged in" feature. This feature allows you to use our services without having to log in every time.

We use Zendesk to process your queries quickly and efficiently. As a reminder, you can also submit your query by simply entering your email address, not your name.
We have an order processing agreement with Zendesk. This is an agreement to ensure that your personal data is processed only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR and other applicable laws.
Your information may be transferred to and stored on Zendesk servers located in the United States. The legal basis for this is the so-called Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs), which have been approved by the Irish Data Protection Authority. These are Binding Corporate Rules which authorise the internal transfer of data to third countries outside the EU and EEA. More information is available here: https://www.zendesk.com/blog/update-privacy-shield-invalidation-european-court-justice/?_gl=1*qciq0l*_ga*NTQ3MjM1ODMzLjE3NDY3ODg5MjU.*_ga_FBP7C61M6Z*czE3NDY3ODg5MjQkbzEkZzAkdDE3NDY3ODg5MzAkajU4JGwwJGgw*_gcl_au*MTMxODc1ODUyNy4xNzQ2Nzg4OTI4.

6. PROCESSING OF DATA FOR ADVERTISING PURPOSES
6.1. SENDING PROMOTIONAL E-MAILS
If you have given your consent, Westwing will send you a regular Westwing newsletter by email, informing you about the latest trends in Home & Living, Home & Living styles, highlights of Westwing online and retail stores, special offers or "Sale of the Day" and "Sale of the Week" ("Newsletter"). For details, see section 6.1.1.
Depending on your consent, you may also receive email notifications from us about personalized benefits - such as coupons or special offers - reminders about products in your shopping cart, reviews of Westwing products you have purchased, and surveys about Westwing or Westwing services ("Notifications"). You can also find more information about this in Section 6.1.1.
If you have already purchased a product or service from us and have not objected to receiving it, you will also receive promotional emails from us about similar products and/or services. For more information, see section 6.1.2.
6.1.1. SENDING PROMOTIONAL EMAILS BASED ON YOUR CONSENT
If you have given your consent on our website by ticking the checkbox, we will send you newsletters and/or notifications by email.
Please note, however, that we will only send you newsletters and/or notifications by e-mail if you have previously expressly confirmed to us by clicking on the button that you wish to receive such e-mails. We will send you the relevant button in the notification e-mail after receiving your consent to the e-mail address you have provided (the so-called "double opt-in procedure"). This is to prevent abuse by third parties who could use your email address to register you for the Westwing newsletter or Westwing notifications without your consent. The legal basis for the double opt-in procedure is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, as we have a primary legitimate interest in preventing such misuse and documenting your consent.
The appropriate legal basis under data protection law for the processing of your personal data in connection with the sending of the above promotional emails is your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
You can withdraw your consent at any time for the future by:
Click on the unsubscribe link at the end of our promotional emails and you will be redirected (depending on whether you wish to unsubscribe from the newsletter or email notification) to the newsletter or notification management section of your account (collectively "Promotional Email Management"). There, you can simply uncheck the box for the newsletters or notifications you no longer wish to receive.
Alternatively, you can log in to your account and click on the "My Newsletters" or "Notifications" tab (depending on the type of emails you wish to unsubscribe from) and will then unsubscribe you from those newsletters or notifications you no longer wish to receive by unchecking the corresponding box in the Newsletter Management or Notifications Management section above.
You can also withdraw your consent to receive newsletters and/or notifications and unsubscribe from receiving these promotional emails by sending an email to service@westwing.fi.
Through our above mentioned promotional email management, you can indicate and withdraw your consent to receive our newsletters and/or notifications in a differentiated manner. By ticking or un-ticking the box, you can decide individually whether, when or how often you wish to receive a newsletter or notification by e-mail, depending on which newsletter you are interested in or which notification you find useful and how often you wish to receive that newsletter or notification(s).
Please note that we use standard marketing techniques in our promotional emails to measure the opening of emails and/or the use of links you click on. We use this information for general statistical analysis and to optimise and further develop our content and customer communications. This is done by means of small graphics embedded in the newsletter (so-called pixels). The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in optimising and further developing our content and customer communications (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). If you do not want this analysis of your usage behaviour, you can at any time unsubscribe from receiving promotional emails or deactivate graphics by default in your email client.
Our newsletters and notices are sent via our mailing service provider Mapp Digital Germany GmbH, Dachauer Straße 63, 80335 Munich, Germany, ("Mapp"). A data processing agreement has been concluded with Mapp in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR. For more information, please see Mapp's Privacy Policy: https://mapp.com/privacy/.
6.1.2. EMAILS ADVERTISING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES THAT MAY BE OF INTEREST TO YOU BASED ON YOUR PAST PURCHASING BEHAVIOUR.
If you have provided your email address when purchasing a product or service from our online store, we will send you offers and information about our range of products and services that may be of interest to you because you have already purchased similar products and services from Westwing. We will also send you product evaluation and feedback surveys asking you about your satisfaction with the products you have purchased or services you have used (e.g. our customer service). However, such promotional emails will only be sent if you have not opted out of receiving them - notwithstanding our notice to that effect below the purchase button.
The appropriate legal ground for processing your personal data under data protection law is our legitimate interest under Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR and national fair competition law.
You can also opt-out of receiving these promotional emails at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the end of our promotional emails. Alternatively, you can log in to your customer account and unsubscribe via the management of promotional emails (see section 6.1.1.). You can also subsequently opt-out of receiving these promotional emails by sending an email to service@westwing.fi.
6.2. SENDING A NEWSLETTER VIA WHATSAPP
We also offer you the possibility to receive our newsletter via WhatsApp. To send the newsletter via WhatsApp, we use the WhatsApp Business app.
For this purpose, we cooperate with our data processors Charles GmbH, Gartenstraße 86-87, 10115 Berlin, Germany, and Braze, Inc, 318 West 39th Street, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10018, USA ("Braze").
Your use of WhatsApp is subject to the Privacy Policy of WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. It states that every WhatsApp message is encrypted end-to-end and thus protected from access by third parties.
The legal basis for the processing of your data by Westwing is Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR, as you have given your consent on our website and confirmed via your WhatsApp message that you wish to receive newsletters through this channel, i.e. news about new products and interior design trends. You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by sending the message "Stop".
Westwing is committed to the WhatsApp Business Privacy Policy, which can be found here: https://business.whatsapp.com/privacy-protections https://business.whatsap.com/privacy-protections .
7. PROCESSING OF DATA FOR COMMUNICATION ON OUR WEBSITE AND THROUGH OUR APP.
We also use the service provider Braze to communicate with you on our website and app. For this purpose, for example, we will show you so-called "overlay layouts" with the possibility of interaction.
Braze is also used to send push notifications in our app.
Braze processes, among others, the following personal data for this purpose: your IP address, device-related data such as device type, model, operating system, browser type and version, usage-related data such as usage time, name, email address, interaction data with Braze SDK and messages, installation ID, device ID.
The legal basis for processing your personal data is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time for the future. The easiest way to withdraw your consent is through the Cookie Consent Manager.

If you participate in a competition, we will only process the data necessary for the organisation of the competition (Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR). Please refer to the data protection information in the terms and conditions of the relevant competition.
9. PROCESSING OF DATA WHEN USING FAN PAGES ON SOCIAL NETWORKS
Westwing is active and present on social media and social platforms to communicate with interested parties and users and to inform them about other Westwing offers. Below we provide you with an overview of the processing and use of your personal data by us or on the social media platforms listed below:
9.1. FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM
We use social media "fan pages" on Facebook and Instagram in partnership with Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland) to communicate with our fans (including our customers and stakeholders) and inform them about our products, competitions and other promotions.
You can read the agreement with Meta here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum (in English)
Statistics about the use of our Facebook Fan Pages (e.g., information about the number of Fan Pages, names, interactions such as "likes" and comments, and aggregate demographic and other information or statistics; "Insights Data") help us learn about how our Fan Pages are used, what interests our Fan Page visitors have, and which topics and content are particularly popular, so that we can optimize and tailor the content on our Fan Pages for our users. Insights data contains only statistical and non-personal information about fansite visitors and cannot be linked to a specific individual. You can find out more about the type and scope of these statistics in the Facebook page statistics. You can find more information about Facebook's responsibilities and data processing in the so-called "Data Supplement on Facebook Pages" at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data .
Please note that we have no control over the processing of data carried out by Facebook under its own responsibility in accordance with the Meta Terms of Use. However, we would like to point out that when you visit the "Fan Pages", Facebook and the "Fan Pages" transfer information about your usage behaviour to Meta.
Meta processes your personal data to compile the above-mentioned statistics and for its own market research and advertising purposes. We do not have access to this data.
To the extent that we receive your personal data when we administer the fan pages, you have the rights set out in this Privacy Policy. If you wish to exercise your rights against Meta beyond this, you can also contact Facebook directly. We will be happy to help you exercise your rights where possible and direct your questions to Meta.
The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest mentioned above to provide you with our Facebook Like Pages for marketing and promotional purposes.
For more information on this, please see Meta's privacy policy at: https://fi-fi.facebook.com/privacy/policy/?entry_point=data_policy_redirect&entry=0 .
9.2. YOUTUBE
On YouTube.com, we use so-called plug-ins to embed our own videos and make them available to the public. YouTube is a service provided by a third party not affiliated with us, namely YouTube LLC, operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").
When you use our YouTube channel, your browser connects to YouTube and sends information. The integration of YouTube content only takes place in a so-called "extended privacy mode". This is provided by YouTube itself and ensures, to the best of its knowledge, that YouTube's user data (e.g. cookies) are only stored on your device when videos are played. When you access these videos, your IP address, unique identifiers, browser type and settings, device type and settings, operating system, mobile network information such as mobile network provider name and phone number, and app version number are transmitted to YouTube. YouTube also collects information about the interaction of its applications, browsers and devices with its own services. Extended privacy does not necessarily preclude the transfer of data to YouTube's partners. YouTube connects to the Google DoubleClick network whether you watch the video or not. The information transferred includes your IP address, crash reports, system activity, and the date, time and URL of the sender of your request. YouTube also collects information about your activities (e.g. search terms, videos you watch, etc.). YouTube processes all information collected about you through our YouTube channel. According to YouTube, this information is used, among other things, to compile video statistics, improve user experience and prevent abuse. YouTube also uses cookies to collect information about user behaviour. The storage of these cookies can be prevented through appropriate browser settings and extensions. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to map your browsing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account before activating the play button.
In addition, we sometimes integrate videos stored on YouTube directly into our website through so-called "plug-ins". This integration allows content from the YouTube site to be displayed in parts of the browser window. However, YouTube videos can only be accessed by clicking on them individually. This technique is also called "framing". If you go to a (sub)page on our website where YouTube videos are embedded in this way, the YouTube servers are connected and the content is displayed on the website by notifying your browser. We have no control over the scope and content of the information that is sent to YouTube and possibly other YouTube partners by activating the add-on. YouTube's server is informed, among other things, which of our pages you have visited.
The legal basis for processing your data is your consent, Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. This means that we will not use this service unless you have given your consent to its use. You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect, most easily via the cookies consent management.
For more information about what information YouTube receives and how it is used, please see YouTube's Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy .
9.3. TIKTOK
We publish short video clips on the TikTok platform and TikTok app to promote our products and sales. If you visit the TikTok website or app, TikTok Inc, 10100 Venice Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232, USA ("TikTok") collects and processes your personal information.
TikTok makes a certain amount of this information available to TikTok profile owners in an anonymised and aggregated form. This includes the number of new followers, demographic information such as gender and country, without reference to identifiable individuals. Thus, Westwing cannot identify any visitor to a TikTok profile. As the owner of the profile, Westwing receives anonymised statistical data from TikTok (so-called "Insights data"). This data does not allow conclusions to be drawn about the visitor in question. We use the statistical data solely to analyse user behaviour in order to better tailor our TikTok profile and offerings to the needs and interests of our visitors.
The use of your data provided to us by TikTok is based on our legitimate interest under Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR to perform data analysis and statistics on the use of our TikTok profile, to optimize our offer to you, to market our publications and videos on our website, and to continuously improve and manage our offerings and products.
For more information about TikTok's processing of data, please see TikTok's Privacy Policy at: https://www.tiktok.com/legal/page/eea/privacy-policy/fi .
9.4. PINTEREST
We manage the Westwing account on Pinterest and the Pinterest app, where we post home and living inspiration and promote our products. Pinterest Inc, 808 Brannan Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA ("Pinterest") is responsible for Pinterest.
When you register an account, Pinterest processes the information you provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, photos, pins and comments. In addition, Pinterest collects and processes your IP address, which is used to estimate your location if you choose to share your exact location, and other internet and web activity (including pins you click, boards you create, and your comment or description text).
The legal basis for this processing is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in providing you with our Pinterest board for marketing and advertising purposes.
For more information, see https://policy.pinterest.com/fi/privacy-policy
10. DATA PROCESSING BY SHOPIFY
In order to provide our online store and process your payments, we work with Shopify International Limited, Victoria Buildings 1-2, Haddington Road, Dublin 4, D04 XN32, Ireland ("Shopify"). Shopify allows us to operate our online store through Shopify's cloud infrastructure and also processes payments on our behalf.
Your information may be transferred to Shopify servers in the United States and stored there. The legal basis for this is the European Commission's adequacy decision of 10 July 2023 (the so-called EU-U.S. Data Protection Framework), which is based on Article 45 of the GDPR. If the adequacy decision is not applicable, the EU standard contractual clauses (Article 46 GDPR) will be used for the transfer of data.
Shopify is used to serve our online store and process payments. The legal basis is therefore either our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or the performance of your contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). Shopify acts as data processor or data controller depending on the processing operation.

X. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
We use so-called cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons, pixels and tags) on our website. Web beacons are small GIF files that can be hidden in other graphics, emails or the like. Web beacons can identify your computer and assess your user behaviour, for example your reactions to advertising campaigns. The information collected by web beacons cannot be used to identify you. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from an Internet server to your browser and stored on your hard drive. There are so-called session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and so-called persistent cookies, which are stored on your terminal for a longer period or indefinitely. A cookie contains a distinctive string of characters that uniquely identifies your browser when you return to a website. This helps us to adapt our offerings, make them more user-friendly, efficient and secure, and to enable us to provide certain features.
The Cookie settings button allows you to specify at any time which cookies you want to allow. Essential cookies, which ensure the essential functionality of the website, are excluded.
In principle, we distinguish between four different categories of cookies:
1. THE COOKIES THAT ARE STRICTLY NECESSARY
These cookies enable basic functions and are necessary for the proper functioning of the website. They are used, for example, to process orders or to ensure that you, as a registered user, can always remain logged in when using the various sub-pages of our website. In addition, these cookies mean that you do not have to re-enter your login details each time you go to a new page.
The legal basis for the use of strictly necessary cookies on our website is to satisfy our legitimate interest in providing a technically accurate and user-friendly website (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). The use of strictly necessary cookies is possible and legally permitted without your prior consent.
3. PERFORMANCE COOKIES
Performance cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so that we can measure and improve the performance of our website. The information collected by cookies allows us to understand, among other things, which areas are the most popular, which are the least popular and how visitors move around our website. All information collected by cookies is aggregated and cannot be easily linked to you.
The processing is based on your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time for the future, most easily through the cookie consent management.
4. MARKETING CLAIMS AND RELATED TECHNOLOGIES
Through marketing interventions and similar technologies (e.g. "pixels"), we can show you personalised and therefore relevant advertising content and measure the effectiveness of our advertising efforts.
Marketing cookies and similar technologies are not only placed on our website, but also on the websites of other (advertising) partners ("third party cookies"). This so-called "retargeting" is used to place relevant advertising on other websites and to analyse the target groups for products and services.
The processing is based on your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time for the future, most easily through the consent management. If you do not allow these cookies, you will be shown less relevant advertising.

5.3. PERFORMANCE BENCHMARKS
5.3.1. GOOGLE ANALYTICS AND CONVERSION TRACKING
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google that, among other things, installs pixels and performance cookies to store information on your end device.
This allows us to determine data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices using a pseudonymous username to analyse your usage patterns across devices and to improve our website and make it more interesting for you. For this purpose, we also receive statistics from Google about your use of our website.
Google Analytics 4 also uses artificial intelligence to automatically analyse and enrich data. This is primarily used to generate predictions about the future behaviour of website visitors based on structured event data (e.g. sales prediction, likelihood to buy, likelihood to cancel). These predictive values can also be used to predict target audiences. For more information see: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9846734?hl=fi
Google Analytics 4 will also model conversions if there is not enough data available to optimise data analysis. For more information, please visit: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/10710245?hl=fi.
Google Analytics 4 does not record or store individual IP addresses. However, Google Analytics 4 does provide approximate geographic location information by deriving the following metadata from IP addresses: city (and derived latitude and longitude of the city), continent, country, region, subcontinent (and ID-based equivalents). For EU traffic, IP address information is used exclusively to determine geographic location, after which it is immediately deleted. The data is not logged, is not accessible and is not used for any other purpose.
This data may be transferred to Google servers in the United States and stored there. The legal basis is the adequacy decision of the European Commission of 10 July 2023 (the so-called EU-U.S. data protection framework) pursuant to Article 45 GDPR or on the basis of your consent pursuant to Article 49 (1) (a) GDPR. As IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened before it is sent to the United States or EU Member States or EEA Contracting States. Only in exceptional cases will your full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. The IP address sent by your browser in connection with Google Analytics will not be combined with other Google data.
The legal basis for processing your data is your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR. This means that we will not use this service unless you have given your consent to the use of Google Analytics through conversion tracking. You can withdraw your consent at any time for the future, most easily via the cookies consent manager.
You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing your data (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser add-on available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=fi . An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent the collection of your data in the future when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only on our website and is stored on your device. If you delete cookies from this browser, you will need to reinstall the opt-out cookie.

On our Website, we use Facebook Custom Audiences with the so-called pixel function ("Meta Pixel") and the Server-Side Conversion API, which for visitors located outside the United States and Canada is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta").
This allows us to show you interest-based advertising when you visit Facebook and Instagram social networks or other Meta apps and websites, and to track the effectiveness of our advertising. With meta pixels embedded on our websites, your browser automatically connects to Meta's servers for extended synchronization of the embedded meta pixel. This provides Meta with information such as whether you have clicked on a particular advertisement or product on our website, which in turn allows us to show you interest-based advertisements on our website or other websites.
If you are registered with the Meta Service, Meta can link your website visit to your account, as we transmit your personal data in the form of email and IP address to the Meta Service via pixel and partially supplemented with existing tracking data. Your country of location is also transmitted. Even if you are not registered on Facebook or Instagram or are not logged in, Meta can obtain your personal data mentioned above and use it to create a profile.
Such data may be transferred to Meta's servers in the United States and stored there. The legal basis is the adequacy decision of the European Commission of 10 July 2023 (the so-called EU-U.S. Data Protection Framework) pursuant to Article 45 GDPR or your consent pursuant to Article 49 (1) (a) GDPR.
The legal basis for processing your data is your consent, Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. This means that we will not use these services unless you have given your consent to the use of personalised audiences or Facebook pixels. You can withdraw your consent at any time for the future in the simplest way via our consent management. If you are logged in to your Facebook account, you can also object to the processing of your data via the following link: https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences/ad_settings/?entry_product=account_settings_menu (in English).

This ensures that the content of our ad is very likely to match the interests of that user. We can also track the behaviour of Pinterest users who have clicked on one of our ads. To do this, Pinterest processes information that it collects through cookies, web beacons and similar storage technologies on our websites.
When using the Service, the following information is processed: device information (e.g. type, brand), operating system used (e.g. iOS 11), IP address of the device used, the duration of our offer, the type and content of the promotion and the reaction to that promotion (e.g. button click), and device identifiers consisting of unique characteristics of your terminal device. We may also use these device identifiers to identify your device on the website. The information collected in this way is anonymous to us and cannot be used to infer your identity.
