Privacy Policy
Privacy Statement
1. Definitions
The data protection declaration of NOUJOUM STORE is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy statement is intended to be readable and understandable for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To achieve this, we first want to explain the terminology used. In this privacy statement we use, among others, the following terms:
- b) Data subject
The data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller. - c) Processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction. - d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future. - e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of using personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements. - f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person. - g) Controller
The controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law. - h) Processor
The processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller. - i) Recipient
The recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law are not considered recipients. - j) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data. - k) Consent
Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
3. Cookies
The web pages of NOUJOUM STORE use cookies. Cookies are text files stored on a computer via an internet browser. Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain what is known as a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which web pages and servers can be assigned to the specific browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified by the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, NOUJOUM STORE can provide users with services that would not be possible without the cookie setting. Cookies allow us to optimise information and offers for the users of NOUJOUM STORE. Cookies enable us to recognise users of NOUJOUM STORE. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of NOUJOUM STORE who uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data on each visit, because these are stored and retrieved via the cookie. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop, which memorises the items a client has placed in the virtual shopping cart.
The data subject can prevent the installation of cookies at any time by configuring the internet browser used accordingly and thus permanently refuse the installation of cookies. Cookies already stored can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software. This is possible in all common browsers. If the data subject deactivates cookie settings in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
4. Collection of general data and information
The website of NOUJOUM STORE collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or an automated system calls up the website. These general data and information are stored in the server log files. The data collected may include: (1) the types and versions of the browser used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system comes to our website (referrer), (4) the sub‑websites visited, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol (IP) address, (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our IT systems.
When using these general data and information, NOUJOUM STORE does not draw conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is necessary to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimise the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the long‑term viability of our IT systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. Therefore, NOUJOUM STORE analyses the anonymised data statistically in order to increase the data protection and data security of our company and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous server log file data are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Registration on our website
The data subject has the option to register on the controller’s website by providing personal data. The personal data transmitted to the controller are determined by the input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may request the transfer of data to one or more processors (e.g. a parcel service) who also use personal data for internal purposes attributable to the controller.
When registering on the controller’s website, the IP address assigned by the internet service provider and used by the data subject is also stored, as is the date and time of registration. Storing these data is necessary to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable investigations into offences. To the extent possible, storing these data is necessary to secure the controller. These data are not passed on to third parties except in the event of a legal obligation to do so or if the transfer serves criminal prosecution.
Registration by the data subject with the voluntary indication of personal data is intended to enable the controller to provide content or services that can only be offered to registered users due to their nature. Registered persons can change the personal data provided at registration at any time or delete them completely from the controller’s data collection. The controller must, at any time upon request, provide each data subject with information about the personal data stored about them. Furthermore, the controller corrects or deletes personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, unless there are statutory storage obligations. All employees of the controller are available to the data subject for this purpose as contact persons.
6. Subscription to our newsletter
On the website of NOUJOUM STORE, users can subscribe to the company newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines the personal data transmitted as well as the time of the order of the newsletter. NOUJOUM STORE regularly informs its customers and business partners by means of a newsletter about company offers. The newsletter can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e‑mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter.
For legal reasons, a confirmation e‑mail is sent for the first time to the e‑mail address entered by the data subject for the purpose of sending the newsletter, using the double opt‑in procedure. This confirmation e‑mail serves to prove that the owner of the e‑mail address as data subject is authorised to receive the newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the internet service provider and used by the data subject at the time of registration as well as the date and time of registration. Collecting these data is necessary to later review (possible) misuse of the e‑mail address of the data subject and therefore serves the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected in the context of registering for the newsletter will only be used to send the newsletter. Newsletter subscribers may also be informed by e‑mail, where necessary for the operation of the newsletter service, of changes to the newsletter offer or technical circumstances. The personal data collected by the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. Subscription to the newsletter can be terminated at any time by the data subject. Consent to store personal data given by the data subject for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. A corresponding link for revocation can be found in every newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of NOUJOUM STORE or to inform NOUJOUM STORE by other means.
7. Newsletter tracking
The newsletter of NOUJOUM STORE contains tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e‑mails sent in HTML format to allow the logging and analysis of log files. This enables statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the integrated tracking pixel, NOUJOUM STORE can recognise whether and when an e‑mail was opened by a data subject and which links in the e‑mail were clicked by the data subject. The personal data collected by the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analysed by the controller in order to optimise the sending of the newsletter and to better tailor the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects may revoke the separate declaration of consent given by means of the double opt‑in procedure at any time. After revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. NOUJOUM STORE treats an unsubscribe from the newsletter as a revocation.
8. Possibility of contact via the website
The website of NOUJOUM STORE contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, including a general e‑mail address. If a data subject contacts the controller by e‑mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by the data subject to the controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
9. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or to the extent that the European legislator or another legislator has provided for storage periods in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the storage purpose is no longer applicable or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.
- b) Right of access
The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller information free of charge at any time about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information. In addition, EU law grants the data subject access to further information such as: the purposes of processing; the categories of personal data concerned; the recipients or categories of recipients; the envisaged storage period or the criteria used to determine that period; the existence of the right to request rectification, erasure or restriction of processing; the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; where the data were not collected from the data subject, available information as to their source; and the existence of automated decision‑making including profiling. - c) Right to rectification
The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them, and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the right to have incomplete personal data completed. - d) Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)
The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay where one of the legal grounds applies (e.g. data no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected, withdrawal of consent where no other legal ground exists, unlawful processing, compliance with legal obligation, etc.). If one of the grounds applies and a data subject wishes to have personal data erased stored by NOUJOUM STORE, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time. The controller will ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately where required. Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged to erase them, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, will take reasonable steps to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure of any links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data, unless processing is required. - e) Right to restriction of processing
The data subject has the right to obtain restriction of processing where the accuracy of the personal data is contested, processing is unlawful and the data subject requests restriction rather than erasure, the controller no longer needs the data but they are required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or where the data subject has objected to processing pending verification of the controller’s overriding grounds. - f) Right to data portability
The data subject has the right to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine‑readable format and to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance, where the processing is based on consent or on a contract and is carried out by automated means, and provided that the transfer does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. - g) Right to object
The data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, including profiling. The controller will no longer process the personal data unless it demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to processing for such marketing, including profiling related to such direct marketing. - h) Automated individual decision‑making, including profiling
The data subject has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, except where the decision is necessary for entering into or performance of a contract, authorised by Union or Member State law, or is based on the data subject’s explicit consent. In cases where such automated decision‑making is used, we implement appropriate measures to protect the data subject’s rights, including the right to obtain human intervention, to express their point of view and to contest the decision. - i) Right to withdraw consent
The data subject has the right to withdraw consent to processing at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
11. Legal basis of processing
Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party (e.g. to provide goods or services), processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract, such as enquiries about our products or services.
If we are subject to a legal obligation that requires processing of personal data (e.g. tax law), the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, processing may be necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person (Article 6(1)(d) GDPR). Finally, processing may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR where it is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, provided those interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.
12. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party
Where processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is to operate our business for the well‑being of our employees and shareholders while ensuring service continuity and security.
13. Period for which personal data will be stored
The criteria used to determine the storage period for personal data are the respective statutory retention periods. Once such periods have expired, the corresponding data are routinely deleted, provided they are no longer necessary for the performance of a contract or the initiation of a contract.
14. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement
Provision of personal data may be required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may result from contractual obligations (e.g. information about a contracting party). It may sometimes be necessary to conclude a contract that requires the data subject to provide us with personal data that we must process. For example, a data subject is required to provide personal data when entering into a contract with NOUJOUM STORE. Failure to provide such personal data may result in the contract not being concluded. Before personal data are provided, the data subject should contact an employee who will explain whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, whether the provision of personal data is necessary to conclude the contract and the consequences of non‑provision of the data.
15. Existence of automated decision‑making
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision‑making or profiling.
