Effective Date: 01/11/2021
Last Updated: May 11, 2021
Data Protection Declaration
Thank you for your interest in our products and services. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below you will find details about the handling of your data according to Art. 13 EU-DSGVO.
This data protection declaration applies to all websites and online shops operated by Pack Pack USA and informs about the procedures used in the interest of data protection. It explains which data is collected, its purposes, how it is processed, and how it is used.
1. Access data and hosting
You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time a website is called up, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file which, for example, contains the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of the request, the amount of data transmitted, and the requesting internet service provider and documents the request.
These log files are evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our services. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer, which predominates within the scope of a balancing of interests. All log files will be deleted no later than thirty days after the end of your visit to the site.
Third-party hosting services
Within the framework of processing on our behalf, third-party providers provide us with hosting and website presentation services. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer, which predominate within the scope of a balancing of interests. All data collected in the context of the use of these websites or in the forms provided for this purpose in our online shops, as described below, are processed on its servers. Processing on other servers only takes place in the framework described here.
These service providers, including the server locations, are located within the United States or the European Union.
2. Data collection and use for contract processing and when opening a customer account
We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us in connection with your order, when contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email) or when opening a customer account. Mandatory fields are marked as such since in these cases, we require the data for contract processing or for processing your contact or opening of the customer account, and you cannot complete the order and/or the account opening or cannot send the contact without that information. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data provided by you to process contracts and your inquiries. After complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the expiry of the storage periods under tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration. The deletion of your customer account is possible under certain conditions. For this purpose, please contact the contact option described below.
3. Data transfer
For the fulfillment of the contract, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned, if applicable, with the delivery. This is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the order process, we pass on the payment data collected for the processing of payments to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to payment service providers commissioned by us or to the selected payment service. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you create an account there. In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. The data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies in this respect.
Data transfer to shipping service providers
If you have given us your express consent to this during or after your order, we will pass on your email address and telephone number to the selected shipping service provider on the basis of this so that the latter can contact you before delivery for the purpose of notification or coordination of delivery.
Consent can be revoked at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below or directly to the shipping service provider specified at the time of purchase. After revocation, we will delete your data provided for this purpose, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data, or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.
4. Email newsletter and postal advertising
Email advertising with registration for the newsletter
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use your data to regularly send you our email newsletter in accordance with your consent.
After your registration, you will receive an email from us asking you to confirm your registration again. Only then will you receive further emails from us. We have opted for this double opt-in procedure because data protection is important to us. We want to make sure that your email address has not been registered with us by a third party.
In the context of the newsletter dispatch, we store the contact data, which you gave us. In order to provide you with the best possible information and to send you a suitable product and service offers, we also determine and store opening and click data. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in an optimized presentation of our offer, which predominates in the context of a balancing of interests.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time and either by sending a message to the contact option described below or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter. After the deregistration, we delete your email address unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data, or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.
The newsletter is sent within the framework of a processing on our behalf by a service provider to whom we pass on your email address for this purpose.
To be removed from the newsletter service, please use the unsubscribe option included within the newsletter email.
Postal advertising and your right of objection.
Furthermore, we reserve the right to use your first and last name as well as your postal address for our own advertising purposes, e.g. to send offers and information about our products by post. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in an advertising approach to our customers, which outweigh our interests.
The advertising mailings are processed on our behalf by a service provider to whom we pass on your data. You can object to the storage and use of your data for these purposes at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below.
5. Use of data for payment processing
Credit assessment
If we make advance payments, e.g. for purchase on account or direct debit, it is necessary for the conclusion of the contract to obtain identity and creditworthiness information from specialized service companies (credit agencies). This serves to protect our legitimate interests, which predominate when weighing up interests, in minimizing payment defaults. We may transfer your personal data required for a credit check.
Appropriate measures to protect your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests will be taken into account. You have the opportunity to make your views known and to challenge the decision by contacting the contact person described below.

This serves to protect our legitimate interests in an optimized presentation of our offer, which predominates in the context of a balancing of interests. Google Analytics uses methods that enable an analysis of your use of our websites, such as cookies. The automatically collected information about your use of our website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. By activating IP anonymizing on our websites, the IP address is reduced prior to transmission within the member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The anonymous IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

This serves the protection of our legitimate interests in optimal marketing of our websites.
Any additional processing will only occur if you have agreed with Google that your web and app browsing history will be linked to your Google Account. Information from your Google Account will be used to personalize ads you see on the web. In this case, if you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. To this end, Google temporarily links your personal data with Google Analytics data to form target groups.
