Privacy Statement

We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the SkinBaron GmbH. The use of the Internet pages of the SkinBaron GmbH is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required, we refer to the legal basis of the General Data Protection Regulation, the Federal Data Protection Act and other laws relevant to data protection. If the law requires the consent of the data subject, we will of course obtain this before processing the data.

c)    Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is 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 is 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 the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

f)    Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is 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 or controller responsible for the processing

Controller or controller responsible for the processing 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.

However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.

j)    Third party

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

Ossecker Straße 165

95030 Hof

Deutschland

E-Mail: [email protected]

Website: skinbaron.de

3. Purposes, legal bases and storage periods of personal data

We process personal data for different purposes, based on different legal bases. Essentially, we process personal data to ensure the best possible user experience at SkinBaron, to enable individual suggestions for skins, to be able to get in touch with questions or suggestions, to detect fraudulent or illegal activities at an early stage, to thwart them and also to be able to prosecute them in cooperation with the authorities responsible for this.

In order to be able to explain to you in more detail for which purpose and on which legal basis personal data is processed by us, you will find a list below, sorted by the respective legal basis.

3.1 Art.6 I lit. b) GDPR: We process personal data because it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures that are taken at the request of the data subject.

  • At SkinBaron it is possible to purchase goods. For this purpose, it is necessary to collect personal data in the ordering process. The data entered in the order mask provided for this purpose will be transmitted to SkinBaron and stored. The data to be entered includes:
    • First and last name
    • residential address
    • date of birth
    • E-mail address
    • Bank account
    A handling of the payment processes takes place through our partner, Adyen N.V. A transfer of this personal data thus takes place for the processing of a purchase contract. Adyen N.V. is a payment service provider that specializes in processing money transactions within the framework of legal requirements and guidelines. Adyen N.V. is thus independently responsible for the protection of this personal data within the meaning of the GDPR within the scope of this contract fulfilment.

3.2 Art.6 I lit. c) GDPR: We process personal data because the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

  • SkinBaron is subject to the Money Laundering Act, among other things, due to the form of business described. This requires that a contractual partner is to be identified before a business relationship is established. This is done at SkinBaron by entering the personal data in the respective input mask in the own profile. The following personal data has to be entered:
    • First and last name
    • residential address
    • date of birth
    • Citizenship
    A transfer of this data to Adyen N.V. takes place within the framework of the legal regulations, in particular the customer care obligations of the Money Laundering Act.

3.3 Art.6 lit. f) GDPR: We process personal data because the processing is necessary for the protection of a corrective interest of ours, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which requires the protection of personal data, are overridden.

  • The website of the SkinBaron GmbH collects a series of general data and information with each call-up of the website by a data subject or automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server
  • The browser types and versions used
  • The operating system used by the accessing system
  • The website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrer).
  • The sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website.
  • The date and time of an access to the website
  • An Internet Protocol (IP) address
  • The Internet service provider of the accessing system
  • Other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

3.4 Art.6 lit. a) DSG-VO: We process personal data if a corresponding consent of the purpose has been given.

  • In addition to the fulfilment of a purchase contract, SkinBaron has another purpose that requires the provision of the e-mail address. During registration it is necessary to provide an e-mail address. This is necessary so that there is a secured and confirmed contact between SkinBaron and user, in particular to inform about changes of the ToS & Privacy Policy in time and to re-establish the effectiveness therein by a consent to be obtained again. Furthermore, it is possible that a disclosure of the specified e-mail address is necessary for the prosecution of criminal offenses to authorities.
  • The website of the SkinBaron GmbH contains legal requirements which enable a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or by using a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. No disclosure of this personal data to third parties will take place.
  • On the website of the SkinBaron GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the controller when the newsletter is ordered is specified in the input mask used for this purpose. The SkinBaron GmbH informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The newsletter of our enterprise can basically 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 to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the newsletter for the first time using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail serves to verify whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later point in time and therefore serves the legal safeguarding of the controller.
  • The internet pages of SkinBaron GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser. Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID. Through the use of cookies, the SkinBaron GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting. By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the sense of the user. Cookies allow us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online store. The online store uses a cookie to remember the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
  • To enable SkinBaron to provide individualized and user-tailored suggestions for goods and items, the user's behaviour, especially with regard to
    • the IP address
    • of the country indicated by the user during the registration process
    • of purchasing behaviour
    • the selected payment method
    • of the usage behaviour on the website
    analysed. This analysis can also ensure future marketing campaigns, general and specific improvements to the website and the connection of new products. At no time does this involve automated decision-making that would significantly affect the data subject.

4. Privacy policy for the SmokeBaron App

SmokeBaron is an app that shows video instructions on how to throw objects, especially hand grenades, smoke grenades, stun grenades and Molotov cocktails, in the computer game: CounterStrike. This app can be found for free in all popular app purchasing programs. The App is owned by the above-mentioned SkinBaron GmbH, which also makes it the data controller.

With this service, content, e.g., large media files, are delivered via regionally distributed servers of external CDN service providers. Therefore, access data is processed on the servers of the service providers. Our service providers work for us within the framework of order processing. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this privacy policy.

Meier Tobias, Rosenthal Jürgen GbR ("Stadtrausch") have access to the information mentioned in chapter 2, but they will only use this information for app optimization purposes.

5. Data protection provisions about the application and use of iDevAffiliate

On this website, the controller has integrated components of the enterprise iDevAffiliate Inc. iDevAffiliate is an affiliate network based in the USA, which offers affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing is a web-based form of distribution, which allows commercial operators of Internet sites, the so-called merchants or advertisers, to show advertising, which will be paid mostly through click or sale commissions, on third-party Internet sites that are also called affiliates or publishers. The Merchant provides through the affiliate network an advertising medium, such as an advertising banner or other suitable means of Internet advertising, which is subsequently integrated by an affiliate on its own Internet pages or via other channels such as keyword advertising or e-mail marketing.

The operating company of Affilinet is the iDevAffiliate Inc., 23816 Woodpark Ct., Valencia, 91354, California, USA

iDevAffiliate sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. The tracking cookie by iDevAffiliate stores no personal data. Only the identification number of the affiliate, that is, the partner mediating the potential customer, as well as the ordinal number of the visitor of a website and the clicked advertising medium are stored. The purpose of this data storage is the processing of commission payments between a merchant and affiliate, which are processed through the affiliate network, that is iDevAffiliate.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the Internet browser used and, thus, permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent iDevAffiliate from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by iDevAffiliate may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

The applicable data protection provisions of iDevAffiliate may be accessed under https://www.idevdirect.com/policies.php

6. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook

On this website, the controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows social network users to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States. If a person lives outside of the United States or Canada, the controller is the Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) was integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook through the Facebook component. An overview of all the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what specific sub-site of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific sub-site of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g. the "Like" button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about a visit to our website by the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook during the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook account before a call-up to our website is made.

The data protection guideline published by Facebook, which is available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. In addition, it is explained there what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, different configuration options are made available to allow the elimination of data transmission to Facebook. These applications may be used by the data subject to eliminate a data transmission to Facebook.

7. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States./p>

For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application "_gat. _anonymizeIp". By means of this application the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by Google and anonymised when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site for us.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is further explained under the following Link https://www.google.com/analytics/.

8. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google-AdWords

On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdWords. Google AdWords is a service for Internet advertising that allows the advertiser to place ads in Google search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords with the help of which an ad on Google's search results only then displayed, when the user utilizes the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google Advertising Network, the ads are distributed on relevant web pages using an automatic algorithm, taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.

The purpose of Google AdWords is the promotion of our website by the inclusion of relevant advertising on the websites of third parties and in the search engine results of the search engine Google and an insertion of third-party advertising on our website.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a conversion cookie is filed on the information technology system of the data subject through Google. The definition of cookies is explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after 30 days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to check whether certain sub-pages, e.g, the shopping cart from an online shop system, were called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both Google and the controller can understand whether a person who reached an AdWords ad on our website generated sales, that is, executed or canceled a sale of goods.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are used in order to determine the total number of users who have been served through AdWords ads to ascertain the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads in the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie stores personal information, e.g. the Internet pages visited by the data subject. Each time we visit our Internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as stated above, by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by Google AdWords may be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

The data subject has a possibility of objecting to the interest based advertisement of Google. Therefore, the data subject must access from each of the browsers in use the link www.google.de/settings/ads and set the desired settings.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

9. Data protection provisions about the application and use of X

On this website, the controller has integrated components of X. X is a multilingual, publicly-accessible microblogging service on which users may publish and spread so-called ‘posts,’ e.g. short messages, which are limited to 280 characters. These short messages are available for everyone, including those who are not logged on to X. The posts are also displayed to so-called followers of the respective user. Followers are other X users who follow a user's posts. Furthermore, X allows you to address a wide audience via hashtags, links or reposts.

The operating company of X is X, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, UNITED STATES.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a X component (X button) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding X component of X. Further information about the X buttons is available under https://about.X.com/de/resources/buttons. During the course of this technical procedure, X gains knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. The purpose of the integration of the X component is a retransmission of the contents of this website to allow our users to introduce this web page to the digital world and increase our visitor numbers.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on X, X detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site which specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the X component and associated with the respective X account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the X buttons integrated on our website, then X assigns this information to the personal X user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

X receives information via the X component that the data subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject is logged in on X at the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the X component or not. If such a transmission of information to X is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their X account before a call-up to our website is made.

The applicable data protection provisions of X may be accessed under https://X.com/privacy?lang=en.

10. Data protection provisions about the application and use of YouTube

On this website, the controller has integrated components of YouTube. YouTube is an Internet video portal that enables video publishers to set video clips and other users free of charge, which also provides free viewing, review and commenting on them. YouTube allows you to publish all kinds of videos, so you can access both full movies and TV broadcasts, as well as music videos, trailers, and videos made by users via the Internet portal.

The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, UNITED STATES. The YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component. Further information about YouTube may be obtained under https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/en/. During the course of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in on YouTube, YouTube recognizes with each call-up to a sub-page that contains a YouTube video, which specific sub-page of our Internet site was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.

YouTube and Google will receive information through the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website, if the data subject at the time of the call to our website is logged in on YouTube; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on a YouTube video or not. If such a transmission of this information to YouTube and Google is not desirable for the data subject, the delivery may be prevented if the data subject logs off from their own YouTube account before a call-up to our website is made.

YouTube's data protection provisions, available at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

11. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Cloudflare

On this website, the controller has integrated Cloudflare. Cloudflare is a US company headquartered in California, which is intended to protect our website esp. from so-called DDoS attacks.

A DDoS attack is a special type of cyber crime. The distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is a "distributed" denial of service (DoS) attack, which in turn is a service blockade. This occurs when a requested service is no longer available or only available to a very limited extent. In most cases, this is triggered by a deliberate overload of the IT infrastructure. Attackers use this type of cybercrime to extort ransoms from unprotected organizations or to carry out, cover up or prepare other criminal acts.

13. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

The retention periods for contracts and the personal data collected for them generally last between six and ten years. Insofar as there are legal regulations, the data is then blocked or anonymized instead of being deleted. This is particularly necessary if it is required for legal prosecution or legal defence.

Other statutory provisions on the retention of data result, among other things, from the Money Laundering Act. This stipulates that the data collected to establish a business relationship must be stored for five years, starting at the end of the year in which the business relationship ends.

For other purposes, in particular when processing data on the basis of a given consent, the processing ends when the consent is revoked. Storage of this previously processed personal data does not take place. To the extent permitted by law, blocking or anonymization instead of deletion also takes place here in order to be able to

14. Backup measures to protect against data loss & data theft

The security of data in relation to the use and user experience at SkinBaron is a great responsibility and is accordingly measured with a high value. In order to not only simply comply with legal regulations, SkinBaron GmbH is committed to consistently guarantee optimal protection of personal data against loss, misuse or theft within the framework of technological progress. Extensive technical and organizational measures, specially trained and educated employees, a team of experts in their field and the claim to guarantee the highest level of security within the user experience at SkinBaron is the basic attitude with which we process personal data. Since personal data processing always requires two parties (controller and data subject), events may still occur where data cannot be processed properly. This is in the nature of things when data is transmitted via public networks. SkinBaron has no influence on this, as it is also the responsibility of the data subject to ensure in particular the correct transmission and use of their own data.
