We take data protection and confidentiality extremely seriously and comply with national and European data protection regulations. We therefore want to explain the most important aspects with regard to the collection, processing and use of data, particularly which information and personal data is stored and how we handle it.
The controller responsible for the collection, processing and use of your personal data by this website (Spectrum Brands Mediacenter) as defined by the General Data Protection Regulation is Tetra GmbH, Herrenteich 78, 49324 Melle, Germany (‘Controller’, Art. 4 (7) GDPR).
2.1. Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (Art. 4 (1) GDPR).
This particularly includes your name, e-mail address, telephone number, address and date of birth as well as all inventory data that you provide us within the scope of registering a customer account (hereinafter simply referred as ‘personal data’).
Statistical data that we collect by default for technical reasons when you visit our website and which is anonymised and therefore cannot be directly linked to you does not fall under this Privacy Policy. This includes information about how often you access our website, how much time you spend on it and the pages you access as well as about browsers, IP addresses and software and hardware properties. This information is collected and processed in anonymised format in order to find out about the use of our website and accordingly optimise it.
2.2. Collection, processing and use of your data
We collect and process the following categories of personal data for the following purposes:
2.2.1. Registration and provision of services
We collect and process the following data when you apply to access the Spectrum Brands Mediacenter (registration):
This data is used to review and process your request, provide our services and for technical administration purposes.
The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR as it is required to prepare and perform contracts to which you are party.
2.2.2. Login memory
Upon successful verification of your data we create a user profile for you, in which the aforementioned data is stored and which is linked to an individual username assignable to your user profile.
The system saves your first login and most recent login using your username (login memory).
We use this login data to regularly review and clean up our database of user profiles with the aim of deactivating profiles that have never been used or have not been used for a long time (three years).
The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR as it is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party.
2.2.3. Tracking
Your IP address will also be saved when you use the Mediacenter (tracking).
Tracking records all download processes performed via the Mediacenter. The following data is stored together with your IP address and username:
The tracking data is solely processed for evidence purposes, if this is necessary to defend against asserted claims. The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR as it is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party.
2.3. Retention period
We will store the personal data for the duration of our business relations and beyond until expiration of the statutory maximum limitation periods (currently 30 years). The long retention period is necessary because the content provided via the Mediacenter is protected by copyright, trademark or other legal proprietary rights and such proprietary rights are valid for long and sometimes even indefinite periods. Sufficient defence against potential legal claims is not guaranteed with shorter retention periods.
Upon deactivating your profile, we will delete the data in the login memory (first and most recent logins). We check that our database is up to date at least once a year by identifying profiles that have never been used or have not been used for a long time (three years).
At this point, we delete all the profile data for profiles that have never been used (no logins or not a single download process). The same applies if your profile has already been deactivated and all tracking data has been deleted in accordance with the deletion periods outlined above.
Your personal data will only be shared with third parties in the following cases:
If we commission other companies to perform tasks on our behalf within the scope of an order processing agreement and disclose your personal data to this end, these companies are obligated to protect your personal data and only use it for the purposes established in the agreements entered into with them.
In cases where we transmit personal data to countries outside the EU/EEA, we only do so to external recipients in these countries if they have taken sufficient security precautions in line with legal requirements, such as agreeing to standard EU contractual clauses or holding Privacy Shield certification.
You can request further information, such as copies of the security precautions for the individual transmission operations, by contacting dsr@eu.spectrumbrands.com.
