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 an individual 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.

3. Cookies

Berrysmart websites use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser. Many websites and internet servers use cookies. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows websites and servers visited on the Internet to differentiate the individual browser of the subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the cookie's unique identifier. Through the use of cookies, Berrysmart can provide users of this website with easier-to-use services that would not be possible without the setting of cookies.  By means of a cookie the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. The user of the website that uses cookies, for example, does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because these are assumed by the website, and the cookie is thus stored in the user's computer system. Another example is a shopping cart cookie in an online store. The online store remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart through a cookie. The interested party can, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website, through a corresponding configuration of the Internet browser used , and can thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time using an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible on all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website can be used correctly.

4. Collection of general data and information

The Berrysmart website collects a series of general data and information when a person or automated system calls up the website. These general data and information are stored in the server log files. The following data can be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the access system, (3) the website from which an access system arrives at our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub websites, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the access system, and (8) any other similar data and information that can be used in case of attacks on our information technology systems. When using these general data and information, Berrysmart does not draw any conclusions regarding the data subject. Rather, this information is necessary to 1 correctly deliver the content of our website, 2 optimise the content of our website, 3 ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and 4 provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.Therefore, Berrysmart statistically analyses the data and information collected anonymously, aiming to increase the protection and security of our company's data and ensure an optimal level of protection of the personal data we process. Anonymous data from server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

8. Data protection for applications and the application procedures

On this website, the controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web Analytics is the collection and analysis of data on the behavior of website visitors. A web analytics service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a person came (the so-called referrer), which pages were visited, or how often and for how long a page was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used for the optimization of a website and to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043 1351, United States.

For web analysis via Google Analytics, the controller uses the "_gat" application. _anonymizeIp". Through this application, the IP address of the data subject's Internet connection is abbreviated by Google and anonymised when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State of the Agreement on the Economic Area European.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information collected, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and provide online reports showing activities on our websites and to provide us with other services relating to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of "cookies" is explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is able to analyze the use of our website. With each call to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the computer system of the interested person will automatically submit data via the Google Analytics component for the purposes of online advertising and settlement of commissions to Google. During this technical procedure, the company Google acquires knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, among others, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as access time, the location from which access was made, and the frequency of visits to 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 interested party, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transmit these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject can, as mentioned above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by adjusting the browser used accordingly and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such adjustment of the internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from placing a cookie on the data subject's computer system. Furthermore, cookies already in use by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

The data subject has the possibility to oppose the collection of data that is 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 possibility of preventing any of them. 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 via JavaScript that any data and information about visits to web pages cannot be transmitted to Google Analytics. Installing the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the data subject's computer system is subsequently deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on has been uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to its sphere of competence, or it is deactivated, it is possible to perform reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-on.

More information and Google's applicable data protection provisions can be retrieved at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-GB and Google Analytics is explained in more detail at the following link https://www .google.com/analytics/.

9. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6 1 , lit. a, serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the data subject has given his consent to the processing of his personal data for one or more specific purposes.

10. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)  lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

11. Period for which the personal data will be store

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

12. Changes to the Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
