49 The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and the corresponding DPA provisions, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and the corresponding DPA provisions) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and the corresponding DPA provisions), if this was requested.

5. Analysis tools and marketing
Data transfer to analysis and marketing partners
58 This website uses functions from various analysis and marketing partners with your consent. You can find an overview of all partners in our Consent Management Platform (CMP): www.lensvision.ch/cmp. You can consent to or reject the transfer of data to these partners for different purposes in the CMP. You can change this selection at any time. You can find more information about our partners in the CMP, such as a description of the services, the data processed, the technologies used, the legal basis, the location of the processing, the storage period and further information on the data protection declarations of our partners.
Matching of customer data for marketing purposes
59 With your separate consent, we share "hashed" contact data with selected marketing partners. "Hashing" is a process in which data is converted into a seemingly random but unique string of characters of fixed length using a special algorithm. This string is called a “hash value” or “hash” and works similarly to a check digit. The hash value cannot be recalculated. However, the recipient can check whether they already have data in their own database that has the same hash value. If this is the case, the partner can establish a link. This is how our advertising partners find out whether a person is already among their own contacts. However, they do not receive any new contact information from us that the advertising partners do not already have from you. This comparison helps us and our advertising partners to provide you with targeted advertising.
60 The following data will be shared with our advertising partners with your consent:
− Hash value of your email address
− Hash value of your telephone number
− Hash value of your first name
− Hash value of your surname
− Hash value of the country
− Hash value of zip code
61 We currently share this data with the following partners with your consent:
− Google (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de)
− Microsoft (https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement?tid=331723716362)
− Meta (https://de-de.facebook.com/privacy/policy/)
Coupon Marketing
62 In order to select a voucher offer that is currently of interest to you, we transmit the hash value of your e-mail address and your IP address to Sovendus GmbH, Hermann-Veit-Str. 6, 76135 Karlsruhe (Sovendus) in pseudonymized and encrypted form (Art. 6 para.1 f GDPR and the corresponding DPA provisions). The pseudonymized hash value of the e-mail address is used by Sovendus to take into account any objection to advertising (Art. 21 para.3, Art. 6 para.1 c GDPR and the corresponding DPA provisions). The IP address is used by Sovendus exclusively for data security purposes and is usually anonymized after seven days (Art. 6 para.1 f GDPR and the corresponding DPA provisions). In addition, for billing purposes, we transmit pseudonymized order number, order value with currency, session ID, coupon code and time stamp to Sovendus (Art. 6 para.1 f GDPR and the corresponding DPA provisions). If you are interested in a voucher offer from Sovendus, there is no advertising objection to your email address and you click on the voucher banner that is only displayed in this case, we transmit your title, name, zip code, country and email address in encrypted form to Sovendus for the preparation of the voucher (Art. 6 para.1 b, f GDPR and the corresponding DPA provisions).
63 For further information on the processing of your data by Sovendus, please refer to the online privacy notices at https://www.sovendus.de/datenschutz.
Trusted Shops Trustbadge
64 To display our Trusted Shops seal of approval and to offer Trusted Shops membership to buyers after an order, the Trusted Shops trust badge is integrated on this website.
65 This serves to protect our legitimate interests in an optimal marketing of our offer, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and the corresponding DPA provisions. The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are an offer of Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne.
66 When the Trustbadge is called up, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, your IP address, the date and time of the call-up, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the call-up. This access data is not evaluated and is automatically overwritten at the latest seven days after the end of your visit to the site.
67 Further personal data will only be transferred to Trusted Shops if you decide to use Trusted Shops products after completing an order or have already registered to use them. In this case, the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops applies.
6. Newsletter

68 If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified e-mail address and agree to receive the newsletter.

86 For more information, please visit the website at https://www.storyblok.com/ or read the Storyblok privacy policy at https://www.storyblok.com/legal/privacy-policy.
8. Affiliate programs
87 We participate in affiliate partner programs. In affiliate partner programs, advertisements of a company (advertiser) are placed on websites of other companies of the affiliate partner network (publisher). If you click on one of these affiliate advertisements, you will be redirected to the advertised offer. If you subsequently carry out a specific transaction (conversion), the publisher receives a commission for this. To calculate this remuneration, it is necessary for the affiliate network operator to be able to trace which advertisement you used to access the respective offer and to have carried out the predefined transaction. Cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting) are used for this purpose.
88 The storage and analysis of the data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and the corresponding DPA provisions. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the correct calculation of his affiliate remuneration. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and the corresponding DPA provisions.

9. Re-ordering service
90 If you have successfully placed an order for contact lenses via our online shop, we will process your name, email address, order date and information about the products you have ordered in order to offer you a reordering service. Depending on the quantity of products ordered, we will calculate a reasonable time for you to reorder. You will receive a reminder email at this time with the option to purchase the products you have ordered again. Only if you choose this option will you be redirected to our website to start the ordering process again. The legal basis for sending the reminder email is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and the corresponding DPA provisions) in conducting direct advertising. Our interest outweighs your legitimate interests, as we can generally assume that a repeat order of the consumable product contact lenses is also in your interest. Your interests are also sufficiently protected by the fact that you can object to the further receipt of reminder e-mails at any time by clicking an ‘unsubscribe’ button, which is located in each reminder e-mail. In this case, we will no longer process your data for the purposes of the reordering service. Further processing of the data for other purposes remains unaffected insofar as we have a legal basis for this.

If the risk of non-payment is excessive, we may refuse the payment method in question.
105 The credit assessment is carried out for the fulfillment of the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and the corresponding DPA provisions) and to avoid payment defaults (legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and the corresponding DPA provisions). If consent has been obtained, the credit assessment is based on this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. GDPR and the corresponding DPA provisions); consent can be revoked at any time.
