The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp ()”. We have activated IP anonymization on this website by using the extension “_anonymizeIp ()”, so your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. As a result of this IP anonymization reference to particular individuals can be excluded. Therefore, as far as the data collected about you contains a personal reference, it is immediately excluded and the personal data deleted immediately. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. 

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website usage and internet usage to us Google may also transfer this information to third parties as required by law or if said third parties process this data on behalf of Google.The IP address provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google information.

The opinion of the supervisory authorities is not yet available. In any case, the data subject must be informed about the extended use and be shown the possibility to opt-out.

 

2.2.2. Google Ads (formerly Google Adwords)

We use the offer of Google Ads, in order to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising (so-called Google Ads) on external web pages. In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. We are interested in showing you advertisements that are of interest to you, to make our website more interesting to you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.

These advertising materials are supplied by Google via so-called “ad servers”. To do this, we use ad server cookies, from which certain performance metrics such as ads or user clicks can be measured. If you access our website through a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your PC. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and should not serve to personally identify you. As a rule, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wants to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values for this cookie.

These cookies allow Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Ads customer’s website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer may discover that the user clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to that page. Each Ads customer is assigned a different cookie. Thus cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We receive only statistical evaluations provided by Google. On the basis of these evaluations, we can identify which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising material; in particular, we cannot identify the users on the basis of this information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence over the scope of the data collected by the employment of this tool by Google and the further use of such data, and inform you therefore according to our level of knowledge: By including Ads Conversion, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or have clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a service provided by Google, Google may associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a chance that the provider will find out your IP address and store it.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) GDPR.

2.2.3 Google Remarketing

In addition to Ads Conversion, we use the Google remarketing application, which enables you to see our ads after visiting our website as you continue to use the internet. This is done by means of cookies stored in your browser, through which your usage behavior when visiting various websites is recorded and evaluated by Google. This is how Google determines your previous visit to our website. Consolidation of the data collected during the remarketing with your personal data, which may be stored by Google, does not occur by Google according to its own statements. In particular, according to Google, pseudonymization is used in remarketing.

With the use of remarketing, information about your browsing behavior is collected for marketing purposes in anonymous form and stored on your computer using cookies (targeting / retargeting). Based on an algorithm, we can then show you targeted product recommendations as personalized banner ads on other websites (so-called publishers). If you do not want this to occur, you can disable it via the Ads Preferences Manager (https://www.support.google.com/ads/answers/2662922).

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) GDPR.

2.2.4 Google Campaign Manager (formerly Google DoubleClick)

This website uses the online marketing tool Campaign Managerby Google. Campaign Manager uses cookies to place ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Google uses a cookie ID to determine which ads are shown in which browser and can prevent them from being displayed multiple times. In addition Campaign Manager uses cookie IDs to track so-called conversions related to advertising requests. This is the case if, for example, a user sees a Campaign Manager advertisement and later goes to the advertiser’s website with the same browser and buys something there. According to Google, Campaign Manager cookies do not contain personal information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server when you visit our website. We have no influence over the scope of the data collected by the employment of this tool by Google and the further use of such data, and inform you therefore according to our level of knowledge: By including Campaign Manager, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or have clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a service provided by Google, Google may associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a chance that the provider will find out your IP address and store it.

Furthermore Campaign Manager cookies (DoubleClick Floodlight) help us to understand whether you complete certain actions on our website after viewing any of our display/video ads on Google or other platforms through Campaign Manager or clicking through one of these ads (conversion tracking). Campaign Manager applies this cookie to understand the content with which you have interacted on our website to be able to send you targeted advertising later on.

If you want to prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookies please download and install the browser plugin available under “Display settings”, “Extension for Campaign Manager deactivation” at https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/142293.

Further information on Campaign Manager is available at https://www.google.de/doubleclick.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR.

2.2.8. Google Tag Manager

This website uses the Google Tag Manager that allows website tags to be managed using an interface. The Google Tag Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn collect data if necessary. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this information. If recording has been deactivated on domain or cookie level, it remains valid for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

2.7.2 Display of social media content

We also use the services of YotPo to display social media content from Instagram (an offering of Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA - hereinafter "Instagram") on our website in a widget. Specifically, we use YotPo to embed posts from third-party Instagram channels, which have been published on Instagram and are related to our products and/or services, on our website (e.g. in our image gallery or on our product pages), our social media channels and/or in our newsletters free of charge, provided that you have given us your consent to do so.

That’s how it works: When we see a post that we like (usually because we and/or our products have been tagged or mentioned by you on your Instagram channel), we will contact you via Instagram and ask you to consent to the use of the personal data contained therein (like your picture or video, text of you post, your Instagram username, time of post) in accordance with this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. Only if and after you consent to such use, which you can revoke any time with effect for the future by sending an email to privacy@head.com, your content may be published on our website (e.g. in our image gallery or on our product pages), our social media channels and/or in our newsletters to promote our products and services without charge. The content of the widget is then transmitted directly from Instagram to your browser through a connection to the Instagram servers and integrated into the website by the latter.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data processing, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy can be found in the terms of use and privacy policy of Instagram: https://help.instagram.com/.

You have the right to object to the creation of user profiles or the allocation, whereby you must contact the social media provider or Instagram directly to exercise this right. In addition, we point out that you can prevent this assignment by logging out of your Instagram profile before visiting the website and deleting the cookies used by Instagram. Alternatively, you can prevent the storage of cookies set by Instagram by adjusting your browser software accordingly.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) GDPR.

2.8 Hotjar

On our website we use the Hotjar tool from Hotjar Ltd, Level 2, St Julians Business Centre, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julians STJ 1000, Malta (“Hotjar”).

The use of Hotjar allows us to better track visitor behavior on our website and helps us understand how long users stay on which pages, which links are clicked, etc. This allows us to better adapt our offer and services to the needs of our users.

We process information such as the IP address of the device used (collected and stored anonymously), screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), information about the browser used, location (country only) and the preferred language for viewing our website using cookies and other technologies. Hotjar stores this information on our behalf in a pseudonymized user profile. You can managed and disable the use of Hotjar via your cookie settings.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) GDPR.

2.9 Salesforce

Data that you provide to us via our website (e.g. in forms for purchase, newsletter registration, as part of a prize game/contests  or via your cookie settings) is currently stored in the Salesforce Service Cloud (salesforce.com Germany GmbH, Erika-Mann-Str. 31, 80636 Munich, Germany) on servers in the EU and are e.g. used to send order confirmations and shipment notices.

For sending our newsletters and for automated mailings (e.g. welcome mailing) we use the Salesforce Marketing Cloud. For this purpose, the newsletter subscriber's data is transferred from Service Cloud to Marketing Cloud. The Salesforce Marketing Cloud data is also generally stored and processed on Salesforce servers in the EU. Only in the event of a disaster are services restored in the USA.

Salesforce has committed itself with binding internal data protection rules in accordance with Art. 46 (2) b) and Art. 47 EU-DSGVO (so-called binding corporate rules) to maintain an appropriate level of data protection even when processing data outside the European Union.

Further information on data processing by Salesforce can be found here:

Salesforce privacy policy: https://www.salesforce.com/company/privacy/

Documents on Salesforce's compliance with the provisions of the GDPR: https://compliance.salesforce.com/en/gdpr

With the help of so-called web beacons and pixels, we receive information about the click behavior of users via the Marketing Cloud. Interaction data is stored in the Marketing Cloud directly on the user.

The legal basis for this processing is either based on our legitimate interest in using a customer relationship management system pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR or on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para 1 (a) GDPR.

3. OPERATION/USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS

We are operating several accounts on social media networks or platforms or using such social media networks or platforms in order to communicate with our customers, interested parties and other users and to inform them about our brands, products and services.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union by the Social Media companies when visiting their websites which can result in risks for users (e.g. it could be difficult to enforce data subject rights of users). 

Please note that your data is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes by the Social Media platforms when visiting their websites. For example, user profiles can be created on the basis of user behaviour and the documented interests of users. The user profiles can then be used to place advertisements within and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the user's computer. Furthermore, data can also be stored in the user profiles independently of the devices used by the users (in particular if the users are registered users of the respective platforms and are logged in).

The processing of your personal data when visiting our social media channels is carried out on the basis of our and the social media platform’s legitimate interests (effective information of and communication with customers, prospects and users) pursuant to Art. 6  Para.1 (f) GDPR. If you are requested to consent to the aforementioned data processing, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para 1 (a) GDPR.

With regard to the exercise of your data subject rights under the GDPR we point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the Social Media providers. Only the social media providers have access to your personal data and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information to you. Should you nevertheless need help, please let us know.

For a detailed description of the respective processing operations and the opt-out options, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective service provider:

All the data provided by you (such as any personal data that is sent by e-mail or ordinary mail, uploaded in files or otherwise collected as part of the application process) (“DATA”) will be collected, stored and processed exclusively for the purpose of dealing with your application. Only the employees of the human resources department of the company with which you have applied for a job, the employees of the relevant department for which you apply, as well as the employees of the international human resources department of the HEAD Group, located at HEAD Sport GmbH, Wurkopfweg 1, 6921 Kennelbach, will have access to your DATA.

You may revoke your voluntary consent to the processing of your DATA at any time, without specifying the reasons and with effect for the future (e.g. by sending an e-mail to the contacts named in the job advertisement).

If your application is successful, all DATA relating to the employment relationship with you will be processed further; you will then receive more detailed information on this in our employee information leaflet on data protection.

We process your personal data according to Art. 6 Para 1 (a) GDPR and because of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 Para 1 (f) GDPR.

4.3. Purchase via online store

If you make a purchase via this website, we collect, store and process personal data (your name, billing and delivery address, e-mail address, telephone number and the serial number assigned to the ordered items and information on the goods that you purchased) for the purposes of contract performance and the fulfilment of any post-contractual obligations (such as a warranty) or even for manufacturing purposes in the case of Head custom-made orders. For this purpose, we forward your name, telephone number and your delivery address to transport or courier services for the delivery of the goods that you purchased, and we also forward the payment and transaction data to credit or financial institutions for the handling of payment. It is necessary to provide personal data for the conclusion and fulfilment of the contract.

You have the option to register on our website in order to create a personalized account. However, you also have the possibility to place orders with us without setting up a personal user account (for details please see section 4.4.).

We can also process the data provided by you to ask you to review a product that you purchased, inform you about offers, news, surveys and contests regarding similar HEAD products or services, or to send you e-mails connected with your orders or with technical information. You may object to the use of your data at any time free of charge if the processing serves the purposes of direct marketing (for details please see section 9).

If you register through an existing account (such as ZEPP, Facebook, Google or WeChat), you agree that we will access the data that you store in this account (such as your name, e-mail address, address) and that they will be processed for the purposes described in this section 4.3. For this purpose, during registration, you must once again explicitly consent to data transmission from the respective existing account.

We process your personal data for the performance of the contract according to Art. 6 Para 1 (b) GDPR and because of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 Para 1 (f) GDPR.

4.4. Create an account

You have the option to register on our website in order to create a personalized account (“Registered User”), either (a) prior to your purchase by clicking on the person symbol in the upper right corner or (b) right before you conclude your purchase on our check out page.

In order to create your account you will be asked to provide the following data: first name, last name, email address and password and on a voluntary basis billing address, delivery address, gender, company name, phone number and fax number. On the one hand, this means that your personal data is saved and you do not have to re-enter it when you place a new order with us, and on the other hand, it allows you to easily manage your previous orders. In your account, you will find a comprehensive overview of your contact details, orders that have not yet been delivered, past orders as well as delivery, payment and return details.

Please note that you must already have an account at the time of purchase and be logged into this existing account so that the new order is also recorded in your account and can be managed by you. It is not possible to subsequently add orders to your account. So if you want to order as a Registered User, you have the option to either create an account directly before completing your order (if you had not created an account before) or if you already have an existing account but are not logged in, you have the option to log in to your account before completing your purchase so that your order can be assigned to your account.

If you set up an account on our website, we will be able to associate your previous interactions (e.g. your click path, completed forms, purchases made; ratings given) on our website with you after you have set up your account. If you make the purchase while logged in to your account, the data relating to the purchase and, as long as you remain, logged in, interaction data relating to your surfing behavior on our website will be assigned to your profile. The data is stored in the Salesforce Service Cloud and processed for the purpose of carrying out purchases, improving our offer and services and personalized advertising. For more information about Salesforce see 2.9.

If you set up and use an account, you shall be responsible for protecting your account and your password and for restricting access to your computer. Furthermore, you declare that you agree – to the legally permissible extent – to be liable for all activities which are performed through your account and/or with your password. You must take all required measures to ensure that your password is kept confidential and stored in a safe place and you should notify us immediately if you have reason to believe that a third party has gained access to your password or that your account is being used without prior authorisation or that such unauthorised use is likely.

You can also make the purchase without setting up a personal user account (“Guest User”), in which case the purchase data will also be stored in the Salesforce Service Cloud and processed for the purpose of carrying out the purchase, improving our offer and services and for personalized advertising.

If you have created an account on our website, you can manage and delete the details of your profile yourself. If you want to delete, change or add any account details or if you do not currently have an account and would like to find out how to set one up please click here.

The categories of personal data we process depend on which features of the app you use and what kind of data you share with us. In order to be able to use the app, you have to sign into your personal account or, if you do not have one, create an account. For more information about the processing of personal data when creating a personalized account, please see section 4.4. which applies to the personalized account for the use of the HEAD Rebels Club App as well.

  • When using the app’s profile settings, you are able to amend personal information that you provided during the registration process (e.g., username, email address, name, date of birth, gender, height, weight, wheelchair use).

All the data mentioned above is shared by you voluntarily and is processed in order to be able to provide the functions of the app, such as recording your training process, sharing your posts within the HEAD Rebels community, or presenting your data in a visualized form to other users of the app. We process your personal data on the basis of the necessity for the performance of the contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) and on the basis of our prevailing legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). If and to the extent you provide health data to us, we process such data on the basis that it was manifestly made public by you (Article 9(2)(e) GDPR) or, where necessary, we obtain your express consent (Article 9(2)(a) GDPR).

4.6. Processing of personal data based on our legitimate interests

We might also process the personal data provided in connection with using the HEAD Rebels Club App, registration and ordering (e.g. your name, billing and delivery address, e-mail address, telephone number, the serial number assigned to the ordered item as well as additional information on the goods that you purchased) to improve our products and services. In addition, we process the specified data categories for internal statistical and operational purposes, for example, to measure and understand trends related to demographics, users, user interests, purchases and other trends among our users, as well as for recall actions and for the quick processing of complaints based on our legitimate interests. The data may also be processed for research, precautionary, defence and other measures in particular with regard to non-compliance with this Privacy Policy, illegal actions or suspected fraud, or to take measures in situations in which the potential risk of violation of our legal rights or the rights of other persons exists. You may object to the use of your data at any time if the processing serves the purposes of direct marketing (for details please see sections 4.7 and 9).

4.7. Newsletter

Below you find a description on how we generally handle your personal data when you sign up for our newsletter. Please note that this process may not apply entirely in all cases (for example the personal data that we collect may differ). In case of any deviations, you can find all the deviating information under the respective section of our Privacy Policy (for example in section 2.3.2 if you signed up via Facebook/Instagram lead ads or sections 4.3 in case you made a purchase on head.com).

Please note that all newsletter subscribers have to be at least 16 years old. Based on your freely granted consent to receive the newsletter and after confirmation of the double opt-in e-mail by clicking on the button contained therein, your first name, your e-mail address and your IP address as well as your country and language (as explained in detail below) and optionally the fields that are of particular interest to you (or any additional information that you optionally provide if you updating your newsletter profile)  will be processed by us for the purposes of sending (i) personalised marketing and product information related to goods and services from the HEAD Group’s sport product range, (ii) personalised promotional information and news matching your interest categories and/or based on your website use (for example, frequent viewing of products within your selected interest categories and geolocalisation), (iii) satisfaction surveys regarding services, products and advice of the HEAD Group and demand analyses, (iv) contests, coupons, discount campaigns and prize games and (v) electronic greeting cards via e-mail.

When we collect your email address in the context of a sale of a product or a service, we may use your email address also for direct marketing of similar products or services (via our newsletter), provided that you have not opted-out of this communication. You have the right to opt-out at any time and we will provide you with an opt-out in all such communications, e.g. via a unsubscribe link. The legal basis for this processing operation is our legitimate interest, Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR as described in section 4.6.

Based on your IP address and with the aid of our “Browser Region Managers”, we can locate the region where you are located when you are using the website. This information will be saved to direct you to the regional subpage and newsletter sign up applicable to your country of residence. We do not determine your exact location while doing this. You can manually change your allocated country before signing up to our newsletter by using the country drop down menu on our website or after you have already signed up for our newsletter by updating your preferences.  (instead of allocating the country/language via the Browser Regional Manager).

You can update your newsletter profile preference any time (for example, via a link at the end of every newsletter). Possible fields include: surname, gender, date of birth, address, further details regarding your particular fields of interest, your athletic preferences and abilities). After you have updated your preferences we will use the updated data instead of the previous one as described in this Privacy Policy. This means that if you change your country settings for example from Germany to France you will receive the French newsletter instead of the German newsletter.

If you would like to change your country settings to America or Canada, please go to the American or Canadian HEAD website and sign up for the respective newsletter there. Note that different legal requirements apply to these websites due to national legislation. For more information, please refer to the privacy policies on the respective websites.

Personalised promotional material and news is sent based on your IP address and your usage behaviour on the website. Based on your IP address and with the aid of our “Browser Region Managers”, we can send you regional offers to the extent to which you have consented. In the process, we also analyse the frequency of clicks solely for your selected areas of interest “ski, snowboard, sportswear, tennis, padel, squash, racquetball, swimming” and, for example, in the case of frequent use of the “Snowboard” section, send you information from this area of interest via e-mail based on the declaration of consent described above. The analysis is carried out based on the following assessment methods and sequence of preferences: The data regarding your usage behaviour on the website is compared anonymously with the empirical values for similar data sets in our database. Based on this, we calculate the probabilities of potential future contacts and purchases with us. We can therefore also make corresponding offers and send information that, based on our experience, was of interest to customers with similar behaviour. In the process, we can also create anonymised and pseudonymised user profiles.

We also store your IP address and the date and time of registration upon subscribing to the newsletter. This is only saved to serve as proof in the event that a third party misuses an e-mail address and subscribes to receive the newsletter without the knowledge of the rightful owner. Personal data collected when subscribing to the newsletter is not forwarded to third parties for marketing purposes.

You may revoke your consent to receive newsletters at any time with effect for the future without specifying the reasons (for example, via an unsubscribe link at the end of every newsletter or via e-mail at privacy@head.com). Please note that in some cases you may continue to receive the newsletter for a few days after unsubscribing (especially if you unsubscribe via our privacy email address).

If you forward our newsletter to third parties, you must comply with legal provisions and obtain the consent of the recipient in advance. If a third party lodges claims against us due to the forwarding of a newsletter by you, you shall indemnify and hold us harmless against all claims associated therewith, including penalties and costs of legal defence.

 

4.8. Prize games and contests

In connection with the prize games, contests or promotional activities that we offer, we will use your personal data solely for holding the prize game, contest or promotional activity (for example, to contact winners, to send the prize), unless you have granted us your explicit consent for use in other ways (for example receipt of our newsletter, publication of your review). You will receive the specific information for the processing of your personal data in detail in the T&C of the respective prize game/contest. Your data will be stored in the Salesforce Service Cloud and Salesforce Marketing Cloud. For more information about Salesforce see 2.9.

Please note that if you register for our newsletter in connection with your participation in one of our prize games or contests, the information provided under 4.6 applies mutatis mutandis with the following deviations:

      • We collect your last name and country (in addition to your first name, email address and IP address) and
      • You must confirm that you are at least 18 years old (instead of 16 years).

If your personal data is forwarded outside of the EU/EEA, we guarantee an adequate measure of security by forwarding them to countries that have an appropriate level of protection based on confirmation by the European Commission, or by concluding an appropriately formulated contract between us and the legal person outside of the EU/EEA who receives the data. In other cases, the data transfer might be based art. 49 para. 1 GDPR. You may receive a copy of the suitable guarantees by sending an e-mail to us at privacy@head.com.
