We herewith advise you that the transmission of data via the Internet (i.e., through e-mail communications)

The data processing controller on this website is:

VAUDE Sport GmbH & Co. KG
Vaude Straße 2
D-88069 Tettnang

Phone: +49-(0)-7542-5306-0
E-Mail: impressum@vaude.com

The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes

addresses, etc.).

Storage duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain

Information on data transfer to the USA and other non-EU countries

Among other things, we use tools of companies domiciled in the United States or other from a data
protection perspective non-secure non-EU countries. If these tools are active, your personal data may
potentially be transferred to these non-EU countries and may be processed there. We must point out that in
these countries, a data protection level that is comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed. For
instance, U.S. enterprises are under a mandate to release personal data to the security agencies and you as
the data subject do not have any litigation options to defend yourself in court. Hence, it cannot be ruled out
that U.S. agencies (e.g., the Secret Service) may process, analyze, and permanently archive your personal
data for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.

Revocation of your consent to the processing of data
A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also
revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness
of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct
advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE
THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON
GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED
ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS
BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE
WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO
PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA,
THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE
PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION
PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING,
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR
THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE
EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL
DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES
(OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory
agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the
place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other
administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.

Right to data portability
You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically process on the basis of your
consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine
readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done
only if it is technically feasible.

Information about, rectification and eradication of data

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at any time demand
information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the
processing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradicated. If you have
questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to
contact us at any time.

Right to demand processing restrictions

You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is
concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in
the following cases:

In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need
some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to
demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to
demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal
entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead
of its eradication.
If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be
weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the
right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving –
may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to
protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by
the European Union or a member state of the EU.

SSL and/or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or
inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption
program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser
switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted payment transactions on this website

If you are under an obligation to share your payment information (e.g. account number if you give us the
authority to debit your bank account) with us after you have entered into a fee-based contract with us, this
information is required to process payments.

Payment transactions using common modes of paying (Visa/MasterCard, debit to your bank account) are
processed exclusively via encrypted SSL or TLS connections. You can recognize an encrypted connection by
checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the
appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

If the communication with us is encrypted, third parties will not be able to read the payment information you
share with us.

when the browser closes. If cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be limited.

In the event that third-party cookies are used or if cookies are used for analytical purposes, we will
separately notify you in conjunction with this Data Protection Policy and, if applicable, ask for your consent.

These functions are offered by the so-called "TikTok pixel" of the social network TikTok, which is operated by TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland and TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited ("TikTok").

When the social media element is active, a direct connection is established between your terminal device and the TikTok server. TikTok thereby receives information about your visit to this website.

When such an action is performed, your browser sends an HTTP request from the cookie to the TikTok server via the TikTok Pixel, which transmits certain information about the action. Through this
transmission, TikTok can create statistics about the usage behavior on our website after forwarding from a TikTok ad, which serve us to optimize our offer.
Insofar as consent has been obtained, the use of the above-mentioned service is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 TTDSG.
The consent can be revoked at any time.

We would like to point out that TikTok may use its own tracking tools.

TikTok uses email or other login or device information to identify users of our website and associate their actions with a TikTok user account. TikTok uses this data to display targeted and personalized advertising to its users and to create interest-based user profiles.
The collected data is anonymous and not visible to us and is only used to measure the effectiveness of ad placements.

n principle, your data will be processed within the EU or the EEA. For this purpose, a corresponding data protection agreement has been concluded with TikTok. If personal data is transferred to countries outside the EU or EEA, this is done within the framework of the Commission's model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries (i.e. standard contractual clauses).

Analysis tools and advertising

Matomo

This website uses the open-source web analysis service Matomo.

Through Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data on the use of our website-by-website visitors. This
enables us to find out, for instance, when which page views occurred and from which region they came. In
addition, we collect various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browser, and operating system used) and can
measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, etc.).

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in
the analysis of user patterns, in order to optimize the operator’s web offerings and advertising. If appropriate
consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and §
25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s
end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any
time.

IP anonymization
For analysis with Matomo we use IP anonymization. Your IP address is shortened before the analysis, so that
it is no longer clearly assignable to you.

Hosting
We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers so that all analysis data remains with us and is not passed
on.

WP Statistics

This website uses the WP Statistics analysis tool to evaluate visitor accesses statistically. The provider is
Veronalabs, Tatari 64, 10134, Tallinn, Estonia (https://veronalabs.com).

WP Statistics can be used to analyze the use of our website. In doing so, WP Statistics records, among other
things, log files (IP address, referrer, browser used, origin of the user, search engine used) and actions that
the website visitors have taken on the site (e.g. clicks and views).

The data collected with WP Statistics is stored exclusively on our own server.

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the anonymized
analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both our websites and our advertising. If appropriate consent
has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1)
TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s end
device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any
time.

IP anonymization
We use WP Statistics with anonymized IP. Your IP address is shortened so that it can no longer be directly
assigned to you.

Google Ads

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online promotional program of Google Ireland
Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads enables us to display ads in the Google search engine or on third-party websites, if the user
enters certain search terms into Google (keyword targeting). It is also possible to place targeted ads based
on the user data Google has in its possession (e.g., location data and interests; target group targeting). As the
website operator, we can analyze these data quantitatively, for instance by analyzing which search terms
resulted in the display of our ads and how many ads led to respective clicks.

The use of these services occurs on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1)
TTDSG. You may revoke your consent at any time.

Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European
Commission. Details can be found here:
https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and
https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Google Ads Remarketing

This website uses the functions of Google Ads Remarketing. The provider of these solutions is Google
Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

With Google Ads Remarketing, we can assign people who interact with our online offering to specific target
groups in order to subsequently display interest-based advertising to them in the Google advertising
network (remarketing or retargeting).

Moreover, it is possible to link the advertising target groups generated with Google Ads Remarketing to
device encompassing functions of Google. This makes it possible to display interest-based customized
advertising messages, depending on your prior usage and browsing patterns on a device (e.g., cell phone) in a
manner tailored to you as well as on any of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC).

If you have a Google account, you have the option to object to personalized advertising under the following
link:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The use of these services occurs on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1)
TTDSG. You may revoke your consent at any time.

For further information and the pertinent data protection regulations, please consult the Data Privacy
Policies of Google at:
https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de.

Formation of Target Groups with Customer Reconciliation
For the formation of target groups, we use, among other things, the Google Ads Remarketing customer
reconciliation feature. To achieve this, we transfer certain customer data (e.g., email addresses) from our
customer lists to Google. If the respective customers are Google users and are logged into their Google
accounts, matching advertising messages within the Google network (e.g., YouTube, Gmail or in a search

marketing campaigns, for analysis purposes and to appeal to customers and potential customers in a manner specific to
their target group. Data processing takes place on servers within the European Union.

We use this system in particular for sending e-mail communications (e.g. in connection with sending newsletters).

Using the provider Microsoft and the system, carrying out statistical collection and analysis, as well as logging
registration processes for communication by e-mail, are based on your consent to e-mail communication via Microsoft Dynamics 365 Cloud for Marketing. Our interest lies in providing a user-friendly and secure system that serves our business interests
and meets the expectations of our users.

E-Mail-Tracking: E-Mail-Tracking: Statistical surveys also include determining whether newsletters are opened,
when they are opened, and which links are opened. Although this information could technically be assigned to individual
newsletter recipients, an analysis of personal data is not provided.

Double opt-in and logging: The registration for our newsletter takes place in a double opt-in process. After registration,
the user will receive an e-mail asking for a confirmation of registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one

if their interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

Plugins and Tools

YouTube with expanded data protection integration

Our website embeds videos of the website YouTube. The website operator is Google Ireland Limited
(“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in the expanded data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that
YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video.
Nevertheless, this does not necessarily mean that the sharing of data with YouTube partners can be ruled
out as a result of the expanded data protection mode. For instance, regardless of whether you are watching a
video, YouTube will always establish a connection with the Google DoubleClick network.

As soon as you start to play a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers will be
established. As a result, the YouTube server will be notified, which of our pages you have visited. If you are
logged into your YouTube account while you visit our site, you enable YouTube to directly allocate your
browsing patterns to your personal profile. You have the option to prevent this by logging out of your
YouTube account.

Furthermore, after you have started to play a video, YouTube will be able to place various cookies on your
device or comparable technologies for recognition (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way YouTube will be
able to obtain information about this website’s visitors. Among other things, this information will be used to
generate video statistics with the aim of improving the user friendliness of the site and to prevent attempts
to commit fraud.

Under certain circumstances, additional data processing transactions may be triggered after you have
started to play a YouTube video, which are beyond our control.

The use of YouTube is based on our interest in presenting our online content in an appealing manner.
Pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this is a legitimate interest. If appropriate consent has been obtained, the
processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the
consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s end device (e.g., device
fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.

triggered automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the site. For this analysis, reCAPTCHA

initiated by the user). The data tracked during such analyses are forwarded to Google.

reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not alerted that an analysis is
underway.

Data are stored and analyzed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate
interest in the protection of the operator’s websites against abusive automated spying and against SPAM. If
appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a)
GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in
the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be

Data processing

Integration of services and content from OUTTRA

a) Display product availability
In order to check the local product availability, we use OUTTRA components from 81 MEDIA GmbH, Ziegelbrennerstr. 5, 73074 Stuttgart.
The components use the IP-Address of the user only for the purposes of sending him/her this information. The IP-Address is
therefore essential in order to inform about the product availability close to the user.
Upon choosing “buy local” the IP-Address of the user at the servers of OUTTRA is anonymized. With the anonymized IP-Address
a consultation with a data bank takes place, which allows for a gross localization of the user on the basis of the
not-anonymized part of the IP-Address. Subsequently, the user will see the local stores, where the products are available.
The legal basis for processing personal data is Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in advertising and
sales of our products, as well as in a functionality of our website.
Should checking the product availability be connected with entering a sales agreement, the legal basis for processing
personal data is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR.
According to Art. 21 (1) GDPR you have a right to object for the future, at any time, the processing of personal data
based on Article 6(1) lit. f) GDPR. The objection can be made in particular against processing for direct marketing purposes.
After ending your browser session, no personal data from the components will be processed by 81 MEDIA GmbH or by
VAUDE Sport GmbH & Co. KG.

b) Google-Maps
Our website uses "Google Maps" to display our location and to provide directions. This is a service provided by Google Inc.,
1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 (hereinafter: "Google").
Google is certified in accordance with the "EU-US Privacy Shield" and thus undertakes to comply with the data protection
requirements of the EU when processing data in the USA.
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
Google guarantees that it will follow the EU's data protection regulations when processing data in the United States.

To enable the display of certain locations on our website, a connection to the Google server in the USA is established
whenever our website is accessed.
If you access the Google Maps components integrated into our website, Google will store a cookie on your device via your browser. Your user settings and data are processed to display our location and create a route description. We cannot prevent Google from using servers in the USA.
The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in optimizing the functionality of our website.
By connecting to Google in this way, Google can determine from which website your request has been sent and to which
IP address the directions are transmitted.

If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by making the
appropriate settings in your browser. Already stored cookies can also be deleted at any time. The settings for this depend
on the respective browser. In the case of flash cookies, processing cannot be prevented by the browser settings, but
by the corresponding setting of the flash player. If you prevent the installation of cookies or restrict their processing,
this may cause the display of the dealer locations to be not fully usable.
Further, according to Art. 21 (1) GDPR you have a right to object for the future, at any time, the processing of personal
data based on Article 6(1) lit. f) GDPR.
In addition, the use of Google Maps and the information obtained via Google Maps is governed by the Google Terms of Use
and the Terms and Conditions for Google Maps.
Google offers further information, in particular on the possibilities of preventing the use of data, under the following link:
https://policies.google.com/privacy

c) Booking an appointment

To perform this function, OUTTRA stores the first name, last name, e-mail and telephone number in encrypted form in the
database and sends this data to the dealer at which the appointment booking was requested.

The legal basis for processing personal data as outlined above is Art. 6 (1) lit f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in
advertising and sales of products and services, as well as in the functionality of the website required for this.
According to Art. 21 GDPR you have a right to object at any time to the future processing of your personal data based on
Article 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. The objection can be made in particular against processing for direct marketing purposes.
