Privacy Policy
We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for the management of Premium Bodywear AG. The use of the Internet pages of Premium Bodywear AG is generally possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject, always takes place in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Premium Bodywear AG. With this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, Premium Bodywear AG has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions can in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, such as by telephone.
1. Definitions
The data protection declaration of Premium Bodywear AG is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, among other things, the following terms:
a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. 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 a natural 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 authorized to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

4. Cookies
The Internet pages of Premium Bodywear AG use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, Premium Bodywear AG can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
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 our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.
5. Collection of General Data and Information
The website of Premium Bodywear AG collects a series of general data and information with each visit by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information are stored in the server’s log files. The following data may be collected: (1) the types and versions of browsers used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, Premium Bodywear AG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore analyzed by Premium Bodywear AG both statistically and with the aim of enhancing data protection and data security within our company, ultimately ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
6. Registration on Our Website
The data subject has the opportunity to register on the website of the controller with the indication of personal data. The personal data transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the transfer to one or more processors, such as a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal purposes attributable to the controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date, and time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the investigation of committed offenses. Insofar, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. A transfer of these data to third parties does not take place in principle, unless there is a legal obligation to transfer or the transfer serves the prosecution.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject contents or services that, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.
The controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to what personal data about the data subject is stored. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. The entirety of the controller’s employees are available to the data subject in this respect as contact persons.
a) Registration Function
Users can create a user account. As part of the registration, the necessary mandatory information is communicated to the users and processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of providing the user account. The processed data includes, in particular, the login information (name, password, and an email address). The data entered during registration is used for the purposes of using the user account and its purpose. Users can be informed by email about information relevant to their user account, such as technical changes. If users have terminated their user account, their data will be deleted with regard to the user account, subject to a legal retention obligation. It is the responsibility of the users to secure their data before the end of the contract after termination. We are entitled to irretrievably delete all data stored by the user during the term of the contract. As part of the use of our registration and login functions as well as the use of the user account, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the user’s interest in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. These data are not generally disclosed to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c. GDPR. The IP addresses are anonymized or deleted at the latest after 7 days.
7. Contact Option via the Website
The website of Premium Bodywear AG contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no disclosure of this personal data to third parties.
8. Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data
The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as required by the European legislator or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the storage purpose is no longer applicable or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.
9. Rights of the Data Subject
a) Right to Confirmation
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, he or she may at any time contact an employee of the controller.
b) Right to Information
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller free information about the personal data stored about him or her and a copy of this information at any time.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to know whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to information, he or she may at any time contact an employee of the controller.
c) Right to Rectification
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to demand the immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data — including by means of a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may at any time contact an employee of the controller.
d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to demand from the controller the immediate deletion of personal data concerning him or her, provided that one of the following reasons applies and the processing is not necessary:
– The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
– The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
– The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
– The personal data has been unlawfully processed.
– The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.

If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the deletion of personal data stored by Premium Bodywear AG, he or she can contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Premium Bodywear AG will ensure that the deletion request is complied with immediately.
If the personal data has been made public by Premium Bodywear AG and our company is the controller according to Art. 17(1) GDPR, Premium Bodywear AG will take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and implementation costs, to inform other data controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the deletion of all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data, unless the processing is necessary. The employee of Premium Bodywear AG will take the necessary steps on a case-by-case basis.
e) Right to Restriction of Processing
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to demand from the controller the restriction of processing if one of the following conditions is met:
– The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
– The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.
– The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
– The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Premium Bodywear AG, he or she can contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Premium Bodywear AG will arrange for the restriction of processing.
f) Right to data portability
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided by the data subject to a responsible party, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another responsible party without hindrance from the responsible party to whom the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter a DS-GVO or Art. 9 para. 2 letter a DS-GVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter b DS-GVO and the processing is carried out using automated procedures, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the responsible party.
Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 para. 1 DS-GVO, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one responsible party to another, insofar as this is technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.
To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject can contact an employee of Premium Bodywear AG at any time.
g) Right to object
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object at any time, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them, which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letters e or f DS-GVO. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
In the event of an objection, Premium Bodywear AG will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
If Premium Bodywear AG processes personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Premium Bodywear AG processing for direct marketing purposes, Premium Bodywear AG will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them by Premium Bodywear AG for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 DS-GVO, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject can contact any employee of Premium Bodywear AG or another employee directly. The data subject is also free to exercise their right to object in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, using automated procedures that use technical specifications.
h) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the responsible party, or (2) is permissible under Union or Member State law to which the responsible party is subject and that law contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is made with the explicit consent of the data subject.
If the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the responsible party or (2) is made with the explicit consent of the data subject, Premium Bodywear AG will take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the responsible party, to present their own position, and to challenge the decision.

10. Data Protection Provisions for the Use and Application of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)
The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics (with anonymization function) component on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, compilation, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects data about which website a data subject came to a website from (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is primarily used to optimize a website and to analyze the cost-benefit ratio of internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The data controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analytics via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our website is from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google enables an analysis of the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, is called up, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google becomes aware of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and to enable commission settlements.
By means of the cookie, personal information, such as the access time, the location from which an access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transfer this personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and relating to the use of this website as well as the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their control, there is the option of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail under this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
11. Legal Basis for Processing
Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the execution of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DS-GVO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were injured and his name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GVO. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. Such processing operations are particularly permitted to us because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the data controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 DS-GVO).
12. Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f DS-GVO, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.
13. Duration for Which Personal Data is Stored The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of the 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.
14. Legal or Contractual Regulations for the Provision of Personal Data;
Necessity for Contract Conclusion; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Non-Provision We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
15. Existence of Automated Decision-Making As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
This privacy policy has been generated by the privacy policy generator of the DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which acts as an external data protection officer in Kempten, in cooperation with the lawyer for IT and data protection law Christian Solmecke.
