In part, we use external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our direction and guidance and are regularly inspected. In the event that we draw on contracted service providers for individual functions of our offer or wish to use your data for advertising purposes, we will inform you in detail below about the respective processes.

You have the following rights with respect to your personal data:
(a) Right of access (Art. 15 of the GDPR),
You may request comprehensive information about the data relating to you and the circumstances of its processing, such as the purposes for which this data is processed or the duration of its storage.
(b) Right to rectification (Art. 16 of the GDPR) or erasure (Art. 17 of the GDPR)
You have the right to request that any inaccurate personal data concerning you be corrected.
(c) Right to erasure, Art. 17 of the GDPR
You may request that we delete your personal data if such data is no longer necessary for legal reasons or may no longer be processed.
(d) Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 of the GDPR)
You may request a restriction on processing for the period required to verify the accuracy of the data if the accuracy of the data is disputed between you and us. Additionally, if you have an existing right to erasure, you may request restricted processing instead of erasure. Furthermore, if the data is no longer necessary for the purposes we pursue, but you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, as well as if the successful exercise of an objection between us and you is still disputed.
(e) Right to object to processing, Art. 21 of the GDPR
If personal data is processed for the performance of tasks carried out in the public interest (Art. 6(1)(e) of the GDPR) or for the purposes of legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), you may object to the processing of your personal data at any time with future effect. In the event of an objection, we must cease any further processing of your data for the aforementioned purposes, unless there are compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
(f) Right to data portability, Art. 20 of the GDPR
You have the right to request that we provide you with your personal data in a commonly used, machine-readable format or to have it transferred to another data controller.
(g) The right not to be subject to automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling, Art. 22 of the GDPR
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – if that decision produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
An automated decision is permitted in exceptional cases if you have either (i) previously given your explicit consent, or (ii) the decision is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us, or (iii) applicable laws permit it and those laws include appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
In cases (i) and (ii), we will take appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests. This includes allowing you to explain your position, challenge the automated decision, and request that one of our employees review the matter personally.
Note: No automated decisions are made on this website.
(h) You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority regarding our processing of your personal data.
Of course, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority at any time if you believe that our processing of your personal data violates the GDPR.

However, you may also contact any other data protection supervisory authority.
We implement technical and organizational security measures on our websites to protect the personal data we store from unauthorized access by third parties, loss, or misuse, and to ensure secure data transmission. We would like to point out that, due to the nature of the Internet and email transmission, the transfer of information may result in unintended access by third parties. It is therefore also your responsibility to protect your data against misuse through encryption or other means. Our websites contain links to other websites operated by third parties. We are not responsible for the content or data processing practices of these other websites.
When you use the website for informational purposes only – that is, if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information – we process only the personal data that your browser transmits to our server.
It is necessary for World of Spices to process the data specified in section 6 of this privacy policy in order to ensure the ongoing functionality and security of our website’s IT systems and technology. We also use the data to provide the website to you in your preferred language and to supply law enforcement authorities with the information required for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. The legal basis for the processing of this data is Article 6 (1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), based on our legitimate interest in providing you with a functional and user-friendly website. You may object to the processing at any time with effect for the future; see section 4(e) of this privacy policy.
The data referred to in Section 6 of this Privacy Policy will be processed and, in particular, stored for as long as necessary to achieve the aforementioned purpose. If data is required to provide the website, this requirement ceases once the respective session has ended. Your data will then be automatically deleted.
If data is stored in log files, this is generally done for a maximum of seven (7) days. If the aforementioned data is stored for a longer period, your IP address will be deleted or anonymized in such cases, so that it is no longer possible to identify the Internet connection from which the request originated. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, you have no right to object.
To the extent that we analyze usage patterns on our website beyond this and in a manner permitted by law without express consent, we use only anonymized data that does not allow for the identification of individual persons, in order to improve the website’s usability and the user experience for our visitors.
You cannot order products on this website. If you inquire about purchasing our products via the contact form or place an order through one of our other websites but submit a complaint regarding the purchased products via this website, the legal basis for processing the customer inquiry is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. We provide information regarding data processing related to the purchase of products in the privacy policies of the other websites.
If you enter data into the designated fields of the contact form, this data will be transmitted to us and processed by us. The data in question includes the following: Subject, Company, First Name, Last Name, Street, House Number, ZIP Code, City, Email Address, Phone Number or Mobile Number, as well as the message you enter.
For any other enquiries you make via email, the legal basis for the processing referred to above is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The legitimate interest is to communicate with existing and potential customers and to provide customer service for the purposes of customer acquisition and retention.
We generally process the data subject’s personal data for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as required by a legal obligation. If the purpose of storage no longer applies or the prescribed retention period expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements. Detailed information on retention periods can be found in the respective descriptions of the individual data processing operations.
Notable legal obligations include, in particular, the retention periods set forth in the German Commercial Code (HGB) or the German Fiscal Code (AO), as well as the collection of evidence in accordance with statutory statutes of limitations. Under the statute of limitations provisions of the German Civil Code (BGB), these limitation periods can in some cases be as long as 30 years; the standard limitation period is three years.
This website is intended solely to present the Fuchs Group. Orders for products or the provision of other services are handled through other websites. Information regarding data processing in connection with orders for products or other services can be found in the privacy policies of those other websites.
To protect our website from spam and misuse, we use the “Friendly Captcha” tool provided by Friendly Captcha GmbH, Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Wörthsee, Germany.
Friendly Captcha is a privacy-friendly security solution that processes only the information technically necessary to prevent automated programs and scripts (so-called “bots”) from using websites, thereby protecting our website from misuse.
When you visit our website, your browser is given a math problem to solve. The complexity of the problem depends on various risk factors. Your device solves the problem – which uses certain system resources – and sends the result to our web server. The server then contacts the Friendly Captcha server via an interface and receives a response indicating whether the puzzle was solved correctly by your device. Depending on the result, we can apply security rules to requests made through our website and, for example, process them further or reject them.
In addition, your browser sends connection data, environmental data, interaction data, and functional data to Friendly Captcha. Friendly Captcha analyzes this data to determine the likelihood that the user is human or a bot and sends us the result. Depending on this result, we may treat access to our protected website or individual features as human or potentially automated.
All data is used exclusively for the detection and handling of potential bots and risks as described above. The purpose of this processing is therefore to ensure the security and proper functioning of our website.
Friendly Captcha does not use the data to identify individuals or for marketing purposes; in particular, it does not track users or create personal user profiles.
Friendly Captcha does not set or read cookies on your device and does not store any data in your browser’s persistent storage.
Friendly Captcha also does not store any personal data in a way that allows for permanent identification. The IP address is processed in a one-way hashed form – and is therefore pseudonymised – and is subsequently discarded.
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in connection with the use of Friendly Captcha is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest). Our legitimate interest lies in protecting our websites from unauthorised access by spam and bots, and thus in protecting them from mass attacks.
We use so-called ‘cookies’ on our website. These are text files that are stored on your computer system by your web browser when you visit our website. Each text file contains a unique string of characters that allows your web browser to be identified the next time you visit the website. These are stored on your computer and the data is transmitted from your computer to our website. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time, including automatically by adjusting the settings in your web browser.
In the following sections, ‘Essential Cookies’ (Section II.3) and ‘Statistical Cookies’ (Section II.2), we explain in detail whether a World of Spices (first-party cookie) or a third-party cookie is set, the purpose for which the data is processed, the nature of the data processed, whether data is transferred to a third country, the duration for which the cookie is stored, and the legal basis for setting the cookies and their subsequent processing.

We use the external consent management tool “Borlabs Cookie” provided by Borlabs GmbH, Hamburger Str. 11, 22083 Hamburg, Germany, to store the cookie settings you selected when you visited our website. The cookie is stored for 60 days.

The information generated by Borlabs’ cookie is not used to personally identify users of this website and is not passed on to Borlabs.
If you do not consent to the use of non-essential features and cookies, this decision will be recorded in your browser via a cookie. As a result, only cookies necessary for the technically flawless and optimised functioning of the website will be set.

This website uses the open-source analytics service Matomo (InnoCraft Limited, 7 Waterloo Quay, PO625, 6140 Wellington, New Zealand) for tracking purposes, which anonymises your IP address. Matomo uses cookies for this purpose.
The purpose of using this tool is to compile statistics on visits to our website. This includes information such as language settings, timestamps, bounce rates, browsers used and their plugins, search engines used and search terms, and IP addresses.
Information about visits to our website is not shared with third parties. This does not apply to anonymised data.

You may withdraw your consent at any time without this affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out prior to withdrawal. You may withdraw consent that has already been given at any time with future effect by deactivating the cookie in the ‘Cookie Settings’.
