1. Collection, Use, and Processing of Personal Data
A log may be created for all accesses to the websites of Living4Style as well as for each retrieval of files stored on these websites. The following data may be stored: date and time of access or file retrieval, amount of data transferred, web browser used, requesting domain, and confirmation of a successful retrieval. The logging of this data is used exclusively for internal statistical and system-related purposes.
Other personal data is only collected and stored if you voluntarily provide it when registering a customer account, joining an interest group, or placing an order with your consent to this privacy policy. After the end of a usage contract, your data will be deleted unless legal retention periods must be observed. Once such periods expire, your personal data will be promptly deleted. Content data (e.g., account data) will be fully deleted once the user deletes their account. Personal sales/distribution data is considered accounting-relevant and is generally stored for 10 years, with the retention period beginning in accordance with § 147 (4) AO.
2. Use and Disclosure of Personal Data
Living4Style uses the data you provide only for processing usage contracts related to Living4Style's services, for technical administration, and possibly for responding to service inquiries. Living4Style only discloses your personal data to third parties if it is necessary for processing purchase contracts (e.g., logistics service providers).
However, if Living4Style is requested to provide information as part of an investigation by law enforcement authorities, other government agencies, or third parties, Living4Style may disclose the stored personal data. This applies in cases where there is suspicion of a criminal offense or other unlawful action that could result in liability for Living4Style, yourself, or third parties.
Beyond this, Living4Style will only disclose your personal data to third parties if you have previously given your explicit consent.
3. Other Uses of Personal Data

Living4Style does not rent or sell your personal data.
-
Living4Style does not use your data for advertising purposes, particularly not for sending targeted advertisements to you.
-
If Living4Style intends to use your personal data for such purposes in the future, your prior consent will be requested in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
4. Cookies
The Living4Style websites use "cookies" to make the sites more user-friendly and secure, as well as to enable faster navigation. Cookies help to statistically record the frequency of page views and general navigation. Some of these cookies are stored on your hard drive, mainly session cookies, which are automatically deleted from your hard drive.
You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser settings accordingly.
5. Google Analytics
The Living4Style websites use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies," text files stored on your computer, to help analyze your use of the website.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within the European Union or in other contracting states of the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
Google uses this information on behalf of the website operator to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings. However, doing so may result in limited functionality of the website. You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
This website uses Google Analytics with the "_anonymizeIp()" extension, ensuring that IP addresses are processed only in a shortened form to exclude direct personal identification.
6. Uptain
To improve interaction with visitors, we use a JavaScript plugin from uptain GmbH ("uptain Plugin" https://www.uptain.de). This allows us to analyze website usage and improve customer engagement (e.g., through dialogue windows).
We collect information about user behavior, including cursor movements, time spent on pages, clicked links, and entered data. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in direct marketing and website optimization (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The uptain GmbH acts strictly in accordance with our instructions. The collected information is not shared with third parties unless required by law. Personal data collected through the uptain plugin is deleted immediately after your visit.
