1.1 We are pleased that you are using our application (hereinafter "App"). In the following, we inform you about the handling of your personal data when using our App. Personal data are all data with which you can be personally identified.
1.2 The responsible party for data processing concerning this App within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is DIE RINGE GmbH, Stolberger Straße 194 d, 50933 Cologne, Germany, Tel.: +491782011570, E-Mail: hello@dieringe.com. The person responsible for the processing of personal data is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data.
1.3 For security reasons and to protect your data from unauthorized or unlawful access, alteration or disclosure, we encrypt the data during transit and at rest.
2.1 Google Sign-In
In our App, you can sign up to create a customer account or register using the "Google Sign-In" service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google") within the framework of the so-called single sign-on technique if you have a Google profile. The Google sign-in function is recognized in the App by the buttons "Sign in with Google", "Log in with Google Account" or "Sign in with Google".
This establishes a direct connection between the App and Google's servers. As a result, Google receives information that you have accessed the corresponding page in the App, even if you do not have a Google profile or are not currently logged in to Google. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly to a Google server and stored there; this may also involve a transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. These data processing operations are carried out according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on Google's legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising based on browsing behavior.
Using the Google sign-in button, you also have the option of logging in or registering in the App using your Google user data. Only if you give your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR before the login process based on a corresponding notice about the exchange of data with Google, we will receive from Google, depending on your personal privacy settings on Google, the general and publicly accessible information stored in your profile. This information includes the user ID, name, profile picture, age, and gender.
Please note that after changes to Google's privacy policy and terms of use, when granting consent, your profile pictures, user IDs of your friends, and the friend list may also be transmitted if they have been marked as "public" in your Google privacy settings. The data transmitted by Google to us is used to create a user account with the necessary data (salutation, first name, last name, address data, country, email address, date of birth) if you have released them on Google. Conversely, based on your consent, data (e.g., information about your surfing or purchasing behavior) can be transmitted from us to your Google profile. The granted consent can be revoked at any time by sending a message to the responsible party mentioned at the beginning of this privacy policy.
For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google, as well as your related rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de

Please note that after changes to Facebook's privacy policy and terms of use, when granting consent, your profile pictures, user IDs of your friends, and the friend list may also be transmitted if they have been marked as "public" in your Facebook privacy settings. The data transmitted by Facebook to us is used to create a user account with the necessary data (salutation, first name, last name, address data, country, email address, date of birth) if you have released them on Facebook. Conversely, based on your consent, data (e.g., information about your surfing or purchasing behavior) can be transmitted from us to your Facebook profile.

- Without consent
Our offer includes so-called Location-Based Services, with which we provide you with special offers tailored to your respective location. Your location is only transmitted to us when you use app features that we can only offer you with knowledge of your location. This function uses your location data via GPS and your IP address in anonymized form for service provision.
For advertising purposes, market research, and demand-oriented design of the offer, we create usage profiles using pseudonyms. This data is not combined with other personal data. You can object to this in the app settings, effective for the future. Alternatively, you can send your objection to the email address provided in the imprint.
When contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The data collected when using a contact form in the app is evident from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for making contact and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request. This is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved and provided that no statutory retention obligations conflict.
In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, personal data is still collected and processed if you provide it to us for the performance of a contract or the opening of a customer account. The data collected is evident from the respective input forms. You can delete your customer account at any time by sending a message to the above address of the responsible party. We store and use the data you provide for contract processing. After the complete processing of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked in consideration of tax and commercial retention periods and deleted after these periods have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is legally permitted and about which we inform you accordingly below.
9.1 To process contracts concluded via the app, we work with the following service provider(s), who support us wholly or partially in the execution of concluded contracts. Certain personal data is transmitted to these service providers in accordance with the following information.
The personal data we collect is passed on to the transport company commissioned with the delivery during contract processing, as far as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. We pass on your payment data to the commissioned credit institution within the scope of payment processing, as far as this is necessary for payment processing. If payment service providers are used, we explicitly inform you about them below. The legal basis for the transfer of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
9.2 Use of specific service providers for contract processing and execution
- Billbee

Name, address, and, if applicable, other personal data are passed on to the provider in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the sole purpose of processing the online order. Your data is only passed on to the extent that it is actually necessary for processing the order.
9.3 - Apple Pay
If you choose the payment method "Apple Pay" of Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment processing is carried out via the "Apple Pay" function of your iOS, watchOS, or macOS-operated device by charging a payment card stored in "Apple Pay." Apple Pay uses security features integrated into your device's hardware and software to protect your transactions. Therefore, to release a payment, the input of a code previously set by you and the verification using the "Face ID" or "Touch ID" function of your device is required.
For the purpose of payment processing, your information provided during the ordering process, along with information about your order, is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts this data again with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay for processing the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website where the purchase was made can access the payment data. Once the payment is made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm the success of the payment.
If personal data is processed in the described transmissions, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Apple stores anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymization completely excludes personal reference. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve "Apple Pay" and other Apple products and services.
If you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made via Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate through an encrypted channel on Apple servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can identify you personally. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to "Wallet & Apple Pay" and disable "Allow Payments on Mac."
Further information on data protection at Apple Pay can be found at the following web address: https://support.apple.com
- Google Pay
If you choose the payment method "Google Pay" of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), the payment processing is carried out via the "Google Pay" application on your mobile device running at least Android 4.4 ("KitKat") and equipped with an NFC function by charging a payment card stored in Google Pay or a verified payment system (e.g., PayPal). For the release of a payment via Google Pay in the amount of more than €25, unlocking your mobile device with the respective verification measure (e.g., facial recognition, password, fingerprint, or pattern) is required.
For the purpose of payment processing, your information provided during the ordering process, along with information about your order, is transmitted to Google. Google then forwards your payment information stored in Google Pay in the form of a one-time transaction number to the originating website, which verifies a completed payment. This transaction number does not contain any information about the real payment data of your payment method stored in Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a one-time valid numeric token. In all transactions via Google Pay, Google merely acts as an intermediary for processing the payment. The transaction is carried out exclusively between the user and the originating website by charging the payment method stored in Google Pay.
If personal data is processed in the described transmissions, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Google reserves the right to collect, store, and analyze certain transaction-specific information for each transaction made via Google Pay. This includes the date, time, and amount of the transaction, merchant location and description, a description of the purchased goods or services provided by the merchant, photos you attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or sender and recipient, the payment method used, your description of the reason for the transaction, and, if applicable, the offer associated with the transaction.
According to Google, this processing is carried out exclusively in accordance with Art. 6 para.1 lit. f GDPR based on the legitimate interest in proper invoicing, verification of transaction data, and optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.
Google also reserves the right to merge the processed transaction data with further information collected and stored by Google when using other Google services.

When choosing a payment method from the provider, in which you make an advance payment (e.g., credit card payment), your payment data provided during the order process (including name, address, bank and card information, currency, and transaction number) as well as information about the content of your order will be passed on to the provider according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. In this case, the disclosure of your data is exclusively for the purpose of processing the payment with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.
When selecting a payment method in which the provider makes an advance payment (e.g., invoice or installment purchase or direct debit), you will also be asked during the ordering process to provide certain personal data (first and last name, street, house number, postal code, city, date of birth, email address, telephone number, possibly data on an alternative payment method).
To safeguard our legitimate interest in determining the creditworthiness of our customers, this data will be forwarded by us to the provider for the purpose of a credit check in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The provider checks, based on the personal data you provide and other data (such as shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, payment experiences), whether the selected payment option can be granted with regard to payment and/or default risks.
The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical method. The calculation of score values includes, among other things but not exclusively, address data.
You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to us or the provider. However, the provider may still be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for the proper payment processing in accordance with the contract.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
You can revoke your consent to the storage and use of your personal data for receiving our push notifications and the previously described statistical collection at any time with effect for the future.

Google Ads Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, as part of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use the Google Ads offering to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites using advertising media (so-called Google Adwords). We can determine the success of individual advertising measures in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. Our goal is to show you advertisements that are of interest to you, make our website more interesting for you, and achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.
The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a Google-served Ads ad. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can personally identify users.
As part of the use of Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
Details on the processing initiated by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and Google's handling of data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
All the processing described above, especially setting cookies for reading information on the device used, is only carried out if you have given us your explicit consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your granted consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
You can also permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads Conversion Tracking by downloading and installing the Google browser plug-in available at the following link:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de
In order to address users more precisely in terms of their interests, whom we have received data from within the scope of business or business-like relationships, we use a customer matching function as part of Google Ads. For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (mainly email addresses and phone numbers) electronically to Google. Google does not have access to clear data but encrypts the information in the customer files automatically during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to assign it to existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This enables the display of personalized advertising across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.
The transmission of customer data to Google takes place exclusively if you have given us your explicit consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. Further information on Google's data protection measures in relation to the customer matching function can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=de&ref_topic=10550182

Google Analytics 4
This app uses Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), which allows for the analysis of app usage.
Google Analytics 4 uses so-called "cookies" by default. Cookies are text files stored on your device, enabling the analysis of your use of an app. The information collected by cookies about your use of the app (including the truncated IP address transmitted by your device, see below) is usually sent to and stored on a Google server, where it is processed. This may also involve transmitting information to servers of Google LLC in the USA and further processing of the information there.
When using Google Analytics 4, the IP address transmitted by your device during your use of the app is by default and automatically always collected and processed in an anonymized manner, so that a direct personal reference of the collected information is excluded. This automatic anonymization takes place by shortening the IP address transmitted by your device within member states of the European Union (EU) or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA).
On our behalf, Google uses this and other information to evaluate your use of the app, compile reports (Reports) on your app activities or usage behavior, and provide us with other services related to your app usage and internet usage. The truncated IP address transmitted by your device within the scope of Google Analytics 4 will not be merged with other Google data. The data collected during the use of Google Analytics 4 will be stored for 2 months and then deleted.
Google Analytics 4 also allows for the creation of statistics with statements about age, gender, and interests of app users using a special function called "demographic features," based on an evaluation of interest-based advertising and incorporating third-party information. This enables the identification and differentiation of user groups of the app for the purpose of targeted marketing measures. However, the data collected through the "demographic features" cannot be attributed to a specific person and therefore not to you personally. The data collected through the "demographic features" function will be stored for two months and then deleted.
All the processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for storing and reading information on the device you use for the app, only takes place if you have given us your explicit consent according to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your app usage. You can revoke your once-given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service via the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided in the app.
In connection with this app, the "UserIDs" function is also used as an extension of Google Analytics 4. By assigning individual UserIDs, we can have cross-device reports (Reports) created by Google (so-called "Cross Device Tracking"). This means that, with your corresponding consent to the use of Google Analytics 4 according to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, your usage behavior can also be analyzed across devices if you have set up a personal account on this app and are logged in with your related login data on various devices. The data collected in this way shows, among other things, on which device you first clicked on an ad and on which device the related conversion took place.
In connection with this app, the Google Signals service is also used as an extension of Google Analytics 4. With Google Signals, we can have cross-device reports (Reports) created by Google (so-called "Cross Device Tracking"). If you have activated the "personalized ads" in your settings in your Google account and linked your internet-enabled devices to your Google account, Google can analyze your usage behavior across devices and create data models based on this analysis, provided you have given your consent to the use of Google Analytics 4 according to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. This includes the logins and device types of all app users who were logged into a Google account and performed a conversion. The data shows, among other things, on which device you first clicked on an ad and on which device the related conversion took place. We do not receive any personal data from Google, but only statistics created based on Google Signals. You have the option to deactivate the "personalized ads" function in your Google account settings and thus disable the cross-device analysis in connection with Google Signals. To do this, please follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de
Further information about Google Signals can be found at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de
We have entered into a so-called order processing agreement with Google for our use of Google Analytics 4, which obliges Google to protect the data of our app users and not to pass it on to third parties.
To ensure compliance with the European data protection level even when data is possibly transmitted from the EU or EEA to the USA and further processed there, Google relies on the so-called standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which we have contractually agreed with Google.
For further legal information about Google Analytics 4, including a copy of the mentioned standard contractual clauses, please refer to the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de
Details on the processing initiated by Google Analytics 4 and Google's handling of app data can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
Google Ads Remarketing
