A  portion of the information is generated to guarantee the error free  provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user  patterns.

You  have the right to receive information about the source, recipients, and  purposes of your archived personal data at any time without having to  pay a fee for such disclosures. You also have the right to demand that  your data are rectified or eradicated. If you have consented to data  processing, you have the option to revoke this consent at any time,  which shall affect all future data processing. Moreover, you have the  right to demand that the processing of your data be restricted under  certain circumstances. Furthermore, you have the right to log a  complaint with the competent supervising agency.

Please do not hesitate to contact us at any time if you have questions about this or any other data protection related issues.

There is a  possibility that your browsing patterns will be statistically analyzed  when your visit this website. Such analyses are performed primarily with  what we refer to as analysis programs.

For detailed information about these analysis programs please consult our Data Protection Declaration below.

This website is hosted by an external  service provider (host). Personal data collected on this website are  stored on the servers of the host. These may include, but are not  limited to, IP addresses, contact requests, metadata and communications,  contract information, contact information, names, web page access, and  other data generated through a web site.

The host is used for the  purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing  customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and in the interest of secure, fast, and  efficient provision of our online services by a professional provider  (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

The operators of this website and its pages  take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Hence, we  handle your personal data as confidential information and in compliance  with the statutory data protection regulations and this Data Protection  Declaration.

Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal  information will be collected. Personal data comprises data that can be  used to personally identify you. This Data Protection Declaration  explains which data we collect as well as the purposes we use this data  for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the information is  collected.

We herewith advise you that the transmission of data  via the Internet (i.e., through e-mail communications) may be prone to  security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data against  third-party access.

The data processing controller on this website is:

JB Berlin Trading Agency e.K.
Friedrichstraße 95
10117 Berlin, Germany

Phone: +49 (0) 30 98591553
E-mail: info[at]jbbrl.com

The controller is the natural person or legal entity that  single-handedly or jointly with others makes decisions as to the  purposes of and resources for the processing of personal data (e.g.,  names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Unless a more specific storage period has  been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain  with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies.  If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to  data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other  legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or  commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion  will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

Among  other things, tools of companies domiciled in the United States or  other from a data protection perspective non-secure non-EU countries,  are integrated into our website. 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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We herewith object to the  use of contact information published in conjunction with the mandatory  information to be provided in our Site Notice to send us promotional and  information material that we have not expressly requested. The  operators of this website and its pages reserve the express right to  take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional  information, for instance via SPAM messages.

Our websites and pages use what the industry refers  to as “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that do not cause any  damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the  duration of a session (session cookies) or they are permanently archived  on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically  deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived  on your device until you actively delete them, or they are  automatically eradicated by your web browser.

In some cases, it  is possible that third-party cookies are stored on your device once you  enter our site (third-party cookies). These cookies enable you or us to  take advantage of certain services offered by the third party (e.g.,  cookies for the processing of payment services).

Cookies have a  variety of functions. Many cookies are technically essential since  certain website functions would not work in the absence of the cookies  (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). The purpose  of other cookies may be the analysis of user patterns or the display of  promotional messages.

Cookies, which are required for the  performance of electronic communication transactions (required cookies)  or for the provision of certain functions you want to use (functional  cookies, e.g., for the shopping cart function) or those that are  necessary for the optimization of the website (e.g., cookies that  provide measurable insights into the web audience), shall be stored on  the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited.  The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of  cookies to ensure the technically error free and optimized provision of  the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies  has been requested, the respective cookies are stored exclusively on the  basis of the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); this consent may be  revoked at any time.

You have the option to set up your browser  in such a manner that you will be notified any time cookies are placed  and to permit the acceptance of cookies only in specific cases. You may  also exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general or  activate the delete function for the automatic eradication of cookies  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.

This website uses the  cookie consent technology of Usercentrics to obtain your consent to the  storage of certain cookies on your device or for the use of specific  technologies, and to document the former in a data protection compliant  manner. The party offering this technology is Usercentrics GmbH,  Rosental 4, 80331 München, Germany, website: https://usercentrics.com/ (hereinafter referred to as “Usercentrics”).

Whenever you visit our website, the following personal data will be transferred to Usercentrics:

• Your declaration(s) of consent or your revocation of your declaration(s) of consent
• Your IP address
• Information about your browser
• Information about your device
• The date and time you visited our website

Moreover,  Usercentrics shall store a cookie in your browser to be able to  allocate your declaration(s) of consent or any revocations of the  former. The data that are recorded in this manner shall be stored until  you ask us to eradicate them, delete the Usercentrics cookie or until  the purpose for archiving the data no longer exists. This shall be  without prejudice to any mandatory legal retention periods.

Usercentrics  uses cookies to obtain the declarations of consent mandated by law. The  legal basis for the use of specific technologies is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Our company has executed a  Contract Data Processing Agreement with Usercentrics. This is an  agreement mandated by data privacy protection legislation that warrants  that Usercentrics processes all personal data of our website visitors  exclusively in compliance with our instructions and in compliance with  the GDPR.

For communication with our  customers and other third parties, one of the services we use is the  instant messaging service WhatsApp. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland  Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

The  communication is encrypted end-to-end (peer-to-peer), which prevents  WhatsApp or other third parties from gaining access to the communication  content. However, WhatsApp does gain access to metadata created during  the communication process (for example, sender, recipient, and time). We  would also like to point out that WhatsApp has stated that it shares  personal data of its users with its U.S.-based parent company Facebook.  Further details on data processing can be found in the WhatsApp privacy  policy at: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.

The  use of WhatsApp is based on our legitimate interest in communicating as  quickly and effectively as possible with customers, interested parties  and other business and contractual partners (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If a  corresponding consent has been requested, data processing is carried out  exclusively on the basis of the consent; this consent may be revoked at  any time with effect for the future.

The communication content  exchanged between and on WhatsApp remains with us until you request us  to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for which  the data is stored ceases to apply (e.g. after your request has been  processed). Mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods,  remain unaffected.

We use WhatsApp in the “WhatsApp Business” variant.

Data  transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses  (SCC) of the European Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/business-data-transfer-addendum?lang=en.

We have set up our WhatsApp accounts in such a way that there is no  automatic synchronization of data with the address book on the  smartphones in use.

We have  integrated plug-ins of the social network Facebook on this website. The  provider of this service is Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal  Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Whenever  you visit this website and its pages, the plug-in will establish a  direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. As a  result, Facebook will receive the information that you have visited this  website with your plug-in. However, if you click the Facebook “Like”  button while you are logged into your Facebook account, you can link the  content of this website and its pages with your Facebook profile. As a  result, Facebook will be able to allocate the visit to this website and  its pages to your Facebook user account.

DoubleClick  is used to show you interest-based ads across the Google Network.  Advertisements can be tailored to the interests of the viewer using  DoubleClick. For example, our ads may appear in Google search results or  in banners associated with DoubleClick.

To be able to display  interest adequate promotional content to users, DoubleClick must  recognize the respective visitor so that it can allocate the websites  visited, the clicks and other user pattern information to the user.

If you would like to subscribe to the  newsletter offered on this website, we will need from you an e-mail  address as well as information that allow us to verify that you are the  owner of the e-mail address provided, and consent to the receipt of the  newsletter. No further data shall be collected or shall be collected  only on a voluntary basis. We shall use such data only for the sending  of the requested information and shall not share such data with any  third parties.

The processing of the information entered into the  newsletter subscription form shall occur exclusively on the basis of  your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke the consent you have  given to the archiving of data, the e-mail address and the use of this  information for the sending of the newsletter at any time, for instance  by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. This shall be  without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data processing transactions  that have taken place to date.

The data deposited with us for the  purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you  unsubscribe from the newsletter or the newsletter service provider and  deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from  the newsletter or after the purpose has ceased to apply. We reserve the  right to delete or block e-mail addresses from our newsletter  distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our  legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

After  you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail  address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a  blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is  used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves  both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal  requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the  meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is  indefinite. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

To ensure that fonts used on this website  are uniform, this website uses so-called Web Fonts provided by Google.  When you access a page on our website, your browser will load the  required web fonts into your browser cache to correctly display text and  fonts.

To do this, the browser you use will have to establish a  connection with Google’s servers. As a result, Google will learn that  your IP address was used to access this website. The use of Google Web  Fonts is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a  legitimate interest in a uniform presentation of the font on the  operator’s website. If a respective declaration of consent has been  obtained (e.g., consent to the archiving of cookies), the data will be  processed exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Any such  consent may be revoked at any time.

If your browser should not support Web Fonts, a standard font installed on your computer will be used.

For more information on Google Web Fonts, please follow this link: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and consult Google’s Data Privacy Declaration under: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

This website uses the mapping service Google  Maps. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House,  Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

To enable the use of the Google  Maps features, your IP address must be stored. As a rule, this  information is transferred to one of Google’s servers in the United  States, where it is archived. The operator of this website has no  control over the data transfer. In case Google Maps has been activated,  Google has the option to use Google web fonts for the purpose of the  uniform depiction of fonts. When you access Google Maps, your browser  will load the required web fonts into your browser cache, to correctly  display text and fonts.

We use Google Maps to present our online  content in an appealing manner and to make the locations disclosed on  our website easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest as  defined in Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If a respective declaration of consent has  been obtained, the data shall be processed exclusively on the basis of  Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. This declaration of consent may be revoked at any  time.

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter  referred to as “reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google  Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4,  Ireland.

The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to determine whether data  entered on this website (e.g., information entered into a contact form)  is being provided by a human user or by an automated program. To  determine this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitors  based on a variety of parameters. This analysis is triggered  automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the site. For this  analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates a variety of data (e.g., IP address, time  the website visitor spent on the site or cursor movements 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 a  respective declaration of consent has been obtained, the data will be  processed exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Any such  consent may be revoked at any time.
