Data Protection Declaration

Duty to provide information

Data privacy

For us, LS of South Africa, the protection of personal data is much more than compliance with legal regulations. We are therefore very pleased about your interest in how we handle personal data.

The processing of personal data, such as a person's name, address, e-mail address or telephone number, is always carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law.

By means of this data protection declaration we would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, we want to inform affected persons about their rights.

LS of South Africa has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive possible protection of personal data processed via this website.

Despite our care, security gaps can occur during internet-based data transmission, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are of course free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or post.

SSL encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as For example, orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator, SSL or TLS encryption.
You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Purposes and legal basis of data processing - in general when visiting the website

If you use our website for purely informational purposes, do not register or otherwise provide us with information (e.g. by e-mail), we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called "server log files"). These data are processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our homepage. This data will not be used for any other purpose or even passed on to third parties. However, we reserve the right to subsequently analyze the log files if there are indications of illegal use.

The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. If your establishment of contact has the conclusion of a contract for the purpose, then additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 exp. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your inquiry; this is the case if it can be inferred that the affected facts have been finally clarified and if no legal storage obligations prohibit us from deleting them.

Cookies

The website of LS of South Africa uses cookies. Cookies are text files which are stored on a computer system via an web browser.

Many websites 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 string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other web browsers that contain other cookies. A particular web browser can be recognized and identified by its unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, LS of South Africa can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookies.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his access data each time he visits the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in the online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket via a cookie.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the web browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an web browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common web browsers. If the person concerned deactivates the setting of cookies in the web browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

Cookie Consent

On our website, we use "mindshape CookieConsent", a service provided by mindshape GmbH, Bonner Straße 172-176, 50968 Cologne, Germany (hereinafter: mindshape).  The extension "mindshape CookieConsent" generates the display of an overlay with information about the use of cookies on the website. The visitor has the possibility to actively select and deselect the individual cookies. The legal basis for data processing to provide the cookie consent banner is Art. 6 GDPR (legitimate interest). The legitimate interest is the error-free functioning of the website.

Privacy policy for the use and application of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the elicitation, collection and evaluation of data on the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on the website from which a person concerned has accessed a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website have been accessed or how often and for how long a subpage has been viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The Google Analytics component is operated by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The data controller uses the suffix "_gat.anonymizeIp" for the web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, Google shortens and anonymizes the IP address of the Internet connection of the person concerned when accessing our website from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information collected to evaluate the use of our website, among other things, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website and to provide other services in connection with the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is called up, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the person concerned 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 obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which serves Google, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission statements.

Cookies are used to store personal information, such as access time, the location from which access came and the frequency of visits to our website by the person concerned. Whenever you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, 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 disclose personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as already described above, by means of an appropriate setting of the web browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the web  browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the web browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, it is possible for the person concerned to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the person concerned must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information on visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered a contradiction by Google. If the person's information technology system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later time, the person concerned must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the person concerned or another person within their control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

Further information and Google's current privacy policy can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy. Google Analytics will be explained in more detail under this link https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/.
