For personal data not collected directly from you, you have the right to be informed about the source of the data.

Right to erasure
You have the right to request that we delete your personal data. In certain cases, however, your data cannot be deleted. For example, if your data is required for an active service or for our accounting and statutory responsibilities.
Right to restriction of processing
You can request that we restrict the processing of your data in the following cases:
You have disputed the accuracy of the data and you want us to stop using it pending final verification
The processing is unlawful, but you would prefer to restrict processing rather than have the data erased
We no longer need and would otherwise delete the data, but you still need it for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims
You have lodged an objection to the data processing, which is still under review
In the event of a restriction, we will ensure that the personal data cannot be further processed or changed by us. If processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, the controller will inform you before lifting the restriction.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data that you provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and, if necessary, to have it transferred to third parties.
The right to data portability shall not apply to processing that is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Right to object
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data that we process on the basis of a "legitimate interest"; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or unless the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
You can object to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising at any time without providing a reason. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
To exercise your right to object, you must submit an objection to us, the data controller. In some cases, you can do this directly online (e.g. in the case of cookies) or in the Hamster Systems Control Panel (e.g. for advertising). You are also welcome to address your data protection concerns (e.g. your objection) directly to the responsible contact person at privacy@hamster-sys.com
Right to withdraw

Visiting our website
We also collect personal data when you visit our website. We collect data when you order something from us, as well as when you view our websites or our profiles on social media. The details are explained below.
Cookies
We use cookies to optimize the design of our websites, to improve our products for you, and to show you advertisements tailored to your interests in cooperation with third-party providers.
Social media
In order to optimise our corporate presence, we maintain company pages on various social media platforms. We use these pages to inform prospective customers about our services and also to communicate with you via these channels.
We use these channels for the following purposes:
Legal basis
The legal basis for this processing of your personal data is our legitimate interest in communicating with our customers and prospective customers, as well as analyzing and improving our products, services, and business processes. We also make direct contact with customers as part of our Social Media Support service; this processing is based on our relationship with customers or pre-order actions with prospective customers.
Social media links
Links to social media platforms are integrated in such a way that data is not directly transmitted to the social media operator. Social media services are integrated on our website using links. Data is transferred only if you have clicked on the link.
ReCAPTCHA
Purpose and legal basis
We use the reCAPTCHA service from Google. With reCaptcha, a JavaScript element is embedded in the source code that causes the software to load in the background and analyze your user behavior. The data is already being used and analyzed before you have ticked the “I am not a robot” box. Google uses the data to calculate a score, which is used to determine whether the visitor is a human being or whether the input is being manipulated by automated processes (e.g. bots). It also serves to prevent fraudulent bulk orders, which can pose risks to the company’s infrastructure. ReCAPTCHA also helps protect our customers against cybercrime.
Legal basis
The legal basis for this processing is therefore our legitimate interest.
Type of data
The IP address transmitted to Google is truncated and not merged with other Google data.
Provider of the ReCAPTCHA service
Google Limited. You can find more information about Google’s privacy policy here:
https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

In the latter case, processing of your data is limited to compliance with the statutory retention periods and will not be processed for any other purposes.
You can make changes to this data yourself at any time via our Control Panel. Once your order has been verified, you will receive information about creating your personal login credentials by email.

Should you wish to object at a later date, you are welcome to send your objection at any time to privacy@hamster-sys.com

The quality part will still be deleted after 90 days. We need this data to document the conclusion of the service. The legal basis in this context is the fulfillment of the service.
Purposes and legal basis
When you place an online order with us, we check whether there are any indications of misuse of our web service or of attempted fraud from the device you are using.
Your device data is also compared with data for devices from which fraudulent activities were carried out in the past or where there was such suspicion. Employees of the Hamster Systems Abuse Team or another service provider may manually review the results of such checks in individual cases. The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of device fingerprinting is our legitimate interest as Hamster Systems has a legitimate interest in protecting itself against fraud and/or misuse.
For the purpose of fraud prevention, we process usage data such as IP addresses, information about the web pages accessed, and information about the time and duration of such access. For the purpose of device fingerprinting, we process device and browser data such as language and country settings, browser type, screen information, plug-ins, and software versions. Transaction data are also processed, such as the item purchased, contents of the shopping basket, name, postal address, e-mail address, delivery address, payment method, and bank details. These data are processed exclusively to prevent fraud and misuse.
A device ID is created based on the above-mentioned device data, which can be used to recognize devices when they visit the website again. We set a cookie so that we can recognize these IDs. The cookie contains a cookie ID but no personal usage or transaction data. This allows us to identify the device without knowing the person behind it by name or linking it to the device ID.
In order to optimize fraud prevention processes, your data will be transferred to FraudLabs Pro (see below for information and contact details of the service provider/sub-service provider used). FraudLabs Pro stores personal data in a pool containing the pseudonymized data from other FraudLabs Pro Customers. In particular, this storage facilitates the advanced prevention of coordinated device-based attacks from abroad or mass attempts at fraud or abuse. FraudLabs Pro will only check your data to determine whether there might be any suspicion of fraud or abuse.
We only request this consent if you wish to place your order online. If you do not wish to give such consent to data processing for the purpose of risk assessment and fraud prevention, online order is unfortunately not possible. However, you can still place your order with us by email.
Your data will be transmitted to the following service providers for the purpose of fraud prevention:
