  1. Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising programme from Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. We use Google Ads to draw attention to our offers using adverts (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. We can establish how successful individual advertisements are based on the advertising campaign data. We are therefore pursuing the aim of showing you advertising which is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you, and fairly calculating incurred advertising costs.

As part of Google Ads, we use so-called Conversion Tracking. If you click on an advert displayed by Google, a cookie is placed for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files which are the internet browser stores on the user’s computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of the user. If the user visits certain pages of this website when the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can detect that the user clicked on the ad and proceeded to this website.

Each Google Ads advertiser has a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked using the website of a Google AdWords client. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads clients who have opted for conversion tracking. Clients are told the total number of users who clicked on their advert and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, advertisers do not obtain any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to take part in tracking, you can object by deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie in your internet browser under User Settings. You will then not be included in the Conversion Tracking statistics.

You can find more information on Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking in Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

You can adjust your browser settings to be informed of the placing of cookies and to only permit cookies in certain cases, to generally reject the acceptance of cookies for certain cases, and to automatically delete cookies when you close your browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

We have obtained your consent to the processing of your data as indicated above as far as is legally necessary pursuant to Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. In order to withdraw your consent, please follow the process for objecting described above.

The use of Google Remarketing

Google Remarketing is a Google Service which we can use to approach you even after you leave this website. It is therefore possible that you will be shown our adverts when browsing the internet after you have visited our website. Google Remarketing uses both data and information which Google has collected on you beforehand. For this purpose, Google uses so-called cookies which are saved on your device and which track and analyse user behaviour on different websites for Google. You can prevent tracking in several ways:

The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Information on Privacy & Terms at Google can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

According to our information, Google does not collate any data obtained via Google Remarketing with personal data which Google may have collected on you. If you do not want your data to be processed by Google Marketing, you can deactivate this by adjusting your settings accordingly at https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

Data collected are collated in your Google Account solely on the basis of your consent which you can grant to or withdraw from Google (Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR). For data collation that cannot be conducted on your Google Account (e.g. because you do not have a Google Account or you have objected to collation), this data collection is based on Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the website operator having an interest in the anonymised analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.

 

  1. FACEBOOK PIXEL

 

We use the so-called "Facebook Pixel" of Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (Facebook Ireland Limited has changed its name to Meta Platforms Ireland Limited).

  1. CONSENT FOR TIKTOK ADVERTISING

 

We use the TikTok Advertising service. TikTok Advertising is an online advertising programme provided by TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited, One London Wall, London EC2Y 5EB ("TikTok"). Through the use of cookies and similar technologies such as device identifiers, information about the use of the FFS App (e.g. information about items viewed) is collected and transmitted to TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited by FFS and TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited under joint responsibility. When using the app, the FFS app determines the device ID of your terminal device and transmits the tracking data to TikTok on this basis. The further processing of the data transmitted to TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited is the sole responsibility of TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited under data protection law. This information transmitted to TikTok can be assigned to your person with the aid of further information that TikTok has stored about you, e.g. due to your ownership of an account on the social network "TikTok". On the basis of the information collected, you can be shown interest- related advertisements on our offers in your TikTok account (retargeting). The information collected may also be aggregated by TikTok and the aggregated information may be used by TikTok for its own advertising purposes and for the advertising purposes of third parties. For example, TikTok may infer certain interests from your browsing behaviour on this website and may also use this information to promote third party offers. TikTok may also combine the information collected with other information that TikTok has collected about you via other websites and / or in connection with the use of the social network "TikTok", so that a profile about you can be stored at TikTok. This profile may be used for advertising purposes. To the extent that TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited processes your data as the sole data controller, there is a possibility that your data may be transferred by TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited to the USA. The European Court of Justice has held in relation to the USA that it is a country with an inadequate level of data protection. In this context, there is a particular risk that your data will be processed by American institutions/authorities for control and monitoring purposes without you having an adequate legal remedy against this. The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6(1)(a) DSGVO (consent).You can find more information about data protection at TikTok here.

Here you can also exercise your data protection rights (e.g. right to erasure) with regard to the data that TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited processes about you as a data controller.

In general, your mobile device (mobile phone, tablet) has a function that allows you to opt in or out of some types of personalised advertising when using apps and thus also to revoke the consent you have given.

We use the TikTok Pixel on our website. The TikTok Pixel is a TikTok advertiser tool from the two providers TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland, and TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited, WeWork, 125 Kingsway, London, WC2B 6NH, United Kingdom (together "TikTok"). The TikTok Pixel is a snippet of JavaScript code that allows us to understand and track the activities of visitors on our website. To this end, the TikTok Pixel collects and processes information about visitors to our website or the devices they use. The data collected via the TikTok Pixel is used for targeting our ads and improving ad delivery and for personalized advertising. For this purpose, the data collected on our website via the TikTok Pixel is transmitted to TikTok. Some of this data includes information stored on your end device. In addition, cookies are also used via the TikTok Pixel, which store information on your end device. Such storage of information by the TikTok Pixel or access to information already stored on your end device only occurs with your consent.

from 18 years of age or older, if the legal drinking age in the respective country in which the participant has his/her permanent residence is above 18 years. Minors are expressly excluded from participation. No prizes will be distributed to minors. Participation is only possible in one's own name. Participation in the name of third parties, in particular through competition agencies and participation with the help of automatically generated mass mailings, is not permitted.

(2) The participant is solely responsible for the accuracy of the data provided for participation in the competition. All personal details must correspond to the truth.

(3) Each participant may only participate in the raffle once.

EXCLUSION FROM PARTICIPATION

(1) Employees of Flowers & Jägermeister, its affiliated companies and the implementing agencies and any participating cooperation partners as well as their relatives are excluded from participation.

(2) In the event of justified suspicion of a breach of these conditions of participation, Flowers reserves the right to exclude persons from participation.

(3) Persons who use unauthorized aids or obtain advantages by manipulating the prize system shall be excluded. As technical manipulation is considered in particular, but not exclusively, the multiple registration of a person or comparable automated collective participation services.

(4) Anyone who makes false statements about his or her person shall also be excluded.

PARTICIPATION IN THE CONTEST

By participating in the Flowers for Society X Jägermeister Co-Creation competition and submitting the design to Flowers for Society GmbH (hereinafter referred to as the Company), the participant transfers to the Company exclusive, unrestricted rights of use and exploitation, in terms of time, territory, and content, for all potential work results that may be protected under copyright, design patent, utility model, trademark, or any other intellectual property right. The transfer of copyright usage and exploitation rights also includes any usage types that are unknown at the time of contract conclusion. The transfer of usage and exploitation rights particularly includes the permission to modify and license the design to third parties. The Company, therefore, has sole usage rights. The participant expressly waives any other rights they may have as the creator or holder of other intellectual property rights regarding the submitted design, including but not limited to the right to attribution, the right to modification, and the right to make the work publicly accessible. The granting of rights and the waiver of rights under this wording are fully compensated.

LIABILITY

(1) The participant is responsible for the correctness of the data provided.

(2) Flowers assumes no liability for technical failures that lead to the unavailability of the offer, data losses, in particular in the way of data transmission, and other technical defects beyond the control of Flowers and its service providers, unless there is gross negligence or intent.

(3) Flowers is not liable for the fact that participation via Instagram is not possible (in time). Furthermore, Flowers does not guarantee that Instagram is properly functioning on the respective participant's computer or device.

EARLY TERMINATION, EXCLUSION

(1) Flowers reserves the right to cancel or terminate the promotion at any time without prior notice and without giving reasons. Flowers will make use of this option in particular if proper execution of the promotion cannot be guaranteed for technical reasons (e.g. viruses in the computer system, manipulation or errors in the hardware and/or software) or for legal reasons.

(2) Participants shall not have any claims arising from such premature termination of the promotion, unless the conditions of section 6 para. 4 are met. If such a termination is caused by the conduct of a participant, Jägermeister may demand compensation from this person for the damage incurred.

DATA PROTECTION AND CONSENT TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

(1) The required personal data provided by the participant will be collected, stored and processed by Flowers as the responsible body. Personal data in this sense is the following data provided by participants as part of the promotion: First and last name, age and e-mail address. This data will be used solely for the purpose of conducting the prize draw and sending the prize money. After termination and complete processing of the competition, all data provided will be deleted, unless Flowers is legally obliged to store the data beyond this.

(2) The provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, it is necessary for participation in the competition. The possible consequence of not providing it is non-participation in the competition.

(3) The legal basis for the implementation of the competition is generally Art. 6 para. 1 f) DSGVO. Flowers legitimate interest results from the interest in being able to carry out the prize draw. The legal basis for the processing of the winner data is Art. 6 para. 1 b) DSGVO. In the event that an additional declaration of consent is submitted, Art. 6 I lit. a DSGVO is the legal basis.

(4) Participants are free at any time to send an e-mail to support@flowersforsociety.com to object to the storage, processing and use of their data and thus simultaneously withdraw from participation. In this case, their data will be deleted immediately.

(5) Participants have a right of access to the personal data in question as well as the right to have incorrect data corrected or to have it deleted, provided that one of the reasons stated in Art. 17 DSGVO applies, e.g. if the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued. In the event of a request for deletion before the end of the action, this request for deletion is associated with the termination of participation. Participants also have the right to restriction of processing if one of the conditions listed in Article 18 of the GDPR applies and, in the cases of Article 20 of the GDPR, the right to data portability.

(6) If the (general) data protection provisions of the Flowers website deviate from the conditions of participation, the conditions of participation apply exclusively in this respect.

(7) The terms of use and guidelines as well as the data protection information of Instagram apply in addition. If data is collected by Instagram, Flowers is not responsible for this. As with any use of Instagram, the participant must inform himself/herself about the data protection conditions of third-party providers. We have no influence on the collection of data and its further use by the social networks. There is no knowledge of the extent to which, where and for how long the data is stored, to what extent the networks comply with existing deletion obligations, what evaluations and links are made with the data and to whom the data is passed on. We therefore expressly draw your attention to the fact that your data (e.g. personal information, IP address) will be stored by the operators of the networks in accordance with their data usage guidelines and used for business purposes. We process data with regard to social media presences insofar as, for example, comments or direct messages are sent to us via these. The legal basis for the processing of data following the user's consent is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

MISCELLANEOUS

(1) Flowers reserves the right to change these conditions of participation at any time and without giving reasons, as well as to interrupt or cancel the promotion. This applies in particular if proper implementation of the promotion cannot be guaranteed for technical reasons (e.g. viruses in the computer system, manipulation or errors in the hardware and/or software) or for legal reasons. The participant's claims for performance and damages in the event of premature termination of the action are excluded.

(2) German law shall apply exclusively. In relation to a consumer, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as it does not restrict any mandatory statutory provisions of the state in which the consumer is domiciled or habitually resident.

(3) Should individual provisions be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. An invalid provision shall be replaced by a provision that comes as close as legally possible to the original intention. The same applies to loopholes.
