Integration of services and contents of third parties

It may happen that content from third parties, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are included in this online offer. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as "third-party provider") perceive the IP address of the users as without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of each user. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We are making an effort to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. However, we do not have any influence on or know if the third parties use the IP address e.g. for statistical purposes. We will inform users about this if we are aware of it.

 

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google") on steakswear.com. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies" -- text files that are stored on users' computers that allow an analysis of their use of the website. The information generated by the cookie on the use of this website by the users is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Find out more about the cookies used on this website and how to control them on our cookies information page.

Our newsletters are sent out by MailChimp, a mail-order service provider of Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave # 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. The privacy policy of MailChimp can be viewed here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/.

Instagram

Within our website, features and content of the Instagram service offered by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA, may be incorporated. This may include content such as images, videos, or text and buttons that users use to like content, create content, or subscribe to our posts.

Online presence in social media

We maintain an online presence within social networks and platforms to communicate with customers, prospects and active users and to inform them about our services.

We point out that the data of the users may be processed outside the area of ​​the European Union. This may result in risks for the users because e.g. enforcement of user rights could be made more difficult. Concerning US providers certified under the Privacy Shield, we point out that they are committed to respecting EU privacy standards.

Furthermore, the data of the users are usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. Thus, e.g. user profiles are created from the users’ behaviour and the resulting interests of the users. The usage profiles can in turn be used to e.g. place advertisements inside and outside the platforms that are allegedly in line with users' interests. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the computers of the users, in which the user behaviour and the interests of the users are stored. Furthermore, in the usage profiles, data can also be stored independently of the devices used by the users (in particular if the users are members of the respective platforms and logged in to them).

The processing of the personal data of users is based on our legitimate interests to create effective information for our users and to communicate with our users by Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO. If the users are asked by the respective providers for consent to the data processing (that is, they declare their agreement, for example, by ticking a checkbox or confirming a button), the legal basis of the processing is Art. 6 para. a., Art. 7 GDPR.

For a detailed description of the respective processing and the possibilities of contradiction (opt-out), we refer to the following linked information of the provider.

Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we point out that these can be claimed most effectively from the providers. Only the providers have access to the data of the users and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. If you still need help, you can contact us.
