Privacy Policy

This policy explains how we process personal data when you visit strap-finder.com and use the strap try-on on it (Art 13, Art 14 GDPR; § 165 para. 3 TKG). The controller is MAXI solutions e.U., see section VIII.

I. Visiting the website

When you visit strap-finder.com, the following data may be processed:

  • browser type and operating system,
  • country, date, time and duration of access,
  • IP address[1] and the pages visited, including entry and exit pages.

This is necessary to deliver the website securely and to make it work; the legal basis is our legitimate interest in operating the website (Art 6 para. 1 lit f GDPR). The website itself sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device.

Recipients:

  • Cloudflare, Inc.
    • Purpose: hosting and content delivery of the website and the try-on, protection against attacks
    • Legal basis: legitimate interest (Art 6 para. 1 lit f GDPR)
    • Place of business: USA, with data centers in the EU
    • Basis for transfer to a third country[2]: EU-US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses
  • Matomo On-Premise (web analytics, operated by us)
    • Purpose: statistics on how the website is used
    • Legal basis: legitimate interest (Art 6 para. 1 lit f GDPR); Matomo runs without cookies and with a shortened IP address

II. Using the try-on

The try-on on this website is our application Watch Try-On, loaded from api.watchtryon.com. It shows the straps of our partner shop on a sketch watch or on a photo of your watch, in a frontal view and on a wrist.

II.1. Photos you upload

Photos of a watch or a wrist that you upload are processed to render your try-on and, if you use the measurement function, to measure your wrist. If an identification or bank card is visible for scale, the card area is redacted before the image is stored. Photos are not passed on to the partner shops or any other third party. The legal basis is the performance of the service you request (Art 6 para. 1 lit b GDPR).

II.2. Usage events

The application records how it is used, for example which strap was shown, which view was selected and that a photo was uploaded, together with a random ID for the session, the browser, device type and language, the referring page and the IP address, which is shortened before it is stored. We use this to run and improve the try-on and to count the try-ons per partner shop (Art 6 para. 1 lit f GDPR). Further statistics are off unless you turn them on in the application's privacy settings (Art 6 para. 1 lit a GDPR); without that, the application sets no statistics cookies and keeps no statistics ID.

II.3. Data stored in your browser

To work, the application keeps the following entries in your browser's local storage (legitimate interest, Art 6 para. 1 lit f GDPR; § 165 para. 3 TKG). They stay on your device until you delete them.

  • i18nextLng: the display language
  • *_selectedWatch, *_selectedStrap, *_selectedHand, *_lastViewMode: the last selection and view
  • *_uploadedWatches, *_uploadedHands: the processing result (cut-out image) of your uploads, so you can return to them
  • *_dimensions, *_wristMeasurement: the wrist size and the chosen unit
  • *_arrowKeysHintShown, *_swipeHintShown: that a usage hint has been shown
  • *_disclaimerAccepted, *_disclaimerAnswerExpirationDate: that you accepted the notice shown before an upload
  • *_consentSettings: your choices in the application's privacy settings
  • *_analyticsUserId: a random ID for statistics, only if you turned statistics on there

II.4. Hosting of the application

  • netcup GmbH
    • Purpose: hosting of the application and storage of uploads and usage events
    • Legal basis: legitimate interest (Art 6 para. 1 lit f GDPR)
    • Place of business: Germany

III. Links to partner shops

Straps are sold by our partner shop (OPTO WATCH CO.). When you follow a link to a shop, you leave this website and the shop's own privacy policy applies. The link carries the parameters utm_source=strap-finder.com, utm_medium and utm_campaign, and a referral code of Strap Finder, so that the shop can see that your visit came from Strap Finder and attribute an order to us; they contain no personal data. The shop's affiliate tool may store a cookie on the shop's website for this; the shop's privacy policy covers it. To settle our commission, the shop tells us the orders it attributes to Strap Finder; we receive no data that identifies you.

IV. How long is data stored?

Uploaded photos are kept so that you can return to your try-on, and usage events for statistics. Neither is linked to a name or an account, and the IP address is stored in shortened form only. We delete your uploads when you ask us to (section VI). Messages you send us by e-mail are kept for as long as your enquiry is handled, at most one year after the last contact. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

V. Automated decision-making

No automated decision-making or profiling takes place (Art 13 para. 2 lit f GDPR).

VI. Your rights

Provided the legal requirements are met, you have the right

  • to information about which of your data we process (Art 15 GDPR),
  • to correction or completion of incorrect or incomplete data (Art 16 GDPR),
  • to deletion of your data (Art 17 GDPR) and to restriction of processing (Art 18 GDPR),
  • to object to processing based on our legitimate interests (Art 21 GDPR),
  • to receive the data you provided in a structured, common and machine-readable format (Art 20 GDPR).

Where we process data on the basis of your consent, you can revoke it at any time by e-mail; this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing up to then (Art 7 para. 3 GDPR).

VII. Complaints

If you believe that we process your data unlawfully, please contact us first. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. In Austria: Österreichische Datenschutzbehörde, Barichgasse 40-42, 1030 Vienna.
