We are pleased about your interest in our online shop. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below we will inform you in detail about how your data is handled.


1. Access data and hosting
You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Every time a website is accessed, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the retrieval.

This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offering. In accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f of the GDPR, this serves to protect our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests, in a correct presentation of our offer. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

All data collected as part of the use of this website or in the forms provided in the online shop as described below are processed on its servers. Processing on other servers only takes place within the framework explained here.

2. Data collection and use for contract processing, contact
We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us as part of your order or when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email).

We use the data you provide in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter b GDPR to process the contract and process your inquiries. If you have given your consent in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a GDPR by deciding to open a customer account, we will use your data for the purpose of opening a customer account.

3. Data sharing

Depending on which payment service provider you select in the ordering process, we pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the credit institution responsible for the payment and, if applicable, the payment service provider commissioned by us, or to the selected payment service, in order to process payments. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you create an account there. In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. The data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies.

TierXXL.de / Preston Enterprises Swierczok offers you the opportunity to register for the TierXXL.de email newsletter on our homepage.

In order to register for our newsletters, it is generally sufficient to provide your email address. However, we may ask you to provide a name in the newsletter for the purpose of personal address, or other information if this is necessary for the purposes of the newsletter.


Double opt-in process: Registration for our newsletter generally takes place using a so-called double opt-in process. This means that after registering you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can log in with someone else's email address. Registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to provide evidence of the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the registration and confirmation times as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored by the shipping service provider are also logged.


Deletion and restriction of processing: We can store the unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years based on our legitimate interests before we delete them in order to be able to prove that consent was previously given. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of possible defense against claims. An individual request for deletion is possible at any time, provided that the previous existence of consent is confirmed at the same time. In the event of obligations to permanently observe contradictions, we reserve the right to store the email address in a blocking list (so-called “blacklist”) solely for this purpose.
The registration process is recorded on the basis of our legitimate interests for the purpose of providing evidence of its proper execution. If we commission a service provider to send emails, this is based on our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure shipping system.


Notes on legal bases: The newsletter is sent on the basis of the consent of the recipient or, if consent is not required, on the basis of our legitimate interests in direct marketing, if and to the extent that this is permitted by law, e.g. in the case of advertising to existing customers. If we commission a service provider to send emails, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests. The registration process is recorded based on our legitimate interests to demonstrate that it was carried out in accordance with the law.


Contents: Information about TierXXL.de / Preston Enterprises Swierczok, our services, promotions and offers.


Analysis and measurement of success: The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", ie a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened or, if we use a shipping service provider, from its server. As part of this retrieval Technical information is initially collected, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of access.
This information is used to technically improve our newsletter based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their access locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. This analysis also includes determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention nor, if used, that of the shipping service provider to monitor individual users. Rather, the evaluations serve us to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
The evaluation of the newsletter and the measurement of success are carried out, subject to the express consent of the users, on the basis of our legitimate interests for the purposes of using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and meets the expectations of the users.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to revoke the success measurement separately; in this case, the entire newsletter subscription must be canceled or objected to.
