In order to process your e-mail address in the event of a purchase via our websites / applications, we are also obliged to send an electronic order confirmation due to legal requirements in the General Civil Code (ABGB) (Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter c) GDPR).

Insofar as we do not use your data for advertising purposes (see 3.3 below), we will save the data collected for the execution of the contract until the statutory or possible contractual warranty and guarantee rights have expired.

If necessary, they will contact you in advance of delivery in order to coordinate delivery details with you. The respective data are transmitted solely for the respective purposes and are deleted again after delivery.

3.2.2 Identity, creditworthiness and transmission to credit agencies

3.2.2.1 Identity check

If necessary, we check your identity with the help of information from service providers. The legal basis for this is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b) and Letter f) GDPR. The authorization to do this arises from the protection of your identity and the avoidance of attempted fraud at our expense. The circumstance and the result of our request will be added to your customer account or your guest account for the duration of the contractual relationship.

3.2.2.2 Credit checks

If you have selected a so-called insecure payment method (purchase by invoice or installment) when placing an order, the following applies:

3.2.2.2.1 Internal credit agency

In cases where a customer wants to order with an insecure method of payment, we are entitled to use information received as part of the order to calculate the probability of default (internal scoring). The calculation of the probability of default by means of internal scoring is based on a recognized mathematical statistical procedure. The data used as part of the internal scoring result in particular from a combination of the following data categories (not exhaustive): address data, age, desired payment conditions, order method and product range groups. In the context of internal scoring, only data that the customer has given us is used. On the basis of the named data categories, conclusions can be drawn about the probability of payment default on the basis of the mathematical statistical procedure used. For example, a certain place of residence of the person placing the order combined with a certain category of goods can lead to an increased probability of default and thus to a restriction on the payment method. There is no payment type restriction based solely on the place of residence of the person placing the order. In addition, it has been statistically proven, for example, that there is a lower risk of payment default when using a chargeable e-mail provider than is the case when using a free provider. For example, a certain place of residence of the person placing the order combined with a certain category of goods can lead to an increased probability of default and thus to a restriction on the payment method.

3.2.3 Use of data for fraud prevention purposes

The data you provide in the context of an order can be used to check whether an atypical order process has occurred (e.g. simultaneous ordering of a large number of goods to the same address using different customer accounts). In principle, we have a legitimate interest in carrying out such a check. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR.

Obsolutely collects and processes data with the help of cookies and other tracking technologies to determine the device used by the user and other data about the use of the website. There is no assignment to a specific user. If IP addresses are collected by Obsolutely, they are encrypted immediately.

Obsolutely stores the data in a fraud prevention database. In the database, data transmitted by Obsolutely is also stored on devices that have already been used to (attempted) fraud. In this respect, too, there is no assignment to specific users.

As part of an order process on our website, we call up a risk assessment for the user's device from the Obsolutely database.

Processors do not use the data for their own purposes, but carry out the data processing exclusively for the person responsible. If, for example, you buy an article from us, you transmit your e-mail address to us for the purpose of sending us an order confirmation. We are therefore responsible for this data processing. Your email address will then be sent to a service provider for the purpose of sending an order confirmation. This service provider will then send you the order confirmation for the purchased item.

We also use suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data stored by us against manipulation, partial or complete loss and against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

8.1 Warning of forged emails (spoofing), spam and phishing

The security of our customers' data is our top priority. In the following we would like to give you some security advice: Beware of so-called phishing and spoofing attempts. Unfortunately, in this fraudulent scheme, our brand can also be misused as the alleged sender. Specifically, this means that consumers are receiving fake emails on our behalf. These emails can even be based on our brand layout and may be difficult to distinguish from our emails. The fraudsters want to take advantage of the trust between us and our customers and thus steal sensitive data (e.g. login, customer data, payment information) or install harmful software (such as viruses or Trojans) on your computer or smartphone. We do not create and send these e-mails, even if our name is used as the sender. Unfortunately, we cannot influence the sending of these inadmissible e-mails. The following are some of the characteristics that you can use to identify emails from us:

    • We do not ask you for personal information by email, nor do we ask you to confirm personal data via a link in an email.

    • You will only receive order confirmations and invoices from us for orders that you have actually placed.

    • We only send e-mails with file attachments if you have explicitly requested them from us (e.g. operating instructions).

    • Mails from us should not have any spelling or grammatical errors, as these are always proofread before being sent.

How to properly deal with spam, phishing and spoofing emails:

    • We recommend that you delete suspicious emails immediately.

    • Never open links or attachments in suspicious emails or reveal any personal information.

    • If you have accidentally clicked on the links in the e-mail, change your password in your online customer account immediately. We also recommend that you run a virus scan on your computer.

    • If the email contains unusual or suspicious information about orders or your customer details, log in to My Account. All orders you have actually placed are listed there and you can check the order status and the respective invoice numbers. To do this, enter the address Obsolutely manually in the address line of your browser. This will prevent you from being led to fraudulent websites via a link in the email.

8.2 Important information on protecting your data

In today's networked world, unauthorized attempts to access personal information are a reality that private individuals and companies have to face every day. That is without question a great challenge. Since data protection is our top priority, we invest in the security of our systems and constantly monitor them. Because when you buy online at obsolutely.com you are entrusting us with information about yourself. The security of this information is important to us. Since you can do a lot to protect yourself against unauthorized access to your information by third parties, we would like to give you a few tips at this point on how to handle your information safely.

How can you protect your personal information? Basically: Protect your customer account and also your computer, laptop or mobile device with secure passwords and PIN codes that only you know! Also, make sure to log out after every online purchase at obsolutely.com. Make sure that you only ever use your passwords for one account! Never use one password for different providers or portals. Check whether you are also using the password you have chosen for obsolutely.com on other websites. If this is the case, we strongly advise you to change all passwords immediately. Do not write down the passwords in a freely accessible place. Again, make sure that only you have access to the passwords.

How do you create a secure password? Passwords should be chosen so that they cannot be easily guessed, e.g. no common words from everyday life, your own names or the names of relatives. To make the password even more secure, it is recommended that you use upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters in combination. Do not use a password manager of the common web browser, as the passwords are often stored here unencrypted or not sufficiently encrypted. A password manager should use sufficiently strong encryption methods.

Are there any other things you should be aware of? Should you ever use a publicly accessible computer, always make sure that you log off after your visit to obsolutely.com. If you receive unsolicited emails without specific contact, in which you are asked to provide passwords or information on payment data, ignore this and please contact us immediately. We will investigate these incidents
