We appreciate your interest in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we provide detailed information about how we handle your data.
1. Access Data and Hosting
You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time a page is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file containing, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the volume of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data). These access data are evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the site and improving our offering. This serves our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offering pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR, which take precedence in the context of a balancing of interests. All access data are deleted no later than one month after the end of your visit. All access data are processed only for as long as necessary to achieve the above-mentioned processing purposes.
Hosting
The services for hosting and displaying the website are provided in part by our service providers within the scope of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, all access data and all data collected via forms on this website are processed on their servers. If you have questions about our service providers and the basis for our cooperation with them, please use the contact details described in this Privacy Policy.
Our service providers are located and/or use servers in the following countries for which the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection by decision: USA.
The adequacy decision for the USA serves as the basis for third-country transfers, provided the respective service provider is certified. A certification pursuant to the European Commission’s decision is in place.
2. Data Processing for Contract Performance and Contact
Data Processing for Contract Performance
We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us in the course of placing an order or contacting us (e.g. via contact form or email). Mandatory fields are identified as such, as we require this data for processing the contract or handling your enquiry and you will not be able to complete the order or submit your enquiry without providing it. The data collected can be seen in the respective input forms.
We use the data you provide for contract performance and to process your requests (including requests related to and processing of any existing warranty claims, performance disruptions, rights of withdrawal, and any statutory update obligations) pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR. Further information on the processing of your data, in particular on sharing with our service providers for order, payment, and shipping processing, can be found in the following sections of this Privacy Policy. After full completion of the contract, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of any applicable tax and commercial retention periods pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(c) GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR or we have reserved the right to use the data for further purposes permitted by law and disclosed to you in this statement.
Contact
As part of customer communication, we collect personal data pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR when you voluntarily provide it to us when contacting us (e.g. via contact form, live chat tool, or email). Mandatory fields are identified as such, as we require this data in order to process your enquiry. The data collected can be seen in the respective input forms. After your enquiry has been fully processed, your data will be deleted, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR or we have reserved the right to use the data for further purposes permitted by law and disclosed to you in this statement.
3. Data Processing for Shipping
For the purpose of fulfilling the contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR, we share your data with the shipping service provider commissioned to make the delivery, to the extent necessary for the delivery of the ordered goods. If you have questions about our service providers and the basis for our cooperation with them, please use the contact details described in this Privacy Policy.
Sharing Data with Shipping Providers for Delivery Notifications
If you have given us your explicit consent during or after your order, we will share your email address and phone number with the selected shipping service provider on that basis pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR, so that the provider can contact you before delivery for the purpose of announcing or coordinating delivery.
This consent can be withdrawn at any time by sending a message to the contact address described in this Privacy Policy. After withdrawal, we will delete the data you provided for this purpose, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we have reserved the right to use the data for further purposes permitted by law and disclosed to you in this statement.

4. Data Processing for Payment
For the processing of payments in our online shop, we work with the following partners: technical service providers, credit institutions, and payment service providers.
4.1 Data Processing for Transaction Handling
Depending on the payment method selected, we share the data necessary for processing the payment transaction with our technical service providers, the commissioned credit institutions, or the selected payment service provider, to the extent necessary for processing the payment. This serves contract performance pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR. In some cases, the payment service providers collect the data required for payment processing themselves, e.g. on their own website or through a technical integration in the order process. The privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies in this respect.
Depending on the payment method selected, data may be transferred to third countries outside the EU/EEA for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision. Where data transfers to third countries outside the EU/EEA take place for which no such decision exists, the cooperation is based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.
If you have questions about our payment processing partners or the basis for our cooperation with them, please use the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy.
4.2 Data Processing for Fraud Prevention and Payment Optimisation
Where applicable, we share additional data with the aforementioned service providers, which they use together with the data required for payment processing for the purposes of fraud prevention and optimisation of our payment processes (e.g. invoicing, handling of disputed payments, accounting support). This serves pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR our legitimate interests, which take precedence in the context of a balancing of interests, in protecting ourselves against fraud and in efficient payment management.

Google Analytics
For the purpose of website analysis, data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website) are automatically collected and stored by Google Analytics, from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. Cookies may be used for this purpose. If you visit our website from within the EU, your IP address is stored on a server located in the EU to derive location data and is then immediately deleted before traffic is forwarded to other Google servers for processing. Data processing is based on a data processing agreement with Google.
For web analytics, the Google Analytics extension function Google Signals enables so-called “cross-device tracking”. To the extent your internet-enabled devices are linked to your Google account and you have enabled the “personalised advertising” setting in your Google account, Google can create reports on your usage behaviour (in particular cross-device user numbers) even when you switch devices. We do not process personal data in this regard; we only receive statistics generated based on Google Signals.
If you do not give us consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR for the use of Google Analytics, no cookies will be stored on or read from your device. The data processing described in the preceding paragraphs does not take place. To close gaps in web analytics through behavioural and conversion modelling, pings containing data (user agent, information about your consent behaviour, screen resolution, IP address) are sent to Google.
Google Ads
For advertising purposes in Google search results and on third-party websites, the so-called Google Remarketing Cookie is set when you visit our website. It automatically enables interest-based advertising through the collection and processing of data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website) and by means of a pseudonymous cookie ID based on the pages you have visited. Further data processing only takes place if you have enabled the “personalised advertising” setting in your Google account.

For website analysis and event tracking, we measure your subsequent usage behaviour via Google Ads Conversion Tracking if you have arrived at our website via a Google Ads advertisement. Cookies may be used for this purpose and data may be collected (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website based on events we have defined, such as visiting a page or signing up for the newsletter), from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms.
If you do not give us consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR for the use of Google Ads, no cookies will be stored on or read from your device. The data processing described in the preceding paragraphs does not take place. To close gaps in web analytics through behavioural and conversion modelling, pings containing data (user agent, information about your consent behaviour, screen resolution, IP address, page URL, information about ad clicks in URL parameters) are sent to Google. Your IP address is used to derive the IP country.
Google Fonts
To ensure a consistent presentation of content on our website, the “Google Fonts” script code collects data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information), which is transmitted to Google and subsequently processed by Google. We have no influence over this subsequent data processing.

As part of so-called advanced matching, information is also collected and stored in hashed form for matching purposes, allowing the identification of individuals (e.g. names, email addresses, and phone numbers). When you visit our website, the Meta Pixel automatically sets a cookie that uses a pseudonymous cookie ID to automatically recognise your browser when you visit other websites. Meta Platforms Ireland will merge this information with additional data from your Facebook account and use it to compile reports on website activities and to provide further services related to website usage, in particular personalised and group-based advertising.
The information automatically collected by Meta Platforms Ireland technologies about your use of our website is generally transferred to and stored on a server of Meta Platforms, Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA.

No adequacy decision of the European Commission exists for these countries. Our cooperation with them is based on the following guarantees: Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission.
Meta Ads Manager
Via Meta Ads Manager, we advertise this website on Facebook (by Meta) and other platforms. We determine the parameters of the respective advertising campaign. Meta Platforms Ireland is responsible for the exact implementation, in particular the decision on the placement of advertisements to individual users. Unless otherwise stated for the individual technologies, data processing is based on an agreement between joint controllers pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. The joint controllership is limited to the collection of data and its transmission to Meta Platforms Ireland. The subsequent data processing by Meta Platforms Ireland is not covered by this arrangement.
Based on the statistics about visitor activities on our website generated via Meta Pixel, we conduct group-based advertising on Facebook (by Meta) via Custom Audiences by determining the characteristics of the respective target audience. In the context of the advanced matching taking place to determine the respective target audience (see above), Meta Platforms Ireland acts as our data processor.
Based on the pseudonymous cookie ID set by the Meta Pixel and the data collected about your usage behaviour on our website, we conduct personalised advertising via Custom Audiences.
Via Conversions (via Meta Pixel or Conversions API), we measure your subsequent usage behaviour for web analytics and event tracking if you have arrived at our website via a Meta Ads Manager advertisement. Data processing is based on a data processing agreement with Meta Platforms Ireland.
8. Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge / Other Widgets
If you have given your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR, Trusted Shops widgets are integrated on this website to display Trusted Shops services (e.g. the quality seal, aggregated reviews) and to offer Trusted Shops products to buyers after an order has been placed.
The Trustbadge and the services promoted therewith are an offering of Trusted Shops SE, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne (“Trusted Shops”), with whom we are jointly responsible for data protection pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. We inform you below within the scope of this Privacy Policy about the key contractual contents pursuant to Art. 26(2) GDPR.
Within the framework of the joint responsibility between us and Trusted Shops SE, please direct any data protection questions and the exercise of your rights preferably to Trusted Shops using the contact details provided in their privacy information. Regardless, you can always contact the controller of your choice. Your request will then be forwarded to the other controller for response if necessary.
Data Processing upon Integration of the Trustbadge / Other Widgets
The Trustbadge is provided by a US-based CDN provider (Content Delivery Network). An adequate level of data protection is ensured in each case by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission applicable to the USA, available here. Service providers from the USA are generally certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information is available here. Where service providers are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been concluded as appropriate safeguards.
When the Trustbadge is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file that also contains your IP address, the date and time of the request, the volume of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data). The IP address is anonymised immediately after collection, so the stored data cannot be associated with your person. The anonymised data are used in particular for statistical purposes and for error analysis.
Data Processing after Order Completion
If you have given your consent, the Trustbadge accesses order information stored on your device after order completion (order total, order number, and where applicable the purchased product) as well as your email address, and your email address is hashed using a cryptographic one-way function. The hash value is then transmitted together with the order information pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR to Trusted Shops.
This is used to check whether you are already registered for Trusted Shops services. If so, further processing takes place in accordance with the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops. If you are not yet registered for the services or do not give your consent to automatic recognition via the Trustbadge, you will subsequently have the opportunity to manually register for the use of the services or to take out protection within the framework of your existing user agreement where applicable.
For this purpose, the Trustbadge accesses the following information stored on your device after your order is completed: order total, order number, and email address. This is necessary so that we can offer you buyer protection. Data is only transmitted to Trusted Shops once you actively choose to take out buyer protection by clicking the corresponding button in the so-called Trustcard. If you choose to use the services, further processing is governed by the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, in order to complete your registration for buyer protection and secure the order, and to potentially send you review invitations by email.
Trusted Shops uses service providers in the areas of hosting, monitoring, and logging. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purpose of ensuring smooth operations. Processing may take place in third countries (USA, United Kingdom, and Israel). An adequate level of data protection is ensured in each case by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission applicable to the USA here, the United Kingdom here, and Israel here. Service providers from the USA are generally certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information is available here. Where service providers are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been concluded as appropriate safeguards.

| Right to Object
To the extent we process personal data as described above to protect our legitimate interests, which take precedence in the context of a balancing of interests, you may object to such processing with effect for the future. If the processing is for direct marketing purposes, you may exercise this right at any time as described above. Where the processing is for other purposes, you have a right to object only on grounds relating to your particular situation. After you exercise your right to object, we will cease processing your personal data for those purposes, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or where the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims. This does not apply where the processing is for direct marketing purposes. In that case, we will no longer process your personal data for that purpose. |

11. Data Processing on the Brewbrain Platform (my.brewbrain.nl)
Our Float and Float Pro devices require the use of the Brewbrain platform at my.brewbrain.nl to function. When you purchase a Brewbrain device, you will therefore need to create a platform account. This section describes the personal and device data we process in the context of the platform.
The platform is hosted on a VPS server located within the European Union. No data is transferred to third countries in connection with the platform.
Account Registration
To use the platform, an account is required. When registering a Brewbrain device, you provide an email address. If no account exists for that email address, a new account is created automatically. During registration we collect:
- Name
- Email address
- Password (stored in hashed form)
This data is processed on the basis of contract performance pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR, as an account is necessary to provide the service.
Device Registration and Measurement Data
In order to receive and display data from your Brewbrain device, the following data is collected and stored when you register a device and during its operation:
- Device serial number and MAC address
- Device alias (user-defined name)
- Measurements transmitted by the device (e.g. specific gravity, temperature, and other brewing parameters)
- Wi-Fi network name (SSID) of the network the device is connected to
- Wi-Fi signal strength (RSSI)
This data is processed on the basis of contract performance pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR. The Wi-Fi SSID and signal strength are collected solely for diagnostic, connectivity, and technical support purposes.
Only Brewbrain devices can be registered on the platform.
Data Retention
All account data and measurement data are stored indefinitely, allowing you to access your full brew history at any time. You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting us at support@brewbrain.nl. Upon a deletion request, all personal data and device data linked to your account will be permanently removed.
Third-Party Integrations
The platform offers optional integrations with third-party brewing services (such as Brewfather). These integrations are disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled by you. If you activate an integration, the device measurement data recorded on our platform (see above) is forwarded to the respective third-party service. No account or personal information is shared with third-party integration services.
The activation of an integration constitutes your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR for the transfer of your device data to the selected third-party service. You can withdraw this consent at any time by disabling the integration in your account settings. The privacy practices of third-party services are governed by their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review before enabling an integration.
