Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026 · Please have this page reviewed by an adviser qualified in German law before launch.

This Privacy Policy explains how Magnetic Screens (a division of Caruso Consulting Co Ltd, "we", "us" or "our") collects, uses, shares and protects your personal information when you visit insectscreens.de or buy from us. We handle your data lawfully, fairly and transparently, in line with the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, BDSG 2018).

Who is responsible

The controller for your data is Caruso Consulting Co Ltd, trading as Magnetic Screens. Our German address and our registered address are both on the Imprint page. You can reach us about anything on this page at theteam@insectscreens.de.

What we collect and why

Order data. Your name, email address, delivery address, phone number and order contents. We need these to perform the contract with you (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). We never see or store your full card number: payments go through Stripe or PayPal, who are the ones handling card data.

Enquiry data. What you send us through a contact or quote form, so we can answer you. This is also contract performance, or our legitimate interest in replying to you (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Analytics data. Only if you consent. See the Cookie Policy for what is set and how to change your mind (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

How long we keep it

Order records are kept for as long as German commercial and tax law requires, which is generally up to ten years under section 147 of the Fiscal Code (Abgabenordnung) and section 257 of the Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch). Enquiries that do not become orders are deleted once the matter is closed and there is no longer a reason to keep them.

Who we share it with

Only the parties needed to get your order to you and to run the site: our payment providers (Stripe, PayPal), our email provider, our delivery partners, and our hosting and analytics providers. They act as processors on our instructions, or as controllers in their own right where they set their own purposes, as payment providers do. We do not sell your data.

Some of these providers process data outside the EU. Where they do, the transfer is covered by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.

Your rights

You have the right to access your data, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of what was done before you withdrew it (Art. 15 to 21 GDPR).

To exercise any of these rights, email us at theteam@insectscreens.de. We respond within the timeframe the GDPR requires, which is normally one month.

You can also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. For us that is the Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen (LDI NRW), because our German address is in Düsseldorf: ldi.nrw.de. You may also complain to the authority where you live or where you believe the infringement happened. The Bundesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit (BfDI) is the federal commissioner and supervises federal public bodies rather than a private shop like this one.

Security

The site runs over HTTPS, payment pages are handled by our payment providers, and access to order data is limited to the people who need it to fulfil your order.
