1. Terms used

1.1. “Personal data” is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”); A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by association with an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier (e.g., cookie), or one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

1.2. “Processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means. The term is broad and covers virtually any handling of data.

1.3. “Controller” means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

2. Relevant legal bases

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal bases for our data processing.

If the legal basis is not mentioned in the privacy policy, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 (1) (a) and Art. 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing for the fulfillment of our services and the implementation of contractual measures as well as responding to inquiries is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

3. Changes and updates to the privacy policy

We ask you to regularly inform yourself about the content of our privacy policy. We will adapt the privacy policy as soon as changes to the data processing we carry out make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require action on your part (e.g., consent) or other individual notification.

4. Security measures

4.1. In accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of the processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. These measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as access, input, transfer, availability, and separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure that the rights of data subjects are exercised, data is deleted, and responses are made to data breaches. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account during the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection through technology design and data protection-friendly default settings (Art. 25 GDPR).

4.2. The security measures include, in particular, the encrypted transmission of data between your browser and our server.

5. Disclosure and transfer of data

5.1. If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors or third parties), transfer it to them, or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is only done on the basis of a legal permission (e.g., if the transfer of data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary for the performance of a contract in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR), you have consented to this, a legal obligation provides for this, or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g., when using agents, hosting providers, tax, economic, and legal advisors, customer care, accounting, billing, and similar services that allow us to efficiently and effectively fulfill our contractual obligations, administrative tasks, and duties).

5.2. If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called “order processing agreement,” this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.

6. Transfers to third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this occurs in the context of using third-party services or disclosing or transferring data to third parties, this will only take place if it is necessary for the fulfillment of our (pre)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, due to a legal obligation, or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we only process or have the data processed in a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR are met. This means that processing is carried out, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination of a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU (e.g., for the USA through the “Privacy Shield”) or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (so-called “standard contractual clauses”).

You may object to the future processing of data concerning you at any time in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR. In particular, you may object to processing for direct marketing purposes.

10. Cookies and right to object to direct marketing

10.1. “Cookies” are small files that are stored on users’ computers. Various types of information can be stored in cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit to an online offering. Temporary cookies, or “session cookies” or “transient cookies,” are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online service and closes their browser. Such a cookie can store, for example, the contents of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status.

Cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed are referred to as “permanent” or “persistent.” For example, the login status can be stored if users visit the site after several days. Such cookies can also store the interests of users, which are used for reach measurement or marketing purposes. Cookies from providers other than the controller operating the online offering are referred to as “third-party cookies” (otherwise, if they are only the controller’s cookies, they are referred to as “first-party cookies”).

10.2. We use temporary and permanent cookies and provide information about this in our privacy policy. If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in their browser’s system settings. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser’s system settings. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this online offer.

10.3. A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes

can be declared for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/.

services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by deactivating them in the browser settings. Please note that in this case, not all functions of this online offer may be available.

11. Deletion of data

11.1. The data processed by us will be deleted or restricted in its processing in accordance with Art.

17 and 18 of the GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no legal retention obligations that prevent deletion. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons.

11.2. Germany: In accordance with legal requirements, data is stored for 6 years in particular in accordance with Section 257 (1) of the German Commercial Code (HGB) (trading books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual financial statements, commercial letters, booking documents, etc.) and for 10 years in accordance with Section 147 (1) of the German Fiscal Code (AO) (books, records, management reports, booking documents, commercial and business letters, documents relevant for taxation, etc.).

12. Contact and customer service

12.1. When contacting us (via contact form or email), the user’s details are processed for the purpose of handling the contact request and its processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR.

12.2. We delete the requests if they are no longer required. We review the necessity every two years; we store requests from customers who have a customer account permanently and refer to the customer account information for deletion. Furthermore, the statutory archiving obligations apply.

13. Collection of access data and log files

13.1. Based on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f. GDPR, we collect data about every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name of the website accessed, the file, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address, and the requesting provider.

13.2. Log file information is stored for security reasons (e.g., to investigate misuse or fraud) for a maximum of seven days and then deleted. Data that must be retained for evidentiary purposes is excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.

14. Online presence on social media

14.1. Based on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR, we maintain an online presence on social networks and platforms in order to communicate with customers, interested parties, and users who are active there and to inform them about our services. When accessing the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of their respective operators apply.

14.2. Unless otherwise stated in our privacy policy, we process the data of users who communicate with us within social networks and platforms, e.g., by posting on our online presences or sending us messages.

15. Google Analytics

15.1. Based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f. GDPR), we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offering by users is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

15.2. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

15.3. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offering by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offering, and to provide us with other services related to the use of this online offering and the Internet. In doing so, pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.

15.4. We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This means that the IP address of users will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

15.5. The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser is not merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting their browser software settings accordingly; users can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the online offer, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

15.6. Further information on data use by Google, settings and objection options can be found on Google’s websites: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners (“Data use by Google when you use our partners’ websites or apps”), https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads (“Data use for advertising purposes”), https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated (“Manage information that Google uses to show you ads”).

16. Communication via post, email, fax, or telephone

16.1. We use remote communication methods such as post, telephone, or email for business transactions and marketing purposes. In doing so, we process inventory data, address and contact details, and contract data of customers, participants, interested parties, and communication partners. 16.2 Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR in conjunction with legal requirements for advertising communications. Contact is only made with the consent of the contact partners or within the scope of legal permissions, and the processed data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required and otherwise upon objection/revocation or cessation of the legal basis for authorization or legal archiving obligations.

17. Integration of third-party services and content

17.1. Within our online offering, we use content or service offerings from third-party providers on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “content”). . This always requires that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, as they would not be able to send the content to their browsers without the IP address. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content.

We endeavor to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. Pixel tags can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information can also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may include technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time, and other information about the use of our online offering, and may also be linked to such information from other sources.

17.2. The following overview provides a list of third-party providers and their content, along with links to their privacy policies, which contain further information on data processing and, in some cases, already mentioned here, options for objection (so-called opt-out):

– External fonts from Google, LLC., https://www.google.com/fonts (“Google Fonts”). Google Fonts are integrated by calling up a server at Google (usually in the USA). Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy, opt-out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.
