Terms used
“Personal data” is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “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 indicate the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person. “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. “Controller” means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

Relevant legal basis:
In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we hereby inform you of the legal basis 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 safeguard 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 (1) para d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Cooperation with processors and third parties:
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 pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 para b GDPR), if you have consented to this, if a legal obligation provides for this, or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.). If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a“data processing agreement,” this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.

Transfers to non-EU-member countries:
If we process data in a non-EU-member 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 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 non-EU-member 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 US through the “Privacy Shield”) or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (“standard contractual clauses”).

Rights of data subjects:
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether data concerning you is being processed and to obtain information about this data, as well as further information and a copy of the data in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR.

Cookies and right to object to direct marketing:
“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 that are offered by providers other than the controller operating the online offer are referred to as “third-party cookies” (otherwise, if they are only the controller’s cookies, they are referred to as “first-party cookies”). We may 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 must deactivate the corresponding option in their browser’s system settings. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser’s system settings. Excluding cookies may lead to functional restrictions of this online offering. 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/. Furthermore, storing cookies can be deactivated in the browser settings. Please note that in this case, not all functions of this online offering may be available.

Deletion and blocking of data:
The data we process will be deleted or restricted in its processing in accordance with 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 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. We process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary for storage purposes, or if this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the storage purposes no longer apply or if a storage period prescribed by European directives, regulations, or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions. In accordance with legal requirements in Germany, data is stored for six (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, accounting documents, etc.) and for 10 years in accordance with Section 147 (1) of the German Fiscal Code (AO) (books, records, management reports, accounting documents, commercial and business letters, documents relevant for taxation, etc.).

Hosting:
The hosting services we use serve to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services, and technical maintenance services, which we use for the purposes of operating this online offering. In doing so, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, interested parties, and visitors to this online offering on the basis of our legitimate interests in the efficient and secure provision of this online offering in accordance with Art. 6 (1) para f GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR (conclusion of a data processing agreement).

Collection of access data and log files:
We, or our hosting provider, collect data about every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files) on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) para f. GDPR. 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. Log file information is stored for security reasons (e.g. to investigate misuse or fraud) for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. Data that must be retained for evidentiary purposes is excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been clarified as required.

SSL encryption:
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as the site operator. When SSL encryption is activated, the data you send to us has a high security standard.

Provision of contractual services:
We process inventory data (e.g., names and addresses as well as contact details of users), contract data (e.g., services used, names of contact persons, payment information) for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations and services in accordance with Art. 6 (1) para b. GDPR. The entries marked as mandatory in online forms are required for the conclusion of the contract. When you use our online services, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. Storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as those of users, in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. This data is not passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. We do not process usage data (e.g., the websites visited on our online offering, interest in our products). The data is deleted after the expiry of the statutory warranty and comparable obligations; the necessity of storing the data is reviewed every three years; in the case of statutory archiving obligations, the data is deleted after its expiry. Information in any customer account remains until it is deleted.

Contact:
When contacting us (e.g., via contact form, email, telephone, or social media), the user’s details are processed for the purpose of handling the contact request and its processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. User information may be stored in a customer relationship management system (“CRM system”) or comparable inquiry organization system. We delete inquiries if they are no longer required. We review the necessity every two years; furthermore, the statutory archiving obligations regarding storage and deletion apply.

Integration of third-party services and content:
Within our online offering, we use third-party content and services 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 para f. GDPR) from third-party providers 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 obtain 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 displaying 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 “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, as well as be linked to such information from other sources.
