The following statement informs you about what kind of personal data we, as the responsible body, collect for what purpose and to what extent this data is made available to third parties.

The processing of personal data requires a legal basis, which we would like to present to you below.
When processing personal data for which we obtain the consent of the data subject, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also includes processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing. The legitimate interest of our company lies in the performance of our business activities and in the analysis, optimization, and maintenance of the security of our online offering.
You have the right to obtain information about the personal data we have stored about you. In particular, you may request information about the purposes of processing, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the origin of your data if it was not collected by us, and the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information about its details.
According to the legal provisions, you also have the right to correct inaccurate data, restrict processing, data portability, and deletion of your personal data. To do so, send us an email with the subject line „Data Protection.“
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the legal provisions.
For reasons arising from your particular situation, you may object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you by us on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f); this also applies to profiling based on these provisions (Art. 21 GDPR). If the legal requirements are met, we will no longer process your personal data.
In the case of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
Your objection will result in the personal data no longer being processed for these purposes.
If you have given your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until withdrawal.
If you exercise one of the above rights as a data subject, we will process your personal data collected in this context in order to respond to your request. Your personal data will be processed in order to comply with a legal obligation.
In the event of an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing of such data that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or your personal data serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Unless we have provided specific information on storage, the following applies: We store personal data for the duration of the respective statutory retention period or for as long as the purpose of collection exists. After the retention period has expired, the data is routinely deleted, unless it is necessary for the initiation or fulfillment of a contract. If user data is not deleted because it is required for other, legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted as far as possible. The data will be blocked in accordance with and will not be processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to user data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons.
When you enter into a contractual relationship with us, we generally collect the following data: title, first and last name, email address, postal address, telephone/mobile number, information necessary for the execution of the contract.
We need this data so that we can identify you as a contractual partner, execute the contract, contact you, and for invoicing purposes. Data processing is carried out at your/our request or on your/our behalf and is necessary for the aforementioned purposes for the mutual fulfillment and obligation arising from the contractual relationship.
We may also process data on the basis of a legitimate interest, e.g., when asserting or defending claims arising from the contractual relationship. The personal data collected will be stored until the end of the contractual relationship and then deleted, unless we are obliged to store it for a longer period in accordance with legal obligations based on tax and commercial law retention and documentation requirements (from the German Commercial Code, Criminal Code, or Fiscal Code).
III. Data processing within the scope of the website
The server statistics automatically store data that the browser transmits to us within the scope of our legitimate interest in analysis and for security reasons (so-called „log files“).
This includes the following data:
- Language and version of the browser software
- Operating system used and its interface
- Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
- Host name of the accessing computer (IP address)
- Date and time of the server request
- Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
- Content of the request (specific page)
- Amount of data transferred
- Access status/HTTP status code.
We cannot usually assign this data to specific individuals. This data is not merged with other data sources. The data is also deleted within 7 days after statistical evaluation. Data that must be retained for evidentiary purposes is excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.
We use hosting services. These are used to provide infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services and technical maintenance services in order to maintain the operation of 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.
When you contact us by email or via a contact form, we store your details in order to answer your questions.
Your data will not be passed on to third parties unless applicable data protection regulations justify such a transfer or we are legally obliged to do so. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. In the event of revocation, your data will be deleted immediately, provided that there is no legal exception for further processing. Otherwise, your data will be deleted once we have processed your request or the purpose of storage no longer applies and there are no other conflicting legal exceptions.
IV. Transfer of data: General and contractual purpose
We pass on data to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract and/or if we are legally obliged and/or entitled to do so in individual cases. The data is typically passed on to contracted service providers, including, among others, hosting, operation, maintenance, and support of IT systems, communication systems, and disposal under certain circumstances. In addition, your data may also be transmitted to postal or delivery services, your bank, tax advisors/auditors, and lawyers.
V. Transfer of data: Tools used in the operation of the website and online services
We do not use any external service providers for the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering.
If your data is to be used for other purposes, we will inform you in advance and will only use the data if you have expressly given your further consent.
VI. Data storage outside the EU/EEA
As indicated in the individual tool descriptions above, we use tools from US third-party providers. If this is necessary for the purposes stated, your IP address may be processed outside the European Economic Area, where a level of data protection in line with European standards is not always guaranteed and confirmed (e.g., by appropriate safeguards within the meaning of Art. 46 GDPR or an adequacy decision by the European Commission). In particular, it cannot be ruled out that security authorities in a third country may gain access to your IP address without you being able to take legally effective action against this.
The transfer of the IP address to these third-party providers is carried out in accordance with Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR on the basis of your express consent given in the consent banner. This consent is voluntary. You can revoke it at any time with effect for the future. This will not result in any disadvantages for you.
In the opinion of some US third-party providers, the conclusion of so-called standard contractual clauses and additional measures taken in accordance with the Schrems II ruling already guarantee a level of protection that meets European standards. However, as the suitability of such measures to ensure an adequate level of data protection is controversial, we have decided to transmit your IP address exclusively with your consent.
The certification of some companies under the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) serves to ensure the level of protection and can be queried here for the companies: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/. This certification is sufficient as a measure to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
VII. Our presence on social media
You can find us on social networks and platforms. We use these platforms to communicate with our customers, prospects, and users who are active there and to inform them about our services and our company.
The processing of the personal data of users active there is based on our legitimate interests in communicating and providing information to and with users. If consent to data processing has been given by users within the framework of the respective social platform, processing is carried out on the basis of this consent.
When you visit one of our social media sites, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your data protection rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaint; see the following section, „Rights of the data subject“) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media platform.
We would like to point out that, despite our joint responsibility, we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the social platform and may forward the rights request to the respective operator in order to better process the rights of the data subject. Our options are generally based on the corporate policy of the respective provider.
Our information on storage can be found below. We have no influence on the storage period of your data, which is stored by the operator of the social platform for its own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below).
Depending on the social platform named below, user data may also be processed outside the European Union. EU standard contractual clauses have been agreed with the US companies, or they are certified under the Data Privacy Framework (DPF), so that possible measures to ensure European data protection law have been taken.
User data is usually processed by the platforms for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created from the usage behavior and resulting interests of users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For this purpose, cookies are usually stored on users‘ computers, in which the usage behavior and interests of users are stored. Data can also be stored in the usage profiles independently of the devices used by users. This occurs in particular when users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them.
For a detailed description of the respective processing and the options for objection, we refer to the information provided by the providers linked below.
