Users‘ Rights - Information

You may request us anytime to provide information about the personal data stored about you free of charge. To avoid misuse, this will require personal identification.

You may at any time demand from us that we correct (or complete) incorrect data as well as a limitation of the processing of data or deletion of your data. This applies in particular if the reason for processing the data is no longer valid, if a required consent has been revoked and there is no other legal basis or if our data processing is unlawful. We will then correct, block or even delete your personal data without delay as far as permitted by law.

Regarding any consent, you have the right to revoke any consent given to us for the processing of your personal data at any time. You just need to contact us without any particular formal requirement, for example through our contact form, an e-mail to the e-mail address indicated in the “About Us” section or a link to unsubscribe (if offered by us). Your withdrawal has no effect on the legality of the data processing carried out up to that point.

You may request us to transfer the data stored about you in machine-readable form.

If you feel that our data processing has violated any of your rights, you may file a complaint with the competent regulatory agency hier here you find a list of agencies).

If and when factual or legal reasons will compel us to amend the Privacy Policy, we will update this page accordingly. This will not change the consent provided by the user.

General Information

Pursuant to our statutory obligations, we would like to inform you about the collection and use of your personal data.

When you use our website, personal data about you will be collected. This may happen by you entering the data yourself, for example your e-mail address. But our system also collects your data automatically, for example whenever you visit our website. This happens irrespective of the device or the software that you use to visit our website.

All data that you enter in our app is provided voluntarily; there are no disadvantages to you if you do not provide data. But without certain data, we are unable to provide services or to conclude contracts. Whenever such information is necessary, we will point it out to you.

On this website, the user’s personal data is only collected within the framework of the existing data-protection law, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The legal terms used in the text are defined in Art. 4 of the GDPR.

Inventory Data, Usage Data

We collect inventory data (for example name, address and e-mail address, possibly services used) insofar as they are required for establishing, defining or amending a contract between us and the user.

We also collect usage data (for example visits to the website, interest in products) to allow the user to use the services on our website and to invoice them. We will only combine usage data if and insofar as it is necessary for billing purposes. Otherwise, we will only put together usage data pseudonymously and only insofar as you have not objected. You may send this objection to the address indicated in the “About Us” section or the responsible authority indicated in this Privacy Policy at any time. The legal basis for this data processing are our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR in analysing the website and your use, possibly also the statutory permission to store data as part of the negotiation of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR. Furthermore, our provider stores information, the so-called server log files, each time the website is used; this is information which is automatically transferred by your browser. In detail, this data consists of:

This data will only be used for statistical purposes and do not allow us to identify you as a user.

Consent

Whenever we ask you for your consent for the processing of your data, we will inform you in clear language and in an easily accessible way about the cases for which you will be granting your consent. Any consent that we ask you for is voluntary. Any advantage that you wish to gain by granting consent is also available without consent; simply ask us.

Your data will generally only remain stored for as long as the purpose of the relevant data processing requires it. Storage beyond that is mainly possible when it is still necessary for us to pursue our rights or for our other legitimate interests or if we are compelled by law to keep your data stored (for example based on tax-law requirements to maintain files, which is generally 6 years, but may last up to 10 years).

Inventory Data

We collect inventory data as far as it is necessary to establish, negotiate or amend a contract (including one without remuneration) between us and the user.

This can be: customer data (for example name, address), contact data (for example e-mail address, phone number), service data (for example services ordered, duration, payment).

Upon establishing the user relationship, we will ask you for this data (for example name, address and e-mail address) and will also tell you which of the information is required to establish the user relationship.

Usage Data

We also collect usage data to allow users to use the services on our website. These may consist of: usage information (for example visited websites or parts, duration of visit, interest in services), content data (for example data, text, images, sounds, videos entered or uploaded by you), meta data (for example identity of your device, location, IP address).

We will only combine usage data if and insofar as it is necessary for billing purposes. Otherwise, we will only put together usage data pseudonymously and only insofar as you have not objected. You may send this objection to the address indicated in the “About Us” section or the responsible authority indicated in this Privacy Policy at any time.

The legal basis for this data processing are our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR in analysing the website and your use, possibly also the statutory permission to store data as part of the negotiation of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.

Hoster

1&1 IONOS SE

We use the service of 1&1 IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany.

With this contract, our provider is obliged to process the data according to our instructions.

The legal basis for this data processing is on the one hand our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect online offering and its design and optimization in an economically efficient manner pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR, and, on the other hand, our contractual or pre-contractual legal relationship in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.

Furthermore, our provider stores information, the so-called server log files, each time the website is used; this is information which is automatically transferred by your browser. In detail, this data consists of:

This data will only be used for statistical purposes and do not allow us to identify you as a user.“

Webflow

On behalf of our legitimate interest in a technically flawless online service and its economically efficient design and optimization acc. to art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR we have built this website with the CMS system Webflow by Webflow Inc., 398 11th Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, California, 94103, USA.

Webflow enables us to create our website and keep it available for access in Webflow's worldwide hosting network.

These are either made available to Webflow or automatically recorded through the use of Webflow services ("non-personal data").

On the basis of such non-personal data, it is not possible for Webflow to understand who the data came from.

The non-personal data is technical information and usage information, e.g. the browsing and clickstream behavior of visitors and users of services and scrolls as well as non-identifying data about the device used, operating system, browser, screen resolution, language and keyboard settings, Internet providers, referral / exit pages, date / time stamp, etc. of the user or visitor.

As a hoster, Webflow also collects data that can identify a person with manageable effort ("personal data").

In principle, this personal data is all data that you enter when using the website.

This can include contact details (e.g. email address or telephone number), billing data (name, billing address, payment method and bank details), data relating to a browser or user session (IP address, geographical location and / or unique identifier of the device), data relating to related accounts of third parties (such as the email address or username for a related PayPal, Google or Facebook account), scanned ID documents provided to us (e.g. ID card, driver's license, passport or official documents for company registration), and any other personal data.

When using this provider, it may happen that your data is transferred to the USA. However, this provider is certified according to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This means that the transfer of data to the USA is possible in a legally secure manner on the basis of the adequacy decision concluded on 10.07.2023.

Our Website-System provider takes physical, electronic and procedural security measures to protect personal data. Among other things, our Website-System provider only offers encrypted access to our website.

Insofar as we send advertising, we do so exclusively within the scope of Section 7 (3) of the German Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG) or on the basis of your consent.

Storage Period

Generally, your data will only remain stored as long as required by the purpose of the respective data processing. Storage beyond that is possible in particular if it is still required for pursuing our rights or for other legitimate interests of ours.

For your inventory data which were necessary to perform a contract (including one without remuneration), this means that we store this data until the complete performance or termination of the contractual relationship plus the limitation period (which is generally 2 or 3 years) plus an adequate extra time for potential interruptions of the limitation period.

For your usage data which was collected in the course of your use of the website, this means that we will store it only for the time still required for the proper functionality of our website and as long as we still have a legitimate interest. Statistical information will be primarily stored by us in pseudonymous form.

Beyond that, we still store your data for as long as we are required to do so by law. This concerns in particular the tax-law requirements to keep records, usually for 6 or even 10 years.

More then essential Cookies

Upon opening the website, we have asked you to consent to the storing of certain cookies which will be placed while you visit our website. Based on your consent pursuant to Art 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR, our website thus uses cookies, so that our offer can be used in a better, more effective and more secure way.

A cookie is a record of information that is stored on your terminal device (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.). These can be “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted when you leave our website. Other cookies are stored on your computer permanently until you delete them. That allows us to recognize your browser when you visit our website again and to provide you with features or offers according to your previous usage.

Your browser allows you to prevent the use of cookies in general or in specific cases. Please check the instructions for your browser to find out more about this. You can also delete cookies following these instructions which we have listed for you:

Blocking cookies may limit the functionality of our website and of other websites visited by you.

HubSpot Hosting / CMS / CRM

Based on our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect online offering and its design and optimization in an economically efficient manner, we use HubSpot for hosting our website. As any other hosting service, HubSpot collects usage data. These are identified and non-identifiable data on the occasion of you accessing our website. These will either be made available to HubSpot or automatically collected when you use HubSpot services (“non-personal data”).

Non-personal data does not allow HubSpot to find out the origin of the data. Non-personal data are technical information and usage information, for example the browsing and click stream behavior of visitors and users of services, session heat maps and scrolls as well as non-identifiable data about the user's or visitor's used device, operating system, browser, screen resolution, language and keyboard settings, internet provider, referral and exit pages, date/time stamp, etc.

As a hosting service, HubSpot also collects data that can identify a person with manageable effort (“personal data”).

This personal data generally consists of all data that you enter when using the website.

These can be contact data (for example e-mail address or phone number), invoice data (name, billing address, payment method and bank connection), data regarding a browser or user session (IP address, geographic location and/or unique identification of the user's device), data regarding connected accounts of third parties (for example e-mail address or user name for a connected PayPal, Google or Facebook account), scanned identity papers sent to us (for example ID card, driving license, passport or company registration documents), and any other personal data.
