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.

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

When you access our website, usage data is generated that is technically necessary to deliver the site. This may include: details of the access (e.g. pages opened, time and duration of the visit), content data (e.g. data, text or images you enter or upload) and technical details (e.g. browser, device, IP address).

Hoster

1&1 IONOS SE

Our Website is presented in the Internet by a service provider.

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

We have concluded a data processing agreement with our provider.

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

You can find more information on data processing at our provider in his privacy policy at https://www.ionos.de/terms-gtc/terms-privacy.

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.

Each time this website is used, our provider processes information in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits automatically whenever a website is accessed. This data consists of:

  • your IP address
  • type and version of your browser
  • host name
  • time of visit
  • the page from which you came to our page
  • name of the page opened
  • exact time of usage as well as
  • the amount of data transferred

This data is processed in order to deliver the website, to ensure its secure and trouble-free operation and to analyse errors; this includes detecting and warding off attacks and abusive access. We do not evaluate the log files in order to identify you personally; they are attributed to a person only where this is necessary to investigate an attack or a malfunction. The log files are deleted as soon as they are no longer required for these purposes; they are retained for longer only insofar as a security incident needs to be investigated.“

Advertisements

Insofar as we send you advertising by email, we do so only with your consent or – for our own similar offers to existing customers – insofar as the law permits this without consent. You may object to the use of your email address for advertising at any time.

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 statutory limitation periods 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 and the security of our website and as long as we still have a legitimate interest.

Beyond that, we still store your data for as long as we are required to do so by law. This concerns in particular commercial and tax-law retention obligations; in this respect, we store your data for their duration.

Cookies

In addition to technically necessary cookies, our website also uses cookies and comparable technologies that are not strictly necessary — for example for statistics, reach measurement, marketing or the integration of external content. We only use these if you have consented beforehand. We obtain your consent through a cookie notice (cookie banner) before any such cookies are set.

You can withdraw or adjust your consent at any time with effect for the future — through the cookie settings on our website. Which cookies are used in detail, what purpose they serve and how long they are stored can be seen in the cookie settings or in the cookie notice.

You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future: Revoke consents.

Independently of this, you can also control the storage of cookies through your browser: you can block cookies entirely or in individual cases and delete cookies that have already been stored at any time. The manufacturers of common browsers explain how to do this:

If you block cookies completely, this may limit the functionality of our website and other websites. Information on advertising cookies from third-party providers and how you can manage them can be found at www.youronlinechoices.eu.

Transfer of data

Transfer to Third Parties

We dislike spam as much as you do. We will therefore not transfer your data to third parties, unless permitted by law.

Transfer of customer data may either

  • be required for the performance of a contract and in that case be permitted according to Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR, or
  • be permitted based on our legitimate interest in an effective service structure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR, or
  • covered by your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR, or
  • become necessary if we will be legitimately asked by a government or an agency to hand over your data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (c) GDPR.

If your data are transferred to third parties, this is mentioned in this privacy policy.

Transfer to other countries, particularly USA

Insofar as we transfer personal data to countries outside the European Union, in particular the USA, in accordance with the provisions set out below, we will only carry out such a transfer where an adequate level of data protection, appropriate safeguards or your consent, and thus a transfer permitted under the GDPR, is in place.

Users‘ Rights

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.

Deletion, Correction, Limitation

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.

Objection

The right to object to advertisement is governed by our text regarding consent:

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 by e-mail to the address given in our legal notice or – where we offer this – via a contact form or an unsubscribe link.

Your withdrawal has no effect on the legality of the data processing carried out up to that point.

Data Transfer

Subject to the conditions of Art. 20 GDPR, you may request that we provide you with the data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or – where technically feasible – transmit it to another controller.

Complaint

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

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.

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 by e-mail to the address given in our legal notice or – where we offer this – via a contact form or an unsubscribe link. Your withdrawal has no effect on the legality of the data processing carried out up to that point.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

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.

Data Entry

Encryption of Data Entry

When you enter data on our website, whether in a contact form, during the registration process, when you log in or for payment purposes, the website, where you enter the data, is encrypted. Thus, third parties can not read what you enter. You will recognise the encryption by the lock symbol in your browser and by the URL beginning with “https“ instead of “http“.

Contact Forms

General contact form

When you fill out a contact form or when you send us an e-mail or another electronic message, your information will be stored for the processing of the request, for possible follow-up questions or for other related questions and will only be used to follow up with the request.

Your data will be transferred in an encrypted manner, preventing third parties from reading your data while it is being entered.

Basis for this storage is the safeguarding of our legitimate interests in regard to communication with interested users pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR and in the case of inquiries prior to entering into a contract also the performance of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para (b) GDPR.

Your data remains stored for as long as the processing of the request requires, in particular as long as the storage is still necessary to perform the contract, to pursue our rights or for our other legitimate interests or we are compelled by law to keep your data stored (for example based on tax-law requirements to maintain files).

Offer

On our website, you find a contact form, through which you may request a specific offer for our goods and services. We will ask for for the necessary data as in the form, so we can prepare the offer.

Your data will be entered in an encrypted manner, so that third parties cannot read your data while being entered.

The legal basis for this storage is our legitimate interest in communication with interested users in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR and in case of contractual requests also the storage of contractual data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.

These data remain saved until you will terminate your access by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address listed in the "About Us" section. After that, they will remain stored in connection with the necessary performance of the contract (see the section on user/contract data).

Job Applications

If you send us a job application, we will process the personal data from your application. This includes all of your application documents. We will in particular store your contact information, the information about your schooling and training, internships, work experience as well as certificates.

We ask you not to send any information which tells us about race, ethnic origin, gender, religion or worldview, disability, age, illnesses, physical or mental health, pregnancy, political views, philosophical or religious convictions, membership in a union, sexual identity or sexual life, because we evaluate applications independent of such information.

Applications are subject to our strict internal rights management. Only employees who are part of the application process will receive access to the application, usually only the HR department as well as the management, if applicable. All of our employees are ordered to maintain confidentiality.

The legal basis for processing your application information is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, as it serves the decision on establishing an employment relationship with you.

If you will be hired based on the application, your information will be stored in your personnel file in accordance with the separate privacy policy for employees' data. If your application will not be successful, we will delete your information completely within 3 months from the rejection, unless you have declared your specific consent to use your information for future applications. You may revoke this consent at any time, upon which we will immediately delete your application information.

Newsletter

Active Campaign

If you subscribe to the newsletter offered on our page, we will inform you in detail about the information we will send you, which of your data will be stored and for what it will be used. We will not pass on your data to third parties and we will only use it for mailing the newsletter.

We will only mail you the newsletter if you have provided us with prior consent. To that purpose, you will receive an e-mail from us with a link and further details and we will ask for your consent. By confirming that link, you declare your consent to receive the newsletter and advertisement from us.

Because we are legally required to record your consent as part of the double opt-in, your subscription to the newsletter, the mailing of our consent e-mail and your consent by clicking on the link will be recorded and stored with location and time as well as with your IP address.

The basis for the storage is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR, which you grant us when you register for the newsletter. You may withdraw that consent at any time, for which any notice to us, without any formal requirement, is sufficient (for example through the contact form or by e-mail or by using the link to unsubscribe, which is included in each e-mail). This withdrawal has no effect on the legality of the data processing carried out up to that point.

When mailing the newsletter, we use (as part of our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect processing of our customer data and analysis pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR) the provider ActiveCampaign, Inc. (1 N Dearborn, 5th Floor Chicago, Illinois 60602) from the USA. This means that your data will be exported to the USA.

In our newsletter, we will also ask you explicitly to provide your consent to forwarding your data to ActiveCampaign and to the USA. By clicking on the link, you express your consent, which you may withdraw at any time.

Regarding the handling of your data by ActiveCampaign, we refer you to the privacy policy of ActiveCampaign.

ActiveCampaign will only use your data when mailing the newsletter and they will analyse that mailing on our behalf.

In addition, ActiveCampaign will only use your data to improve its own service.

ActiveCampaign will not use the data to contact you directly or to pass on your data to third parties.

The mails used by ActiveCampaign include a "web beacon", which will inform ActiveCampaign about the opening of the newsletter and/or the clicking on a link contained therein by you. As part of that process, information regarding your browser, your location and your IP address will be transmitted to ActiveCampaign. This information will be used to optimise our communication with you.

Our newsletter provider will also use this data for purposes of analysis and optimisation of their own service, but only in pseudonymised form (meaning that your identification is not possible). But your data will not be used by the provider to contact you directly.

Your data remain stored as long as you are in our mailing list, as long as the storing is necessary to protect our rights or for other legitimate interests or if we are bound by law to keep your data longer.

We have entered into a contract on data processing with Calendly, according to which Calendly will only process your data according to our instructions.

Videoconferences, Webinare and Onlinemeetings

E-Commerce Platforms

Video conferences and online meetings (Zoom)

For video conferences, webinars and online meetings we use the service "Zoom". The provider is Zoom Communications, Inc., 55 Almaden Boulevard, 6th Floor, San Jose, CA 95113, USA.

When you take part in a meeting or webinar, Zoom processes the data required for this purpose — in particular your (display) name, your email address, information about your device and your connection and, depending on your selection and the features of the meeting, audio, video and chat content.

This processing serves to enable the meeting you wish to attend.

Where we ask you separately for your consent — for example for a recording — we process the data concerned solely on that basis; you may withdraw any consent given at any time with effect for the future.

In this context, data may be transferred to Zoom in the USA. An appropriate basis for this exists: the European Commission has determined that accordingly certified companies in the USA ensure an adequate level of data protection; Zoom is certified accordingly. In addition, contractual safeguards are in place to protect your data.

Further information on how Zoom handles your data can be found in Zoom's privacy statement at https://www.zoom.com/en/trust/privacy/privacy-statement/.

If you don't want your data to be transmitted, you simply log out from Google before.

If you provide your consent, your data (in particular first name and surname, street address, post code, town, date of birth, e-mail address, IP address, phone number, mobile number) as well as other data, which are required to process the order, like your preferred way of payment (for example payment by credit card, pre-invoice or bank draft) will be sent to PayPal.

To check your identity and credit rating, PayPal or a partner company instructed by PayPal will, in accordance with your consent, also transmit data to credit rating agencies and will receive information about your credit rating based on mathematical-statistical calculations, which are based on your address, among other factors. This includes profiling, which can influence the conclusion of the contract and the payment processing.

You will find detailed information about this and about the credit-check agencies used as well as which data is collected for which purpose in the privacy policy of PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full?locale.x=de_DE

The basis for passing on your data to PayPal and the other credit rating agencies and third parties is primarily your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para 1 (a) GDPR, which you provide explicitly when you are taken to PayPal as well as our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect online offering and its design and optimisation in an economically efficient manner pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR.

You can withdraw your consent towards PayPal at any time. But PayPal might remain authorised to process, use and transmit your personal data if this will still be necessary to carry out the contractual payment, if required by law, or if ordered by a court or a government agency.

PayPal places cookies to offer you an optimal online presence, tailored to your needs. If you do not want your data to be sent to the services of PayPal, you can prevent the placement of cookies by PayPal. For more details, we refer you to the chapter about cookies in this privacy policy. You can also contact us outside of PayPal at any time, thus preventing the storage and forwarding of your data to PayPal. For that purpose you may use the means of contacting us listed in this policy.

Our Social Media Fan Page(s) - General Information

Beside our website, we also use fan page(s) on social media platforms.

Above, we have already informed you about the data processing on our website and we have in particular made sure that the fact alone that you access our website is not yet forwarded to the social media platform.

Following the ECJ ruling dated 5 June 2018 about social media presences, we want to inform you about the data processing during your visit to our social media fan page(s):

On the basis of our legitimate interest in a timely customer communication pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR as well as for advertising and public relations purposes, we present ourselves and our offers on social media fan page(s).

Our social media fan page(s) usually can be accessed online independently of you having a user account with the relevant platform or not. But in either case, your data will be processed by the social media platform.

Each time the social media platform is accessed, your IP address will be collected and stored. Usually, a cookie will also be placed on your page, which will save your visit and further data about your visit to the social media platform.

If you are logged in with the social media platform, your visit will also be spotted by a cookie or through other technological means and will be attributed to your user account.

Thus, the social media platform is usually able to analyse your user behaviour.

In this process, a user profile with your interests is generated, which the social media platform will use to provide you with a user experience tailored to your interests, in particular advertisement tailored to your interests within and outside of the social media platform – even across different devices, if applicable.

Your data may also be used for market research.

For the details, we refer you to the following privacy policies of the social media platform(s) used by us.

We can usually also use the data of the social media platform in order to allow you to use our fan page in accordance with your interests or to approach you with advertising.

When you interact with our fan page and if you are logged in with the relevant social media platform, according to the social media page's terms of use, we can usually also recognise your user profile and see your content.

If you do not want this, we point you to our explanations about cookies above, with general information about cookies and their deactivation. There, we have laid out in general terms how you can prevent or limit cookies being stored on your devices. Further information about the respective social media platform can be found hereinafter.

According to the aforementioned ECJ ruling dated 5 June 2018, we are always jointly responsible for our social media fan page(s) together with the relevant social media platform.

This means that you may also exercise your general rights, which we have listed in detail above under the heading “Users' Rights”, against us. To that purpose, we refer you to our contact details at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.

Please keep in mind, though, that we have no conclusive knowledge of the exact scope of the processing of your data by the social media platform and have even less influence on it. Therefore, we kindly ask you to contact the relevant social media platform in the first place regarding your rights.

We generally leave your data on the social media platform and do not import it onto our server. But if that should occur, our general information regarding the storage period will apply.

Further information about the processing of your data and the storage period on the social media platform can be found in the respective privacy policy of the social media platform, which we have listed hereinafter.
