General information

We would like to inform you about the collection and use of your personal data in accordance with our legal obligations.

When you use our website, personal data about you is collected. You can do this by entering the data yourself, e.g. your e-mail address. However, our system also collects data from you automatically, such as your visit to our website. This is done regardless of the device or software you use to access our website.

Any input of data by you on our website is voluntary; you will not suffer any disadvantages if you do not disclose your data. Without certain data, however, it is not possible for us to provide services or conclude contracts. We will inform you of such mandatory information in each case.

On this website, personal data of the user is only collected within the framework of the applicable data protection law, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The technical terms used in the text are explained in more detail in Art. 4 of the GDPR.

Data processing is permitted under the GDPR in three cases in particular:

• pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a and 7 GDPR, if you have consented to data processing by us; in each case, we will inform you in advance in this data protection declaration and on the occasion of the consent in accordance with Art. 4 No. 11 GDPR exactly for what purpose and under what circumstances your data will be processed by us;
• pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if the processing of your personal data is necessary for the initiation, conclusion or performance of a contractual relationship;
• pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR if, after a balancing of interests, the processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests; this includes in particular our interests in analyzing, optimizing and securing the offer on our website – this includes in particular an analysis of user behavior, the creation of profiles for advertising purposes and the storage of access data as well as the use of third-party providers.

Inventory data

We collect inventory data insofar as it is necessary for the establishment, content or modification of a contractual relationship (including free of charge) between us and the user. This may include Customer data (e.g. name, address), contact data (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number), service data (e.g. service ordered, duration, fee). When establishing the user relationship, we will request this data from you (e.g. name, address and e-mail address) and also inform you to what extent the information is bindingly required in order to establish the user relationship.

Usage data

We also collect usage data to enable the user to make use of the services on our website. This may include Usage data (e.g. websites or areas accessed, duration of visit, interest in services), content data (e.g. data entered or uploaded by you, texts, images, sounds, videos), metadata (e.g. identity of your device, location, IP address).

We only merge usage data if and insofar as this is necessary for billing purposes. Otherwise, we will only create usage data under a pseudonym and only if you have not objected to this. You can send this objection at any time to the address given in the legal notice or to the controller named in this privacy policy.

The legal basis for this data processing is, on the one hand, our legitimate interests in accordance with. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in the analysis of the website and its use, if applicable also the legal permission to store data in the context of the initiation of a contractual relationship in accordance with Art. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Furthermore, our provider stores information, the so-called server log files, which are automatically transmitted by your browser each time you use this website. These are:

• Your IP address
• Type and version of your browser
• Hostname
• Time of visit
• the website from which you visited our website
• Name of the website accessed
• exact time of the call and
• the amount of data transferred

This data is only used for statistical purposes and does not enable us to identify you as a user.

Initial contact via electronic request

If you contact us in electronic form (e.g. e-mail, fax, telephone, messenger, etc.), we store and process the data you have provided to us (e.g. name, contact information, content of the request). The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in effective customer communication in accordance with. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and, insofar as it concerns a request to enter into or fulfill a contract, also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
We will only pass this data on to third parties if it is necessary (in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) for the fulfillment of the contract, if this corresponds to the overriding interest in an effective service (in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or if your consent (in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or another legal permission or obligation exists.
You can request information from us at any time and free of charge about the purpose of the processing, the origin and, if applicable, the recipient of your personal data. You can also request the rectification, erasure and restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can object to the (further) processing of your data at any time and have a right to data portability and a right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
Your data will only be stored for as long as required for the purpose of the respective data processing. Further storage may be considered in particular if this is still necessary for legal prosecution or for legitimate interests or if there is a legal obligation to retain the data (e.g. tax retention periods, statute of limitations).

Consent

Where we ask for your consent to process your data, we will inform you in clear and easily accessible language about the cases for which you are giving your consent. Any consent we ask for is voluntary, any benefit you wish to obtain by giving your consent can be obtained without it, just ask us.
You have the right to withdraw any consent you have given us to process your personal data at any time. This can be done by sending an informal message, e.g. via our contact form, an e-mail to the e-mail address given in the imprint or an unsubscribe link (if offered by us). Your revocation does not affect the legality of the data processing carried out up to that point.

Storage duration

Your data will only be stored for as long as required for the purpose of the respective data processing. Further storage may be considered in particular if this is still necessary for legal prosecution by us or for our other legitimate interests.
For your inventory data that was required to fulfill a contractual relationship (even free of charge), this means that we store it until the complete fulfillment or termination of the contractual relationship plus the limitation period (which is generally 2 or 3 years) plus a reasonable surcharge for any interruption of the limitation period.
For your usage data collected when you use the website, this means that we only store it for as long as is necessary for the proper functioning of our website and for as long as is in our legitimate interest. We will primarily only store statistical data in pseudonymized form.
In addition, we store your data to the extent that we are legally obliged to do so. These are in particular the tax retention periods, which are generally 6 or even 10 years.

Rights of the users

You can request information from us at any time and free of charge about the personal data we have stored about you. In order to prevent misuse, it is necessary to identify you personally.

Deletion, correction, restriction

You can demand that we correct (including by supplementing) incorrect data at any time, restrict its processing or delete your data. This applies in particular if the processing purpose has expired, a required consent has been revoked and no other legal basis exists or our data processing is unlawful. We will then immediately correct, block or even delete your personal data within the legal framework.

Contradiction

ANY PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA THAT WE BASE ON A BALANCING OF INTERESTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ART. 6 ABS. 1 lit. f GDPR, YOU MAY OBJECT AT ANY TIME IF THERE ARE REASONS FOR DOING SO ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR PERSONAL SITUATION.
WE WILL THEN NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS ON OUR PART.

Data transmission

You can request that we transfer the data stored about you in machine-readable form.

Complaint

If you feel that your rights have been violated by our data processing, you can lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority( you can find a list of authoritieshere ).

Newsletter

RapidMail:

 

If you subscribe to our company’s newsletter, the data in the respective input mask will be transmitted to the controller. Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that you will receive an e-mail after registration asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can log in with other people’s e-mail addresses. When registering for the newsletter, the user’s IP address and the date and time of registration are stored. This serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address of the data subject. The data will not be passed on to third parties. An exception exists if there is a legal obligation to pass on the data. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter. The subscription to the newsletter can be canceled by the data subject at any time. Consent to the storage of personal data can also be revoked at any time. For this purpose, you will find a corresponding link in every newsletter. The legal basis for the processing of data after registration for the newsletter by the user is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is Section 7 para. 3 UWG.

Use of rapidmail

Description and purpose: We use rapidmail to send newsletters. The provider is rapidmail GmbH, Wentzingerstraße 21, 79106 Freiburg, Germany. Among other things, rapidmail is used to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored on rapidmail’s servers in Germany. If you do not wish to be analyzed by rapidmail, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this purpose in every newsletter message. For the purpose of analysis, the emails sent with rapidmail contain a so-called tracking pixel, which connects to the rapidmail servers when the email is opened. In this way, it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened. We can also use rapidmail to determine whether and which links in the newsletter message are clicked on. Optionally, links in the e-mail can be set as tracking links with which your clicks can be counted.

Legal basis: The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

Recipient: The recipient of the data is rapidmail GmbH.

Transfer to third countries: Data is not transferred to third countries.

Duration: The data stored by us as part of your consent for the purpose of the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from the servers of rapidmail after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the member area) remain unaffected by this.

Revocation option: You have the option to revoke your consent to data processing at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

Further data protection information: For more information, please refer to rapidmail’s data security information at: https://www.rapidmail.de/datensicherheit. For more information on the analysis functions of rapidmail, please see the following link: https://www.rapidmail.de/wissen-und-hilfe

There is no assignment to a device ID.

 

We can also use Google Analytics to record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks, among other things. Google Analytics also uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected data records and uses machine learning technologies for data analysis.

 

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting).
