Thank you for visiting our website. First, we would like to introduce ourselves as the data controller within the meaning of applicable data protection law:

General Information

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

When you use our website, personal data relating to you is collected. This may occur when you enter data yourself, such as your email address. Our system also automatically collects data about you, such as information about your visit to our website. This occurs regardless of the device or software you use to access our website.

Any data you enter on our website is provided voluntarily, and you will not suffer any disadvantage if you choose not to disclose your data. However, without certain data, we may not be able to provide services or enter into contracts with you. We will inform you whenever specific information is mandatory.

Personal data is collected on this website only in accordance with applicable data protection law, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The technical terms used in this Privacy Policy are explained in more detail in Art. 4 GDPR.

Under the GDPR, data processing is permitted in particular in the following three cases:

  • pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 7 GDPR, if you have consented to our processing of your data; in each case, we will inform you in advance, both in this Privacy Policy and when obtaining your consent in accordance with Art. 4 No. 11 GDPR, about the purposes for which and the circumstances under which we process your data;

  • pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if the processing of your personal data is necessary for taking steps prior to entering into a contractual relationship, entering into a contract, or performing a contract;

  • pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, if, after balancing the respective interests, processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests. These interests include, in particular, analysing, optimising and securing the services offered on our website, including the analysis of user behaviour, the creation of profiles for advertising purposes, the storage of access data and the use of third-party providers.

Customer and Contract Data

We collect customer and contract data insofar as this is necessary to establish, define the content of, or modify a contractual relationship between us and the user, including relationships involving services provided free of charge.

This may include customer data (e.g. name, address), contact data (e.g. email address, telephone number), and service-related data (e.g. service ordered, duration, price).

When establishing the user relationship, we will request this information from you (e.g. name, address and email address) and will also inform you which information is mandatory in order to establish the relationship.

Usage Data

We also collect usage data in order to enable users to make use of the services provided on our website.

This may include usage information (e.g. websites or sections accessed, duration of visits, interest in services), content data (e.g. data, text, images, audio or videos entered or uploaded by you), and metadata (e.g. identity of your device, location and IP address).

We combine usage data only if and insofar as this is necessary for billing purposes. Otherwise, we will create usage data only in pseudonymised form and only insofar as you have not objected to this. You may object at any time by contacting us at the address stated in our Legal Notice or the data controller named in this Privacy Policy.

The legal basis for this data processing is, on the one hand, our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in analysing our website and its use and, where applicable, the legal permission to store data in connection with steps taken prior to entering into a contractual relationship pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Our hosting provider also stores information known as server log files each time this website is used. This information is automatically transmitted by your browser and includes:

  • your IP address;

  • the type and version of your browser;

  • hostname;

  • time of your visit;

  • the website from which you accessed our website;

  • the name of the website accessed;

  • the exact time of access; and

  • the amount of data transferred.

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

Advertising

Before sending you advertising, unless it concerns similar products that you have already purchased, we will ask for your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 4 No. 11 GDPR.

This applies in particular if you give us your consent to receive our newsletter or complete a contact form. You may withdraw your consent at any time in accordance with the section “Consent” below.

IF WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU MAY ALSO OBJECT TO THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR THIS PURPOSE AT ANY TIME. YOU MAY DO SO USING ANY OF OUR CONTACT OPTIONS, IN PARTICULAR BY SENDING AN INFORMAL EMAIL TO THE EMAIL ADDRESS STATED IN OUR LEGAL NOTICE. WE WILL THEN NO LONGER USE YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.

Initial Contact by Electronic Enquiry

If you contact us electronically (e.g. by email, fax, telephone, messenger, etc.), we store and process the data you provide to us (e.g. name, contact information and the content of your enquiry).

The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in effective customer communication pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and, insofar as your enquiry relates to entering into or performing a contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

We will disclose this data to third parties only insofar as this is necessary for the performance of a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, corresponds to an overriding interest in the effective provision of services pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, is covered by your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, or another statutory permission or obligation applies.

You may request information from us at any time, free of charge, regarding the purpose of processing, the origin and, where applicable, the recipients of your personal data. You may also request the rectification or deletion of your personal data or restriction of its processing. You may object to the further processing of your data at any time and have a right to data portability as well as a right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

As a general rule, your data will only be stored for as long as required for the respective purpose of processing. Longer storage may apply, in particular, where this remains necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, on the basis of legitimate interests, or where there is a statutory obligation to retain the data, for example under tax retention requirements or limitation periods.

Consent

Where we ask you to consent to the processing of your data, we will inform you in clear and easily accessible language about the specific purposes for which you are providing your consent.

Any consent requested by us is voluntary. Any benefit you wish to obtain by giving your consent may also be available without consent; simply contact us.

For every consent you provide, you have the right to withdraw that consent to the processing of your personal data at any time.

This can be done by means of an informal notification, for example through our contact form, by email to the email address stated in our Legal Notice, or via an unsubscribe link where provided by us.

The withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of your consent before its withdrawal.

Storage Period

As a general rule, your data will only be stored for as long as required for the respective purpose of data processing. Longer storage may apply, in particular, if this remains necessary for us to establish, exercise or defend legal claims or on the basis of our other legitimate interests.

For customer and contract data that was required for the performance of a contractual relationship, including one provided free of charge, this means that we store the data until the contractual relationship has been fully performed or terminated, plus the applicable limitation period, which is generally two or three years, together with an appropriate additional period to account for any possible interruption of the limitation period.

For usage data collected in connection with your use of the website, this means that we store such data only for as long as necessary for the proper functioning of our website and for as long as our legitimate interest applies. Statistical information will generally only be stored in pseudonymised form.

In addition, we retain your data insofar as we are legally required to do so. This applies in particular to tax-related retention periods, which are generally six or even ten years.

Cookies

Cookies Other Than Strictly Necessary Cookies

Within the scope of our legitimate interest in providing a technically reliable online service and in its economically efficient design and optimisation pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, our website uses cookies and, where applicable, similar technologies such as pixels, web beacons or tags.

Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer and store certain information about your usage behaviour. Cookies may be “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted at the end of your visit to our website. There are also persistent cookies, which remain stored on your computer for a certain period unless you delete them.

This enables us to recognise your browser when you next visit our website and to provide functions or offers based on your previous use.

When you enter our website, we inform you about the types of cookies we use and give you the option to consent to or reject individual categories of cookies. We only load non-essential cookies once you have consented to the respective category.

Disclosure of Data

Disclosure to Third Parties

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

Your data may be disclosed if:

  • disclosure is necessary for the performance of a contract and is therefore permitted pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR;

  • disclosure is permitted on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective provision of services pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR;

  • disclosure is covered by consent you have provided; or

  • disclosure becomes necessary because we are lawfully required by a government or public authority to provide your data pursuant to Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Where your data is disclosed to third parties, this is stated in this Privacy Policy.

Transfers Abroad, Particularly to the USA

Our website uses external providers based outside the EU for various functions. In particular, cookies, active JavaScript and other technologies may result in your data being processed and stored outside the EU.

However, we will not transfer your data to a third country unless the European Commission has determined that the country provides a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU, you have given us your informed consent, or we have agreed Standard Contractual Clauses with the provider to protect your data.

User Rights

You may request information from us at any time, free of charge, about the personal data we have stored about you. To prevent misuse, we may require you to verify your identity.

Erasure, Rectification and Restriction

You may request at any time that we rectify inaccurate data, including by completing incomplete data, restrict the processing of your data, or erase your data.

This applies in particular where the purpose of processing no longer applies, required consent has been withdrawn and there is no other legal basis for processing, or our processing of the data is unlawful.

We will then rectify, restrict or erase your personal data without undue delay within the limits prescribed by law.

Right to Object

YOU MAY OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA WHERE SUCH PROCESSING IS BASED ON A BALANCING OF INTERESTS PURSUANT TO ART. 6(1)(f) GDPR AND THERE ARE GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR 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 DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.

Data Portability

You may request that we provide the data stored about you in a machine-readable format.

Complaints

If you believe that our processing of your data infringes your rights, you may lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

If it becomes necessary to amend this Privacy Policy for legal or factual reasons, we will update this page accordingly.

Any consent previously provided by users will not be changed as a result.

Data Entry

Encryption

When you enter data on our website, whether through a contact form, during registration or login, or for payment purposes, the webpage on which you enter your data is encrypted.

This prevents third parties from reading the data you enter. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the padlock symbol in your browser and by the fact that the address bar begins with “https” rather than merely “http”.
