Data Protection

Introduction and Overview

We have written this data protection declaration (version 11/30/2023-112680829) in order to explain to you, in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and applicable national laws, which personal data (data for short) we as the controller – and that of Processors commissioned by us (e.g. providers) – process, will process in the future and what legal options you have. The terms used are to be understood as gender-neutral.
In short: We inform you comprehensively about the data we process about you.

Privacy policies usually sound very technical and use legal terms. This data protection declaration, however, is intended to describe the most important things to you as simply and transparently as possible. To the extent that it promotes transparency, technical terms are explained in a reader-friendly manner, links to further information are provided and graphics are used. We thereby inform you in clear and simple language that we only process personal data as part of our business activities if there is a corresponding legal basis. This is certainly not possible if you make as brief, unclear and legal-technical statements as possible, as are often standard on the Internet when it comes to data protection. I hope you find the following explanations interesting and informative and perhaps there is one or two pieces of information that you didn’t know before.
If you still have questions, we would like to ask you to contact the responsible body named below or in the legal notice, follow the existing links and look at further information on third-party sites. You can of course also find our contact details in the legal notice.

Scope of Application

This data protection declaration applies to all personal data processed by us in the company and to all personal data that companies commissioned by us (processors) process. By personal data we mean information within the meaning of Article 4 No. 1 GDPR such as a person’s name, email address and postal address. The processing of personal data ensures that we can offer and bill our services and products, whether online or offline. The scope of this data protection declaration includes:

all online presences (websites, online shops) that we operate
Social media appearances and email communication
mobile apps for smartphones and other devices

In short: The data protection declaration applies to all areas in which personal data is processed in a structured manner within the company via the channels mentioned. If we enter into legal relationships with you outside of these channels, we will inform you separately if necessary.

Legal Basis

In the following data protection declaration we provide you with transparent information about the legal principles and regulations, i.e. the legal bases of the General Data Protection Regulation, which enable us to process personal data.
As far as EU law is concerned, we refer to REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of April 27, 2016. You can of course access this EU General Data Protection Regulation online on EUR-Lex, the access to the EU -Law, read at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=celex%3A32016R0679.

We only process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:

Consent (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR): You have given us your consent to process data for a specific purpose. An example would be saving the data you entered on a contact form.
Contract (Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR): In order to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual obligations with you, we process your data. For example, if we conclude a purchase contract with you, we need personal information in advance.
Legal Obligation (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. c GDPR): If we are subject to a legal obligation, we process your data. For example, we are legally obliged to keep invoices for accounting purposes. These usually contain personal data.
Legitimate interests (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR): In the case of legitimate interests that do not restrict your fundamental rights, we reserve the right to process personal data. For example, we need to process certain data in order to operate our website securely and economically efficiently. This processing is therefore a legitimate interest.

Other conditions such as the perception of recordings in the public interest and the exercise of public authority as well as the protection of vital interests generally do not apply to us. If such a legal basis is relevant, it will be shown in the appropriate place.

In addition to the EU regulation, national laws also apply:

In Austria, this is the Federal Law on the Protection of Natural Persons with regard to the Processing of Personal Data (Data Protection Act), or DSG for short.

If other regional or national laws apply, we will inform you about them in the following sections.

Storage Period

Our general criterion is that we only store personal data for as long as is absolutely necessary to provide our services and products. This means that we delete personal data as soon as the reason for data processing no longer exists. In some cases, we are legally obliged to store certain data even after the original purpose has ceased, for example for accounting purposes.

If you wish to have your data deleted or revoke your consent to data processing, the data will be deleted as quickly as possible and unless there is an obligation to store it.

We will inform you below about the specific duration of the respective data processing, provided we have further information.

Rights under the General Data Protection Regulation

In accordance with Articles 13, 14 GDPR, we inform you of the following rights to which you are entitled so that data is processed fairly and transparently:

According to Article 15 GDPR, you have a right to information as to whether we are processing your data. If this is the case, you have the right to receive a copy of the data and to know the following information:
- for what purpose we carry out the processing;
- the categories, i.e. the types of data, that are processed;
- who receives this data and, if the data is transferred to third countries, how security can be guaranteed;
- how long the data is stored;
- the existence of the right to rectification, deletion or restriction of processing and the right to object to processing;
- that you can complain to a supervisory authority (links to these authorities can be found below);
- the origin of the data if we did not collect it from you;
- whether profiling is carried out, i.e. whether data is automatically evaluated in order to create a personal profile for you.

According to Article 16 GDPR, you have a right to correction of data, which means that we must correct data if you find errors.
According to Article 17 GDPR, you have the right to deletion (“right to be forgotten”), which specifically means that you can request the deletion of your data.
According to Article 18 GDPR, you have the right to restrict processing, which means that we are only allowed to store the data but not use it any further.
According to Article 20 GDPR, you have the right to data portability, which means that upon request we will provide you with your data in a common format.
According to Article 21 GDPR, you have a right to object, which, once enforced, will result in a change to the processing.
- If the processing of your data is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter e (public interest, exercise of official authority) or Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f (legitimate interest), you can object to the processing. We will then check as quickly as possible whether we can legally comply with this objection.
- If data is used to conduct direct advertising, you can object to this type of data processing at any time. We may then no longer use your data for direct marketing.
- If data is used to carry out profiling, you can object to this type of data processing at any time. We are then no longer allowed to use your data for profiling.

According to Article 22 GDPR, you may have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (e.g. profiling).
According to Article 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint. This means that you can complain to the data protection authority at any time if you believe that the processing of personal data violates the GDPR.

In short: you have rights – do not hesitate to contact the responsible body listed above!

If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection rights have been violated in any other way, you can complain to the supervisory authority. For Austria, this is the data protection authority, whose website you can find at https://www.dsb.gv.at/.

The following local data protection authority is responsible for our company:

Austria Data Protection Authority

Head: Mag. Dr. Andrea Jelinek

Address: Barichgasse 40-42, 1030 Wien

Phone.: +43 1 52 152-0

E-Mail: dsb@dsb.gv.at

Data Transfer to Third Countries

We only transfer or process data to countries outside the scope of the GDPR (third countries) if you consent to this processing or there is other legal permission. This applies in particular if the processing is required by law or necessary to fulfill a contractual relationship and in any case only to the extent that this is generally permitted. In most cases, your consent is the most important reason why we have data processed in third countries. Processing personal data in third countries such as the USA, where many software manufacturers provide services and have their server locations, may mean that personal data is processed and stored in unexpected ways.

We expressly point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently only an adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA if a US company that processes personal data of EU citizens in the USA is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Frameworks is. You can find more information about this at: https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en

Data processing by US services that are not active participants in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework may result in data not being processed and stored anonymously. Furthermore, US government authorities may have access to individual data. It can also happen that collected data is linked to data from other services from the same provider, provided you have a corresponding user account. If possible, we try to use server locations within the EU, if this is offered.
We will inform you in more detail about data transfer to third countries in the appropriate places in this data protection declaration, if this applies.

Security of Data Processing

To protect personal data, we have implemented both technical and organizational measures. Where possible, we encrypt or pseudonymize personal data. In doing so, we make it as difficult as possible for third parties to infer personal information from our data.

Art. 25 GDPR speaks here of “data protection through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings” and means that one always thinks about security and the corresponding security when it comes to both software (e.g. forms) and hardware (e.g. access to the server room). takes measures. Below we will go into specific measures if necessary.

TLS Encryption with https

TLS, encryption and https sound very technical and they are. We use HTTPS (the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure stands for “secure hypertext transfer protocol”) to transmit data on the Internet in a secure manner.
This means that the complete transmission of all data from your browser to our web server is secured – no one can “eavesdrop”.

We have thus introduced an additional security layer and comply with data protection through technical design (Article 25 Paragraph 1 GDPR). By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission over the Internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data.
You can recognize the use of this data transfer protection by the small lock symbol at the top left of the browser, to the left of the internet address (e.g. examplepage.de) and the use of the https scheme (instead of http) as part of our internet address.
If you would like to know more about encryption, we recommend searching Google for “Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure wiki” to get good links to further information.

Communication

If you contact us and communicate by telephone, email or online form, personal data may be processed.

The data will be processed to process and process your question and the related business transaction. The data is stored for as long as the law requires.

Affected people

The above-mentioned processes affect everyone who tries to contact us via the communication channels we provide.

Phone

If you call us, the call data will be stored pseudonymously on the respective device and by the telecommunications provider used. In addition, data such as name and telephone number can then be sent by email and saved to answer your query. The data will be deleted as soon as the business transaction has ended and legal requirements allow it.

E-Mail

If you communicate with us via email, data may be stored on the respective device (computer, laptop, smartphone, etc.) and data may be stored on the email server. The data will be deleted as soon as the business transaction has ended and legal requirements allow it.

Online Forms

If you communicate with us using an online form, data will be stored on our web server and, if necessary, forwarded to one of our email addresses. The data will be deleted as soon as the business transaction has ended and legal requirements allow it.

Legal Basis

The processing of data is based on the following legal bases:

Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent): You give us your consent to store your data and to continue using it for purposes relevant to the business transaction;
Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR (contract): There is a need to fulfill a contract with you or a processor such as. B. the telephone provider or we need to use the data for pre-contractual activities, such as: B. the preparation of an offer;
Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests): We want to conduct customer inquiries and business communication in a professional framework. For this purpose, certain technical facilities such as: B. E-mail programs, exchange servers and mobile phone operators are necessary in order to be able to operate communication efficiently.

Order Processing Agreement (OPA)

In this section we would like to explain to you what a data processing agreement is and why it is needed. Because the word “order processing agreement” is quite a tongue twister, we will often only use the acronym OPA here in the text. Like most companies, we do not work alone, but also use the services of other companies or individuals. Due to the involvement of different companies or service providers, we may pass on personal data for processing. These partners then act as processors with whom we conclude a contract, the so-called order processing agreement (OPA). The most important thing for you to know is that the processing of your personal data takes place exclusively on our instructions and must be regulated by the OPA.

Who are processors?

As a company and website owner, we are responsible for all data that we process from you. In addition to those responsible, there can also be so-called processors. This includes every company or person who processes personal data on our behalf. More specifically and according to the GDPR definition: any natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on our behalf is considered a processor. Processors can therefore be service providers such as hosting or cloud providers, payment or newsletter providers or large companies such as Google or Microsoft.

To make the terminology easier to understand, here is an overview of the three roles in the GDPR:

Data subject (you as a customer or interested party) → Responsible party (we as a company and client) → Processor (service provider such as web host or cloud provider)

Content of an Order Processing Contract

As already mentioned above, we have concluded an OPA with our partners who act as processors. Above all, this states that the processor processes the data to be processed exclusively in accordance with the GDPR. The contract must be concluded in writing, although in this context the electronic contract conclusion is also considered “written”. The processing of personal data only takes place on the basis of the contract. The contract must contain the following:

Binding to us as those responsible
Obligations and rights of the person responsible
Categories of data subjects
Type of personal data
Type and purpose of data processing
Subject and duration of data processing
Place of data processing

The contract also contains all of the processor’s obligations. The most important duties are:

To ensure data security measures
to take possible technical and organizational measures to protect the rights of the data subject
to maintain a data processing directory
to cooperate with the data protection supervisory authority upon request
carry out a risk analysis in relation to the personal data received
Sub-processors may only be commissioned with the written consent of the person responsible

Cookies

What are cookies?

Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data.
Below we explain what cookies are and why they are used so that you can better understand the following privacy policy.

Whenever you surf the Internet, you use a browser. Well-known browsers include Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge. Most websites store small text files in your browser. These files are called cookies.

One thing cannot be denied: Cookies are really useful little helpers. Almost all websites use cookies. To be more precise, they are HTTP cookies, as there are also other cookies for other areas of application. HTTP cookies are small files that our website stores on your computer. These cookie files are automatically stored in the cookie folder, the “brain” of your browser. A cookie consists of a name and a value. When defining a cookie, one or more attributes must also be specified.

Cookies store certain user data about you, such as language or personal page settings. When you visit our site again, your browser sends the “user-related” information back to our site. Thanks to cookies, our website knows who you are and offers you the settings you are used to. In some browsers each cookie has its own file, in others, such as Firefox, all cookies are stored in a single file.

There are both first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created directly by our site, third-party cookies are created by partner websites (e.g. Google Analytics). Each cookie must be evaluated individually because each cookie stores different data. The expiry time of a cookie also varies from a few minutes to a few years. Cookies are not software programs and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other “malicious” things. Cookies also cannot access information on your PC.

What types of cookies are there?

The question of which cookies we use in particular depends on the services used and is clarified in the following sections of the data protection declaration. At this point we would like to briefly discuss the different types of HTTP cookies.

There are 4 types of cookies:

Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary to ensure basic functions of the website. For example, these cookies are needed when a user puts a product in the shopping cart, then continues surfing on other pages and only later checks out. These cookies do not delete the shopping cart, even if the user closes their browser window.

Purposeful Cookies
These cookies collect information about user behavior and whether the user receives any error messages. These cookies are also used to measure the loading time and behavior of the website on different browsers.

Targeting Cookies
These cookies ensure better user experience. For example, entered locations, font sizes or form data are saved.

Advertising Cookies
These cookies are also called targeting cookies. They serve to provide the user with individually tailored advertising. This can be very practical, but also very annoying.

Typically, when you first visit a website, you will be asked which of these types of cookies you would like to allow. And of course this decision is also saved in a cookie.

Purpose of Processing via Cookies

The purpose ultimately depends on the respective cookie. You can find more details about this below or from the manufacturer of the software that sets the cookie.

Which Data is Processed?

Cookies are little helpers for many different tasks. Unfortunately, it is not possible to generalize which data is stored in cookies, but we will inform you about the data processed or stored in the following data protection declaration.

Storage Period of Cookies

The storage period depends on the respective cookie and is further specified below. Some cookies are deleted after less than an hour, others can remain on a computer for several years.

You also have an influence on the storage period. You can delete all cookies manually at any time via your browser (see also “Right to object” below). Furthermore, cookies that are based on consent will be deleted at the latest after you revoke your consent, although the legality of storage remains unaffected until then.

Right to Object – How can I delete Cookies?

You decide for yourself how and whether you want to use cookies. Regardless of which service or website the cookies come from, you always have the option of deleting cookies, deactivating them or only partially allowing them. For example, you can block third-party cookies but allow all other cookies.

If you generally do not want cookies, you can set your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie is to be set. This means you can decide for each individual cookie whether you allow the cookie or not. The procedure varies depending on the browser. The best thing to do is to search for the instructions in Google using the search term “delete cookies Chrome” or “deactivate cookies Chrome” in the case of a Chrome browser.

Legal Basis

The so-called “Cookie Guidelines” have existed since 2009. This states that the storage of cookies requires your consent (Article 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). However, there are still very different reactions to these guidelines within the EU countries. In Austria, however, this directive was implemented in Section 96 Paragraph 3 of the Telecommunications Act (TKG). In Germany, the cookie guidelines have not been implemented as national law. Instead, this directive was largely implemented in Section 15 Paragraph 3 of the Telemedia Act (TMG).

For absolutely necessary cookies, even if consent is not given, there are legitimate interests (Article 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR), which in most cases are of an economic nature. We want to provide website visitors with a pleasant user experience and certain cookies are often absolutely necessary for this.

If non-essential cookies are used, this will only happen with your consent. The legal basis in this respect is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR.

In the following sections you will be informed in more detail about the use of cookies if the software used uses cookies.

Webhosting

What is Webhosting?

When you visit websites these days, certain information – including personal data – is created and stored automatically, including on this website. This data should be processed as sparingly as possible and only with justification. By the way, by website we mean the entirety of all websites on a domain, i.e. everything from the start page (homepage) to the very last subpage (like this one). By domain we mean, for example, example.de or musterexample.com.

If you want to view a website on a computer, tablet, or smartphone, you use a program called a web browser. You probably know a few web browsers by name: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari. We call it browser or web browser for short.

To display the website, the browser must connect to another computer where the website’s code is stored: the web server. Operating a web server is a complicated and time-consuming task, which is why it is usually carried out by professional providers. These offer web hosting and thus ensure reliable and error-free storage of website data. A lot of technical terms, but please stay tuned, it gets better!

When the browser connects to your computer (desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone) and during data transfer to and from the web server, personal data may be processed. On the one hand, your computer stores data, but on the other hand, the web server also needs to store data for a while to ensure proper operation.

Why do we process Personal Data?

The purposes of data processing are:

Professional website hosting and operational security
to maintain operational and IT security
Anonymous evaluation of access behavior to improve our offering and, if necessary, to prosecute or pursue claims

Which data is processed?

Even while you are visiting our website, our web server, which is the computer on which this website is stored, usually automatically saves data such as

the complete internet address (URL) of the website accessed
Browser and browser version (e.g. Chrome 87)
the operating system used (e.g. Windows 10)
the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL)
the host name and IP address of the device from which access is made (e.g. COMPUTERNAME and 194.23.43.121)
Date and Time
in files called web server log files

How long is Data Stored?

As a rule, the above-mentioned data is stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted. We do not pass on this data, but we cannot rule out that this data will be viewed by authorities if illegal behavior occurs.

In short: Your visit will be logged by our provider (company that runs our website on special computers (servers)), but we will not pass on your data without consent!

Legal Basis

The legality of the processing of personal data in the context of web hosting results from Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR (protection of legitimate interests), because the use of professional hosting from a provider is necessary to keep the company safe and user-friendly on the Internet to be able to present and, if necessary, pursue attacks and claims resulting from this.

There is usually a contract for order processing between us and the hosting provider in accordance with Art. 28 f. GDPR, which ensures compliance with data protection and guarantees data security.

WordPress.com Data Privacy

What is WordPress?

We use the well-known content management system WordPress.com for our website. The service provider is the American company Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA.

The company was born in 2003 and, in a relatively short space of time, developed into one of the best-known content management systems (CMS) in the world. A CMS is software that helps us design our website and display content beautifully and orderly. The content can be text, audio and video.
By using WordPress, your personal data can also be collected, stored and processed. As a rule, mainly technical data such as operating system, browser, screen resolution or hosting provider are stored. However, personal data such as IP address, geographical data or contact details can also be processed.

Why do we use WordPress on our website?

We have many strengths, but real programming is not one of our core competences.

However, we want to have a powerful and attractive website that we can manage and maintain ourselves. This is exactly what is possible with a website construction system or a content management system like WordPress. With WordPress we don’t have to be programming aces to offer you a beautiful website. Thanks to WordPress, we can use our website quickly and easily, even without any prior technical knowledge. If technical problems arise or we have special requests for our website, there are always our specialists who feel at home in HTML, PHP, CSS and the like.

Thanks to the ease of use and comprehensive functions of WordPress, we can design our web presence according to our wishes and offer you good user-friendliness.

What data is processed by WordPress?

Non-personal information includes technical usage information such as browser activity, clickstream activity, session heatmaps and information about your computer, operating system, browser, screen resolution, language and keyboard settings, Internet service provider and date of page visit.

Personal data is also collected. These are primarily contact details (email address or telephone number, if you provide them), IP address or your geographical location.

WordPress may also use cookies to collect data. This often collects data about your behavior on our website. For example, it can be recorded which sub-pages you particularly like to view, how long you spend on individual pages, when you leave a page again (bounce rate) or which presets (e.g. language selection) you have made. Based on this data, WordPress can also better adapt its own marketing measures to your interests and user behavior. The next time you visit our website, you will see our website as you previously set it.

WordPress may also use technologies such as pixel tags (web beacons), for example to clearly identify you as a user and possibly offer interest-based advertising.

How long and where is the data stored?

How long the data is stored depends on various factors. So it mainly depends on the type of data stored and the specific settings of the website. Basically, WordPress data is deleted when it is no longer needed for its own purposes. There are of course exceptions, especially if legal obligations require the data to be retained for a longer period of time. Web server logs that contain your IP address and technical data are deleted by WordPress or Automattic after 30 days. For this time, Automattic uses the data to analyze the traffic on its own websites (e.g. all WordPress pages) and to fix possible problems. Deleted content on WordPress websites is also kept in the Recycle Bin for 30 days to allow for recovery, after which it may remain in backups and caches until deleted. The data is stored on Automattic’s American servers.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

You have the right and opportunity to access your personal data at any time and to object to the use and processing of it. You can also file a complaint with a government supervisory authority at any time.

In your browser you also have the option of individually managing, deleting or deactivating cookies. However, please note that deactivated or deleted cookies may have negative effects on the functions of our WordPress site. Depending on which browser you use, managing cookies works slightly differently. Under the “Cookies” section you will find the corresponding links to the relevant instructions for the most popular browsers.

Legal Basis

If you have consented to WordPress being used, the legal basis for the corresponding data processing is this consent. According to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), this consent represents the legal basis for the processing of personal data, as may occur when it is collected by WordPress.

We also have a legitimate interest in using WordPress to optimize our online service and present it beautifully for you. The corresponding legal basis for this is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR (legitimate interests). However, we only use WordPress if you have given your consent.

WordPress or Automattic also processes your data in the USA, among other places. Automattic is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data from EU citizens to the USA.

Web Analytics

What is Web Analytics?

We use software on our website to evaluate the behavior of website visitors, known as web analytics for short. Data is collected, which the respective analytical tool provider (also called tracking tool) stores, manages and processes. The data is used to create analyzes of user behavior on our website and make them available to us as the website operator. In addition, most tools offer various testing options. For example, we can test which offers or content are best received by our visitors. We will show you two different offers for a limited period of time. After the test (so-called A/B test), we know which product or content our website visitors find more interesting. For such test procedures, as well as for other analytics procedures, user profiles can also be created and the data can be stored in cookies.

Why do we do Web Analytics?

We have a clear goal in mind with our website: we want to provide the best web offering on the market for our industry. In order to achieve this goal, we want to offer the best and most interesting offer on the one hand and, on the other hand, make sure that you feel completely comfortable on our website. With the help of web analysis tools, we can take a closer look at the behavior of our website visitors and then improve our website accordingly for you and us. For example, we can see how old our visitors are on average, where they come from, when our website is most visited or which content or products are particularly popular. All of this information helps us to optimize the website and thus best adapt it to your needs, interests and wishes.

Which data is processed?

Of course, exactly which data is stored depends on the analysis tools used. However, it is usually stored, for example, what content you view on our website, what buttons or links you click on, when you access a page, what browser you use, what device (PC, tablet, smartphone, etc.) you use website you visit or what computer system you use. If you agreed that location data may also be collected, this can also be processed by the web analysis tool provider.

Your IP address is also stored. According to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), IP addresses are personal data. However, your IP address is usually stored pseudonymously (i.e. in an unrecognizable and shortened form). For the purpose of testing, web analysis and web optimization, no direct data such as your name, age, address or email address is stored. All of this data, if collected, is stored pseudonymously. This means you cannot be identified as a person.

How long the respective data is stored always depends on the provider. Some cookies only store data for a few minutes or until you leave the website, other cookies can store data for several years.

Duration of data processing

Right to object

Legal Basis

The use of web analytics requires your consent, which we obtained with our cookie popup. According to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR (consent), this consent represents the legal basis for the processing of personal data, as may occur when it is collected by web analytics tools.

In addition to consent, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing the behavior of website visitors and thus improving our offering technically and economically. With the help of web analytics, we detect website errors, identify attacks and improve profitability. The legal basis for this is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR (legitimate interests). However, we only use the tools if you have given your consent.

Since cookies are used in web analytics tools, we also recommend that you read our general privacy policy on cookies. To find out exactly which of your data is stored and processed, you should read the data protection declarations of the respective tools.

Information about special web analytics tools, if available, can be found in the following sections.

We use PIWIK Pro as Analytics Tool. You can find more details about the data protection policy and what data is processed by WordPress in what way https://piwik.pro/privacy-policy/.

Affiliate Programs

What are affiliate programs?

We use partner programs from different providers on our website. By using a partner program, your data can be transferred to the respective partner program provider, stored and processed. In this data protection text we give you a general overview of data processing by partner programs and show you how you can prevent or revoke data transfer. Every partner program (also called affiliate program) is based on the principle of commission. A link or an advertisement including a link is placed on our website and if you are interested in it and click on it and purchase a product or service in this way, we receive a commission (reimbursement of advertising costs).

Why do we use affiliate programs on our website?

Our goal is to provide you with a pleasant time with lots of helpful content. We put a lot of work and time into developing our website. With the help of partner programs, we have the opportunity to be compensated a little for our work. Of course, every partner link always has to do with our topic and shows offers that might interest you.

Which data is processed?

In order to be able to determine whether you have clicked on a link we have used, the partner program provider must find out that it was you who followed the link via our website. The partner program links used must therefore be correctly assigned to the following actions (business deal, purchase, conversion, impression, etc.). Only then can the billing of commissions work.

For this mapping to work, a value can be attached to a link (in the URL) or information can be stored in cookies. This stores, for example, which page you came from (referrer), when you clicked on the link, an identifier for our website, what offer it is and a user identifier.

This means that as soon as you interact with products and services from an affiliate program, this provider also collects data from you. Exactly which data is stored depends on the individual provider. For example, the Amazon affiliate program distinguishes between active and automatic information. Active ones include name, email address, phone number, age, payment information or location information. In this case, the automatically stored information includes user behavior, IP address, device information and the URL.

Duration of Data Processing

We will inform you below about the duration of data processing if we have further information. In general, personal data is only processed for as long as is necessary to provide the services and products. Data stored in cookies is stored for different lengths of time. Some cookies are deleted after you leave the website, others can be stored in your browser for several years if they are not actively deleted. The exact duration of data processing depends on the provider you use; you should usually expect a storage period of several years. You will usually receive detailed information about the duration of data processing in the respective data protection declarations of the individual providers.

Right to Object

You always have the right to information, correction and deletion of your personal data. If you have any questions, you can contact the person responsible for the partner program provider you are using at any time. You can find contact details either in our specific data protection declaration or on the website of the relevant provider.

You can delete, deactivate or manage cookies that providers use for their functions in your browser. Depending on which browser you use, this works in different ways.

Legal Basis

If you have consented to partner programs being used, the legal basis for the corresponding data processing is this consent. According to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR (consent), this consent represents the legal basis for the processing of personal data, as may occur when it is collected by a partner program.

We also have a legitimate interest in using a partner program to optimize our online service and marketing measures. The corresponding legal basis for this is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR (legitimate interests). However, we only use the partner program if you have given your consent.

Information about special partner programs, if available, can be found in the following sections.

Digistore24 partner program data protection declaration

We use the Digistore24 partner program for our website. The service provider is the German company Digistore24 GmbH, St.-Godehard-Straße 32, 31139 Hildesheim, Germany.
You can find out more about the data that is processed through the use of Digistore24 in the data protection declaration https://www.digistore24.com/page/privacy.

What is a Cookie Consent Manangement Platform?

We use Consent Management Platform (CMP) software on our website, which makes it easier for us and you to handle the scripts and cookies used correctly and safely. The software automatically creates a cookie popup, scans and controls all scripts and cookies, provides you with the cookie consent required by data protection law and helps us and you to keep track of all cookies. Most cookie consent management tools identify and categorize all existing cookies. As a website visitor, you then decide for yourself whether and which scripts and cookies you allow or disallow.

Why do we use a Cookie-Management-Tool?

Our goal is to offer you the best possible transparency in the area of data protection. We are also legally obliged to do so. We want to inform you as much as possible about all the tools and all the cookies that can store and process your data. It is also your right to decide for yourself which cookies you accept and which you do not. In order to grant you this right, we must first know exactly which cookies ended up on our website. Thanks to a cookie management tool that regularly scans the website for all existing cookies, we know about all cookies and can provide you with GDPR-compliant information about them. You can then accept or reject cookies via the consent system.

Which data is processed?

As part of our cookie management tool, you can manage each individual cookie yourself and have complete control over the storage and processing of your data. The declaration of your consent will be saved so that we do not have to ask you every time you visit our website and we can also prove your consent if legally required. This is stored either in an opt-in cookie or on a server. Depending on the provider of the cookie management tool, the storage period for your cookie consent varies. This data (such as pseudonymous user ID, time of consent, detailed information on cookie categories or tools, browser, device information) is usually stored for up to two years.

Duration of data processing

We will inform you below about the duration of data processing if we have further information. In general, we only process personal data for as long as it is absolutely necessary to provide our services and products. Data stored in cookies is stored for different lengths of time. Some cookies are deleted after you leave the website, others can be stored in your browser for several years. The exact duration of data processing depends on the tool used; in most cases you should be prepared for a storage period of several years. You will usually receive detailed information about the duration of data processing in the respective data protection declarations of the individual providers.

Right to object

You also have the right and the opportunity to revoke your consent to the use of cookies at any time. This works either via our cookie management tool or via other opt-out functions. For example, you can also prevent data collection through cookies by managing, deactivating or deleting cookies in your browser.

Information about special cookie management tools, if available, can be found in the following sections.

Legal basis

If you agree to cookies, your personal data will be processed and stored via these cookies. If we are allowed to use cookies based on your consent (Article 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR), this consent is also the legal basis for the use of cookies or the processing of your data. In order to be able to manage the consent to cookies and to enable you to give your consent, a cookie consent management platform software is used. The use of this software enables us to operate the website in an efficient and legally compliant manner, which represents a legitimate interest (Article 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

BorlabsCookie Privacy Policy

We use BorlabsCookie on our website, which is, among other things, a tool for storing your cookie consent. The service provider is the German company Borlabs – Benjamin A. Bornschein, Rübenkamp 32, 22305 Hamburg, Germany. You can find out more about the data processed through the use of BorlabsCookie in the Privacy Policy https://borlabs.io/privacy/ .

Security & Anti-Spam

What is a Security- & Anti-Spam-Software?

With so-called security & anti-spam software, you and we can protect ourselves from various spam or phishing emails and possible other cyber attacks. Spam refers to mass mailings that you did not ask for. Such emails are also called data garbage and can also cause costs. Phishing emails are messages that aim to build trust through fake messages or websites in order to obtain personal information. Anti-spam software usually protects against unwanted spam messages or malicious emails that could introduce viruses into our system. We also use general firewall and security systems that protect our computers from unwanted network attacks.

Why do we use Security- & Anti-Spam-Software?

We attach particular importance to security on our website. After all, it’s not just about our safety, but above all about your safety. Unfortunately, cyber threats are now part of everyday life in the world of IT and the Internet. Hackers often try to steal personal data from an IT system using a cyber attack. And therefore a good defense system is absolutely necessary. A security system monitors all incoming and outgoing connections to our network or computer. In order to achieve even greater security against cyber attacks, we also use other external security services in addition to the standardized security systems on our computer. This prevents unauthorized data traffic and protects us from cybercrime.

What data is processed by security & anti-spam software?

Of course, exactly which data is collected and stored depends on the respective service. However, we always strive to only use programs that collect data very sparingly or only store data that is necessary to fulfill the service offered. In principle, the service can store data such as name, address, IP address, email address and technical data such as browser type or browser version. Any performance and log data can also be collected in order to detect possible incoming threats in a timely manner. This data is processed as part of the Services and in compliance with applicable laws. This also includes the GDPR for US providers (via the standard contractual clauses). These security services also, in some cases, work with third parties who may store and/or process data under the direction of and in accordance with privacy policies and other security measures. Data is usually stored via cookies.

Duration of data processing

We will inform you below about the duration of data processing if we have further information. For example, security programs store data until you or we revoke the data storage. In general, personal data is only stored for as long as is absolutely necessary to provide the services. In many cases, we unfortunately lack precise information from the providers about the length of storage.

Right to object

You also have the right and the opportunity to revoke your consent to the use of cookies or third-party security software providers at any time. This works either via our cookie management tool or via other opt-out functions. For example, you can also prevent data collection through cookies by managing, deactivating or deleting cookies in your browser.

Since cookies can also be used in such security services, we recommend our general data protection declaration about cookies. To find out exactly which of your data is stored and processed, you should read the data protection declarations of the respective tools.

Legal basis

We use the security services primarily on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in a good security system against various cyber attacks.

Certain processing, in particular the use of cookies and the use of security functions, requires your consent. If you have agreed that your data can be processed and stored by integrated security services, this consent is considered the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Most services we use set cookies on your browser to store data. We therefore recommend that you read our data protection text about cookies carefully and view the data protection declaration or the cookie guidelines of the respective service provider.

You can find information about special tools – if available – in the following sections.

Google reCAPTCHA Privacy Policy

What is reCAPTCHA?

Our primary goal is to secure and protect our website as best as possible for you and for us. To ensure this, we use Google reCAPTCHA from Google Inc. For Europe, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. With reCAPTCHA we can determine whether you are really a human being and not a robot or other spam software. By spam we mean any unwanted information sent to us electronically without being asked. With the classic CAPTCHAS, you usually had to solve text or image puzzles to check. With reCAPTCHA from Google, we usually don’t have to bother you with such puzzles. In most cases it is enough to simply check the box and confirm that you are not a bot. With the new Invisible reCAPTCHA version you don’t even have to check the box anymore. You will find out exactly how this works and, above all, what data is used for this in the course of this data protection declaration.

reCAPTCHA is a free Captcha service from Google that protects websites from spam software and misuse by non-human visitors. Most often, this service is used when filling out forms on the Internet. A captcha service is a type of automatic Turing test designed to ensure that an action on the Internet is carried out by a human and not a bot. In the classic Turing test (named after the computer scientist Alan Turing), a human determines the difference between a bot and a human. With Captchas, this is also done by the computer or a software program. Classic captchas work with small tasks that are easy for humans to solve, but are significantly difficult for machines. With reCAPTCHA you no longer have to actively solve puzzles. The tool uses modern risk techniques to distinguish humans from bots. Here you just have to tick the text field “I am not a robot” or with Invisible reCAPTCHA even this is no longer necessary. With reCAPTCHA, a JavaScript element is integrated into the source code and then the tool runs in the background and analyzes your user behavior. The software calculates a so-called Captcha score from these user actions. Google uses this score to calculate how likely you are to be human before you enter the Captcha. reCAPTCHA or captchas in general are always used when bots could manipulate or misuse certain actions (such as registrations, surveys, etc.).

Why do we use reCAPTCHA on our website?

We only want to welcome people of flesh and blood to our side. Bots or spam software of all kinds can safely stay at home. That’s why we do everything we can to protect ourselves and offer you the best possible user-friendliness. For this reason we use Google reCAPTCHA from Google. So we can be pretty sure that we will remain a “bot-free” website. By using reCAPTCHA, data is transmitted to Google to determine whether you are actually human. reCAPTCHA therefore serves the security of our website and subsequently also your security. For example, without reCAPTCHA, it could happen that when registering, a bot registers as many email addresses as possible in order to then “spam” forums or blogs with unwanted advertising content. With reCAPTCHA we can avoid such bot attacks.

What data is stored by reCAPTCHA?

reCAPTCHA collects personal data from users to determine whether the actions on our website actually come from humans. This means that the IP address and other data that Google requires for the reCAPTCHA service can be sent to Google. IP addresses are almost always shortened within EU member states or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before the data ends up on a server in the USA. The IP address will not be combined with other Google data unless you are logged in with your Google account while using reCAPTCHA. First, the reCAPTCHA algorithm checks whether Google cookies from other Google services (YouTube, Gmail, etc.) are already placed on your browser. reCAPTCHA then sets an additional cookie in your browser and captures a snapshot of your browser window.

The following list of collected browser and user data is not intended to be complete. Rather, these are examples of data that, to our knowledge, are processed by Google.

Referrer URL (the address of the page from which the visitor comes)
IP address (e.g. 256.123.123.1)
Information about the operating system (the software that enables your computer to operate. Common operating systems include Windows, Mac OS X or Linux)
Cookies (small text files that store data in your browser)
Mouse and keyboard behavior (every action you perform with the mouse or keyboard is saved)
Date and language settings (which language or date you have preset on your PC will be saved)
All JavaScript objects (JavaScript is a programming language that allows websites to adapt to the user. JavaScript objects can collect all kinds of data under one name)
Screen resolution (shows how many pixels the image consists of)

It is undisputed that Google uses and analyzes this data even before you click on the “I am not a robot” checkbox. With the Invisible reCAPTCHA version, there is no need to tick anything and the entire recognition process runs in the background. Google does not tell you in detail how much and what data Google stores.

How long and where is the data stored?

By inserting reCAPTCHA, your data will be transferred to the Google server. Google does not make it clear where exactly this data is stored, even after repeated inquiries. Without receiving confirmation from Google, it can be assumed that data such as mouse interaction, time spent on the website or language settings are stored on the European or American Google platforms. stored on servers. The IP address that your browser transmits to Google is generally not merged with other Google data from other Google services. However, if you are logged into your Google account while using the reCAPTCHA plugin, the data will be merged. The different data protection regulations of Google apply.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

If you do not want any data about you and your behavior to be transmitted to Google, you must log out of Google completely and delete all Google cookies before you visit our website or use the reCAPTCHA software. In principle, the data is automatically transmitted to Google as soon as you access our site. To delete this data again, you must contact Google Support https://support.google.com/?hl=de&tid=112680829.

If you use our website, you agree that Google LLC and its representatives automatically collect, process and use data.

Please note that when using this tool, your data may also be stored and processed outside the EU. Most third countries (including the USA) are not considered safe under current European data protection law. Data may therefore not simply be transferred to unsafe third countries, stored there and processed unless there are appropriate guarantees (such as EU standard contractual clauses) between us and the non-European service provider.

Legal basis

If you have consented to Google reCAPTCHA being used, the legal basis for the corresponding data processing is this consent. According to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), this consent represents the legal basis for the processing of personal data, as may occur when collected by Google reCAPTCHA.

We also have a legitimate interest in using Google reCAPTCHA to optimize our online service and make it more secure. The corresponding legal basis for this is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR (legitimate interests). However, we only use Google reCAPTCHA if you have given your consent.

Google also processes your data in the USA, among other places. Google is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data from EU citizens to the USA. You can find more information about this at https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en.

Google also uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46 Paragraphs 2 and 3 GDPR). Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even if it is transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the Standard Contractual Clauses, Google undertakes to comply with the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. You can find the resolution and the corresponding standard contractual clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de

The Google Ads Data Processing Terms, which refer to the standard contractual clauses, can be found at https://business.safety.google/intl/de/adsprocessorterms/.

You can find out more about reCAPTCHA on Google’s web developer page https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/. Google goes into more detail about the technical development of reCAPTCHA here, but you won’t find precise information about data storage and data protection-related topics there either. You can find a good overview of the basic use of data at Google in the company’s own data protection declaration https://policies.google.com/privacy.

External online platforms

What are external online platforms?

In order to be able to offer our services or products outside of our website, we also use external platforms. These are usually online marketplaces such as Amazon or eBay. In addition to our responsibility for data protection, the data protection regulations of the external platforms we use also apply. This is especially the case when our products are purchased via the platform. So if there is a payment process. Furthermore, most platforms also use your data to optimize their own marketing measures. For example, the platform can use collected data to tailor advertisements to the interests of customers and website visitors.

Why do we use external online platforms?

In addition to our website, we also want to offer our offer on other platforms in order to bring our offer closer to more customers. External online marketplaces such as Amazon, Ebay or Digistore24 offer large sales websites that offer our products to people who may not be familiar with our website. It may also happen that built-in elements on our site lead to an external online platform. Data that is processed and stored by the online platform used is used by the company to log the payment process, but also to be able to carry out web analyses.

The aim of these analyzes is to be able to develop more precise and personal marketing and advertising strategies. Depending on your behavior on a platform, the evaluated data can be used to draw appropriate conclusions about your interests and so-called user profiles can be created. This also makes it possible for the platforms to present you with tailored advertisements or products. Cookies are usually set in your browser for this purpose and store data about your usage behavior.

Please note that when you use the platforms or our built-in elements, your data may also be processed outside the European Union, as online platforms such as Amazon or eBay are American companies. This may mean that you may no longer be able to easily request or enforce your rights in relation to your personal data.

Which data is processed?

Exactly which data is stored and processed depends on the respective external platform. But usually it is data such as telephone numbers, email addresses, data that you enter in a contact form, user data such as which buttons you click, when you visited which pages, information about your device and your IP address . Very often most of this data is stored in cookies. If you have your own profile on an external platform and are logged in there, data can be linked to the profile. The data collected is stored on the servers of the platforms used and processed there. You can find out exactly how an external platform stores, manages and processes data in the respective data protection declaration. If you have any questions about data storage and data processing or want to assert corresponding rights, we recommend that you contact the platform directly.

Duration of data processing

We will inform you below about the duration of data processing if we have further information. For example, Amazon stores data until it is no longer needed for its own purposes. In general, we only process personal data for as long as it is absolutely necessary to provide our services and products.

Right to object

You also have the right and the opportunity to revoke your consent to the use of cookies at any time. This works either via our cookie management tool or via opt-out functions on the respective external platform. You can also prevent data collection through cookies by managing, deactivating or deleting the cookies in your browser.

Since cookies can be used, we also recommend our general data protection declaration about cookies. To find out exactly which of your data is stored and processed, you should read the data protection declarations of the respective external platforms.

Legal basis

If you have agreed that your data can be processed and stored by external platforms, this consent is considered the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). In principle, if you have given your consent, your data will also be stored and processed on the basis of a legitimate interest (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in quick and good communication with you or other customers and business partners. If we have integrated elements from external platforms on our website, we will only use them if you have given your consent.

You can find information about specific external platforms – if available – in the following sections.

Video Conferencing & Streaming

What are video conferences & streaming?

We use software programs that enable us to hold video conferences, online meetings, webinars, display sharing and/or streaming. During a video conference or streaming, information is transmitted simultaneously via sound and moving images. With the help of such video conferencing or streaming tools, we can communicate quickly and easily with customers, business partners, clients and employees over the Internet. Of course, we pay attention to the specified legal framework when selecting the service provider.

In principle, third parties can process data as soon as you interact with the software program. Third-party providers of video conferencing or streaming solutions use your data and metadata for different purposes. The data helps, for example, to make the tool more secure and improve the service. In most cases, the data may also be used for the third party’s own marketing purposes.

Why do we use video conferencing & streaming on our website?

We want to communicate with you, our customers and business partners digitally quickly, easily and securely. This works best with video conferencing solutions that are very easy to use. Most tools also work directly via your browser and after just a few clicks you are in the middle of a video meeting. The tools also offer helpful additional features such as a chat and screen sharing function or the ability to share content between meeting participants.

Which data is processed?

If you take part in our video conference or streaming, your data will also be processed and stored on the servers of the respective service provider.

Exactly which data is stored depends on the solutions used. Each provider stores and processes different and different amounts of data. However, as a rule, most providers store your name, address, contact details such as your email address or telephone number and your IP address. Information about the device you use, usage data such as which websites you visit, when you visit a website or which buttons you click on can also be stored. Data that is shared within the video conference (photos, videos, texts) can also be saved.

Duration of data processing

We will inform you about the duration of data processing below in connection with the service used, provided we have further information about it. In general, we only process personal data for as long as it is absolutely necessary to provide our services and products. It may be that the provider stores your data according to its own requirements, over which we then have no influence.

Right to object

You always have the right to information, correction and deletion of your personal data. If you have any questions, you can contact the person responsible for the video conferencing or streaming tool used at any time. You can find contact details either in our specific data protection declaration or on the website of the relevant provider.

You can delete, deactivate or manage cookies that providers use for their functions in your browser. Depending on which browser you use, this works in different ways. Please note, however, that not all functions may then work as usual.

Legal basis

If you have agreed that your data can be processed and stored by the video or streaming solution, this consent is considered the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). We can also offer a video conference as part of our services if this has been contractually agreed with you in advance (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR). In principle, your data will also be stored and processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in quick and good communication with you or other customers and business partners, but only to the extent that you have at least given your consent. Most video or streaming solutions also set cookies in your browser to store data. We therefore recommend that you read our data protection text about cookies carefully and view the data protection declaration or the cookie guidelines of the respective service provider.

Information about special video conferencing and streaming solutions – if available – can be found in the following sections.

Zoom Data Privacy

What is Zoom?

We use the video conferencing tool Zoom from the American software company Zoom Video Communications for our website. The company headquarters is in San Jose, California, 55 Almaden Boulevard, 6th Floor, CA 95113. Thanks to “Zoom” we can hold a video conference with customers, business partners, clients and employees very easily and without installing any software.

Zoom is one of the world’s most popular video conferencing solutions. With the “Zoom Meetings” service, for example, we can hold an online video conference with you, but also with employees or other users via a digital conference room. This means we can easily get in touch digitally, exchange ideas about various topics, send text messages or even make phone calls. You can also share the screen, exchange files and use a whiteboard via Zoom.

Why do we use Zoom on our website?

It is important to us that we can communicate with you quickly and easily. And Zoom offers us exactly this opportunity. The software program also works directly through a browser. This means we can simply send you a link and start the video conference. Of course, additional functions such as screen sharing or exchanging files are also very practical.

What data does Zoom store?

If you use Zoom, data will also be collected from you so that Zoom can provide its services. On the one hand, this is data that you consciously make available to the company. This includes, for example, your name, telephone number or your email address. Data is also automatically transmitted to Zoom and stored. This includes, for example, technical data from your browser or your IP address. Below we will go into more detail about the data that Zoom may collect and store from you:

If you provide information such as your name, username, email address or phone number, Zoom will store this information. Content that you upload while using Zoom is also saved. These include, for example, files or chat logs.

In addition to the IP address mentioned above, the technical data that Zoom automatically saves also includes the MAC address, other device IDs, device type, which operating system you use, which client you use, camera type, microphone and speaker type. Your approximate location is also determined and stored. Zoom also stores information about how you use the service. For example, whether you “zoom” via desktop or smartphone, whether you use a telephone call or VoIP, whether you participate with or without video or whether you request a password. Zoom also records so-called metadata such as the duration of the meeting/call, start and end of meeting participation, meeting name and chat status.

Zoom mentions in its own privacy policy that the company does not use advertising cookies or tracking technologies for its services. Only on their own marketing websites such as https://www.zoom.com/en/products/collaboration-tools/ these tracking methods are used. Zoom does not sell personal data or use it for advertising purposes.

How long and where is the data stored?

Zoom does not disclose a specific time frame in this regard, but emphasizes that the data collected will be stored for as long as it is necessary to provide the services or for its own purposes. The data will only be stored longer if this is required for legal reasons.

In principle, Zoom stores the data it collects on American servers, but data can arrive at different data centers worldwide.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

If you do not want data to be saved during the Zoom meeting, you must forgo the meeting. However, you always have the right and the option to have all of your personal data deleted. If you have a Zoom account, see https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201363243-How-Do-I-Delete-Terminate-My-Account instructions on how to delete your account.

Legal basis

Zoom also processes your data in the USA, among other places. We would like to point out that, according to the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA. This can pose various risks to the lawfulness and security of data processing.

As a basis for data processing for recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. in particular in the USA) or for data transfer there, Zoom uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Article 46, Paragraphs 2 and 3 of the GDPR). Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even if it is transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through these clauses, Zoom undertakes to comply with European data protection standards when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. You can find the resolution and the corresponding standard contractual clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=en

We hope to have provided you with an overview of data processing by Zoom. Of course, it can always happen that the company’s data protection guidelines change. We therefore recommend that you read Zoom’s data protection declaration at for more information on the data processed and the standard contractual clauses https://explore.zoom.us/de/privacy/.

Order processing agreement (OPA) Zoom

We have concluded an order processing agreement (AVV) with Zoom in accordance with Article 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). You can find out exactly what an AVV is and, above all, what must be contained in an AVV in our general section “Order Processing Agreement (AVV)”.

This contract is required by law because Zoom processes personal data on our behalf. This clarifies that Zoom may only process data that they receive from us according to our instructions and must comply with the GDPR. You can find the link to the order processing agreement (AVV) at https://explore.zoom.us/docs/doc/Zoom_GLOBAL_DPA.pdf.

Webdesign

What is Webdesign?

We use various tools on our website that serve our web design. Web design is not, as is often assumed, just about making our website look pretty, but also about functionality and performance. But of course the right look of a website is also one of the major goals of professional web design. Web design is a sub-area of media design and deals with the visual as well as the structural and functional design of a website. The aim is to use web design to improve your experience on our website. In web design jargon, this is referred to as user experience (UX) and usability. User experience refers to all the impressions and experiences that website visitors experience on a website. A sub-point of the user experience is usability. This is about the user-friendliness of a website. The main emphasis here is on ensuring that content, subpages or products are clearly structured and that you can find what you are looking for easily and quickly. In order to offer you the best possible experience on our website, we also use so-called third-party web design tools. In this data protection declaration, the “web design” category includes all services that improve the design of our website. These can be, for example, fonts, various plugins or other integrated web design functions.

Why do we use web design tools?

How you absorb information on a website depends very much on the structure, functionality and visual perception of the website. Therefore, good and professional web design became more and more important for us. We are constantly working on improving our website and see this as an extended service for you as a website visitor. Furthermore, a beautiful and functioning website also has economic advantages for us. After all, you will only visit us and take advantage of our offers if you feel completely comfortable.

What data are stored by web design tools?

When you visit our website, web design elements may be integrated into our pages, which can also process data. Exactly what data is involved, of course, depends heavily on the tools used. Below you can see exactly which tools we use for our website. We recommend that you read the respective data protection declaration of the tools used for more information about data processing. You will usually find out what data is being processed, whether cookies are being used and how long the data is being kept. Fonts such as Google Fonts also automatically transmit information such as language settings, IP address, browser version, browser screen resolution and browser name to the Google servers.

Duration of data processing

How long data is processed is very individual and depends on the web design elements used. For example, if cookies are used, the retention period can last as little as a minute or as long as a few years. Please be smart about this. On the one hand, we recommend our general text section on cookies and the data protection declarations of the tools used. There you can usually find out exactly which cookies are used and what information is stored in them. For example, Google Font files are stored for one year. This is intended to improve the loading time of a website. In principle, data is only retained for as long as is necessary to provide the service. If required by law, data can also be stored for longer.

Right to object

You also have the right and the opportunity to revoke your consent to the use of cookies or third-party providers at any time. This works either via our cookie management tool or via other opt-out functions. You can also prevent data collection through cookies by managing, deactivating or deleting cookies in your browser. However, there is also data among web design elements (mostly fonts) that cannot be deleted so easily. This is the case when data is automatically collected directly when a page is accessed and transmitted to a third-party provider (such as Google). Then please contact the support of the relevant provider. In the case of Google, you can reach support at https://support.google.com/?hl=en&sjid=9224794019913535070-EU.

Legal basis

If you have consented to the use of web design tools, the legal basis for the corresponding data processing is this consent. According to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), this consent represents the legal basis for the processing of personal data, as may occur when it is collected by web design tools. We also have a legitimate interest in web design to improve our website. After all, only then can we provide you with a beautiful and professional website. The corresponding legal basis for this is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR (legitimate interests). However, we only use web design tools if you have given your consent. We definitely want to emphasize this again here.

Information about special web design tools – if available – can be found in the following sections.

Adobe Fonts Data Privacy

We use Adobe Fonts, a web font hosting service, on our website. The service provider is the American company Adobe Inc. The Irish company Adobe Systems Software Ireland Companies, 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Ireland, is responsible for the European area.

Adobe also processes your data in the USA, among other places. Adobe is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data from EU citizens to the USA. You can find more information about this at https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en.

Adobe also uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46 Paragraphs 2 and 3 GDPR). Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even if it is transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the Standard Contractual Clauses, Adobe undertakes to comply with European data protection standards when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. You can find the resolution and the corresponding standard contractual clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=en

You can find more information about Adobe’s standard contractual clauses at https://www.adobe.com/uk/privacy/eudatatransfers.html.

You can find out more about the data processed through the use of Adobe Fonts in the Privacy Policy https://www.adobe.com/uk/privacy.html?tid=112680829.

Google Fonts Data Policy

What are Google Fonts?

We use Google Fonts on our website. These are the “Google Fonts” from Google Inc. For the European region, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services.

You do not need to register or provide a password to use Google fonts. Furthermore, no cookies are stored in your browser. The files (CSS, fonts/fonts) are requested via the Google domains fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. According to Google, requests for CSS and fonts are completely separate from all other Google services. If you have a Google Account, you do not need to worry that your Google Account information will be transmitted to Google while using Google Fonts. Google records the use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and the fonts used and stores this data securely. We will take a closer look at what data storage looks like.

Google Fonts (formerly Google Web Fonts) is a directory of over 800 fonts that Google makes available to its users for free.

Many of these fonts are released under the SIL Open Font License, while others are released under the Apache License. Both are free software licenses.

Why do we use Google Fonts on our website?

With Google Fonts we can use fonts on our own website and do not have to upload them to our own server. Google Fonts is an important component in keeping the quality of our website high. All Google fonts are automatically optimized for the web and this saves data volume and is a big advantage, especially for use on mobile devices. When you visit our site, the low file size ensures a fast loading time. Furthermore, Google Fonts are secure web fonts. Different image synthesis systems (rendering) in different browsers, operating systems and mobile devices can lead to errors. Such errors can visually distort some texts or entire websites. Thanks to the fast Content Delivery Network (CDN), there are no cross-platform issues with Google Fonts. Google Fonts supports all major browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera) and works reliably on most modern mobile operating systems, including Android 2.2+ and iOS 4.2+ (iPhone, iPad, iPod). We use Google Fonts so that we can display our entire online service as beautifully and consistently as possible.

What data does Google store?

When you visit our website, the fonts are downloaded via a Google server. Through this external call, data is transmitted to the Google servers. This is how Google also recognizes that you or your IP address visits our website. The Google Fonts API is designed to reduce the use, storage, and collection of end-user data to what is necessary for proper font delivery. By the way, API stands for “Application Programming Interface” and serves, among other things, as a data transmitter in the software sector.

Google Fonts stores CSS and font requests securely on Google and is therefore protected. By collecting usage figures, Google can determine how well the individual fonts are received. Google publishes the results on internal analysis sites, such as Google Analytics. Google also uses data from its own web crawler to determine which websites use Google fonts. This data is published in the Google Fonts BigQuery database. Entrepreneurs and developers use the Google web service BigQuery to examine and move large amounts of data.

However, it should also be remembered that with every Google Font request, information such as language settings, IP address, browser version, browser screen resolution and browser name are automatically transmitted to the Google servers. Whether this data is also stored cannot be clearly determined or is not clearly communicated by Google.

How long and where is the data stored?

Google stores requests for CSS assets for one day on its servers, which are mainly located outside the EU. This allows us to use the fonts using a Google stylesheet. A style sheet is a format template that you can use to quickly and easily change the design or font of a website, for example.

The font files are stored by Google for one year. Google’s goal is to fundamentally improve the loading time of websites. When millions of websites reference the same fonts, they are cached after the first visit and immediately appear on all other websites visited later. Sometimes Google updates font files to reduce file size, increase language coverage, and improve design.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

The data that Google stores for a day or a year cannot simply be deleted. The data is automatically transmitted to Google when the page is accessed. In order to delete this data early, you must contact Google Support https://support.google.com/?hl=en&tid=112680829&sjid=4950479865091231796-EU. In this case, you can only prevent data storage if you do not visit our site.

Unlike other web fonts, Google allows us unlimited access to all fonts. So we have unlimited access to a sea of fonts and get the best for our website. You can find out more about Google Fonts and other questions at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq?tid=112680829. Although Google addresses data protection-related matters there, it does not contain any really detailed information about data storage. It is relatively difficult to get really precise information about stored data from Google.

Legal basis

If you have consented to Google Fonts being used, the legal basis for the corresponding data processing is this consent. According to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), this consent represents the legal basis for the processing of personal data, as may occur when it is collected by Google Fonts.

We also have a legitimate interest in using Google Font to optimize our online service. The corresponding legal basis for this is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR (legitimate interests). However, we only use Google Font if you have given your consent.

The Google Ads Data Processing Terms, which refer to the standard contractual clauses, can be found at https://business.safety.google/intl/en/adsprocessorterms/.

You can also see which data is generally collected by Google and what this data is used for at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&tid=112680829.

Online-Booking Systems

What is an online booking system?

We use one or more booking systems so that you can make bookings via our website. Appointments, for example, can easily be created online. A booking system is a software application integrated into our website that displays available resources (such as available appointments) and through which you can book and usually pay directly online. You are probably already familiar with such booking systems from the catering or hotel industry. Such systems are now used in a wide variety of industries. Depending on the tool and settings, booking systems can be used both internally for us and for customers like you. As a rule, personal data from you is also collected and stored.

Booking usually works as follows: You will find the booking system on our website, where you can book an appointment for a service directly with a click of the mouse and enter your details and usually pay straight away. You may be able to enter various information about yourself using a form. Please be aware that any data you enter may be stored and managed in a database.

Why do we use an online booking system?

In a certain sense, we also see our website as a free service for you. We want you to receive helpful information and feel completely at home on our site. This also includes an online service that makes booking appointments or services as easy as possible. Gone are the days when you had to wait days for a booking confirmation via phone or email. With an online booking system, you have everything taken care of in just a few clicks and can concentrate on other things again. The system also makes it easier for us to manage all bookings and appointments. We therefore consider such a booking system to be absolutely sensible for both you and us.

Which data is processed?

Of course, we cannot tell you exactly which data is processed in this general information text about the booking system. This always depends on the tool used and the functions and options it contains. In addition to the traditional booking function, many booking systems also offer a number of other features. For example, many systems also have an external online payment system (e.g. from Stripe, Klarna or Paypal) and a calendar synchronization function integrated. Accordingly, different and different amounts of data can be processed depending on the functions. Data such as your IP address, name and contact details, technical information about your device and the time of a booking are usually processed. If you also make a payment in the system, bank details such as account numbers, credit card numbers, passwords, TANs, etc. are also stored and passed on to the respective payment provider. We recommend that you read the respective data protection declaration of the tool you use carefully so that you know which data is specifically being processed.

Duration of data processing

Every booking system stores data for different lengths of time. That is why we cannot yet provide any specific information about the duration of data processing. In principle, however, personal data is only stored for as long as is absolutely necessary to provide the services. Booking systems usually also use cookies, which store information for different lengths of time. Some cookies are deleted immediately after you leave the site, others can be stored for a few years. You can find out more about this in our “Cookies” section. Please also take a look at the respective data protection declarations of the providers. This should explain how long your data will be stored in the specific case.

Right to object

If you have consented to data processing by a booking system, you of course always have the option and right to revoke this consent. So please always be aware that you have rights in relation to your personal data and that you can exercise these rights at any time. If you do not want personal data to be processed, then no personal data may be processed. It’s that simple. The easiest way to revoke data processing is to use a cookie consent tool or other opt-out functions offered. For example, you can also manage data storage through cookies directly in your browser. The legality of data management remains unaffected until you revoke your consent.

Legal basis

If you have consented to the use of booking systems, the legal basis for the corresponding data processing is this consent. According to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), it represents the legal basis for the processing of personal data, as can occur through booking systems.

We also have a legitimate interest in using booking systems because, on the one hand, we can expand our customer service and, on the other hand, we can optimize our internal booking organization. The corresponding legal basis for this is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR (legitimate interests). However, we only use the tools if you have given your consent. We definitely want to record this again at this point.

Information on special booking systems – if available – can be found in the following sections.

Acuity Scheduling Data Privacy

We use Acuity Scheduling, an appointment scheduling software, for our website. The service provider is the American company Squarespace, Inc., 225 Varick Street, 8 Clarkson Street, New York, NY 10014, USA.

Squarespace also processes your data in the USA, among other places. Acuity Scheduling or Squarespace is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data from EU citizens to the USA. You can find more information about this at https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en.

Squarespace also uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46 Paragraphs 2 and 3 GDPR). Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even if it is transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the Standard Contractual Clauses, Squarespace commits to comply with European data protection standards when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. You can find the resolution and the corresponding standard contractual clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=en

You can find more information about Squarespace’s standard contractual clauses at https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000851908-GDPR-and-Squarespace?platform=v6&websiteId=63f402be9174a867e93f799d.

To learn more about the data processed through the use of Acuity Scheduling or Squarespace, please see the Privacy Policy https://www.squarespace.com/privacy?_ga=2.258155914.1225812344.1701362587-114216498.1700129574.

Final Word

Congratulations! If you are reading these lines, you have really “fought” your way through our entire privacy policy or at least scrolled this far. As you can see from the scope of our privacy policy, we do not take the protection of your personal data lightly.
It is important to us to inform you to the best of our knowledge and belief about the processing of personal data. We not only want to tell you which data is processed, but also explain the reasons for using various software programs. As a rule, data protection declarations sound very technical and legal. Since most of you are not web developers or lawyers, we wanted to take a different linguistic approach and explain the matter in simple and clear language. Of course, this is not always possible due to the subject matter. The most important terms are therefore explained in more detail at the end of the data protection declaration.
If you have any questions about data protection on our website, please do not hesitate to contact us or the responsible body. We wish you a wonderful time and hope to welcome you back to our website soon.
