Below you will find an overview of the legal basis under the GDPR on which we process personal data. Please note that, in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection regulations may apply in your or our country of residence or registered office. If more specific legal bases are relevant in individual cases, we will inform you of this in the privacy policy.
Consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) - The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
Contract fulfillment and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR) - Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
Legal obligation (Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR) - Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) - Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.
National data protection regulations in Germany: In addition to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, national regulations on data protection apply in Germany. These include, in particular, the Act on the Protection against Misuse of Personal Data in Data Processing (Federal Data Protection Act – BDSG). The BDSG contains, in particular, special regulations on the right to information, the right to erasure, the right to object, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes and transfer, and automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling. Furthermore, state data protection laws of the individual federal states may apply.
In accordance with legal requirements, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of the processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
These measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as access, input, transfer, availability, and separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure that the rights of data subjects are exercised, data is deleted, and responses are made to threats to data. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account as early as the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design and data protection-friendly default settings.
Securing online connections with TLS/SSL encryption technology (HTTPS): We use TLS/SSL encryption technology to protect user data transmitted via our online services from unauthorized access. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are the cornerstones of secure data transmission on the Internet. These technologies encrypt the information transmitted between the website or app and the user's browser (or between two servers), protecting the data from unauthorized access. TLS, as the more advanced and secure version of SSL, ensures that all data transmissions meet the highest security standards. When a website is secured by an SSL/TLS certificate, this is indicated by the display of HTTPS in the URL. This serves as an indicator to users that their data is being transmitted securely and encrypted.
In the course of our processing of personal data, it may happen that this data is transferred to or disclosed to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units, or persons. The recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with the legal requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data that serve to protect your data.
Data processing in third countries: If we transfer data to a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this occurs in the context of using third-party services or disclosing or transferring data to other persons, agencies, or companies (which can be identified by the postal address of the respective provider or if the privacy policy expressly refers to the transfer of data to third countries), this is always done in accordance with legal requirements.
For data transfers to the USA, we primarily rely on the Data Privacy Framework (DPF), which was recognized as a secure legal framework by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission on July 10, 2023. In addition, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with the respective providers that comply with the requirements of the EU Commission and establish contractual obligations to protect your data.
This double safeguard ensures comprehensive protection of your data: The DPF forms the primary level of protection, while the standard contractual clauses serve as additional security. Should changes arise within the framework of the DPF, the standard contractual clauses serve as a reliable fallback option. In this way, we ensure that your data remains adequately protected even in the event of political or legal changes.
We will inform you whether individual service providers are certified under the DPF and whether standard contractual clauses are in place. For more information on the DPF and a list of certified companies, please visit the U.S. Department of Commerce website at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.
Appropriate security measures apply to data transfers to other third countries, in particular standard contractual clauses, express consent, or transfers required by law. Information on third country transfers and applicable adequacy decisions can be found in the information provided by the EU Commission: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en?prefLang=de.
We delete personal data that we process in accordance with legal requirements as soon as the underlying consent is revoked or there is no further legal basis for processing. This applies to cases in which the original purpose of processing no longer applies or the data is no longer required. Exceptions to this rule exist if legal obligations or special interests require longer storage or archiving of the data.
In particular, data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons or whose storage is necessary for legal prosecution or to protect the rights of other natural or legal persons must be archived accordingly.
Our data protection information contains additional information on the storage and deletion of data that applies specifically to certain processing procedures.
If there are several specifications regarding the retention period or deletion deadlines for a piece of data, the longest period shall always apply. We process data that is no longer required for its original purpose but is retained due to legal requirements or other reasons exclusively for the reasons that justify its retention.
Storage and deletion of data: The following general periods apply to storage and archiving under German law:
10 years - Retention period for books and records, annual financial statements, inventories, management reports, opening balance sheets, and the work instructions and other organizational documents necessary for their understanding (Section 147 (1) No. 1 in conjunction with (3) AO, § 14b (1) UStG, § 257 (1) No. 1 in conjunction with (4) HGB).
8 years - Accounting documents, such as invoices and expense receipts (Section 147 (1) No. 4 and 4a in conjunction with (3) sentence 1 AO and Section 257 (1) No. 4 in conjunction with (4) HGB).
6 years - Other business documents: commercial or business letters received, copies of commercial or business letters sent, other documents relevant to taxation, e.g., hourly wage slips, operating statements, calculation documents, price tags, but also payroll documents, insofar as they are not already accounting documents, and cash register receipts (Section 147 (1) No. 2, 3, 5 in conjunction with (3) AO, Section 257 (1) No. 2 and 3 in conjunction with (4) HGB).
3 years - Data required to consider potential warranty and damage claims or similar contractual claims and rights, as well as to process related inquiries, based on previous business experience and customary industry practices, will be stored for the duration of the regular statutory limitation period of three years (Sections 195, 199 BGB).
Start of the period at the end of the year: If a period does not expressly begin on a specific date and lasts at least one year, it automatically begins at the end of the calendar year in which the event triggering the period occurred. In the case of ongoing contractual relationships in which data is stored, the event triggering the period is the date on which the termination or other termination of the legal relationship takes effect.
Rights of data subjects under the GDPR: As a data subject, you have various rights under the GDPR, which arise in particular from Articles 15 to 21 GDPR:
Right to object: You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. If the personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
Right to withdraw consent: You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Right to information: You have the right to request confirmation as to whether data concerning you is being processed and to obtain information about this data as well as further information and a copy of the data in accordance with the legal requirements at .
Right to rectification: In accordance with legal requirements, you have the right to request the completion of data concerning you or the rectification of inaccurate data concerning you.
Right to erasure and restriction of processing: In accordance with legal requirements, you have the right to request that data concerning you be erased immediately or, alternatively, in accordance with legal requirements, to request a restriction on the processing of the data.
Right to data portability: You have the right to receive data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format in accordance with legal requirements, or to request that it be transferred to another controller.
Complaint to supervisory authority: Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the provisions of the GDPR.
We process data of our contractual and business partners, e.g., customers and interested parties (collectively referred to as "contractual partners"), within the framework of contractual and comparable legal relationships and related measures and with regard to communication with contractual partners (or pre-contractually), for example, to respond to inquiries.
We use this data to fulfill our contractual obligations. These include, in particular, the obligations to provide the agreed services, any update obligations, and remedies in the event of warranty and other service disruptions. In addition, we use the data to protect our rights and for the purposes of administrative tasks associated with these obligations and for company organization. We also process the data on the basis of our legitimate interests in both proper and economic business management and in security measures to protect our contractual partners and our business operations from misuse, endangerment of their data, secrets, information, and rights (e.g., for the involvement of telecommunications, transport, and other auxiliary services, as well as subcontractors, banks, tax and legal advisors, payment service providers, or tax authorities). Within the framework of applicable law, we only pass on the data of contractual partners to third parties to the extent necessary for the aforementioned purposes or to fulfill legal obligations. Contractual partners will be informed about other forms of processing, such as for marketing purposes, within the framework of this privacy policy.
We inform contractual partners of the data required for the aforementioned purposes before or during data collection, e.g., in online forms, by means of special markings (e.g., colors) or symbols (e.g., asterisks or similar), or in person.
We delete the data after the expiry of statutory warranty and comparable obligations, i.e. generally after four years, unless the data is stored in a customer account, e.g. as long as it must be retained for archiving for legal reasons (e.g. for tax purposes, usually ten years). We delete data disclosed to us by the contractual partner within the scope of an order in accordance with the specifications and, as a rule, after the end of the order.
Types of data processed: Inventory data (e.g., full name, residential address, contact information, customer number, etc.); payment data (e.g., bank details, invoices, payment history); contact data (e.g., postal and email addresses or telephone numbers).

Within the framework of contractual and other legal relationships, on the basis of legal obligations or otherwise on the basis of our legitimate interests, we offer the data subjects efficient and secure payment options and use other service providers in addition to banks and credit institutions (collectively referred to as "payment service providers") for this purpose. The data processed by the payment service providers includes inventory data, such as name and address, bank details, such as account numbers or credit card numbers, passwords, TANs, and checksums, as well as contract, sum, and recipient-related information. This information is necessary to carry out the transactions. However, the data entered is only processed and stored by the payment service providers. This means that we do not receive any account or credit card-related information, but only information confirming or denying the payment. Under certain circumstances, the data may be transmitted by the payment service providers to credit agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to verify identity and creditworthiness. For more information, please refer to the terms and conditions and privacy policy of the payment service providers.
Payment transactions are subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policies of the respective payment service providers, which can be accessed on their respective websites or transaction applications. We also refer to these for further information and the assertion of rights of revocation, information, and other rights of data subjects.

Further information on processing procedures, processes, and services:
Provision of online services on rented storage space: To provide our online services, we use storage space, computing capacity, and software that we rent or otherwise obtain from a corresponding server provider (also known as a "web host"); Legal basis: legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Provision of online services on our own/dedicated server hardware: We use server hardware operated by us and the associated storage space, computing capacity, and software to provide our online services; Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
Collection of access data and log files: Access to our online offering is logged in the form of so-called "server log files." Server log files may include the address and name of the websites and files accessed, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page) and, as a rule, IP addresses and the requesting provider. The server log files can be used for security purposes, e.g. to prevent server overload (especially in the case of malicious attacks, known as DDoS attacks), and to ensure server utilization and stability; Legal basis: legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Deletion of data: Log file information is stored for a maximum of 30 days and then deleted or anonymized. Data that must be retained for evidentiary purposes is excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.
Email dispatch and hosting: The web hosting services we use also include the sending, receiving, and storage of emails. For these purposes, the addresses of the recipients and senders, as well as other information relating to the sending of emails (e.g., the providers involved) and the contents of the respective emails, are processed. The aforementioned data may also be processed for the purpose of detecting SPAM. Please note that emails are generally not sent in encrypted form on the Internet. As a rule, emails are encrypted during transmission, but (unless a so-called end-to-end encryption method is used) not on the servers from which they are sent and received. We therefore cannot accept any responsibility for the transmission of emails between the sender and the recipient on our server; legal basis: legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
The term "cookies" refers to functions that store and read information on users' end devices. Cookies can also be used for various purposes, such as to ensure the functionality, security, and convenience of online services and to analyze visitor traffic. We use cookies in accordance with legal requirements. To do so, we obtain the consent of users in advance, if necessary. If consent is not necessary, we rely on our legitimate interests. This applies if the storage and retrieval of information is essential in order to provide expressly requested content and functions. This includes, for example, the storage of settings and ensuring the functionality and security of our online offering. Consent can be revoked at any time. We provide clear information about the scope of consent and which cookies are used.
Information on the legal basis for data protection: Whether we process personal data using cookies depends on consent. If consent has been given, it serves as the legal basis. Without consent, we rely on our legitimate interests, which are explained above in this section and in the
context of the respective services and procedures.
Storage period: With regard to the storage period, a distinction is made between the following types of cookies:
Temporary cookies (also known as session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user leaves an online offering and closes their device (e.g., browser or mobile application).
Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the device is closed. This allows, for example, the log-in status to be stored and preferred content to be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. The user data collected with the help of cookies can also be used to measure reach. Unless we provide users with explicit information about the type and storage period of cookies (e.g., when obtaining consent), they should assume that these are permanent and that the storage period can be up to two years.
General information on revocation and objection (opt-out): Users can revoke their consent at any time and also object to the processing in accordance with the legal requirements, including through the privacy settings of their browser.

Further information on processing procedures, processes, and services:
Processing of cookie data based on consent: We use a consent management solution that obtains users' consent to the use of cookies or to the procedures and providers specified in the consent management solution. This procedure is used to obtain, log, manage, and revoke consent, in particular with regard to the use of cookies and similar technologies, which are used to store, read, and process information on users' end devices. As part of this procedure, users' consent is obtained for the use of cookies and the associated processing of information, including the specific processing and providers mentioned in the consent management procedure. Users also have the option of managing and revoking their consent. The declarations of consent are stored in order to avoid repeated queries and to be able to provide proof of consent in accordance with legal requirements. Storage takes place on the server side and/or in a cookie (known as an opt-in cookie) or using comparable technologies in order to be able to assign consent to a specific user or their device. If no specific information is available about the providers of consent management services, the following general information applies: Consent is stored for up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored together with the time of consent, details of the scope of consent (e.g., relevant categories of cookies and/or service providers), and information about the browser, system, and device used; Legal basis: consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Contact form: When you contact us via our contact form, by email, or other means of communication, we process the personal data you provide to respond to and process your request. This usually includes information such as your name, contact details, and, if applicable, other information that you provide to us and that is necessary for proper processing. We use this data exclusively for the stated purpose of establishing contact and communication; Legal bases: fulfillment of a contract and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR), legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR).
We maintain online presences within social networks and process user data in this context in order to communicate with users active there or to offer information about us.
We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may result in risks for users, as it could, for example, make it more difficult to enforce user rights.
Furthermore, user data within social networks is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created based on the usage behavior and resulting interests of users. The latter may in turn be used to place advertisements within and outside the networks that are presumed to correspond to the interests of the users. For this reason, cookies are usually stored on users' computers, in which the usage behavior and interests of users are stored. In addition, data can also be stored in the usage profiles independently of the devices used by users (especially if they are members of the respective platforms and are logged in there).
For a detailed description of the respective forms of processing and the options for objection (opt-out), we refer to the privacy policies and information provided by the operators of the respective networks.
In the case of requests for information and the assertion of data subject rights, we would also like to point out that these can be most effectively asserted with the providers. Only the latter have access to the user data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. However, if you still need help, you can contact us.
Types of data processed: Contact details (e.g., postal and email addresses or telephone numbers); Content data (e.g., text or image messages and posts, as well as information relating to them, such as details of authorship or time of creation). Usage data (e.g., page views and dwell time, click paths, usage intensity and frequency, device types and operating systems used, interactions with content and functions).
Data subjects: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
Purposes of processing: Communication; feedback (e.g., collecting feedback via online form). Public relations.
Storage and deletion: Deletion in accordance with the information in the section "General information on data storage and deletion."
Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Changes and updates
We ask you to regularly review the content of our privacy policy. We will amend the privacy policy as soon as changes to the data processing we carry out make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require action on your part (e.g., consent) or other individual notification.
If we provide addresses and contact information for companies and organizations in this privacy policy, please note that the addresses may change over time and check the information before contacting them.
Definition of terms
This section provides an overview of the terms used in this privacy policy. Where the terms are defined by law, their legal definitions apply. The following explanations are primarily intended to aid understanding.
Employees: Employees are persons who are in an employment relationship, whether as staff, salaried employees, or in similar positions. An employment relationship is a legal relationship between an employer and an employee that is established by an employment contract or agreement. It includes the employer's obligation to pay the employee remuneration while the employee performs his or her work.
