Note on Data Transfer to Privacy-Insecure Third Countries and Transfer to US Companies not Certified under the DPF

We use tools from companies located in privacy-insecure third countries and US-based tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. Please note that in privacy-insecure third countries, a level of data protection comparable to the EU cannot be guaranteed.

We would like to emphasize that, in principle, the USA is considered a safe third country with a level of data protection comparable to the EU. Consequently, data transfer to the USA is permissible if the recipient holds certification under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or possesses appropriate additional guarantees. Information regarding transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we collaborate with various external entities. Sometimes, the transfer of personal data to these external entities is necessary. We only share personal data with external entities when required within the scope of contract fulfillment, when legally obliged (e.g., data disclosure to tax authorities), when we have a legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in the disclosure, or when another legal basis allows data sharing. When using data processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers based on a valid data processing agreement. In cases of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PAR. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, AT ANY TIME TO PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PAR. 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING IN SO FAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PAR. 2 GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, especially in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data which we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract delivered to yourself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

Information, Rectification, and Erasure

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. For this purpose and for any further questions regarding personal data, you can always contact us.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually require time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require them for the exercising, defending, or asserting of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balancing of interests between your rights and ours needs to be performed. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, aside from their storage, these data may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address line from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Promotional Emails

The use of contact information published in the context of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of promotional information, such as spam emails.

Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of specific services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or displaying videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, for providing specific functions you desire (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of services. If consent for storing cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, accept cookies for certain cases, or generally exclude them, as well as activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

You can find information about the cookies and services used on this website in this privacy policy.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact information you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for any follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries sent to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after completing the processing of your inquiry). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry via Email, Telephone, or Fax

If you contact us via email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries sent to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data sent to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after completing the processing of your request).

Storage Duration of Comments

The comments and the associated data are stored on this website and remain here until the commented content is completely deleted or comments need to be deleted for legal reasons (e.g., offensive comments).

Legal Basis

The storage of comments is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke any consent you have given at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

Gravatar

We have integrated Gravatar on this website. The provider is Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA (hereinafter “Gravatar”).

Gravatar is a tool that allows personal images (avatars) to be provided for users of our website. The avatars serve as visual representations of the users and are displayed wherever a user interacts with the platform (e.g., in forums or chats). When a user interacts with the platform, their avatar is displayed based on the selection associated with their email address. This adds a personal touch to users’ online presence and facilitates identification, as the chosen image is associated with users when they are active online.

When you comment or interact on our website and Gravatar is activated, the hash of the user’s email address using Gravatar (used as an ID) is processed by Gravatar.

The use of Gravatar is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in an appealing presentation of its forums. If appropriate consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

5. Analysis Tools and Advertising

Matomo

This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo.

With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data about the usage of our website by visitors. This allows us to determine, among other things, when specific page views occurred and from which region they originate. Additionally, we collect various log files (e.g., IP address, referrer, used browsers, and operating systems) and can measure whether our website visitors perform specific actions (e.g., clicks, purchases, etc.).

The use of this analytics tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. If appropriate consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, to the extent that the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

You may choose to prevent this website from aggregating and analyzing the actions you take here. Doing so will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and creating a better experience for you and other users.

Hosting

We exclusively host Matomo on our own servers, ensuring that all analysis data remains with us and is not shared.

6. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is either not collected or collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not share it with third parties.

The processing of data entered into the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for instance through the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter with us or the service provider. After you unsubscribe from the newsletter or when the purpose no longer applies, your data will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our discretion based on our legitimate interests according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Data stored for other purposes with us remains unaffected by this.

Upon your unsubscription from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if necessary, to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your and our interest in compliance with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to this storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interests.

7. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Enhanced Data Protection

This website embeds videos from the YouTube website. The operator of these pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the enhanced data protection mode does not necessarily exclude data transmission to YouTube partners. Therefore, YouTube – regardless of whether you watch a video – establishes a connection to the Google Marketing Network.

Once you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. This informs the YouTube server about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after starting a YouTube video, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). This allows YouTube to obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud.

Upon starting a YouTube video, additional data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no influence.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online content in an appealing manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If appropriate consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, to the extent that the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

The company has certification under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA aimed at ensuring compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA.

Vimeo without Tracking (Do-Not-Track)

This website uses plugins from the Vimeo video portal. The provider is Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.

Additionally, Vimeo obtains your IP address. However, we have configured Vimeo not to track your user activities and not to set cookies.

The use of Vimeo is in the interest of presenting our online content in an appealing manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If appropriate consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission and, according to Vimeo, on “legitimate business interests.” Details can be found here: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

We use the map service from OpenStreetMap (OSM).

We embed the map material from OpenStreetMap on the server of the OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John’s Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, United Kingdom. The United Kingdom is considered a data protection-safe third country, meaning that it has a level of data protection equivalent to that of the European Union. When using OpenStreetMap maps, a connection to the servers of the OpenStreetMap Foundation is established. This may include forwarding your IP address and other information about your behavior on this website to OSMF. OpenStreetMap may, under certain circumstances, store cookies in your browser or use similar recognition technologies.

If appropriate consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, to the extent that the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., for device fingerprinting) within the meaning of TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
