2. General notes and mandatory information

General information on the legal basis of data processing

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR, provided that special categories of data according to Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access information in your terminal device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on § 25 Para. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the performance of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Information about the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

As part of our business activities, we work with various external bodies. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external bodies. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary as part of the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR in passing it on, or if another legal basis allows the data transfer. When using processors, we only pass on our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

3. Overview & Security Measures

Encryption

For security reasons, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption (TLS 1.3). Confidential data (such as uploads or payment data) cannot be read by third parties.

We store passwords and API keys exclusively as cryptographic hash values (Bcrypt/MD5). It is technically impossible for us to trace the original.

Hosting (Strato)

We host the content of our website with the following provider: Strato AG, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany. When you visit our website, Strato collects various log files including your IP addresses. Strato is used on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the most reliable presentation of our website possible.

Order Processing: We have concluded a contract for order processing (AVV) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that they process the personal data of our website visitors only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

4. Data collection on our website

Cookies (Technically necessary only)

We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or analysis tools (such as Google Analytics). We only use technically necessary session cookies (e.g. PHPSESSID) to store your login status during your visit. These are automatically deleted after closing the browser.

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in the technical stability and security of the systems).

Contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of 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, provided your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Social Media

Social media elements with Shariff

Social media elements are used on this website (e.g. Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr).

You can usually recognize the social media elements by the respective social media logos. To ensure data protection on this website, we only use these elements together with the so-called "Shariff" solution. This application prevents the social media elements integrated into this website from transferring your personal data to the respective provider the first time you enter the site.

Only when you activate the respective social media element by clicking the associated button is a direct connection to the provider's server established (consent). As soon as you activate the social media element, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you are logged into your respective social media account (e.g. Facebook) at the same time, the respective provider can assign the visit to this website to your user account.

Activating the plugin represents consent within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TDDDG. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. The service is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR.
