2 General Information

Pursuant to our statu­tory oblig­a­tions, we would like to inform you about the collec­tion and use of your personal data.

When you use our website, personal data about you will be collected. This may happen by you enter­ing the data your­self, for example your e‑mail address. But our system also collects your data auto­mat­i­cally, for example when­ever you visit our website. This happens irre­spec­tive of the device or the soft­ware that you use to visit our website.

All data that you enter in our app is provided volun­tar­ily; there are no disad­van­tages to you if you do not provide data. But without certain data, we are unable to provide services or to conclude contracts. When­ever such infor­ma­tion is neces­sary, we will point it out to you.

On this website, the user’s personal data is only collected within the frame­work of the exist­ing data-protec­tion law, in partic­u­lar the General Data Protec­tion Regu­la­tion (GDPR). The legal terms used in the text are defined in Art. 4 of the GDPR.

The GDPR allows data process­ing in three cases in partic­u­lar:

  • in accor­dance with Art. 6 para. 1 (a) and 7 GDPR, when you have consented to us process­ing your data; in this Privacy Policy and in the cases of consent pursuant to Art. 4 no. 11 GDPR, we will inform you in detail and each time for what purposes and under what circum­stances your data will be processed by us;
  • in accor­dance with Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR, when process­ing your personal data is neces­sary for nego­ti­at­ing, conclud­ing or perform­ing a contract;
  • in accor­dance with Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR, if the balanc­ing of inter­ests leads to the conclu­sion that the process­ing is neces­sary to protect our legit­i­mate inter­ests; this means in partic­u­lar our inter­ests to analyse, opti­mise and secure the offers on our website – meaning primar­ily the analy­sis of user behav­iour, setting up profiles for adver­tise­ment purposes and storage of access data as well as the use of third-party providers.

2.1 Inven­tory Data

We collect inven­tory data as far as it is neces­sary to estab­lish, nego­ti­ate or amend a contract (includ­ing one without remu­ner­a­tion) between us and the user. This can be: customer data (for example name, address), contact data (for example e‑mail address, phone number), service data (for example services ordered, dura­tion, payment). Upon estab­lish­ing the user rela­tion­ship, we will ask you for this data (for example name, address and e‑mail address) and will also tell you which of the infor­ma­tion is required to estab­lish the user relationship.

2.2 Usage Data

We also collect usage data to allow users to use the services on our website. These may consist of: usage infor­ma­tion (for example visited websites or parts, dura­tion of visit, inter­est in services), content data (for example data, text, images, sounds, videos entered or uploaded by you), meta data (for example iden­tity of your device, loca­tion, IP address).

We will only combine usage data if and insofar as it is neces­sary for billing purposes. Other­wise, we will only put together usage data pseu­do­ny­mously and only insofar as you have not objected. You may send this objec­tion to the address indi­cated in the “About Us” section or the respon­si­ble author­ity indi­cated in this Privacy Policy at any time.

The legal basis for this data process­ing are our legit­i­mate inter­ests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR in analysing the website and your use, possi­bly also the statu­tory permis­sion to store data as part of the nego­ti­a­tion of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.

Further­more, our provider stores infor­ma­tion, the so-called server log files, each time the website is used; this is infor­ma­tion which is auto­mat­i­cally trans­ferred by your browser. In detail, this data consists of:

  • your IP address
  • type and version of your browser
  • host name
  • time of visit
  • the page from which you came to our page
  • name of the page opened
  • exact time of usage as well as
  • the amount of data transferred

This data will only be used for statis­ti­cal purposes and do not allow us to iden­tify you as a user.

3 First Contact through Electronic Request

If you contact us in elec­tronic form (for example by mail, fax, phone, messen­ger, etc.), we store and process the data which you have given us (for example name, contact infor­ma­tion, content of the request). This is based on our legit­i­mate inter­est in an effec­tive commu­ni­ca­tion with customers in accor­dance with Article 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR and, as far as it concerns a request to enter into or to perform a contract, also with Article 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.
We will only pass on this data to third parties as far as required for the perfor­mance of the contract (in accor­dance with Article 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR), by the over­whelm­ing inter­est in effec­tive services (in accor­dance with Article 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR) or based on your consent (in accor­dance with Article 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR) or if there is another legal permis­sion or oblig­a­tion.
You may ask us at any time and without any cost to provide infor­ma­tion about the purpose of the process­ing, the origin and the recip­i­ent, if any, of your data. You may also request that we correct, delete or limit the process­ing of your personal data. You may object against the (further) process­ing of your data at any time and you have a right for the data to be made trans­fer­able as well as the right to file a complaint with the compe­tent super­vi­sory agency.
In general, your data will only remain stored as long as required by the purpose of the respec­tive data process­ing. A longer storage is an option, in partic­u­lar when required in order to pursue our rights, for other legit­i­mate inter­ests of ours or when there is a statu­tory duty to keep the data longer (for example record-keeping under tax law, statute of limitations).

4 Consent

When­ever we ask you for your consent for the process­ing of your data, we will inform you in clear language and in an easily acces­si­ble way about the cases for which you will be grant­ing your consent. Any consent that we ask you for is volun­tary. Any advan­tage that you wish to gain by grant­ing consent is also avail­able without consent; simply ask us.

Regard­ing any consent, you have the right to revoke any consent given to us for the process­ing of your personal data at any time. You just need to contact us without any partic­u­lar formal require­ment, for example through our contact form, an e‑mail to the e‑mail address indi­cated in the “About Us” section or a link to unsub­scribe (if offered by us). Your with­drawal has no effect on the legal­ity of the data process­ing carried out up to that point.

5 Storage Period

Gener­ally, your data will only remain stored as long as required by the purpose of the respec­tive data process­ing. Storage beyond that is possi­ble in partic­u­lar if it is still required for pursu­ing our rights or for other legit­i­mate inter­ests of ours.
For your inven­tory data which were neces­sary to perform a contract (includ­ing one without remu­ner­a­tion), this means that we store this data until the complete perfor­mance or termi­na­tion of the contrac­tual rela­tion­ship plus the limi­ta­tion period (which is gener­ally 2 or 3 years) plus an adequate extra time for poten­tial inter­rup­tions of the limi­ta­tion period.
For your usage data which was collected in the course of your use of the website, this means that we will store it only for the time still required for the proper func­tion­al­ity of our website and as long as we still have a legit­i­mate inter­est. Statis­ti­cal infor­ma­tion will be primar­ily stored by us in pseu­do­ny­mous form.
Beyond that, we still store your data for as long as we are required to do so by law. This concerns in partic­u­lar the tax-law require­ments to keep records, usually for 6 or even 10 years.

6 Users‘ Rights

You may request us anytime to provide infor­ma­tion about the personal data stored about you free of charge. To avoid misuse, this will require personal identification.

6.1 Dele­tion, Correc­tion, Limitation

You may at any time demand from us that we correct (or complete) incor­rect data as well as a limi­ta­tion of the process­ing of data or dele­tion of your data. This applies in partic­u­lar if the reason for process­ing the data is no longer valid, if a required consent has been revoked and there is no other legal basis or if our data process­ing is unlaw­ful. We will then correct, block or even delete your personal data without delay as far as permit­ted by law.

6.2 Objec­tion

The right to object to adver­tise­ment is governed by our text regard­ing consent:
Regard­ing any consent, you have the right to revoke any consent given to us for the process­ing of your personal data at any time. You just need to contact us without any partic­u­lar formal require­ment, for example through our contact form, an e‑mail to the e‑mail address indi­cated in the “About Us” section or a link to unsub­scribe (if offered by us). Your with­drawal has no effect on the legal­ity of the data process­ing carried out up to that point.

6.3 Data Transfer

You may request us to trans­fer the data stored about you in machine-read­able form.

6.4 Complaint

If you feel that our data process­ing has violated any of your rights, you may file a complaint with the compe­tent regu­la­tory agency (here you find a list of the agencies).

7 Changes to the Privacy Policy

If and when factual or legal reasons will compel us to amend the Privacy Policy, we will update this page accord­ingly. This will not change the consent provided by the user.

8 Data Entry

8.1 Encryp­tion of Data Entry

When you enter data on our website, whether in a contact form, during the regis­tra­tion process, when you log in or for payment purposes, the website, where you enter the data, is encrypted. Thus, third parties can not read what you enter. You will recog­nise the encryp­tion by the lock symbol in your browser and by the URL begin­ning with “https“ instead of “http“.

8.2 Contact Forms

8.2.1 General contact form

When you fill out a contact form or when you send us an e‑mail or another elec­tronic message, your infor­ma­tion will be stored for the process­ing of the request, for possi­ble follow-up ques­tions or for other related ques­tions and will only be used to follow up with the request.

Your data will be trans­ferred in an encrypted manner, prevent­ing third parties from reading your data while it is being entered.

Basis for this storage is the safe­guard­ing of our legit­i­mate inter­ests in regard to commu­ni­ca­tion with inter­ested users pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR and in the case of inquiries prior to enter­ing into a contract also the perfor­mance of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para (b) GDPR.

Your data remains stored for as long as the process­ing of the request requires, in partic­u­lar as long as the storage is still neces­sary to perform the contract, to pursue our rights or for our other legit­i­mate inter­ests or we are compelled by law to keep your data stored (for example based on tax-law require­ments to main­tain files).
