As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This concerns all data that reveals something about you and by which you can be identified. In this privacy policy, we would like to explain how, for what purpose and on which legal basis we process your data.
Responsible for the data processing (“data controller”) on this website and in our company is:
Katja Bell
Bahnhofstraße 14
56736 Kottenheim

When you enter your data on websites, place online orders or send e-mails via the Internet, you must always be prepared for unauthorized third parties to access your data. There is no complete protection against such access. However, we do our utmost to protect your data as best we can and to close security gaps as far as we can.
An important protection mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize the encryption by the lock icon in front of the Internet address entered in your browser and by the fact that our Internet address begins with https:// and not with http://.
Payment data, such as account or credit card numbers, require special protection. For this reason, payment transactions made with the most common means of payment are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection.
In some parts in this privacy policy, we inform you about how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf will store your data. In the absence of such information, we store your data until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, you object to the data processing or you revoke your consent to the data processing.
In the event of an objection or revocation, we may however continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:
In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the requirement(s) cease to apply.
On our website, we use tools from companies that transfer your data to the USA and store it there and, if necessary, process it further. The European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision for the EU-US data protection framework. The decision establishes that the US ensures an adequate level of protection for EU personal data transferred to US companies. This decision is based on new safeguards and measures put in place by the US to meet data protection requirements. The adequacy decision includes, among other things, restrictions and safeguards on access to data by US intelligence agencies. Binding safeguards were introduced to limit US intelligence agencies' access to what is necessary and proportionate to protect national security. In addition, enhanced oversight of US intelligence activities was established to ensure that restrictions on surveillance activities are respected. An independent redress mechanism has also been established to handle and resolve complaints from European citizens about access to their data. The EU-US data protection framework thus allows European companies to transfer data to certified US companies without having to introduce additional data protection safeguards. A list of all certified companies can be found at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search.
A change in the European Commission's decision cannot be ruled out.
IF IT'S STATED IN THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA AND THAT THIS PROCESSING IS THEREFORE BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 SENTENCE 1 LIT. F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT IN ACCORDANCE WITH ART. 21 GDPR. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING THAT IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PROVISION. THE PREREQUISITE IS THAT YOU STATE REASONS FOR THE OBJECTION THAT ARISE FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. NO REASONS ARE REQUIRED IF THE OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING.
THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE OBJECTION IS THAT WE MAY NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS ONLY DOES NOT APPLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING PREREQUISITS EXISTS:
THESE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING OR TO PROFILING RELATED TO IT.
Many data processing operations are based on your consent. You can give this consent, for example, by ticking the appropriate box on online forms before you send the form, or by allowing the operation of certain cookies when you visit our website. You may revoke your consent at any time without giving reasons (Art. 7 (3) GDPR). From the time of revocation, we may then no longer process your data. The only exception: we are required by law to retain the data for a certain period of time. Such retention periods exist in particular in tax and commercial law.
If you believe that we are in breach of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR. You may contact a supervisory authority in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place where the alleged infringement took place. The right to complain exists alongside administrative or judicial remedies.
We must hand over data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract to you or a third party in a common machine-readable format if you request this. We can only transfer the data to another “data controller” if this is technically possible.
According to Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to receive information free of charge about which of your personal data we have stored, where the data came from, to whom we transmit the data and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have a right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), and under the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR you may demand that we delete the data.
In certain situations, according to Art. 18 GDPR, you may demand that we restrict the processing of your data. The data may then - apart from storage - only be processed as follows:
The right to restrict processing exists in the following situations:
Our website is hosted on a server of the following Internet service provider (hoster):
Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co. KG
Königsberger Straße 4-6
32339 Espelkamp, Germany
Yes
The hoster stores all the data from our website. This includes all personal data that is collected automatically or through entering. This can be in particular: Your IP address, pages accessed, names, contact details and requests, as well as meta and communication data. When processing data, our hoster adheres to our instructions and always processes the data only insofar as this is necessary to fulfill the service obligation to us.
Since we address potential customers via our website and maintain contacts with existing customers, the data processing by our hoster serves to initiate and fulfill contracts and is therefore based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. In addition, it is our legitimate interest as a company to provide a professional Internet offering that meets the necessary requirements for security, speed and efficiency. In this respect, we also process your data on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
Our website places cookies on your device. These are small text files that are used for various purposes. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function at all (necessary cookies). Others are needed to perform certain actions or functions on the site (functional cookies). For example, without cookies it would not be possible to take advantage of a shopping cart in an online store. Still other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or to optimize advertising measures. If we use third-party services on our website, for example to process payment transactions, these companies may also leave cookies on your device when you access the website (so-called third-party cookies).
Session cookies are only stored on your device for the duration of a session. As soon as you close the browser, they therefore disappear by themselves. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device unless you delete them yourself. This can, for example, lead to your user behavior being permanently analyzed. You can use the settings in your browser to influence how it handles cookies:
If you disable or do not allow cookies, the functionality of the website may be limited.
If we use cookies from other companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this as part of this privacy policy. We also request your consent in this regard when you access our website.
We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our online offers can be used by visitors without technical problems and that all desired functions are available to them. The storage of necessary and functional cookies on your device therefore takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. We use all other cookies on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR, provided you give us your consent. You can revoke this at any time with effect for the future. If you have consented to the placement of necessary and functional cookies when requesting consent, these cookies will also be stored exclusively on the basis of your consent.
Consent management platform (CMP) for obtaining and processing GDPR-compliant consent.
Legalcore AG, Reinhardtstr. 7, 10117 Berlin, Germany
Yes
https://cockpit.legal/datenschutz/
We use Legal Cockpit's consent management platform to obtain your consent to store cookies on your device in a data protection compliant manner. When you visit our website and close the Legal Cockpit cookie window requesting consent, the following data is transmitted to the company:
In addition, the Legal Cockpit stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the consent given or its revocation to your browser. All collected data is stored until the cookies are no longer needed, you delete the Legal Cockpit cookie or request us to delete the data. This does not apply only if we are required by law to retain the data.
We are legally obliged to obtain the consent of our website visitors for the use of certain cookies. In order to fulfill this obligation, we use Legal Cockpit. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR.
Server log files log all requests and accesses to our website and record error messages. They also include personal data, in particular your IP address. However, this is anonymized by the provider after a short time, so that we cannot assign the data to your person. The data is automatically transmitted to our provider by your browser.
Our provider stores the server log files in order to be able to track the activities on our website and to locate errors. The files contain the following data:
We do not combine this data with other data but use it only for statistical analysis and to improve our website.
We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website runs without errors. It is also our legitimate interest to obtain an anonymized overview of the accesses to our website. Therefore, the data processing is lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
You can send us a message via the contact form on this website.
We store your message and the information from the form in order to process your request including follow-up questions. This also applies to the contact details provided. We do not pass on the data to other persons without your consent.
We delete your data as soon as one of the following occurs:
This does not apply only if we are required by law to retain the data.
If your request is related to our contractual relationship or serves the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. In all other cases, it is our legitimate interest to effectively process requests directed to us. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of your data, Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. In this case, you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
You can send us a message by e-mail or fax or call us.
We store your message as well as your self-made contact details or the transmitted telephone number in order to be able to process your inquiry including follow-up questions. We do not pass on the data to other persons without your consent.
We delete your data as soon as one of the following occurs:
This does not apply only if we are required by law to retain the data.
If your request is related to our contractual relationship or serves the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. In all other cases, it is our legitimate interest to effectively process requests directed to us. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of your data, Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. In this case, you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
Tool for appointment scheduling
Calendly LLC,88 N Avondale Road #603, Avondale Estates, GA 30002, USA
Yes
https://calendly.com/pages/privacy

To schedule an appointment with us, you can use the Calendly tool on our website. We use the data for the planning, execution and, if necessary, follow-up of the appointment.
We delete your data as soon as one of the following occurs:
This does not apply only if we are required by law to retain the data.
We have a legitimate interest in making appointments with customers and other interested parties as uncomplicated as possible. The data processing is therefore based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of your data, the legal basis is exclusively Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. In this case, you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
Privacy-friendly tool for analysing user behaviour for WordPress
Burst Statistics BV, CoC 85105147, Kalmarweg 14-5, 9723 JG, Groningen, Netherlands
Yes
https://burst-statistics.com/legal/privacy-statement-eu/
We are always interested in optimizing our web offer for visitors to our website and placing advertisements in the best possible way. We are helped in this by Burst Statistics, a tool that analyzes the behavior of users and thus provides us with the necessary database for adjustments. Through the tool, we receive information about the origin of our visitors, their page views and the time they spend on the pages, as well as the operating system they use. Burst Statistics only collects anonymised data that is stored locally without sharing it with other parties.
As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior for the purpose of optimizing our website and the advertising placed there. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. In the event that you have consented, for example, to the storage of cookies or have otherwise consented to data processing by Burst Statistics, only Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
Service for sending newsletters and messages and for analyzing recipient behavior and managing marketing activities.
Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany.
Yes
https://www.brevo.com/de/legal/privacypolicy/ and https://www.brevo.com/de/legal/antispampolicy/
Brevo allows us to manage a database of email contacts, phone numbers or any other contact information in order to communicate with customers and other interested parties.
This may include collecting information on what date and time a message was read, as well as when the contacted person interacts with incoming messages, for example by clicking on links contained therein.
It is also possible to send - timed - messages to customers and other interested parties.
If you would like to receive our newsletter or other messages, we need your e-mail address/corresponding contact information. We will also check by means of a confirmation e-mail (double opt-in procedure) whether you are really the owner of this e-mail address and/or telephone number. We do not collect any further data or only on a voluntary basis. We use your data exclusively for newsletter dispatch/messaging.
If we send a newsletter via Brevo and you open it, a file contained in the newsletter automatically connects to Brevo's servers. In this way, the service learns that the newsletter has been opened and registers all clicks on the links it contains. In addition, Brevo collects technical information, such as the time of the retrieval, the IP address, browser type and operating system.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter/messaging at any time.
After you have unsubscribed, the data is deleted from the newsletter distribution list. Under certain circumstances, we may blacklist your e-mail address at the same time; this is necessary, for example, if we receive an objection to advertising from you. The storage then takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
Otherwise, we reserve the right to delete the data at any time after the purpose for which it was collected has ceased to exist or at our own discretion.
By entering your data in the subscriber list, you consent to data processing by Brevo. This is therefore carried out lawfully on the basis of Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent by unsubscribing from the newsletter or by sending us an informal message. For us, this means that we may no longer send you newsletters from this point on.
Service that provides access to a JavaScript library for use on this website
The OpenJS Foundation, 548 Market St, PMB 57274, San Francisco, California, USA
jQuery adheres to the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission (see https://openjsf.org/privacy)
We use the services of jQuery on our website. jQuery is a JavaScript library. It simplifies Javascript programming by providing an easy-to-use interface for many common tasks. With jQuery, users can make their websites faster and more interactive. When you visit our website, a direct connection is established between your browser and the jQuery servers. This is how jQuery learns that our website was accessed via your IP address.
jQuery's fonts ensure a consistent typeface on our websites. As a company, we have a legitimate interest in this. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
If you have consented to the data processing, we process your data exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time. From the time of revocation, we may no longer process your data.
When we conclude a contract with you, we require certain personal data from you. We collect, process and use this data only insofar as it is necessary to establish our legal relationship, to shape its content or to change it. If you can only use our services via our website or if the services are billed via the website, we also collect usage data insofar as this is necessary to enable you to use our offer or to bill the service used.
We store your data until our legal relationship ends, unless we are required by law to keep the data longer.
We store your data in order to fulfill the contract with you or to carry out pre-contractual measures. The basis of the data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR.
For the processing of the payment, we transmit your data to a payment service or the credit institution commissioned with the payment processing. We only pass on data that is absolutely necessary for the payment process. If we want to pass on data beyond this, we will obtain your consent.
We pass on your data in order to fulfill the contract we have concluded with you. The basis of the data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. If you have consented to the transfer of your data, the data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
To enable you to conveniently pay for your purchases on our website, we use the services of payment services, i.e. external companies that process the payments for us. You can see which ones these are specifically from the list at the end of this section.
For the payment process, you must provide certain personal data, e.g. your name, your account details or credit card number. We pass this data on to the respective payment service. For the transaction itself, the respective contract and data protection provisions of the respective services apply.
We pass on your data in order to fulfill the contract we have concluded with you. The basis of the data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. In addition, we have a legitimate interest in processing purchases as quickly, conveniently and securely as possible. In this respect, the legal basis is also Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the transfer of your data, the data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
Online payment service
PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full
PayPal adheres to the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission (see https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/pocpsa-full).
As a company we are in contact with many people: Customers, business partners, service providers, etc. In doing so, we also use so-called online conferencing tools for the exchange, in addition to other means of communication. Information relevant to data protection law on the provider(s) of the tools we use can be found at the end of this section. If you communicate with us via such a tool, not only we, but in particular the provider of the respective tool, process your personal data.
Online conference tools collect and store various personal data in order to enable participation in an online conference and its smooth execution. In addition to registration, conference and technical data, this also concerns certain communication content.
For details on data processing, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective conferencing tool provider.
As your communication partner, we delete your data on our systems as soon as one of the following occurs:
This does not apply only if we are required by law to retain the data.
Cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them.
Conference tool providers also store your data for their own purposes. Please ask the providers directly what this means for the duration of the storage of your data.
If we are already contractually connected or if you would like to conclude a contract with us, we use conference tools to fulfill the contract or to inform you about our services or products. In this respect, the data processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. Otherwise, the use of conferencing tools serves the purpose of simple and quick communication, without which we would not be able to run our business efficiently. We therefore also have a legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Another legal basis may be your consent. Relevant in this case is Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. This basis ceases to apply for the future if you revoke your consent.

By social media, we mean the social networks on which we have created publicly accessible profiles. You can read below which social networks these are specifically.
The respective operating companies of the social networks. You can find the individual operators below under the respective networks.
The operators of social networks are generally able to collect and evaluate comprehensive data about the behavior of visitors and users of the network. It is not possible for us to track all processing operations on the social networks we use, which is why further processing operations not listed here may be carried out by the operators of the social networks. You can find more information on this in the terms of use and privacy statements of the respective social networks.
The processing of your data can be triggered by you visiting the website of the social network or our profile page there. Even if you visit a website that uses certain content of the network, e.g. like or share buttons, data may already be transmitted to the operators of the social network. If you yourself are a user of the social network and logged into your user account, your visit to our profile page can be assigned to your account by the operator of the social network. Even if you yourself have not registered a user account or are not logged in, the operator of the network may still collect your personal data, e.g. by recording your IP address or setting cookies. With this data, the operators can create user profiles adapted to your behavior and interests and show you interest-based advertising inside and outside the network. If you are a registered user of the network, the interest-based advertising may also be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
Our profiles in the social networks are intended to ensure the broadest possible presence of our company on the Internet. As a company, we have a legitimate interest in this. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
The data processing operations and analyses carried out by the operators of the social networks themselves may be based on other legal grounds. These must be stated by the operators of the social networks.
If you visit one of our profiles on the social networks, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the respective network for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights both against us and against the operator of the respective network.
Despite the joint responsibility with the operators of the social networks, however, our influence on the data processing operations of the respective operator is limited and is primarily based on the operator's specifications.
If we collect data via our profiles in the social networks, these are deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing them no longer applies, you request us to delete them or you revoke your consent to storage. Stored cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
We have no influence on how long the operators of the social networks store your data, which the operators collect for their own purposes. You can obtain information on this directly from the operator of the respective social network, e.g. in the respective privacy policy.
