General

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:

General information

SSL or TLS encryption

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://.

Encrypted payment transactions

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.

How long do we store your data?

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.

Data transfer to the USA

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.

Your rights

Objection to data processing

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.

Other rights

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

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.

Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority

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.

Right to data portability

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.

Right to information, deletion, and correction of data

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.

Right to restriction of processing

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:

Hosting and Content Delivery Networks (CDN)

External hosting

Our website is hosted on a server of the following Internet service provider (hoster):

Vercel Inc.
440 N Barranca Ave #4133
Covina, CA 91723,USA


How do we process your data?

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.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

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.

Data collection on this website

Use of cookies

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).

How do we process your data?

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.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

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.

Standard processing

Remarketing means that we analyze your behavior on our website in order to assign you to a specific advertising target group and subsequently display suitable advertising messages to you when you visit other websites. In addition, we link the advertising target groups with cross-device functions of Google. This allows us to display interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been customized to you based on your usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., your cell phone) on another device (e.g., a tablet or PC).

Disagree with personalized advertising

You can adjust the advertising settings in your Google account. To do so, click on the following link and log in: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated. Outside of your Google account, you can object to personalized advertising using the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/ (the setting then only applies to the device and browser currently being used).

https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/

On what legal basis do we transfer your data to the USA?

On the basis of the European Commission's adequacy decision and the company's corresponding certification.

How can you prevent data processing?

If you have a Facebook account: Deactivate the "Custom Audiences" remarketing function in the Ad Settings section (https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen).

If you do not have a Facebook account: Disable usage-based advertising from Facebook on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

How do we process your data?

We use the META Pixel on our website. The analytics tool helps us learn more about the behavior of visitors to our website after they click on one of our ads on Facebook. This allows us to measure how effective our Facebook ads are and align future advertising efforts with the insights we gain. The data that Facebook collects via the pixel is anonymous to us as the operator of this website. So we cannot identify you as a visitor. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook. Thus, Facebook establishes a connection to your Facebook account via the pixel and, in addition, uses the data to place advertisements itself within and outside the network (cf. Facebook Data Use Policy). In the course of storage and processing, Facebook also transmits the data to the USA and other third countries.

If you have a Facebook account, you can deactivate the "Custom Audiences" remarketing function in this account in the Advertising Settings section at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen.

If you do not have a Facebook account, it is possible to deactivate usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures on social networks. 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 Facebook, only Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de

On what legal basis do we transfer your data to the USA?

On the basis of the European Commission's adequacy decision and the company's corresponding certification.

How do we process your data?

We use Google Ads Rermarkeintg. Remarketing is an online marketing feature that displays ads to users who have already interacted with a website or online store. Google Remarketing uses data from the Google Ads platform and Google Ads tracking to target advertising campaigns to those users who have already shown interest in a particular product or service. Google's advertising program enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when visitors to our website enter certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, we can place targeted advertisements based on the user data available at Google (e.g. location data and interests) (target group targeting). We evaluate the collected data quantitatively by analyzing, for example, which search terms led to the playout of our ads and how many ads resulted in corresponding clicks.

You can adjust the advertising settings in your Google account. To do this, click on the following link and log in: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/

On what legal basis do we process your data?

As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of 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, for example, consented to the storage of cookies or otherwise consented to data processing by Google, the legal basis is exclusively Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

How can you prevent data processing?

Information on this can be found on the following pages:

https://www.tiktok.com/legal/tiktok-website-cookies-policy?lang=de

https://support.tiktok.com/de

How do we process your data?

We use the TikTok Pixel on our website. The analysis tool helps us to learn more about the behavior of visitors on our account and our website. This tool allows us to measure how effective our advertising measures are and to align future advertising measures with the insights we have gained. On the one hand, we can designate you as a visitor to our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "TikTok Ads"). Accordingly, we use the TikTok pixel to display the TikTok ads placed by us only to those TikTok users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited), which we transmit to TikTok (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the TikTok pixel, we therefore want to ensure that our TikTok ads correspond exclusively to the interests of the users. On the other hand, with the help of the TikTok pixel, we can also track whether users were really redirected to our website after clicking on a TikTok ad (so-called "conversion").

On what legal basis do we process your data?

As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures on social networks. 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 TikTok, only Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

We use the Facebook Conversion API on our website. The analytics tool helps us learn more about the behavior of visitors to our website after they click on one of our ads on Facebook. This allows us to measure how effective our Facebook ads are and align future advertising efforts with the insights we gain. The Facebook Conversion API processes personal data such as user IDs, cookies, device IDs, and other identifying information collected by Facebook and third-party vendors. Using this data allows us to better understand our audience and create targeted advertising campaigns. However, the data is also stored and processed by Facebook. Thus, Facebook establishes a connection to your Facebook account and, in addition, uses the data to serve advertisements itself within and outside the network (see Facebook Data Use Policy). During storage and processing, Facebook also transmits the data to the USA and other third countries.

If you have a Facebook account: Disable usage-based advertising in the Ads Settings section (https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen).

It allows businesses to define their own target audience based on information they have about their customers or potential customers, such as email addresses, phone numbers, Facebook IDs or device IDs. Using Facebook Custom Audiences allows us to create more targeted and relevant advertising campaigns by targeting an audience we already know. Using this data allows us to better understand our audience and create targeted ad campaigns. However, the data is also stored and processed by Facebook. Thus, Facebook establishes a connection to your Facebook account and, in addition, uses the data to place advertisements itself within and outside the network (cf. Facebook Data Use Policy).

Newsletter and postal advertising

Mailchimp

What is Mailchimp?

Service for sending newsletters and analyzing recipient behavior.

Who processes your data?

Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

Where can you find more information about data protection at Mailchimp?

https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy und https://mailchimp.com/de/gdpr/

On what legal basis do we transfer your data to the USA?

Mailchimp has so-called standard contractual clauses that permit data transfer to the USA: https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/#9._Jurisdiction-Specific_Terms

How do we process your data?

We use Mailchimp for our newsletter mailing. The service manages the data of newsletter subscribers for us, sends our newsletter and analyzes our newsletter campaigns.

If you would like to receive our newsletter, we need your email address. We will also use a confirmation email (double opt-in procedure) to check whether you are really the owner of this email address. We do not collect any further data or only on a voluntary basis. We use your data exclusively for sending the newsletter. They are stored on a Mailchimp server in the USA.

If we send a newsletter via Mailchimp and you open it, a file contained in the newsletter automatically connects to Mailchimp'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, Mailchimp collects technical information, such as the time of the retrieval, the IP address, browser type and operating system.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time.

How long do we store your data?

After you have unsubscribed, the data is deleted from the newsletter distribution list. In some circumstances, we blacklist your e-mail address at the same time; this is necessary, for example, if we have received an objection to advertising from you. In this case, the legal basis for the storage is 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.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

By entering your data in the subscriber list, you consent to data processing by Mailchimp. This is therefore carried out lawfully on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. 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.

Plugins and tools

YouTube (with extended data protection)

What is YouTube?

Video plattform

Who processes your data?

Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

Where can you find more information about data protection at YouTube?

How do we process your data?

You can watch YouTube videos on our website. In doing so, Google, as the provider of YouTube, collects and stores certain information about you. However, since we use YouTube in extended data protection mode, this only happens when you start a video. Specifically, the following happens in this case:

  1. Google's servers are told which of our pages were visited from your device. If you are logged into your YouTube account while surfing, Google can assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. If you do not want this, you must log out of your YouTube account before you continue surfing the Internet.
  2. Google receives information about visitors to our website via cookies, device fingerprinting or similar recognition technologies. On this basis, the company then compiles video statistics, makes its application more attractive to users and prevents fraud attempts.
  3. If necessary, your data may also be processed beyond this. However, details are beyond our knowledge. Also, we can not influence the processing.

Even if you do not start a YouTube video on our website, Google establishes a connection to its DoubleClick network and possibly also to other partners. The extended data protection mode therefore does not mean that Google does not process any data from you at all when you visit our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

By integrating YouTube videos, we want to make our website and our services and offers more appealing. This is our legitimate interest as a company and therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.

If you have consented to 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.

On our website, you can watch Vimeo videos. As soon as you call up a page in which we have embedded a Vimeo video, this is communicated to the servers of Vimeo. In the process, Vimeo also learns your IP address. However, since we have made appropriate settings in the Vimeo plugin, Vimeo will neither leave cookies on your device nor track your browsing behavior.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

By integrating Vimeo videos, we want to make our website more appealing. This is our legitimate interest as a company and therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.

If you have consented to 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.

Data processing on social media

What is Social Media?

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.

Who processes your data?

The respective operating companies of the social networks. You can find the individual operators below under the respective networks.

How is your data processed?

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.

On what legal basis is your data processed?

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.

Who is responsible for the processing of your data and how can you assert your rights?

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.

How long is your data stored?

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.
