The contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation may not be used by third parties to send unsolicited information material and advertising. We reserve the right to take legal action if unsolicited advertising information (such as spam mails) is sent.

Since we are not obliged to appoint a company data protection officer pursuant to Art. 37 DSGVO, we do not have a specific person for data protection whose contact data could be published here. Nevertheless, we fulfil all obligations in connection with data processing with the utmost professional care.

Legal basis of the processing

If the legal basis is not mentioned in the privacy statement, the following applies:

  • The legal basis for obtaining consents for a specific purpose of processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 B. a DSGVO and Art. 7 DSGVO
  • The following applies to the processing for the provision of our services and the implementation of contractual measures as well as the processing of enquiries Art. 6 Para. 1 B. b DSGVO as legal basis
  • The legal basis for the processing for the fulfilment of our legal obligations, which make the processing of personal data necessary, such as the fulfilment of tax obligations, is as follows Art. 6 Para. 1 B. c DSGVO
  • Where vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person require the processing of personal data, the following shall apply Art. 6 Para. 1 B. d DSGVO as legal basis
  • Processing to safeguard our legitimate interests, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not prevail, is regulated on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 B. f DSGVO Processing operations of this kind are permitted, in particular, as they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, the European legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the data processor (recital Art. 47 Para. 2 DSGVO)

Purpose of processing

  • Provision of the online offer, its functions and contents
  • Answering contact requests and communicating with affected persons
  • For the implementation of safety measures for affected persons: Protection against misuse, spam
  • Reach measurement and marketing

Safety precautions

We have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure that the processed personal data of data subjects are protected as completely as possible.

The measures are taken taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the type, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the different probability of occurrence and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in accordance with Art. 32 DSGVO.

All persons who have access to personal data under our supervision are informed about the correct handling of data and instructed on the basis of the internal documentation on the protection of personal data; they process personal information on the basis of the DSGVO. We regularly monitor data protection legislation and adjust our security measures accordingly. Your personal data is processed on PCs and notebooks which are password protected and located in lockable rooms, access by third parties to these areas is restricted. All computers and laptops are only operated with legal and approved software that offers protection against viruses, spyware and hacker attacks. All pages and apps on which personal data is stored are password protected and encrypted. Documents in printed form are destroyed by a document shredder, electronic documents and data are permanently and irrevocably removed from the hard disk of the server computer.

In order to be able to offer our online service without restriction and on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure provision of this online service in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 B. f DSGVO in conjunction with Art. 28 DSGVO 

(conclusion of an order processing contract), we use cloud hosting from an external provider. A contract has been concluded with this provider. Before the contract was concluded, the reputation, specialisation and location of the provider, reliability, potential conflicts of interest, risk of misuse of stored information, exact localisation of servers, physical and electronic security of servers and computer centre were checked.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can always be subject to security gaps, which is why complete protection of data against access by third parties cannot always be guaranteed.

Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

They will not be passed on to third parties. We do not link this data with other data. The data will also be anonymized or deleted regularly within one week after a statistical evaluation.

Deletion of data and duration of storage

Unless otherwise stated in our Privacy Policy, we will store personal information until it is no longer needed to provide our services and products, or until the account of the registered person is deleted, whichever occurs first. This is a case-by-case determination and depends on such things as the nature of the data, why it is collected and processed, relevant legal retention periods or operational storage needs.

Transfers to third countries
