Privacy Policy

Introduction and Overview
We have written this privacy statement (version 04.05.2023-312493428) in order to explain to you, in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and applicable national laws, what personal data (data for short) we as the controller - and the processors (e.g. providers) engaged by us - process, will process in the future and what lawful options you have. The terms used are to be understood as gender-neutral.
In short: We inform you comprehensively about data that we process about you.

Data protection statements usually sound very technical and use legal terminology. This privacy statement, on the other hand, is intended to describe the most important things to you as simply and transparently as possible. As far as it is conducive to transparency, technical terms are explained in a reader-friendly manner, links to further information are provided and graphics are used. In this way, we inform you in clear and simple language that we only process personal data in the course of our business activities if there is a corresponding legal basis. This is certainly not possible by providing the most concise, unclear and legalistic explanations possible, as is often standard practice on the Internet when it comes to data protection. I hope you find the following explanations interesting and informative and perhaps there is one or two pieces of information you did not know.
If you still have questions, we would like to ask you to contact the responsible office mentioned below or in the imprint, to follow the links provided and to look at further information on third party sites. Our contact details can of course also be found in the imprint.

Scope of application
This data protection declaration applies to all personal data processed by us in the company and to all personal data processed by companies commissioned by us (order processors). By personal data, we mean information within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 1 DSGVO, such as a person's name, e-mail address and postal address. The processing of personal data ensures that we can offer and invoice our services and products, whether online or offline. The scope of this privacy policy includes:

all online presences (websites, online shops) that we operate

social media sites and email communications

mobile apps for smartphones and other devices

In short, the data protection declaration applies to all areas in which personal data is processed in the company via the aforementioned channels in a structured manner. If we enter into legal relationships with you outside of these channels, we will inform you separately where applicable.

Legal basis
In the following privacy statement, we provide you with transparent information on the legal principles and regulations, i.e. the legal bases of the General Data Protection Regulation, which enable us to process personal data.
As far as EU law is concerned, we refer to REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27 April 2016, which you can of course read online on EUR-Lex, the gateway to EU law, at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/ALL/?uri=celex%3A32016R0679.

We only process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:
 

  1. Consent (Article 6(1)(a) DSGVO): You have given us your consent to process data for a specific purpose. An example would be the storage of your entered data of a contact form.

  2. Contract (Article 6(1)(b) DSGVO): In order to fulfil a contract or pre-contractual obligations with you, we process your data. For example, if we conclude a sales contract with you, we need personal information in advance.

  3. Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) DSGVO): If we are subject to a legal obligation, we process your data. For example, we are legally obliged to keep invoices for accounting purposes. These usually contain personal data.

  4. Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) DSGVO): In the case of legitimate interests that do not restrict your fundamental rights, we reserve the right to process personal data. For example, we need to process certain data in order to operate our website in a secure and economically efficient manner. This processing is therefore a legitimate interest.

  5. Other conditions such as the performance of recording in the public interest and the exercise of official authority as well as the protection of vital interests do not usually arise for us. If such a legal basis should be relevant, it will be indicated at the appropriate place.

  6. In addition to the EU Regulation, national laws also apply:

  7. In Austria, this is the Federal Act on the Protection of Individuals with regard to the Processing of Personal Data (Data Protection Act), or DSG for short.

  8. In Germany, the Federal Data Protection Act, or BDSG for short, applies.

  9. If other regional or national laws apply, we will inform you about them in the following sections.

  10. Contact details of the responsible person
    If you have any questions about data protection or the processing of personal data, you will find the contact details of the responsible person or office below:
    Academic Ghost
    Joshua Fritz
    Steigstraße 20, 66849 Landstuhl, Germany

  11. E-mail: info@academicghost.com
    Telephone: +4915736383090
    Imprint: https://www.academicghost.com/impressum/

  12. Storage period
    It is our general policy to store personal data only for as long as is absolutely necessary for the provision of our services and products. This means that we delete personal data as soon as the reason for processing the data no longer exists. In some cases, we are legally obliged to store certain data even after the original purpose has ceased to exist, for example for accounting purposes.

  13. Should you wish your data to be deleted or revoke your consent to data processing, the data will be deleted as soon as possible and insofar as there is no obligation to store it.

  14. We will inform you about the specific duration of the respective data processing below, provided we have further information on this.

  15. Rights according to the General Data Protection Regulation
    Pursuant to Articles 13, 14 DSGVO, we inform you about the following rights you are entitled to in order to ensure fair and transparent processing of data:

  16. According to Article 15 DSGVO, you have the right to information about whether we process data about you. If this is the case, you have the right to receive a copy of the data and to know the following information:

  17. the purpose for which we are processing it;

  18. the categories, i.e. types, of data being processed;

  19. who receives this data and, if the data is transferred to third countries, how security can be guaranteed;

  20. how long the data will be stored;

  21. the existence of the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing and the right to object to processing;

  22. that you can lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (links to these authorities can be found below);

  23. The origin of the data if we have not collected it from you;

  24. whether profiling is carried out, i.e. whether data is automatically evaluated to arrive at a personal profile of you.
     

  • You have a right to rectification of data under Article 16 of the GDPR, which means that we must rectify data if you find errors.

  • You have the right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") under Article 17 of the GDPR, which specifically means that you can ask for your data to be deleted.

  • According to Article 18 of the GDPR, you have the right to restriction of processing, which means that we may only store the data but not use it any further.

  • According to Article 20 of the GDPR, you have the right to data portability, which means that we will provide you with your data in a standard format upon request.

  • You have a right to object under Article 21 of the GDPR, which entails a change in processing after enforcement.

  • If the processing of your data is based on Article 6(1)(e) (public interest, exercise of official authority) or Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest), you may object to the processing. We will then check as soon as possible whether we can legally comply with this objection.

  • If data is used to carry out direct advertising, you can object to this type of data processing at any time. We may then no longer use your data for direct marketing.

  • If data is used for profiling, you can object to this type of data processing at any time. We may no longer use your data for profiling thereafter.

  • You may have the right under Article 22 of the GDPR not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (for example profiling).

  • You have the right to complain under Article 77 of the GDPR. This means that you can complain to the data protection authority at any time if you believe that the data processing of personal data violates the GDPR.

In short: You have rights - do not hesitate to contact the responsible body listed above with us!

If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection rights have been violated in any other way, you can complain to the supervisory authority. For Austria, this is the data protection authority, whose website can be found at https://www.dsb.gv.at/. In Germany, there is a data protection commissioner for each federal state. For more information, you can contact the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI). The following local data protection authority is responsible for our company:

Rhineland-Palatinate Data Protection Authority
State Commissioner for Data Protection: Prof. Dr. Dieter Kugelmann
Address: Hintere Bleiche 34, 55116 Mainz, Germany
Telephone number: 061 31/208 22 26
E-mail address: poststelle@datenschutz.rlp.de
Website: https://www.datenschutz.rlp.de/de/startseite/

Data transfer to third countries
We only transfer or process data to countries outside the EU (third countries) if you consent to this processing, if this is required by law or contractually necessary and in any case only to the extent that this is generally permitted. Your consent is in most cases the most important reason for us to have data processed in third countries. Processing personal data in third countries such as the USA, where many software vendors offer services and have their server locations, may mean that personal data is processed and stored in unexpected ways.

We explicitly point out that according to the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfers to the USA. Data processing by US services (such as Google Analytics) may result in data not being processed and stored anonymously. Furthermore, US government authorities may be able to access individual data. In addition, it is possible that collected data may be linked to data from other services of the same provider, provided you have a corresponding user account. Where possible, we try to use server locations within the EU if this is offered.

We will provide you with more detailed information about data transfers to third countries, where applicable, at the appropriate points in this privacy policy.

Security of data processing
To protect personal data, we have implemented both technical and organisational measures. Where possible, we encrypt or pseudonymise personal data. In this way, we make it as difficult as possible, within the scope of our possibilities, for third parties to infer personal information from our data.

Article 25 of the GDPR refers to "data protection by technical design and by data protection-friendly default settings" and thus means that both software (e.g. forms) and hardware (e.g. access to the server room) are always designed with security in mind and that appropriate measures are taken. In the following, we will go into more detail on specific measures, if necessary.
 

TLS encryption with https
TLS, encryption and https sound very technical and they are. We use HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure stands for "secure hypertext transfer protocol") to transfer data tap-proof on the internet.
This means that the complete transmission of all data from your browser to our web server is secured - no one can "listen in".

In this way, we have introduced an additional layer of security and fulfil data protection by design of technology (Article 25(1) DSGVO). By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission on the Internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data.
You can recognise the use of this data transmission protection by the small lock symbol at the top left of the browser, to the left of the internet address (e.g. beispielseite.de) and the use of the https scheme (instead of http) as part of our internet address.
If you would like to know more about encryption, we recommend a Google search for "Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure wiki" to find good links to further information.

Communication
Communication summary
👥 Affected parties: anyone who communicates with us by phone, email or online form.
📓 Data processed: e.g. telephone number, name, email address, form data entered. You can find more details on this in the respective contact type used.
🤝 Purpose: processing of communication with customers, business partners, etc.
📅 Storage period: Duration of the business case and legal requirements.
⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (contract), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (legitimate interests).

When you contact us and communicate by telephone, e-mail or online form, personal data may be processed.

The data is processed for the handling and processing of your question and the related business transaction. The data is stored for as long as it is required by law.

Persons concerned
All those who seek contact with us via the communication channels provided by us are affected by the aforementioned processes.

Telephone
When you call us, the call data is stored pseudonymously on the respective end device and with the telecommunications provider used. In addition, data such as name and telephone number may subsequently be sent by e-mail and stored for the purpose of responding to enquiries. The data is deleted as soon as the business case has been completed and legal requirements permit.

 

E-mail
If you communicate with us by e-mail, data may be stored on the respective end device (computer, laptop, smartphone,...) and data is stored on the e-mail server. The data is deleted as soon as the business case has been completed and legal requirements permit.

Online forms
If you communicate with us using online forms, data is stored on our web server and may be forwarded to an e-mail address of ours. The data will be deleted as soon as the business transaction has been completed and legal requirements permit.

Legal basis
The processing of data is based on the following legal grounds:

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (consent): You give us your consent to store your data and to further use it for purposes related to the business case;

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (contract): There is a need for the performance of a contract with you or a processor such as the telephone provider, or we need to process the data for pre-contractual activities such as preparing a quotation;

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (Legitimate Interests): We want to conduct customer enquiries and business communications in a professional manner. For this purpose, certain technical facilities such as e-mail programmes, exchange servers and mobile phone operators are necessary in order to be able to operate the communication efficiently.

Order processing agreement (AVV)
In this section, we would like to explain what a contract processing agreement is and why it is needed. Because the word "order processing contract" is quite a mouthful, we will also use the acronym AVV more often here in the text.

Like most companies, we do not work alone, but also use the services of other companies or individuals ourselves.  The involvement of different companies or service providers may mean that we pass on personal data for processing.

These partners then act as processors with whom we conclude a contract, the so-called order processing agreement (AVV). The most important thing for you to know is that the processing of your personal data is carried out exclusively according to our instructions and must be regulated by the GCU.

Who are processors?
As a company and website owner, we are responsible for all the data we process from you. In addition to data controllers, there may also be so-called processors. This includes any company or person who processes personal data on our behalf. More precisely and according to the GDPR definition: any natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on our behalf is considered a processor. Processors can therefore be service providers such as hosting or cloud providers, payment or newsletter providers or large companies such as Google or Microsoft.

For a better understanding of the terminology, here is an overview of the three roles in the GDPR:

Data subject (you as a customer or interested party) → controller (we as a company and client) → processor (service provider such as a web hoster or cloud provider).

Content of a processing contract
As mentioned above, we have concluded an AVV with our partners who act as processors. This states first and foremost that the processor will process the data to be processed exclusively in accordance with the GDPR. The contract must be concluded in writing; however, in this context, the electronic conclusion of the contract is also considered to be "in writing". Only on the basis of the contract will the processing of personal data take place. The contract must contain the following:

Binding us as the controller

Obligations and rights of the data controller

Categories of data subjects

Nature of the personal data

Nature and purpose of the data processing

Subject and duration of data processing

Place of performance of the data processing

Furthermore, the contract contains all obligations of the processor. The most important obligations are:

to ensure data security measures

to take possible technical and organisational measures to protect the rights of the data subject

to keep a data processing register

cooperate with the data protection supervisory authority at its request

carry out a risk analysis in relation to the personal data received.

Sub-processors may only be engaged with the written consent of the data controller.

Cookies
Cookies summary
👥 Affected parties: visitors to the website.
🤝 Purpose: depends on the respective cookie. More details can be found below or from the manufacturer of the software that sets the cookie.
📓 Data processed: Depending on the cookie used. More details can be found below or from the manufacturer of the software that sets the cookie.
Storage period: depending on the cookie, can vary from hours to years.
⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f DSGVO (legitimate interests).

What are cookies?
Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data.
In the following, we explain what cookies are and why they are used so that you can better understand the following privacy policy.

Whenever you browse the internet, you use a browser. Popular browsers include Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge. Most websites store small text files in your browser. These files are called cookies.

One thing cannot be denied: Cookies are really useful little helpers. Almost all websites use cookies. More precisely, they are HTTP cookies, as there are also other cookies for other applications. HTTP cookies are small files that are stored on your computer by our website. These cookie files are automatically placed in the cookie folder, effectively the "brain" of your browser. A cookie consists of a name and a value. When defining a cookie, one or more attributes must also be specified.

Cookies store certain user data about you, such as language or personal page settings. When you call up our site again, your browser transmits the "user-related" information back to our site.

Thanks to cookies, our website knows who you are and offers you the setting you are used to. In some browsers, each cookie has its own file, in others, such as Firefox, all cookies are stored in a single file.

The following graphic shows a possible interaction between a web browser such as Chrome and the web server. Here, the web browser requests a website and receives a cookie back from the server, which the browser uses again as soon as another page is requested.

 

There are both first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created directly by our site, third-party cookies are created by partner websites (e.g. Google Analytics). Each cookie is to be evaluated individually, as each cookie stores different data. The expiry time of a cookie also varies from a few minutes to a few years. Cookies are not software programmes and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other "pests". Cookies also cannot access information on your PC.

For example, cookie data may look like this

Name: _ga
Wert: GA1.2.1326744211.152312493428-9

Intended use: Differentiation of website visitors.
Expiry date: after 2 years

A browser should be able to support these minimum sizes:

At least 4096 bytes per cookie

At least 50 cookies per domain

At least 3000 cookies in total

What types of cookies are there?
The question of which cookies we use in particular depends on the services used and is clarified in the following sections of the privacy policy. At this point we would like to briefly discuss the different types of HTTP cookies.

We can distinguish between 4 types of cookies:

Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary to ensure basic functions of the website. For example, these cookies are needed when a user places a product in the shopping basket, then continues surfing on other pages and only later goes to the checkout. These cookies do not delete the shopping cart even if the user closes his browser window.

Purpose cookies
These cookies collect information about user behaviour and whether the user receives any error messages. In addition, these cookies are also used to measure the loading time and the behaviour of the website with different browsers.

Goal-oriented cookies
These cookies provide a better user experience. For example, locations entered, font sizes or form data are saved.

Advertising cookies
These cookies are also called targeting cookies. They are used to provide the user with individually adapted advertising. This can be very practical, but also very annoying.

Usually, when you visit a website for the first time, you are asked which of these types of cookies you would like to allow. And of course, this decision is also stored in a cookie.

If you want to know more about cookies and are not afraid of technical documentation, we recommend https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6265, the Request for Comments of the Internet Engineering T

ask Force (IETF) namens “HTTP State Management Mechanism”.

Zweck der Verarbeitung über Cookies

The purpose ultimately depends on the cookie in question. You can find more details below or from the manufacturer of the software that sets the cookie.

What data is processed?
Cookies are small helpers for many different tasks. Unfortunately, it is not possible to generalise about what data is stored in cookies, but we will inform you about the data processed or stored in the following privacy policy.

Storage duration of cookies
The storage period depends on the respective cookie and is specified further below. Some cookies are deleted after less than an hour, others can remain stored on a computer for several years.

You can also influence the storage period yourself. You can delete all cookies manually at any time via your browser (see also "Right to object" below). Furthermore, cookies that are based on consent will be deleted at the latest after revocation of your consent, whereby the legality of the storage remains unaffected until then.

Right of objection - how can I delete cookies?
You decide how and whether you want to use cookies. Regardless of which service or website the cookies come from, you always have the option of deleting, deactivating or only partially allowing cookies. For example, you can block third-party cookies but allow all other cookies.

If you want to find out which cookies have been stored in your browser, if you want to change or delete cookie settings, you can find this in your browser settings:

Chrome: Delete, activate and manage cookies in Chrome.

Safari: Manage cookies and website data with Safari

Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have placed on your computer

Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies

Microsoft Edge: Delete and manage cookies

If you generally do not want cookies, you can set up your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie is to be set. In this way, you can decide for each individual cookie whether you allow the cookie or not. The procedure varies depending on the browser. The best way is to search for the instructions in Google with the search term "Delete Cookies Chrome" or "Deactivate Cookies Chrome" in the case of a Chrome browser.

Legal basis
The so-called "Cookie Guidelines" have been in place since 2009. These state that the storage of cookies requires your consent (Article 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). Within the EU countries, however, there are still very different reactions to these directives. In Austria, however, this directive was implemented in § 96 para. 3 of the Telecommunications Act (TKG). In Germany, the Cookie Directive has not been implemented as national law. Instead, this directive was largely implemented in § 15 para.3 of the Telemedia Act (TMG).

For cookies that are absolutely necessary, even if there is no consent, there are legitimate interests (Article 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO), which in most cases are of an economic nature. We want to provide visitors to the website with a pleasant user experience and for this purpose certain cookies are often absolutely necessary.

Where cookies are used that are not strictly necessary, this is only done with your consent. The legal basis in this respect is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

In the following sections, you will be informed in more detail about the use of cookies, insofar as the software used uses cookies.

Application data
Application data summary
👥 Data subjects: Users who apply for a job with us.
🤝 Purpose: processing of an application procedure
📓 Data processed: Name, address, contact details, email address, telephone number, proof of qualifications (certificates), possibly special category data.
Duration of storage: if the application is successful, until the end of the employment relationship. Otherwise, the data will be deleted after the application process or stored for a certain period with your consent.
⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (consent), legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (contract), Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a. DSGVO (processing of special categories)

What is application data?
You can apply to us by e-mail, online form or via a recruiting tool for a job in our company. All data that we receive and process from you as part of an application counts as application data. In doing so, you always disclose personal data such as your name, date of birth, address and telephone number.

Why do we process application data?
We process your data so that we can run a proper selection process in relation to the advertised vacancy. In addition, we also like to keep your application documents in our application archive. It often happens that we are not able to work with you for the advertised position for a variety of reasons, but we are impressed by you and your application and can very well imagine working with you in the future. Provided you give us your consent, we will archive your documents so that we can easily contact you for future assignments in our company.

We guarantee that we will handle your data with particular care and only ever process your data within the legal framework. Even within our company, your data will only be passed on to people who are directly involved with your application. In short: Your data is in safe hands with us!
 

What data is processed?
If you apply to us by e-mail, for example, we will of course also receive personal data, as mentioned above. Even the e-mail address counts as personal data. However, in the course of an application procedure, we only process data that is relevant for our decision as to whether or not we want to welcome you to our team.

Exactly which data is processed depends primarily on the job advertisement. Mostly, however, it is a matter of name, date of birth, contact details and proof of qualifications. If you submit the application via an online form, the data will be passed on to us in encrypted form. If you send us the application by e-mail, this encryption does not take place. We can therefore not assume any responsibility for the way in which the data is transmitted. However, once the data is on our servers, we are responsible for the lawful handling of your data.

During an application process, in addition to the above-mentioned data, information about your health or ethnic origin may also be requested so that we and you can exercise the rights relating to labour law, social security and social protection and, at the same time, comply with the corresponding obligations. These data are special category data.

Here is a list of possible data we may receive from you and process:

Name

Contact address

E-mail address

Telephone number

Date of birth

Information provided in cover letter and curriculum vitae

Proof of qualifications (e.g.) certificates

Special category data (e.g. ethnic origin, health data, religious beliefs)

Usage data (websites visited, access data, etc.)

Metadata (IP address, device information)

How long is the data stored?
If we accept you as a team member in our company, your data will be further processed for the purpose of the employment relationship and kept with us at least until the employment relationship ends. All application documents are then placed in your employee file.

If we do not offer you the job, you reject our offer or withdraw your application, we may keep your data for up to 6 months after the end of the application process due to legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). After that, both your electronic data and all data from physical application documents will be completely deleted or destroyed. We retain your data, for example, so that we can still answer any follow-up questions or so that we can provide evidence of the application in the event of a legal dispute. If a legal dispute arises and we may still need the data after the 6 months have expired, we will only delete the data when there is no longer any reason to retain it. If there are legal retention obligations to fulfil, we must generally store the data for longer than 6 months.

Furthermore, we may also store your data for longer if you have given us special consent to do so. We do this, for example, if we can well imagine working with you in the future. Then it is helpful to have your data archived so that we can contact you without any problems. In this case, the data will be added to our applicant pool. Of course, you can revoke your consent to the longer storage of your data at any time. If you do not revoke your consent and do not give new consent, your data will be deleted after 2 years at the latest.
 

Legal basis
The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (contract or pre-contractual measures), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (legitimate interests) and Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a. DSGVO (processing of special categories).

If we include you in our applicant tool, this is done on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). We would like to point out that your consent to our application pool is voluntary, has no influence on the application process and you have the option to revoke your consent at any time. The lawfulness of the processing up to the time of the revocation remains unaffected.

In the case of the protection of vital interests, the data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. c. DSGVO. For the purposes of health care, occupational medicine, medical diagnosis, health or social care or treatment, or for the management of health or social care systems and services, the processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h. DSGVO. If you voluntarily provide special category data, the processing is based on Art. 9 (2) lit. a. DSGVO.

Customer data
Customer data summary
Data subjects: Customers or business and contractual partners.
Purpose: Provision of the contractually or pre-contractually agreed services including associated communication
📓 Data processed: Name, address, contact data, email address, telephone number, payment information (such as invoices and bank data), contract data (such as term and subject of the contract), IP address, order data.
📅 Storage period: the data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the provision of our business purposes and there is no legal obligation to retain it.
⚖️ Legal basis: Legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO), contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO).

What is customer data?
In order to be able to offer our services and contractual performance, we also process data of our customers and business partners. This data always includes personal data. Customer data is all information that is processed on the basis of a contractual or pre-contractual cooperation in order to be able to provide the services offered. Customer data is therefore all collected information that we collect and process about our customers.

Why do we process customer data?
There are many reasons why we collect and process customer data. The most important is that we simply need various data to provide our services. Sometimes your email address is enough, but if you purchase a product or service, for example, we also need data such as name, address, bank details or contract details. We also use the data for marketing and sales optimisation so that we can improve our overall service to our customers. Another important point is our customer service, which is always very important to us. We want you to be able to come to us at any time with questions about our offers, and for this we need at least your e-mail address.

What data is processed?
The exact data that is stored can only be described here on the basis of categories. This always depends on the services you receive from us. In some cases, you only give us your e-mail address so that we can contact you or answer your questions, for example. In other cases, you purchase a product or service from us and for this we need much more information, such as your contact details, payment details and contract details.

Here is a list of possible data we may receive and process from you:

Name

Contact address

Email address

Telephone number

Date of birth

Payment data (invoices, bank data, payment history etc.)

Contract data (duration, content)

Usage data (websites visited, access data ect.)

Metadata (IP address, device information)
 

How long is the data stored?
As soon as we no longer need the customer data to fulfil our contractual obligations and our purposes and the data is also no longer necessary for possible warranty and liability obligations, we delete the corresponding customer data. This is the case, for example, when a business contract ends. After that, the limitation period is usually 3 years, although longer periods are possible in individual cases. Of course, we also comply with the statutory retention obligations. Your customer data will certainly not be passed on to third parties unless you have explicitly given your consent.

Legal basis
The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (contract or pre-contractual measures), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (legitimate interests) and in special cases (e.g. medical services) Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a. DSGVO (processing of special categories).

In the case of the protection of vital interests, data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. c. DSGVO. For the purposes of health care, occupational medicine, medical diagnosis, health or social care or treatment, or for the management of health or social care systems and services, the processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (h). DSGVO. If you voluntarily provide special category data, the processing is based on Art. 9 (2) lit. a. DSGVO.

Web hosting introduction
Web hosting summary
👥 Data subjects: Visitors to the website
🤝 Purpose: professional hosting of the website and safeguarding its operation
📓 Data processed: IP address, time of website visit, browser used and other data. More details on this can be found below or with the respective web hosting provider used.
Storage period: depends on the respective provider, but usually 2 weeks.
⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f DSGVO (Legitimate Interests).

What is web hosting?
When you visit websites nowadays, certain information - including personal data - is automatically created and stored, including on this website. This data should be processed as sparingly as possible and only with justification. By website, by the way, we mean the totality of all web pages on a domain, i.e. everything from the home page (homepage) to the very last sub-page (like this one). By domain, we mean, for example, example.de or sampleexample.com.

If you want to view a website on a computer, tablet or smartphone, you use a programme called a web browser to do so. You probably know some web browsers by name: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari. We call them browsers or web browsers for short.
 

To display the website, the browser must connect to another computer where the website's code is stored: the web server. Operating a web server is a complicated and costly task, which is why it is usually done by professional providers. These offer web hosting and thus ensure reliable and error-free storage of website data. A whole lot of technical terms, but please stay tuned, it gets better!

When the browser on your computer (desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone) connects and during data transfer to and from the web server, personal data may be processed. On the one hand, your computer stores data, on the other hand, the web server also has to store data for a while to ensure proper operation.

A picture is worth a thousand words, so the following graphic illustrates the interaction between the browser, the internet and the hosting provider.

 

Why do we process personal data?
The purposes of data processing are:

To professionally host the website and secure its operation

To maintain operational and IT security

Anonymous evaluation of access behaviour to improve our offer and, if necessary, for criminal prosecution or the pursuit of claims.

What data is processed?
Even while you are visiting our website right now, our web server, which is the computer on which this website is stored, usually automatically saves data such as

the complete internet address (URL) of the website you are visiting

Browser and browser version (e.g. Chrome 87)

the operating system used (e.g. Windows 10)

the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL) (e.g. https://www.beispielquellsite.de/vondabinichgekommen/)

the host name and IP address of the device being accessed (e.g. COMPUTERNAME and 194.23.43.121)

the date and time

in files, the so-called web server log files

How long is data stored?

As a rule, the above data is stored for a fortnight and then automatically deleted. We do not share this data, but we cannot exclude the possibility that this data may be viewed by authorities in the event of unlawful behaviour.

In short: Your visit is logged by our provider (company that runs our website on special computers (servers)), but we do not pass on your data without consent!

Legal basis

The lawfulness of the processing of personal data in the context of web hosting results from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (protection of legitimate interests), because the use of professional hosting with a provider is necessary in order to present the company on the internet in a secure and user-friendly manner and to be able to pursue attacks and claims from this if necessary.

Between us and the hosting provider there is usually a contract on commissioned processing in accordance with Art. 28 f. DSGVO, which ensures compliance with data protection and guarantees data security.

Website Building Block Systems Privacy Policy Summary
👥 Data subject: Visitors to the website
🤝 Purpose: optimisation of our service performance
📓 Data processed: Data such as technical usage information such as browser activity, clickstream activity, session heatmaps as well as contact details, IP address or your geographical location. More details can be found below in this privacy policy and in the privacy policy of the providers.
📅 Storage period: depends on the provider.
⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (Legitimate Interests), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (Consent).

What are website construction kits?

We use a website construction kit system for our website. Modular systems are special forms of a content management system (CMS). With a modular system, website operators can create a website very easily and without programming knowledge. In many cases, web hosts also offer building block systems. By using a modular system, personal data of you may also be collected, stored and processed. In this data protection text, we provide you with general information about data processing by modular systems. You can find more detailed information in the data protection declarations of the provider.

Why do we use website building systems for our website?

The biggest advantage of a modular system is its ease of use. We want to offer you a clear, simple and concise website that we can easily operate and maintain ourselves - without external support. A modular system now offers many helpful functions that we can use even without programming knowledge. This allows us to design our web presence according to our wishes and to offer you an informative and pleasant time on our website.

What data is stored by a modular system?

Exactly what data is stored depends, of course, on the website construction system used. Each provider processes and collects different data from the website visitor. However, as a rule, technical usage information such as operating system, browser, screen resolution, language and keyboard settings, hosting provider and the date of your website visit are collected. Tracking data (e.g. browser activity, clickstream activity, session heatmaps, etc.) may also be processed. In addition, personal data may also be collected and stored. This is mostly contact data such as email address, telephone number (if you have provided it), IP address and geographical location data. You can find out exactly what data is stored in the provider's privacy policy.

How long and where is the data stored?

We will inform you about the duration of the data processing below in connection with the website construction kit system used, provided we have further information on this. You will find detailed information about this in the provider's privacy policy. In general, we only process personal data for as long as is absolutely necessary for the provision of our services and products. It may be that the provider stores data from you according to its own specifications, over which we have no influence.

Right of objection

You always have the right to information, correction and deletion of your personal data. If you have any questions, you can also contact the person responsible for the website construction kit system used at any time. You can find contact details either in our privacy policy or on the website of the relevant provider.

You can delete, deactivate or manage cookies that providers use for their functions in your browser. Depending on which browser you use, this works in different ways. Please note, however, that all functions may then no longer work as usual.

Legal basis

We have a legitimate interest in using a website construction kit system to optimise our online service and to present it efficiently and in a user-friendly manner for you. The corresponding legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (Legitimate Interests). Nevertheless, we only use the construction kit if you have given your consent.

Insofar as the processing of data is not absolutely necessary for the operation of the website, the data will only be processed on the basis of your consent. This applies in particular to tracking activities. The legal basis in this respect is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

With this data protection declaration, we have provided you with the most important general information about data processing. If you would like more detailed information, you will find further information - if available - in the following section or in the privacy policy of the provider.

Web Analytics Introduction

Web Analytics Privacy Policy Summary
👥 Data subject: Visitors to the website.
🤝 Purpose: Evaluation of visitor information to optimise the web offer.
📓 Data processed: Access statistics containing data such as access locations, device data, access duration and time, navigation behaviour, click behaviour and IP addresses. More details can be found in the respective web analytics tool used.
Storage period: depending on the web analytics tool used.
⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (legitimate interests).

What is Web Analytics?

We use software on our website to evaluate the behaviour of website visitors, called web analytics for short. This involves collecting data that the respective analytic tool provider (also called tracking tool) stores, manages and processes. With the help of the data, analyses of user behaviour on our website are created and made available to us as the website operator. In addition, most tools offer various test options. For example, we can test which offers or contents are best received by our visitors. For this purpose, we show you two different offers for a limited period of time. After the test (so-called A/B test), we know which product or content our website visitors find more interesting. For such test procedures, as for other analytics procedures, user profiles can also be created and the data stored in cookies.

Why do we do web analytics?

With our website we have a clear goal in mind: we want to deliver the best web offer on the market for our industry. To achieve this goal, we want to offer the best and most interesting offer on the one hand and on the other hand make sure that you feel completely comfortable on our website. With the help of web analysis tools, we can take a closer look at the behaviour of our website visitors and then improve our website accordingly for you and for us. For example, we can see how old our visitors are on average, where they come from, when our website is most visited or which content or products are particularly popular. All this information helps us to optimise the website and thus best adapt it to your needs, interests and wishes.

What data is processed?

Exactly what data is stored depends, of course, on the analysis tools used. But as a rule, for example, which content you view on our website, which buttons or links you click on, when you call up a page, which browser you use, which device (PC, tablet, smartphone, etc.) you use to visit the website or which computer system you use are stored. If you agreed that location data may also be collected, these may also be processed by the web analysis tool provider.

In addition, your IP address is also stored. According to the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO), IP addresses are personal data. However, your IP address is usually stored pseudonymised (i.e. in an unrecognisable and shortened form). For the purpose of testing, web analysis and web optimisation, no direct data, such as your name, age, address or e-mail address, is stored as a matter of principle. All this data, if collected, is stored pseudonymously. This means that you cannot be identified as a person.

The following example shows schematically how Google Analytics works as an example of client-based web tracking with Java Script code.

 

How long the respective data is stored always depends on the provider. Some cookies only store data for a few minutes or until you leave the website again, other cookies can store data for several years.

Duration of data processing

We will inform you about the duration of data processing below, provided we have further information on this. In general, we only process personal data for as long as is strictly necessary for the provision of our services and products. If, as in the case of accounting for example, it is required by law, this storage period may be exceeded.

Right of objection

You also have the right and the possibility to revoke your consent to the use of cookies or third-party providers at any time. This works either via our cookie management tool or via other opt-out functions. For example, you can also prevent data collection through cookies by managing, deactivating or deleting cookies in your browser.

Legal basis

The use of web analytics requires your consent, which we have obtained with our cookie pop-up. According to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (consent), this consent constitutes the legal basis for the processing of personal data, as may occur during the collection by web analytics tools.

In addition to consent, there is a legitimate interest on our part in analysing the behaviour of website visitors and thus improving our offer technically and economically. With the help of web analytics, we detect website errors, can identify attacks and improve economic efficiency. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (Legitimate Interests). Nevertheless, we only use the tools if you have given your consent.

Since web analytics tools use cookies, we also recommend that you read our general data protection declaration on cookies. To find out exactly which of your data is stored and processed, you should read the data protection statements of the respective tools.

Information on specific web analytics tools - if available - can be found in the following sections.

Messenger & Communication Introduction

Messenger & Communication Privacy Policy Summary
👥 Data subject: Visitors to the website
🤝 Purpose: Contact requests and general communication between us and you.
📓 Data processed: Data such as name, address, email address, telephone number, general content data, IP address if applicable.
You can find more details on this in the respective tools used.
📅 Storage period: depending on the messenger & communication functions used.
⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (legitimate interests), Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b. DSGVO (contractual or pre-contractual obligations)

What are messenger & communication functions?

We offer various options on our website (such as messenger and chat functions, online or contact forms, e-mail, telephone) to communicate with us. In doing so, your data is also processed and stored as far as it is necessary to answer your enquiry and our subsequent measures.

In addition to traditional means of communication such as e-mail, contact forms or telephone, we also use chats or messengers. The most commonly used messenger function at present is WhatsApp, but there are of course many different providers offering messenger functions specifically for websites. If content is encrypted end-to-end, this is indicated in the individual data protection texts or in the privacy policy of the respective provider. End-to-end encryption means nothing other than that the content of a message itself is not visible to the provider. However, information about your device, location settings and other technical data can still be processed and stored.

Why do we use messenger & communication functions?

Communication possibilities with you are of great importance to us. After all, we want to talk to you and answer all possible questions about our service in the best possible way. Well-functioning communication is an important part of our service. With the practical messenger & communication functions, you can always choose the ones you prefer. In exceptional cases, however, we may not be able to answer certain questions via chat or messenger. This is the case, for example, when it comes to internal contractual matters. In this case, we recommend other means of communication such as e-mail or telephone.

As a rule, we assume that we remain responsible under data protection law, even if we use the services of a social media platform. However, the European Court of Justice has ruled that in certain cases the operator of the social media platform may be jointly responsible with us within the meaning of Art. 26 of the GDPR. Where this is the case, we point this out separately and work on the basis of an agreement to this effect. The essence of the agreement is reproduced below for the platform concerned.

Please note that when using our built-in elements, data of you may also be processed outside the European Union, as many providers, for example Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp are American companies. This may make it less easy for you to claim or enforce your rights in relation to your personal data.

What data is processed?

The exact data that is stored and processed depends on the respective provider of the messenger & communication functions. Basically, it is data such as name, address, telephone number, email address and content data such as all the information you enter in a contact form. In most cases, information about your device and IP address is also stored. Data collected via a messenger & communication function is also stored on the providers' servers.

If you want to know exactly what data is stored and processed by the respective providers and how you can object to the data processing, you should carefully read the respective privacy policy of the company.

How long is data stored?

How long the data is processed and stored depends primarily on the tools we use. You can find out more about the data processing of the individual tools below. The privacy statements of the providers usually state exactly which data is stored and processed and for how long. In principle, personal data is only processed for as long as it is necessary for the provision of our services. If data is stored in cookies, the storage period varies greatly. The data can be deleted immediately after leaving a website, but it can also remain stored for several years. You should therefore look at each individual cookie in detail if you want to know more about data storage. In most cases, you will also find informative information about the individual cookies in the data protection declarations of the individual providers.

Right of objection

You also have the right and the possibility to revoke your consent to the use of cookies or third-party providers at any time. This works either via our cookie management tool or via other opt-out functions. For example, you can also prevent data collection through cookies by managing, deactivating or deleting cookies in your browser. For more information, please refer to the consent section.

As cookies may be used in messenger & communication functions, we also recommend that you read our general privacy policy on cookies. To find out exactly which of your data is stored and processed, you should read the privacy statements of the respective tools.

Legal basis

If you have consented that data from you can be processed and stored through integrated messenger & communication functions, this consent is considered the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). We process your enquiry and manage your data in the context of contractual or pre-contractual relationships in order to fulfil our pre-contractual and contractual obligations or to answer enquiries. The basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b. DSGVO. In principle, your data will also be stored and processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) in fast and good communication with you or other customers and business partners if consent has been given.

Telegram Privacy Policy

We also use the instant messaging service Telegram. The service provider is the international company Telegram Messenger LLP, which operates from a London address (71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, UK) and was developed in Russia.

What is Telegram?

Telegram was founded in 2013 by Nikolai and Pawel Durow. Since the Telegram team see themselves as so-called digital nomads, you never know exactly where the team is working. The Telegram website also does not have an imprint.
Similar to other messaging services, such as WhatsApp, you can send messages, photos and videos and other files via Telegram and also make phone calls. This messaging service has become increasingly popular in recent years. In 2022, there were already over 700 million users.
When you use Telegram, personal data is also processed and stored on the Telegram servers. In addition to chat messages, this includes sent photos, videos and profile data, IP address and synchronised contacts. Telegram encrypts data between the server and your end device, but can only offer end-to-end encryption for secret chats. Data stored in the cloud is viewable by the company and also by third parties.

Why do we use Telegram?

Many people now use Telegram as an alternative to other messaging services such as WhatsApp. We want to stay in touch with you and this works best via an instant messaging service, which many of our customers also use. The service works flawlessly, is practical and makes it easy to communicate with you.

You can find out more about the data processed through the use of Telegram in the Privacy Policy at https://telegram.org/privacy.

WhatsApp privacy policy

We use the instant messaging service WhatsApp on our website. The service provider is the American company WhatsApp Inc, a subsidiary of Meta Platforms Inc (until October 2021 Facebook Inc). The company WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible for the European region.

What is WhatsApp?

We probably don't need to introduce WhatsApp to you in more detail. The probability that you yourself use this well-known messaging service on your smartphone is relatively high. For many years, there have been voices criticising WhatsApp or its parent company Meta Platforms with regard to the handling of personal data. In recent years, the main criticism related to the merging of WhatsApp user data with Facebook. Facebook reacted to this in 2021 and adapted its terms of use. Facebook announced that currently (as of 2021) no personal data of WhatsApp users is shared with Facebook.
Nevertheless, a number of your personal data will of course be processed by WhatsApp if you use WhatsApp and have consented to the data processing. In addition to your telephone number and chat messages, this also includes photos, videos and profile data sent. However, photos and videos should only be cached for a short time and all messages and phone calls are provided with end-to-end encryption. So they should not be viewable even by Meta itself. In addition, information from your address book and other metadata are also stored by WhatsApp.

Why do we use WhatsApp?

We want to stay in touch with you and that works best via WhatsApp. On the one hand, because the service works flawlessly, and on the other hand, because WhatsApp is still the most widely used instant messaging tool worldwide. The service is practical and enables uncomplicated and quick communication with you.

Wie sicher ist der Datentransfer bei WhatsApp?

WhatsApp also processes data from you in the USA, among other places. We would like to point out that according to the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for the transfer of data to the USA. This may be associated with various risks for the lawfulness and security of the data processing.
As a basis for data processing with recipients located in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. in particular in the USA) or a data transfer there, WhatsApp uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46. para. 2 and 3 DSGVO). Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data comply with European data protection standards even if they are transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through these clauses, WhatsApp undertakes to comply with the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the US. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. You can find the decision and the corresponding standard contractual clauses here, among other places: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de
Information on data transfer at WhatsApp, which corresponds to the standard contractual clauses, can be found at https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/business-data-transfer-addendum-20210927.

We hope we have brought you closer to the most important information about the use and data processing by WhatsApp. You can find out more about the data processed through the use of WhatsApp in the Privacy Policy at https://www.whatsapp.com/privacy.

Blogs and publication media Introduction

Blogs and Publication Media Privacy Policy Summary
👥 Data subject: Visitors to the website
🤝 Purpose: Presentation and optimisation of our service performance as well as communication between website visitors, security measures and administration.
📓 Data processed: Data such as contact details, IP address and published content.
You can find more details about this in the tools used.
📅 Storage period: depending on the tools used.
⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (legitimate interests), Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b. DSGVO (contract)

What are blogs and publication media?

We use blogs or other means of communication on our website with which we can communicate with you on the one hand and you with us on the other. In the process, we may also store and process data about you. This may be necessary so that we can present content appropriately, communication works and security is increased. In our data protection text, we go into general details about which of your data can be processed. Exact details on data processing always depend on the tools and functions used. You will find precise information on data processing in the data protection notices of the individual providers.

Why do we use blogs and publication media?

Our biggest concern with our website is to offer you interesting and exciting content and at the same time your opinions and content are important to us. That's why we want to create a good interactive exchange between us and you. With various blogs and publication possibilities we can achieve exactly that. For example, you can write comments on our content, comment on other comments or, in some cases, write your own contributions.

What data is processed?

Exactly what data is processed always depends on the communication functions we use. Very often, IP address, user name and the published content are stored. This is done primarily to ensure security protection, to prevent spam and to be able to take action against illegal content. Cookies can also be used for data storage. These are small text files that are stored with information in your browser. You can find more details about the data collected and stored in our individual sections and in the privacy policy of the respective provider.

Duration of data processing

We will inform you about the duration of data processing below, provided we have further information on this. For example, contribution and comment functions store data until you revoke the data storage. In general, personal data is only stored for as long as is absolutely necessary for the provision of our services.

Right of objection

You also have the right and the possibility to revoke your consent to the use of cookies or third-party communication tools at any time. This works either via our cookie management tool or via other opt-out functions. For example, you can also prevent data collection through cookies by managing, deactivating or deleting cookies in your browser.

Since cookies may also be used with publication media, we also recommend that you read our general data protection declaration on cookies. To find out exactly which of your data is stored and processed, you should read the data protection statements of the respective tools.

Legal basis

We use the means of communication mainly on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) in fast and good communication with you or other customers, business partners and visitors. Insofar as the use serves the settlement of contractual relationships or their initiation, the legal basis is furthermore Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b. DSGVO.

Certain processing, in particular the use of cookies and the use of comment or message functions, require your consent. If and insofar as you have consented that data from you can be processed and stored by integrated publication media, this consent is considered the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). Most of the communication functions we use set cookies in your browser to store data. That is why we recommend that you read our data protection text on cookies carefully and view the data protection declaration or cookie policy of the respective service provider.

You will find information on special tools - if available - in the following sections.

Blogbeiträge und Kommentarfunktionen Datenschutzerklärung

There are various online communication tools that we can use on our website. For example, we use blog posts and comment functions. This gives you the opportunity to comment on content or write posts. If you use this function, your IP address may be stored for security reasons. This is how we protect ourselves from illegal content such as insults, unauthorised advertising or prohibited political propaganda. In order to identify whether comments are spam, we may also store and process user data on the basis of our legitimate interest. If we launch a poll, we will also store your IP address for the duration of the poll so that we can ensure that all participants really only vote once. Cookies may also be used for storage purposes. All data that we store from you (such as content or information about you) will remain stored until you object.

Closing words

Congratulations! If you are reading these lines, you have really "fought" your way through our entire data protection statement, or at least scrolled this far. As you can see from the scope of our data protection declaration, we take the protection of your personal data anything but lightly.
It is important to us to inform you to the best of our knowledge and belief about the processing of personal data. In doing so, we not only want to tell you what data is processed, but also explain the reasons for the use of various software programmes. As a rule, data protection statements sound very technical and legalistic. However, since most of you are not web developers or lawyers, we also wanted to take a different linguistic approach and explain the facts in simple and clear language. Of course, this is not always possible due to the subject matter. Therefore, the most important terms are explained in more detail at the end of the privacy policy.
If you have any questions about data protection on our website, please do not hesitate to contact us or the responsible office. We wish you a pleasant time and hope to welcome you on our website again soon.
