The following overview summarizes the types of data processed and the purposes of their processing and refers to the data subjects.

Purposes of processing
Relevant legal bases under the GDPR: Below you will find an overview of the GDPR legal bases on which we process personal data. Please note that in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection regulations may apply in your or our country of residence or domicile. Should more specific legal bases apply in individual cases, we will inform you of these in the privacy policy.
National data protection regulations in Germany: In addition to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, national data protection regulations apply in Germany. This includes, in particular, the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). The BDSG contains, in particular, special provisions on the right to information, the right to erasure, the right of objection, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes, and transmission, as well as automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling. Furthermore, state data protection laws of individual federal states may apply.
In accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.
These measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data, as well as the access, input, and transfer of data, ensuring its availability, and segregation. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subjects’ rights, the deletion of data, and responses to data threats. Furthermore, we consider the protection of personal data right from the development and selection of hardware, software, and processes in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design, and through data protection-friendly default settings.
Securing online connections with TLS/SSL encryption technology (HTTPS): To protect user data transmitted via our online services from unauthorized access, we use TLS/SSL encryption technology. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are the cornerstones of secure data transmission on the internet. These technologies encrypt the information transmitted between the website or app and the user’s browser (or between two servers), thereby protecting the data from unauthorized access. TLS, as the more advanced and secure version of SSL, ensures that all data transmissions meet the highest security standards. If a website is secured by an SSL/TLS certificate, this is signaled by the display of HTTPS in the URL. This serves as an indicator to users that their data is being transmitted securely and encrypted.
As part of our processing of personal data, it may happen that this data is transmitted to or disclosed to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units, or individuals. Recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with legal requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data that serve to protect your data.
Data processing in third countries: If we process data in a third country (ie, outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if the processing takes place as part of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transmission of data to other persons, bodies or companies, this will only take place in accordance with the legal requirements. If the level of data protection in the third country has been recognized by means of an adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR), this serves as the basis for the data transfer. Otherwise, data transfers only take place if the level of data protection is otherwise ensured, in particular through standard contractual clauses (Art. 46 (2) (c) GDPR), express consent or in the case of contractually or legally required transfer (Art. 49 (1) GDPR). We will also inform you of the basis for third-country transfers from the individual providers in the third country, with the adequacy decisions taking precedence. Information on third country transfers and existing adequacy decisions can be found in the information provided by the EU Commission: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en?prefLang=de.
EU-US Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework: Within the framework of the so-called “Data Privacy Framework” (DPF), the EU Commission has also recognized the level of data protection for certain companies from the USA as secure within the framework of the adequacy decision of July 10, 2023. The list of certified companies and further information on the DPF can be found on the website of the US Department of Commerce at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/ (in English). We inform you in the privacy policy which service providers we use are certified under the Data Privacy Framework.
We delete personal data that we process in accordance with legal requirements as soon as the underlying consent is revoked or there are no further legal grounds for processing. This applies to cases where the original processing purpose no longer applies or the data is no longer needed. Exceptions to this rule exist if legal obligations or special interests require longer retention or archiving of the data.
In particular, data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons or whose storage is necessary for legal proceedings or to protect the rights of other natural or legal persons must be archived accordingly.
Our privacy policy contains additional information on the retention and deletion of data that applies specifically to certain processing operations.
If there are multiple details regarding the retention period or deletion period for a given date, the longest period always applies.
If a period does not explicitly begin on a specific date and is at least one year, it automatically begins at the end of the calendar year in which the event triggering the period occurred. In the case of ongoing contractual relationships in which data is stored, the event triggering the period is the effective date of the termination or other termination of the legal relationship.
We process data that is no longer stored for the originally intended purpose but due to legal requirements or other reasons only for the reasons that justify its storage.

Rights of data subjects under the GDPR: As a data subject, you are entitled to various rights under the GDPR, which arise in particular from Articles 15 to 21 GDPR:
We process data of our contractual and business partners, eg customers and interested parties (collectively referred to as “contractual partners”), within the framework of contractual and comparable legal relationships as well as related measures and with regard to communication with the contractual partners (or pre-contractually), for example to answer inquiries.
We use this data to fulfill our contractual obligations. This includes, in particular, the obligation to provide the agreed services, any update obligations, and remedy in the event of warranty and other service disruptions. Furthermore, we use the data to protect our rights and for the purposes of the administrative tasks associated with these obligations, as well as for corporate organization. Furthermore, we process the data based on our legitimate interests in proper and efficient business management and in security measures to protect our contractual partners and our business operations from misuse and the endangerment of their data, secrets, information, and rights (eg, the involvement of telecommunications, transport, and other auxiliary services, as well as subcontractors, banks, tax and legal advisors, payment service providers, or tax authorities). Within the framework of applicable law, we only pass on contractual partners’ data to third parties to the extent necessary for the aforementioned purposes or to fulfill legal obligations. Contractual partners will be informed of other forms of processing, such as for marketing purposes, in this privacy policy.
We will inform our contractual partners which data is required for the aforementioned purposes before or during data collection, eg in online forms, by special marking (eg colors) or symbols (eg asterisks or similar), or in person.
We delete data after the expiration of statutory warranty and similar obligations, ie, generally after four years, unless the data is stored in a customer account, eg, for as long as it must be retained for legal archiving reasons (eg, for tax purposes, usually ten years). We delete data disclosed to us by the contractual partner as part of an order in accordance with the specifications and generally after the end of the order.
Further information on processing procedures, methods and services:
Personal data of service recipients and clients – including customers, clients, or in special cases, clients, patients, business partners, and other third parties – is processed within the framework of contractual and comparable legal relationships and pre-contractual measures such as the initiation of business relationships. This data processing supports and facilitates business processes in areas such as customer management, sales, payment transactions, accounting, and project management.
The collected data serves to fulfill contractual obligations and streamline operational processes. This includes processing business transactions, managing customer relationships, optimizing sales strategies, and ensuring internal accounting and financial processes. In addition, the data supports the protection of the controller’s rights and supports administrative tasks and the organization of the company.
Personal data may be transferred to third parties if this is necessary to fulfill the stated purposes or legal obligations. After the expiration of statutory retention periods or if the purpose of processing no longer applies, the data will be deleted. This also includes data that must be stored for longer periods due to tax and legal documentation requirements.
Further information on processing procedures, methods and services:
We offer our services on online platforms operated by other service providers. In this context, the privacy policies of the respective platforms apply in addition to our privacy policy. This applies in particular with regard to the execution of the payment process and the methods used on the platforms for reach measurement and interest-based marketing.
Further information on processing procedures, methods and services:
Within the framework of contractual and other legal relationships, due to legal obligations or otherwise on the basis of our legitimate interests, we offer the data subjects efficient and secure payment options and, in addition to banks and credit institutions, we use other service providers for this purpose (collectively “payment service providers”).
The data processed by the payment service providers includes inventory data such as name and address, bank details such as account numbers or credit card numbers, passwords, TANs and checksums, as well as contract, amount, and recipient-related information. This information is required to process the transactions. However, the data entered is only processed and stored by the payment service providers. This means that we do not receive any account- or credit card-related information, only information confirming or rejecting the payment. Under certain circumstances, the payment service providers may transmit the data to credit agencies. This transmission is for the purpose of identity and credit checks. For more information, please refer to the terms and conditions and the privacy policy of the payment service providers.
Payment transactions are subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policy of the respective payment service providers, which are available on the respective websites or transaction applications. We also refer to these for further information and to assert your rights of withdrawal, information, and other data subjects.

PayPal: Payment services (technical connection of online payment methods) (eg PayPal, PayPal Plus, Braintree); Service provider: PayPal (Europe) S.à rl et Cie, SCA, 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg; Legal basis: Contractual fulfillment and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR); Website: https://www.paypal.com/de . Privacy policy: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full .
We process user data to provide them with our online services. For this purpose, we process the user’s IP address, which is necessary to transmit the content and functions of our online services to the user’s browser or device.
Further information on processing procedures, methods and services:
Cookies are small text files or other storage devices that store and retrieve information from end devices. For example, they can store the login status in a user account, the contents of a shopping cart in an e-shop, the content accessed, or the functions used in an online offering. Cookies can also be used for various purposes, such as ensuring the functionality, security, and convenience of online offerings, as well as creating analyzes of visitor flows.
Notes on consent: We use cookies in accordance with legal regulations. Therefore, we obtain prior consent from users unless it is not required by law. Permission is particularly unnecessary if the storage and retrieval of information, including cookies, is absolutely necessary to provide users with a telemedia service they have expressly requested (ie, our online offering). The revocable consent will be clearly communicated to users and will contain information on the respective cookie usage.
Notes on the legal basis for data protection: The legal basis for processing users’ personal data with the help of cookies depends on whether we ask for their consent. If users accept, the legal basis for processing their data is their declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed with the help of cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (eg, in the commercial operation of our online offering and the improvement of its usability) or, if this occurs as part of the fulfillment of our contractual obligations, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations. We will clarify the purposes for which we use cookies in the course of this privacy policy or as part of our consent and processing procedures.
Storage period: With regard to the storage period, the following types of cookies are distinguished:
General information on revocation and objection (opt-out): Users can revoke the consent they have given at any time and also object to processing in accordance with the legal requirements, including by using the privacy settings of their browser.
Further information on processing procedures, methods and services:
When you contact us (eg by post, contact form, email, telephone or via social media) as well as within the framework of existing user and business relationships, the information provided by the person making the inquiry will be processed to the extent necessary to answer the contact inquiries and any requested measures.
Further information on processing procedures, methods and services:
We use messengers for communication purposes and therefore ask you to note the following information on the functionality of the messengers, encryption, the use of communication metadata and your options for objection.
You can also contact us via alternative means, such as telephone or email. Please use the contact options provided or those provided within our online offering.
In the case of end-to-end encryption of content (ie, the content of your message and attachments), please note that the communication content (ie, the content of the message and attached images) is encrypted end-to-end. This means that the content of the messages cannot be viewed, not even by the messenger providers themselves. You should always use a current version of the messenger with encryption enabled to ensure the encryption of the message content.
However, we would also like to point out to our communication partners that although the providers of the messengers cannot see the content, they can find out that and when communication partners communicate with us, as well as technical information about the device used by the communication partners and, depending on the settings of their device, location information (so-called metadata) is processed.
Notes on legal bases: If we ask communication partners for permission before communicating with them via messenger, the legal basis for our processing of their data is their consent. Otherwise, if we do not ask for consent and they contact us on their own initiative, for example, we use messenger in our relationship with our contractual partners and in the context of contract initiation as a contractual measure and, in the case of other interested parties and communication partners, on the basis of our legitimate interests in fast and efficient communication and fulfilling the needs of our communication partners in communicating via messenger. We would also like to point out that we will not transmit the contact details provided to us to the messenger for the first time without your consent.
Revocation, objection, and deletion: You can revoke your consent at any time and object to communicate with us via Messenger at any time. In the case of communication via Messenger, we delete messages in accordance with our general deletion guidelines (eg, as described above, after the end of contractual relationships, in the context of archiving requirements, etc.) and otherwise as soon as we can assume that we have responded to any inquiries from the communication partners, provided no reference to a previous conversation is expected and there are no statutory retention periods that prevent deletion.
Reservation of reference to other communication channels: To ensure your security, we ask for your understanding that for certain reasons we may not be able to respond to inquiries via Messenger. This applies to situations where, for example, contract details must be treated with particular confidentiality or a response via Messenger does not meet formal requirements. In these cases, we recommend using more appropriate communication channels.
Further information on processing procedures, methods and services:
We send newsletters, emails, and other electronic notifications (hereinafter “newsletters”) exclusively with the consent of the recipients or based on a legal basis. If the newsletter content is mentioned when registering for the newsletter, this content is decisive for the user’s consent. Providing your email address is usually sufficient to register for our newsletter. However, in order to offer you a personalized service, we may ask you to provide your name so that we can address you personally in the newsletter or for further information if this is necessary for the purpose of the newsletter.
Deletion and restriction of processing: We may store unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years based on our legitimate interests before deleting them in order to be able to prove previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of potentially defending against claims. An individual request for deletion is possible at any time, provided that the previous consent is confirmed at the same time. In the case of obligations to permanently observe objections, we reserve the right to store the email address on a block list (so-called “block list”) for this purpose alone.
The registration process is logged based on our legitimate interests for the purpose of demonstrating its proper execution. If we commission a service provider to send emails, this is done based on our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure delivery system.

Further information on processing procedures, methods and services:
We process personal data for the purpose of online marketing, which may include, in particular, the marketing of advertising space or the presentation of advertising and other content (collectively referred to as “content”) based on potential user interests and the measurement of its effectiveness.
For these purposes, so-called user profiles are created and stored in a file (the so-called “cookie”) or similar procedures are used to store the user information relevant to the presentation of the aforementioned content. This may include, for example, content viewed, websites visited, online networks used, but also communication partners and technical information, such as the browser used, the computer system used, as well as information on usage times and functions used. If users have consented to the collection of their location data, this may also be processed.
In addition, users’ IP addresses are stored. However, we use available IP masking procedures (ie, pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) to protect users. Generally, no real user data (such as email addresses or names) is stored as part of the online marketing process; instead, pseudonyms are used. This means that neither we nor the providers of the online marketing processes know the actual user identity, only the information stored in their profiles.
The statements in the profiles are usually stored in cookies or using similar processes. These cookies can generally also be read later on other websites that use the same online marketing process and analyzed for the purpose of displaying content, supplemented with additional data, and stored on the server of the online marketing process provider.
In exceptional cases, it is possible to assign clear data to profiles, primarily if, for example, the users are members of a social network whose online marketing methods we use and the network links the user profiles with the aforementioned information. Please note that users may enter into additional agreements with the providers, for example, by providing consent during registration.
We generally only receive access to aggregated information about the success of our advertisements. However, as part of so-called conversion measurements, we can check which of our online marketing processes led to a so-called conversion, ie, for example, to the conclusion of a contract with us. Conversion measurements are used solely to analyze the success of our marketing measures.
Otherwise stated, we ask you to assume that cookies used will be stored for a period of two years.
Notes on legal bases: If we ask users for their consent to the use of third-party providers, the legal basis for data processing is permission. Otherwise, user data is processed based on our legitimate interests (ie, interest in efficient, economical, and user-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to draw your attention to the information on the use of cookies in this privacy policy.
Information on revocation and objection:
We refer to the privacy policies of the respective providers and the opt-out options provided for each provider. If no explicit opt-out option has been provided, you can disable cookies in your browser settings. However, this may limit the functionality of our online offering. We therefore recommend the following additional opt-out options, which are summarized for each area:
a) Europe: https://www.youronlinechoices.eu.
b) Canada: https://www.youradchoices.ca/choices.
c) USA: https://www.aboutads.info/choices.
d) Cross-territory: https://optout.aboutads.info.
Further information on processing procedures, methods and services:
We participate in review and rating processes to evaluate, optimize, and promote our services. If users rate us via the participating rating platforms or processes or otherwise provide feedback, the providers’ general terms and conditions of use and privacy policies also apply. Typically, the rating also requires registration with the respective providers.
To ensure that the reviewers have actually used our services, we transmit, with the customer’s consent, the necessary data regarding the customer and the service used to the respective review platform (including name, email address, and order number or item number). This data is used solely to verify the user’s authenticity.
Further information on processing procedures, methods and services:
We maintain online presences within social networks and process user data in this context in order to communicate with the users active there or to offer information about us.
We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This could pose risks for users, for example, because it could make it more difficult to enforce user rights.
Furthermore, user data within social networks is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created based on user behavior and the resulting interests of users. These profiles may in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the networks that presumably correspond to the users’ interests. Therefore, cookies are generally stored on users’ computers, in which the user behavior and interests are saved. Furthermore, user profiles can also store data independently of the devices used by users (particularly if they are members of the respective platforms and are logged in there).
For a detailed description of the respective processing methods and the options for objection (opt-out), we refer to the data protection declarations and information provided by the operators of the respective networks.
In the case of requests for information and the assertion of data subject rights, we would like to point out that these can be most effectively asserted with the providers. Only the latter have access to user data and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. If you still need assistance, please contact us.
Further information on processing procedures, methods and services:
We integrate functional and content elements into our online offering that are obtained from the servers of their respective providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”). These may include, for example, graphics, videos, or city maps (hereinafter collectively referred to as “content”).
Integration always requires that the third-party providers of this content process the user’s IP address, since without an IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browser. The IP address is therefore required to display this content or functions. We endeavor to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. These “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, the time of visit, and other information about the use of our online offering, but may also be linked to such information from other sources.
Notes on legal bases: If we ask users for their consent to the use of third-party providers, the legal basis for data processing is permission. Otherwise, user data is processed based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in efficient, economical, and user-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to draw your attention to the information on the use of cookies in this privacy policy.
Further information on processing procedures, methods and services:
We ask you to inform yourself regularly about the content of our privacy policy. We will adapt the privacy policy as soon as changes to the data processing we carry out make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require your cooperation (e.g., consent) or other individual notification.
If we provide addresses and contact information of companies and organizations in this privacy policy, please note that the addresses may change over time and ask you to check the information before contacting us.
This section provides an overview of the terms used in this privacy policy. To the extent that the terms are defined by law, the legal definitions apply. The following explanations, however, are intended primarily to facilitate understanding.
