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 GDPR regulations, 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 provisions of the GDPR, national data protection regulations apply in Germany. These include, 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.
Reference to the validity of GDPR and Swiss DSG: This privacy policy serves to provide information in accordance with both the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (Swiss DSG) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For this reason, we ask you to note that, due to their broader geographical application and comprehensibility, the terms of the GDPR are used. In particular, instead of the terms "processing" of "personal data," "overriding interest," and "particularly sensitive personal data" used in the Swiss DSG, the terms "processing" of "personal data," "legitimate interest," and "special categories of data" used in the GDPR are used. However, the legal meaning of the terms will continue to be determined by the Swiss DSG within the scope of the Swiss DSG.
The following overview summarizes the types of data processed and the purposes of their processing and refers to the data subjects.
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 organisational 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.
TLS encryption (https): To protect the data you transmit via our online service, we use TLS encryption. You can recognize such encrypted connections by the prefix https:// in your browser's address bar.
Cookies are small text files or other storage devices that store information on end devices and read 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 improving the functionality, security, and convenience of online offerings, as well as creating analyses of visitor flows.
Notes on consent: We use cookies in accordance with legal regulations. We therefore obtain prior consent from users unless this is not required by law. In particular, consent is not necessary if the storage and reading of information, including cookies, is absolutely necessary in order to provide users with a telemedia service expressly requested by them (i.e. our online offering). Strictly necessary cookies generally include cookies with functions that serve to display and operate the online offering, load balancing, security, storing user preferences and selection options, or similar purposes related to providing the main and secondary functions of the online offering requested by users. The revocable consent is clearly communicated to users and contains information about the respective cookie usage.
Information on data protection legal bases: The legal basis under data protection law for processing users' personal data with the help of cookies depends on whether we ask users for their consent. If users consent, 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 (e.g. in the commercial operation of our online offering and improving 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 explain the purposes for which we process cookies in the course of this data protection declaration 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 (so-called “opt-out”): Users can revoke their consent at any time and object to processing in accordance with legal requirements. To do so, users can, among other things, restrict the use of cookies in their browser settings (although this may also limit the functionality of our online offering). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be made via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/ be explained.
Further information on processing procedures, methods and services:
We process data of our contractual and business partners, e.g. 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 within the framework of communication with the contractual partners (or pre-contractually), e.g. to answer inquiries.
We process 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 process the data to protect our rights and for the purposes of the administrative tasks associated with these obligations, as well as company organization. Furthermore, we process the data on the basis of 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 (e.g., 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, e.g., for marketing purposes, within the framework of this privacy policy.
We will inform our contractual partners which data is required for the aforementioned purposes before or during data collection, e.g. in online forms, by special marking (e.g. colors) or symbols (e.g. asterisks or similar), or in person.
We delete the data after statutory warranty and similar obligations have expired, i.e. generally after four years, unless the data is stored in a customer account, e.g. as long as it must be retained for legal archiving reasons. The statutory retention period is ten years for documents relevant to tax law as well as for commercial books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual financial statements, the work instructions necessary to understand these documents and other organizational documents and accounting documents, and six years for received commercial and business letters and reproductions of sent commercial and business letters. The period begins at the end of the calendar year in which the last entry was made in the book, the inventory, opening balance sheet, annual financial statements or management report was prepared, the commercial or business letter was received or sent, or the accounting document was created, furthermore the recording was made or the other documents were created.
To the extent that we use third-party providers or platforms to provide our services, the terms and conditions and data protection notices of the respective third-party providers or platforms apply to the relationship between users and the providers.
Further information on processing procedures, methods and services:
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:
When you contact us (e.g. 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.
Web analytics (also known as "reach measurement") is used to evaluate visitor traffic to our online offering and may include behavior, interests, or demographic information about visitors, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. Reach analysis allows us to determine, for example, when our online offering or its functions or content are most frequently used or encourage reuse. Likewise, we can understand which areas require optimization.
In addition to web analysis, we can also use testing procedures to, for example, test and optimize different versions of our online offering or its components.
Unless otherwise stated below, profiles, i.e., data summarized for a usage process, may be created for these purposes, and information may be stored in a browser or on a device and read from it. The information collected includes, in particular, websites visited and elements used there, as well as technical information such as the browser used, the computer system used, and information on usage times. If users have consented to the collection of their location data by us or by the providers of the services we use, location data may also be processed.
Users' IP addresses are also stored. However, we use an IP masking process (i.e., pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) to protect users. Generally, no real user data (such as email addresses or names) is stored for web analysis, A/B testing, and optimization; instead, pseudonyms are used. This means that neither we nor the providers of the software used know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles for the purposes of the respective processes.
