As a private company, we are subject to the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the regulations of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We have implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure that both we and our external service providers comply with data protection regulations.

Definitions of Terms

The legislator requires that personal data be processed in a lawful manner, in good faith, and in a way that is comprehensible to the data subject ("lawfulness, processing in good faith, transparency"). To ensure this, we will inform you of the legal definitions of terms used in this privacy policy:

  • Personal Data
    "Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

  • Pseudonymization
    "Pseudonymization" means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

    "File system" means any structured set of personal data which is accessible according to specific criteria, whether centralized, decentralized, or dispersed on a functional or geographical basis.

    "Consent" means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes, by which the data subject, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

Lawfulness of Processing

The processing of personal data is only lawful if there is a legal basis for the processing. The legal basis for processing can, according to Article 6(1) lit. a–f of the GDPR, particularly be:

  • The data subject has given their consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes;
  • The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
  • The processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
  • The processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person;
  • The processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  • The processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

The data arising in this context will be deleted once storage is no longer necessary, or processing will be restricted if there are legal retention obligations.

If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data that is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security (the legal basis is Article 6(1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR):

Registration on Our Website

The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. The personal data to be transmitted to the controller results from the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for their own purposes. The controller may arrange for the transfer to one or more processors, such as a parcel service provider, who also uses the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.

By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP), the date, and the time of the registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place because only this way the misuse of our services can be prevented, and these data make it possible, if necessary, to clarify committed offenses. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for the protection of the controller. This data will not be disclosed to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to disclose it or the disclosure serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary provision of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject content or services that, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have them completely deleted from the controller's database.

The controller will provide information to any data subject at any time upon request as to what personal data is stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as no statutory storage obligations stand in the way of such deletion. All of the controller’s employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.
