Security Measures

In accordance with legal requirements, and taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.

These measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as access to, input of, disclosure of, and ensuring the availability and separation of the data. Furthermore, we have established procedures that guarantee the exercise of data subject rights, the erasure of data, and responses to data breaches. We also consider the protection of personal data during the development and selection of hardware, software, and processes, in accordance with the principles of data protection by design and by default.

These measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as access to, input of, disclosure of, and ensuring the availability and separation of the data. Cooperation with Processors, Joint Controllers, and Third Parties

If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors, joint controllers, or third parties), transfer it to them, or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is done only on the basis of legal permission (e.g., if the transfer of data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary for the performance of a contract), if users have consented, if a legal obligation requires it, or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g., when using agents, web hosts, etc.).

If we disclose, transfer, or otherwise grant access to data to other companies within our corporate group, this is done primarily for administrative purposes as a legitimate interest and, beyond that, on a basis that complies with legal requirements.

If we disclose, transfer, or otherwise grant access to data to other companies within our corporate group, this is done primarily for administrative purposes as a legitimate interest and, furthermore, on a basis that complies with legal requirements.

Transfers to Third Countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA), or the Swiss Confederation), or if this occurs in the context of using third-party services or disclosing or transferring data to other persons or companies, this will only be done if it is necessary for the performance of our (pre-)contractual obligations, based on your consent, due to a legal obligation, or based on our legitimate interests. Subject to explicit consent or a transfer required by contract, we will only process or have data processed in third countries with a recognized level of data protection, which includes US processors certified under the "Privacy Shield" or on the basis of special safeguards, such as contractual obligations through so-called standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission, the existence of certifications, or binding internal data protection regulations (Articles 44 to 49 DSGVO, EU Commission information page).

Cookies and the right to object to direct marketing

"Cookies" are small files that are stored on users' computers. Various types of information can be stored within cookies. A cookie primarily serves to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or even after their visit to an online service. Temporary cookies, also known as "session cookies" or "transient cookies," are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online service and closes their browser. Such a cookie might, for example, store the contents of a shopping cart in an online store or a login status. "Permanent" or "persistent" cookies are cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, login status can be saved so that users remain logged in when they return to the site after several days. Similarly, user interests can be stored in such a cookie for audience measurement or marketing purposes. Cookies offered by providers other than the operator of the website are referred to as "third-party cookies" (otherwise, if they are only the operator's own cookies, they are called "first-party cookies").

We may use temporary and persistent cookies, and we explain this in our privacy policy.

If we ask users for their consent to the use of cookies (e.g., via a cookie consent banner), the legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(a) DSGVO. Otherwise, users' personal data stored by cookies will be processed in accordance with the following explanations within this privacy policy, based on our legitimate interests (i.e., our interest in analyzing, optimizing, and operating our online services economically, pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) DSGVO), or if the use of cookies is necessary for the performance of our contractual obligations, pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) DSGVO, or if the use of cookies is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority, pursuant to Article 6(1)(e) DSGVO.

If users do not wish to have cookies stored on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in their browser's system settings. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser's system settings. Disabling cookies may lead to functional limitations of this online service.

If users do not wish to have cookies stored on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in their browser's system settings. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser's system settings. Disabling cookies may result in functional limitations of this online service.

This processing is carried out in accordance with the following explanations in this privacy policy. You can generally object to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes with many services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, you can prevent the storage of cookies by disabling them in your browser settings. Please note that this may prevent you from using all the features of this website.

Deletion of Data

The data we process will be deleted or its processing restricted in accordance with legal requirements. Unless expressly stated otherwise in this Privacy Policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no legal obligations to retain it.

If the data is not deleted because it is required for other legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons.

Changes and Updates to the Privacy Policy

We ask that you regularly review the content of our Privacy Policy. We will update the Privacy Policy as soon as changes to our data processing activities make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as any changes require action on your part (e.g., consent) or other individual notification.

In addition, we process

  • contract data (e.g., subject matter of the contract, term, customer category).
  • Payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history)

from our customers, prospective customers, and business partners for the purpose of providing contractual services, customer service and support, marketing, advertising, and market research.

Order processing in the online shop and customer account

We process our customers' data as part of the order process in our online shop to enable them to select and order their chosen products and services, as well as to process payment and delivery or fulfillment.

The data processed includes inventory data, communication data, contract data, and payment data. The data subjects include our customers, prospective customers, and other business partners. Processing is carried out for the purpose of providing contractual services within the framework of operating an online shop, invoicing, delivery, and customer service. We use session cookies to store the shopping cart contents and persistent cookies to store the login status.

The data processed includes inventory data, communication data, contract data, and payment data. The processing of your data is carried out to fulfill our services and implement contractual measures (e.g., processing orders) and to the extent required by law (e.g., legally mandated archiving of business transactions for commercial and tax purposes). The information marked as required is necessary for establishing and fulfilling the contract. We only disclose data to third parties in connection with delivery, payment, or within the scope of legal permissions and obligations, as well as when this is based on our legitimate interests, about which we inform you in this privacy policy (e.g., to legal and tax advisors, financial institutions, shipping companies, and authorities).

Users can optionally create a user account, which allows them, in particular, to view their orders. During registration, users are informed of the required mandatory information. User accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. If users terminate their user account, their data relating to the user account will be deleted, unless its retention is necessary for commercial or tax law reasons. Information in the customer account remains until the account is deleted, with subsequent archiving in the event of a legal obligation or our legitimate interests (e.g., in the case of legal disputes). It is the users' responsibility to back up their data before the end of the contract if they terminate their account.

During registration, subsequent logins, and use of our online services, we store the IP address and the time of each user action. This storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the user's interest in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. This data is generally not shared with third parties, unless it is necessary for pursuing our legal claims as a legitimate interest or there is a legal obligation to do so.

Data is deleted after the expiration of statutory warranty periods and other contractual rights or obligations (e.g., payment claims or performance obligations arising from contracts with customers). The necessity of retaining the data is reviewed every three years; in the case of retention due to statutory archiving obligations, deletion occurs after these obligations expire.

Agency Services

We process our clients' data within the scope of our contractual services, which include conceptual and strategic consulting, campaign planning, software and design development/consulting or maintenance, campaign and process implementation/handling, server administration, data analysis/consulting services, and training services.

In doing so, we process master data (e.g., client master data such as names or addresses), contact data (e.g., email addresses, telephone numbers), content data (e.g., text entries, photographs, videos), contract data (e.g., subject matter of the contract, term), payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history), and usage and metadata (e.g., within the scope of evaluating and measuring the success of marketing activities). We generally do not process special categories of personal data unless they are part of a commissioned processing activity. Data subjects include our clients, prospective clients, and their customers, users, website visitors, or employees, as well as other third parties. The purpose of the processing is the provision of contractual services, billing, and our customer service. The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (contractual performance) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (analysis, statistics, optimization, security measures). We process data that is necessary for establishing and fulfilling contractual obligations and indicate when providing this data is mandatory. Disclosure to external parties only occurs when necessary for the execution of a contract. When processing data entrusted to us within the scope of a contract, we act in accordance with the instructions of the client and the legal requirements for data processing on behalf of a controller pursuant to Art. 28 DSGVO, and we do not process the data for any purposes other than those stipulated in the contract.

We delete the data after the expiry of statutory warranty periods and comparable obligations. The necessity of retaining the data is reviewed every three years; in the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion occurs after their expiry (6 years, pursuant to Section 257 para. 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), 10 years, pursuant to Section 147 para. 1 of the German Fiscal Code (AO)). In the case of data disclosed to us by the client within the scope of a contract, we delete the data in accordance with the specifications of the contract, generally after the end of the contract.

External Payment Service Providers

We use external payment service providers through whose platforms users and we can process payment transactions. These payment service providers may include, each with a link to its privacy policy: PayPal (https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full), PaySafeCard (https://www.paysafecard.com/de-de/datenschutz/), Klarna (https://www.klarna.com/de/datenschutz/), Stripe (https://stripe.com/de/privacy).

Amazon Pay (https://pay.amazon.com/help/201751600).

We use these payment service providers for the performance of contracts based on Article 6(1)(b) DSGVO. Furthermore, we use external payment service providers based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) DSGVO to offer our users effective and secure payment options.

The data processed by payment service providers includes master data such as name and address, bank details such as account numbers or credit card numbers, passwords, TANs (transaction authentication numbers) and checksums, as well as contract, amount, and recipient-related information. This information is required to process the transactions. However, the entered data is processed and stored only by the payment service providers. This means we do not receive any account or credit card information, but only confirmation or rejection of the payment. The payment service providers may transmit the data to credit agencies for identity and creditworthiness verification. For further information, please refer to the terms and conditions and privacy policies of the payment service providers.

The terms and conditions and privacy policies of the respective payment service providers apply to payment transactions and can be accessed on their respective websites or transaction applications. We also refer you to these for further information and to exercise your rights of withdrawal, access, and other data subject rights.

Business Analysis and Market Research To operate our business efficiently and to identify market trends and the needs of our contractual partners and users, we analyze the data we have on business transactions, contracts, inquiries, etc. We process inventory data, communication data, contract data, payment data, usage data, and metadata based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the DSGVO. The data subjects include contractual partners, prospective customers, customers, visitors, and users of our online services. These analyses are conducted for the purposes of business evaluations, marketing, and market research. We may consider the profiles of registered users, including information such as the services they have used. These analyses help us improve user-friendliness, optimize our services, and enhance our business efficiency. The analyses are for our internal use only and will not be disclosed externally, unless they are anonymous analyses with aggregated values. If these analyses or profiles contain personal data, they will be deleted or anonymized upon termination of the user's account, or otherwise two years after the contract was concluded. Furthermore, the overall business analyses and general trend assessments are prepared anonymously whenever possible.

Participation in Affiliate Partner Programs Within our online services, we use industry-standard tracking measures based on our legitimate interests (i.e., our interest in analyzing, optimizing, and operating our online services economically) pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO, insofar as these are necessary for the operation of the affiliate system. Below, we explain the technical background to users. The services offered by our contractual partners may also be advertised and linked on other websites (so-called affiliate links or after-buy systems, for example, when links or services from third parties are offered after a contract has been concluded). The operators of the respective websites receive a commission if users follow the affiliate links and subsequently take advantage of the offers. In summary, it is necessary for our online services that we can track whether users who are interested in affiliate links and/or the offers available on our platform subsequently take advantage of the offers as a result of clicking on the affiliate links or using our online platform. For this purpose, the affiliate links and our offers are supplemented with certain values, which can be part of the link itself or set elsewhere, e.g., in a cookie. These values ​​include, in particular, the referring website, the time, an online identifier of the operator of the website where the affiliate link was located, an online identifier of the respective offer, an online identifier of the user, as well as tracking-specific values ​​such as advertising material ID, partner ID, and categorizations. The online identifiers we use for users are pseudonymous. This means that the online identifiers themselves do not contain any personal data such as names or email addresses. They only help us determine whether the same user who clicked on an affiliate link or showed interest in an offer via our online platform has actually taken advantage of the offer, i.e., e.g., concluded a contract with the provider. However, the online identifier is considered personal data insofar as the partner company and we ourselves have access to the online identifier along with other user data. This is the only way the partner company can inform us whether the user has taken advantage of the offer and, for example, allow us to pay out the bonus.

Data Protection Notice for the Application Process We process applicant data only for the purpose and within the scope of the application process in accordance with legal requirements. The processing of applicant data is carried out to fulfill our (pre-)contractual obligations within the framework of the application process in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO and Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO if data processing becomes necessary for us, for example, in the context of legal proceedings (in Germany, Section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) also applies). The application process requires applicants to provide us with their application data. The necessary application data is marked accordingly if we offer an online form; otherwise, it can be found in the job descriptions. This data generally includes personal information, postal and contact addresses, and application documents such as cover letters, resumes, and certificates. Applicants may also voluntarily provide us with additional information. By submitting their application to us, applicants consent to the processing of their data for the purposes of the application process in accordance with the type and scope set out in this data protection notice. The application process requires applicants to provide us with their application data. If, during the application process, special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9(1) DSGVO are voluntarily disclosed, their processing is additionally carried out in accordance with Article 9(2)(b) DSGVO (e.g., health data, such as information regarding severe disability or ethnic origin). If, during the application process, special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9(1) DSGVO are requested from applicants, their processing is additionally carried out in accordance with Article 9(2)(a) DSGVO (e.g., health data if required for the performance of the job). If available, applicants can submit their applications to us using an online form on our website. The data is transmitted to us using state-of-the-art encryption. Applicants can also submit their applications via email. However, please note that emails are generally not encrypted, and applicants are responsible for ensuring encryption themselves. We therefore cannot assume responsibility for the transmission of applications between the sender and their receipt on our server and recommend using an online form or sending them by post. Applicants still have the option of sending their applications by mail instead of using the online form and email. If an application is successful, the data provided by the applicant may be processed by us for the purposes of the employment relationship. Otherwise, if the application for a job offer is unsuccessful, the applicant's data will be deleted. Applicant data will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn, which applicants are entitled to do at any time. Subject to a legitimate objection from the applicant, the data will be deleted after a period of six months so that we can answer any follow-up questions regarding the application and comply with our obligations under the Equal Treatment Act. Invoices for any travel expense reimbursements will be archived in accordance with tax regulations.

Registration Function Users can create a user account. During registration, users are informed of the required mandatory information, which is processed in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b of the DSGVO for the purpose of providing the user account. The processed data includes, in particular, login information (name, password, and email address). The data entered during registration is used for the purposes of using the user account and its intended purpose. Users may be informed by email about information relevant to their user account, such as technical changes. If users have terminated their user account, their data relating to the user account will be deleted, subject to any statutory retention obligations. It is the users' responsibility to back up their data before the end of the contract if they have terminated their account. We are entitled to irretrievably delete all user data stored during the contract period. When you use our registration and login functions, as well as your user account, we store your IP address and the time of each action. This storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the user's interest in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. We generally do not share this data with third parties, unless it is necessary for pursuing our claims or we are legally obligated to do so pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. IP addresses are anonymized or deleted after 7 days at the latest. Contacting Us When you contact us (e.g., via contact form, email, telephone, or social media), your information will be processed to handle your inquiry and its resolution in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b (within the framework of contractual/pre-contractual relationships) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f (other inquiries) DSGVO. Your information may be stored in a customer relationship management system ("CRM system") or a comparable system for managing inquiries. ... We delete inquiries when they are no longer needed. We review the necessity of retaining inquiries every two years; statutory archiving obligations also apply.

Newsletter The following information explains the content of our newsletter, the registration, distribution, and statistical analysis procedures, as well as your rights to object. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to receive it and to the procedures described. Newsletter Content: We send newsletters, emails, and other electronic notifications containing promotional information (hereinafter "newsletter") only with the recipient's consent or based on legal permission. If the newsletter's content is specifically described during the registration process, this description is decisive for the user's consent. Otherwise, our newsletters contain information about our services and our company. Double Opt-In and Logging: Registration for our newsletter uses a double opt-in process. This means that after registering, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary to prevent anyone from subscribing using someone else's email address. Newsletter subscriptions are logged to document the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the registration and confirmation times, as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored with the email service provider are also logged. Registration data: To subscribe to the newsletter, you only need to provide your email address. Optionally, we ask you to provide a name for personalized addressing in the newsletter. The newsletter is sent, and its performance is measured, based on the recipients' consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 DSGVO in conjunction with Section 7 para. 2 no. 3 of the German Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG), or, if consent is not required, based on our legitimate interests in direct marketing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO in conjunction with Section 7 para. 3 UWG. The registration process is logged based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our focus is on using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and meets user expectations, while also allowing us to document consent. Unsubscribe/Revocation – You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time, i.e., revoke your consent. You will find an unsubscribe link at the end of each newsletter. 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 defending against potential claims. An individual deletion request is possible at any time, provided that the prior existence of consent is confirmed.

Collection of Access Data and Log Files We, or rather our hosting provider, collect data about every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files) based on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Access data includes the name of the accessed website, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address, and the requesting provider. Log file information is stored for a maximum of 7 days for security reasons (e.g., to investigate misuse or fraud) and then deleted. Data whose further retention is required for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the final resolution of the respective incident. Online Presence on Social Media We maintain an online presence on social networks and platforms to communicate with customers, prospective customers, and users active there and to inform them about our services. Furthermore, user data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created based on usage patterns and the resulting user interests. These user profiles can then be used to display advertisements, both on and off the platforms, that are likely to correspond to the users' interests. For these purposes, cookies are typically stored on users' computers, recording their usage patterns and interests. Additionally, user profiles may also store data independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in). The processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effectively informing and communicating with users, pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. If users are asked by the respective platform providers for their consent to the aforementioned data processing, the legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7 of the DSGVO. For a detailed description of the respective processing activities and the options for objecting (opting out), please refer to the information provided by the providers linked below.

Regarding requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would like to point out that these can be most effectively addressed directly with the providers. Only the providers have access to user data and can take appropriate action and provide information directly.
