Relevant Legal Bases

Below, we inform you of the legal bases of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on which we process personal data. Please note that, in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection requirements in your or our country of residence or registered office may apply. If more specific legal bases are relevant in individual cases, we will inform you of these in the privacy policy.

  • Consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR) - The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
  • Performance of a contract and pre-contractual enquiries (Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. b. GDPR) - Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
  • Legitimate interests (Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. f. GDPR) - 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 the protection of personal data.

National data protection regulations in Germany: In addition to the data protection regulations of the General Data Protection Regulation, national data protection regulations apply in Germany. These include, in particular, the Act to Protect Against the Misuse of Personal Data in Data Processing (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz – BDSG). The BDSG contains, in particular, special provisions on the right to information, the right to erasure, the right to object, 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, it regulates data processing for purposes of the employment relationship (§ 26 BDSG), in particular with regard to the establishment, performance, or termination of employment relationships as well as the consent of employees. In addition, the data protection laws of the individual federal states (Länder) may apply.

Security Measures

In accordance with the statutory requirements, 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 organisational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

The measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as the access to, entry, disclosure, availability, and separation thereof. We have also established procedures to ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the erasure of data, and responses to threats to the data. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account as early as the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection through technology design and through data-protection-friendly default settings.

Transfer and Disclosure of Personal Data

In the course of our processing of personal data, it may occur that the data is transferred to other bodies, companies, legally independent organisational units, or persons, or disclosed to them. Recipients of this data may include, for example, payment institutions in the context of payment transactions, service providers commissioned with IT tasks, or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with the statutory requirements and, in particular, conclude corresponding contracts or agreements that serve to protect your data with the recipients of your data.

Data Processing in Third Countries

Insofar as we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or the processing takes place in the context of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to other persons, bodies, or companies, this only takes place in accordance with the statutory requirements.

Subject to express consent or transfer required by contract or law, we only process, or have processed, data in third countries with a recognised level of data protection, a contractual obligation through so-called standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission, the existence of certifications, or binding internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR, information page of the EU Commission: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_de ).

Use of Cookies

Cookies are text files that contain data from visited websites or domains and are stored by a browser on the user's computer. A cookie primarily serves to store information about a user during or after their visit within an online offering. The stored information may include, for example, the language settings on a website, login status, a shopping cart, or the point at which a video was watched. We also include under the term cookies other technologies that perform the same functions as cookies (e.g., when user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also referred to as "user IDs")

The following types and functions of cookies are distinguished:

  • Temporary cookies (also: session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online offering and closed their browser.
  • Persistent cookies: Persistent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved, or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. Likewise, the interests of users, which are used for reach measurement or marketing purposes, can be stored in such a cookie.
  • First-party cookies: First-party cookies are set by us ourselves.
  • Third-party cookies (also: third-party provider cookies): Third-party cookies are mainly used by advertisers (so-called third parties) to process user information.
  • Necessary (also: essential or strictly necessary) cookies: Cookies may, on the one hand, be strictly necessary for the operation of a website (e.g., to save logins or other user input, or for security reasons).
  • Statistics, marketing, and personalisation cookies: Furthermore, cookies are generally also used in the context of reach measurement as well as when a user's interests or behaviour (e.g., viewing certain content, using functions, etc.) on individual websites are stored in a user profile. Such profiles serve, for example, to display content to users that corresponds to their potential interests. This procedure is also referred to as "tracking", i.e., tracing the potential interests of users. Insofar as we use cookies or "tracking" technologies, we will inform you separately in our privacy policy or in the context of obtaining consent.

Information on legal bases: The legal basis on which we process your personal data with the help of cookies depends on whether we ask you for consent. If this is the case and you consent to the use of cookies, the legal basis for processing your data is the consent given. Otherwise, the data processed with the help of cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g., in the economic operation of our online offering and its improvement) or, if the use of cookies is necessary, in order to fulfil our contractual obligations.

Storage period: Unless we provide you with explicit information on the storage period of persistent cookies (e.g., in the context of a so-called cookie opt-in), please assume that the storage period may be up to two years.

General information on withdrawal and objection (opt-out): Depending on whether the processing is based on consent or legal permission, you have the option at any time to withdraw consent given or to object to the processing of your data by cookie technologies (collectively referred to as "opt-out"). You can initially declare your objection by means of your browser settings, e.g., by disabling the use of cookies (although this may also restrict the functionality of our online offering). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be declared by means of a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. In addition, you can obtain further objection information in the context of the details on the service providers and cookies used.

Processing of cookie data on the basis of consent: Before we process, or have processed, data in the context of the use of cookies, we ask users for consent, which can be withdrawn at any time. Before consent has been given, at most cookies are used that are strictly necessary for the operation of our online offering.

  • Types of data processed: Usage data (e.g., websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses).
  • Data subjects: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
  • Legal bases: Consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR), Legitimate interests (Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. f. GDPR).

Payment Service Providers

In the context of contractual and other legal relationships, due to statutory obligations, or otherwise on the basis of our legitimate interests, we offer data subjects efficient and secure payment options and, in addition to banks and credit institutions, use other payment 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 necessary in order to carry out 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, but only information confirming or declining the payment. Under certain circumstances, the data is transmitted by the payment service providers to credit agencies. This transmission is for the purpose of identity and creditworthiness checks. In this regard, we refer to the terms and conditions and the privacy notices of the payment service providers.

The terms and conditions and privacy notices of the respective payment service providers, which are available within the respective websites or transaction applications, apply to the payment transactions. We also refer to these for further information and for the assertion of rights of withdrawal, information, and other data subject rights.

  • Types of data processed: Inventory data (e.g., names, addresses), payment data (e.g., bank details, invoices, payment history), contract data (e.g., subject matter of the contract, contract term, customer category), usage data (e.g., websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses).
  • Data subjects: Customers, prospective customers.
  • Purposes of processing: Contractual services and customer service.
  • Legal bases: Performance of a contract and pre-contractual enquiries (Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. b. GDPR), Legitimate interests (Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. f. GDPR).

Services and service providers used:

Newsletter and Electronic Notifications

We only send newsletters, emails, and other electronic notifications (hereinafter "newsletter") with the consent of the recipients or a statutory permission. Insofar as the content of the newsletter is specifically described within the framework of a newsletter registration, it is decisive for the users' consent. Otherwise, our newsletters contain information about our services and about us.

To register for our newsletters, it is generally sufficient to provide your email address. However, we may ask you to provide a name, for the purpose of personal address in the newsletter, or other information, insofar as this is necessary for the purposes of the newsletter.

Double opt-in procedure: Registration for our newsletter generally takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registering, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register using third-party email addresses. Newsletter registrations are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored with the dispatch service provider are also logged.

Erasure and restriction of processing: We may store unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before deleting them, in order to be able to prove consent previously given. The processing of this data is restricted to the purpose of a possible defence against claims. An individual request for erasure is possible at any time, provided that the former existence of consent is confirmed at the same time. In the event of obligations to permanently observe objections, we reserve the right to store the email address solely for this purpose in a blocklist.

The logging of the registration procedure is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests for the purpose of proving its proper execution. Insofar as we commission a service provider to send emails, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure dispatch system.

Information on legal bases: The newsletter is sent on the basis of the recipients' consent or, if consent is not required, on the basis of our legitimate interests in direct marketing, provided and insofar as this is permitted by law, e.g., in the case of advertising to existing customers. Insofar as we commission a service provider to send emails, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests. The registration procedure is recorded on the basis of our legitimate interests in order to prove that it was carried out in accordance with the law.

Content: Information about us, our services, promotions, and offers.

Analysis and success measurement: The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", i.e., a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server, or, if we use a dispatch service provider, from its server, when the newsletter is opened. In the course of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval, is initially collected.

This information is used for the technical improvement of our newsletter based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour on the basis of their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or the access times. This analysis also includes determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened, and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be attributed to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention nor, if used, that of the dispatch service provider, to observe individual users. Rather, the evaluations serve to help us recognise the reading habits of our users and adapt our content to them, or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

The evaluation of the newsletter and the success measurement take place, subject to the express consent of the users, on the basis of our legitimate interests for the purposes of using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system, which serves both our business interests and meets the expectations of the users.

A separate withdrawal of the success measurement is unfortunately not possible; in this case, the entire newsletter subscription must be cancelled, or objected to.

  • Types of data processed: Inventory data (e.g., names, addresses), contact data (e.g., email, telephone numbers), meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses), usage data (e.g., websites visited, interest in content, access times).
  • Data subjects: Communication partners.
  • Purposes of processing: Direct marketing (e.g., by email or post).
  • Legal bases: Consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR), Legitimate interests (Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. f. GDPR).
  • Right to object (opt-out): You can cancel receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e., withdraw your consent, or object to further receipt. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter either at the end of each newsletter, or you can otherwise use one of the contact options given above, preferably email, for this purpose.

Erasure of Data

The data processed by us is erased in accordance with the statutory requirements as soon as the consents permitting their processing are withdrawn or other permissions cease to apply (e.g., when the purpose of processing this data has ceased to apply or the data is not required for that purpose).

If the data is not erased because it is required for other, legally permissible purposes, its processing is restricted to those purposes. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons, or whose storage is necessary for the assertion, exercise, or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person.

Further information on the erasure of personal data may also be provided within the individual privacy notices of this privacy policy.

Amendment and Update of the Privacy Policy

We ask you to inform yourself regularly about the content of our privacy policy. We adapt the privacy policy as soon as the changes to the data processing carried out by us make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require an act of cooperation on your part (e.g., consent) or any other individual notification.

Insofar as we provide addresses and contact information of companies and organisations in this privacy policy, please note that the addresses may change over time and please check the information before making contact.

Rights of Data Subjects

As a data subject, you are entitled to various rights under the GDPR, which arise in particular from Art. 15 to 21 GDPR:

  • Right to object: You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. e or f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. Where personal data concerning you is processed in order to conduct direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
  • Right of withdrawal for consents: You have the right to withdraw consent given at any time.
  • Right of access: You have the right to request confirmation as to whether data concerning you is being processed, and to access such data as well as further information and a copy of the data in accordance with the statutory requirements.
  • Right to rectification: In accordance with the statutory requirements, you have the right to request the completion of data concerning you or the rectification of inaccurate data concerning you.
  • Right to erasure and restriction of processing: In accordance with the statutory requirements, you have the right to request that data concerning you be erased without delay, or, alternatively, in accordance with the statutory requirements, to request a restriction on the processing of the data.
  • Right to data portability: You have the right to receive data concerning you that you have provided to us, in accordance with the statutory requirements, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or to request its transmission to another controller.
  • Complaint to a supervisory authority: Furthermore, in accordance with the statutory requirements, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.
