I. Introduction

 

This privacy policy is intended to give you, as a customer or interested party, a comprehensive overview of how and to what extent your data is collected, stored, processed, shared, and transmitted when you visit our website or use our services. It also informs you of the data protection measures we take and your available options when using our site.

Please note that third-party websites accessible via our services have their own privacy policies, which explain how they handle your data. We are not responsible or liable for the privacy practices of these third parties and strongly recommend reviewing their policies.

 

1. What Data Is Collected?

 

We process personal data only in accordance with legal requirements. This means we only process data if permitted by law—especially when necessary to fulfill contractual obligations, provide our online services, or where processing is legally required. Additionally, we process data if we have your consent or a legitimate interest (e.g., analysis, optimization, secure operation of the website, especially for reach measurement, profiling for advertising/marketing, collecting access data, and using third-party services).

 

2. Why Do We Process Personal Data?

 

The contents and works on this site created by the site operators are subject to German copyright law. Reproduction, editing, distribution, or any use beyond copyright limits requires the written consent of the respective author or creator. Downloads and copies are only permitted for private, non-commercial use.

Third-party content on this site is marked accordingly. If you become aware of a copyright infringement, please notify us. Upon notification of violations, such content will be promptly removed.

 

3. When and to What Extent Do We Process Personal Data?

 

Using our website is generally possible without providing personal data. If personal data (such as name, address, or email address) is collected on our site, it is done voluntarily whenever possible. This data will not be shared with third parties without your explicit consent.

 

3.1 Providing Contractual Services / Registration

 

We process account and contract data to fulfill our contractual obligations and services (as required by applicable data protection law).

 

3.2 Contact

 

When you contact us by email, we process your data to the extent necessary to respond to your inquiries (as required by applicable data protection law).

 

3.3 Visiting Our Website

 

When you visit our website or use our services or messaging features, we and our authorized service providers may use cookies or similar technologies. The information gathered helps us tailor our services to our users’ needs, improve performance, and enhance security. It is also used for advertising purposes.

 

4. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

 

We process personal data only with the appropriate legal basis under GDPR and FADP:

• Consent from the data subject.

• Contract fulfillment if the processing is necessary to fulfill a contract with you.

• Legal obligation where required by law.

• Vital interests if the processing is necessary to protect life or physical integrity.

• Legitimate interest if our or a third party’s legitimate interest outweighs your fundamental rights and freedoms.

•  

5. Data Deletion and Storage Period

 

Data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for its intended purpose and no legal storage obligations prevent deletion. If data is not deleted due to legal reasons, it will be restricted from further use — i.e., it will be locked and not processed for other purposes.

 

6. How Do We Protect Your Personal Data?

 

We apply physical, technical, and administrative security measures to appropriately protect your personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, and alteration. These include:

• Firewalls

• Data encryption

• Access controls

• Carefully selected server locations

We are committed to securing our systems and services.

However, you are responsible for the security and confidentiality of your passwords, account details, and registration data. It's also your responsibility to ensure the personal data we hold about you is accurate and up to date.

We are not liable for the protection of personal data shared with third parties through authorized account connections.
