Data protection

Introduction and overview

We have written this privacy policy (version 28.07.2025-113034873) in accordance with the requirements of General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and to explain to applicable national laws which personal data (data for short) we, as the controller — and the contract processors commissioned by us (e.g. providers) — process, will process in the future and what lawful options you have. The terms used are to be understood as gender-neutral. In short: We will provide you with comprehensive information about the data that we process about you.

Privacy statements usually sound very technical and use technical legal terms. This privacy policy, on the other hand, is intended to describe the most important things to you as simply and transparently as possible. As far as it is conducive to transparency, technical Terms explained in a reader-friendly way, provides links to further information, and graphics put to use. We hereby inform you in clear and simple language that we only process personal data as part of our business activities if there is a corresponding legal basis. This is certainly not possible if you provide concise, unclear and legal-technical explanations, as they are often standard on the Internet when it comes to data protection. I hope you find the following explanations interesting and informative and perhaps there is some information that you did not know yet. If you still have any questions, we would like to ask you to contact the responsible body mentioned below or in the legal notice, follow the existing links and look at further information on third-party sites. Our contact details can of course also be found in the legal notice.

Scope of application

This privacy policy applies to all personal data processed by us in the company and to all personal data that companies commissioned by us (contract processors) process. By personal data, we mean information within the meaning of Article 4 No. 1 GDPR, such as the name, e-mail address and postal address of a person. The processing of personal data ensures that we can offer and bill for our services and products, whether online or offline. The scope of this privacy statement includes:

  • all online presences (websites, online shops) that we operate
  • Social media appearances and email communication
  • mobile apps for smartphones and other devices

In short: The privacy policy applies to all areas in which personal data in the company is processed in a structured manner via the mentioned channels. Should we enter into legal relationships with you outside of these channels, we may inform you separately.

legal bases

In the following privacy policy, we provide you with transparent information on the legal principles and regulations, i.e. the legal bases of the General Data Protection Regulation, which enable us to process personal data. As far as EU law is concerned, we refer to REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27 April 2016. This EU General Data Protection Regulation can of course be found online at EUR-Lex, access to EU law, at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/ALL/?uri=celex%3A32016R0679 Read up. We only process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:

  • consent (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR): You have given us your consent to process data for a specific purpose. One example would be saving the data you entered in a contact form.
  • treaty (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. b GDPR): In order to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual obligations with you, we process your data. For example, when we conclude a purchase contract with you, we need personal information in advance.
  • Legal obligation (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. c GDPR): If we are subject to a legal obligation, we process your data. For example, we are required by law to keep invoices for accounting purposes. These usually contain personal data.
  • Legitimate interests (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR): In the case of legitimate interests that do not restrict your fundamental rights, we reserve the right to process personal data. For example, we must process certain data in order to be able to operate our website securely and economically efficiently. This processing is therefore a legitimate interest.

As a rule, we do not have any other conditions, such as the use of recordings in the public interest and the exercise of public authority and the protection of vital interests. Insofar as such a legal basis should be relevant, it will be processed in a structured manner at the appropriate indicated channels. Should we enter into legal relationships with you outside of these channels, we may inform you separately. In addition to the EU regulation, national laws also apply:

  • In austria Is this the Federal Act on the Protection of Individuals with regard to the Processing of Personal Data (Data Protection Act), short DSG.
  • In germany Does that apply Federal Data Protection Act, briefly BDSG.

If other regional or national laws apply, we will inform you about them in the following sections.

Storage period

The fact that we only store personal data for as long as is absolutely necessary to provide our services and products is a general criterion for us. This means that we delete personal data as soon as the reason for the data processing no longer exists. In some cases, we are required by law to store certain data even after the original purpose has ceased to exist, for example for accounting purposes. Should you wish to delete your data or withdraw your consent to data processing, the data will be deleted as quickly as possible and unless there is an obligation to store it. We will inform you about the specific duration of the respective data processing below, provided that we have further information about this.

Rights under the General Data Protection Regulation

In accordance with Articles 13, 14 GDPR, we inform you of the following rights that you are entitled to so that data is processed fairly and transparently:

  • According to Article 15 GDPR, you have the right to information as to whether we process your data. If this is the case, you have the right to receive a copy of the data and to know the following information: for what purpose we carry out the processing; the categories, i.e. the types of data that are processed; who receives this data and when the data is transferred to third countries, how security can be guaranteed; how long the data is stored; the existence of the right to correct, delete or restrict processing and the right to object to processing; that you yourself at a supervisory authority can complain (links to these authorities can be found below); the origin of the data if we have not collected it from you; whether profiling is carried out, i.e. whether data is automatically evaluated in order to obtain a personal profile about you.
  • According to Article 16 GDPR, you have the right to correct the data, which means that we must correct data if you find errors.
  • According to Article 17 GDPR, you have the right to delete (“right to be forgotten”), which in concrete terms means that you may request the deletion of your data.
  • According to Article 18 GDPR, you have the right to restrict processing, which means that we can only store the data but no longer use it.
  • According to Article 20 GDPR, you have the right to data portability, which means that we will provide you with your data in a common format upon request.
  • According to Article 21 GDPR, you have a right of objection, which, once enforced, entails a change in processing. If the processing of your data is based on Article 6 (1) (e) (public interest, exercise of official authority) or Article 6 (1) (f) (legitimate interest), you can object to the processing. We will then check as quickly as possible whether we can legally comply with this objection. If data is used for direct marketing purposes, you can object to this type of data processing at any time. We are then no longer allowed to use your data for direct marketing. If data is used to carry out profiling, you can object to this type of data processing at any time. We are then no longer allowed to use your data for profiling.
  • According to Article 22 GDPR, you may have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing (for example profiling).
  • According to Article 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint. This means that you can complain to the data protection authority at any time if you believe that the processing of personal data violates the GDPR.

Explanation of terms used

We always strive to make our privacy policy as clear and understandable as possible. However, this is not always easy, especially when it comes to technical and legal topics. It often makes sense to use legal terms (such as personal data) or certain technical terms (such as cookies, IP address). However, we do not want to use them without explanation. Below is an alphabetical list of important terms used, which we may not have addressed sufficiently in the previous privacy policy. If these terms have been taken from the GDPR and they are definitions, we will also quote the GDPR texts here and, if necessary, add our own explanations.

Contract processor

For the purposes of this Regulation, the term: “processor” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the person responsible; explanation: As a company and website owner, we are responsible for all data that we process from you. In addition to those responsible, there may also be so-called contract processors. This includes every company or person that processes personal data on our behalf. Contract processors can therefore include, in addition to service providers such as tax consultants, hosting or cloud providers, payment or newsletter providers or large companies such as Google or Microsoft.

consent

Definition under Article 4 of the GDPR. For the purposes of this Regulation, the term: “consent” by the data subject means any voluntary, informed and unambiguous statement of intent in the form of a statement or other clear affirmative act by which the data subject indicates that he or she agrees to the processing of personal data concerning him or her; Explanation: In general, websites give such consent via a cookie consent tool. I'm sure you know that. Whenever you visit a website for the first time, you will usually be asked via a banner whether you agree or consent to data processing. In most cases, you can also make individual settings and thus decide for yourself which data processing you allow and which you do not. If you do not consent, no personal data about you may be processed. In principle, consent can of course also be given in writing, i.e. not via a tool.

personal data

Definition under Article 4 of the GDPR. For the purposes of this Regulation, “personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”); identifiable is a natural person who, 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 specific characteristics, expresses the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, is the cultural or social identity of this natural person, can be identified; Explanation: Personal data is therefore all data that can identify you as a person. This usually includes data such as: name, address, e-mail address, postal address, telephone number, date of birth, identification numbers such as social security number, tax identification number, identity card number or student ID number, bank details such as account number, credit information, account balances, etc. According to the European Court of Justice (ECJ), your IP address is also considered personal data. Based on your IP address, IT experts can determine at least the approximate location of your device and then you as the connection owner. Therefore, saving an IP address also requires a legal basis within the meaning of the GDPR. There are also so-called “special categories” of personal data, which are also particularly worthy of protection. These include: racial and ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or ideological convictions, trade union membership, genetic data such as data taken from blood or saliva samples, biometric data (this is information on psychological, physical or behavioral characteristics that can identify a person).
Health data, sexual orientation or sex life data.

profiling

Definition under Article 4 of the GDPR. For the purposes of this Regulation, “profiling” means any type of automated processing of personal data that consists of using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, whereabouts or changes of location of that natural person; Explanation: When profiling various pieces of information about a person are compiled in order to find out more about that person. In the web sector, profiling is often used for advertising purposes or even for credit checks. For example, web or advertising analysis programs collect data about your behavior and interests on a website. This results in a special user profile, with the help of which advertising can be targeted at a target group.

person responsible

Definition under Article 4 of the GDPR. For the purposes of this Regulation, “controller” means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law; explanation : In our case, we are responsible for processing your personal data and are therefore the “responsible person”. When we share collected data with other service providers for processing, these are “contract processors.” For this, an “Order Processing Agreement (AVV)” must be signed.

workmanship

Definition under Article 4 of the GDPR. For the purposes of this Regulation, “processing” means any process or series of operations carried out with or without the aid of automated processes relating to personal data, such as the collection, collection, organization, ordering, storage, adjustment or modification, reading, querying, using, disclosure through transmission, dissemination or other form of provision, reconciliation or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction; note: When we in When speaking of processing in our privacy policy, we mean any type of data processing.
