Substantial legal foundations
Relevant legal bases according to the GDPR: In the following you will find an overview of the legal bases of the GDPR, on the basis of which we process personal data. Please note that in addition to the regulations of the GDPR, national data protection requirements may apply in your or our country of residence or registered office. If more specific legal bases are decisive in individual cases, we will inform you of these in the data protection declaration.
Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR) - The data subject has given his consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for a specific purpose or more specific purposes.
Performance of the contract and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR) - The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures that are carried out at the request of the data subject.
Legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c) GDPR) - The processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR) - the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject who request the protection of personal data do not prevail.
National data protection regulations in Germany: In addition to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, national regulations on data protection apply in Germany. This includes in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). The BDSG contains in particular special regulations on the right to information, the right to erasure, the right to object, the processing of special categories of personal data, the processing for other purposes and for transmission as well as automated decision-making in individual cases including profiling. Furthermore, state data protection laws of the individual federal states may apply.
Safety measures
In accordance with the legal requirements, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.
The measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling the physical and electronic access to the data as well as the access, entry, disclosure, the assurance of availability and their separation. Furthermore, we have set up procedures that guarantee the exercise of the rights of the data subject, the deletion of data and reactions to the data risk. Furthermore, we take into account the protection of personal data already in the development or Selection of hardware, software and procedures according to the principle of data protection, through technical design and through data protection-friendly default settings.
Securing online connections through TLS/SSL encryption technology (HTTPS): In order to protect the data of users transmitted through our online services from unauthorized access, we rely on TLS/SSL encryption technology. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are the cornerstones of secure data transmission on the Internet. These technologies encrypt the information transmitted between the website or app and the user's browser (or between two servers), protecting the data from unauthorized access. TLS, as the advanced and more secure version of SSL, ensures that all data transfers meet the highest security standards. If a website is secured by an SSL/TLS certificate, this is signaled by the display of HTTPS in the URL. This serves as an indicator for users that their data is transmitted securely and encrypted.
Transfer of personal data
In the context of our processing of personal data, it happens that it is transmitted to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units or persons or disclosed to them. The recipients of this data can e.g. B. service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we observe the legal requirements and in particular conclude corresponding contracts or contracts. Agreements that serve to protect your data with the recipients of your data.
International data transfers
Data processing in third countries: If we transfer data to a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or in the context of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or disclosure of the European Economic Area (EEA). Transmission of data to other persons, bodies or companies takes place (which is recognizable by the postal address of the respective provider or if the data protection declaration expressly points out that data transfer to third countries is carried out), this is always done in accordance with the legal requirements.
For data transfers to the USA, we rely primarily on the Data Privacy Framework (DPF), which was recognized as a secure legal framework by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission on 10.07.2023. In addition, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with the respective providers that meet the requirements of the EU Commission and set out contractual obligations to protect your data.
This double protection ensures comprehensive protection of your data: the DPF is the primary protection layer, while the standard contractual clauses serve as additional security. If changes occur within the framework of the DPF, the standard contractual clauses take effect as a reliable relay option. In this way, we ensure that your data always remains adequately protected in the event of any political or legal changes.
With the individual service providers, we will inform you whether they are certified according to the DPF and whether standard contractual clauses exist. For more information on the DPF and a list of certified companies, please visit the U.S. Department of Commerce's website at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.
For data transfers to other third countries, appropriate security measures apply, in particular standard contractual clauses, express consents or legally required transmissions. Information on third-country transfers and applicable adequacy decisions can be found in the information offered by the EU Commission: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en? prefLang=en.
General information on data storage and deletion
We delete personal data that we process in accordance with the statutory provisions as soon as the underlying consents are revoked or there are no further legal basis for the processing. This applies to cases in which the original purpose of processing ceases to exist or the data is no longer needed. Exceptions to this regulation exist if legal obligations or special interests require longer storage or archiving of the data.
In particular, data that must be kept for commercial or tax reasons or whose storage is necessary for the legal prosecution or protection of the rights of other natural or legal persons must be archived accordingly.
Our privacy policy contains additional information on the retention and deletion of data that applies specifically to certain processing processes.
If there are several details of the retention period or deletion periods of a date, the longest period is always decisive. We process data that is no longer stored for the purpose originally intended, but due to legal requirements or other reasons, exclusively for the reasons that justify their storage.
Retention and deletion of data: The following general deadlines apply to the retention and archiving under German law:
10 years - Retention period for books and records, annual financial statements, inventories, management reports, opening balance sheet as well as the work instructions and other organizational documents required for their understanding (§ 147 para. 1 no. 1 in conjunction with 3 AO, § 257 Abs. 1 No. 1 in conjunction with 4 HGB).

3 years - Data that are necessary to take into account potential warranty and damage claims or similar contractual claims and rights, as well as to process related inquiries, based on previous business experience and common industry practices, are stored for the duration of the regular statutory limitation period of three years (§§ 195, 199 BGB).
Start of the period at the end of the year: If a period does not expressly begin on a specific date and is at least one year, it automatically begins at the end of the calendar year in which the event triggering the deadline occurred. In the case of ongoing contractual relationships, within the framework of which data are stored, the event triggering the period is the time of entry into force of the termination or other termination of the legal relationship.

Definitions of terms
This section provides an overview of the terms used in this privacy policy. Insofar as the terms are defined by law, their legal definitions apply. The following explanations, on the other hand, are primarily intended to be understood.
Employees: Employees are persons who are employed, whether as employees, employees or in similar positions. An employment relationship is a legal relationship between an employer and an employee, which is established by an employment contract or agreement. It includes the employer's obligation to pay the employee remuneration while the employee performs his work. The employment relationship includes various phases, including the justification in which the employment contract is concluded, the execution in which the employee carries out his work, and the termination when the employment relationship ends, whether by notice of termination, termination agreement or otherwise. Employee data is all information that relates to these persons and is in the context of their employment. This includes aspects such as personal identification data, identification numbers, salary and bank details, working hours, vacation entitlements, health data and performance appraisals.
Inventory data: Inventory data includes essential information necessary for the identification and management of contractual partners, user accounts, profiles and similar assignments. This data may include, among other things, personal and demographic information such as names, contact information (addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses), dates of birth and specific identifiers (user IDs). Inventory data forms the basis for any formal interaction between people and services, institutions or systems by enabling unambiguous assignment and communication.
Content data: Content data includes information generated in the course of the creation, editing, and publication of content of all kinds. This category of data may include text, images, videos, audio files, and other multimedia content published on various platforms and media. Content data is not limited to the actual content, but also includes metadata that provides information about the content itself, such as tags, descriptions, author information, and publication data
Contact details: Contact details are essential information that allow communication with people or organizations. They include, among other things Phone numbers, postal addresses and e-mail addresses, as well as communication tools such as social media handles and instant messaging identifiers.
Meta, communication and process data: Meta, communication and procedural data are categories that contain information about the way data is processed, transmitted and managed. Meta data, also known as data about data, includes information that describes the context, origin, and structure of other data. They can include information about the file size, the creation date, the author of a document, and the change history. Communication data records the exchange of information between users through various channels, such as e-mail traffic, call logs, messages in social networks and chat histories, including the people involved, timestamps and transmission routes. Process data describes the processes and operations within systems or organizations, including workflow documentation, transaction and activity logs, and audit logs used to track and review operations.
Usage data: Usage data refers to information that captures how users interact with digital products, services, or platforms. This data includes a wide range of information that shows how users use applications, what features they prefer, how long they stay on specific pages, and what paths they use to navigate through an application. Usage data may also include the frequency of use, activity timestamps, IP addresses, device information, and location data.
