4. Definitions and Principles

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (e.g. name, email address, telephone number, online identifiers such as IP address).

In particular, we observe the principles for processing personal data as set out in Article 5 GDPR, including purpose limitation, data minimisation, accuracy, integrity, and confidentiality.

5. Legal Bases for Processing

We process personal data only where a legal basis exists, in particular:

• Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR – Consent

• Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR – Performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures

• Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR – Legal obligation

• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – Legitimate interest

Additionally – Access to terminal equipment / cookies:

Where we store or access information on end-user devices (e.g. cookies, local storage, tags), the provisions of the German Telecommunications-Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG) also apply.

6. Hosting and Access Data (Server Log Files)

Our website is technically hosted by:

IONOS SE

Elgendorfer Str. 57

56410 Montabaur

Germany

6.1 Access Data Processed

When visiting the website, the server automatically processes so-called server log files, including:

• visited website / accessed page or file

• time and date of access

• amount of data transmitted (bytes)

• source/referrer URL from which you accessed the page (if transmitted)

• browser type and version

• operating system used

• IP address

6.2 Purpose and Legal Basis

The processing is carried out for:

• the technical provision of the website

• operational and IT security (e.g. defence against attacks, detection of misuse)

• error analysis and system stability improvement

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest).

We reserve the right to subsequently review log files if there are concrete indications of unlawful use or security incidents.

6.3 Data Processing Agreement

If IONOS obtains access to personal data within the scope of hosting services, this takes place under a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR).

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

7.1 General Information

Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your device. Comparable technologies (e.g. local storage, pixels, tags) may also be used.

7.2 Categories

a) Technically Necessary Technologies

These are required to provide the website in a functional and secure manner (e.g. basic navigation, security functions, possibly storing cookie preferences if a consent tool is used).

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Access to terminal equipment is permitted under the TDDDG where strictly necessary.

b) Optional Technologies (Statistics / Marketing / External Media)

Such technologies (e.g. web analytics, marketing tracking, integration of external media such as YouTube) are used only with prior consent, if implemented.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with the TDDDG.

7.3 Consent / Voluntariness / Cookie Walls

Consent must be voluntary, informed, and explicit. Access to a service should generally not be made conditional upon consent to device access (so-called “cookie walls” are typically incompatible with the requirement of voluntariness).

7.4 Browser Settings

You can prevent the storage of cookies through your browser settings or delete cookies that have already been stored. Please note that disabling technically necessary cookies may result in the website not functioning properly or only with limitations.

8. Processing of Personal Data (General Principle)

We collect, process, and use personal data only:

• where necessary for the provision of the website or our services,

• where permitted by law, or

• where you have given your consent.

9. Contacting Us

If you contact us (e.g. by email or telephone), we process your information in order to handle and respond to your request.

Categories of data:

e.g. name, contact details, content of the request, possibly company affiliation.

Purposes:

communication, processing of the request, and possibly initiation or fulfilment of contractual relationships.

Legal basis:

• Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual/contractual communication) and/or

• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (general correspondence and organisational purposes).

Personal data will generally only be disclosed to third parties if this is necessary (e.g. IT service providers acting as processors) or if a corresponding legal basis exists.

10. Microsoft Forms (e.g. Customer Satisfaction Surveys)

We use Microsoft Forms (Microsoft 365) to conduct surveys or data collections (e.g. customer satisfaction surveys).

Possible data categories (depending on the form):

• responses (ratings, free-text answers, selection fields)

• contact data, if requested or voluntarily provided (name, email address, company)

• technical metadata (e.g. timestamps, form/response IDs)

Purpose:

conducting and evaluating surveys, improving service and quality, and possibly contacting respondents if contact details are provided.

Legal basis:

usually Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent), especially if personal information is collected.

Alternatively Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR may apply if surveys are conducted without identifiable data and after a balancing of interests.

Recipients / Processing:

Microsoft may act as a data processor.

Third-country transfer:

Depending on configuration, processing outside the EEA cannot be ruled out. Such transfers take place only in accordance with Articles 44 et seq. GDPR (see section 13).

11. Google Analytics (Web Analytics) – if used, only with consent

Where web analytics are used, this may be done through Google Analytics (GA4).

Provider (EU):

Google Ireland Limited

Dublin, Ireland

Purpose:

analysis of website usage and improvement of content and functionality.

Legal basis:

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent) in conjunction with the TDDDG (device access).

Third-country transfers:

Processing in third countries (especially the United States) cannot be excluded. Transfers occur only if the requirements of Articles 44 et seq. GDPR are fulfilled, for example:

• EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) where the recipient is certified, or

• EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and, where necessary, additional safeguards.

Withdrawal of consent:

Consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

12. Social Media Plugins / External Content (LinkedIn, XING, YouTube)

Our website may contain functions, content, or links to third-party providers (e.g. LinkedIn, XING, YouTube). Depending on how they are integrated, loading the page may already establish a connection to the providers’ servers, which may result in the processing of data such as the IP address or device information.

• Simple linking:

usually Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in public relations and information).

• Active integration (plugins/embeds) triggering device access or tracking:

only with prior consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR + TDDDG).

Note regarding Privacy Shield:

The former EU-US Privacy Shield is no longer a valid legal basis. Instead, the mechanisms under Articles 44 et seq. GDPR apply.

13. Recipients and Transfers to Third Countries (Art. 44 et seq. GDPR)

We use service providers (e.g. hosting, Microsoft 365). They receive data only to the extent necessary for the provision of their services and based on contractual agreements (in particular data processing agreements).

Transfers to third countries outside the EEA take place only if an adequate level of data protection is ensured, for example through:

• an adequacy decision (e.g. EU-US Data Privacy Framework where certified), or

• Standard Contractual Clauses and, where necessary, additional safeguards.

14. Storage Period / Deletion

We process and store personal data only for as long as necessary for the respective purposes. Data may also be stored where statutory retention obligations apply or where this is required for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
