You have the option of subscribing to our newsletter, in which we will regularly inform you about innovations to our products, services and promotions. For ordering our newsletters we use the so-called double opt-in procedure, i.e. we will only send you newsletters by e-mail if you confirm in our notification e-mail by clicking on a link that you are the owner of the specified e-mail address. If you confirm your e-mail address, we will store your e-mail address, the time of registration and the IP address used for registration until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. The storage serves the sole purpose of sending you the newsletter and to be able to prove your registration. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. A corresponding unsubscribe link can be found in every newsletter. A message to the contact details provided above or in the newsletter (e.g. by e-mail or letter) is of course also sufficient for this purpose. The legal basis for the processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a DSGVO. We use standard market technologies in our newsletters with which the interactions with the newsletters can be measured (e.g. opening of the email, links clicked on). We use this data in pseudonymous form for general statistical evaluations and for the optimization and further development of our content and customer communication. This is done with the help of small graphics embedded in the newsletter (so-called pixels). The data is collected exclusively pseudonymously and is not linked to your other personal data. The legal basis for this is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a DSGVO. We want to share content that is as relevant as possible for our customers and interested parties via our newsletter and better understand what readers are actually interested in. If you do not want the analysis of usage behaviour, you can unsubscribe from the newsletters or deactivate graphics in your email program by default. The data on interaction with our newsletters is stored pseudonymously for 30 days and then completely anonymized.
Sendinblue (formerly Newsletter2Go) is used as the newsletter software. Your data will be transmitted to Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany. You can find more information under 5. "Data transfer".

A passing on of the data raised by us takes place in principle only, if:
- you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a DSGVO,
- the disclosure is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not having your data disclosed,
- we are legally obliged to pass on data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. c DSGVO or
- this is legally permissible and necessary according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the processing of contractual relationships with you or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, which take place upon your request.

Part of the data processing may be carried out by our service providers. In addition to the service providers mentioned in this privacy policy, this may include, in particular, data centres that store our website and databases, software providers, IT service providers that maintain our systems, agencies, market research companies and consultancies. If we pass on data to our service providers, they may only use the data to fulfil their tasks. The service providers have been carefully selected and commissioned by us. They are contractually bound to our instructions, have suitable technical and organisational measures in place to protect the rights of the data subjects and are regularly monitored by us.

In addition, disclosure may occur in connection with official inquiries, court orders and legal proceedings if it is necessary for legal prosecution or enforcement.

 

As explained in this privacy policy, we use services whose providers are partly located in so-called third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) or process personal data there, i.e. countries whose level of data protection does not correspond to that of the European Union. Where this is the case and the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR) for these countries, we have taken appropriate precautions to ensure an adequate level of data protection for any data transfers. These include, among others, the standard contractual clauses of the European Union or binding internal data protection regulations.
Where this is not possible, we base the transfer of data on exceptions of Art. 49 DSGVO, in particular your explicit consent or the necessity of the transfer for the performance of the contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
If a third country transfer is provided for and no adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards are in place, it is possible and there is a risk that authorities in the respective third country (e.g. intelligence services) may gain access to the transferred data in order to collect and analyse it and that the enforceability of your data subject rights cannot be guaranteed. When obtaining your consent via the cookie banner, you will also be informed of this.

 

In principle, we store personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected the data. Thereafter, we delete the data immediately, unless we still need the data until the expiry of the statutory limitation period for evidence purposes for civil claims or due to statutory retention obligations.
For evidence purposes, we must retain contractual data for three years from the end of the year in which the business relationship with you ends. Any claims become statute-barred at the earliest on this date in accordance with the statutory limitation period.
Even after this, we still have to store some of your data for accounting reasons. We are obliged to do so because of legal documentation obligations that may arise from the German Commercial Code, the German Fiscal Code, the German Banking Act, the German Money Laundering Act and the German Securities Trading Act. The periods specified there for the retention of documents are two to ten years.

 

You are entitled to the data subject rights formulated in Art. 15 - 21, Art. 77 DSGVO at any time
Right to withdraw your consent;
-- Right to object to the processing of your personal data (Art. 21 DSGVO);
-- Right to information about your personal data processed by us (Art. 15 DSGVO);
-- Right to rectification of your personal data stored by us that is incorrect (Art. 16 DSGVO);
-- Right to erasure of your personal data (Art. 17 DSGVO);
-- Right to restrict the processing of your personal data (Art. 18 DSGVO);
-- Right to data portability of your personal data (Art. 20 DSGVO);
-- Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR).

level of data protection. Provided that the respective legal requirements are met, we will comply with your data protection request. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f DSGVO, based on our interest in defending against any civil claims under Art. 82 DSGVO, avoiding fines under Art. 83 DSGVO and fulfilling our accountability obligations under Art. 5 (2) DSGVO.

You have the right to revoke your consent at any time. This has the consequence that we no longer continue the data processing based on this consent for the future. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. Insofar as we process your data on the basis of legitimate interests, you have the right to object to the processing of your data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. If it is a matter of objecting to data processing for direct marketing purposes, you have a general right of objection, which will also be implemented by us without giving reasons. If you would like to make use of your right of revocation or objection, it is sufficient to send an informal message to the contact data mentioned above.

Finally, you have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority. You can exercise this right at a supervisory authority in the member state of your residence, your workplace or the location of the alleged violation. In Berlin, our headquarters, the competent supervisory authority is: Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, Friedrichstr. 219, 10969 Berlin.
