Collaboration with processors, joint controllers and third parties
If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors, joint controllers or third parties), transmit it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is done only on the basis of a legal permission (e.g. if the transfer of data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary for the performance of a contract), if users have consented, if a legal obligation requires it or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).

Cookies and the right to object to direct marketing
Als „Cookies“ werden kleine Dateien bezeichnet, die auf Rechnern der Nutzer gespeichert werden. Innerhalb der Cookies können unterschiedliche Angaben gespeichert werden. Ein Cookie dient primär dazu, die Angaben zu einem Nutzer (bzw. dem Gerät auf dem das Cookie gespeichert ist) während oder auch nach seinem Besuch innerhalb eines Onlineangebotes zu speichern. Als temporäre Cookies, bzw. „Session-Cookies“ oder „transiente Cookies“, werden Cookies bezeichnet, die gelöscht werden, nachdem ein Nutzer ein Onlineangebot verlässt und seinen Browser schließt. In einem solchen Cookie kann z.B. der Inhalt eines Warenkorbs in einem Onlineshop oder ein Login-Status gespeichert werden. Als „permanent“ oder „persistent“ werden Cookies bezeichnet, die auch nach dem Schließen des Browsers gespeichert bleiben. So kann z.B. der Login-Status gespeichert werden, wenn die Nutzer diese nach mehreren Tagen aufsuchen. Ebenso können in einem solchen Cookie die Interessen der Nutzer gespeichert werden, die für Reichweitenmessung oder Marketingzwecke verwendet werden. Als „Third-Party-Cookie“ werden Cookies bezeichnet, die von anderen Anbietern als dem Verantwortlichen, der das Onlineangebot betreibt, angeboten werden (andernfalls, wenn es nur dessen Cookies sind spricht man von „First-Party Cookies“).
We may use temporary and permanent cookies, and we explain this in our privacy policy.
If we ask users for their consent to the use of cookies (e.g., as part of a cookie consent banner), the legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Otherwise, users' personal data processed via cookies is handled in accordance with the following explanations within this privacy policy, based on our legitimate interests (i.e., our interest in analyzing, optimizing, and operating our online services economically, as defined in Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), or if the use of cookies is necessary for the performance of our contractual obligations, pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, or if the use of cookies is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority, pursuant to Article 6(1)(e) GDPR.
If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Saved cookies can be deleted in the browser's system settings. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this online offer.
You can generally object to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes with many services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, you can prevent the storage of cookies by disabling them in your browser settings. Please note that this may prevent you from using all the features of this website.
Deletion of data
The data we process will be deleted or its processing restricted in accordance with legal requirements. Unless expressly stated otherwise in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no legal obligations to retain it.
Unless the data is deleted because it is required for other legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means the data will be blocked and not processed for any other purpose. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons.
Changes and updates to the privacy policy
We ask that you regularly review the content of our privacy policy. We will update the privacy policy as soon as changes to our data processing activities make this necessary. We will inform you if any changes require action on your part (e.g., consent) or any other individual notification.
Business-related processing
In addition, we process
- contract data (e.g., subject matter of the contract, term, customer category).
- payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history)
from our customers, prospective customers, and business partners for the purpose of providing contractual services, customer service and support, marketing, advertising, and market research.
Agency services
We process our clients' data as part of our contractual services, which include conceptual and strategic consulting, campaign planning, software and design development/consulting or maintenance, campaign and process implementation/handling, server administration, data analysis/consulting services, and training services.
In doing so, we process master data (e.g., client master data such as names or addresses), contact data (e.g., email addresses, telephone numbers), content data (e.g., text entries, photographs, videos), contract data (e.g., subject matter of the contract, term), payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history), and usage and metadata (e.g., for the evaluation and performance measurement of marketing activities). We generally do not process special categories of personal data unless they are part of a commissioned processing activity. Data subjects include our clients, prospective clients, and their customers, users, website visitors, or employees, as well as other third parties. The purpose of the processing is to provide contractual services, billing, and customer support. The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (contractual performance) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (analysis, statistics, optimization, security measures). We process data that is necessary for establishing and fulfilling contractual obligations and indicate when providing this data is mandatory. Disclosure to external parties only occurs when necessary for the execution of a contract. When processing data entrusted to us within the scope of a contract, we act in accordance with the instructions of the client and the legal requirements for data processing on behalf of a controller pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, and we do not process the data for any purposes other than those stipulated in the contract.
We delete the data after the expiry of statutory warranty periods and comparable obligations. The necessity of retaining the data is reviewed every three years; in the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion occurs after their expiry (6 years, pursuant to Section 257 para. 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), 10 years, pursuant to Section 147 para. 1 of the German Fiscal Code (AO)). In the case of data disclosed to us by the client within the scope of a contract, we delete the data in accordance with the specifications of the contract, generally after the end of the contract.
External payment service providers
We use external payment service providers through whose platforms users and we can carry out payment transactions. These payment service providers may include, each with a link to the data protection declaration: Paypal (https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full), Klarna (https://www.klarna.com/de/datenschutz/), Skrill (https://www.skrill.com/de/fusszeile/datenschutzpolizei/), Giropay (https://www.giropay.de/rechts/datenschutz-agb/), Visa (https://www.visa.de/datenschutz), Mastercard (https://www.mastercard.de/de-de/datenschutz.html), American Express (https://www.americanexpress.com/de/content/privacy-policy-statement.html), Stripe (https://stripe.com/de/privacy).
In order to fulfill our contractual obligations, we use payment service providers based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we use external payment service providers based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR to offer our users effective and secure payment options.
The data processed by the payment service providers includes master data, such as name and address, bank details, such as account numbers or credit card numbers, passwords, TANs and checksums, as well as contract, amount, and recipient-related information. This information is necessary to process the transactions. However, the entered data is processed and stored only by the payment service providers. This means we do not receive any account or credit card information, but only confirmation or rejection of the payment. The payment service providers may transmit the data to credit reference agencies. This transmission is for the purpose of identity and creditworthiness checks. Please refer to the terms and conditions and privacy policies of the payment service providers for further information.
The terms and conditions and privacy policies of the respective payment service providers apply to payment transactions. These can be accessed on their respective websites or transaction applications. We also refer you to these documents for further information and to exercise your rights of withdrawal, access, and other data subject rights.
Administration, financial accounting, office organization, contact management
We process data for administrative tasks, the organization of our business operations, financial accounting, and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In doing so, we process the same data that we process when providing our contractual services. The legal bases for this processing are Article 6(1)(c) and (f) of the GDPR. Customers, prospective customers, business partners, and website visitors are affected by this processing. The purpose of and our legitimate interest in this processing lies in administration, financial accounting, office organization, and data archiving—tasks that serve to maintain our business operations, fulfill our obligations, and provide our services. The deletion of data relating to contractual services and contractual communication is carried out in accordance with the information provided for these processing activities.
We disclose or transmit data to the tax authorities, consultants such as tax advisors or auditors, as well as other fee-collecting agencies and payment service providers.
Furthermore, based on our legitimate business interests, we store information about suppliers, event organizers, and other business partners, e.g., for later contact. We generally store this predominantly business-related data permanently.
Participation in affiliate partner programs
Within our online services, we use industry-standard tracking measures based on our legitimate interests (i.e., our interest in analyzing, optimizing, and operating our online services economically) pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, insofar as these are necessary for the operation of the affiliate system. Below, we explain the technical background to users.
The services offered by our contractual partners may also be advertised and linked on other websites (so-called affiliate links or after-buy systems, for example, when links or services from third parties are offered after a contract has been concluded). The operators of the respective websites receive a commission if users follow the affiliate links and subsequently take advantage of the offers.
In summary, it is necessary for our online services that we can track whether users who are interested in affiliate links and/or the offers available on our platform subsequently take advantage of the offers as a result of clicking on the affiliate links or using our online platform. For this purpose, the affiliate links and our offers are supplemented with certain values, which can be part of the link itself or set elsewhere, e.g., in a cookie. These values ​​include, in particular, the referring website, the time, an online identifier of the operator of the website where the affiliate link was located, an online identifier of the respective offer, an online identifier of the user, as well as tracking-specific values ​​such as advertising material ID, partner ID, and categorizations.
The online identifiers we use for users are pseudonymous. This means that the online identifiers themselves do not contain any personal data such as names or email addresses. They only help us determine whether the same user who clicked on an affiliate link or showed interest in an offer via our online platform has actually taken advantage of the offer, i.e., concluded a contract with the provider. However, the online identifier is considered personal data insofar as the partner company and we ourselves have access to the online identifier along with other user data. This is the only way the partner company can inform us whether the user has taken advantage of the offer and, for example, allow us to pay out the bonus.
Amazon-Partnerprogramm
Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f.

When you contact us (e.g., via contact form, email, telephone, or social media), your information will be processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b (within the framework of contractual/pre-contractual relationships) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f (other inquiries) of the GDPR for the purpose of processing and handling your inquiry. Your information may be stored in a customer relationship management system ("CRM system") or a comparable system for managing inquiries.

Hosting and email delivery
The hosting services we use serve to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, email delivery, security services, and technical maintenance services, which we use for the purpose of operating this online service.
In this process, we, or our hosting provider, process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, and meta and communication data of customers, prospective customers, and visitors to this online service based on our legitimate interests in the efficient and secure provision of this online service pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR (conclusion of a data processing agreement).
Collection of access data and log files
We, or rather our hosting provider, collect data about every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files) based on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Access data includes the name of the accessed website, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address, and the requesting provider.
Log file information is stored for a maximum of 7 days for security reasons (e.g., to investigate misuse or fraud) and then deleted. Data whose further retention is required for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the final resolution of the respective incident.
StatCounter
We use the web analytics service StatCounter, provided by StatCounter, Guinness Enterprise Centre, Taylor's Lane, Dublin 8, Ireland.
StatCounter is an online service that helps us understand our visitors; for example, how visitors find our website, how long they stay on our website, which pages interest them most, etc. We use StatCounter because a better understanding of how visitors interact with our website helps us improve its content, design, and functionality. This allows us to offer our visitors a better online experience.
StatCounter uses cookies and other technologies to collect data about visitors and their activity on our website in a user profile. This data includes:
- time and date of visit (this can help us identify and plan visits to our website);
- IP address (this is a numerical label assigned to a device by an Internet service provider so that the device can access the Internet);
- Browser and operating system (this can help us to ensure that our website functions correctly in the browsers/operating systems used to access our website);
- Device information such as device type and screen size (this can help us ensure that our website functions correctly in the devices used to access our website);
- References to data such as a search engine link (this can help us understand which search engines help visitors find our website);
When you visit our website, a StatCounter cookie (called "is_unique") may also be stored in your browser. This cookie is used solely to determine whether you are a first-time or returning visitor and to estimate unique visits to the website.
If we request user consent (e.g., as part of a cookie consent banner), the legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Otherwise, users' personal data is processed based on our legitimate interests (i.e., our interest in analyzing, optimizing, and operating our online services economically, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Further information on data processing by StatCounter can be found in the provider's privacy policy: https://statcounter.com/about/legal/#privacy
You can also opt out of data collection by StatCounter here: http://statcounter.com/about/set-refusal-cookie/.
Online presence on social media
We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms to communicate with customers, prospects, and users active there and to inform them about our services.
Please note that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may pose risks for users, as it could, for example, make it more difficult to enforce their rights. With regard to US providers certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they are thereby obligated to comply with EU data protection standards.
Furthermore, user data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created based on usage patterns and the resulting user interests. These user profiles can then be used to display advertisements, both on and off the platforms, that are likely to correspond to the users' interests. For these purposes, cookies are typically stored on users' computers, recording their usage patterns and interests. Furthermore, data can also be stored in the usage profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).
The processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effectively informing users and communicating with users in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR. If the users are asked by the respective platform providers for their consent to the data processing described above, the legal basis for the processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a., Article 7 GDPR.
For a detailed description of the respective processing and the objection options (opt-out), we refer to the information provided by the providers linked below.
Even in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would like to point out that these can most effectively be asserted with the providers. Only the providers have access to user data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, you can contact us.

Integration of third-party services and content
Within our online services, we use content or service offerings from third-party providers based on our legitimate interests (i.e., our interest in analyzing, optimizing, and operating our online services economically, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter referred to collectively as "Content").
This always requires that the third-party providers of this Content are aware of the users' IP addresses, as they cannot send the Content to their browsers without the IP address. The IP address is therefore necessary for displaying this Content. We strive to use only Content from providers who use the IP address solely for delivering the Content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. These pixel tags allow information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website to be analyzed. The pseudonymous information can also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may include, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information about the use of our online service, as well as be combined with such information from other sources.
Use of Facebook Social Plugins
Based on our legitimate interests (i.e., our interest in analyzing, optimizing, and operating our online services economically, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), we use social plugins ("plugins") from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").
These plugins may include content such as images, videos, or text, as well as buttons that allow users to share content from this website within Facebook. The list and appearance of the Facebook social plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Framework and thus guarantees compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).
When a user accesses a feature of this online service that contains such a plugin, their device establishes a direct connection to Facebook's servers. The plugin's content is transmitted directly from Facebook to the user's device and integrated into the online service. Usage profiles of users can be created from the processed data. We therefore have no control over the scope of data that Facebook collects using this plugin and are informing users accordingly, based on our current knowledge.
By integrating these plugins, Facebook receives information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of our website. If the user is logged into Facebook, Facebook can associate the visit with their Facebook account.
