3. Legal basis for our data processing
The processing of personal data can be based on various legal bases. If we need your data to fulfil a contract with you or to respond to enquiries from you regarding a contract, the legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO. If we obtain your consent for certain data processing, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. We carry out some data processing on the basis of our legitimate interest, whereby a balancing of your interests worthy of protection and our legitimate interests is always carried out. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Insofar as processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.
Below we explain how we process personal data via our website.
3.1 Data processing when calling up the website
During the mere informational use of the website, i.e. if you do not contact us via the online form or otherwise transmit information to us, we collect the following technical information (log file data):
– Operating system of the end device with which you visit our website
– browser (type, version and language settings)
– the amount of data retrieved
– the current IP address of the end device with which you visit our website
– date and time of access
– the URL of the previously visited website (referrer)
– the URL of the (sub-)page you are accessing on the website
– the Internet service provider of the accessing system
The collection of this data is technically necessary to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security. We (and our service provider) are regularly unaware of who is behind an IP address. We do not combine the data listed above with other data.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Since the collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage in log files are absolutely necessary for the operation of the website and for protection against misuse, our legitimate interest in data processing prevails at this point.3.2
3.2. Contacting us by e-mail
When you contact us by e-mail, the data you provide (your e-mail address, name and telephone number, if applicable) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions and process your requests. The legal basis in this respect is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. . Insofar as this involves information on communication channels (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number), you also consent to us contacting you via this communication channel, if necessary, in order to respond to your request. Legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can, of course, revoke this consent at any time for the future.
Your data that we have received in the course of contacting you will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected, your request has been fully processed and no further communication with you is necessary or desired by you.

Cookies can store various information, such as your language setting, the duration of your visit to our website or the entries you have made there. Cookies cannot execute programs or transfer viruses to your computer. They are used to make the website as a whole more user-friendly and effective.
4.1 Transient cookies
These cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include in particular the session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session. This enables your computer to be recognised when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.

5. Website-Provider Wix
We use the services of the website provider Wix.com Ltd, Namal 40, 6350671 Tel Aviv, Israel ("Wix"). Wix is a cloud-based online platform that allows businesses to create and host their own website. In doing so, Wix acts as a processor on our behalf for the operation and maintenance of our website. In this context, Wix receives personal data from you. We have therefore concluded a so-called data processing agreement with Wix pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.
The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The data processing by Wix is necessary for the flawless presentation of our internet presence and to ensure the stability and security of our website. This is also our legitimate interest for the data processing.
According to Wix, the provider ensures that if your personal data is transferred to a location outside of Europe, a level of protection deemed adequate by the European Commission or the relevant standard contractual clauses are in place. In addition, Wix states that if personal data is transferred from the EU to a third country that the European Commission considers not to adequately protect your data, it will ensure that additional measures are taken to comply with European data protection laws.
Further information on data processing by Wix can be found in the privacy notice of Wix: https://de.wix.com/about/privacy.
6. LinkedIn
When you visit our LinkedIn page, we are jointly responsible with LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/solve) for the processing of your personal data.
We operate our LinkedIn page to inform you and communicate with you as a user, an interested person or as a potential employee/applicant. In accordance with the LinkedIn terms of use, which each user must agree to as part of creating a LinkedIn profile, we may identify subscribers to our page and see their profiles or other information shared. For example, your LinkedIn name and profile picture are visible to us (and other LinkedIn users) when you visit our page or comment on our posts. We therefore only collect personal data that has become an obvious part of our LinkedIn page as a result of your participation. We have no interest in collecting and further processing your individual personal data.
LinkedIn uses small text files that are stored on the various end devices of the users (cookies), to store and further process this information. According to LinkedIn, the cookies used by LinkedIn are for authentication, security, preferences, features and services, personalised advertising, and analysis and research. You can view details of the cookies used by LinkedIn here: https://de.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.
LinkedIn's privacy policy contains further information on data processing.
The operation of the LinkedIn page, including the processing of users' personal data, is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR for the implementation of our legitimate interests in an information and interaction opportunity via LinkedIn for and with our users and visitors. For the LinkedIn retargeting cookie and applications via our LinkedIn page, your consent serves as a legal basis, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. Further legal bases for data processing may arise in individual cases from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) or c) GDPR.
We delete personal data as soon as the purpose of the data processing has been achieved and there are no other legal reasons against deleting the data.
7. Google Fonts
Our website uses so-called web fonts, which are provided by Google. When you access a site, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to correctly display texts and fonts. We have opted for the offline variant which stores the Google Fonts locally on our web server. The administration of the fonts is then possible - by means of CSS - as with any other font family. A transmission of the IP address and other data to Google does not take place.
The use of Google Web Fonts takes place in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers with regard to the efficiency and cost-saving considerations. This constitutes a justified interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.
Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
8. Wix Web Analytics
For the purpose of analysing and optimising our website, we use certain tools. For example, we can analyse how many users visit our site, which information is most requested or how users find our offer. Among other things, we collect data from which website a data subject came to our website (so-called referrer), which sub-pages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a sub-page was viewed. This helps us to design and improve our offers in a user-friendly way. The data collected in this way does not serve to identify individual users personally.
Legal basis for data processing is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR, Section 25 (1) TTDSG. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by calling up the cookie settings [insert Link] and changing your selection there.
9. Common Ninja
We use the services of the Common Ninja Ltd, Israel, privacy@commoninja.com ("Common Ninja") on our website. This is a provider of so-called widgets for websites. A widget is an element on the screen of an end device that typically offers interactive functions within a website or app. The application can be controlled by mouse or finger input of individual widget elements. The provider enables us to display interactive graphics to present our offer.
The provider acts as a processor on our behalf. We have therefore concluded a contract with the provider pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest here is to create an appealing presentation of our offer.
It cannot be excluded that personal data may be transferred to the provider under certain circumstances. For data transfers to countries in which, according to the EU Commission, there is no adequate level of data protection, Common Ninja states that it uses the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission.
Further information on data processing by Common Ninja can be found in the provider's privacy policy at: https://www.commoninja.com/privacy.
We have therefore concluded a so-called data processing agreement with Wix pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.
10. Data transmission
Your data will not be transferred to third parties except in the cases mentioned above, unless we are legally obliged to do so, or the transfer of data is necessary for the performance of the contractual relationship, or you have previously given your express consent to the transfer of your data.
External service providers and partner companies, such as online payment providers or the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, only receive your data insofar as this is necessary to process your order. In these cases, however, the scope of the transmitted data is limited to the necessary minimum. Insofar as our service providers come into contact with your personal data, we ensure within the framework of order processing pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR that they comply with the provisions of the data protection laws in the same manner. Please also note the respective data protection notices of the providers. The respective service provider is responsible for the content of third-party services, whereby we check the services for compliance with the legal requirements within the scope of reasonableness.
We attach importance to processing your data within the EU / EEA. However, it may happen that we use service providers who process data outside the EU / EEA. In these cases, we will ensure that an adequate level of data protection comparable to the standards within the EU is established at the recipient before transferring your personal data.
11. Data security
We have taken extensive technical and operational precautions to protect your data from accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. Our security procedures are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress.
