Overview and Explanation of the Legal Bases
Below, we inform you about the legal bases under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on which we process personal data. In addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national regulations of the user’s country of residence or domicile may also apply.
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject that require protection of personal data.
- Performance of a contract and pre-contractual measures (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
- Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR): Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
- Protection of vital interests (Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR): Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
- Recruitment process as a pre-contractual or contractual relationship (Art. 9(1)(b) GDPR):
If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9(1) GDPR (e.g., health data such as disability status or ethnic origin) are requested from applicants as part of the recruitment process so that the controller or the data subject can exercise rights and fulfill obligations arising from labor law and social security and social protection law, their processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 9(2)(b) GDPR. In cases of protecting the vital interests of applicants or other persons, processing is based on Art. 9(2)(c) GDPR. For purposes of preventive or occupational medicine, assessing the employee’s work capacity, medical diagnosis, treatment or care in the health or social sector, or management of health or social care systems and services, processing is carried out under Art. 9(2)(h) GDPR. If special categories of data are voluntarily provided based on consent, their processing is based on Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR. - Data processing for purposes related to the employment relationship (§ 26 BDSG):
We process (special) categories of personal data within the employment relationship based on statutory provisions for the purposes of establishing, performing, and terminating the employment relationship. - Consent (if requested) (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR): The data subject has given their consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
- Processing for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e GDPR): Insofar as processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
- Storage of information in the end user's terminal equipment with the end user's consent (Section 25 (1) sentence 1 TDDDG): We use storage areas of the terminal equipment of our users for certain functions with their express and informed consent.
Safety measures
In accordance with legal requirements and taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, as well as the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of the processing, and considering the varying likelihood and severity of risks to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk (Art. 32 GDPR). Among the security measures we have implemented are the following in particular.
Secure Sockets Layer | Transport Layer Security (SSL): We use SSL/TLS to encrypt data transmitted between our visitors' devices and our servers. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access to the transmitted data.
Disclosure and Transfer of Personal Data to Third Parties
In the course of processing personal data, it may occur that data are transferred to other entities, companies, legally independent organizational units, or individuals, or disclosed to them. The recipients of such data may include, in particular, service providers, contractual partners, public authorities, and other third parties involved in the execution of contractual or legal obligations.:
- IT service providers: This category includes providers responsible for hosting, email services, and server technology.
- Payment service providers: Providers cooperating with us to process payments.
- Shipping service providers: Providers who perform logistical tasks on our behalf, particularly parcel delivery services.
- Authorities: Government agencies with whom we exchange data for the fulfillment of contractual obligations or due to legal requirements.
In such cases, we ensure the protection of personal data by concluding contracts or agreements with the respective third parties that serve to guarantee an appropriate level of data protection. We select third parties to whom we disclose data with due care and diligence. Where we engage third-party providers or platforms to deliver our services, the terms and privacy policies of the respective third parties or platforms apply in the relationship between the users and these providers.
Data Processing in Third Countries
Where we process data in a third country, i.e., a country outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, or where processing is carried out by third parties outside this area, such processing is conducted solely in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Subject to the explicit consent of the data subjects or legally mandated transfers, we process or have data processed only in third countries that ensure an adequate level of data protection. These include, in particular, countries recognized on the basis of special safeguards, such as contractual obligations through so-called standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission, the existence of certifications, or binding corporate rules (Arts. 44 to 49 GDPR).
General Notice on Data Deletion
The data we process are deleted in accordance with legal requirements as soon as consent to their processing has been withdrawn or other legal bases (e.g., legitimate interests, legal obligations) no longer apply. If the data are not deleted because they are required for other legally permissible purposes, their processing is restricted to these purposes only. In other words, the data are blocked and not processed for any other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons, or whose storage is necessary for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person.
Further information on the deletion of personal data may be provided under the respective sections of this privacy policy.

External Platforms
Social Medias
To communicate effectively with our (potential) customers and other interested parties and to offer them a convenient point of contact and information, we maintain presences on several social media platforms.
Please note that when using social media, data may be processed outside the European Union, which may pose risks for users regarding the enforcement of their rights.
Social media platforms regularly analyze user behavior for marketing purposes. In doing so, they create extensive profiles on users’ interests and usage behavior in order to display personalized advertising. Through the use of cookies and integration on third-party websites, information may also be collected that goes beyond the direct use of the social network itself.
In particular, information about the device used, the internet connection (IP address), and possibly the user’s location may be collected.
Please note that only the providers of these networks have access to the data collected about users; therefore, requests for information are most effectively directed to them.
Details and further data protection information about the social networks we use can be found below.
X (former Twitter)
We operate an account on the social network X. On our website, we only link to X; no data processing occurs when visiting our site.
Please note that you use the X short message service and its functions at your own responsibility. This particularly applies to the use of interactive features (such as sharing or liking content).
Information about what data is processed by Twitter (X) and for what purposes can be found in X’s privacy policy:
https://x.com/de/privacy
The information collected by this provider's cookies is usually transmitted to and stored on a server in the United States. In the case of data transfers to the USA, such transfers are based on the presence of standard contractual clauses.
We have no influence over the type and scope of data processed by X, the way it is processed and used, or the disclosure of such data to third parties. Likewise, we have no effective means of control in this regard.
By using X, your personal data is collected, transferred, stored, disclosed, and used by X, and transferred to, stored, and used in the United States, Ireland, and any other country where X operates, regardless of your place of residence.
X processes both the data you voluntarily provide — such as your name and username, email address, telephone number, or contacts from your address book if you upload or synchronize it — and analyzes the content you share to determine your interests. X stores and processes private messages (direct messages) and may determine your location using GPS data, wireless network information, or your IP address to serve you advertisements or other content.
In addition, X collects and analyzes further log data about your visits.
Further information about data collection, data processing, and options to limit such processing can be found via the following resources:
https://help.x.com/de/safety-and-security/x-privacy-settings

https://support.X.com/articles/20172711
https://X.com/settings/your_twitter_data
https://X.com/personalization
We do not collect any data ourselves about your X account or visits to our X profile. However, the data you enter on X — in particular your username and the content published under your account — may be processed by us to the extent that we retweet your tweets, reply to them, or compose our own tweets that reference your account.
The data you have freely published and shared on X is thus included in our online presence and made accessible to our followers.

The data collected about you in this context is processed by Facebook Ltd. and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union. Which information Facebook receives and how it is used is described by Facebook in general terms in its data use policy. There you will also find information on how to contact Facebook and how to manage advertising settings.

The data collected about you is processed by Facebook Ltd. and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union.
When you visit one of our social media profiles (e.g., Facebook), this triggers the processing of your personal data.
In this case, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the respective social network for the data processing activities under Art. 26 GDPR, provided that we actually make joint decisions with the social network operator about the data processing and influence the processing.
Where possible, we have concluded agreements on joint responsibility with the social network operators pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR, in particular the so-called “Page Controller Addendum” of Facebook Ireland Ltd.
You can generally assert your rights (right to information under Art. 15 GDPR, right to rectification under Art. 16 GDPR, right to erasure under Art. 17 GDPR, right to restriction of processing under Art. 18 GDPR, right to data portability under Art. 20 GDPR, and right to complain under Art. 77 GDPR) both with us and with the operator of the respective social network (e.g., Facebook).
Please note that despite the joint responsibility under Art. 26 GDPR, we have no comprehensive influence over the data processing of the individual social networks. The corporate policies of the respective providers have a decisive influence on our options.
In case of asserting data subject rights, we can only forward such requests to the social network operator.
Facebook does not fully and clearly disclose how it uses data from visits to Facebook pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the Facebook page are assigned to individual users, how long Facebook stores this data, and whether data from a visit to the Facebook page is shared with third parties. This information is not known to us.
When accessing a Facebook page, your device’s assigned IP address is transmitted to Facebook. According to Facebook, this IP address is anonymized (for "German" IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days. Facebook also stores information about its users’ devices (for example, in connection with the “login notification” feature); this may enable Facebook to associate IP addresses with individual users.
If you are currently logged in to Facebook as a user, a cookie with your Facebook ID is stored on your device. This allows Facebook to possibly track that you have visited this page and how you used it (for example, via a referrer header).
If you want to prevent Facebook from drawing such conclusions or from associating your visit to our Facebook presence with your profile, you can use a private/incognito browser window, as no cookies are set in this mode.
As the provider of this information service, we do not collect or process any data from your use of our service.
