3. General information on data processing

1. The scope of the processing of personal data

We process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only after consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for actual reasons and the processing of the data is required by legal regulations.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Article 6(1)(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Article 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

4. Rights of the data subject

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

1. Right to information

You may request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you are being processed by him.

If there is such processing, you can request information from the controller about the following:

  • the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
  • the categories of personal data which are processed;
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed;
  • the planned duration of the storage of the personal data concerning you or, if concrete information on this is not possible, criteria for the determination of the storage duration;
  • the existence of a right to obtain the rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to obtain the restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;
  • the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;
  • any available information on the origin of the data, if the personal data are not collected from the data subject;
  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in these cases, - meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information on whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR in connection with the transfer.

2. Right of rectification

You have a right of rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the personal data processed concerning you are inaccurate or incomplete. The controller shall carry out the rectification without undue delay.

3. Right to restriction of processing

You may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you under the following conditions:

  • if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
  • the processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data and request instead the restriction of the use of the personal data;
  • the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need them for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, or
  • if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller outweigh your grounds.

Where the processing of personal data relating to you has been restricted, such data may be processed, with the exception of storage, only with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of substantial public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

4. Right to erasure

a) Obligation to delete

You may request the controller to delete the personal data concerning you without delay, and the controller is obliged to delete such data without delay, if one of the following reasons applies:

  • The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  • You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(a) or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  • You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
  • The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully.
  • The deletion of the personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
  • The personal data concerning you has been collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

b) Information to third parties

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Article 17(1) of the GDPR, it shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, having regard to the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform data controllers which process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested that they erase all links to or copies or replications of such personal data.

(c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary

  • to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information.
  • for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  • for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h), (i) and Art. 9(3) GDPR;
  • for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in Section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the achievement of the purposes of such processing, or
  • for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

5. Right to information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed of these recipients by the controller.

6. Right to data portability

You have the right to obtain the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance by the controller to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that

  • the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR and
  • the processing is carried out with the aid of automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. This must not affect the freedoms and rights of other persons.

The right to data portability shall not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the possibility, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

8. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

9. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

  • is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
  • is authorised by legislation of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject and that legislation contains adequate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
  • with your express consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (b) of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in 1 and 3, the controller shall take reasonable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person from the controller, to express his point of view and to contest the decision.

10. Right to complain to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 GDPR.

13. Hosting

The website is hosted on servers of a service provider commissioned by us.

Our service provider is:

Webflow, Inc., 398 11th Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA

The servers automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits when you visit the website. The information stored is:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Date and time of the server request
  • IP address

A combination of this data with other data sources is not made. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of his website - for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

We have concluded an order processing contract with the relevant service provider, in which we oblige the relevant service provider to protect user data and not to pass it on to third parties.

The location of the server of the website is geographically in the USA. The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here: https://webflow.com/legal/eu-privacy-policy.

14. Geotargeting

We use the IP address and other information provided by the user (in particular postcode in the context of registration or ordering) for regional targeting (so-called "geotargeting").

The regional targeting serves, for example, to automatically show you regional offers or advertising, which often have a higher relevance for users. The legal basis for the use of the IP address and, where applicable, other information provided by the user (in particular postcode) is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, based on our interest in ensuring more precise targeting and thus providing offers and advertising with greater relevance for users.

In the process, a part of the IP address and the additional information provided by the user (in particular postcode) are merely read out and not stored separately.

You can prevent geotargeting by using, for example, a VPN or proxy server that prevents precise localization. In addition, depending on the browser used, you can also deactivate a location localisation in the corresponding browser settings (insofar as this is supported by the respective browser).

We use geotargeting on our website for the following purposes:

  • Advertising

15. Registration

1. Description and scope of data processing

On our website, we offer users the opportunity to register by providing personal data. The data is entered in an input mask and transmitted to us and stored. The data is not passed on to third parties. The following data is collected during the registration process:

  • E-mail address
  • Name
  • First name
  • Telephone / mobile phone number
  • Company name, position

As part of the registration process, the user's consent to the processing of this data is obtained.

2. Purpose of the data processing

User registration is required for the provision of certain content and services on our website.

Contact details are needed for the sales process to contact you

3. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR if the user has given his consent.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected.

This is the case for the data collected during the registration process, if the registration on our website is cancelled or modified.

5. Possibility of objection and removal

As a user, you have the option to cancel your registration at any time. You can have the data stored about you changed at any time.

Deleting the account or changing the data is possible by contacting [email protected], by replying to an e-mail or by using the unsubscribe button in marketing e-mails.

16. Use of Plugins

We use plugins for various purposes. 

Your personal data will also be transferred to the USA. There is no adequacy decision for the USA according to Art. 45(3) GDPR. We would like to point out that a data transfer without an adequacy decision entails certain risks, which we would like to inform you about below. 

US intelligence services use certain online identifiers (such as the IP address or unique identification numbers) as a starting point for monitoring individuals. In particular, it cannot be ruled out that these intelligence services have already collected information about you, with the help of which the data transmitted here can be traced back to you. 

Electronic communications service providers headquartered in the United States are subject to surveillance by U.S. intelligence agencies pursuant to 50 U.S. Code § 1881a ("FISA 702"). Accordingly, providers of electronic communications services headquartered in the U.S. have an obligation to provide personal information to U.S. authorities pursuant to 50 U.S. Code § 1881a, without any possible remedy available to you. Even encryption of data at the electronic communications service provider's data centres may not provide adequate protection because, with respect to imported data in its possession or custody or under its control, an electronic communications service provider has a direct obligation to provide access to or surrender such data. This obligation may explicitly extend to the cryptographic keys without which the data cannot be read. 

The fact that this is not merely a "theoretical risk" is demonstrated by the ECJ's judgement of 16 July 2020 (Case C-311/18, "Schrems-II"). 

We have concluded guarantees with all providers in the form of standard data protection clauses pursuant to Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR. A copy of the standard data protection clauses can be requested from us.
