Legal bases for processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Article 6 (1), sentence 1, lit. f, GDPR.
Our legitimate interest is derived from the above-listed purposes for data collection. In short, we have a legitimate interest in making it technically possible for you to access and use our website. As this is a new kind of service, it is important for us to know how the website is used so we can improve and optimise it. We also need to ensure that abuse is prevented and assure a secure usage for our visitors.
We generally do not use collected data for the purpose of making conclusions about your person. However, we reserve the right to do so to investigate improper page access in certain cases.
Transfer of personal data to other companies and countries
To deliver the experience we want you to have, we rely on the services of special providers that are experts in their dedicated area.
That means that data is transferred abroad, including to countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. An adequate level of data protection is ensured by either working with companies that are under the EU-US Privacy Shield as required by Article 45 (1), GDPR or by using the EU standard contractual clauses laid down by the EU Commission within the meaning of Article 46 (2), lit. c, GDPR.
Delivering our website to your computer

Technical data, including information collected during your visits to our website(s),Amazon Web Services, USA

What is a cookie?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device, preferences and generally help to improve your online experience. You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org.
How we use cookies
We uses cookies for two primary purposes: to ensure platform security and to collect User Activity Information that will allows us to improve the user's experiences with our platform or website. More specifically, we use cookies to authenticate users of the platform, monitor incidents of Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), and to enable Amplitude.
We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications (hereinafter referred to as "newsletters") only with the consent of the recipient or a legal permission. If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described within the scope of registration, they are decisive for the consent of the user. In addition, our newsletters contain information about our services and us.
In order to subscribe to our newsletters, it is generally sufficient for you to enter your e-mail address. However, we may ask you to provide a name for the purpose of addressing you personally in the newsletter.
Content
Information about us, our services, promotions, surveys and offers.
Double opt-in procedure
The registration to our newsletter takes place in a so-called "Double-Opt-In" procedure. This means that you will receive an e-mail after registration asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with external e-mail addresses. The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time as well as the IP address. Likewise the changes of your data stored with the service provider are logged.
Legal bases for processing
The newsletter is sent on the basis of the recipient's consent or, if consent is not required, on the basis of our legitimate interests in direct marketing, provided and to the extent that this is permitted by law, e.g. in the case of existing customer advertising. If we commission a service provider to send e-mails, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests. The registration process is recorded on the basis of our legitimate interests to prove that it was conducted in accordance with the law.
Performance measurement
The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", i.e. a file the size of a pixel, which is retrieved from our server or, if we use a dispatch service provider, from its server when the newsletter is opened. In the course of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval, are first collected.
This information is used for the technical improvement of our newsletter on the basis of technical data or target groups and their reading behaviour on the basis of their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or access times. This analysis also includes determining whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our endeavour nor, if used, that of the dispatch service provider to observe individual users. Rather, the evaluations serve us to recognise the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
The evaluation of the newsletter and the performance measurement are carried out, subject to the express consent of the user, on the basis of our legitimate interests for the purposes of using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system which serves both our business interests and the expectations of the user.
A separate revocation of the performance measurement is unfortunately not possible, in which case the entire newsletter subscription must be cancelled or contradicted.
Opt-out
You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent or object to further receipt. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter either at the end of each newsletter or you can otherwise use one of the contact options listed above, preferably e-mail.

Deletion and limitation of processing
We may store the deleted e-mail addresses for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before we delete them in order to be able to prove a previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defence against claims. An individual request for deletion is possible at any time, provided that the former existence of a consent is confirmed at the same time. In the case of obligations to permanently observe contradictions, we reserve the right to store the e-mail address solely for this purpose in a blacklist.
The logging of the registration procedure takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests for the purposes of proving its proper course. If we commission a service provider to send e-mails, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure dispatch system.
If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA) you have the following rights:
You can exercise the above rights, where applicable by contacting the data protection team. We will require you to provide satisfactory proof of your identity in order to ensure that your rights are respected and protected. This is to ensure that your personal data is disclosed only to you.
