4. Legal Bases

Below you will find an overview of the legal bases under the GDPR on which we process personal data. Please note that in addition to the GDPR, national data protection regulations may apply in your or our country of residence.

  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.

  • Contract performance and pre-contractual enquiries (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract 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.

  • 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 of the data subject.

In addition to the GDPR, German national data protection law applies, in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz – BDSG).

5. Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of risks to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

These measures include ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data, as well as procedures for exercising data subject rights, deleting data and responding to threats.

To protect data transmitted via our online services, we use TLS/SSL encryption technology (HTTPS).

6. Transmission of Personal Data

In the course of processing personal data, we may disclose or transmit it to other bodies, companies, legally independent organisational units or individuals. Recipients may include IT service providers or providers of services and content integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with legal requirements and enter into appropriate contracts or agreements with recipients to protect your data.

7. International Data Transfers

Where we transfer data to a third country, i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA), this is done in accordance with legal requirements.

For transfers to the USA, the text refers to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and Standard Contractual Clauses as safeguards.

More information is available from the European Commission and the Data Privacy Framework website.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

We delete personal data as soon as the purpose of processing no longer applies and no legal retention obligations prevent deletion.

If data must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons or for legal proceedings, it will be archived for the required period and processed only for those purposes.

9. Rights of Data Subjects

As a data subject under the GDPR, you have the following rights:

  • Right to object

  • Right to withdraw consent

  • Right of access

  • Right to rectification

  • Right to erasure

  • Right to restriction of processing

  • Right to data portability

  • Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

10. Business Services

We process personal data of our contractual and business partners, such as clients, prospective customers, suppliers and other cooperation partners, for the purpose of initiating, performing and settling contractual relationships and comparable legal relationships.

This includes pre-contractual measures, communication, fulfilment of contractual obligations, invoicing, documentation, and compliance with legal obligations.

Project and development services: We process client data to enable the selection, commissioning, payment and delivery of the chosen services.

11. Use of Cookies

“Cookies” refers to functions that store and retrieve information on users’ devices. Cookies may be used for functionality, security, convenience and visitor traffic analysis.

Where required, we obtain prior consent from users. Where consent is not required, we rely on our legitimate interests, especially where storage or access is strictly necessary for providing requested content or ensuring the functionality and security of the online service.

Types of cookies:

  • Temporary (session) cookies: Deleted when the browser or application is closed.

  • Permanent cookies: Remain stored after the device is closed and may be kept for up to two years unless stated otherwise.

A consent management solution is used to obtain, record, manage and revoke user consent for cookies and similar technologies. The consent record may be stored for up to two years.

12. Web Analytics, Monitoring and Optimisation

Web analytics is used to evaluate visitor traffic to our online services and may include behavioural, interest-based or demographic information in pseudonymous form.

We may also use testing procedures, such as A/B testing, to optimise our online services.

As part of analytics, information may be stored in a browser or device and later read out. This can include visited pages, interactions, browser type, operating system, usage times and, where consent has been given, approximate location data.

IP addresses are processed with IP masking, i.e. pseudonymisation by truncation. As a rule, no directly identifying data such as names or email addresses are stored in the context of analytics.

13. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to measure and analyse the use of our online services on the basis of a pseudonymous user identification number.

This identifier does not contain directly identifying information such as names or email addresses. It is used to assign analysis information to a device and understand which content users viewed, what search terms they used, whether they returned, how long they stayed and what technical characteristics their browser and device have.

For EU users, Google Analytics does not log or store individual IP addresses. It derives approximate geographic information from IP metadata and then deletes that data immediately.

Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Legal basis: Consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
