Data protection
Introduction and overview
We have written this data protection declaration (version 06/03/2022-122049441) in order to explain to you in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and applicable national laws, which personal data (data for short) we as the person responsible - and that of processors commissioned by us (e.g. providers) - process, will process in the future and what legal options you have. The terms used are to be understood as gender-neutral.
In short: We inform you comprehensively about the data that we hold about you
to process. Privacy statements usually sound very technical and use legal jargon. This data protection declaration, on the other hand, is intended to describe the most important things as simply and transparently as possible. As far as transparency is conducive, technical terms are explained in a reader-friendly way, links to further information are provided and graphics are used. We are thus informing you in clear and simple language that we only process personal data in the course of our business activities if there is a corresponding legal basis. This is certainly not possible if you have the most concise, unclear and legally technical information possible
makes declarations of the kind that are often standard on the Internet when it comes to data protection. I hope that you find the following explanations interesting and informative and that you may find some information that you did not already know. If you still have questions, we would like to ask you to contact the below or in the
Contact the responsible body mentioned in the imprint, follow the existing links and view further information on third-party websites. Our contact details can of course also be found in the imprint.
scope of application
This data protection declaration applies to all personal data processed by us in the company and to all personal data that companies commissioned by us (processors) process. By personal data we mean information within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR such as a person's name, e-mail address and postal address. The processing of personal data ensures that we can offer and bill our services and products, whether online or offline.
The scope of this privacy policy includes:
all online presences (websites, online shops) that we operate
Social media appearances and e-mail communication,
mobile apps for smartphones and other devices
In short: the data protection declaration applies to all areas in which
personal data is processed in a structured manner in the company via the channels mentioned. If we enter into legal relationships with you outside of these channels, we will inform you separately if necessary.
legal bases
In the following data protection declaration we give you transparent
Information on the legal principles and regulations, i.e. the
Legal bases of the General Data Protection Regulation, which enable us to
to process personal data.
As far as EU law is concerned, we refer to REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of April 27, 2016. You can of course read this EU General Data Protection Regulation online on EUR-Lex, the gateway to the EU -Legal, at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legalcontent/
EN/ALL/?uri=celex%3A32016R0679.
We only process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:
1. Consent (Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR): You have given us your consent to process data for a specific purpose. An example would be storing the data you entered on a contact form.
2. Contract (Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. b GDPR): To a contract or
To fulfill pre-contractual obligations with you, we process your
Data. For example, if we enter into a purchase agreement with you,
we need personal information in advance.
3. Legal obligation (Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. c GDPR): If we are one
are subject to a legal obligation, we process your data. To the
For example, we are required by law to keep accounts for invoices
cancel. These usually contain personal data.
4. Legitimate interests (Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR): In the case of legitimate interests that do not restrict your fundamental rights, we reserve the right to process personal data. For example, we need to process certain data in order to be able to operate our website securely and economically. This processing is therefore a legitimate interest. Other conditions such as the perception of recordings in the public interest and the exercise of official authority as well as the protection of vital interests do not usually apply to us. Insofar as such a legal basis should be relevant, it will be indicated in the appropriate place.
In addition to the EU regulation, national laws also apply:
In Austria, this is the federal law for the protection of natural persons when processing personal data (data protection law), DSG for short. In Germany, the Federal Data Protection Act, BDSG for short, applies.
If other regional or national laws apply,
we will inform you about this in the following sections.

storage duration
That we only store personal data for as long as is necessary for the
Providing our services and products is absolutely necessary is a general criterion for us. This means that we delete personal data as soon as the reason for the data processing no longer exists. In some cases, we are legally obliged to store certain data even after the original purpose has ceased to exist, for example for purposes of
accounting. If you wish your data to be deleted or revoke your consent to data processing, the data will be deleted as quickly as possible and provided there is no obligation to store it.
We will inform you below about the specific duration of the respective data processing, provided that we have further information on this.

security of data processing
In order to protect personal data, we have implemented both technical and organizational measures. Where possible, we encrypt or pseudonymise personal data. In this way, we make it as difficult as possible for third parties to infer personal information from our data. Art. 25 GDPR speaks here of “data protection through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings” and means that one always thinks of security and corresponding security both with software (e.g. forms) and hardware (e.g. access to the server room). measures. If necessary, we will go into specific measures below.
TLS encryption with https
TLS, encryption and https all sound very technical and they are. We use HTTPS (the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure stands for "secure hypertext transfer protocol") to transmit data securely on the Internet. This means that the complete transmission of all data from your browser to our web server is secured - nobody can "eavesdrop". We have thus introduced an additional security layer and comply with data protection through technology design (Article 25 Paragraph 1 GDPR). By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission on the Internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data.
You can recognize the use of this protection of data transmission by the small lock symbol in the top left of the browser, to the left of the Internet address (e.g. examplepage.de) and the use of the https scheme (instead of http) as part of our Internet address. If you want to know more about encryption, we recommend searching Google for “Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure wiki” for good links
to receive further information.

Order processing contract (AVV)
In this section we would like to explain to you what a
Order processing contract is and why it is needed. Because the word "order processing contract" is quite a tongue twister, we will often only use the acronym AVV here in the text. Like most companies, we do not work alone, but also use the services of other companies or individuals ourselves. By involving various companies or service providers, it may be that we pass on personal data for processing. These partners then act as processors with whom we conclude a contract, the so-called data processing contract (AVV). The most important thing for you to know is that the processing of your personal data takes place exclusively according to our instructions and must be regulated by the AVV.
Who are processors?
As a company and website owner, we are responsible for all data that we process from you. In addition to those responsible, there may also be so-called processors. This includes any company or person who processes personal data on our behalf. More precisely and according to the GDPR definition: any natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on our behalf is considered a processor. Processors can therefore be service providers such as hosting or cloud providers, payment or newsletter providers or large companies such as Google or Microsoft. To make the terminology easier to understand, here is an overview of the three roles in the GDPR:
Affected party (you as a customer or interested party) → person responsible (we as
companies and clients) → processors (service providers such as web hosts or cloud providers)
Content of an order processing contract
As already mentioned above, we have concluded an AVV with our partners who act as processors. First and foremost, it states that the processor processes the data to be processed exclusively in accordance with the GDPR. The contract must be concluded in writing, although in this context the electronic conclusion of the contract is also considered “in writing”. The processing of personal data only takes place on the basis of the contract. The contract must contain the following:
Binding to us as responsible
Obligations and rights of the controller
Categories of data subjects
Type of personal data
Type and purpose of data processing
Subject and duration of data processing
Place of execution of the data processing
Furthermore, the contract contains all the obligations of the processor. The most important obligations are:
to ensure data security measures; take possible technical and organizational measures to protect the rights of the data subject; to keep a data processing record; to cooperate with the data protection supervisory authority at the request of the latter; carry out a risk analysis in relation to the personal data received; Sub-processors may only be commissioned with the written consent of the person responsible.

What are cookies?
Our website uses HTTP cookies to collect user-specific data
to save. In the following we explain what cookies are and why they are used so that you can better understand the following data protection declaration. Whenever you surf the Internet, you use a browser.
Well-known browsers include Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge. Most websites store small text files in your browser. These files are called cookies. One thing cannot be denied: Cookies are really useful little helpers. Almost all websites use cookies. More precisely, they are HTTP cookies, since there are other cookies for other areas of application. HTTP cookies are small files that are stored on your computer by our website. These cookie files are automatically stored in the cookie folder, which is basically the "brain" of your browser. A cookie consists of a name and a value. When defining a cookie, one or more attributes must also be specified. Cookies store certain user data from you, such as language or personal page settings. When you visit our site again, your browser transmits the "user-related" information back to our site. Thanks to cookies, our website knows who you are and offers you the settings you are used to. In some browsers each cookie has its own file, in others such as Firefox all cookies are stored in a single file. The graphic below shows a possible interaction between a web browser such as B. Chrome and the web server. The web browser requests a website and receives a cookie from the server, which the browser uses again as soon as another page is requested. There are both first-party cookies and third-party cookies.
Cookies are created directly by our site, third party cookies are created by partner websites (e.g. Google Analytics). Each cookie must be evaluated individually, since each cookie stores different data. The expiry time of a cookie also varies from a few minutes to a few years. Cookies are not software programs and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other "pests". Cookies also cannot access information on your PC.
For example, cookie data can look like this:
Name: _ga
Value: GA1.2.1326744211.152122049441-9
Purpose: Differentiation of website visitors
Expiry date: after 2 years
A browser should be able to support these minimum sizes:
At least 4096 bytes per cookie
At least 50 cookies per domain
At least 3000 cookies in total
What types of cookies are there?
The question of which cookies we use in particular depends on the
services used and will be explained in the following sections of the
Privacy policy clarified. At this point we would like to briefly comment on the
receive different types of HTTP cookies.
There are 4 types of cookies:
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the basic functions of the website
ensure. For example, these cookies are needed if a user puts a product in the shopping cart, then continues surfing on other pages and only goes to the checkout later. These cookies do not delete the shopping cart, even if the user closes their browser window.
Functional cookies
These cookies collect information about user behavior and whether the user receives any error messages. In addition, these cookies are also used to measure the loading time and behavior of the website in different browsers.
Targeting cookies
These cookies ensure a better user experience. For example
entered locations, font sizes or form data are saved.
advertising cookies
These cookies are also called targeting cookies. They are used to provide the user with individually tailored advertising. This can be very useful, but also very annoying. Usually, when you visit a website for the first time, you will be asked which of these types of cookies you would like to allow. And of course this decision is also stored in a cookie. If you want to know more about cookies and are not afraid of technical documentation, we recommend https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6265, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for Comments called “HTTP State Management Mechanism” .
Purpose of processing via cookies
The purpose ultimately depends on the respective cookie. More details can be found below or from the manufacturer of the software that sets the cookie.
Which data are processed?
Cookies are little helpers for many different tasks. Unfortunately, it is not possible to generalize which data is stored in cookies, but we will inform you about the processed or stored data in the following data protection declaration.
Storage duration of cookies
The storage period depends on the respective cookie and is explained below
specified. Some cookies are deleted after less than an hour,
others may remain stored on a computer for several years.
You can also influence the storage period yourself. You can manually delete all cookies at any time via your browser (see also "Right of objection" below). Furthermore, cookies that are based on consent will be deleted at the latest after you withdraw your consent, whereby the legality of storage remains unaffected until then.
Right to object - how can I delete cookies?
You decide for yourself how and whether you want to use cookies. Regardless of which service or website the cookies come from, you always have the option of deleting or deactivating cookies or only partially allowing them. For example, you can block third-party cookies but allow all other cookies. If you want to find out which cookies have been stored in your browser, if you want to change or delete cookie settings, you can find this in your browser settings:
Chrome: Delete, enable and manage cookies in Chrome Safari: Manage cookies and website data with Safari Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data websites have placed on your computer Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies Microsoft Edge: Delete and manage of cookies. If you generally do not want any cookies, you can set up your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie is to be set. You can decide for each individual cookie whether you allow the cookie or not. The procedure differs depending on the browser. It is best to look for the instructions in Google with the search term “Delete cookies Chrome” or “Deactivate cookies Chrome” in the case of a Chrome browser.
legal basis
The so-called “Cookie Guidelines” have been in place since 2009. It states that the storage of cookies requires your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). Within the EU countries, however, there are still very different reactions to these directives. In Austria, however, this directive was implemented in Section 96 (3) of the Telecommunications Act (TKG). In Germany, the cookie guidelines have not been implemented as national law. Instead, this guideline was largely implemented in Section 15 (3) of the Telemedia Act (TMG).
For absolutely necessary cookies, even if no consent has been given,
there are legitimate interests (Article 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR), which in most cases are of an economic nature. We want to provide visitors to our website with a pleasant user experience and certain cookies are often strictly necessary for this. If cookies that are not absolutely necessary are used, this will only happen with your consent. In this respect, the legal basis is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. In the following sections you will be informed in more detail about the use of cookies if the software used uses cookies.
Web Hosting Introduction
Web Hosting Summary
👥 Affected: Visitors to the website
🤝 Purpose: professional website hosting and operation security
📓 Processed data: IP address, time of website visit,
browser used and other data. You can find more details on this further
below or at the respective web hosting provider used.
📅 Storage period: depends on the respective provider, but usually 2
weeks
⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR (legitimate interests)
What is web hosting?
When you visit websites today, certain information - including personal data - is automatically created and stored, including on this website. This data should be processed as sparingly as possible and only with justification. By the way, by website we mean the entirety of all web pages on a domain, ie everything from the start page (home page) to the very last sub-page (like this one). By domain we mean, for example, example.de or example.com. When you want to view a website on a computer, tablet, or smartphone, you use a program called a web browser to do so. You probably know a few web browsers by name: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari. We call it browser or web browser for short.
To view the website, the browser needs to connect to another computer where the website's code is stored: the web server. The operation of a web server is a complicated and time-consuming task, which is why this is usually taken on by professional providers, the providers. These offer web hosting and thus ensure reliable and error-free storage of website data. A whole lot of jargon, but please stay tuned, it gets even better! Personal data may be processed when the browser on your computer (desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone) connects and during data transfer to and from the web server. On the one hand, your computer stores data, on the other hand, the web server also has to store data for a period of time in order to ensure proper operation. A picture says more than a thousand words, so the following graphic shows
Why do we process personal data?
The purposes of data processing are:
1. Professional website hosting and operation security
2. to maintain operational and IT security
3. Anonymous evaluation of access behavior to improve our
offer and, if necessary, for criminal prosecution or the pursuit of claims
Which data are processed?
Even while you are visiting our website right now, our
Web server, which is the computer on which this website is stored, usually automatically data such as the complete Internet address (URL) of the website accessed Browser and browser version (e.g. Chrome 87)
the operating system used (e.g. Windows 10) the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL) (e.g. https://www.beispielquellsite.de/vondabinichkommen/ ) the host name and the IP address of the Device from which access is made (e.g. COMPUTERNAME and 194.23.43.121) Date and time in files, the so-called web server log files
How long is data stored?
As a rule, the above data is stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted. We do not pass on this data, but we cannot rule out that this data will be viewed by authorities in the event of illegal behavior.
In short: your visit is logged by our provider (company that runs our website on special computers (servers)), but we do not pass on your data without your consent!
legal basis
The lawfulness of the processing of personal data in the context of web hosting results from Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR (protection of legitimate interests), because the use of professional hosting with a provider is necessary to make the company safe and user-friendly on the Internet present and to be able to pursue attacks and claims from this if necessary. There is usually a contract between us and the hosting provider for order processing in accordance with Art. 28 f. GDPR, which ensures compliance with data protection
guaranteed and data security guaranteed.

Social media introduction
Social Media Privacy Policy Summary
👥 Affected: Visitors to the website
🤝 Purpose: Presentation and optimization of our service, contact to
Visitors, interested parties, etc., advertising
📓 Data processed: data such as phone numbers, email addresses,
Contact data, user behavior data, information about your device and your IP address. More details can be found in the respective social media tool used.
📅 Duration of storage: depends on the social media platforms used
⚖️ Legal basis: Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), Article 6 paragraph 1 lit.f GDPR (legitimate interests)
What is social media?
In addition to our website, we are also active on various social media platforms. Data from users can be processed so that we can specifically address users who are interested in us via the social networks. In addition, elements of a social media platform may also be embedded directly into our website. This is the case, for example, if you click on a so-called social button on our website and are forwarded directly to our social media presence. So-called social media or social media refers to websites and apps through which registered members can produce content, exchange content openly or in certain groups and network with other members.
Why do we use social media?
For years, social media platforms have been where people go online
communicate and get in touch. With our social media appearances, we can bring our products and services closer to interested parties. The social media elements integrated into our website help you to be able to switch to our social media content quickly and without complications. The data that is stored and processed as a result of your use of a social media channel is primarily intended to be able to carry out web analyses. The aim of these analyzes is to be able to develop more precise and personal marketing and advertising strategies. Depending on your behavior on a social media platform, the evaluated data can be used to draw appropriate conclusions about your interests and so-called user profiles can be created. So it is also possible for the platforms to
present customized advertisements. In most cases, cookies are set in your browser for this purpose, which store data on your usage behavior. We generally assume that we remain responsible under data protection law, even if we use the services of a social media platform. However, the European Court of Justice has decided that in certain cases the operator of the social media platform can be jointly responsible with us within the meaning of Art. 26 DSGVO. If this is the case, we will point this out separately and work on the basis of a relevant agreement. The essence of the agreement is then reproduced below for the platform concerned. Please note that when using the social media platforms or our built-in elements, your data may also be processed outside the European Union, as many social media channels, such as Facebook or Twitter, are American companies. As a result, you may not be able to claim or enforce your rights in relation to your personal data as easily.
Which data are processed?
Exactly which data is stored and processed depends on the respective provider of the social media platform. But usually it is data such as telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, data that you enter in a contact form, user data such as which buttons you click, who you like or follow, when you visited which pages, information about your device and your IP address. Most of this data is stored in cookies. Especially if you have a profile on the visited social media channel and are logged in, data can be linked to your profile. All data collected via a social media platform is also stored on the providers' servers. This means that only the providers have access to the data and can give you the right information or make changes. If you want to know exactly what data is stored and processed by the social media providers and how you can object to the data processing, you should carefully read the respective data protection declaration of the company. Even if you have questions about data storage and data processing or want to assert corresponding rights, we recommend that you contact the provider directly.
Duration of data processing
We will inform you below about the duration of data processing if we have further information on this. For example, the social media platform Facebook stores data until it is no longer required for its own purposes. Customer data that is compared with your own user data will be deleted within two days. In general, we only process personal data for as long as is absolutely necessary for the provision of our services and products. If it is required by law, such as in the case of accounting, this storage period can also be exceeded.
Right to object
You also have the right and the opportunity to give your consent at any time
to revoke the use of cookies or third parties such as embedded social media elements. This works either via our cookie management tool or via other opt-out functions. For example, you can also prevent data collection by cookies by managing, deactivating or deleting the cookies in your browser. Since cookies can be used with social media tools, we also recommend our general data protection declaration on cookies. To find out exactly what data is stored and processed by you, you should read the data protection declarations of the respective tools.
legal basis

What is LinkedIn?
On our website we use social plug-ins from the social media network LinkedIn, the company LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA94043, USA. The social plug-ins can be feeds, content sharing or linking to our LinkedIn page. The social plug-ins are clearly marked with the well-known LinkedIn logo and allow, for example, interesting content to be shared directly via our website. LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company Wilton Place in Dublin is responsible for data processing in the European Economic Area and Switzerland. By embedding such plug-ins, data can be sent to LinkedIn, stored and processed there. In this data protection declaration, we want to inform you what data is involved, how the network uses this data and how you can manage or prevent data storage. LinkedIn is the largest social network for business contacts. Unlike Facebook, for example, the company focuses exclusively on establishing business contacts. Companies can present services and products on the platform and establish business relationships. Many people also use LinkedIn to look for a job or to find suitable employees for their own company. In Germany alone, the network has over 11 million members. In Austria there are about 1.3 million.
Why do we use LinkedIn on our website?
We know how busy you are. You can't track all social media channels individually. Even if, as in our case, it would be worth it. Because we keep posting interesting news or reports that are worth spreading. That is why we have created the possibility on our website to share interesting content directly on LinkedIn or to refer directly to our LinkedIn page. We consider built-in social plug-ins as an extended service on our website. The data that LinkedIn collects also helps us to only show possible advertising measures to people who are interested in our offer.
What data does LinkedIn store?
LinkedIn does not save any data simply by integrating the social plug-ins
personal data. LinkedIn calls this data generated by plug-ins passive impressions. However, if you click on a social plug-in, for example to share our content, the platform saves personal data as so-called "active impressions". This is regardless of whether you have a LinkedIn account or not. If you are logged in, the data collected will be assigned to your account. Your browser establishes a direct connection to the LinkedIn servers when you interact with our plug-ins. The company logs various usage data. In addition to your IP address, this can be, for example, registration data, device information or information about your Internet or mobile phone provider. If you call up LinkedIn services via your smartphone, your location can also be determined (after you have allowed this). LinkedIn may also share this data in "hashed" form with third-party advertisers. Hashing means turning a record into a string. This allows the data to be encrypted in such a way that people can no longer be identified. Most data about your user behavior is stored in cookies. These are small text files that are usually placed in your browser. However, LinkedIn may also use web beacons, pixel tags, display tags and other device identifiers. Various tests also show which cookies are set when a user interacts with a social plug-in. The data found cannot claim to be complete and is only used as an example. The following cookies were set without being logged in to LinkedIn:

How long and where is the data stored?
In principle, LinkedIn retains your personal data for as long as the company deems necessary to offer its own services. However, LinkedIn will delete your personal data when you delete your account. In some exceptional cases, LinkedIn retains some data in aggregated and anonymous form even after you delete your account. Once you delete your account, other people will no longer be able to see your data within a day. LinkedIn generally deletes the data within 30 days. However, LinkedIn retains data if it is necessary for legal reasons. Data that can no longer be assigned to a person will remain stored even after the account has been closed. The data is stored on various servers in America and probably also in Europe.
How can I delete my data or the
Prevent data storage?
You have the right to access and delete your personal data at any time. You can manage, change and delete your data in your LinkedIn account. You can also request a copy of your personal data from LinkedIn. To access account information on your LinkedIn profile:
In LinkedIn, click on your profile icon and select the section
“Settings and Privacy”. Now click on "Privacy" and then in the section "How LinkedIn uses your data" on "Change". In just a short time you can download selected data about your web activity and your account history. You also have the option in your browser to prevent data processing by LinkedIn. As mentioned above, LinkedIn stores most of the data via cookies that are set in your browser. You can manage, disable or delete these cookies. Depending on which browser you have, the administration works a little differently. Under the “Cookies” section
you will find the corresponding links to the respective instructions of the
most popular browsers. You can also basically set up your browser in such a way that you are always informed when a cookie is to be set. Then you can always decide individually whether you want to allow the cookie or not.
legal basis
If you have agreed that your data can be processed and stored by integrated social media elements, this consent is the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. A DSGVO). In principle, your data will also be stored and processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in quick and effective communication with you or other customers and business partners. However, we only use the integrated social media elements if you have given your consent. Most social media platforms also set cookies on your browser to store data. We therefore recommend that you read our privacy statement on cookies carefully and consult the privacy statement or cookie policy of the relevant service provider. LinkedIn also processes your data in the USA, among other places. We would like to point out that, according to the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA. This can be associated with various risks for the legality and security of data processing.
As a basis for data processing by recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. in particular in the USA) or data transfer there, LinkedIn uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46 Para. 2 and 3 DSGVO). Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data also comply with European data protection standards if they are transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through these clauses, LinkedIn undertakes to comply with European data protection standards when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementation decision of the EU Commission. You can find the decision and the corresponding standard contractual clauses here: https://eurlex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de

Cloud Services Privacy Policy Summary
👥 Those affected: We as the website operator and you as the website visitor
🤝 Purpose: security and data storage
📓 Processed data: Data such as your IP address, name or technical data such as browser version You can find more details below and in the individual data protection texts or in the data protection declarations of the providers
📅 Duration of storage: In most cases, the data is stored until it is no longer required to provide the service
⚖️ Legal basis: Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), Article 6 paragraph 1 lit.f GDPR (legitimate interests)
What are cloud services?
As a website operator, cloud services provide us with storage space and computing power via the Internet. Data can be transmitted to an external system, processed and stored via the Internet. The relevant cloud provider manages this data. Depending on the requirements, an individual or a company can choose the storage space or computing power. Cloud storage is accessed via an API or via storage protocols. API stands for Application Programming Interface and
what is meant by this is a programming interface, the software with
connects hardware components.
Why do we use cloud services?
We use cloud services for several reasons. A cloud service offers us the opportunity to store our data securely. In addition, we have access to the data from different locations and devices, giving us more flexibility and simplifying our work processes. Cloud storage also saves us costs because we don't have to set up and manage our own infrastructure for data storage and data security. By storing our data centrally in the cloud, we can also expand our fields of application and manage our information much better. As a website operator or as a company, we use cloud services primarily for our own purposes. For example, we use the Services to manage our calendar, to store documents or other important information in the cloud. However, personal data may also be stored about you. This is the case, for example, if you provide us with your contact details (e.g. name and e-mail address) and we store our customer data with a cloud provider. Consequently, data that we process from you can also be stored and processed on external servers. If we offer certain forms or content from cloud services on our website, we can also
Cookies are set for web analysis and advertising purposes. Furthermore, such cookies remember your settings (e.g. the language used) so that you will find your usual web environment the next time you visit our website.
What data is processed by cloud services?
Much of the data we store in the cloud is not personally identifiable, but some data is personal data as defined by the GDPR. It is often customer data such as name, address, IP address or telephone number or technical device information. Videos, images and audio files can also be stored in the cloud. Exactly how the data is collected and stored depends on the respective service. We only try to use services that handle the data in a very trustworthy and professional manner. In principle, the services, such as Amazon Drive, have access to the stored files in order to be able to offer their own service accordingly. However, the services require this
Permissions such as the right to copy files for security reasons. This data will be processed and managed as part of the Services and in compliance with applicable laws. This also includes the GDPR for US providers (via the standard contractual clauses). In some cases, these cloud services also work with third parties who may process data under instructions and in accordance with privacy policies and other security measures. At this point we would like to emphasize again that all well-known cloud services (such as Amazon Drive, Google Drive or Microsoft Onedrive) obtain the right to have access to stored content in order to provide their own service
to offer and optimize accordingly.
Duration of data processing
We will inform you below about the duration of data processing if we have further information on this. In general, cloud services store data until you or we revoke the data storage or delete the data again. In general, personal data is only stored for as long as is absolutely necessary for the provision of the services. However, a final data deletion from the cloud can take several months. This is the case because the data is usually not only stored on one server, but is divided between different servers.
Right to object
You also have the right and the opportunity to give your consent at any time
to revoke data storage in a cloud. If cookies are used, you also have a right of withdrawal here. This works either via our cookie management tool or via other opt-out functions. For example, you can also prevent data collection by cookies by managing, deactivating or deleting the cookies in your browser. We also recommend our general privacy policy on cookies. To find out exactly what data is stored and processed by you, you should read the data protection declarations of the respective cloud provider.
legal basis
We deploy cloud services mainly based on our legitimate
interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in a good security and storage system. Certain types of processing, in particular the use of cookies and storage functions, require your consent. If you have consented to data being processed and stored by cloud services, this consent is the legal basis for data processing (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). Most of the services we use set cookies on your browser to store data. We therefore recommend that you read our privacy statement on cookies carefully and consult the privacy statement or cookie policy of the relevant service provider. You can find information on special tools – if available – in the following sections.
Google Cloud Privacy Policy
We use Google Cloud, an online storage service for files, photos and videos, for our website. The service provider is the American company Google Inc. The company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services in Europe. Google also processes your data in the USA, among other places. We would like to point out that, according to the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA. This can be associated with various risks for the legality and security of data processing. As the basis for data processing by recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. in particular in the USA) or data transfer there, Google uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46 Para. 2 and 3 DSGVO). Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data also comply with European data protection standards if they are transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through these clauses, Google undertakes to comply with European data protection standards when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA.
