A. General information
The information presented here, under "A. General Information", applies at all times. Below you will find information for special situations and circumstances. If an article has no legal designation, it is an article of the GDPR.
Items
The general definitions of the GDPR apply (Art. 4 GDPR), in particular these terms apply:
According to Article 4 No. 2 GDPR, "processing" includes any handling of personal data, regardless of automated procedures. This includes the collection, recording, organisation, storage, adaptation, modification, reading, querying, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, provision, comparison, linking, restriction, deletion or destruction of personal data as well as any change to the original purpose or purpose of the data processing.
"Personal data" according to Article 4 No. 1 GDPR is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person, the "data subject". A person is considered identifiable if he can be identified directly or indirectly by characteristics such as name, identification number, online identifier, location data or physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social characteristics. This identification can also be done by linking information or additional knowledge. It is irrelevant in what form the information is available, including photos, videos or sound recordings.
A "controller" in accordance with Article 4 No. 7 GDPR is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data.
A "processor" in accordance with Article 4 No. 8 GDPR is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller, in particular in accordance with his instructions.
A "third party" in accordance with Article 4 No. 10 GDPR means any natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and persons who are authorized to process personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor. This also includes other companies within a group.
The "consent" pursuant to Article 4 No. 11 GDPR is a voluntary, informed and unambiguous declaration of will or action by the data subject. With this, she agrees that her personal data will be processed for a specific purpose.

Legal basis of data processing
In accordance with the legal provisions, in principle, any processing of personal data is prohibited and is only permitted under certain justification grounds:
Article 6 paragraph 1 lit a: The data subject has given his "consent" too clearly, voluntarily, informed, for one or more purposes (consent)
Article 6(1)(b): the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures that are carried out at the request of the data subject;
Article 6(1)(c): the processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
Article 6(1)(d): the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person;
Article 6(1)(e): the 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;
Article 6(1)(f) Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.
In the following, we provide the respective legal basis for the processing operations carried out by us. It is possible that processing is based on several legal bases.
Duration of storage and data deletion
Furthermore, for the processing operations carried out by us, we specify in each case how long your data will be stored by us and at what time it will be deleted or blocked. If no specific storage period is specified, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose or legal basis for storage no longer applies. In principle, your data will only be stored on our servers in Germany, unless there is a possible transfer in accordance with the sections on contract processors and transfer to third countries.
Further storage and processing is possible in the event of a possible legal dispute with you or in the context of another legal procedure or if the storage is required by law (e.g. tax retention obligations), until the expiry of these procedures, legal disputes or the statutory retention obligations. After that, the data will be deleted or blocked. This does not apply if storage is required by law.
Contract processors
We use service providers as part of our business activities. This includes domestic and foreign service providers (e.g. in IT, logistics, forwarding companies, communication, sales, marketing and consultants). They will only act according to our instructions and have been contractually obliged to comply with the data protection regulations in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
For the transfer of personal data to third countries
In the course of our activities, it may happen that your personal data is passed on or disclosed to third-party companies that may also be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), in so-called third countries. The purpose is exclusively the fulfillment of contractual and business obligations as well as to maintain your business relationship with us. We will inform you about details in the relevant sections.
Some third countries have data protection standards that are considered appropriate by the European Commission. This means that they are comparable to the data protection standard of the EEA. A list of these countries and copies of the adequacy decisions can be found here:
https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-pr ...
In other third countries to which personal data may be transferred, there may not be a consistently high level of data protection due to the lack of legal provisions. In such cases, we make sure that data protection is adequately guaranteed. This can be achieved, for example, by binding corporate regulations, standard contractual clauses of the European Commission for the protection of personal data, certificates or recognized codes of conduct. If you would like further information on this, please contact us. Contact details, see above.
We also use the tools of Pipedrive. The service provider is the US-American company Salesforce, Inc., located at 530 Fifth Avenue, 9th Floor, Suite 802, New York, NY 10036, USA.
Pipedrive also processes your data in the USA, among other places. Pipedrive is an active participant in the EU-US Data Protection Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data of EU citizens to the USA. Further information can be found at
https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7 In addition, Pipedrive uses so-called standard contractual clauses in accordance with Article 46 of the GDPR. These clauses are standard documents provided by the EU Commission and guarantee that your data will comply with European data protection standards even if it is transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Due to the EU-US data protection framework and the standard contractual clauses, Pipedrive undertakes to comply with the European data protection level when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. The resolution and the corresponding standard contractual clauses can be found here, among other things:

This enables us to identify returning visitors, count their frequency and find out how often our websites have been accessed by different users. Data processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR on the basis of your consent.
The information about your use of our website generated by the cookie is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we have activated IP anonymization on our website, which means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within the Member States of the European Union before transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection can be found at
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de . In addition, we have concluded a contract for order processing in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR with Google LLC (USA). Google will therefore use all information exclusively for the purpose of analyzing the use of our websites and compiling reports on website activity.
Google Fonts: We use Google Fonts to provide fonts and icons on our website. This serves to enable a technically safe, maintenance-free and efficient use of fonts and symbols by ensuring their up-to-dateness and loading times as well as taking into account licensing restrictions.
When accessing our website, the IP addresses of the users are transmitted to the font provider in order to display the fonts in the user's browser. In addition, technical data such as language settings, screen resolution, operating system and hardware used are transmitted in order to provide the fonts according to the devices and the technical environment of the user.
This data can be processed on servers of the font provider in the USA. When users visit our website, their browsers send HTTP requests to the Google Fonts Web API to retrieve the fonts. These requests contain the user's IP address, the requested URL on the Google server and the HTTP headers with information about the user's browser and operating system, as well as the referral URL.
The IP addresses are neither logged nor stored or analyzed by Google. The Google Fonts Web API logs details of the HTTP requests in order to measure the usage of the fonts and to generate aggregated usage statistics. These statistics are published on the Google Fonts website.
Google does not use the collected information to create profiles of end users or to place targeted ads. The service provider of Google Fonts is Google Ireland Limited, with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The legal basis for data processing is our legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter f of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
