PRIVACY POLICY1. Introduction
The protection of your personal data is our top priority. This Privacy Policy explains the nature, scope, and purpose of the processing of personal data (hereinafter referred to as “Data”) in connection with our online services. This includes the associated website, features, and content, as well as external online presences, such as social media profiles (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “online service”). Your personal data will be treated confidentially, and we strictly comply with statutory data protection regulations as well as the provisions of this Privacy Policy.
General Information
This Privacy Policy provides you with a comprehensive overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data refers to any information that can be used to identify you personally. For detailed information on data protection, please refer to this complete Privacy Policy.
Data Controller
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. The contact information for the data controller can be found in the “Data Controller” section of this Privacy Policy.
Collection of Your Data
Personal data is collected, on the one hand, when you actively provide it, e.g., by filling out a contact form. Other data is collected automatically or with your consent when you visit the website by the data controller’s IT systems. This primarily consists of technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system, or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you access the website.
Use of Your Data
Some of the data is collected to ensure the website functions properly. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior in order to optimize the website and tailor it to your needs.
Transfer of Data to Third Parties
As part of the data controller’s business operations, it may be necessary to transfer personal data to external parties. Such transfers take place exclusively under specific conditions: when the transfer is necessary to fulfill a contract; when there is a legal obligation, such as to tax authorities; when there is a legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR; or when another legal basis permits the data transfer. When external service providers are used for data processing, the transfer of personal data takes place exclusively on the basis of a valid data processing agreement in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR. If the data is processed jointly with other entities, a joint processing agreement is concluded in accordance with Article 26 of the GDPR.
Withdrawal of Consent to Data Processing
Certain data processing activities may only be carried out with your explicit consent. This consent may be withdrawn at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the time of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to Object to Specific Data Processing Activities and Marketing Measures (Art. 21 GDPR)
If the processing of your personal data is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right to object to such processing at any time, provided you have grounds arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The specific legal basis for the data processing can be found in this Privacy Policy. If you object, the data controller will no longer process your personal data unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR).
If your personal data is used for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to this processing at any time. This also applies to profiling, provided it is related to direct marketing. Once you have objected, the controller will no longer use your personal data for these marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) of the GDPR).
Rights under the General Data Protection Regulation
You have the right to file a complaint with a competent supervisory authority in the event of violations of the GDPR. This right may be exercised, in particular, in the Member State where you have your habitual residence, your workplace, or the location of the alleged violation. Other administrative or judicial remedies remain unaffected by this.
Personal data that is processed automatically on the basis of consent or to fulfill a contract may be requested in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. Upon request, this data may also be transferred directly to another data controller, provided this is technically feasible.
Every data subject has the right to receive, free of charge, information about their stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of the data processing. In addition, there is a right to have this data corrected or deleted, provided that legal provisions permit it. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding personal data, you may contact the data controller at any time.
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of personal data if the accuracy of the data is disputed and a verification is pending. In cases of unlawful processing, you may also request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure. Furthermore, restriction may be requested if the data is no longer needed but is required to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims. In the event of an objection to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, the right to restriction also applies until it is clarified whose interests prevail.
If the processing of personal data is restricted, such data may, apart from storage, be processed only with the consent of the data subject or for the purpose of asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims, protecting the rights of other natural or legal persons, or for reasons of an important public interest of the EU or a Member State.

4. Definitions
To ensure the transparency of this Privacy Policy and make it understandable to everyone, this policy primarily uses terms that are also defined in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The complete legal definitions can be found in Article 4 of the GDPR. The following explains the most important terms in connection with this Privacy Policy:
Personal Data: This includes all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). A person is considered identifiable if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by association with an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier (e.g., a cookie), or one or more specific characteristics that reflect that person’s physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity.
Processing: This term covers any action or set of actions performed in connection with personal data, regardless of whether they are carried out with or without the aid of automated means. This may include the collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction of data.
Controller: This is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
Processor: A natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

Website: The website refers to the entire online offering provided by the controller under a specific URL. This includes all content, information, features, and services published by the controller that are made available to the user via this URL. The website serves as a digital platform for providing information and services and for interaction between the controller and users.
End Device: An end device is an electronic device capable of accessing the Internet and loading web pages. These include, among others, computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
These definitions help you better understand the Privacy Policy and grasp the meaning of the terms used.
5. Hosting
This website is hosted on the servers of an external service provider to ensure that you can use this online service reliably and securely.
Data processing by the hosting provider is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, as the controller has a legitimate interest in providing a stable and secure website. If it is necessary to obtain the user’s consent (for example, for the use of certain cookies or tracking technologies), data processing is based on the user’s consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TTDSG. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect.
The hosting provider is: Squarespace Ireland Limited, Squarespace House, Ship Street Great, Dublin 8, D08 N12C.
Details regarding data processing and data protection can be found in the hosting provider’s privacy policy. You can find it here: https://de.squarespace.com/datenschutz
6. Legal Basis for Data Processing
The processing of your personal data is based on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant legal provisions. Different legal bases apply depending on the purpose of the data processing.
If you have consented to the processing of your personal data, such processing is based on your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. This applies in particular to the processing of special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, as well as to the transfer of personal data to third countries pursuant to Article 49(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time.
The processing of your data may be necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of precontractual measures and, in this case, is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. In addition, processing may be necessary to comply with legal obligations, in which case it is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.
In certain cases, processing is carried out to protect the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, provided that your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not take precedence. This processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
For certain processing activities, national regulations—such as Section 25 of the German Teleservices Data Protection Act (TTDSG) regarding the storage of cookies or access to information on your device—may also apply. The applicable legal bases are explained in detail in the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy.
If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of precontractual measures, the processing of your data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Where data processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, it is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In addition, data processing may be based on legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The specific legal bases in each individual case are explained in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.
7. Data Transfer to Third Countries with Insufficient Data Protection Standards and U.S. Companies Not Certified Under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF)
If this website uses tools from companies based in third countries with insufficient data protection standards, or if it uses U.S. tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), your personal data may be transferred to and processed in those countries. Please note that in third countries deemed unsafe under data protection law, a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed. For the United States, as a non-EU country with insufficient data protection standards, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU is generally not guaranteed. A data transfer to the United States is therefore only permitted if the recipient either holds certification under the “EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has appropriate additional safeguards in place. Detailed information on potential transfers to non-EU countries, including the data recipients, can be found in this Privacy Policy.
8. Retention Period
Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this Privacy Policy, personal data will remain with the data controller until the purpose for which the data is processed no longer applies. If a legitimate request for erasure is made or consent to data processing is revoked, the relevant data will be erased, provided there are no other legally permissible grounds for retaining the personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law). In such cases, the data will be erased once these grounds no longer apply.
The data controller stores personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the respective purposes for which the data was collected. These include, in particular, the fulfillment of contractual obligations, compliance with statutory retention periods, and the protection of the data controller’s legitimate interests, such as IT security and protection against misuse. If the processing of personal data is based on consent, the data will be stored until the data subject revokes that consent. Such revocation is possible at any time with future effect. Thereafter, the data will be deleted immediately, unless there are statutory retention obligations or other overriding legal reasons that require further storage.
In summary, personal data is deleted once the purpose for which it was collected has been fulfilled or the legal basis for its storage no longer applies, unless there are continuing legal obligations or legitimate interests that justify further storage.
9. Security Measures and Data Minimization
Comprehensive technical and organizational measures are taken to effectively protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorized disclosure or access. Care is taken to ensure that only the data absolutely necessary for the respective purpose is collected and processed. This data minimization strategy helps to significantly reduce the risk of misuse and unauthorized access. The security measures are continuously adapted to the state of the art to ensure a consistently high level of protection for your data.
10. SSL/TLS Encryption
To protect the security of your data during transmission, state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g., SSL or TLS) are used via HTTPS. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are protocols for encrypting data transmissions over the Internet. This ensures that the data exchanged between your browser and the server is protected from unauthorized access. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar.
11. Storage of User Information in Log Files
Every time you access the website, general information that your browser transmits to the server is automatically collected. This information is stored in so-called log files and typically includes: the IP address of the requesting computer; the date and time of access; the name and URL of the file accessed; the website from which the access originated (referrer URL); the browser used and user agent string; the operating system; the name of your Internet service provider; and the HTTP status code.
This data is stored for security reasons, to ensure a smooth connection to the website, to facilitate convenient use of the website, to evaluate system security and stability, and for other administrative purposes. The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the stated purposes of data collection. Under no circumstances will the collected data be used to draw conclusions about your identity. The stored data will be anonymized or deleted unless there are legal retention requirements.
12. Cookies
This website uses cookies. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit the site. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device and do not contain viruses, Trojans, or other malware.
Information related to the specific device you are using is stored in the cookie. However, this does not mean that the controller thereby gains direct knowledge of your identity.
The use of cookies serves, on the one hand, to make your experience with the website more pleasant. For example, the controller uses so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of the website. These are automatically deleted when you leave the site.
In addition, to optimize user-friendliness, the controller also uses temporary cookies that are stored on your device for a specific, predetermined period of time. If you visit the site again to use the services, the system automatically recognizes that you have been there before and recalls the entries and settings you made, so you do not have to re-enter them.
In addition, the controller uses cookies to collect statistical data on the use of the website and to evaluate this data for the purpose of optimizing the content offered to you. These cookies enable the controller to automatically recognize that you have previously visited the site when you return. These cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time.
The data processed by cookies is necessary for the stated purposes to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller and third parties pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or so that a notification always appears before a new cookie is created. Please note, however, that completely disabling cookies may prevent you from using all features of the website.
13. Inquiries by Email or Phone
You may submit inquiries to the data controller via email or by phone. The personal data provided in connection with such inquiries (e.g., name, email address, phone number, and the inquiry itself) will be processed and stored by the data controller solely for the purpose of handling the inquiry and any follow-up questions.
The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, as the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. If the processing is not related to a contract, it is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, as the data controller has a legitimate interest in processing and responding to the inquiries.
14. Inquiries via WhatsApp
You may submit inquiries to the data controller via WhatsApp. Please note that WhatsApp stores the transmitted data on servers in the United States. Therefore, you should not transmit any sensitive information through this channel. The personal data you provide (e.g., name, phone number, and the inquiry itself) will be processed and stored by the data controller solely for the purpose of handling your inquiry and any follow-up questions. The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, as the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. If the processing is not related to a contract, it is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, as the data controller has a legitimate interest in processing and responding to inquiries. Additional information regarding the processing of your personal data by WhatsApp can be found in their Privacy Policy at: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/.
15. Prohibition on Sending Advertising Emails
The use of the contact information published in the legal notice to send unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby prohibited. Any unauthorized use of the contact information for advertising purposes constitutes a violation of the rights of the operator of this website and will not be tolerated. The operator of this website expressly reserves the right to take legal action in the event of violations, particularly in the case of unsolicited promotional communications such as spam emails.
16. Newsletter
If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, the data controller requires a valid email address from you, as well as information that allows verification that you are the owner of the provided email address and consent to receiving the newsletter (double opt-in procedure). No other data is collected. This data is used exclusively for sending the requested information and is not disclosed to third parties.
The processing of the data entered in the newsletter sign-up form is based exclusively on your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may revoke your consent to the storage of your data and email address, as well as their use for sending the newsletter, at any time—for example, by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter or by sending a message to the data controller. The lawfulness of any data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by this revocation.
The data you provided for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted after you unsubscribe. Data stored by the controller for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the members’ area) remains unaffected by this.
Mailchimp
The newsletter is sent via Mailchimp. Mailchimp is a service provided by The Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. The email addresses of newsletter recipients, as well as other data described in this notice, are stored on Mailchimp’s servers in the United States. Mailchimp uses this information to send and analyze the newsletters on behalf of the data controller. In addition, according to its own information, Mailchimp may use this data to optimize or improve its own services—for example, to technically optimize the delivery and presentation of newsletters or for business purposes, such as determining which countries the recipients are from. However, Mailchimp does not use the data of newsletter recipients to contact them directly or to share it with third parties.
The Rocket Science Group LLC, d/b/a Mailchimp, is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), which ensures an adequate level of protection for the transfer of personal data from the EU to the U.S. Every company certified under the DPF commits to complying with these strict data protection standards.

For more information about Mailchimp's privacy policy, please visit: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy.
In addition, technical and organizational security measures are in place to protect your personal data against tampering, loss, destruction, or unauthorized access. These security measures are continuously improved in line with technological advancements.
Sending to Existing Customers Without Consent
Newsletters may be sent to existing customers even without their explicit consent under certain conditions. This is permitted under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR if the following conditions are met: Existing customer status—the customer provided their email address in connection with the sale of a product or service; Direct marketing for the company’s own similar products or services—the newsletter contains only advertising for the company’s own similar products or services; Notice of the right to object—the customer was clearly informed, both at the time the email address was collected and in every newsletter, that they may object to the use of their email address at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the standard rates; No objection by the customer—the customer has not objected to the use of their email address.
This method of sending newsletters is based on the controller’s legitimate interest in informing existing customers about similar products or services and in maintaining the business relationship. The data is processed in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
Of course, customers may object to the use of their email address for this purpose at any time. To do so, simply send an informal email to the data controller or click the “Unsubscribe” link in the respective newsletter.

Your data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.
21. Credit Check Before Entering into a Contract
To ensure customers’ ability to pay, credit checks may be conducted under certain circumstances before a contract is entered into. These checks are intended to minimize the risk of non-payment and ensure a secure business relationship.
As part of the credit check, personal data such as name, address, date of birth, and contact information may be transmitted to specialized credit reporting agencies.
