Privacy Policy

1.1 We are pleased that you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest. On the following pages, we inform you about the handling of your personal data when using our website. Personal data is all data with which you can be personally identified.

1.2 The controller in charge of data processing on this website, within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is:

The controller in charge of the processing of personal data is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

2.1 When using our website for information only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called "server log files"). When you visit our website, we collect the following data that is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

• · Our visited website
• · Date and time at the moment of access
• · Amount of data sent in bytes
• · Source/reference from which you came to the page
• · Browser used
• · Operating system used
• · IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)

Data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be passed on or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to check the server log files subsequently, if there are any concrete indications of illegal use.

2.2 This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g. orders or inquiries to the controller). You can recognize an encrypted connection by the character string https:// and the lock symbol in your browser line.

For the hosting of our website and the presentation of the page content, we use a provider that provides its services itself or through selected subcontractors exclusively on servers within the European Union.

All data collected on our website is processed on these servers.

We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for establishing contact and for the associated technical administration.

The legal basis for processing data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) point b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your enquiry; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been finally clarified, provided there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary.

Subscribe to our e-mail newsletter

If you register for our e-mail newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory data for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of further data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for sending the newsletter. This means that we will only send you an e-mail newsletter once you have expressly confirmed that you consent to receiving newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation e-mail asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter in future by clicking on an appropriate link.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent for the use of your personal data pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR. When you register for the newsletter, we store your IP address entered by your Internet service provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration for the purpose of tracing any possible misuse of your e-mail address at a later date. The data collected by us when you register for the newsletter is used exclusively for the promotional purposes by way of the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the responsible person named at the beginning. After unsubscribing, your e-mail address will be deleted from our newsletter distribution list immediately, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data, or we reserve the right to a more extensive use your data which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

6.1 To fulfilll the contract, we work with the following service provider(s), who support us in whole or in part in the execution of concluded contracts. Certain personal data is transferred to these service providers in accordance with the following information.

Paddle

A checkout system from the following provider is available on this website: Paddle.com Market Ltd, Judd House, 18-29 Mora Street, London, EC1V 8BT, United Kingdom.

When you initiate the ordering process, you will be redirected to a web interface operated by the provider, where you can complete and pay for the order by entering your billing and delivery address and your payment details. The provider is originally responsible for collecting this data and processes the payment in its own name.

After placing and paying for the order, the provider transmits the order data and transaction details to us in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR to the extent necessary for contract processing so that we can fulfill the order.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that protects the data of our website visitors and prohibits disclosure to third parties.

An adequate level of data protection is guaranteed at the provider's location by an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

Consumers who conclude contracts on this website for which a statutory right of withdrawal exists have the option to declare their withdrawal via an electronic withdrawal function, in accordance with the applicable withdrawal provisions.

When using the withdrawal function, in addition to details identifying the specific contract being withdrawn from, other personal information, such as the consumer's first name, last name, and email address, must be provided or confirmed.

The collection of this information and its transmission to us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point b of the GDPR, and only to the extent necessary for the proper processing of the withdrawal request. Furthermore, and also based on Art. 6 (1) point b of the GDPR, the provided personal data is used to confirm receipt of the withdrawal declaration via email. An additional legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) point c of the GDPR. We are legally obligated to provide an electronic cancellation function for remunerated distance contracts concluded with consumers.

Plausible

This website uses "Plausible," a web analytics tool provided by Plausible Insights OÜ, Västriku tn 2, 50403 Tartu, Estonia.

Plausible anonymously records and analyzes the interactions of randomly selected individual visitors with the website to collect information about website usage (such as visitor numbers, page views, bounce rates, and time spent on the site).

At no time is personal data processed. When you use this website, Plausible collects only non-personal data, such as browser and user agent information. This data is stored in a non-personally identifiable form and analyzed for statistical purposes. It is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for our analysis.

If, in individual cases, personal data is processed, this processing is based on our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization purposes, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR.

First-Party Analytics

We operate a self-hosted analytics component within our application infrastructure, running exclusively on servers within the European Union. No data is transmitted to external providers.

This component records account-creation events (signups) to help us measure service adoption and improve the onboarding experience. The following data is stored per event: the event type ("signup"), the signup method used (e.g. email, Google, invitation), the subscription plan tier at signup time, and the newly created user ID for internal correlation. No cookies, IP addresses, browser fingerprints, or device identifiers are collected.

The processing is based on our legitimate interest in measuring and improving our service, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR. As the data is stored exclusively on our own EU-based servers and is not shared with any third party, no separate order processing contract is required.

Google Sign-In

On our website we provide a single sign-on function offered by the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 ESW5, Ireland.

In addition to the transfer of data to the above-mentioned provider location, data may also be transferred to: Google LLC, USA.

If you have an account with the provider, you can use this account data to create a user account or to register on our website.

When you visit this page, a direct connection between your browser and the provider's servers can be established via this login function, even if you do not have an account with the provider or are not logged in to one. The provider thereby receives the information that you have visited our site. The information collected in this respect (including your IP address, if applicable) is transmitted by your browser directly to a server of the provider and stored there. However, the information is not used to identify you personally and is not passed on to third parties.

These data processing operations are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in a user-friendly and interactive design of our online presence.

If you click on the registration button to register with your account data by logging into the provider's website, the provider will transmit the general and publicly accessible information stored in your account (user ID, name, address, e-mail address, age, and gender) to us based on your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR.

We store and use the data transmitted by the provider to set up a user account containing the necessary data (title, first name, surname, address data, country, email address, date of birth), if you have released that data to the provider. Conversely, data (e.g., information about your surfing or purchasing behavior) may be transferred from us to your account held with the provider based on your consent.

The consent given can be revoked at any time with effect for the future vis-à-vis us.
