Processing only takes place if there is a corresponding legal basis – in particular:
If consent is required, we will obtain it transparently via a cookie or consent management tool. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with future effect.
Note on the legal basis of consent
If we obtain your consent to process personal data, this is done on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. The revocation can be made informally, e.g., by email or post. You can find our contact details above under "Controller."
To document your consent, we also process the following information:
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 (1) GDPR.
The documentation data will be stored for a period of three years. This period begins on the day you give your consent.
Protection of minors
Persons under the age of 16 may not submit any personal data to us without the prior consent of their parents or guardians. We do not request personal data from children and young people, do not knowingly store it, and do not share it with third parties. If we become aware that personal data from minors has been collected without the consent of their parents or guardians, it will be deleted immediately.
Categories of recipients of personal data
Your personal data may be transferred to the following categories of recipients within the framework of the legal requirements:
Transfer to external service providers
In certain cases, we use external service providers to process personal data on our behalf. This is done on the basis of the following legal bases:
If you participate in promotions, competitions, or other services that we offer jointly with partner companies, data may be shared with these partners. In these cases, we will inform you in advance and immediately upon the respective service.
All external service providers are carefully selected, committed to compliance with applicable data protection regulations and regularly monitored.
If we commission third parties to process your data, this will only be done on the basis of a contract in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
Data transfer to third countries
If we use features or services from third-party providers based outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA), your personal data may be transferred to third countries. This transfer will only take place under the conditions of the GDPR, in particular if:
Note on data transfers to the USA
We expressly point out that, according to current case law of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), there is no adequate level of data protection for transfers to the USA. US service providers may be required to disclose data to US authorities. Furthermore, data may be linked to other data, for example, if you maintain a user account there. Anonymous processing is also not guaranteed in all cases.
Where possible, we only select providers with server locations within the EU.
This information is provided as a precautionary measure. A specific transfer to a third country only occurs if this is expressly stated in the individual processing operations. It is possible that we will not make use of this option.
Data deletion and storage period
We process and store your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the respective purposes. Once the purpose for storage no longer applies, the data will be deleted or blocked.
Further storage may occur if required by law—for example, due to retention obligations under commercial or tax law (e.g., under the German Commercial Code, the Tax Code, or the Money Laundering Act). In these cases, the data will be deleted after the statutory retention periods have expired, unless there is another legal basis for processing .
Personal data may also be retained for the duration of statutory limitation periods if this is necessary to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims. The standard limitation period is generally three years, but may be up to 30 years in individual cases.
Further storage will only occur if it is necessary to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Rights as a data subject
As a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR, you are entitled to various rights that you can assert against us at any time:
You have the right to request information about the personal data we process, including the purposes of processing, categories of recipients, planned storage period and your other rights in connection with this data processing.
You may request the immediate correction of inaccurate or the completion of incomplete personal data.
You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data stored by us, provided that there are no statutory retention periods or other legal reasons that prevent deletion.
Under certain circumstances, you may request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, common and machine-readable format and to transmit this data to another controller.
You can object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons related to your particular situation. This applies in particular to data processing based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
If we process your data on the basis of your consent, you have the right to revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.
If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR, you can lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The competent authority is usually the supervisory authority in your place of residence or our company headquarters.

Social standard plugins with 2-click solution
Our website uses so-called "social plugins" from social networks. To ensure you retain full control over your data, we use the so-called 2-click solution. This means: When you first visit our website, no data is automatically transmitted to the respective social media provider. Only when you activate the respective plugin by clicking on it will a connection to the respective provider's servers be established.
These plugins are clearly identified by the logo of the respective social network (e.g., Facebook logo, Instagram logo, etc.). If you activate a plugin and access our website, the provider can determine that you have visited our website. If you are logged in to the respective social network at the same time, the provider can assign the visit to your user account.
We ourselves do not receive any information about the content of the transmitted data or its use by the social network.
The activation of the plug-ins and thus the transmission of data only takes place with your express consent, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating the plug-ins in the cookie settings or using the corresponding functions in your browser.
Please note that by activating the plugins, personal data may also be transferred to countries outside the European Union that do not offer a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU (e.g., the USA). In this case, you bear the risk that your data may be viewed or evaluated by government authorities.
For further information on data processing by the respective providers as well as on your rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the respective data protection declarations of the providers.
We use the social plugins from Instagram, Instagram, Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland .
The plugins are integrated into our website using the "2-click solution". When you visit our website, your internet browser does not establish a direct connection to the Instagram server. Your browser only establishes a direct connection to the Instagram servers if you actively click on the Instagram plugin and thereby consent to the data transfer. Once the connection is established, Instagram will transmit the content of the plugin directly to your browser and integrate it into the website. This enables Instagram to process and store all personal data about your website visit. Since the plugin content is forwarded directly from Instagram to your browser and integrated into the website, we have no influence on the amount of data Instagram collects. This applies regardless of whether you have an Instagram profile or are currently logged in as a member. The data (including your (IP) address) is transmitted from your browser directly to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there. The integration of the plugins enables Instagram to assign the information that you visited the respective website to your Instagram account.
This data is usually transmitted to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there. The USA is not a member state of the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) and is therefore a so-called third country. The EU Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for the USA as a country.
Information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Instagram as well as your rights and setting options can be found in Instagram's privacy policy: https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388
We use social plugins from the social network LinkedIn on our website, operated by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
The plugins are integrated via a so-called "2-click solution." This means that when you visit our website, no direct connection is established to the LinkedIn servers. Only when you actively click on the plugin and thus consent to the data transfer does your browser establish a direct connection to the LinkedIn servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from LinkedIn to your browser and integrated into the website.
By activating the plugin, LinkedIn receives the information that you have visited our website. If you are logged in to LinkedIn at the time of activation, LinkedIn can assign the visit to your user account. If you interact with the plugin, e.g., by clicking the "Share" button, this information is also transmitted directly to LinkedIn and stored there.
This data is generally transmitted to LinkedIn servers in the USA and stored there. The USA is considered a so-called third country within the meaning of the GDPR. The EU Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for the USA. There is a risk that US authorities could access your data without you having any effective legal remedy.
The legal basis for the integration is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, which you can grant as part of the cookie settings. You can revoke your consent at any time by adjusting the cookie settings on our website.
Further information on the collection and use of data by LinkedIn as well as your rights and setting options can be found in LinkedIn's privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

WhatsApp Business using the Shariff solution
We use the social plugins from WhatsApp, WhatsApp Inc., from the social network facebook.com, Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
The protection of your personal data is very important to us. For this reason, we do not use WhatsApp share buttons as plugins on our website without restrictions. We use the c't project "Shariff" on our website. "Shariff" uses only an HTML link to embed the share buttons as graphics on our website, so that when you visit our website, your internet browser does not yet establish a connection to the WhatsApp server. You can only conveniently send content from our website to your WhatsApp contacts after you have actively clicked the retweet button. We have no knowledge of whether and, if so, which personal data WhatsApp collects from you, and we have no influence over this.
The WhatsApp sharing button is merely a link to the provider WhatsApp. Therefore, simply accessing our website does not transmit any data. Only when you click the button does WhatsApp learn which website you came from – as with any link. This information (including your (IP) address) is transmitted from your browser directly to a WhatsApp server in the USA and stored there. The further processing of this information is the sole responsibility of WhatsApp.
By transmitting data via the WhatsApp button, you consent to us communicating with you in this way. All communication via WhatsApp is end-to-end encrypted ( peer -to- peer ).

External fonts
We use external fonts on this website to provide a visually appealing text and a consistent user experience. These fonts are loaded from an external provider's servers when you visit the website.
Using these external fonts may result in data such as your IP address and the specific fonts loaded on your device being transferred to the respective provider. This is solely for the purpose of displaying the fonts correctly. No personal data is stored or used for other purposes unless you are logged in with an account of the respective provider and have consented to this.
Below you will find a list of the external fonts we use and the respective providers who provide them.
Adobe Fonts (local integration)
On this website, we use Adobe Fonts, a service provided by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited, 4–6 Riverwalk , Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Ireland. However, the fonts are embedded locally on our own server, so no connection is established to Adobe's servers and no personal data, such as your IP address, is transmitted to Adobe.
The use of Adobe Fonts is based on our legitimate interest in improving the visual design of our website and ensuring a consistent presentation of content, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
Because we host the fonts locally, no personal data is transferred to Adobe or other third parties. No data is transferred to Adobe unless you use other Adobe services that interact with our website.
Google Fonts (Local Integration)
We use Google Fonts on this website, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. However, the fonts are embedded locally on our own server, so no connection to Google's servers is established and no personal data such as your IP address is transmitted to Google.
The use of Google Fonts is based on our legitimate interest in improving the visual design of our website and ensuring a consistent presentation of content, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
Because we host the fonts locally, transferring personal data to Google is not necessary. No data is transferred to Google or other third parties unless you use other Google services that interact with our website.
WordPress Plugins
We use various WordPress plugins on our WordPress-based website to optimally market our offerings. These plugins are based on the content management system WordPress, provided by Automattic Inc., located at 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA, represented in the EU by Aut O'Mattic A8C Ireland Ltd., Grand Canal Dock, 25 Herbert Pl , Dublin, D02 AY86 Ireland.
The plug-ins we use, listed below, offer us additional functions. For this purpose, the plug-in content is loaded onto the information technology system of the data subject and displayed as part of the website presentation or used to improve the user experience.
The implemented functions send, store, and process data to Automattic Inc. Depending on which Automattic Inc. plugin is used, the following data may be collected:
This data may be transferred to an Automattic Inc. server in the USA and stored there. The USA is not a member state of the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) and therefore constitutes a so-called third country. The EU Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for the USA. Automattic Inc. may transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Automattic Inc.
There is no adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, but the transfer takes place using the standard contractual clauses pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR. Automattic Inc. has also ensured that the data protection requirements of the GDPR are met, including when transferring data to the USA.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, provided we ask for your consent to the use of third-party providers. Otherwise, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in using a modular system to create our website. The advantage lies in its ease of use and the many useful functions that help us provide a user-friendly and well-structured website.
If you do not wish Automattic Inc. to collect data through our website, you can prevent or restrict the storage or installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. Cookies already stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. Please note, however, that deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of the website.
