2. Explanation of terms

We have designed our privacy policy according to the principles of clarity and transparency. However, if there are any ambiguities regarding the use of various terms, the relevant definitions can be found here .

3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

We only process your personal data, such as your last name and first name, your eMail address and IP address, etc., if there is a legal basis for doing so.  Here, according to the General Data Protection Regulation, the following regulations in particular come into consideration:

• Art. 6 Sec. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR: The data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for one or more specific purposes.
• Art. 6 Sec. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR: 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 taken at the request of the data subject.
• Art. 6 Sec. 1 p. 1 lit. c GDPR: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
• Art. 6 Sec. 1 p. 1 lit. d GDPR: Processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
• Art. 6 Sec. 1 p. 1 lit. e GDPR: 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.
• Art 6 Sec. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR: Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests of the controller or of 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.

However, at the relevant points in this privacy policy, we will always point out once again the legal basis on which your personal data is processed.

You can find more detailed information on processing by the platform operator in the platform operator’s privacy policy.

4. Disclosure of personal data

The disclosure of personal data is also processing within the meaning of the previous point 3. However, at this point we would like to inform you again separately about the issue of passing on information to third parties. The protection of your personal data is very important to us. For this reason we are particularly careful when it comes to passing on your data to third parties.

Disclosure to third parties therefore only takes place if there is a legal basis for the processing. For example, we disclose personal data to persons or companies that act as processors for us in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. A processor is anyone who processes personal data on our behalf – i.e. in particular in a relationship of instruction and control with us.

In accordance with the requirements of the GDPR, we conclude a contract with each of our order processors to oblige them to comply with data protection regulations and thus provide comprehensive protection for your data.

We would like to point out that your data may also be passed on to third parties by the platform operator. However, we have no influence on this.

You can find more detailed information on processing by the platform operator in the platform operator’s privacy policy.

5. Storage period and deletion

We will retain any personal data you provide to us only for as long as it is needed to fulfil the purposes for which it was provided or as long as required by law. Upon fulfilment of the purpose and/or expiry of the statutory storage periods, the data will be deleted or blocked by us, provided that this is technically possible for us.

Information on data storage by the platform operator can be found in its privacy policy, see above.

6. SSL encryption

This platform uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries that you send to us or the platform operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. There is no separate marking within apps that SSL encryption is available.

If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

7. Collection and storage of personal data as well as their type and purpose of use

a) When visiting the platform

When you access the website of the platform operator, information is automatically sent to the server of the platform operator by the browser used on your end device or by the app. This information is temporarily stored by the platform operator in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without your intervention and stored until automated deletion:

• IP address of the requesting device
• Date and time of access
• Type of device you are using
• Name and URL of the retrieved file
• Website from which the access is made (referrer URL)
• The browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as the name of your access provider

However, these data are only available to the platform operator. It is not possible for us to access these data. Further information can be found in the platform operator’s privacy policy, see above.

We do not collect any personal data about you. However, it is possible to obtain pseudonymised data in the form of statistics about the users of our site over a certain period of time. The software for analysing user statistics is usually provided by the platform operator itself, but in some cases it is also possible to integrate third-party software (e.g. Google Analytics). This may collect data about the users of the site, such as age, gender, country of origin, browser used and interests.

However, these data are always pseudonymised and it is not possible for us to make statements about individual users on the basis of this data alone. We use this data exclusively to optimise the content we offer and its marketing and to adapt it to the respective user interests. This is a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Sec. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

b) For interactions with our account

Furthermore, it is possible for you to interact with our account. You can do this, for example, by marking a post with “Like”, sharing or commenting on it, or by writing to us directly.

When you interact with us, data processing by us is usually inevitable, as we can see your account and thus have access to your personal data, such as your user name, your profile picture or the date or time of the interaction.

We use this data exclusively to optimise the content we offer and its marketing and to adapt it to the respective user interests. This is a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Sec. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the above-mentioned reason of optimising the content we make available on our profile. Furthermore, the data collected is information that is only made available to us through your interaction with our profile. This establishes an authoritative and appropriate relationship between you and our profile.

Where deletion is possible by us, personal data will be deleted by us after 28 days at the latest, unless there is a legal basis for further processing beyond this period.

Further information on data processing by the platform operator can be found in the platform operator’s privacy policy, see above.

8. Cookies

This platform uses cookies on the entire site. Cookies are small data packets that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your end device when you visit the platform. These cookies are used to store information in connection with the respective end device used. However, a personal identification of your person is not possible through the cookies.

The data processed by cookies is necessary for the aforementioned purposes to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 Sec. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies due to the browser default setting. However, you can configure your browser in such a way that either no cookies are stored on your end device or at least a notice is displayed before a new cookie is stored. If you completely deactivate the cookie function in your browser, you may not be able to use all the functions of the platform.

Below we explain the different types of cookies used by the platform operator.

a) Session cookies

In order to make the use of our site more pleasant for you, the platform operator uses so-called session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages and profiles of the platform.

These session cookies are automatically deleted by the platform operator after you leave the platform.

b) Temporary cookies

The platform operator also uses cookies that allow you to be recognised when you visit the platform again and use the services of the platform operator. This way you do not have to make the entries and settings you made last time again.

These temporary cookies are stored on your terminal device for a certain period of time determined by the platform operator.

c) Cookies for optimisation purposes

Finally, the platform operator also uses cookies for optimisation purposes. These record the use of the platform statistically and are evaluated for the purpose of optimising the offer for you. The cookies enable the recognition of your internet browser when you visit the platform again.

These cookies are automatically deleted after a period of time defined by the platform operator.

Further information on the use of cookies by the platform operator can be found in the platform operator’s privacy policy, see above.
