3. General Notes and Mandatory Information

Data Protection

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data that can be used to personally identify you. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Markus Greiter
Jesenwanger Straße 4a
82288 Kottgeisering, Germany

Phone: +49 (0) 8144 56 99 77 8
Email: info@markusgreiter.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Period

Unless a more specific storage period is specified in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion takes place after these reasons no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Bases of Processing on this Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and, where special categories of data are processed, Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), processing additionally takes place on the basis of Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data are necessary for performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Where processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interests under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The specific legal basis applicable in each individual case is set out in the sections of this Privacy Policy below.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business, we work with various external parties. This may require the transfer of personal data to such parties. We only share personal data with external parties where this is necessary to fulfill a contract, where we are legally required to do so (e.g., transfer to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the transfer. Where processors are used, we only share our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint controller agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Processing

Many processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Processing in Specific Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR EACH PROCESSING OPERATION CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint With a Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to yourself or to a third party. Where you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place where technically feasible.

Access, Rectification, and Deletion

Within the scope of applicable law, you have the right at any time to free access to your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, a right to rectification or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time about this and any other questions regarding personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction applies in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
• If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted processing, your personal data – apart from storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content (e.g., orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator), this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser’s address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser bar.

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

Objection to Unsolicited Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the legal imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information, such as spam emails.

4. Data Collection on this Website

Cookies

Our web pages use “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not harm your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.

Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services provided by third parties within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payments).

Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions requested by you (e.g., the shopping cart), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audiences) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this Privacy Policy.

Server Log Files

The site provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data will not be combined with other data sources.

Data collection is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of the website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the form, including the contact details you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

Processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form remain with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.

For email sending and technical tracking, see the sections “Email Delivery via Microsoft 365” and “Email Logging via FluentSMTP”.

Request by Email, Telephone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent.

Processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to contract performance or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data sent to us via contact inquiries remain with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – particularly statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Email Delivery via Microsoft 365

For sending and receiving emails, we use the services of Microsoft 365, provided by Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland.

In the course of communication, personal data such as your name, email address, communication content, IP address, and other metadata are processed through Microsoft’s servers. The processing is carried out for the purpose of ensuring reliable and secure electronic communication.

The processing of data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest in maintaining functional and secure email communication).

If the contact is made for the initiation or performance of a contract, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

Data Processing Agreement

We have entered into a data processing agreement (DPA) with Microsoft pursuant to Article 28 of the GDPR. As part of its services, Microsoft may engage affiliated companies within the EU or in third countries. For data transfers to third countries, appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR (Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place.

For more information about Microsoft’s data protection practices, please visit: https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement

Email Logging via FluentSMTP

For the technical delivery and tracking of emails sent via our website (e.g., through the contact form), we use the locally installed WordPress plugin FluentSMTP.

FluentSMTP serves solely to technically connect our website to our email service provider and does not process personal data for its own purposes.

The plugin logs certain metadata related to email transmission (e.g., recipient address, subject line, time of dispatch) locally on our web server to ensure technical deliverability and to identify potential delivery errors.

These log files are deleted on a regular basis and are not shared with third parties.

The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest in maintaining secure and traceable email communication).

Real Cookie Banner

To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (e.g., tracking pixels or web beacons) and the related consents, we use the consent-management tool Real Cookie Banner. The provider is devowl.io GmbH, Tannet 12, 94539 Grafling, Germany.

Real Cookie Banner is installed locally on our servers. No data are transmitted to the provider’s servers. To store and manage the consents you grant or withdraw, Real Cookie Banner sets a technically necessary cookie in your browser.

Data stored in connection with this cookie are retained until you remove the cookie manually, the purpose of storage no longer applies, or you ask us to delete the data. Statutory retention obligations remain unaffected. Further information on how Real Cookie Banner works and processes data is available at: https://devowl.io/knowledge-base/real-cookie-banner-data-processing/.

The legal bases for processing personal data in this context are Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in compliant management of the cookies and similar technologies we use and of the related consents of website visitors.

Providing this personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, without this data, we cannot manage your consents via Real Cookie Banner.

5. Social Media

Social Media Share Elements with Shariff

This website uses elements of social media platforms (e.g., Bluesky, Flipboard, LinkedIn, Telegram, XING), particularly on blog pages. Our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR is to increase the usability and reach of our website.

You can recognize social-media elements by the corresponding logos. To protect your data, we only use these elements together with the “Shariff” solution. This technology was developed by Heise Online to improve privacy on the internet. It prevents the social-media elements integrated into this website from transmitting personal data to the respective providers when you first load the page.

Only when you activate a social-media element by clicking the associated button is a direct connection to the provider’s server established (consent). Once activated, the respective provider receives information that you visited this website with your IP address. If you are logged into your social-media account (e.g., LinkedIn) at the same time, the provider can associate your visit with your user account. No personal data are transmitted to the platform operators unless you click the buttons.

Activating the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. You can withdraw this consent at any time with future effect.

The use of the service also serves to obtain the legally required consents for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Links to Our Social Media Profiles (LinkedIn, XING)

On our website – particularly on the contact page – we provide links to our profiles on LinkedIn (provider: LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland) and XING (provider: New Work SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg, Germany).

Linking is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest), as we provide our online presence and communications via social networks without automatically transmitting data to third parties when the page is loaded.

These links are simple hyperlinks. No connection to the providers’ servers is made when our website is loaded. The social-media logos used on the contact page, behind which the hyperlinks are placed, are stored locally on our servers so that no data are transmitted to third parties when you access our website.

Only when you click the relevant link are you redirected to the respective social network. From that moment, data may be transmitted to the respective provider. The platform operator is solely responsible for that data processing.

For information on how personal data are handled, please refer to the providers’ privacy policies: LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy), XING (https://privacy.xing.com/en/privacy-policy).

6. Analytics and Advertising

IONOS WebAnalytics

This website uses the analytics services of IONOS WebAnalytics (“IONOS”). The provider is 1&1 IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Straße 57, D-56410 Montabaur, Germany. As part of analysis with IONOS, visitor numbers and behavior (e.g., number of page views, duration of a website visit, bounce rates), visitor sources (i.e., the page from which the visitor arrived), visitor locations, and technical data (browser and OS versions) can be analyzed. For this purpose, IONOS stores in particular the following data:

• Referrer (previously visited website)
• Requested web page or file
• Browser type and version
• Operating system used
• Device type used
• Time of access
• IP address in anonymized form (used only to determine the location of access)

According to IONOS, data collection is fully anonymized so it cannot be traced back to individual persons. IONOS WebAnalytics does not store cookies.

Storage and analysis of data are based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior to optimize both the web offering and advertising. Where consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Further information on data collection and processing by IONOS WebAnalytics can be found in IONOS’s privacy policy: https://www.ionos.co.uk/privacy-policy.

Data Processing Agreement

We have entered into a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with the provider named above. This legally required contract ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

WP Statistics

This website uses the analytics tool WP Statistics to statistically evaluate visitor access. The provider is Veronalabs, Tatari 64, 10134 Tallinn, Estonia (https://veronalabs.com).

WP Statistics enables us to analyze the use of our website. WP Statistics collects, among other things, log files (IP address, referrer, browsers used, user’s origin, search engine used) and actions performed by website visitors on the page (e.g., clicks and views).

Data collected with WP Statistics are stored exclusively on our own server.

Use of this analytics tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in anonymized analysis of user behavior to optimize both our web offering and our advertising. Where consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG insofar as consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

IP Anonymization

We use WP Statistics with IP anonymization. Your IP address is truncated so it can no longer be directly assigned to you.

7. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No other data are collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information.

Newsletter to Existing Customers

If you order services or goods from us and provide your email address in the process, we may subsequently use it to send newsletters, provided we inform you of this in advance. In such a case, the newsletter will contain direct advertising for our own similar goods or services only. You can unsubscribe from this newsletter at any time; a corresponding link is included in every newsletter. The legal basis for sending the newsletter in this case is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in conjunction with Section 7(3) UWG.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing list, your email address may be stored by us in a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You may object to storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

Newsletter Delivery and Analytics with Brevo

This website uses Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) to send newsletters and to analyze newsletter-related processes. The provider is Brevo GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany (“Brevo”).

If you enter your personal data in the newsletter sign-up form, you thereby consent to the collection, storage, and analysis of your data. These data are transmitted to and stored on Brevo’s servers operated within the European Union in order to enable delivery of the newsletter and statistical analysis.

Data analyzed include, in particular, whether a newsletter was delivered, whether it was opened by the recipient, and which links were clicked. These analyses help us continuously optimize the content of our newsletters and information offerings (legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Processing takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect, for example via the unsubscribe link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal remains unaffected.

Data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter are stored by us and/or by Brevo until you unsubscribe or the purpose of storage no longer applies.

After you are removed from the mailing list, your email address may be stored by us and/or the newsletter service provider in a so-called blacklist if necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist are used for this purpose only and are not combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You may object to storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

We reserve the right, at our discretion and based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter mailing list.

Data stored by us for other purposes remain unaffected.

Data Processing Agreement

We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Brevo pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. This obligates Brevo to process the personal data of our website visitors only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
