On our blog, you may be able to comment on posts or subscribe to comment notifications.

8. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses cookies and comparable technologies exclusively to the extent technically necessary to provide basic website functions (e.g., language settings, navigation, form protection). Data stored in technically necessary cookies is not used to identify website users or analyze their behavior.

Legal bases

  • For storing and reading technically necessary information: Section 25(2) TDDDG (formerly TTDSG),
  • for subsequent processing of personal data: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in providing a functional website).

No tracking or marketing cookies

We currently do not use cookies for analytics, tracking, or marketing purposes. We also do not use tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or comparable services. If such services are used in the future, we will obtain your consent in advance and update this privacy policy accordingly.

9. Embedded content and third-party links

Our website may contain linked third-party content (e.g., websites of references, service providers, review portals). By clicking such a link, you leave our website. The respective providers are solely responsible for processing personal data on third-party pages.

Embedded content (e.g., videos, maps) is—where possible—integrated in a way that data is only transmitted after your active click. If services are used that transfer data to third countries (e.g., the USA), we will inform you transparently and—where required—obtain your consent.

10. Recipients of personal data

Within our company, only those departments have access to your data that require it to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations.

We use selected external service providers (e.g., hosting, IT service providers) to provide our website and operate our processes. These providers act as processors pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. They have been carefully selected, contractually bound, and may process data only in accordance with our instructions.

Otherwise, data will only be passed on to third parties if this is necessary to fulfill a contract with you, if we are legally obliged to do so, or if you have explicitly consented.

11. Transfers to third countries

Personal data is transferred to countries outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) only if this is necessary to fulfill a contract, you have consented, or another legal permission applies—and only under the conditions of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR (e.g., adequacy decision of the EU Commission or standard contractual clauses).

If we use services involving such third-country transfers, we will provide separate information in this privacy policy.

12. Storage period

Unless otherwise stated for specific processing activities, the following applies:

  • We process and store personal data only as long as necessary for the respective purposes.
  • Once the purpose no longer applies, the data is deleted unless statutory retention obligations (e.g., commercial and tax law) prevent deletion or the data is needed to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

13. Your rights as a data subject

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights with regard to your personal data in particular:

  • Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
  • Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
  • Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”, Art. 17 GDPR)
  • Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
  • Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
  • Right to object to certain processing (Art. 21 GDPR)
  • Right to withdraw consent with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR)
  • Right not to be subject to a solely automated decision, including profiling (Art. 22 GDPR); we do not use such procedures.

You can exercise your rights at any time using the contact details provided above.

14. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority regarding the processing of your personal data (Art. 77 GDPR).

The authority responsible for us is in particular:

Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information
Alt-Moabit 59–61
10555 Berlin
Phone: +49 30 13889-0
Email: mailbox@datenschutz-berlin.de
Web: https://www.datenschutz-berlin.de

16. No automated decision-making / profiling

We do not use your data for automated decision-making including profiling within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.
