Below, we explain what information is collected, how it is processed, and what rights you have under UK GDPR.

1. Collection and Storage of Personal Data as well as Type and Purpose of Use

a) When Visiting the Website

Each time a customer, partner, or visitor accesses our website, information is automatically sent by the Internet browser on your device (computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) to our website’s server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file.

The following data is collected automatically without your intervention and stored until automated deletion:

• The IP address of the requesting computer, device ID, or unique device identifier and device type,
• The name of the retrieved file and the amount of data transferred, as well as the date and time of access,
• A message confirming successful retrieval,
• The requesting domain,
• A description of the type of Internet browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your device and the name of your access provider,
• Your browser history data and your standard weblog information,
• Location data, including location data from your mobile device. Please note that you can control or disable the use of location services in the settings menu on most mobile devices.

Our legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR for collecting the data is based on the following purposes:

• Ensuring a smooth connection setup and comfortable use of the website,
• Evaluation of system security and stability, and
• Other administrative purposes.

Under no circumstances do we use the collected data to draw conclusions about you personally.

b) When Using Our Contact Form

If you have any questions, we offer you the opportunity to contact us via a form provided on the website. At least a valid email address and your name are required so that we know who the inquiry is from and can respond to it. Additional information can be provided voluntarily.

The data processing for the purpose of contacting us is based on your voluntarily given consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR.

The personal data we collect for the use of the contact form will be automatically deleted after the inquiry has been processed.

c) When Entering into a Contractual Relationship

When entering into a contractual relationship on our website or using our partner portal, we ask you to provide the following personal data:

• Data that personally identifies you, such as your name, email address, address, and phone number, date of birth,
• Information about your payment method,
• Data that identifies your company, such as company name, address, contact details (email address, telephone number, fax number), and if applicable, VAT number or tax number,
• Other personal data we are legally obliged or entitled to collect and process and that we require for your authentication, identification, or to verify the data we have collected.

The data mentioned is processed to fulfill the contractual relationship. The processing of the data is based on Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR. The retention period is limited to the purpose of the contract and, where applicable, statutory and contractual retention obligations.

d) When Registering for Our Newsletter

Provided that you have expressly consented in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR, we use your email address to send you our newsletter regularly.

You can unsubscribe at any time, for example, via a link at the end of each newsletter. Alternatively, you can send your unsubscribe request at any time to [email protected] (preferably with the subject: “Unsubscribe Newsletter”).

2. Disclosure of Personal Data

Your data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only share your data with third parties if:

• You have given your explicit consent (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR),
• This is necessary for the performance of a contract with you (Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR),
• There is a legal obligation to transfer the data (Article 6(1)(c) UK GDPR),
• The disclosure is necessary for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR).

In these cases, the scope of the transferred data is limited to the necessary minimum.

Our privacy policy complies with the current data protection regulations, and data is processed solely within the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA). No data will be transferred to third countries.

3. Rights of Data Subjects

In accordance with Article 15 UK GDPR, upon request, we will inform you if and what personal data we have stored about you, including the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data, the recipients to whom your data has been disclosed, the planned storage duration, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, or objection, the existence of a right to complain, the origin of your data if it was not collected by us, and the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling.

You also have the right to have incorrect personal data corrected or incomplete data completed (Article 16 UK GDPR).

Furthermore, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your data if the legal requirements for this are met (Article 18 UK GDPR).

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format or to request the transfer to another controller (Article 20 UK GDPR).

Additionally, you have the “right to be forgotten,” meaning you can request the deletion of your personal data if the legal requirements for this are met (Article 17 UK GDPR).

According to Article 7(3) UK GDPR, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This means we can no longer continue data processing based on this consent.

You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time if a right to object is provided by law. In the case of a valid objection, your personal data will also be automatically deleted by us (Article 21 UK GDPR).

If you wish to exercise your right to withdraw consent or object, an email to [email protected] is sufficient.

In the event of data protection violations, you have the right to file a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority, which in the UK is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

4. Duration of Data Storage

The data collected will be stored for as long as is necessary to carry out the contracts with us or until you exercise your right to erasure or your right to transfer data to another company.

5. Use of Cookies

When you visit our website, information is stored on your computer in the form of “cookies.” Cookies allow us to tailor our website to your preferences and save your password so you do not have to re-enter it each time.

The data processed by cookies is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests as well as those of third parties in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR.

6. Security Notice

We strive to store your personal data so that it is not accessible to third parties or the public by taking all possible technical and organizational measures. However, complete data security cannot be guaranteed by us when communicating via email, so we recommend using the postal route for confidential information.
