In accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, and taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

These measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as access to, input, disclosure, and availability of the data and its segregation. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data, and responses to data risks. We also take the protection of personal data into account already when developing or selecting hardware, software, and procedures, in line with the principle of privacy by design and by default (Art. 25 GDPR).

If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors or third parties), transfer it to them, or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only be done on the basis of a legal permission (e.g., if transferring the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary for contract performance pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), if you have consented, if a legal obligation provides for it, or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g., when using web hosting providers, etc.).

If we engage third parties to process data on the basis of a “data processing agreement,” this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.

The hosting services we use serve to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, email delivery, security services, and technical maintenance services, which we use for the purpose of operating this online offering.

In doing so, we, or our hosting provider, process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, and meta/communication data of customers, prospects, and visitors to this online offering on the basis of our legitimate interest in an efficient and secure provision of this online offering pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR (conclusion of a data processing agreement).

We use the Resend service to send emails, in particular for contact form confirmations and notifications.
