General information on data processing
Legal basis for the processing of personal data
In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal basis of our data processing. If the legal basis is not specified in the data protection notice, the following applies:
The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a i.V.m. Art. 7 GDPR. The legal basis for the processing for the fulfillment of our services and the implementation of contractual measures as well as for answering inquiries is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The legal basis for processing for the fulfillment of our legal obligations is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. If the processing of your data is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Data erasure and storage duration
We adhere to the principles of data minimization pursuant to Art. 5 para. 1 lit. c GDPR and storage limitation pursuant to Art. 5 para. 1 lit. e GDPR. We only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as provided for by the retention periods stipulated by law. After the respective purpose no longer applies or after these retention periods have expired, the corresponding data will be deleted as quickly as possible.
Note on the transfer of data to third countries
Tools from companies based in third countries (including the USA) are also integrated on our website. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transmitted to the servers of the respective companies. The level of data protection in third countries generally does not correspond to EU data protection law. There is therefore a risk that your data may be passed on to authorities in these countries. We have no influence on these processing activities.
External links
This website may contain links to third-party websites or to other websites under our responsibility. If you follow a link to a website outside our responsibility, please note that these websites have their own data protection information. We accept no responsibility or liability for these third-party websites and their data protection notices. Therefore, before using these websites, please check whether you agree with their data protection declarations.
You can recognize external links either by the fact that they are displayed in a different colour from the rest of the text or underlined. Your cursor will show you external links when you move it over such a link. Only when you click on an external link will your personal data be transferred to the destination of the link. In particular, the operator of the other website receives your IP address, the time at which you clicked on the link, the page on which you clicked on the link and other information that you can find in the data protection information of the respective provider.
Please also note that individual links may lead to data being transferred outside the European Economic Area. This could give foreign authorities access to your data. You may not have any legal remedies against this data access. If you do not want your personal data to be transferred to the link destination or even exposed to unwanted access by foreign authorities, please do not click on any links.
Rights of the data subject
As a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR, you have the opportunity to assert various rights. The data subject rights arising from the GDPR are the right of access (Article 15), the right to rectification (Article 16), the right to erasure (Article 17), the right to restriction of processing (Article 18), the right to object (Article 21), the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority and the right to data portability (Article 20).
Right of withdrawal:
Some data processing can only take place with your express consent. You have the option to withdraw your consent at any time. However, this does not affect the lawfulness of data processing up to the point of withdrawal.
Right of objection:
If the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you as the data subject can object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. You also have this right in the case of profiling based on these provisions within the meaning of Art. 4(4) GDPR. Unless we can demonstrate a legitimate interest in the processing that outweighs your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, we will refrain from processing your data after the objection has been made.
If the processing of personal data serves the purpose of direct marketing, you also have the right to object to this at any time. The same applies to profiling in connection with direct advertising. Here too, we will no longer process personal data as soon as you object.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority:
If you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to data portability:
If your data is processed automatically on the basis of consent or fulfillment of a contract, you have the right to receive this data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to request the transfer and provision of the data to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible.
Right of access, rectification and erasure:
You have the right to obtain information about your processed personal data with regard to the purpose of the data processing, the categories, the recipients and the duration of storage. If you have any questions on this topic or other topics relating to personal data, you can of course contact us using the contact details provided in the legal notice.
Right to restriction of processing:
You can request the restriction of the processing of your personal data at any time. To do so, you must fulfill one of the following requirements:
- You contest the accuracy of the personal data. You have the right to request the restriction of processing for the duration of the verification of accuracy.
- If the processing is unlawful, you can request the restriction of the use of the data as an alternative to erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need the data for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, you can request the restriction of processing as an alternative to erasure.
- If you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, your interests and ours will be weighed up. Until this balancing has taken place, you have the right to request the restriction of processing.
Restriction of processing means that, with the exception of storage, personal data 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 Union or of a Member State.
Provision of the website (web host)
Our website is hosted by:
Greenmark IT GmbH
represented by the managing directors Andreas Gundelach, Ali Jasarov
Leinstraße 3
31061 Alfeld (Leine)
Germany
When you visit our website, we automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files. Your browser automatically transmits this information to our server or to the server of our hosting company.
These are:
- IP address of the website visitor’s end device
- Device used
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Operating system of the visitor
- Browser type and version
- Name of the retrieved file
- Time of the server request
- Amount of data
- Information on whether the retrieval of the data was successful
This data is not merged with other data sources.
Instead of operating this website on our own server, we can also have it operated on the server of an external service provider (hosting company), which we have named above in this case. The personal data collected by this website will then be stored on the hosting company’s servers. In addition to the data mentioned above, the web host also stores contact requests, contact data, names, website access data, meta and communication data, contract data and other data generated via a website for us, for example.
The legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the technically error-free presentation and optimization of this website. If the website is accessed in order to enter into contractual negotiations with us or to conclude a contract, another legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. In the event that we have commissioned a hosting company, there is an order processing contract with this service provider.
Use of local storage items, session storage items and cookies
Our website uses local storage items, session storage items and/or cookies. Local storage is a mechanism that enables the storage of data within the browser on your end device. This data usually contains user preferences, such as the “day” or “night” mode of a website, and is retained until you delete the data manually. Session storage is very similar to local storage, whereas the storage period only lasts during the current session, i.e. until the current tab is closed. The session storage items are then deleted from your end device. Cookies are information that a web server (server that provides web content) stores on your end device in order to be able to identify this end device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) and deleted at the end of your visit to a website or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
These objects may also be stored on your device by third-party companies when you visit our website (third-party requests). This enables us as the operator and you as a visitor to this website to make use of certain third-party services that are installed on this website. Examples of this include the processing of payment services or the display of videos.
These mechanisms can be used in a variety of ways. They can improve the functionality of a website, control shopping cart functions, increase the security and convenience of website use and carry out analyses of visitor flows and behavior. Depending on the individual functions, these must be classified in terms of data protection law. If they are necessary for the operation of the website and intended to provide certain functions (shopping cart function) or serve to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure visitor behavior), they are used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the storage of local storage items, session storage items and cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services. In all other cases, local storage items, session storage items and cookies are only stored with your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
If local storage items, session storage or cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this separately in this data protection notice. Your required consent will be requested and can be revoked at any time.
Use of external services
External services are used on our website. External services are services from third-party providers that are used on our website. This can be done for various reasons, for example for embedding videos or for the security of the website.

If we do not have a legitimate interest in using these services, we will obtain your consent as a visitor to our website, which can be revoked at any time, before using them (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
Analytics
We process personal data of website visitors to analyze user behavior. By analyzing the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website.

The analysis tools used can be used, for example, to create user profiles for the display of targeted or interest-based advertising messages, recognize our website visitors the next time they visit our website, measure their click/scroll behaviour and downloads, create heat maps, recognize page views, measure the duration of visits or bounce rates, and trace the origin of website visitors (city, country, which page the visitor comes from). With the help of the analysis tools, our market research and marketing activities can be improved.
Processing will only take place if you consent to this data processing (via our consent banner on the website). The legal basis for this processing is consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
