Relevant legal bases


Below you will find an overview of the GDPR legal bases on which we process personal data. Please note that in addition to the GDPR regulations, national data protection regulations may apply in your or our country of residence or domicile. Should more specific legal bases apply in individual cases, we will inform you of these in the privacy policy.

  • Consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR) - The data subject has given his or her consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for a specific purpose or several specific purposes.
  • Contractual performance and pre-contractual inquiries (Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR) - Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject.
  • Legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR) - Processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data prevail.

In addition to the data protection provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation, national data protection regulations apply in Germany. These include, in particular, the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). The BDSG contains, in particular, special provisions on the right to information, the right to erasure, the right of objection, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes, and transmission and automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling. Furthermore, it regulates data processing for the purposes of the employment relationship (Section 26 BDSG), particularly with regard to the establishment, implementation, or termination of employment relationships and the consent of employees. Furthermore, state data protection laws of the individual federal states may apply.


Data processing in third countries


If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if the processing takes place in the context of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transmission of data to other persons, bodies or companies, this will only be done in accordance with the legal requirements.

Subject to express consent or contractually or legally required transmission, we process or have the data processed only in third countries with a recognized level of data protection, contractual obligation through so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission, in the presence of certifications or binding internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR, information page of the EU Commission: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_de).


Deletion of data


The data we process will be deleted in accordance with legal requirements as soon as the consent to processing is revoked or other permissions no longer apply (e.g. if the purpose of processing this data no longer applies or it is no longer required for that purpose). If the data is not deleted because it is required for other legally permissible purposes, its processing will be limited to these purposes. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons or whose storage is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person.

Our privacy policy may also contain further information on the storage and deletion of data, which applies primarily to the respective processing operations.


Provision of the online offer and web hosting


We process user data to provide them with our online services. For this purpose, we process the user's IP address, which is necessary to transmit the content and functions of our online services to the user's browser or device.

  • Types of data processed: Usage data (e.g., websites visited, interest in content, access times); meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses).
  • Data subjects: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
  • Purposes of processing: Provision of our online services and user-friendliness; information technology infrastructure (operation and provision of information systems and technical equipment (computers, servers, etc.)); security measures; provision of contractual services and customer service.
  • Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Server log files may be used for security purposes, e.g., to prevent server overload (particularly in the case of abusive attacks, so-called DDoS attacks) and, on the other hand, to ensure server utilization and stability. Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR); Deletion of data: Log file information is stored for a maximum of 30 days and then deleted or anonymized.

In particular, we ask users to note that they must protect their access data with particular care and use secure passwords (i.e., especially long and random character combinations). Legal basis: Contractual fulfillment and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR).


Blogs and publication media


We use blogs or similar means of online communication and publication (hereinafter "publication medium"). Readers' data is processed for the purposes of the publication medium only to the extent necessary for its presentation and communication between authors and readers, or for security reasons. Furthermore, we refer to the information on the processing of visitors to our publication medium within the framework of this privacy policy.

This is done for our security in case someone leaves illegal content in comments and contributions (insults, prohibited political propaganda, etc.). In this case, we ourselves can be held liable for the comment or contribution and are therefore interested in the identity of the author. Furthermore, we reserve the right to process user information for the purpose of spam detection based on our legitimate interests. On the same legal basis, we reserve the right to store users' IP addresses for the duration of surveys and to use cookies to prevent multiple voting. The personal information provided in the comments and contributions, any contact and website information, as well as the content information, will be stored by us permanently until the user objects; legal basis: legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).


Contact and inquiry management


When you contact us (e.g. via contact form, email, telephone or via social media) as well as within the framework of existing user and business relationships, the information provided by the person making the inquiry will be processed to the extent necessary to answer the contact inquiries and any requested measures.

The answering of contact inquiries and the management of contact and inquiry data within the framework of contractual or pre-contractual relationships is carried out to fulfill our contractual obligations or to answer (pre-)contractual inquiries and otherwise on the basis of the legitimate interests in answering inquiries and maintaining user or business relationships.

  • Types of data processed: Contact data (e.g., email, telephone numbers); content data (e.g., entries in online forms); usage data (e.g., websites visited, interest in content, access times); meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses).
  • Data subjects: communication partners.

Newsletters and electronic notifications


We send newsletters, emails, and other electronic notifications (hereinafter "newsletters") only with the recipient's consent or legal permission. If the newsletter's content is specifically described when registering for the newsletter, it is decisive for the user's consent. Furthermore, our newsletters contain information about our services and us.

To subscribe to our newsletter, it is generally sufficient to provide your email address. However, we may ask you to provide a name for the purpose of addressing you personally in the newsletter, or other information if this is necessary for the purposes of the newsletter.

Double opt-in process: Registration for our newsletter is generally carried out using a so-called double opt-in process. This means that after registration, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary to ensure that no one can register using someone else's email address. Newsletter registrations are logged to provide evidence of the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the time of registration and confirmation, as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored by the shipping service provider are also logged.

Deletion and restriction of processing: We may store unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years based on our legitimate interests before deleting them in order to be able to prove previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defense against claims. An individual request for deletion is possible at any time, provided that the previous consent is confirmed at the same time. In the case of obligations to permanently observe objections, we reserve the right to store the email address on a block list (so-called "block list") for this purpose alone.

The registration process is logged based on our legitimate interests for the purpose of demonstrating its proper execution. If we commission a service provider to send emails, this is done based on our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure delivery system.

Contents:Information about us

  • Types of data processed: Inventory data (e.g. names, addresses); contact data (e.g. email, telephone numbers); meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses); usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times).
  • Data subjects: communication partners.
  • Purposes of processing: direct marketing (e.g. by email or post).
  • Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR).
  • Opt-out: You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time, i.e., revoke your consent or object to further receipt. You will find a link to unsubscribe from the newsletter either at the end of each newsletter or by using one of the contact options listed above, preferably email.

Further information on processing procedures, methods and services:

  • Measuring opening and click rates: The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon," i.e., a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened or, if we use a shipping service provider, from their server. During this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval, is initially collected. This information is used to technically improve our newsletter based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or the access times. This analysis also includes determining whether the newsletters are opened and when they are opened. Newsletter2Go Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).


Presences in social networks (social media)


We maintain online presences within social networks and, in this context, process user data in order to communicate with the users active there or to offer information about us.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This could pose risks for users, for example, because it could make it more difficult to enforce their rights.

Furthermore, user data within social networks is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created based on user behavior and the resulting interests of the users. These user profiles can then be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the networks that presumably correspond to the users' interests. For these purposes, cookies are generally stored on users' computers in which the user behavior and interests are saved. Furthermore, user profiles can also store data independent of the devices used by the users (particularly if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).

For a detailed description of the respective processing methods and the options for opting out, please refer to the privacy policies and information provided by the operators of the respective networks.

In the case of requests for information and the assertion of data subject rights, we would like to point out that these can be most effectively asserted with the providers. Only the providers have access to the user data and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. If you still need assistance, please contact us.

  • Types of data processed: Contact data (e.g., email, telephone numbers); content data (e.g., entries in online forms); usage data (e.g., websites visited, interest in content, access times); meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses).
  • Data subjects: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
  • Purposes of processing: contact requests and communication; feedback (e.g. collecting feedback via online form); marketing.
  • Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

    • Changes and updates to the privacy policy


    We ask you to inform yourself regularly about the content of our privacy policy. We will adapt the privacy policy as soon as changes to the data processing we carry out make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require your cooperation (e.g., consent) or other individual notification.

    If we provide addresses and contact information of companies and organizations in this privacy policy, please note that the addresses may change over time and ask you to check the information before contacting us.
