The types of data collected by this application, either directly or through third parties, include: usage data, email, first name, last name, postal code, city, and date of birth. The collection of additional personal data may be described in other parts of this Privacy Policy or in specific explanatory text related to data collection. All data processing activities are carried out in strict compliance with legal data protection regulations. Some data is collected to ensure the proper functioning of the website, while other data may be used to analyze your user behavior. Generally, we only process personal data as far as it is necessary to provide a functioning website as well as our content and services. Our website can be used without disclosing personal data. Personal data is only collected if you voluntarily provide it.

COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA
Here, we inform you about the collection of personal data when using our website. Personal data includes all data that can be directly or indirectly attributed to you personally, such as name, address, email addresses, and user behavior. We process data in accordance with GDPR Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) b) c) f). This means that we only process personal data if consent is given (lit. a), to the extent necessary for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures (lit. b), if we are legally obliged to do so (lit. c), or if we have a legitimate interest in the processing (lit. f). The corresponding legal basis is named in each individual case. When you contact us by email or through a contact form, or when booking a free initial consultation, the data you provide (your email address, name, and possibly your phone number) is stored by us to answer your questions and contact you. Data transmitted via the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or no longer need to store the data. Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected. Depending on the nature of the request, we collect this data with your explicit consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR, for the execution and fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, or with a legitimate interest according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in answering inquiries and informing about our products and services.

When using the website solely for informational purposes, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, only the data that your browser transmits to the server we use is collected. If you want to view our website, the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website and ensure its stability and security, is collected. The forwarding is automated by your browser and is inherent in the use of the Internet. (Legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR):

You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data by us.

DATA RETENTION
We store personal data as long as it is necessary to fulfill our contractual and pre-contractual obligations. This does not affect your right to deletion or restriction of processing. Furthermore, this does not affect our right to continue storing the data for legal reasons (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR) or if there is a legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). This includes, in particular, checking and enforcing claims for damages and other claims. Log files required for the stability and security of the system are automatically deleted.

Your telephone number may be stored for contact purposes on a password-protected mobile phone with your first name and initials.

DELETION OF DATA
We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data minimization. We only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes mentioned here or as required by the various storage periods provided for by law. After the respective purpose has ceased to exist or after these periods have expired, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal regulations.

This website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and functionality of which are explained below:

Transient cookies

Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. This includes session cookies in particular.

THIRD-PARTY CONTENT
Our website and related services integrate content from other providers. This can include pure content elements (e.g., news, updates), but also widgets (functions such as booking systems) or fonts and technical libraries. For technical reasons, this is done by loading this content from other servers by the browser. In this context, the currently used IP and the browser used by the requesting system are transmitted. Please refer to the respective privacy policies of the third-party providers in this regard.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS

Our website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider of the web analytics service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses “cookies.” These are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device and that enable an analysis of website use. Information generated by cookies about your use of our website is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there. The server location is typically in the USA. The setting of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize our web offering and, if applicable, advertising.

SCHEDULING

If you use this tool, e.g., by scheduling an appointment, the company Calendly, BB&T Tower, 271 17th St NW #1000, Atlanta, GA 30363, USA, collects personal or personally identifiable data.

Calendly processes data, among other things, also in the USA. We would like to point out that in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of data protection for data transfers to the USA. Calendly uses standard contract clauses approved by the European Commission (= Art. 46 para. 2 and 3 GDPR) as the basis for data processing with recipients based in third countries or for data transfers to them. These clauses require Calendly to comply with the level of data protection in the EU when processing relevant data outside the EU. These clauses are based on a decision of the European Commission. Calendly undertakes to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), available at: https://help.calendly.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007032633-GDPR-FAQs.

We record your registration process so that we can always demonstrate that it complies with our laws. You can revoke your consent at any time. For the revocation, a informal message by email is sufficient or you can unsubscribe from the newsletter using the “unsubscribe” link. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation. Data entered to set up the subscription will be deleted in the event of unsubscribing. If this data has been transmitted to us for other purposes and at another location, it will remain with us.
