  1. To whom is personal data transmitted?

As a matter of principle, we do not pass on personal data to third parties without your consent. If, in the course of processing, we nevertheless disclose your data to third parties, transfer it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will also be done exclusively on the basis of one of the legal bases mentioned. We transmit data to the following categories of third parties, for example:

Payment service provider

Your payment data will be given to Stripe within the framework of the payment processing, if this is necessary for the payment processing. The legal basis for the transfer of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

The payment processing is carried out by the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd, 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland, to whom we pass on your information provided during the ordering process together with the information about your order (name, address, account number, bank code, possibly credit card number, invoice amount, currency and transaction number) in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will only be passed on for the purpose of payment processing with the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd. and only to the extent necessary for this purpose. Further information about the data protection of Stripe can be found under the URL https://stripe.com/de/privacy#translation.

Infrastructure service provider

We host our platform at Amazon Web Services, Inc. 410 Terry Avenue North, Seattle WA 98109, USA ("AWS"). For technical reasons, the infrastructure may be maintained from the USA. AWS has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield.

AWS processes personal data strictly in accordance with instructions on the basis of a contract processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

Sufficient guarantees for data transfer to the USA: standard contractual clause (Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR.

Other users of the platform

When you use the platform, personal data is made available to other users. For example, other users can view your user profile or receive information about you in projects. In this respect, the provision of data is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR or Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Processor

Within the framework of the above-mentioned data processing, we may use selected external service providers (e.g. support, hosting or analysis service providers). These service providers have committed themselves within the framework of a contract for order processing (Art. 28 GDPR), among other things, to adhere to appropriate technical and organisational measures for data security and act on our behalf in accordance with our instructions

  1. Are personal data transferred to a third country?

We process your data in the European Union or the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases do we transfer data to countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area ("third country"). We only transfer personal data to a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are fulfilled. This means that your data may then only be processed on the basis of special guarantees. Such sufficient guarantees may exist, for example, in countries in which an adequate level of data protection has been recognised by the European Commission in a decision. Furthermore, sufficient guarantees can be ensured by concluding so-called "standard contractual clauses". These are contractual clauses recognised by the European Commission for data transfer to third countries.

  1. Retention Periods

We only store your personal data until the purpose for which we collected or received it has been fulfilled, unless we are legally obliged to keep the data for a longer period of time.

The log files are stored for a period of seven days and then deleted, unless, exceptionally, they need to be kept longer to follow up an identified attack.

If you have provided us with your data in the course of ordering goods or services, we usually delete or block this data after the processing or termination of the respective contract. In individual cases, however, we may be obliged to store data for a longer period of time due to storage periods under tax or commercial law. We also retain certain data for the duration of the statutory limitation period in order to be able to defend ourselves in the event of a legal dispute.

If you have provided us with your data via the contact form, we will delete this data as soon as it is no longer necessary for us or we will restrict processing if there are legal obligations to retain it.

If you have subscribed to the e-mail newsletter, we will only process your data until you have cancelled the newsletter. For the duration of the statutory limitation periods, however, we store data on the granting of your consent and on the granting of the revocation in order to preserve evidence.

  1. Does automated decision making (including profiling) take place?

No, you will not be subject to any decision which has legal effect vis-à-vis you or which significantly affects you in a similar way, based solely on automated data processing (Art. 22 GDPR).

  1. Data security

To protect your personal data against manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons, ongoing technical and organizational security measures are taken.
