Privacy Policy

In the following, we would like to inform you about the data processing on our website, in particular about which categories of data we process for which purposes when you visit our website.

Please note, however, that we may amend our privacy policy from time to time, for example due to the implementation of new technologies or due to changes in the law.

1. General

1.1 Responsible

The data protection controller pursuant to Art. 4 No. 7, Art. 26 EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") is the

If you have any questions or comments about this Privacy Policy, data protection or data processing on this website in general, please contact us by e-mail at datenschutz@base64-image.de or by mail at the above-mentioned address.

1.2 Your rights

In the following, we would like to inform you about your rights, which you can assert free of charge against the data controller in accordance with the statutory provisions:

If you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR or any other data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority of your choice pursuant to Art. 77 (1) of the GDPR.

In order to assert your rights and claims, please contact us at the above-mentioned contact details of the Controller.

Please note that complete data security cannot be guaranteed by us when communicating by e-mail, so we recommend that you send confidential information to us by post.

1.3 Legal basis

In principle, your data only will be processed if there is a legal basis for doing so. In the following, we will go into more detail about the individual legal bases for the respective data processing, but in general the following applies:

1.4 Retention period

Your data will be deleted, or its processing restricted in accordance with the statutory provision, in particular in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 GDPR. Your data will therefore generally be deleted, if it is no longer required for the intended purpose, unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy. Data processing beyond these purposes will only take place if this is necessary for other and legally permissible purposes or if we have to retain your data due to legal retention periods. In these cases, processing will be restricted, i.e. blocked, and your data will not be further processed for other purposes.

Legal storage obligations result, for example, from:

1.5 Recipients, Third Country Transfers, Linked Third Party Sites

In the following, you will find information about the third parties and processors to whom we transfer personal data. If we use various third-party services on our website, we will go into more detail later. However, in principle these services are used to make the website functional, secure, and visually appealing as well as to optimize its content. In general, we transfer personal data to the following categories of third parties:

Telecommunications service providers, service providers for hosting and other services in connection with our website, public authorities, insofar as a legitimate request has been made, credit institutions and payment service providers for the processing of payments, billing service providers, printing and postal service providers, insurance companies, insurance brokers and experts for the examination and settlement of claims, external accountants, auditors, legal advisors, and auditors.

If we transfer your personal data to a third country or an international organization, you will be informed separately about the transfer and the underlying legal basis. The data transfer will be legally secured with standard contractual clauses according to Art. 46 GDPR or other appropriate transfer safeguards according to Art. 44 et seq. GDPR.

Insofar as we use data processors for data processing, they are of course bound by our instructions and are carefully selected, commissioned, and regularly monitored by us. The assignments are based on data processing agreements in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. The processors do not process data for their own purposes.

In particular, processors include:

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. Please note that we are not responsible for the processing of your personal data on these websites within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR, but the respective website operator. Therefore, please inform yourself in the privacy policies of the respective websites before disclosing personal data.

1.6 Data security

For reasons of data security, we use technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against loss, manipulation, destruction, or other attacks by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are continuously adapted to the current state of the art. On our website, we use the technology of transport encryption (TLS) in the transmission of your personal data, which you can recognize by the "https".

2. Collection and processing of your personal data when using our website

Technical provision of the website, hosting

When accessing content on our website, data is temporarily stored via so-called log files, which may allow identification. The following data is collected:

The temporary storage is necessary for the retrieval and the course of a website visit to enable the delivery of the website. Furthermore, the log data is stored to ensure the functionality of the website and the security of the information technology systems. Your IP address will be shortened as quickly as possible so that identification is no longer possible.

The legal basis for the temporary storage is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. The legal basis for the further storage of the shortened IP address is our legitimate interest in protecting our information technology systems (in particular in the event of abusive attacks) in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. No personal evaluation of your data, in particular for marketing purposes, will take place without prior consent.

As soon as your data is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected, your data is deleted. In the case of the provision of the website, this is given when the respective session has ended. In general the log data is only kept accessible for administrators.

For the technical provision and operation of our website, we use the hosting provider Hetzner Online GmbH , Industriestrasse 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany. For this purpose, Hetzner processes meta and communication data on our behalf and based on our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure provision of our website according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. For this purpose, we have concluded an order processing agreement with Hetzner pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

2.2 Google Fonts

On our website we use the fonts Google Fonts of the company Google (service provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Parent company: Google LLC 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google Fonts is an interactive directory of more than 800 fonts provided by Google LLC free to use.

As an important component, Google Fonts serves to keep the quality of our website high. By using Google Fonts, we can use fonts without having to upload them to our own server. The Google fonts are automatically optimized for the web, which saves data volume and thus ensures faster loading times.

Google Fonts is supported by all major browsers and works reliably on most modern mobile operating systems.

The legal basis for the use of Google Fonts is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Legitimate interest is understood to be both legal and economic or ideal interests recognized by the legal system. Our legitimate interest in this case is to present our website in an aesthetically pleasing, consistent and secure manner as possible.

When using Google Fonts, no cookies are stored in your browser. The font files are requested through the Google domains fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com, which Google says are separated from all other Google services, including your Google account if you have one.

Google records the use of so-called CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and the fonts used and stores this data securely. Google stores requests for CSS assets for one day on your servers, which are mainly located outside the EU. Insofar as Google Ireland Limited transfers personal data to the US parent company Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, Google guarantees by means of standard contractual clauses to maintain the EU level of data protection. Google thus pursues the goal of fundamentally improving the loading time of websites by having the fonts already in the cache when millions of websites refer to the same fonts.

In addition, each Google Fonts request also automatically transmits information such as IP address, language settings, screen resolution, browser name and version to Google servers to ensure correct graphical display.

2.3 Contact

You can contact us by email to request a quote or conduct other correspondence.

In the context of email correspondence, we process your name, email address and the content of your inquiry (e.g. name of your company, position) as well as mandatory information that is absolutely necessary for the preparation of an offer. In the context of contacting by email, we process your personal data based on our legitimate interest in providing good customer service in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR or in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR if the contact is in connection with contractual performance obligations.

Your contact requests are deleted immediately after processing unless legal retention periods require further storage. After we have answered your inquiry, we archive it immediately so that it can only be viewed to a very limited extent. Purely informative inquiries, i.e., inquiries that do not lead to a contract or contain other content that must be retained, are deleted at the end of the year in which the inquiry was made. See "Retention period" for more information.
