In general, you can visit our website without revealing personal data If we collect personal data such as your name, your address or your e-mail address on certain pages, this always happens on a voluntary basis and will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.

Please note that despite our high security standards, data transmission on the Internet can have security gaps. Absolute protection of data from access by third parties is therefore not possible.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies.

Cookies are small text files used by websites to make the user experience more efficient. Think of cookies like tiny post-it notes that your web browser stores on your computer, to remember certain information.

Our website uses two types of cookies. The first type are so-called "session cookies". These are comparable to small memory aids, which exist only for the duration of your visit to our website. They enable our website to remember various information as you navigate from page to page. As soon as you leave our web presence or close your browser, these cookies are automatically deleted.

The second type are cookies that remain on your device until you manually delete them. These cookies allow our website to recognize you on a return visit and consider any previously set preferences, such as language settings.

It's important to emphasize that cookies are completely harmless for your computer. They contain no viruses and cause no damage on your computer. Moreover, we don't use cookies to track your behavior on our website or to collect personal information about you. Our cookies merely serve to improve your user experience and ensure the functionality of our website. If you still have concerns, you can determine how your browser should handle cookies in its settings.

Server Log Files

Our web server automatically collects and stores certain information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us.

Each time you visit a website, your web browser automatically sends certain information to the server of that website. This information is stored in server log files. This includes the browser type and version, the operating system you are using, the so-called referrer URL, the hostname of the accessing computer (here your IP address is stored, but anonymized) and the time of the server request.

To protect your privacy, we store your IP address in an anonymized form. This means that the last part of your IP address is set to "0", making it impossible for us to assign this specific IP address to a particular internet connection.

The referrer URL is the web address of the page from which you arrived at our website. It could, for example, be a search engine where you searched for information, or a link you clicked on another website.

This data is not merged with other data sources and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person. However, if we become aware of concrete indications of unlawful use, we reserve the right to check this data retrospectively. For data protection reasons, the log files are automatically deleted after 90 days.

Beta Testing & Invitations

Our "Test Now" feature allows you to sign up for the beta test of our app. In this context, we collect the data you provide, such as your email address, to send you a personal invitation to test the app. This invitation contains an individual link through which you can register in the app. The processing and storage of this data are carried out exclusively on our own servers in Germany, which are operated according to the latest security standards.

The collected data will not be shared with third parties and will remain within our secure infrastructure. Once you register in the app using the provided link, the app's privacy policy and terms of service will apply to the data you enter there.

The data you provide as part of the "Test Now" feature will be stored only for the duration of the beta test or until you delete your account in the app. We process your data solely for the purpose for which you have submitted it, and it is not merged with any other data we may have collected from you.

After the beta test concludes or your account in the app is deleted, your data will be fully removed from our systems in accordance with GDPR requirements. If you have any questions or concerns about data processing during the beta test, we are available to assist you at any time. Our goal is to provide you with a transparent and secure user experience where your data is in safe hands.

We would like to clarify that no tracking takes place on our website. In other words, we do not track your activities on our website. The only data we use for statistical purposes come from the server log files, which are completely anonymous.

No user profiles or similar are created. We use these data merely to improve our website and ensure that we provide our users with the best possible service.

No Tracking

Data Transmission and Security

Our servers are located exclusively in Germany and any data transmission takes place within this territory. All data transmissions are SSL-encrypted and we store your data according to the latest security standards.

Our infrastructure is monitored around the clock by us and protected by a multi-layered security system at the server and data center level. Daily backups are created and stored encrypted in our local data center in Germany.

Your data security is of the utmost importance to us and we do everything possible to keep your data safe. As evidence of this, we use the same basis for all our websites and platforms and thus also have our own interest in secure data.

Cloudflare

For further improvement of our website security and performance, we use services from Cloudflare. Cloudflare is a web optimization and security service, which among other things, serves to prevent attacks on our website and to improve loading times.

In this process, it can happen that your connection data are processed by Cloudflare. However, Cloudflare does not store any personal data and has no access to these, but instead, passes these on neutrally.

We use Cloudflare merely as a firewall, for intelligent defense against attacks and as a so-called CDN, so that the data of our website (e.g., images, fonts, styles) load as quickly as possible for you.
