What do we use your data for?
Some of the data is collected to ensure that the website is provided without errors. Other data can be used to analyze your user behavior.
What rights do you have with regard to your data?
You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given your consent to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. You also have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Further information on this can be found below under "Data subject rights".
You can contact us at any time if you have further questions on the subject of data protection.

General notes and mandatory information
Data protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
Personal data
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, e-mail address, IP address or user behavior. Information for which we cannot (or can only with disproportionate effort) establish a connection to your person, e.g. by anonymizing the information, is not personal data. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Processing of personal data
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
Storage duration
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.
Legal basis for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, insofar as special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is also carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required to fulfill the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Information on the relevant legal bases in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Data transfer to the USA and other third countries
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Hyperlinks
Our website contains so-called hyperlinks to websites of other providers. If you activate these hyperlinks, you will be forwarded directly from our website to the website of the other provider. These may also be the company websites of Compris partners GmbH . You can recognize this by the change of URL, among other things. We cannot accept any responsibility for the confidential handling of your data on other websites. Please refer directly to the respective websites for information on how your personal data is handled on other websites.
Rights of data subjects
Contact for the assertion of data subject rights
To assert your rights as a data subject, you can contact us by e-mail at info@compris-sales.de - or by post at COMPRiS GmbH, Hoferstraße 9 B, 71636 Ludwigsburg.
Information, rectification and erasure (Art. 15 to 17 GDPR)
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data at any time. You can contact us at any time if you have further questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to check this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
Right to data portability
(Art. 20 GDPR)
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
(Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR)
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
(Art. 77 GDPR)
In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct advertising
(Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e) or d) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
If your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
Objection to advertising e-mails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of our obligation to provide a legal notice for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.
Data collection on this website
Provision and use of the website
When you access and use our website, we collect the personal data that your browser automatically transmits to our server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. When you use our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security:
- IP address of the requesting computer
- Date and time of access
- Name and URL of the retrieved file
- Website from which the access is made (referrer URL)
- the browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer, as well as the name of your access provider
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the aforementioned data processing. The processing of the aforementioned data is necessary for the provision of a website and thus serves to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company.
All personal data that we have collected during your visit through the use of session cookies is automatically deleted as soon as the purpose for which it was collected has been fulfilled. The session data is therefore stored until you end your session (by leaving or closing the website)
External hosting
We host the content of our website with the following provider: IONOS SE
The provider is IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur (hereinafter referred to as IONOS). When you visit our website, IONOS collects various log files including your IP addresses. Details can be found in the IONOS privacy policy:
https://www.ionos.de/terms-gtc/terms-privacy.
The use of IONOS is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a
legitimate interest in the most reliable presentation of our website. Insofar as a
corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
Contact form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, we will ask you for your name, company and e-mail address. You can also enter the subject and your individual message. This is mandatory information. You can also voluntarily enter your telephone number. This information is stored by us for the purpose of processing the request and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
Other contact
Our contact details (telephone, fax and e-mail) are also available on our website. You can send us a message via the e-mail address provided. In this case, we process your first and last name and your e-mail address and the personal data transmitted with the e-mail. You can also send us an individual message using the message field. You can also call us or contact us by fax, in which case we will process the data you provide. You are free to decide whether to provide us with this data. Without this information, however, we may not be able to fulfill your contact request in full or at all.
No data will be passed on to third parties in this context. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.
The legal basis for the processing of the data transmitted in the course of contacting us is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you contact us, the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data lies in the processing of your request.
If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified. Further storage may take place in individual cases if this is required by law.
Newsletter
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we will ask you for your e-mail address and first and last name. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for sending our newsletter, which requires registration, i.e. we will only send you a newsletter if you have previously expressly consented to us activating the newsletter service. You must also confirm that the e-mail address you have provided belongs to you. For this purpose, we will send you a notification e-mail and ask you to confirm that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided by clicking on a link contained in this e-mail.
The data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list beforehand at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
Mailchimp
We use Mailchimp from The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308 USA (Mailchimp) to send our newsletter. This enables us to contact subscribers directly. In addition, we analyze your usage behavior in order to optimize our offer.

Plugins and tools
YouTube
We embed videos from the YouTube platform on our website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (Google).
A connection to YouTube/Google servers can be established as soon as you access a page with an embedded video. Among other things, your IP address, technical browser/device information, the page accessed (referrer URL) and possibly other usage data are transmitted. YouTube may also use cookies or similar technologies (e.g. local storage, device fingerprinting).
We use YouTube in extended data protection mode ("youtube-nocookie.com"), if available. Nevertheless, data may be transferred to Google servers outside the EU (in particular the USA). The EU standard contractual clauses (SCC) are in place with Google.

Vimeo
This website uses plugins from the video portal Vimeo. The provider is Vimeo Inc, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.
When you visit one of our pages featuring a Vimeo video, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established. This tells the Vimeo server which of our pages you have visited. Vimeo also obtains your IP address. This also applies if you are not logged in to Vimeo or do not have a Vimeo account. The information collected by Vimeo is transmitted to the Vimeo server in the USA.
If you are logged into your Vimeo account, you enable Vimeo to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account.
Vimeo uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting) to recognize website visitors.
When using the service, personal data may be transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA, in particular to the USA. In order to be able to guarantee adequate protection of your personal data in the event of the transfer of personal data to such so-called third countries, we have concluded so-called EU-US standard contractual clauses with the provider. The USA is considered by the European Court of Justice to be a country with an inadequate level of data protection according to EU standards. Due to the lack of an adequacy decision and without suitable guarantees, there is a particular risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without the possibility of legal recourse. In addition, where possible, we are in contact with the providers to ensure the protection of your personal data with any necessary additional measures.
The legal basis for the use of Vimeo for the associated storage of information on your end device and its subsequent reading is your expressly granted consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) sentence 1 TTDSG. You can revoke this consent for the future at any time by deactivating cookies in your browser settings or in our Cookie Consent Manager.

The cookies set are valid for 30 days. We only process and store the cookies you set for as long as is necessary for processing or to comply with legal obligations. Your data will be deleted once the purpose of processing no longer applies. This is the case if there is no other statutory retention obligation.

Spotify uses cookies or similar technologies for this purpose. It is possible that content may also be transmitted to third countries via content delivery networks as part of the provision of content.
Legal basis for the storage/reading of information on your terminal device is your consent (§ 25 para. 1 TTDSG). The subsequent processing of personal data takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time via the cookie settings revoked.

Google reCAPTCHA
We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA") on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether data is entered on this website (e.g. in a contact form) by a human or by an automated program.

For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent on the website by the website visitor or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.
When using the service, personal data may be transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA, in particular to the USA. In order to be able to guarantee adequate protection of your personal data in the event of the transfer of personal data to such so-called third countries, we have concluded so-called EU-US standard contractual clauses with the provider. The USA is considered by the European Court of Justice to be a country with an inadequate level of data protection according to EU standards. Due to the lack of an adequacy decision and without suitable guarantees, there is a particular risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without the possibility of legal recourse.

Analysis tools and advertising
Google Analytics
We create pseudonymous user profiles with the help of Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountainview, CA 94043 USA ("Google"), in order to design our website in line with requirements. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies that are stored on your end device and can be read by us. In this way, we are able, among other things, to recognize returning visitors and count them as such.
If you allow the use, the following data will be processed:
- Date and time of access,
- the pages you have accessed, your click path,
- Achievement of website goals,
- User behavior, e.g. clicks, dwell time, bounce rates,
- approximate geographical location (region),
- anonymized IP address,
- technical information about your browser and the browser you are using
end devices, e.g. language setting, screen resolution,
- Internet providers and
- Referrer URL.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. When using Google Analytics, it cannot be ruled out that the cookies set by Google Analytics may also collect other personal data in addition to the IP address.
In order to ensure the best possible protection of your personal data, Google Analytics has been extended on this website by the code "anonymizeIp". This code causes the last 8 bits of the IP addresses to be deleted and your IP address to be recorded anonymously (so-called IP masking). Your IP address will be shortened by Google before transmission within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and thus anonymized. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. We have concluded an order processing contract with Google (USA) in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information strictly for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
In order to be able to guarantee adequate protection of your personal data in the event that personal data is transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA, in particular to the USA, we have concluded so-called EU-US standard contractual clauses with Google. The USA is considered by the European Court of Justice to be a country with an inadequate level of data protection according to EU standards. Due to the lack of an adequacy decision and without suitable guarantees, there is a particular risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without the possibility of legal recourse. Furthermore, we are in constant communication with Google to ensure the protection of your personal data with any additional measures that may be necessary.
The legal basis for the use of this service for the associated storage of information on your end device and its subsequent reading is your expressly granted consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) sentence 1 TTDSG. You can revoke this consent for the future at any time by deactivating cookies in your browser settings or in our Cookie Consent Manager. The subsequent processing of your personal data is based on your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent for the future at any time by deactivating cookies in your browser settings or in our Cookie Consent Manager.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly or by using the Cookie Consent Manager in the "COOKIE SETTINGS"; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.
The cookies set have a maximum validity of 26 months. The personal data collected with the help of the cookie is deleted when it is no longer required for the active campaign and there is no other legal obligation to retain it.
You can find more information on how Google uses data when websites and apps of its partners are used at www.google.de/policies/privacy/partners.
You can also prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking on the following link (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de) to revoke your consent, or revoke your consent in the cookie options. An analysis with Google Analytics will then no longer take place.
Google Tag Manager
We use the service called Google Tag Manager from Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountainview, CA 94043 USA ("Google").
Google Tag Manager is a web service for managing website tags. The Google Tag Manager tool itself does not require the use of cookies and does not collect any personal data. Google Tag Manager is an auxiliary service that ensures the loading of other components, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.
We have concluded an order processing contract with Google. When using the service, personal data that is inevitably exchanged with Google on the basis of the Internet Protocol (TCP) when this service is integrated may be transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA, in particular to the USA. In order to be able to guarantee adequate protection of your personal data in the event of the transfer of personal data to such so-called third countries, we have concluded so-called EU-US standard contractual clauses with the provider. The USA is considered by the European Court of Justice to be a country with an inadequate level of data protection according to EU standards. Due to the lack of an adequacy decision and without suitable guarantees, there is a particular risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without the possibility of legal recourse. In addition, where possible, we are in contact with the providers to ensure the protection of your personal data with any necessary additional measures.
The legal basis for the use of this service for the associated storage of information on your end device and its subsequent reading is your expressly granted consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) sentence 1 TTDSG.
