Introduction and Overview

We have drafted this privacy policy (Version 04.08.2026-113231247) to explain to you, in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and applicable national laws, which personal data (hereinafter “data”) we as the controller – and the processors commissioned by us (e.g. providers) – process, will process in the future, and what lawful options you have. The terms used are to be understood in a gender-neutral manner.
In short: We provide you with comprehensive information about the data we process concerning you.

Privacy policies usually sound very technical and use legal terms. This privacy policy, however, is intended to describe the most important matters to you as simply and transparently as possible. Where it promotes transparency, technical terms are explained in a reader-friendly manner, links to further information are provided, and graphics are used. We thereby inform you in clear and simple language that we only process personal data in the course of our business activities when a corresponding legal basis exists. This is certainly not possible if one gives explanations that are as brief, unclear, and legally technical as they are often standard on the internet when it comes to data protection. I hope you find the following explanations interesting and informative, and perhaps there is some information you did not know before.
If questions nevertheless remain, we ask you to contact the controller named below or in the legal notice, to follow the existing links, and to view further information on third-party websites. You will of course also find our contact details in the legal notice.

Scope

This privacy policy applies to all personal data processed by us in the company and to all personal data processed by companies commissioned by us (processors). By personal data we mean information within the meaning of Article 4(1) GDPR, such as, for example, a person’s name, email address, and postal address. The processing of personal data ensures that we can offer and bill for our services and products, whether online or offline. The scope of this privacy policy covers:

  • all online presences (websites, online shops) that we operate
  • social media presences and email communication
  • mobile apps for smartphones and other devices

In short: The privacy policy applies to all areas in which personal data is processed in a structured manner within the company via the channels mentioned. Should we enter into legal relationships with you outside these channels, we will inform you separately where applicable.

Legal Bases

In the following privacy policy we provide you with transparent information on the legal principles and provisions, i.e. the legal bases of the General Data Protection Regulation, that enable us to process personal data.
As regards EU law, we refer to REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27 April 2016. You can of course read this EU General Data Protection Regulation online on EUR-Lex, the access point to EU law, at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/ALL/?uri=celex%3A32016R0679.

We only process your data if at least one of the following conditions is met:

  1. Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR): You have given us your consent to process data for a specific purpose. An example would be the processing of an email enquiry voluntarily submitted by you.
  2. Contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR): In order to fulfil a contract or pre-contractual obligations with you, we process your data. If, for example, we conclude a purchase contract with you, we need personal information in advance.
  3. Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR): If we are subject to a legal obligation, we process your data. For example, we are legally obliged to retain invoices for accounting purposes. These usually contain personal data.
  4. Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR): In the case of legitimate interests that do not restrict your fundamental rights, we reserve the right to process personal data. We must, for example, process certain data in order to operate our website securely and cost-effectively. This processing is therefore a legitimate interest.

Further conditions such as the performance of tasks carried out in the public interest and the exercise of official authority as well as the protection of vital interests generally do not apply in our case. Where such a legal basis should nevertheless be relevant, it will be indicated at the corresponding point.

In addition to the EU Regulation, national laws also apply:

  • In Austria, this is the Federal Act for the Protection of Natural Persons in the Processing of Personal Data (Datenschutzgesetz), abbreviated DSG.
  • In Germany, the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz applies, abbreviated BDSG.

Where further regional or national laws apply, we will inform you about this in the following sections.

Contact Details of the Controller

Should you have questions regarding data protection or the processing of personal data, you will find below the contact details of the controller pursuant to Article 4(7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
Christian Greiner
1220 Wien, Pirquetgasse 14/2/4
Österreich

Email: contact@nimavero.com

Legal notice: /en/legal-notice/

Storage Duration

That we only store personal data for as long as is absolutely necessary for the provision of our services and products is a general criterion for us. This means that we delete personal data as soon as the reason for data processing no longer exists. In some cases we are legally obliged to store certain data even after the original purpose has ceased to exist, for example for accounting purposes.

If you request the erasure of your data or withdraw consent to data processing, the data will be deleted as quickly as possible and insofar as there is no obligation to retain it.

We will inform you further below about the specific duration of the respective data processing where we have further information on this.

Rights under the General Data Protection Regulation

Pursuant to Articles 13, 14 GDPR we inform you of the following rights to which you are entitled so that processing of data is fair and transparent:

  • Pursuant to Article 15 GDPR you have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether we process personal data concerning you. Should this be the case, you have the right to receive a copy of the data and to be informed of the following:
    • for what purpose we carry out the processing;
    • the categories, i.e. the types of data, that are processed;
    • who receives this data, if the data is transferred to third countries, how security can be guaranteed;
    • how long the data is stored;
    • the existence of the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing and the right to object to processing;
    • that you can lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (links to these authorities can be found further below);
    • the origin of the data if we did not collect it from you;
    • whether profiling is carried out, i.e. whether data is automatically evaluated in order to arrive at a personal profile of you.
  • Pursuant to Article 16 GDPR you have a right to rectification of the data, which means that we must correct data if you find errors.
  • Pursuant to Article 17 GDPR you have the right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”), which specifically means that you may request the erasure of your data.
  • Pursuant to Article 18 GDPR you have the right to restriction of processing, which means that we may only store the data but no longer use it.
  • Pursuant to Article 20 GDPR you have the right to data portability, which means that we will provide you with your data in a common format upon request.
  • Pursuant to Article 21 GDPR you have a right to object, which upon exercise entails a change in processing.
    • If the processing of your data is based on Article 6(1)(e) (public interest, exercise of official authority) or Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest), you may object to the processing. We will then examine as quickly as possible whether we can legally comply with this objection.
    • If data is used to carry out direct advertising, you may object to this type of data processing at any time. We may no longer use your data for direct marketing thereafter.
    • If data is used to carry out profiling, you may object to this type of data processing at any time. We may no longer use your data for profiling thereafter.
  • Pursuant to Article 22 GDPR you may under certain circumstances have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (for example profiling).
  • Pursuant to Article 77 GDPR you have the right to lodge a complaint. This means that you can complain to the data protection authority at any time if you are of the opinion that the processing of personal data violates the GDPR.

In short: You have rights – do not hesitate to contact the controller identified above!

If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been infringed, you can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. For Austria this is the Austrian Data Protection Authority, whose website you can find at https://www.dsb.gv.at/. In Germany there is a data protection officer for each federal state. For further information you can contact the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI). The following local data protection authority is responsible for our company:

Austrian Data Protection Authority (Österreichische Datenschutzbehörde)

Head: Dr. Matthias Schmidl

Barichgasse 40-42, 1030 Wien
Telephone:

Security of Data Processing

In order to protect personal data, we have implemented both technical and organisational measures. Where possible for us, we encrypt or pseudonymise personal data. Within the limits of what is technically feasible for us, these measures make it as difficult as possible for third parties to derive personal information from the data.

Article 25 GDPR speaks here of “data protection by design and by default” and means that security must be taken into account in both software (e.g. forms) and hardware (e.g. access to the server room) design, and that corresponding measures are implemented. In the following we will, where necessary, go into specific measures in more detail.

TLS Encryption with https

TLS, encryption and https sound very technical and they are. We use HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure stands for “secure hypertext transfer protocol”) to transmit data in a tap-proof manner on the internet.
This means that the complete transmission of all data from your browser to our web server is secured – nobody can “eavesdrop”.

Thereby we have introduced an additional layer of security and fulfil data protection by design (Article 25(1) GDPR). Through the use of TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission on the internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data.
You can recognise the use of this safeguarding of data transmission by the small padlock symbol at the top left in the browser, to the left of the internet address (e.g. examplepage.com) and the use of the https scheme (instead of http) as part of our internet address.
If you would like to know more about encryption, we recommend a Google search for “Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure wiki” to obtain good links to further information.

Data Subjects

All those who seek contact with us via the communication channels we provide are affected by the processes mentioned.

Email

When you communicate with us by email, data may be stored on the respective end device (computer, laptop, smartphone, …) and data is stored on the email server. The data is deleted as soon as the business case has been concluded and statutory requirements permit this.

Legal Bases

The processing of the data is based on the following legal bases:

  • Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent): You give us consent to store your data and further use it for purposes relating to the business case;
  • Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract): There is a necessity for the fulfilment of a contract with you or a processor such as the telephone provider, or we must process the data for pre-contractual activities, such as preparing an offer;

📅 Storage duration: generally at the latest after seven days in server log files
⚖️ Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests)

This website is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany.

When this website is accessed, technically necessary data is processed by the web server so that the requested content can be delivered and the stability and security of the website can be ensured.

The access data processed may in particular include:

  • IP address of the accessing device
  • date and time of access
  • page accessed or file requested
  • amount of data transferred
  • HTTP status code
  • browser used and browser version
  • operating system of the accessing device

Where access data is stored in server log files, this is generally deleted by ALL-INKL.COM at the latest after seven days. Longer storage may be required in individual cases, in particular if this is necessary to investigate or ward off an attack on the technical systems.

ALL-INKL.COM processes personal data in connection with the provision of web-hosting services as a processor. The basis for this is a data processing agreement pursuant to Article 28 GDPR.

Further information on data processing by ALL-INKL.COM is available in the ALL-INKL.COM’s privacy notice.

Aggregated Visit Statistics

To assess the general use of our website, we operate a simple, self-hosted and data-minimising visit statistics system.

When a page is accessed or selected links are clicked, only a predefined counter for the respective day and the respective page area or action is incremented. Only the calendar date, a fixed designation of the counted area or action, and the respective total number of visits or clicks are stored.

For this statistics system, no IP addresses, user identifiers, cookies, session IDs, device or browser information, referrer data, location data or other information by which individual visitors could be identified or recognised are stored. No individual usage profiles are created and visitors are not tracked within a session or across multiple visits.

The visit statistics system is operated exclusively on our own web hosting infrastructure. The aggregated counter values stored in this process are not transmitted to external analytics or tracking services.

Independently of this aggregated statistics system, server access data required for the technical delivery of the website arises when our website is accessed. Information on this can be found in the section “Web Hosting by ALL-INKL.COM” of this privacy policy.

Links to Social Media Platforms

Links to Social Media Platforms – Summary
👥 Data subjects: Visitors to the website who click a social media link
🤝 Purpose: Linking to our presences on external social media platforms
📓 Data processed: When merely accessing our website, no data is transferred to the platforms via these normal links. Only after deliberate clicking does the data processing of the respective platform operator apply.
📅 Storage duration: depends on the respective platform operator
⚖️ Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in public relations and communication)

This website contains normal external links to Nimavero profiles on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok as well as to our community server on Discord. No social media plugins, embedded posts, videos, feeds or tracking scripts of these platforms are loaded.

When merely accessing the Nimavero website, no connection to the platforms mentioned is therefore established via these links. Only when you deliberately click one of the links are you redirected to the respective external platform. From this point onwards the respective provider may process personal data such as your IP address and further technical information as well as use its own cookies or similar technologies.

The respective platform provider is responsible for this processing. The privacy policies and terms of use of the platform accessed apply.

Discord

Our website contains a link to our community server on Discord. This is provided solely as an external link. Simply visiting our website does not establish a connection to Discord and no data is transferred to Discord through this integration.

Only when you actively click the Discord link do you leave our website and access Discord. From that point onward, the processing of personal data is governed by Discord's own privacy policy.

According to Discord, the service provider responsible for users in the European Economic Area is: Discord Netherlands B.V.

Further information about data processing by Discord can be found in Discord's privacy policy.

Privacy notices of the respective providers:

  • Instagram (Meta)
  • YouTube (Google)
  • TikTok
  • Discord

Legal Bases

The provision of the links is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in making our content and presences accessible on further communication channels. The actual data processing on the external platform only begins with your deliberate clicking of the link.

Voluntary Support and Payment Processing

Voluntary Support and Payment Processing – Summary
👥 Data subjects: Persons who open an external payment link or provide voluntary support
🤝 Purpose: Enabling voluntary support payments for Nimavero and the development of Veildelve - A World Shaped by Aether; documentation of support received; where applicable public acknowledgement by name after consent
📓 Data processed: when clicking an external link, inter alia IP address, time of access and device/browser information may be transmitted to the provider; depending on the provider, payment and transaction data as well as – at Nimavero – information on support received may be processed
📅 Storage duration: for as long as required for payment processing, accounting, record-keeping and statutory obligations; public supporter names until withdrawal or discontinuation of the list
⚖️ Legal bases: depending on the process Article 6(1)(a), (b), (c) and/or (f) GDPR

On our website we offer visitors the opportunity to support Nimavero and the development of “Veildelve - A World Shaped by Aether” through one-off or monthly recurring voluntary payments. The support is not connected with the purchase of a good or service and does not give rise to any entitlement to the game, early access, digital content or any other benefit in return.

Monthly recurring support can be managed and terminated via the respective payment provider. The specific handling and the time at which the termination takes effect are governed by the conditions and functions of the respective payment provider.

External Payment Links

On our website only links to external payment pages are provided. When merely accessing our website, no payment data is yet transmitted to the respective provider via these links. Only when a visitor opens the corresponding link is the payment provider’s website accessed.

When accessing an external payment link, in particular the IP address, date and time of access, device and browser information as well as the address of the previously visited website may be transmitted to the external provider.

When opening the link, visitors leave the Nimavero website. For the external payment page, the privacy policies and terms of use of the respective provider additionally apply. Nimavero does not process complete card, account or bank access data on its own website. The providers may process data for payment processing, identity verification, fraud prevention, security and fulfilment of statutory obligations.

No payment forms, widgets, tracking pixels, external scripts or embedded content of the payment providers are integrated into the Nimavero website.

Ko-fi

For voluntary support, a link to an external page of the Ko-fi platform may also be provided. When opening the link, visitors leave the Nimavero website and access the Ko-fi offering.

Ko-fi may process the following data, inter alia:

  • IP address
  • device and browser information
  • usage and access data
  • name or chosen display name
  • email address and other contact details
  • information about the support selected
  • technical and security-related information

The actual payment processing currently takes place via PayPal. The privacy policies and terms of use of PayPal additionally apply in this regard.

Further information on data processing by Ko-fi can be found in the privacy policy of Ko-fi: https://more.ko-fi.com/privacy

PayPal

Where support is processed via PayPal, the data necessary for carrying out and securing the payment is processed by PayPal.

Possible categories of data include in particular:

  • name and contact details
  • PayPal account information
  • payment and transaction data
  • amount, currency and time of payment
  • IP address
  • device and browser information
  • authentication data
  • data for fraud and security checks

Purposes of processing may in particular include carrying out the payment, payment confirmation, fraud prevention, handling refunds and disputes, IT and payment security as well as fulfilment of statutory obligations.

Further information on data processing by PayPal can be found in the privacy policy of PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/at/legalhub/paypal/privacy-full

Payment Information Processed by Nimavero

Depending on the payment provider used, Nimavero may receive information about support received. This may in particular include the name provided, email address, amount, currency, time of payment, a transaction identifier, payment status and a voluntarily submitted message.

Nimavero generally does not receive complete card or bank access data. Whether and which details are transmitted may depend on the respective provider and the payment method chosen. Absolute guarantees in this regard therefore cannot be given.

The information received may be used for allocation and documentation of the payment, answering enquiries, accounting, fulfilment of statutory obligations as well as handling possible payment problems. Payment amounts and payment information are not displayed publicly on the website.

One-off and Monthly Support

Support may, depending on the payment provider used, be one-off or monthly recurring. In the case of monthly support, the respective provider processes the data necessary for recurring payment processing. Management and termination of the recurring payment takes place via the functions of the respective payment provider.

Monthly support does not give rise to any entitlement to goods, services, exclusive content or any other benefit in return.

Public Mention as a Supporter

Supporters may, at their own request, be mentioned on the website with a self-chosen public name. Publication takes place exclusively after separate express consent.

Supporters are not automatically named publicly as a result of making a payment. The payment data is not used for automatic creation of the supporter list. No amounts, email addresses, payment identifiers or other payment data are published.

Consent to being publicly acknowledged by name may be withdrawn for the future. After withdrawal, the public name will be removed from the website within a reasonable period. The lawfulness of processing carried out until withdrawal remains unaffected.

The legal basis for public acknowledgement by name is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent).

Legal Bases of Payment and Support Processing

Depending on the specific processing operation, the following legal bases may in particular apply:

  • Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as processing is necessary for carrying out the payment transaction initiated by the supporter or for handling related enquiries
  • Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, insofar as statutory accounting, tax, evidence or retention obligations exist
  • Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for legitimate interests in secure, traceable and proper payment processing, fraud prevention as well as handling of payment problems
  • Article 6(1)(a) GDPR for voluntary public acknowledgement by name

Not every legal basis mentioned applies across the board to all processing operations.

Storage Duration in Connection with Support

Payment and transaction information is only stored for as long as is required for payment processing, accounting, record-keeping, handling possible claims and fulfilment of statutory retention obligations.

A published supporter name generally remains published until withdrawal of consent or until discontinuation of the supporter list.

Recipients and Possible International Data Transfers

Depending on the payment provider, its service providers and the technical payment processing, personal data may also be processed outside Austria or outside the European Economic Area.

The respective provider informs in its privacy policy about companies involved, service providers, categories of recipients, places of processing and transfer mechanisms used.

Blog and Development Posts

Blog and Development Posts – Summary
👥 Data subjects: Visitors to our blog and development pages
🤝 Purpose: Publication of editorial information about Nimavero, our projects and their development status
📓 Data processed: technically necessary access data, in particular IP address, time of page access, page accessed, browser and operating system; further details only if expressly published in a post
📅 Storage duration: in accordance with the information on web hosting and statutory retention obligations
⚖️ Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest)

Which Blog Function Do We Use?

On our website we publish editorial blog posts, in particular news and development reports on our projects. The posts are created by us and serve to inform the public.

The blog currently does not provide commenting, rating or user-submission features. Visitors can therefore not publish content, names, email addresses or other details via the blog itself. We also currently do not conduct surveys or votes via the blog.

What Data Is Processed?

When accessing a blog post, the same technically necessary access data is generally processed as when visiting the rest of our website. This may in particular include the IP address, date and time of access, the page accessed, the browser used, the operating system, where applicable, the previously visited page. Further information can be found in the section “Web Hosting by ALL-INKL.COM”.

Where blog posts contain external links, the corresponding sections of this privacy policy additionally apply. A connection to an externally linked social media platform is only established when you click the respective link.

Purpose and Legal Basis

We publish blog and development posts in order to inform about our projects, products, work and progress. Processing of the technically necessary access data takes place on the basis of our legitimate interest in a secure, stable and publicly accessible information offering pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Explanation of Terms Used

We always endeavour to draft our privacy policy as clearly and understandably as possible. Especially with technical and legal topics, however, this is not always entirely easy. It often makes sense to use legal terms (such as personal data) or certain technical expressions (such as cookies, IP address). We do not wish to use these without explanation, however. Below you will now find an alphabetical list of important terms used that we may not yet have sufficiently addressed in the privacy policy so far. Where these terms are taken from the GDPR and are definitions, we will also cite the GDPR texts here and where applicable add our own explanations.

Supervisory Authority

Definition pursuant to Article 4 of the GDPR

For the purposes of this Regulation:

‘supervisory authority’ means an independent public authority which is established by a Member State pursuant to Article 51;

Explanation: “Supervisory authorities” are always state, independent institutions that are also authorised to issue instructions in certain cases. They serve the performance of so-called state supervision and are located in ministries, special departments or other authorities. For data protection in Austria there is an Austrian Data Protection Authority; for Germany there is a separate data protection authority for each federal state.

Processor

Definition pursuant to Article 4 of the GDPR

For the purposes of this Regulation:

‘processor’ means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller;

Explanation: We as a company and website owner are responsible for all data that we process concerning you. In addition to controllers there can also be so-called processors. This includes every company or person that processes personal data on our behalf. Processors can therefore include, in addition to service providers such as tax advisers, hosting or cloud providers, payment or newsletter providers or large companies such as Google or Microsoft, for example.

Supervisory Authority Concerned

Definition pursuant to Article 4 of the GDPR

For the purposes of this Regulation:

‘concerned supervisory authority’ means a supervisory authority which is concerned by the processing of personal data because

a)

the controller or processor is established on the territory of the Member State of that supervisory authority,

b)

data subjects residing in the Member State of that supervisory authority are substantially affected or likely to be substantially affected by the processing, or

c)

a complaint has been lodged with that supervisory authority;

Explanation: In Germany each federal state has its own supervisory authority for data protection. If your company headquarters (main establishment) is therefore in Germany, the respective supervisory authority of the federal state is generally your point of contact. In Austria there is only one supervisory authority for data protection for the whole country.

Filing System

Definition pursuant to Article 4 of the GDPR

For the purposes of this Regulation:

‘filing system’ means any structured set of personal data which are accessible according to specific criteria, whether centralised, decentralised or dispersed on a functional or geographical basis;

Explanation: An organised collection of data stored on a computer data carrier is referred to as a “filing system”. If, for example, we store your name and your email address for our newsletter on a server, then this data is located in a so-called “filing system”. Among the most important tasks of a “filing system” are the rapid searching and finding of specific data and of course the secure storage of the data.

Consent

Definition pursuant to Article 4 of the GDPR

For the purposes of this Regulation:

‘consent’ of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her;

Explanation: On websites such consent usually takes place via a cookie consent tool. You are certainly familiar with this. Whenever you visit a website for the first time, you are usually asked via a banner whether you agree to or consent to data processing. Usually you can also make individual settings and thereby decide which types of processing you consent to and which you do not. If you do not consent, no personal data concerning you may be processed either. Fundamentally, consent can of course also take place in writing, i.e. not via a tool.

Personal Data

Definition pursuant to Article 4 of the GDPR

For the purposes of this Regulation:

‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;

Explanation: Personal data is therefore all data that can identify you as a person. These are usually data such as:

  • name
  • address
  • email address
  • postal address
  • telephone number
  • date of birth
  • identification numbers such as social security number, tax identification number, identity card number or matriculation number
  • bank data such as account number, credit information, account balances etc.

According to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), your IP address also constitutes personal data. IT experts can determine at least the approximate location of your device and subsequently you as the connection holder from your IP address. Storing an IP address therefore also requires a legal basis within the meaning of the GDPR. There are also so-called “special categories” of personal data that are also particularly worthy of protection. These include:

  • racial and ethnic origin
  • political opinions
  • religious or philosophical beliefs
  • trade union membership
  • genetic data such as, for example, data taken from blood or saliva samples

Profiling

Definition pursuant to Article 4 of the GDPR

For the purposes of this Regulation:

‘profiling’ means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements;

Explanation: In profiling, various information about a person is brought together in order to learn more about this person. In online environments, profiling is frequently used for advertising purposes or also for credit checks. Web or advertising analysis programmes collect data about your behaviour and your interests on a website, for example. This can be used to create a specific user profile, with the help of which advertising can be targeted at a target group.

Controller

Definition pursuant to Article 4 of the GDPR

For the purposes of this Regulation:

‘controller’ means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law;

Explanation: In our case we are responsible for the processing of your personal data and are therefore the “controller”. If we pass collected data on to other service providers for processing, these are “processors”. For this purpose, a data processing agreement (DPA) must be concluded.

Processing

Definition pursuant to Article 4 of the GDPR

For the purposes of this Regulation:

‘processing’ means 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, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction;

Note: When we speak of processing in our privacy policy, we mean any type of data processing. This includes, as mentioned above in the original GDPR definition, not only collection but also storage and processing of data.

Closing Remarks

Congratulations! If you are reading these lines, you have made your way through our entire privacy policy or at least scrolled this far. As you can see from the scope of our privacy policy, we take the protection of your personal data anything but lightly.
It is important to us to inform you to the best of our knowledge and belief about the processing of personal data. In doing so we wish not only to tell you which data is processed, but also to explain the reasons for the use of various software programmes. As a rule, privacy policies sound very technical and legal. Since most of you, however, are neither web developers nor lawyers, we also wanted to take a different linguistic approach and explain the matter in simple and clear language. This is of course not always possible given the subject matter. Therefore the most important terms are explained in more detail at the end of the privacy policy.
If you have questions on the topic of data protection on our website, please do not hesitate to contact us or the controller. We hope you enjoy the rest of your visit and hope to welcome you back to our website soon.
