The privacy policy of the homebase solutions GmbH is based on the terms used for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For a complete overview of the terminology used, such as “cross-border processing” or “processor”, we refer to the definitions in Art. 4 of the GDPR. Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand. In order to ensure this, we would like to explain in advance the most important, explicitly used terms.

In this data protection declaration, we use the following terms:

a) personal data
The data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose fundamental rights and freedoms, and in particular their right to the protection of personal data, may be affected by the processing and free movement of such data.

Data subject means any identified or identifiable natural person whose fundamental rights and freedoms, and in particular whose right to the protection of personal data, may be affected by the processing and free movement of such data.

c) processing
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, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) controller or authority responsible for the processing
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.

e) recipient
Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data under a specific investigation mandate under Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients. The processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.

6.2. Categories of affected persons

The following categories of data subjects may be collected by the data processing described here:
- Visitors and users of this online offer
- Interested parties who come into contact with us
- Existing customers who inform themselves or get in touch with us
- People who use our services

In the context of this privacy policy, the data subjects are collectively referred to as “users”.

6.3. Purposes of processing

The following list describes the purposes of the processing of personal data in connection with the data processing described here and the necessary information and services:
- Provision of the online offer, its functions and contents
- Answering contact requests and communication with users, customers and interested parties
- Provision of contractually agreed services
- Marketing and customer consultingSecurity measures

We will collect, process and use the personal data you provide online only for the purposes we have informed you about.

The collection, processing and use may also take place for a purpose that is directly related to the original purpose for which the personal data was collected. Personal data may also be processed for the purpose of investigating specific incidents, for inspection purposes, for statistical purposes and for billing purposes, with the data being anonymized or pseudonymized as far as possible.

Furthermore, personal data may be collected on the basis of legal obligations or an administrative or judicial order, or to justify or protect legal claims or to prevent illegal activities.

We will not sell or market your personal data to third parties, nor will we disclose your personal data beyond the data transmissions described here for any other reason.

6.4. Storage of data

We store the respective categories of personal data as long as they are necessary for the processing of the individual operation, are required for the purpose of processing and are based on a legal basis or if this is required by applicable legislation. Numerous retention periods require that data remain (must) be stored. This applies in particular to commercial or tax retention obligations (e.g. Commercial Code, Tax Code, etc.). If there are no further retention obligations, the data will be routinely deleted after the purpose of processing has been achieved.

Furthermore, we may store data if you have given us your permission to do so or if legal disputes arise and we use evidence for this within the scope of statutory limitation periods.

6.5. Erasure and restriction of processing of personal data

The data we process will be erased, blocked or restricted in its processing in accordance with Articles 17 and 18 of the GDPR. As soon as personal data is no longer necessary for its intended purpose or as soon as a prescribed storage period has expired in accordance with the statutory retention obligations, the personal data are routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory regulations. If the data are not deleted because they are necessary for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing will be restricted. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be kept for commercial or tax reasons.

According to the legal requirements in Germany, the retention is for a period of 6 years in accordance with Section 257(1) of the German Commercial Code (commercial books, opening balance sheets, annual accounts, inventories, commercial letters, accounting documents, etc.) and for a period of 10 years in accordance with § 147(1) AO (General Fiscal Law) (such as books, accounting documents, records, management reports, commercial and business letters, documents relevant for taxation, et cetera).

7. Handling of contact data

Personal data is collected and stored by us when you provide it to us on your own initiative, for example when you contact us. If this concerns information about communication channels (e.g., e-mail address, telephone number), you also agree that we may contact you via this communication channel in order to process and answer your request. This information is communicated explicitly on a voluntary basis and with your consent. Of course, we will use the personal data transmitted to us in this way exclusively for the purpose for which you make it available to us when you contact us. This data will not be passed on to other third parties.

If you contact us by post, we may in particular process your address data (e.g., name, first name, street, place of residence, zip code), date and time of arrival of the letter, as well as the data resulting from your writing. If you contact us by phone, we will process your phone number, as well as any data collected during the conversation, such as your name, email address, time of call and details of your request.

7.1. Sending e-mails for contact

If you contact us via the above e-mail contact details of the responsible body or via the e-mail addresses mentioned on this website, we will also communicate with you by e-mail. The data you provide as part of this email communication will be processed via the mail servers of the service provider Hetzner Online. Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, D-91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany, is commissioned for the processing of personal data. Further information can be obtained from the data protection notice of the service provider Hetzner Online at Data Policy.

A transfer to third parties outside our network does not take place. A revocation regarding the use of your e-mail address is possible at any time for the future.Please note that e-mails sent without additional protective measures are neither secured against third-party knowledge nor against any alteration. This concerns both the communication partners and the content of the e-mail. If you want to provide us with confidential information, we recommend that you use alternative means of transmission, e.g., our contact form.

Homebase solutions GmbH will not send you any e-mails unsolicited. Should you receive e-mails with alleged sender address from our company that you cannot assign, it is most likely that they are forgeries (so-called fake e-mails) and you should delete them.

7.2. Contact form

If you send us inquiries via contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact data you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the request and in case of follow-up questions. This data is transmitted via systems of the web server and mail server operator (see information about e-mail dispatch and the web server operator). We will not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of the data entered in the contact form takes place only on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. Your contact details will be stored at least until your request has been completed and then deleted. In the event of a legal provision (e.g., contract of sale), your data will be stored in accordance with the statutory time limit.

The data entered by you in the contact form remains with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Your entered data are also processed at the web server operator and the e-mail service provider. Fro more information see paragraph above and the following chapter. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient for the revocation or deletion. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

8. Data collection at the web server operator

The web server operator – also called web hosting provider – provides access to the website and the web pages of homebase solutions GmbH on the Internet. The provider’s IT system automatically collects data about every access to this website (so-called server log files). Every visit to our website is therefore logged.

The data collection with the server operator is carried out with the following purpose limitation:
- detection of and protection against all kinds of cyberattacks (system security);
- maintaining the operational state of operation (smooth connection establishment and convenient use of the website);
- monitoring the functionality of server systems (system stability).

Scope of data collection and storage at the web server operator:
With each access to a page from the website of homebase solutions GmbH and every time a file is retrieved, the web hosting provider stores data about this process in the server log files – also called logging. In particular, the following dataset is saved via each retrieval:
- name of the retrieved file
- date and time of retrieval
- volume of data transferred
- message if the retrieval was successful

In the server log files, the web hosting provider additionally stores information that your browser automatically transmits to the web server for technical reasons. These are:
- browser type, version of the browser software, language of the browser
- operating system used
- referrer URL (the previously visited page)
- host name of the requesting device (IP address)
- time of server request

he web server operator uses the log data only for statistical evaluations for the purposes mentioned above. However, the web server operator reserves the right to retrospectively check the log data if there is a legitimate suspicion of illegal use on the basis of concrete indications. Personal storage of this data does not take place. This data will not be merged with other data sources. Your IP address will be deleted promptly by the web server operator in accordance with the legal requirements (at the latest after 7 days) or anonymized by shortening the IP address at domain level.We cannot conclude from the IP address you currently use, as this data would not be transmitted to us by your provider on request. We cannot – and do not want – understand which user has retrieved which data. The aforementioned data will not be passed on to third parties, even in excerpts, or in combination with other data.For the provision of our website, the web hosting provider is .webflow GmbH, Wasserburger Straße 4, 83352 Altenmarkt a. d. Alz, Germany. For further information, please refer to the privacy policy of the provider .webflow at this site.

The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in providing the website for our services (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Processing is a mandatory requirement for the use of our website, therefore there is no right to object.

9. Online use of third-party providers

Third-party providers whose functions and content are integrated into our website and commissioned by us, process various data directly in your browser or on your device when providing these contents or functions. For example, for the execution of a service of a provider, your IP address may be transmitted. Without knowledge of this IP address, the information presented by the providers cannot be sent and displayed to your browser. The IP address is therefore required for the transmission of this content. When you visit our website, we do not link your interactions with information that makes it possible to identify individuals directly. The use of third-party providers is based on our legitimate interests for a high-performance and user-friendly design of the content and operation of our website. For individual third-party providers, the legal basis is named in the respective subchapter below.

9.1. Amazon CloudFront

We integrate static and dynamic web content through the Amazon CloudFront web service to deliver our content faster. CloudFront accelerates the distribution of content by forwarding each user request through the AWS backbone network to the Edge location, which is the best way to deliver the content. The responsible body is Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, 38 Avenue John F. Kennedy L-1855, Luxemburg.

The purpose and scope of the data collection through the further processing and use of the data by the aforementioned service provider as well as your rights in this regard can be found in the respective data protection regulations of the service provider: aws.amazon.com/privacy

9.2. Embed.ly

Embed.ly provides tools and interfaces that we use to integrate our media content into our website, especially for YouTube. With Embed.ly, we set up a so-called Content Delivery Network (CDN) to improve the display and loading times of the content, e.g., through image optimization. Responsible body is A Medium Corporation, 799 Market Street, 5th floor, San Francisco, CA 94103, California, USA. It cannot be excluded that information may be transmitted to a server in the USA.

The purpose and scope of the data collection through the further processing and use of the data by the aforementioned service provider as well as your rights in this regard can be found in the respective data protection regulations of the service provider: embed.ly/legal/privacy.

9.3. Webflow.com

9.4. Website Fonts

This website uses statically integrated web fonts on our web server. Your browser does not connect to an external server for loading these font files (as cascading style sheets). When accessing one of our websites, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font installed on your computer will be used.

9.5. Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager, provided you have consented to the use of the Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a Google tool for managing and configuring the collection and usage of data when browsing our website. The corresponding settings are set in our website.

Provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA and for Europe it is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The Google Tag Manager processes information (including privacy data) by using so-called tags and triggers. Tags are information embedded in a website and evaluated by other services. Triggers are events that trigger the activation of tags, e.g., when a user clicks on an active element or scrolls the website. The Google Tag Manager makes the relevant data available to other Google services and the Google analysis tool in an appropriate form. It cannot be excluded that Google also transmits the information to a server in a third country. General information about the Google services can be found in Google’s privacy policy, further information on Google Tag Manager can also be found at the site. In the context of processing to be carried out on behalf of a controller, Google is entitled to contract subcontractors. A list of these subcontractors can be found here.

10. Analysis of website usage and ads conversion

This website uses functions for analyzing and statistically evaluating the usage of our website. Web analysis is the collection, accumulation and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. The analysis is used to record which individual subpages of the website have been accessed or how often and for which duration a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is used by us to optimize our Internet pages and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising. This enables us to design our website adapted to customer behavior.

There is currently no adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR for the use of Google Analytics. However, transmission may be based on standard contractual clauses. Google has committed itself to comply with the standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries in accordance with Article 46 para. 2 lit. d (Standard Contractual Clauses — SCC). For more information on the standard contractual clauses, see ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_en and Google Policies

10.1. Analysis of website usage (Google Analytics)

By integrating Google Analytics, we pursue the purpose of analyzing user behavior on our website and being able to react to this. This allows us to continuously improve our information for you and our product offering.The analysis is done with the help of the Google Tag Manager. In this process, the cookies typical for Google Analytics are set. Data generated by Google functions (services) and data from cookies can be transferred from your browser to a Google server. The Google services are provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA („Google“). Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland is authorized for the processing of data in Europe. For more information on the handling of user data and its analysis at Google, please refer to Google’s privacy policy

IP anonymization

We use the function “IP anonymization” on this website for analysis by Google. This means that your IP address is shortened before processing within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

10.2. Ads Conversion

Homebase solutions GmbH places advertisements on the social network LinkedIn. In order to evaluate this measure, the so-called ads conversion is used. A script from LinkedIn (LinkedIn conversion tracking) is loaded for this purpose. LinkedIn conversion tracking is used to track visitors that are redirected from LinkedIn ads (or the LinkedIn company profile).

By evaluating the information provided by LinkedIn, it is clear to us that someone clicked on the ad and was forwarded to our website. This information does not contain any personal data and is therefore not used for personal identification. We analyze the effectiveness of advertising measures only through statistical evaluation of non-personal data.

The LinkedIn conversion tracking service is provided by LinkedIn Corporation, 605 W Maude Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, California, USA. LinkedIn EMEA HQ, 2 Wilton Plaza, Dublin 2, Ireland is authorized for the processing of data in Europe.

11. Cookies

This website stores cookies on your computer system via the Internet browser you use. Cookies are small text files that are transferred and stored by a website via an Internet browser on a computer system – the user’s device. Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Cookies do not cause damage to your computer and do not contain viruses.

So-called http cookies (also “browser cookies”) have a name and a corresponding value (content) and are assigned to the visited website or a service used on this website. These cookies are either deleted automatically when the browser is closed (so-called “transient” cookie) or have a defined expiry date (so-called “persistent cookie”). Many cookies contain a unique identifier as a value. Such cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. The cookie ID consists of a string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. 

A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

This website uses cookies to make the website more user-friendly and functional. We also use cookies to statistically gather the range of our advertising activities. Thanks to these files, for example, it is possible to store certain settings and data via your browser for exchange with our system and thus display information tailored to individual interests on a web page. By means of information stored in cookies, the loading time of the website can be shortened. Security-relevant functions to protect your privacy are also made possible by the use of cookies. One purpose is therefore to best adapt our offer to your customer’s wishes and to make the use of the page as comfortable as possible. We also use cookies for analysis and for statistical evaluation of the use of our websites. In accordance with the GDPR, we are obliged to inform our users about the collection and evaluation of such data. The legality of the processing is already described in the chapter “Significant legal basis for processing”. The legal basis for technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR regarding our interest in a proper presentation of the website and the Protection of Privacy in Telecommunications and Telemedia (§ 25 para. 2 No. 2 Telekommunikation-Telemedien-Datenschutz-Gesetz (TTDSG)). The legal basis for not technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (user consent) and the Protection of Privacy in Telecommunications and Telemedia (§ 25 para. 1 Telekommunikation-Telemedien-Datenschutz-Gesetz (TTDSG)).
