3. General information 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 applicable data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and how we use them. It also explains how and for what purposes this happens.

We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Notice concerning the responsible party

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Lukas Leisten
Hagellachstr. 11
69124 Heidelberg

Phone: +49 (0)6221 7258435
Email: support@tynopia.net

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Storage duration

Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted if we have no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); otherwise, deletion will take place after those reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, provided that special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9(1) GDPR. In the event of an express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing additionally takes place on the basis of § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data are necessary for contract performance or for the implementation of pre-contract measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The respective legal bases applicable in each case are explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Notice on the transfer of data to third countries that are not legally secure under data protection law as well as the transfer to US companies that are not DPF-certified

We use, among other things, tools from companies based in third countries that are not legally secure under data protection law, as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We point out that in third countries that are not legally secure, no data protection level comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed.

We point out that the USA generally provides a level of data protection comparable to the EU as a safe third country. A transfer of data to the USA is therefore permitted if the recipient is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) or provides appropriate additional guarantees. Information about transfers to third countries, including the data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

Within the scope of our business activities, we work with various external entities. In doing so, it may also be necessary to transfer personal data to these external entities. We only pass on personal data to external entities if this is necessary in the context of fulfilling a contract, if we are legally required to do so (e.g. forwarding data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in such disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we only provide personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract for processing on behalf of the controller. In the event of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until withdrawal is not affected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in special cases as well as to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH THE PROCESSING IS BASED IS PROVIDED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS THE AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE REASONS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THAT THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED TO OPERATE DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA RELATING TO YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING IF IT IS CONNECTED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL BE NO LONGER USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, the affected persons have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their usual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint does not affect any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, and to transfer it to you or to another controller in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this is done only insofar as it is technically feasible.

Right to information, rectification and deletion

You have the right under the applicable legal provisions at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. To this end, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we will usually need time to verify this. During the time of the review, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you can instead request restriction of processing rather than deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
  • If you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, those data - with the exception of storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the purposes of asserting, exercising or defending 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.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption when you send orders or requests to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and the lock symbol appears in your browser bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets and cause no harm to your end device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain on your end device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies can come from us (first-party cookies) or from third parties (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain services of third parties within websites (e.g. cookies for the processing of payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you request (e.g. shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) are (so-called necessary cookies) stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been obtained, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of that consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases, or generally, as well as activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. When cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.

If further cookies and services are used on this website, you can find this in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

There is no merging of this data with other data sources.

Data collection is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and the optimization of its website - for this, server log files must be collected.

Request by email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your request including all personal data resulting from it (name, request) is stored and processed with us for the purpose of handling your inquiry. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to fulfilling a contract or if it is necessary for carrying out pre-contract measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if it has been obtained; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data that you send to us in the course of contact requests remains with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after the completion of processing of your inquiry). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.
