  • Right to Know or Access: Request that we disclose to you your personal information that we collected, used, disclosed, shared, and sold.
  • Right to Delete: Request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see “Identity Verification”), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
  • Right to Correct Inaccurate Personal Information: Request that we correct any of your personal information that we maintain about you that is inaccurate.
  • Right to Opt Out of Sales or Sharing of Personal Information: We do not sell your Personal Information for monetary profit. However, we may engage in certain information disclosure activities that may be considered “sales” or “sharing” under California Law. If we sell your personal information to or share such information with third parties, you may have the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of such information. To exercise the right to opt out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by visiting the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link on the homepage.


If you have an opt out preference signal enabled (e.g., the Global Privacy Control), you will automatically be opted out of the sale or sharing of your information, but we may ask you to confirm your preference if you have previously consented to the sale or sharing of your personal information. To download and use a browser supporting the opt-out preference signal, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/orgs. If you choose to you the opt-out preference signal, you will need to enable it for each supported browser or browser extension you use.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise your California privacy rights, please submit a request by contacting us via the methods in the “How to Contact Us” section below.


Identify Verification

We may require you to prove your identity to exercise certain rights. Depending on your request, we will ask for information such as your name, your telephone number, email address, and/or date of last communication with us.

We cannot respond to your request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for your right to access twice within a 12-month period.


Data Retention

We retain your personal information so long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed. When determining the retention period, we take into account criteria, such as the type of services requested by or provided to you, the nature and length of our relationship with you, use of our Website, and the impact on the Website functionality if we delete your personal information. Additional information regarding our data retention practices is identified in each “Storage period” section below.


Your Rights Under “Shine the Light”

If this applies, you may obtain the categories of personal information disclosed and the names and addresses of all third parties that received personal information for their direct marketing purposes during the immediately prior calendar year (e.g., requests made in 2024 will receive information about 2023 sharing activities). To make such a request, please provide sufficient information for us to determine if this applies to you, attest to the fact that you are a California resident and provide a current California address for our response. You may make this request in writing by contacting us via the methods in the “How to Contact Us” section below.

We have integrated Yieldmo Ads on our Website. Yieldmo Ads is a service provided by Yieldmo, Inc. that displays targeted advertising to users. Yieldmo Ads uses cookies and other browser technologies to evaluate user behavior and recognize users. Yieldmo Ads collects information about visitor behavior on various websites. This information is used to optimize the relevance of advertising. Furthermore, Yieldmo Ads delivers targeted advertising based on behavioral profiles and geographic location. Your IP address and other identification features such as your user agent are transmitted to the provider. In this case, your data will be passed on to the operator of Yieldmo Ads, Yieldmo, Inc, New York, New York, US.

Web tracking technologies are used to create pseudonymized user profiles. These profiles cannot be merged with you as a natural person, but are used, for example, for segmentation when displaying advertisements.

We operate profiles on the listed platforms in order to draw attention to products and services and to interact with customers, interested parties and other users of the platform.

In this context, the platform operators also use certain data that they have collected from users of the platform (e.g. whether a photo on a profile has been marked with "Like" or commented on) to create aggregated usage statistics and make them available to the respective operators of the profile (so-called "Insights" or "Analytics"). As the profile operator, we also receive such usage statistics. The information we receive as the profile operator does not allow us to draw any conclusions about individual users. The profile operator itself has no access to personal data that the platform operator processes for the creation of usage statistics. Only the respective platform operator determines which data is processed for these purposes and how. As the profile operator, we cannot exert any legal or actual influence on the processing by the platform operators.

Where possible, joint responsibility agreements are in place with the respective platform operators. In addition, data processing by us as the profile operator only takes place to a very limited extent:

  • Processing of usernames and comments that are deleted due to a breach of netiquette. These will be retained within the limitation period for any necessary evidence in the event of legal disputes.
  • Processing of usernames and individual messages when you contact us via messenger services
  • Processing of usernames when participating in competitions. The relevant conditions of participation apply.
  • Processing of usernames and postings in the context of inquiries and, if necessary, obtaining consent for the re-posting of images
  • Recruiting potential applicants on career platforms

For these purposes, we generally only process your name, message content, comment content and the profile information you have provided "publicly".


58. Leasing

Type and scope of processing

As part of our range of services, we offer the option of concluding leasing contracts in cooperation with our financing partner CONFIDEX Indigo. CONFIDEX indigo GmbH, Marienstraße 4, 71679 Asperg, Germany, collects and processes your personal data and passes it on to the lessor HW Leasing GmbH, Spiegelberg 57, 23966 Wismar, Germany.

Storage duration

The data collected will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship and expiry of any existing statutory retention periods. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Credit check

Type and scope of processing

Prior to the declaration of acceptance by the lessor HW Leasing GmbH, the lessor will carry out a credit check, the result of which will determine the acceptance of the application to conclude the leasing contract. For this purpose, the data you enter (e.g. name, address, age or bank details) will be transmitted to a credit agency. The probability of default is determined on the basis of this data. If the risk of non-payment is too high, your leasing application may be rejected.




59. Product availability mailing


We offer you the opportunity to register on our website for a notification in which we inform you about the availability of the products you have selected. You can use the “Subscribe” button to provide us with your name and e-mail address where we can reach you. You will then receive an e-mail from us in which you must confirm your identity via a confirmation link. If you do not do this, your data for the availability mailing will be automatically deleted after seven days. Your data will only be processed for the purpose of providing the availability mailing.

Once you have sent us a confirmation, you will be automatically notified within the next 30 days if the product is available. After 30 days, you will receive information from us that the availability mailing will be terminated if you do not wish to receive further notifications from us. If you no longer wish to receive notifications, your data will be removed from our system within 90 days, provided there is no legal basis for storing the data and no statutory retention periods prevent deletion. We may store your data for a longer period of time for verification purposes. In this case, however, you will not receive any further notifications. Your data is processed on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
