Privacy Policy

The following information will provide you with an easy to navigate overview of what will happen with your personal data when you visit this website or use our services. The term “personal data” comprises all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter also referred to as “data”).

The entity responsible for processing your personal data within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR is:
transact.digital GmbH

Neue Rothofstrasse 13-19
60313 Frankfurt am Main
Germany

Phone: +49 69 66779969
E-mail: info@transact.digital

The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing of personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will be stored until the purpose for which it was collected 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., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

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, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on § 25 (1) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services-Data Protection Act (TDDDG). The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Within the scope of our business relationships, your personal data may be transferred to or disclosed to third-party companies. These may also be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), i.e. in third countries. Such processing is carried out exclusively for the fulfillment of contractual and business obligations and to maintain your business relationship with us (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b or lit. f in conjunction with Art. 44 ff. GDPR). We will inform you about the respective details of the transfer at the relevant points below.
The European Commission has certified certain third countries as having data protection standards comparable to those of the EEA through so-called adequacy decisions (a list of these countries and a copy of the adequacy decisions can be found here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en). In other third countries to which personal data may be transferred, however, there may not be a consistently high level of data protection due to a lack of legal provisions. If this is the case, we ensure that data protection is adequately guaranteed. This is possible through binding company regulations, standard contractual clauses of the European Commission for the protection of personal data in accordance with Art. 46 (1), (2) lit. c GDPR (the standard contractual clauses of 2021 are available at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32021D0915&locale-en), certificates, or recognized codes of conduct.
We would like to point out that such an adequacy decision by the EU Commission exists for the USA: the so-called “EU-US Data Privacy Framework (PDF). Data transfer to the US is therefore permitted if the recipient is certified under the DPF (see Art. 45 GDPR) or has appropriate additional assurances (see Art. 46 GDPR). Information on transfers to third-party countries, including the data recipients, can be found in this Privacy Policy.

In the scope of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is required as part of the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of this data. When using processors, we only disclose personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract on data processing (see Art. 28 GDPR). In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded (see Art. 26 GDPR).

If the legal basis for the processing of personal data is your consent, you can revoke your consent at any time. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation. In this case, it is possible that the data processing in question may still be permissible on another legal basis.

AS A DATA SUBJECT, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING PURSUANT TO ART. 21 GDPR, PROVIDED THAT THE PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART.
6 (1) (E) OR (F) GDPR. THIS IS PARTICULARLY THE CASE IF THE PROCESSING IS NOT NECESSARY FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF A CONTRACT WITH YOU. UNLESS THE OBJECTION IS TO DIRECT MARKETING, WE ASK YOU TO EXPLAIN THE REASONS WHY WE SHOULD NOT PROCESS YOUR DATA AS WE HAVE DONE WHEN YOU EXERCISE THIS RIGHT. IN THE EVENT OF YOUR JUSTIFIED OBJECTION, WE WILL REVIEW THE SITUATION AND EITHER STOP OR ADJUST THE DATA PROCESSING OR INFORM YOU OF OUR COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR CONTINUING THE PROCESSING.

As a data subject, you have the right under Article 77 of the GDPR to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority regarding the processing of your personal data by our company, for example with the data protection supervisory authority responsible for us: The Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, Gustav-Stresemann-Ring 1, 65189 Wiesbaden, email: poststelle@datenschutz.hessen.de

As a data subject, you have the right under Article 20 of the GDPR to receive the data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format or to request that it be transferred to another controller (“data portability”).

As a data subject, you have the right under Art. 15 GDPR to request information about your data processed by us. In particular, you can request information about the purposes of processing, the categories of data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, deletion, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right of appeal, the origin of your data if it was not collected by us, and the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information about its details.

As a data subject, you have the right under Article 16 of the GDPR to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate data or the completion of your data stored by us.

As a data subject, you have the right under Art. 17 GDPR to request the erasure of your data stored by us, unless processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for fulfilling a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercising, or defense of legal claims.

As a data subject, you have the right under Article 18 of the GDPR to request the restriction of the processing of your data if you dispute the accuracy of the data or if the processing is unlawful.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.
If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

We herewith advise you that the transmission of data via the Internet (i.e., through e-mail communications) may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data against third-party access.

Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are permanently archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device until you actively delete them, or they are automatically eradicated by your web browser.
Cookies can be issued by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies into websites (e.g., cookies for handling payment services).
Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically essential since certain website functions would not work in the absence of these cookies (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for promotional purposes.
Cookies, which are required for the performance of electronic communication transactions, for the provision of certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or those that are necessary for the optimization (required cookies) of the website (e.g., cookies that provide measurable insights into the web audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, § 25 (2) TDDDG, unless a different legal basis is cited. We have a legitimate interest in the storage of required cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, the processing occurs exclusively on the basis of the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG); this consent may be revoked at any time.
You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be notified any time cookies are placed and to permit the acceptance of cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete-function for the automatic eradication of cookies when the browser closes. If cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be limited.

This website uses the consent technology of Usercentrics to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your device or for the use of specific technologies, and to document the former in a data protection compliant manner. The party offering this technology is Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 München, Germany, website:https://usercentrics.com/(hereinafter referred to as “Usercentrics”).
Whenever you visit our website, the following personal data will be transferred to Usercentrics:

• Your declaration(s) of consent or your revocation of your declaration(s) of consent
• Your IP address
• Information about your browser
• Information about your device
• The date and time you visited our website
• Geolocation

Moreover, Usercentrics shall store a cookie in your browser to be able to allocate your declaration(s) of consent or any revocations of the former. The data that are recorded in this manner shall be stored until you ask us to eradicate them, delete the Usercentrics cookie or until the purpose for archiving the data no longer exists. This shall be without prejudice to any mandatory legal retention periods.
The Usercentrics banner on this website has been configured with the assistance of eRecht24. This can be identified by the eRecht24 logo. To display the eRecht24 logo in the banner, a connection to the image server of eRecht24 will be established. In conjunction with this, the IP address is also transferred; however, is only stored in anonymized form in the server logs. The image server of eRecht24 is located in Germany with a German provider. The banner as such is provided exclusively by Usercentrics.
Usercentrics uses cookies to obtain the declarations of consent mandated by law. The legal basis for the use of specific technologies is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract mandated by data privacy laws that guarantees that they process personal data of our website visitors only based on our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these data on without your consent.
These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the data are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries submitted to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

You have the option to register on this website to be able to use additional website functions. We shall use the data you enter only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service you have registered for. The required information we request at the time of registration must be entered in full. Otherwise, we shall reject the registration.
To notify you of any important changes to the scope of our portfolio or in the event of technical modifications, we shall use the e-mail address provided during the registration process.
We shall process the data entered during the registration process on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). This data is also processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your registration is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
The data recorded during the registration process shall be stored by us as long as you are registered on this website. Subsequently, such data shall be deleted, if there are no statutory retention obligations that prevent deletion.

This website uses social media plug-ins of the LinkedIn network, which are only loaded if you have previously activated the function by giving your consent. The provider is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
The plug-ins enable you to interact with social networks and other users. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 25 (1) TDDDG, i.e. integration only takes place with your consent.
The plug-in provider processes the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to display needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. The data is transferred regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in to the plug-in provider, the data collected about you will be directly associated with your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you click on the activated button and, for example, link to the page, the plug-in provider also stores this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, especially before activating the button, as this will prevent your profile from being linked to the plug-in provider.
The information collected is stored on the providers' servers, including outside Europe. In such cases, the provider has submitted to the EU-U.S. Privacy Framework. If the provider is not certified, we have agreed on so-called standard data protection clauses, the purpose of which is to ensure an adequate level of data protection in the third country.
You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. The easiest way to withdraw your consent is via our consent manager or via the functions of the social media providers. For further information on this subject, please consult LinkedIn’s privacy policy at:https://fr.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web tracking service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). We use this tool to analyze your user interactions on websites and in apps and to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user based on the statistics and reports obtained. We use Google Tag Manager to simplify the administration of this tool. We use the User ID feature. With the help of the User ID, we can assign a unique, permanent ID to one or more sessions (and the activities within these sessions) and analyze user behavior across devices. Further information is available at the following link:https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/3123662/. You can revoke your consent to the use of this function via the links described above or our Consent Manager.
We primarily collect information about your interactions with our website using cookies, device/browser data, IP addresses, and website or app activity. Google Analytics also collects your anonymized IP addresses to ensure the security of the service and to provide information about the region of the respective user (so-called “IP location determination”).
With the anonymization function (“IP masking”), Google shortens the IP addresses within the EU/EEA by the last octet.
Google acts as a processor and we have entered into a corresponding contract with Google. The information received about your use of this website and the anonymized IP addresses are usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and processed there. In these cases, Google has submitted to the EU-U.S. Privacy Framework.
The legal basis for the processing of the information is your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, § 25 (1) TDDDG). You may revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. The easiest way to do this is via our consent manager or by installing the Google browser add-on available at the following link:https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de/.
We use the User ID function. With the help of the User ID, we can assign a unique, permanent ID to one or more sessions (and the activities within these sessions) and analyze user behavior across devices. Further information is available at the following link:https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/3123662/. You can revoke your consent to the use of this function via the links described above or our Consent Manager.
In addition, we can check the success of our marketing campaigns by allowing Google to link the information to Google Ads and other products used. You can disable this feature via the Ads Settings Manager:https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/?hl=de/. For more information about the link, please visithttps://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de/.
We continue to use Google Signals. To do this, we collect additional information in Google Analytics about users who have enabled personalized ads. This provides us with extended reports on demographic characteristics and interests, and allows ads to be delivered to you in cross-device remarketing campaigns. If you do not want your data to be processed in this way, you can object to individualized advertising.
For more information about the scope of Google Analytics, please visithttps://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/. Google provides information about data processing when using Google Analytics at the following link:https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de/.
General information on data processing, which according to Google also applies to Google Analytics, can be found in Google's privacy policy athttps://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

We use Google Ads to draw attention to our offers with the help of advertisements. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your device. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, § 25 (1) TDDDG, i.e. the integration only takes place with your consent.
The advertising material is delivered by Google via so-called “ad servers.” To do this, we and other websites use so-called ad server cookies, which allow certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users, to be measured. The Google Ads cookies stored on our website enable us to obtain information about the success of our advertising campaigns. These cookies are not intended to identify you personally. The following information is usually stored as analysis values for this cookie: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), and opt-out information (indicating that a user no longer wishes to be targeted).
The cookies set by Google enable Google to recognize your Internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Ads customer's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and been redirected to that page. Each Ads customer is assigned a different cookie, so that the cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of other Ads customers. Through the integration of Google Ads, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad of ours. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider may obtain and store your IP address.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We ourselves do not collect any personal data independently in the advertising measures mentioned, but only provide Google with the option of collecting the data. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google that provide information about which ads were clicked on, how often, and at what prices. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising media; in particular, we cannot identify users based on this information.
You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing until the revocation. The easiest way to revoke your consent is via our Consent Manager or via the following functions: a) by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; in particular, suppressing third-party cookies means that you will not receive any ads from third-party providers; b) by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com",https://www.google.de/settings/ads, whereby this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating interest-based advertising by providers who are part of the “About Ads” self-regulation campaign via the linkhttps://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; d) by permanently deactivating them in your Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Google Chrome browsers at the linkhttps://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.
Further information on data protection at Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland, can be found here:https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacyandhttps://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html.

We use Google Ads with the additional application “Google Remarketing.” This process allows us to create advertisements based on existing information about you and to target you again during your further Internet use. This is done by means of cookies set when you visit our offers, which are used by Google to record and pseudonymize your usage behavior when visiting various websites. According to Google, the data collected in the context of remarketing is not merged with your personal data that may be stored by Google.
The legal basis for the processing of your data is also Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, § 25 (1) TDDDG, i.e. the integration only takes place with your consent. You can prevent or disable the remarketing function in the same way as described above for Google Ads.

We use Google Ads with the additional application “Google Conversion Tracking.” This is a process that allows us to check the success of our advertising campaigns. For this purpose, the advertisements are provided with a technical measure, e.g. an ID, which allows us to determine how a user interacts after clicking on the advertisements and whether one of our services is actually used. This provides us with statistical information about the total number of readers of our advertisements, which advertisements are particularly popular and, if applicable, further information about the consequences of the advertisement.
The legal basis for the processing of your data is also Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, § 25 (1) TDDDG, i.e. the integration only takes place with your consent. You can prevent or disable the conversion tracking function in the same way as described above for Google Ads.

Furthermore, the website uses the LinkedIn Insight Tag (or LinkedIn Pixel) from LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company (“LinkedIn”). By integrating this JavaScript tag, you as a user of our website can be shown interest-based and relevant advertisements (“ads”) when visiting the social network LinkedIn or other websites that also use this process, and we receive statistics about website visitors and demographics. Furthermore, we can evaluate your use of our LinkedIn advertising and your interest in our offers using a conversion tracking function and display LinkedIn ads to you via retargeting on other websites. We do this in order to improve the effectiveness of LinkedIn ads and make our website more interesting for you.
By integrating the LinkedIn Insight tag, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the LinkedIn server, both when you visit the LinkedIn website and when you visit websites that have integrated the LinkedIn Insight tag. LinkedIn and we are jointly responsible for collecting your usage data when you visit our website and for transmitting it to the provider, but LinkedIn is solely responsible for the relevant processing for the purposes described above after the data has been transmitted. We have no influence on the scope and nature of LinkedIn's use of the data, so we inform you according to our knowledge: By integrating the LinkedIn Insight tag, LinkedIn receives information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a LinkedIn service, LinkedIn can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with LinkedIn or are not logged in, it is possible that the provider may obtain your IP address, time window, and other identifying features and link them to the actions assigned to you.
You can deactivate the LinkedIn Insight tag and opt out of further advertising in the ad settings athttps://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/62931?trk=microsites-frontend_legal_privacy-policy&lang=en-US, and additionally athttps://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargetingopt-out. Further settings options and information can be found in the LinkedIn Privacy Center:https://privacy.linkedin.com/de-de?lr=1/.
The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, § 25 (1) TDDDG, i.e. integration only takes place with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time, most easily via our cookie manager. LinkedIn also processes your personal data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-U.S. Privacy Framework.
Further information on data processing by LinkedIn can be obtained from the provider, LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Attn: Legal Dept. (Privacy Policy and User Agreement), Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland; information on the LinkedIn Insight tag:https://business.linkedin.com/de-de/marketing-solutions/insight-tag?lr=1/; privacy information:https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?trk=homepage-basic_footer-privacy-policy/.

We use Friendly Captcha (hereinafter referred to as “Friendly Captcha”) on this website. The provider is Friendly Captcha GmbH, Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Woerthsee, Germany. Friendly Captcha is used to verify whether the entry of data into this website (e.g., into a contact form) is being processed by a person or an automated program.

For more related information please visit:https://friendlycaptcha.com/legal/privacy-end-users/.
The storage and analysis of the data occurs on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting the operator’s web presentations against abusive automatic spying and SPAM. In the event that respective consent has been obtained, the data will also be processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, if the consent comprises the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) as defined in the TDDDG. Such consent may be revoked at any time.

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract mandated by data privacy laws that guarantees that they process personal data of our website visitors only based on our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

We collect, process, and use personal customer and contract data for the establishment, content arrangement and modification of our contractual relationships. Data with personal references to the use of this website (usage data) will be collected, processed, and used only if this is necessary to enable the user to use our services or required for billing purposes. The legal basis for these processes is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
The collected customer data shall be deleted upon completion of the order or termination of the business relationship and upon expiration of any existing statutory archiving periods. This shall be without prejudice to any statutory archiving periods.

Compliance with legal requirements: We also process your personal data to fulfill other legal obligations arising in connection with our business activities.
