General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to the processing of your data, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, provided that special categories of data as defined in Article 9(1) of the GDPR are processed.

The following sections of this Privacy Policy provide information on the specific legal bases applicable in each individual case.

Notice Regarding Data Transfer to Third Countries That Are Not Safe for Data Protection Purposes and Transfer to U.S. Companies That Are Not DPF-Certified

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in third countries that do not provide adequate data protection, as well as U.S. tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. Please note that in third countries that are not considered safe for data protection purposes, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed.

Please note that the United States, as a safe third country, generally maintains a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Accordingly, data transfers to the United States are permitted if the recipient is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has appropriate additional safeguards in place. Information regarding transfers to third countries, including the recipients of the data, can be found in this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business operations, we collaborate with various external parties. In some cases, this requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance 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) of the GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of data. When using data processors, we only disclose our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) E OR F OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS RELATED TO YOUR SPECIFIC SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. PLEASE REFER TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY FOR THE SPECIFIC LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) OF THE GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, THEN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) OF THE GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their workplace, or the location of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically, based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Access, Rectification, and Erasure

Subject to applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive, free of charge, information regarding your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to have this data corrected or deleted, if applicable. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter or any other questions about personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification process, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
  • If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request that the processing be restricted instead of having the data erased.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of having it erased.
  • If you have filed an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of your interests against ours must be conducted. As long as it remains unclear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data, apart from its storage, may be processed only with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercise, or defend legal claims; to protect the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of a substantial public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock icon in your browser bar.

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

Encrypted Payment Transactions on This Website

If, after entering into a paid contract, you are required to provide us with your payment information (e.g., account number for direct debit authorization), this information is necessary for processing the payment.

Payments made using standard payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are processed exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar.

With encrypted communication, the payment information you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Promotional Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact information published in accordance with our legal obligation to provide an “Imprint” for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited transmission of promotional information, such as via spam emails.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.

Cookies may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain third-party services into websites (e.g., cookies used to process payment transactions).

Cookies serve various purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website features would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart feature or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web traffic) (necessary cookies), are stored pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG); consent may be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block cookies in specific cases or in general, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

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

When you visit our website, a Borlabs cookie is stored in your browser to record the consents you have given or any revocations of those consents. This data is not shared with the provider of the Borlabs cookie.

The collected data will be stored until you request that we delete it, delete the Borlabs cookie yourself, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. For details on how Borlabs handles data processing, please visit https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/.

Borlabs’ cookie consent technology is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.

Inquiries via Email, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us via email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data contained therein (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of precontractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries directed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) if such consent was requested; you may withdraw your consent at any time.

The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request that we delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed).

Communication via WhatsApp

We use, among other things, the instant messaging service WhatsApp to communicate with our customers and other third parties. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland.

Communication takes place via end-to-end encryption (peer-to-peer), which prevents WhatsApp or any other third parties from accessing the content of the communications. However, WhatsApp does have access to metadata generated during the communication process (e.g., sender, recipient, and time). We also note that, according to its own statements, WhatsApp shares its users’ personal data with its parent company, Meta, which is based in the United States. For more details on data processing, please see WhatsApp’s Privacy Policy at: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.

We use WhatsApp based on our legitimate interest in communicating as quickly and effectively as possible with customers, prospective customers, and other business and contractual partners (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). If consent has been obtained, data processing is based exclusively on that consent; this consent may be revoked at any time with future effect.

The content of communications exchanged between you and us on WhatsApp will remain with us until you request that we delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

The company is certified under the “EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the United States designed to ensure compliance with European data protection standards when data is processed in the United States.

This data is associated with the user’s respective device. There is no association with a user ID.

In addition, we can use Google Analytics to track, among other things, your mouse and scroll movements and clicks. Google Analytics also uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected data sets and employs machine learning technologies in its data analysis.

IP Anonymization

Google Analytics IP anonymization is enabled. This means that Google truncates your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmitting it to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide the website operator with other services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
