Section 2 Information about the purposes for which data are processed and the recipients of personal data
(a) When our website is used for purely informational purposes (i.e. if you do not log in, register, or otherwise provide information to use the website) we do not collect any personal data with the exception of the data that your browser transfers to enable you to visit the website. These data comprise:

• IP address
• Date and time of the query
• Time zone difference from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
• Content of the request (specific page)
• Access status/HTTP status code
• Volume of data transferred in each instance
• Website from which the request is received
• Your browser
• Your operating system and its user interface
• Language and version of your browser software.

The server log files with the data specified above are automatically deleted after 30 days. We reserve the right to store the server log files for longer in the event of circumstances that give rise to suspicion of unauthorised access (such as an attempt at hacking or a DOS attack).
In addition, cookies are stored on your computer when you use this website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive in such a way that they are allocated to the browser you use, and through which the body that sets a cookie (so in this case, us) receives certain information. Cookies are not able to execute any programs or transfer viruses to your computer. They are used to make the website more user friendly and more effective overall. We use cookies to enable us to identify you the next time you visit the site, provided that you have an account with us. Otherwise, you would need to log in again for each visit.
This website uses cookies to the following extent: Transient cookies (temporary use). Transient cookies are deleted automatically when you close the browser. In particular, this includes session cookies. These save what is referred to as a session ID, via which various requests from your browser can be allocated to the shared session. This enables your computer to be recognised again when you return to the website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.

This stored information is stored separately from any other information you may have given us. In particular, the data from cookies are not linked with your other data. The data are processed based on point (f) of Article 6(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our interest in the statistical evaluation of visits to our platform overrides the interests of users whose IP address is time-limited and processed without being allocated to a certain person.

(b) Collection of personal data when the contact form is used
The personal data you provide us with when making a contact request are used only to answer your question or make contact with you and for the associated processes of technical administration. These data are not disclosed to third parties. Submission of any personal information beyond your name and email address is voluntary.

You have, in addition to the rights described in Section 3, the right to revoke prospectively and at any time consent that you have given. Personal data that have been collected from you through the contact form will be deleted in such a case in conformity with data protection law. Your personal data will be deleted even without such revocation by you once we have processed your request.

c) Disclosure to third parties
For order processing purposes we disclose your personal data to the following recipients: Epunks GmbH, proprietors Boris Römer, Mark Heuermann, Meller Strasse 2, 33613 Bielefeld, service: IT support

Section 3 Duration of storage
We retain your personal data in all instances only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it has been collected pursuant to this Data Protection Policy. However, it may be that we are legally required to store certain data over a longer period of time. In this case, we ensure that your personal data are treated confidentially beyond the entire timeframe pursuant to this Data Protection Policy.

Section 4 Your rights

These are appropriately adapted to the current state of technological development in each case.

Section 8 Use of Adobe Typekit
We use Adobe Typekit for the visual design of our website. Typekit is a service of Adobe Systems Software Ireland Ltd. (“Adobe”) that gives us access to a font library. To incorporate the fonts we use, your browser must establish a connection with an Adobe server in the U.S.A. and download the font needed for our website. Adobe thereby receives the information that our website was accessed from your IP address. Further information about Adobe Typekit may be found in the data protection notice pertaining to Adobe Typekit, which you can access here: www.​adobe.​com/​privacy/​typekit.​html.

Section 9 Amendment
We will also adapt our Data Protection Policy on an ongoing basis in the context of the further technical development of our service offering as well as the legal framework.

Subject to applicable legal specifications, all amendments to the Data Protection Policy come into effect as soon as the updated Data Protection Policy is published. If we have already collected data concerning you and/or we are subject to a legal obligation to inform, we will also inform you of material amendments to our Data Protection Policy and ask for your approval should this be legally required.
