Privacy Policy

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Where personal data (such as name, address, or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis wherever possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

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

‍

1. General Information on Data Processing

1. Scope of Processing Personal Data

We process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. Personal data of our users is generally only processed with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and the processing of data is required by law.

2. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

Where we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required for pre-contractual measures.

Where processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

3. Data Deletion and Storage Duration

Personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

‍

2. Rights of the Data Subject

Where personal data is processed by us, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights against the controller:
‍

1. Right of Access
You may request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by them.
If such processing exists, you may request information from the controller on the following: you have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is being transferred to a third country or an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

This right of access may be restricted to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of research or statistical purposes, and the restriction is necessary for the fulfillment of research or statistical purposes.
You may request information from the controller on the following:

  1. the purposes for which the personal data is processed;

  2. the categories of personal data being processed;

  3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been or will be disclosed;\

  4. the planned duration of storage of the personal data concerning you, or, if specific details are not possible, the criteria for determining the storage period;

  5. the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller, or a right to object to such processing;\

  6. the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;

  7. all available information on the origin of the data, where the personal data is not collected from the data subject;

  8. the existence of automated decision-making including profiling pursuant to Art. 22(1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing on the data subject.
    ‍

2. Right to Rectification‍
You have the right to request rectification and/or completion from the controller if the personal data processed concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete. The controller must carry out the rectification without delay.

Your right to rectification may be restricted to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of research or statistical purposes, and the restriction is necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes.
‍

3. Right to Restriction of Processing
You may request the restriction of processing of personal data concerning you under the following conditions:

  1. if you contest the accuracy of the personal data for a period enabling the controller to verify its accuracy;
  2. if the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and instead request the restriction of its use;
  3. if the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or
  4. if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.

Where processing of personal data has been restricted, such data may — apart from being stored — only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the EU or a member state.
If the restriction has been imposed under the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
Your right to restriction of processing may be restricted to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of research or statistical purposes, and the restriction is necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes.
‍

4. Right to Erasure

a) Obligation to erase

You may request the controller to erase the personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase such data without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies:

  1. The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
  2. You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  3. You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
  4. The personal data concerning you has been unlawfully processed.
  5. The erasure of personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under EU or member state law to which the controller is subject.
  6. The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8(1) GDPR.
    ‍

b) Information to third parties
Where the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is required to erase it pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR, they shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure of all links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data.
‍
c) Exceptions
The right to erasure does not apply where processing is necessary:

  1. for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
  2. for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under EU or member state law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  3. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) GDPR;
  4. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, to the extent that the right referred to under section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of those objectives; or
  5. for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
    5. Right to Notification
    If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of such rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed by the controller about those recipients.
‍

6. Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the data was provided, where:

  1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR; and
  2. the processing is carried out by automated means.
    ‍

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
The right to data portability does not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
7. Right to Object
You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on those provisions.

The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless they can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Where personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for such purposes.

You have the option, in connection with the use of information society services — notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC — to exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

You also have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR.

Your right to object may be restricted to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of research or statistical purposes, and the restriction is necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes.
‍

8. Right to Withdraw Data Protection Consent
You have the right to withdraw your data protection consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent prior to its withdrawal.
‍

9. Automated Individual Decision-Making Including Profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision:

  1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
  2. is authorized by EU or member state law to which the controller is subject, and such law contains suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, or
  3. is based on your explicit consent.

However, such decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR, unless Art. 9(2)(a) or (b) GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests.

In the cases referred to in points 1 and 3, the controller shall implement appropriate measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, including at minimum the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your own point of view, and to contest the decision.
‍

10. Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant of the progress and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.

3. Provision of the Website

Use of Google Fonts

  1. Scope of Processing Personal Data

Font requests are sent separately from google.com credentials that are sent to other authenticated Google services such as Gmail.
    The Google Fonts API logs details of HTTP requests, including the timestamp, the requested URL, and all HTTP headers (including the referrer URL and user-agent string) provided in connection with the use of the CSS API.
    IP addresses are not logged.
    Access to logged data is secure. Aggregated usage statistics are used to measure the popularity of font families and are published on the analytics page of Google Fonts.
