4. Definitions
The data protection notice is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection notice should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
We use the following terms, among others, in this data protection notice:
- Personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. - Person concerned
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company). - Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction. - Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing. - Profiling
Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements. - Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person. - Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller. - Receiver
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular enquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients. - Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data. - Consent
Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
5. Legal basis of the processing
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases, it may be necessary to process personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were injured and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
6 Technology
6.1 SSL/TLS Encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data, or contact requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
6.2 Data Collection when Visiting the Website
When you use our website for informational purposes only, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called "server log files"). Our website collects a series of general data and information with each call of a page by you or an automated system. These general data and information are stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded:
- the types and versions of browsers used,
- the operating system used by the accessing system,
- the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers),
- the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
- the date and time of access to the website,
- an abbreviated Internet protocol address (anonymized IP address),
- the Internet service provider of the accessing system,
- the amount of data sent in bytes.
When using these general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is needed to
- correctly deliver the contents of our website,
- optimize the content of our website as well as the advertising for it,
- ensure the long-term viability of our IT systems and website technology, and
- provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack.
Therefore, the collected data and information are, on the one hand, statistically evaluated and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
The data is automatically deleted after 14 days.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes listed above for data collection.
7 Cookies
7.1 General Information about Cookies

8 Contents of Our Website
8.1 Contact / Contact Form
When contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data are collected. Which data are collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. These data are used and stored exclusively for the purpose of responding to your inquiry or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, then additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your inquiry, this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the relevant facts have been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no legal retention obligations.
9 Newsletter Sending
9.1 Newsletter Sending to Existing Customers
If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services from our range via email. According to § 7 para. 3 UWG, we do not need to obtain separate consent from you for this. The data processing takes place solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, a mailing will not take place by us. You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the person responsible mentioned at the beginning. Only transmission costs according to the basic tariffs will be incurred for this. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be immediately discontinued.
9.2 Advertising Newsletter
On our website, you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. What personal data is transmitted to us when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.
We inform our customers and business partners about our offers at regular intervals by means of a newsletter. The company's newsletter can generally only be received by you if (1) you have a valid email address and (2) you register for the newsletter shipping.
For legal reasons, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address you entered for the first time for newsletter shipping using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to verify whether you, as the owner of the email address, have authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) to the IT system you are using at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to trace the (possible) misuse of your email address at a later date and therefore serves as legal protection for us.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by email, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by you at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which you have given us for the newsletter dispatch, can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way. optout@capitain.io - contact us to unsubscribe from the newsletter.
The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of newsletter shipping is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
9.3 Newsletter Tracking
Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such emails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Through the embedded tracking pixel, the company can see if and when an email was opened by you and which links in the email were called by you.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by us to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to your interests. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Persons concerned are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued by the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by us. Automatically unsubscribing from the receipt of the newsletter is considered a revocation.
Such an evaluation is carried out in particular according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests in the display of personalized advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of our website.
10 Plugins and Other Services
On our website, tools from companies based in the USA are integrated, among others. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We point out that the USA is not a safe third country in terms of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to release personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It cannot be excluded that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) will process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.
10.1 Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies," text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server and stored there. We have activated IP anonymization on this website so that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transferred. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened 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 other services related to website and internet use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. The transmission of this data by Google to third parties takes place only on the basis of legal regulations or in the context of order data processing. By using these websites, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google and the method of data processing described above and the stated purpose. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of these data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link -https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
You can prevent the collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website: Disable Google Analytics

10.2 Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords)
The data controller on this website has integrated Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords). Google Ads is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in the search engine results of Google and in the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords with which an ad will only appear in Google's search engine results when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result with the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on relevant web pages using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.
The operator of the Google Ads services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on third-party websites and in the search engine results of the search engine Google and an integration of third-party advertising on our website.
If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, Google places a so-called conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. As long as the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, for example, the shopping cart of an online shop system, have been accessed on our website. Both we and Google can track whether a data subject who came to our website via an Ads ad generated sales, i.e., completed or canceled a purchase of goods.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to generate visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who have been mediated to us via Ads ads, i.e., to determine the success or failure of the respective Ads ad and to optimize our Ads ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google Ads advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.
The conversion cookie stores personal information, for example, the web pages visited by the data subject. Therefore, each time our web pages are visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on these personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as already described above, by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by Google Ads can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs. Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to interest-based advertising by Google. For this purpose, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be retrieved under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ abgerufen werden.
10.3 Google Maps
On our website, we use Google Maps (API) from Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually present geographical information. By using this service, you can, for example, see our location and make it easier for you to find us.
As soon as you access those sub-pages in which the map of Google Maps is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to servers of Google in the USA and stored there. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in to or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish the assignment with your profile on Google, you must log out of your Google User account. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interests in displaying personalized advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right.
If you do not agree with the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of using Google Maps, there is also the possibility to completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by turning off the application JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and therefore the map display on this website can then not be used.
The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers and an easy findability of the places indicated by us on the website. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
You can view Google's terms of use at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html , and the additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html
Detailed information on data protection in connection with the use of Google Maps can be found on Google's website ("Google Privacy Policy"): https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
10.4 Google WebFonts
Our website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, for uniform representation of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google's servers. This gives Google knowledge that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our online site.
This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Further information about Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
10.5 Google reCAPTCHA
Further information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google's privacy policy can be viewed at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/
10.6 YouTube (Videos)
This website uses the YouTube embedding function for the display and playback of videos offered by "YouTube," which belongs to Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").
The extended data protection mode is used here, which, according to provider specifications, only initiates the storage of user information when the video(s) are played. When the playback of embedded YouTube videos starts, the provider "YouTube" uses cookies to collect information about user behavior. According to "YouTube," these serve, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent abusive practices. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account when you click a video. If you do not wish to be associated with your profile on YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation takes place, in particular, according to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interests in the display of personalized advertising, market research, and/or demand-oriented design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must direct your objection to YouTube.
Regardless of the playback of the embedded videos, a connection to the Google network "DoubleClick" is established each time this website is accessed, which may trigger further data processing operations without our influence.
Further information on data protection at "YouTube" can be found in the provider's privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy
10.7 Audio and Video Conferences
Data Processing
For communication with our customers, we use, among other things, online conference tools. The specific tools we use are listed below. When you communicate with us via video or audio conference via the Internet, your personal data is collected and processed by us and the provider of the respective conference tool.
The conference tools collect all data that you provide/use for using the tools (email address and/or your phone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, the start and end (time) of participation in the conference, the number of participants, and other "context information" related to the communication process (metadata).
Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all technical data required for handling online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speaker, and the type of connection.
If content is exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise provided within the tool, this is also stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes, in particular, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared while using the service.
Please note that we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our possibilities are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conference tools can be found in the privacy policies of the respective tools used, which we have listed below this text.
Purpose and Legal Bases
The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services to our customers (Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves to generally simplify and accelerate communication with us or our company (legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR). If consent has been requested, the use of the respective tools is based on this consent; consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
Storage Duration
The direct data collected by us via the video and conference tools will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
