Data Protection
We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with both the legal data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy. When using this website, various personal data will be collected. This Privacy Policy explains which data we collect, how we use it, and for what purpose. We would like to note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication by email) may involve security vulnerabilities. Complete protection against access by third parties is not possible.
Controller
The data controller responsible for the processing of data on this website is:
Dr. Tom Hohenadl
Bauernfeindstraße 2 1/2, 86159 Augsburg
Germany
Phone: +49 (0) 152 292 189 59
Email: tom@processera.de
The controller is the natural or legal person who determines, alone or jointly with others, the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses).
Data Retention
Unless a specific retention period is stated in this Privacy Policy, personal data remains stored until the purpose of processing no longer applies. If you request deletion or withdraw consent to processing, your data will be deleted unless we are legally required to retain it (e.g., for tax or commercial record-keeping). In such cases, deletion will take place once the relevant retention periods have expired.
Legal Basis for Data Processing
Where you have given consent, we process your personal data on the legal basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or, where special categories of data are processed, Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR. If you have expressly consented to the transfer of personal data to a non-EU country, processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. Where data is processed for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Where processing is required to fulfil a legal obligation, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR applies. Data may also be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The applicable legal basis for each processing activity is detailed in the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we may share personal data with external service providers. Data is only shared when necessary for contract performance, when required by law (e.g., to tax authorities), when we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or when another legal basis permits such disclosure. When using data processors, personal data is shared only on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement. Where processing is carried out jointly, a Joint Controller Agreement is in place.
Right to Withdraw Consent
You may withdraw any consent previously granted for data processing at any time. The withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.
Right to Object to Processing in Specific Cases and Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR IF PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO SUCH PROCESSING, INCLUDING PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority
If you believe that your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in your country of residence, your place of work, or the location of the alleged violation. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data we process on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. You also have the right to request transmission of this data directly to another controller, where technically feasible.
Right to Access, Rectification, and Erasure
Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to request free information regarding your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of the data processing. You may also request the correction or deletion of your data. You may contact us at any time regarding this or any other matters concerning personal data.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. This right applies in the following cases:
- If you contest the accuracy of your personal data, processing may be restricted while the data is being verified.
- If processing is unlawful, you may request restriction instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, you may request restriction instead of deletion.
- If you have objected to processing under Art. 21(1) GDPR, processing may be restricted pending the balancing of interests.
If processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain services provided by third parties (e.g., payment processing services). Some cookies are technically necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the website (e.g., shopping cart functionality, video display).

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services. If consent is requested for the use of non-essential cookies or comparable technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting), processing is based solely on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG) and may be withdrawn at any time. You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are used, allow cookies only in certain cases, block cookies generally, or delete cookies automatically when closing the browser.

6. Newsletter
Newsletter Data
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we require your email address, along with information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. Additional information may be collected voluntarily. We use this data exclusively to send the requested newsletter and do not share it with third parties. Processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form occurs exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw your consent to the storage of your data and email address and to receiving the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected. Data stored for newsletter distribution will be retained until you unsubscribe and then deleted from the distribution list. We reserve the right to remove email addresses from the mailing list at our own discretion under our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). After unsubscribing, your email address may be stored in a suppression list (blacklist) to prevent future mailings, if necessary. The suppression list data will not be used for any other purpose. This serves both your interest and ours in complying with legal requirements for newsletter communications. Blacklist storage is not time-limited. You may object to storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
