Personal data (usually referred to just as „data“ below) will
only be processed by us to the extent necessary and for the
purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website,
including its contents, and the services offered there.
Per Art. 4 No. 1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General
Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as the
„GDPR“), „processing“ refers to any operation or set of
operations such as collection, recording, organization,
structuring, storage, adaptation, alteration, retrieval,
consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination,
or otherwise making available, alignment, or combination,
restriction, erasure, or destruction performed on personal
data, whether by automated means or not.
The following privacy policy is intended to inform you in
particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal
basis for the processing of such data either under our own
control or in conjunction with others. We also inform you
below about the third-party components we use to optimize our
website and improve the user experience which may result in
said third parties also processing data they collect and
control.
Our privacy policy is structured as follows:
I. Information about us as controllers of your data II. The rights of users and data subjects III. Information about the data processing
I. Information about us as controllers of your data
The party responsible for this website (the „controller“) for
purposes of data protection law is:
orangeCloud Marius Nickig Lokstedter Weg 37 20251 Hamburg Germany

II. The rights of users and data subjects
With regard to the data processing to be described in more
detail below, users and data subjects have the right
to confirmation of whether data concerning them is being
processed, information about the data being processed, further
information about the nature of the data processing, and
copies of the data (cf. also Art. 15 GDPR);
to correct or complete incorrect or incomplete data (cf. also
Art. 16 GDPR);
to the immediate deletion of data concerning them (cf. also
Art. 17 DSGVO), or, alternatively, if further processing is
necessary as stipulated in Art. 17 Para. 3 GDPR, to restrict
said processing per Art. 18 GDPR;
to receive copies of the data concerning them and/or provided
by them and to have the same transmitted to other
providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR);
to file complaints with the supervisory authority if they
believe that data concerning them is being processed by the
controller in breach of data protection provisions (see also
Art. 77 GDPR).
In addition, the controller is obliged to inform all
recipients to whom it discloses data of any such corrections,
deletions, or restrictions placed on processing the same per
Art. 16, 17 Para. 1, 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does
not apply if such notification is impossible or involves a
disproportionate effort. Nevertheless, users have a right to
information about these recipients.
Likewise, under Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the
right to object to the controller’s future processing of their
data pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In particular,
an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct
advertising is permissible.
III. Information about the data processing
Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or
blocked as soon as the purpose for its storage ceases to
apply, provided the deletion of the same is not in breach of
any statutory storage obligations or unless otherwise
stipulated below.
Cookies a) Session cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or
other storage technologies stored on your computer by your
browser. These cookies process certain specific information
about you, such as your browser, location data, or IP address.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly,
efficient, and secure, allowing us, for example, to display
our website in different languages or to offer a shopping cart
function.
The legal basis for such processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b)
GDPR, insofar as these cookies are used to collect data to
initiate or process contractual relationships.
If the processing does not serve to initiate or process a
contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the
functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6
Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
When you close your browser, these session cookies are
deleted.
b) Third-party cookies
If necessary, our website may also use cookies from companies
with whom we cooperate for the purpose of advertising,
analyzing, or improving the features of our website.
Please refer to the following information for details, in
particular for the legal basis and purpose of such third-party
collection and processing of data collected through cookies.
c) Disabling cookies
You can refuse the use of cookies by changing the settings on
your browser. Likewise, you can use the browser to delete
cookies that have already been stored. However, the steps and
measures required vary, depending on the browser you use. If
you have any questions, please use the help function or
consult the documentation for your browser or contact its
maker for support. Browser settings cannot prevent so-called
flash cookies from being set. Instead, you will need to change
the setting of your Flash player. The steps and measures
required for this also depend on the Flash player you are
using. If you have any questions, please use the help function
or consult the documentation for your Flash player or contact
its maker for support.
If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, not
all of the functions on our site may be fully usable.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web
analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon
House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland (hereinafter: Google).
The Google Analytics service is used to analyze how our
website is used. The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f)
GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis,
optimization, and economic operation of our site.
Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, place,
time, or frequency of your visits to our website will be
transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored
there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called
anonymization function, whereby Google truncates the IP
address within the EU or the EEA before it is transmitted to
the US.
The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to
provide us with an evaluation of visits to our website and
what visitors do once there. This data can also be used to
provide other services related to the use of our website and
of the internet in general.
Google states that it will not connect your IP address to
other data. In addition, Google provides further information
with regard to its data protection practices at
https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners,
including options you can exercise to prevent such use of your
data.
In addition, Google offers an opt-out add-on at
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en in addition
with further information. This add-on can be installed on the
most popular browsers and offers you further control over the
data that Google collects when you visit our website. The
add-on informs Google Analytics‘ JavaScript (ga.js) that no
information about the website visit should be transmitted to
Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information
from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics
services we may use as detailed herein.
Google Fonts
Our website uses Google Fonts to display external fonts. This
is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House,
Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland (hereinafter: Google).
To enable the display of certain fonts on our website, a
connection to the Google server in the USA is established
whenever our website is accessed.
The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate
interest lies in the optimization and economic operation of
our site.
When you access our site, a connection to Google is
established from which Google can identify the site from which
your request has been sent and to which IP address the fonts
are being transmitted for display.
Google offers detailed information at
https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated,
https://policies.google.com/privacy in particular on options
for preventing the use of data.
