3. General Information and Mandatory Disclosures

Privacy Policy

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection laws and this Privacy Policy. When you use this website, various types of personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.

Information about the data controller

The entity responsible for data processing on this website is: nacani GmbH Elkofener Weg 10 85567 Grafing/Schammach Phone: +49 (0)1715794465 Email: hi@nacani.de The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Retention period

Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this Privacy Policy, we will retain your personal data until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you submit a valid request for erasure or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these grounds no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to the processing of your data, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, provided that special categories of data as defined in Article 9(1) of the GDPR are being processed. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) of the GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Section 25(1) of the German Telemedia Act (TTDSG). Consent may be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The legal bases applicable in each individual case are described in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.

Notice Regarding the Transfer of Data to the United States and Other Third Countries

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the United States or other third countries that do not provide an adequate level of data protection. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. Please note that these countries cannot guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, U.S. companies are required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that U.S. authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on U.S. servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)( E OR F OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. YOU CAN FIND THE SPECIFIC LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) OF THE GDPR).

Right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of a breach of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place where the alleged breach occurred. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either directly or through a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request that the data be transferred directly to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Access, Correction, and Deletion

In accordance with applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as the right to have this data corrected or deleted, if applicable. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter or with any other questions about personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You may contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification process, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
• If your personal data has been or is being processed unlawfully, you may request that the processing be restricted instead of having the data erased.
• If we no longer need your personal data but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of being erased.
• If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of your interests against ours must be carried out. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may—apart from its storage—be processed only with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of a substantial public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Secure online payments on this website

If, after entering into a paid contract, you are required to provide us with your payment details (e.g., account number for direct debit authorization), this information is necessary for processing the payment. Payment transactions using standard payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are conducted exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser’s address bar. With encrypted communication, the payment details you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to promotional emails

We hereby object to the use of contact information published in accordance with legal disclosure requirements for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited transmission of advertising information, such as through spam emails.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any harm to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically. Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain third-party services within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services). Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are necessary for the execution of the electronic communication process, for the provision of specific functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function), or for the optimization of the website (e.g., cookies for measuring website traffic) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); consent may be revoked at any time. You can configure your browser to be notified when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.

Consent to Borlab's use of cookies

Our website uses Borlabs Cookie’s consent technology to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies in your browser or to the use of certain technologies, and to document this in compliance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Borlabs GmbH, Rübenkamp 32, 22305 Hamburg (hereinafter “Borlabs”). When you visit our website, a Borlabs cookie is stored in your browser, which records the consents you have given or the revocation of those consents. This data is not shared with the provider of Borlabs Cookie. The collected data is stored until you request its deletion, delete the Borlabs cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. Details regarding the data processing of the Borlabs cookie can be found at https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/. Borlabs’ cookie consent technology is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This information includes:

• Browser type and browser version
• operating system used
• Referrer URL

6. Analytics Tools and Advertising

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or analytics tools and other technologies into our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies, or perform any independent analysis. It is used solely to manage and deploy the tools integrated through it. However, Google Tag Manager records your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google’s parent company in the United States. The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and straightforward integration and management of various tools on its website. If consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

Google Analytics

This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, time spent on the site, operating systems used, and the user’s origin. This data is aggregated into a user ID and assigned to the website visitor’s respective device. Google Analytics uses technologies that enable user recognition for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google regarding the use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

IP anonymization

We have enabled the IP anonymization feature on this website. This means that Google will truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmitting it to the United States. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated 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 usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser plugin

You can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. For more information on how Google Analytics handles user data, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the "demographic characteristics" feature of Google Analytics to display relevant ads to website visitors within the Google advertising network. This allows for the creation of reports containing information about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data is derived from Google's interest-based advertising as well as from third-party visitor data. This data cannot be linked to any specific individual. You can disable this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google Account or generally prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data as described in the section “Objection to Data Collection.”

Order Processing

We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities regarding the use of Google Analytics.

Google Analytics E-commerce Tracking

This website uses the "E-commerce Tracking" feature of Google Analytics. With the help of E-commerce Measurement, the website operator can analyze the purchasing behavior of website visitors to improve its online marketing campaigns. This involves collecting information such as orders placed, average order values, shipping costs, and the time from viewing to purchasing a product. Google may aggregate this data under a transaction ID that is assigned to the respective user or their device.

Google Ads

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ads allows us to display ads in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when users enter specific search terms into Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on user data available to Google (e.g., location data and interests) (audience targeting). As the website operator, we can quantitatively evaluate this data by, for example, analyzing which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many ads resulted in corresponding clicks. The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time. Data transfers to the U.S. are based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Google Ads Remarketing

This website uses Google Ads Remarketing features. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ads Remarketing allows us to assign people who interact with our online offering to specific target groups so that we can subsequently display interest-based advertising to them on the Google Display Network (remarketing or retargeting). Furthermore, the advertising target groups created with Google Ads Remarketing can be linked to Google’s cross-device features. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been tailored to you based on your previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., a smartphone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., a tablet or PC). If you have a Google account, you can opt out of personalized advertising via the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/. Use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TTDSG. You may withdraw your consent at any time. For further information and the privacy policy, please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de.

Target audience segmentation with customer matching

To create target audiences, we use, among other things, Google Ads Remarketing’s customer matching feature. In this process, we share certain customer data (e.g., email addresses) from our customer lists with Google. If the customers in question are Google users and are logged into their Google accounts, relevant ads will be displayed to them within the Google network (e.g., on YouTube, Gmail, or in the search engine).

7. Newsletter

Newsletter information

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we need your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No other data is collected, or is collected only on a voluntary basis. We use newsletter service providers, described below, to manage the newsletter.

Mailchimp

This website uses Mailchimp to send newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. Mailchimp is a service that allows, among other things, the sending of newsletters to be organized and analyzed. If you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g., email address), this data is stored on Mailchimp’s servers in the United States. With the help of Mailchimp, we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent via Mailchimp, a file contained in the email (known as a web beacon) connects to Mailchimp’s servers in the United States. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, were clicked. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g., time of access, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be linked to the specific newsletter recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses may be used to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of the recipients. If you do not want Mailchimp to perform this analysis, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this purpose in every newsletter message. Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the withdrawal. The data you have provided to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this. Data transfers to the U.S. are based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://mailchimp.com/eu-us-data-transfer-statement/ and https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/#Annex_C_-_Standard_Contractual_Clauses. After you unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider, if necessary, to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used solely for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You may object to the storage of your data if your interests outweigh our legitimate interests. For more information, please refer to Mailchimp’s privacy policy at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.

Order Processing

We have entered into a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for the use of the aforementioned service. This is a contract required by data protection law that ensures that the service provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

8. Plugins and Tools

Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps mapping service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. To use the features of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence over this data transfer. When Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Fonts to ensure consistent font display. When you access Google Maps, your browser loads the necessary web fonts into its cache to display text and fonts correctly. The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings and to make it easy to find the locations we specify on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time. Data transfers to the U.S. are based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/.

The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. reCAPTCHA is designed to verify whether data entry on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is performed by a human or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the website visitor’s behavior based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various pieces of information (e.g., IP address, the duration of the website visitor’s stay on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place. The storage and analysis of the data are based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated spying and from SPAM. If consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, provided that the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG.

9. Online Marketing and Affiliate Programs

Affiliate programs on this website

We participate in affiliate partner programs. In affiliate partner programs, advertisements from a company (advertiser) are placed on the websites of other companies in the affiliate partner network (publishers). If you click on one of these affiliate advertisements, you will be redirected to the advertised offer. If you subsequently complete a specific transaction (conversion), the publisher receives compensation for this. To calculate this compensation, the affiliate network operator must be able to track which advertisement led you to the respective offer and prompted you to complete the predefined transaction. Cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) are used for this purpose. The storage and analysis of the data are based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the correct calculation of its affiliate commission. If consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, provided that the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time. We participate in the following affiliate programs: AdCell

10. E-commerce and Payment Providers

11. Our Services

Handling of Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply for a position with us (e.g., by email, mail, or via our online application form). Below, we provide information about the scope, purpose, and use of the personal data collected from you during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data are carried out in accordance with applicable data protection laws and all other legal provisions, and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection

If you submit an application to us, we will process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication details, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) (initiation of an employment relationship), Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (general contract initiation), and—provided you have given your consent—Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Consent may be revoked at any time. Your personal data will be shared within our company exclusively with persons involved in processing your application. If the application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 of the BDSG and Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

Data retention period

If we are unable to offer you a position, if you decline a job offer, or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided for up to 6 months from the conclusion of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves, in particular, for evidentiary purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it becomes apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will not take place until the purpose for continued retention no longer applies. Data may also be retained for a longer period if you have provided your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
