We do not participate in out-of-court online dispute resolution. According to EU Regulation No. 524/2013, however, we are obliged to point out that the European Commission operates a platform for out-of-court online dispute resolution (so-called OS platform) at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.

The following statement informs you about what kind of personal data is collected for what purpose on this website by us as the responsible party and to what extent this data is made available to third parties.
The processing of personal data requires a legal basis, which we would like to present to you below.
For processing of personal data for which we obtain the consent of the data subject, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also includes processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 (1) lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the 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, Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. The legitimate interest of our company lies in the performance of our business activities as well as in the analysis, optimization and maintenance of the security of our online offer.
In the server statistics, data is automatically stored that the browser transmits to us as part of our legitimate interest in analysis and for security reasons (so-called "log files").
In detail, these are the following data:
As a rule, we cannot assign this data to specific persons. A combination of this data with other data sources is not made. The data is also deleted within 14 days after a statistical evaluation. Data whose further retention is required for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.
We make use of hosting services. These serve to provide infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services and technical maintenance services to maintain the operation of this online offer.
In doing so, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta data and communication data of customers, interested parties and visitors of this online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure provision of this online offer.
When you enter into a contractual relationship with us, we usually collect the data you provide, such as: First and last name, e-mail address, address, telephone / mobile phone number, information that is necessary for the execution of the contract.
We need this data so that we can identify you as a contractual partner, execute the contract, contact you and for billing purposes. The data processing is carried out on your / our request or order and is necessary for the stated purposes for the mutual performance and obligation arising from the contractual relationship.
We may also process data on the basis of a legitimate interest, e.g. when asserting or defending claims arising from the contractual relationship. The collected personal data will be stored until the expiry of the contractual relationship and then deleted, unless we are obliged to store it for a longer period of time in accordance with legal obligations due to tax and commercial law retention and documentation obligations (from HGB, StGB or AO).
The texts you send for translation are transferred to our servers and might be stored for up to 14 days. As LinguaQuest is in the early stages of its development, we need that data to understand how users interact with the system.
To improve the quality and availability of our system, we also store the following information:
When you contact us, e.g. by e-mail, your details will be stored by us in order to answer your questions.
As a matter of principle, data will not be passed on to third parties unless applicable data protection regulations justify a transfer or we are legally obliged to do so. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. In the event of revocation, your data will be deleted immediately, unless there is a legal exception for further processing. Your data will otherwise be deleted when we have processed your request or the purpose of storage has ceased to apply and there are no other legal exceptions to the contrary.
You can also apply to us, e.g. via our contact form. We process the data you have sent us in connection with your application in order to check your suitability for the position and to carry out the application process. Please note that your data will be accessible to our HR department and to the departments relevant to the position to be filled. We wish to consider all applications on the basis of qualifications only, regardless of race, ethnic origin, gender, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual identity. We therefore ask that you refrain from providing such information in your application if at all possible. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in application procedures is Section 26 BDSG or Article 6 (1) b) GDPR. According to this, the processing of data required in connection with the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship is permissible. If the data should be required for legal prosecution after completion of the application process, data processing may be carried out on the basis of the requirements under Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR, in order to safeguard legitimate interests. Our interest then consists in the assertion or defense of claims.

We use the Google Tag Manager. This allows us to manage website tags via an interface and thus, for example, integrate Google marketing services into our online offering. The Tag Manager itself does not process any personal data of the users. For the respective Google services, please refer to the respective notices and usage guidelines at https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.
When you use our services, we may process your requests by using the OpenAI API (OpenAI, L.L.C., a Delaware company with its registered office at 3180 18th Street, San Francisco, California 94110, United States). By using our services, you agree to have your information processed by OpenAI. OpenAI's API is developed and maintained by OpenAI Inc., and any information you provide when using our services may be transferred and processed by OpenAI for the purpose of providing their services to us.

Where recognizable in the individual tool descriptions, we use tools from US third-party providers. Insofar as this is necessary for the notified purposes, it may happen that your IP address is processed in this course outside the European Economic Area, where a level of data protection corresponding to the European standard is not always consistently ensured and confirmed (for example, by appropriate guarantee within the meaning of Art. 46 GDPR or an adequacy decision of the European Commission). Therefore, it cannot be ruled out in particular that security authorities in a third country may gain access to your IP address without you being able to take legally effective action against them.
The transfer of the IP address to these third-party providers takes place in accordance with Art. 49 (1) lit. a GDPR on the basis of your consent expressly given for this purpose in the consent banner. This consent is voluntary. You can revoke it at any time with effect for the future. You will not suffer any disadvantages as a result.
In the opinion of some U.S. third-party providers, a level of protection equivalent to the European standard is already guaranteed due to the conclusion of so-called standard contractual clauses as well as additional measures taken in the sense of the Schrems II case law. However, since the suitability of such measures to ensure a sufficient level of data protection is disputed, we have decided to transfer your IP address only with your consent.
The certification of some companies under the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) serves to ensure the level of protection and can be queried here for the companies: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/. This certification is sufficient as measures to ensure a sufficient level of data protection.
You have a right to information about the personal data stored by us about you. According to the legal provisions, you also have the right to correct incorrect data, restriction of processing, data portability and deletion of your personal data. To do so, send us an e-mail with the subject "Data protection". You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you are of the opinion that processing of personal data concerning you violates legal provisions.
For reasons arising from your particular situation, you may object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you by us that is carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1) (e) or (f); this also applies to profiling based on these provisions (Article 21 GDPR). If the legal requirements are met, we will subsequently no longer process your personal data.
In the case of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. Your objection will have the effect that the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
If you have given your consent, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
If we have not provided storage information on the specific points, the following applies: We store personal data for the duration of the respective statutory retention period or as long as the purpose of the collection exists. After expiry of the retention period, the data is routinely deleted, unless it is necessary for the initiation or performance of a contract. If user data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted as far as possible. Accordingly, the data will be blocked if possible and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to user data that must be retained for reasons of commercial or tax law.
We make every effort to process your personal data by taking all technical and organizational possibilities to comply with the provisions of data protection laws and thus to protect this data. Our website or the communication via our website with us is encrypted via HTTPS.
