   Data protection
   The operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Hence,
   we handle your personal data as confidential information and in compliance with the statutory data
   protection regulations and this Data Protection Declaration.

   
   Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal information will be collected. Personal data comprises
   data that can be used to personally identify you. This Data Protection Declaration explains which data we
   collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the
   information is collected.

   
   We herewith advise you that the transmission of data via the Internet (i.e., through e-mail communications)
   may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data against third-party access.

   
   Information about the responsible party (referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)
   The data processing controller on this website is:
   Michael Kerschbaummayer
   Seilerstätte 12/32

   E-mail: business.office@wolke7.net

   
   The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes
   decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing of personal data (e.g., names, e-mail
   addresses, etc.).

   
   

   Storage duration
   Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain
   with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for
   deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally
   permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the
   latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

   
   General information on the legal basis for the data processing on this website
   If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or
   Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the case of
   explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art.
   49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your end
   device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on § 25 (1) TDDDG. The
   consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the
   implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
   Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, we process it on the basis of Art.
   6(1)(c) GDPR. Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest
   according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in
   the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

   
   Recipients of personal data
   In the scope of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, this also
   requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external
   parties if this is required as part of the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g.,
   disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f)
   GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of this data. When using processors, we only disclose
   personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract on data processing. In the case of joint
   processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

   
   Revocation of your consent to the processing of data
   A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also
   revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness
   of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

   
   Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct
   advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
   IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE
   THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON
   GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED
   ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS
   BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE
   WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO
   PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA,
   THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE
   PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION
   PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

   
   IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING,
   YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR

   THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE
   EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL
   DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES
   (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

   
   Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency
   In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory
   agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the
   place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other
   administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.

   
   Right to data portability
   You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of
   a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you should
   demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.
   Information about, rectification and eradication of data
   Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to demand information about
   your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data
   at any time. You may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradicated. If you have questions about
   this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any
   time.

   
   Right to demand processing restrictions
   You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is
   concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in
   the following cases:
   -In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need
   some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to
   demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
   -If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to
   demand the restriction of the processing of your data instead of demanding the eradication of this data.
   -If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal
   entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead
   of its eradication.
   -If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be
   weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the
   right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.

   
   If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving –
   may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to
   protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by
   the European Union or a member state of the EU.

   
   SSL and/or TLS encryption
   For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or
   inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption
   program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser

   switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

   
   If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

   
   Encrypted payment transactions on this website
   If you are under an obligation to share your payment information (e.g. account number if you give us the
   authority to debit your bank account) with us after you have entered into a fee-based contract with us, this
   information is required to process payments.

   
   Payment transactions using common modes of paying (Visa/MasterCard, debit to your bank account) are
   processed exclusively via encrypted SSL or TLS connections. You can recognize an encrypted connection by
   checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the
   appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

   
   If the communication with us is encrypted, third parties will not be able to read the payment information you
   share with us.

   
   Rejection of unsolicited e-mails
   We herewith object to the use of contact information published in conjunction with the mandatory
   information to be provided in our Site Notice to send us promotional and information material that we have
   not expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve the express right to take legal
   action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, for instance via SPAM messages.

   
   4. Recording of data on this website

   
   Cookies
   Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages that do
   not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session
   (session cookies) or they are permanently archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are
   automatically deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device
   until you actively delete them, or they are automatically eradicated by your web browser.

   
   Cookies can be issued by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies).
   Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies into websites (e.g.,
   cookies for handling payment services).

   
   Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically essential since certain website functions
   would not work in the absence of these cookies (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos).
   Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for promotional purposes.

   
   Cookies, which are required for the performance of electronic communication transactions, for the provision
   of certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or those that are necessary for the
   optimization (required cookies) of the website (e.g., cookies that provide measurable insights into the web
   audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited. The
   operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of required cookies to ensure the technically
   error-free and optimized provision of the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies
   and similar recognition technologies has been requested, the processing occurs exclusively on the basis of
   the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG); this consent may be revoked at any time.

   
   You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be notified any time cookies are
   placed and to permit the acceptance of cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude the acceptance of

   cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete-function for the automatic eradication of cookies
   when the browser closes. If cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be limited.
   If other cookies and services are used on this website, you can find this information in this privacy policy.

   
   Server log files
   The provider of this website and its pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server
   log files, which your browser communicates to us automatically. The information comprises:
   -The type and version of browser used
   -The used operating system
   -Referrer URL
   -The hostname of the accessing computer
   -The time of the server inquiry
   -The IP address

   
   This data is not merged with other data sources.
   This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest
   in the technically error free depiction and the optimization of the operator’s website. In order to achieve this,
   server log files must be recorded.

   
   Contact form
   If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the information provided in the contact form as well as any
   contact information provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event
   that we have further questions. We will not share this information without your consent.

   
   The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the execution of a
   contract or if it is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases the processing is based
   on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or
   on your agreement (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

   
   The information you have entered into the contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the
   data, revoke your consent to the archiving of data or if the purpose for which the information is being
   archived no longer exists (e.g., after we have concluded our response to your inquiry). This shall be without
   prejudice to any mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods.

   
   Request by e-mail, telephone, or fax
   If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name,
   request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these
   data on without your consent.

   
   These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a
   contract or is required for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the data are
   processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries submitted to us (Art.
   6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the consent can be
   revoked at any time.

   
   The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your
   consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request).
   Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

   The data you enter into the form will remain in our possession until you ask us to delete them, revoke your
   consent to the archiving of your data or until the purpose of archiving the data no longer exists (e.g., upon

   5. Newsletter

   
   Newsletter data
   If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as
   well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that
   you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or only on a voluntary basis. For the
   handling of the newsletter, we use newsletter service providers, which are described below.

   
   ConvertKit
   This website uses ConvertKit to send newsletters. The provider is ConvertKit, Inc., 750 West Bannock
   Street, Suite #761, Boise, Idaho 83701, USA (hereinafter “ConvertKit”).

   
   ConvertKit is a service that can be used, in particular, to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters.
   The data you enter to subscribe to the newsletter is stored on the servers of ConvertKit.

   Data analysis by ConvertKit
   With the help of ConvertKit we are able to analyze our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see if a
   newsletter message was opened and which links were clicked on, if any. In this way, we can determine which
   links were clicked on most often.

   
   We can also see if certain previously defined actions were performed after opening/clicking (conversion
   rate). For example, we can see whether you have made a purchase after clicking on the newsletter.
   ConvertKit also allows us to divide newsletter recipients into different categories ("clustering"). The
   newsletter recipients can be divided e.g., by age, gender, or place of residence. In this way, the newsletters
   can be better adapted to the respective target groups. If you do not want to receive any evaluations from
   ConvertKit, you need to unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a link in every
   newsletter message.

   
   Detailed information about the functions of ConvertKit can be found at the following link:
   https://convertkit.com/features/email-marketing.

   
   The ConvertKit privacy policy can be found at
   https://convertkit.com/privacy.

   
   Legal basis
   The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time
   with effect for the future.
   The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can
   be found here:
   https://convertkit.com/security.

   
   Duration of storage
   The data that you provide us with 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 or deleted after the newsletter has been cancelled. We reserve the right to delete
   email addresses within the scope of our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Data stored by us for
   other purposes remain unaffected.

   
   After you have been removed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us
   or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if such action is necessary to prevent future mailings. The
   data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves
   both your interest and our interest in compliance with legal requirements when sending out newsletters
   (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in
   time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

   
   The company is certified in accordance with the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an
   agreement between the European Union and the US, which is intended to ensure compliance with European
   data protection standards for data processing in the US. Every company certified under the DPF is obliged to
   comply with these data protection standards. For more information, please contact the provider under the

   6. Online-based Audio and Video Conferences (Conference tools)

   Data processing
   We use online conference tools, among other things, for communication with our customers. The tools we
   use are listed in detail below. If you communicate with us by video or audio conference using the Internet,
   your personal data will be collected and processed by the provider of the respective conference tool and by
   us. The conferencing tools collect all information that you provide/access to use the tools (email address
   and/or your phone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, start
   and end (time) of participation in the conference, number of participants and other “context information”
   related to the communication process (metadata).

   
   Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all the technical data required for the processing of the
   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 loudspeaker and the type of
   connection.
