The security of your personal data is an important concern for us. We therefore conduct our Internet activities in accordance with the laws on data protection and data security. ajando GmbH takes precautions to ensure the security of your personal data. Your data will be conscientiously protected against loss, destruction, falsification, manipulation, and unauthorized access or disclosure. The following will explain what information we collect and how we handle it.
We only collect and use the personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The regular collection and use of the personal data of our users takes place only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
Insofar as we obtain consent for the processing of personal data from the person affected, Art. 6 para. 1 (a) EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
In the processing of personal data required to fulfill a contract for which the contractual party is the person affected, Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to data processing that is necessary to carry out precontractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that the vital interests of the person affected or of another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 para. 1 (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the person affected do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
The personal data of the person affected will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislature in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
Name and URL of the retrieved file.
We reserve the right to statistically evaluate anonymous data records.
If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that an association with the accessing client is no longer possible.
The collection of the data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but the browser can be configured so that no cookies are stored on the user’s computer or a message always appears before a new cookie is created. However, the complete deactivation of cookies can lead to the circumstance that not all functions of our website can be used.
This means that information is stored in the cookie that results in connection with the terminal device being used. However, this does not mean that we gain direct knowledge of the user’s identity.
Technical precautions are taken to make sure the user data collected in this way is anonymous. Therefore, it is no longer possible to connect the data back to the accessing user. The data will not be stored together with other personal data of the users.
ajando GmbH also uses the email marketing system provided by CleverReach GmbH; Co. KG, 26125 Oldenburg in order to inform potential customers individually and to continuously improve its own offerings. CleverReach uses first-party cookies that can be removed at any time by deleting your browser cookies.
The user data collected by technically necessary cookies are used to create user profiles.
The analysis cookies are used to improve the quality of our website and its content. The analysis cookies give us information about how the website is used, and we can use this to continually optimize our offerings.
For these purposes, our legitimate interest also lies in the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analytical purposes if the user has given his or her consent in this regard is Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR.
In the context of data processing for the dispatch of newsletters, no data is passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter.
The user’s email address is collected in order to send them the newsletter. The collection of other personal data as part of the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address used.
The newsletter is sent out on the basis of the user’s registration on the website. The legal basis for the processing of data using cookies after registration for the newsletter by the user is Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. The user’s email address will therefore be stored for as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active. The other personal data collected during the registration process is generally deleted after a period of seven days.
This is also a way to revoke your consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process.
If you have any questions, you may contact us using the form provided on the website. It is necessary to provide a valid email address so that we know who sent the request and we can respond to it. Further information can be provided voluntarily.
Your data will be processed to process your contact.
The data processing for the purpose of contacting us is in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 (a) GDPR and is on the basis of your voluntary consent.
When contracts are concluded via the website, personal data is transferred to customers in accordance with the contract.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser for Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. We would like to point out that this website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp ()” and therefore IP addresses are only processed in shortened form in order to exclude a direct personal association.
