When you use our service, we process the information you provide in the application: details of persons (name, date and place of birth, nationality, address), of the company and the business premises, of the activity, your contact email, the billing address, your signature as well as uploaded proofs of identity and other documents. When the website is accessed, the server processes technically necessary access data (IP address, time, page accessed, browser).

• Preparation, checking and dispatch of your trade notification to the competent authority, contract processing and invoicing – Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b GDPR.
• Retention of invoices and business records under commercial and tax law – Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. c GDPR.
• Secure operation of the website, prevention of misuse (e.g. limiting requests) – Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR.

4. Recipients

Your trade notification and the required attachments are received by the competent trade office. We use Deutsche Post AG for dispatch by registered mail. The website and all data are hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen (server location Nuremberg, Germany), with whom a data processing agreement is in place. No data is transferred to countries outside the EU – except Google Ads if you have given your consent (see section 6).

5. Retention period

We delete incomplete applications after 14 days. We delete proofs of identity 30 days after completion of the order. We retain invoices and business records in accordance with the statutory periods (up to 10 years), without ID copies.

6. Cookies and Google Ads

We use technically necessary cookies so that your application can be saved temporarily, the session secured and your language and cookie choice stored (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR, § 25(2) TDDDG).

Only if you choose “Accept all” in the cookie banner do we integrate Google Ads conversion tracking (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). This allows us to measure whether a visit via one of our ads leads to an order. Cookies are set and data such as IP address, device and browser information and the pages visited, and in the case of an order the case number and order value, are transmitted to Google. A transfer to the USA is possible; Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 25(1) TDDDG).

You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future: Open cookie settings (also at the bottom of every page).

7. Address suggestions

Suggestions for places and streets come from a database on our own server. Your entries are not passed on to third parties for this purpose.

8. Security

Transmission is TLS-encrypted. Uploaded documents are stored in encrypted form outside the publicly accessible area and are accessible only to authorised staff.

9. Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21 GDPR). Please contact the address given above.
