We use content or service offers of third-party providers on the basis of our legitimate interests in order to integrate their content and services ("services"). 

This always requires that the third-party providers of this content are aware of the IP address of the user, as without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browser. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. 

The following provides an overview of third-party providers and their content, together with links to their privacy policies, which contain further information on the processing of data and so-called opt-out measures, if any,

The processing of Personal Data depends on the nature of your contact. In addition to your name and email address, IP address or phone number, we usually collect the context of your message, which may also contain certain Personal Data. The Personal Data collected when you contact us is used to process your request, and the legal basis is your consent.

As part of the registration process, users provide their a) Full Name; b) User Name; c) Email address; d) Password. The data provided will be used for the purposes of creating and using the account and providing and/or using our services. In the context of the use of our registration and the use of your account, the legal basis for the data processing is the fulfilment of our contractual obligations and, in individual cases, the fulfilment of our legal obligations as well as consent.

We process the Personal Data that arises when you use our services in order to provide our contractual services. In particular, this includes our support, correspondence with you, invoicing, fulfilment of our contractual, accounting and tax obligations. Accordingly, the data is processed on the basis of the fulfilment of our contractual obligations and our legal obligations.

Also please note that when using our services, you become the data controller and we become the data processor in accordance with Chapter 4 of the GDPR. Where we process your Personal Data as data processor or in other words on behalf of you, we will process the Personal Data involved in your use of our services in accordance with your instructions and shall use it only for the purposes agreed between you and us.

We ensure that access by our employees to your data is only available on a need-to-know basis, restricted to specific individuals, and is logged and audited. We communicate our privacy and security guidelines to our employees and enforce privacy and protection safeguards strictly.

Further, please be advised that:

We process data in the context of administrative tasks and the organisation of our business and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In this context, we process the same data that we process in the provision of our contractual services. The processing bases are our legal obligations and our legitimate interest. 

If you make a purchase your payment will be processed via our payment service provider Stripe of 510 Townsend Street San Francisco California 94103. Payment data will solely be processed through Stripe/ PayPal and we have no access to any Payment Data you may submit. The legal basis for the provision of a payment system is the establishment and implementation of the contract.

If you have given us your separate consent to process your data for marketing and promotional purposes, we are entitled to contact you for these purposes through the communication channels for which you have given your consent.

You may give us your consent in a variety of ways, such as by checking a box on a form asking for permission to send you marketing information, or sometimes your consent is implied from your interactions or contractual relationship with us. In cases where your consent is implied, it is based on the assumption that you could reasonably expect to receive a marketing communication based on your interactions or contractual relationship with us.

Direct marketing is typically by email, but may include other less traditional or new channels. These forms of contact are managed by us or by our contracted service providers. Any direct addressed marketing sent or conducted by us or on our behalf will provide you with the opportunity to opt out or exclude yourself.

For business reasons, we analyse the data we have on business transactions, contracts, enquiries,browsing behaviour etc., whereby the group of persons concerned may include contractual partners, interested parties, and users of our services.

The analyses are carried out for the purpose of business evaluations and market research. The analyses serve us alone and are not disclosed externally and processed using anonymous analyses with summarised and or anonymized values. Furthermore, we take the privacy of users into consideration and process the data for analysis purposes as pseudonymously as possible and, if feasible, anonymously (e.g., as summarised data).

We are present on social media (currently [Insert Platform Name] of [Insert Payment Provider Address Details]). If you contact or connect with us via social media platforms, we and the relevant social media platform are jointly responsible for the processing of your data and enter into a so-called joint controller agreement. The legal basis is our legitimate interest, your consent or, in some cases, the initiation of a contract.

Within Power Funnels, those who have access to your information are those who need it to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations.

Processors used by us may also receive data for these purposes. These are companies in the areas of IT services, telecommunications, and sales and marketing. If we use processors to provide our services, we take appropriate legal precautions and corresponding technical and organisational measures to ensure the protection of Personal Data in accordance with the relevant legal provisions.

Data is only passed on to third parties within the framework of the legal provisions. We only pass on user data to third parties if this is necessary, for example, for contractual purposes or due to legitimate interests in the economic and effective operation of our company, or if you have consented to the transfer of data. 

To the extent necessary, we process and store your Personal Data for the duration of our business relationship, which includes, for example, the initiation and execution of a contract.

In addition, we are subject to various retention and documentation obligations, which result, among other things, from the statutory minimum retention periods and other retention periods prescribed in this sense, e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law. Depending on the document and the legal regulation, the periods specified there for storage and documentation are two to six years.

Our website uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of content or contact requests that you send to us. In addition, we have taken numerous security measures ("technical and organisational measures"), such as encryption or access only when necessary, to ensure the most complete protection of Personal Data processed through this website. 

Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can always have security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. And databases or records containing Personal Data may be breached inadvertently or by unlawful intrusion. If we learn of a data breach, we will notify all affected individuals whose Personal Data may have been compromised as soon as possible after the breach is discovered.

We may transfer your Personal Data to other companies as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. In order to provide adequate protection for your Personal Data when it is transferred, we have contractual arrangements regarding such transfers. We take all reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the Personal Data we transfer.
