I. Personal information about our work

Work better with security

Shortcut: are you looking for our password transfer system? You can find it here.

How we work:

Access data to third-party shop systems, Pay Pal accounts, admin areas: we know our responsibility. You have the possibility to deposit your FTP data as well as the access data to your shop in our system "PrivateBin" after the purchase transaction and to send us an encrypted link. Clicking on the link by us will then show us the access data and destroy the corresponding data record in the background, so that it can only be used once.

All access is encrypted with Keepersecurity, a password tool that rightly won first place in Stiftung Warentest in January 2020.

All data is classified according to security level: Staff, department management, management.
Example: Your shop access can have the security level "staff", your provider access "department management" and your PayPal account "management". You can influence which data should be stored at which security level. The higher the security level, the fewer people can work with it (this can also mean: your orders have a longer processing time).

It goes without saying, but we'll mention it here anyway: as your shop supervisor, we receive information about you, your company or your customers that is absolutely confidential. We only see this data on your behalf or if your behalf requires it; we only store and process this data on your behalf and treat all data absolutely confidentially. Within the company we work with different security levels, i.e. passwords to Paypal, for example, end up in a higher security level than access to your blog. You can - and should - give us separate access to your systems, which you can delete after you have successfully completed your order. Unless, of course, you want us to help you on the spur of the moment and on demand.

Read more tips on the subject here. Data protection. Of course, we will also provide you with an agreement on order data processing in accordance with DSGVO.

References / Backlinks:
Also for your benefit, we name you on our website in the sections "Current Projects", "Clients" and possibly "References" and set a so-called backlink to your website. This is actually only advantageous for you (SEO backlinks); however, if you have any concerns, an informal e-mail is sufficient and we will immediately remove all references to our business relationship from our website.

That was the personal part. The legal information follows.

The data is collected exclusively in pseudonymised form and is not linked to your other personal data; direct personal reference is excluded. This data is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients. If you wish to object to the data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We have concluded an order processing agreement with CleverReach, in which we oblige CleverReach to protect our customers' data and not to pass it on to third parties.
