Privacy Policy
This English translation is provided for convenience only. The German version is legally binding.
1. Controller
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:
2. Overview
This website is deliberately designed to be data-minimal: it sets no cookies, uses no analytics or tracking services and loads no content from third-party servers (e.g. external fonts, maps or embedded videos). Personal data is processed only to the technically necessary extent described below.
3. Hosting and server log files
This website is hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany. The server is located in a data centre in Germany. Processing is carried out on the basis of a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.
When you visit the website, the web server automatically processes information in so-called server log files which your browser transmits:
- IP address of the requesting device
- date and time of access
- requested page or file and the amount of data transferred
- browser type and version as well as operating system (user agent)
- referrer URL (previously visited page)
Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the technical provision, stability and security of the website (e.g. defence against attacks). The log files are not merged with other data sources and are automatically deleted after 15 days at the latest.
4. TLS encryption
For security reasons, this website uses TLS encryption (recognisable by "https://" and the lock symbol in your browser's address bar). Data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
5. Fonts
This website uses fonts that are stored locally on our own server (self-hosting). When you visit the website, no connection to servers of Google or other third parties is established and no data is transferred to third parties.
6. Local storage (localStorage)
If you switch the language of the website, your browser stores your language preference locally on your device (localStorage, entry "scendo_lang"). This information never leaves your device and contains no personal data. The storage is necessary for the function you requested (§ 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG) and therefore does not require consent. You can delete the entry at any time via your browser settings.
7. Report configurator
The entries in the report configurator (e.g. name or brand, sources, email address) are processed exclusively locally in your browser in order to show you a summary of your selection. These data are currently not automatically transmitted to us or to third parties. An order is only placed through your subsequent contact with us.
8. Contact by email
If you contact us by email, your details (email address, content of the message) will be stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and for possible follow-up questions. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR insofar as your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures, and otherwise Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries). We do not pass on these data without your consent. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected and no statutory retention obligations apply.
9. Your rights
As a data subject, you have the following rights:
- access to your data stored by us (Art. 15 GDPR)
- rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
- erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
- restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
- data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
- objection to processing based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (Art. 21 GDPR)
To exercise these rights, an informal email to the address given above is sufficient.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority responsible for us is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia (LDI NRW), Kavalleriestraße 2–4, 40213 Düsseldorf, Germany, www.ldi.nrw.de.
10. Validity of this privacy policy
This privacy policy is currently valid (as of June 2026). Further development of the website or changes in legal requirements may make it necessary to amend this privacy policy. The current version can always be found on this page.
