1.1 We are pleased that you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest. Below we inform you about how your personal data is handled when you use our website. Personal data is all data that can be used to identify you personally.
1.2 The controller responsible for data processing on this website within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Klaus Feldmann, Mobility Inflection Group, Brüsseler Straße 19, 52499 Baesweiler, Germany, phone: +4924016058483, email: klaus.feldmann@mobilityinflection.group. The controller responsible for the processing of personal data is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
2.1 When you use our website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to the server (so-called “server log files”). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:
The processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data is not passed on or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to review the server log files retrospectively should concrete indications point to unlawful use.
2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g. orders or inquiries to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the character string “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser bar.
To host our website and display its content, we use a provider that delivers its services itself or through selected subcontractors exclusively on servers within the European Union.
All data collected on our website is processed on these servers, unless other data recipients are named below for specific data processing operations.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email), personal data is collected. Which data is collected when a contact form is used can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your inquiry or for contacting you and the associated technical administration.
The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, an additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your inquiry has been finally processed. This is the case when the circumstances indicate that the matter concerned has been conclusively resolved and provided that no statutory retention obligations apply.
If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your email address. Providing further data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for sending the newsletter. This means that we will only send you an email newsletter once you have expressly confirmed that you consent to receiving the newsletter. We will then send you a confirmation email asking you to confirm, by clicking on a corresponding link, that you wish to receive the newsletter in the future.
By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to the use of your personal data pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. When you subscribe to the newsletter, we store your IP address assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of subscription in order to be able to trace any possible misuse of your email address at a later point in time. The data we collect when you subscribe to the newsletter is used exclusively for advertising purposes by means of the newsletter.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a message to the controller named above. After unsubscribing, your email address will be deleted from our newsletter distribution list without delay, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to further use your email address for advertising purposes, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.
After unsubscribing from the newsletter, your email address may be stored in a so-called blocklist and compared with the recipient lists of future newsletters in order to technically prevent the renewed sending of newsletters requiring consent. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in avoiding unwanted advertising mailings pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
Our email newsletters are sent via the following provider: STRATO GmbH, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany
Based on our legitimate interest in effective and user-friendly newsletter marketing, we pass on the data you provided when subscribing to the newsletter to this provider pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR so that it can handle the sending of the newsletter on our behalf.
Subject to your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, the provider also carries out a statistical success analysis of newsletter campaigns by means of web beacons or tracking pixels in the emails sent, which can measure open rates and specific interactions with the content of the newsletter. In doing so, end device information (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system) is also collected and evaluated, but not merged with other data sets.
You can revoke your consent to newsletter tracking at any time with effect for the future.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that protects the data of our website visitors and prohibits disclosure to third parties.
Plugins of the social network of the following provider are used on our website: Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland
These plugins enable direct interactions with content on the social network.
To increase the protection of your data when you visit our website, the plugins are initially deactivated and integrated into the page by means of a so-called “2-click” or “Shariff” solution.
This integration ensures that no connection to the provider’s servers is established when a page of our website containing such plugins is accessed.
Only when you activate the plugins, thereby giving your consent to the data transmission pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, does your browser establish a direct connection to the provider’s servers. In doing so, regardless of whether you are logged in to an existing user profile, information about your end device (including your IP address), your browser and your page history is transmitted to the provider to a certain extent and, where applicable, processed further there.
If you are logged in to an existing user profile on the provider’s social network, information about interactions carried out via the plugins is also published there and displayed to your contacts.
You can revoke your consent at any time by deactivating the activated plugin again by clicking on it once more. However, the revocation has no effect on data that has already been transmitted to the provider.
Data may also be transferred to: Meta Platforms Inc., USA
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

7.1 Applicable data protection law grants you the following data subject rights (rights of access and intervention) with respect to the controller regarding the processing of your personal data; for the respective requirements for exercising them, reference is made to the legal basis stated:
IF WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON THE BASIS OF A BALANCING OF INTERESTS DUE TO OUR OVERRIDING LEGITIMATE INTEREST, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS PROCESSING AT ANY TIME WITH EFFECT FOR THE FUTURE, ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.
IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED. HOWEVER, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE PROCESSING IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED BY US FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING. YOU CAN EXERCISE THE OBJECTION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.
The storage period of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and – where applicable – additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. commercial and tax law retention periods).
When personal data is processed on the basis of express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, the data concerned is stored until you revoke your consent.
If statutory retention periods exist for data processed within the framework of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, this data is routinely deleted after the retention periods have expired, provided it is no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in continued storage.
When personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
When personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
Unless the other information in this declaration on specific processing situations provides otherwise, stored personal data is otherwise deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
