    Data protection
    The operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Hence,
    we handle your personal data as confidential information and in compliance with the statutory data
    protection regulations and this Data Protection Declaration.
    Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal information will be collected. Personal data comprises
    data that can be used to personally identify you. This Data Protection Declaration explains which data we
    collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the
    information is collected.
    We herewith advise you that the transmission of data via the Internet (i.e., through e-mail communications)
    may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data against third-party access.
    Information about the responsible party (referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)
    The data processing controller on this website is:
    Hilt.Con
    Sandra Hilt
    Freisinger Str. 81a
    85445 Oberding
    Germany
    Phone: +49 151 655 22117
    E-mail: sandra@hilt.consulting

    The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes
    decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing of personal data (e.g., names, e-mail
    addresses, etc.).
    Storage duration
    Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain
    with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for
    deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally
    permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the
    latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.
    General information on the legal basis for the data processing on this website
    If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or
    Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the case of
    explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art.
    49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your end
    device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on § 25 (1) TTDSG. The
    consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the
    implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
    Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, we process it on the basis of Art.
    6(1)(c) GDPR. Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest
    according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in
    the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
    Information on data transfer to the USA and other non-EU countries
    Among other things, we use tools of companies domiciled in the United States or other from a data
    protection perspective non-secure non-EU countries. If these tools are active, your personal data may
    potentially be transferred to these non-EU countries and may be processed there. We must point out that in
    these countries, a data protection level that is comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed. For
    instance, U.S. enterprises are under a mandate to release personal data to the security agencies and you as
    the data subject do not have any litigation options to defend yourself in court. Hence, it cannot be ruled out
    that U.S. agencies (e.g., the Secret Service) may process, analyze, and permanently archive your personal
    data for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.
    Revocation of your consent to the processing of data
    A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also
    revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness
    of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.
    Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct
    advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

    IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE
    THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON
    GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED
    ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS
    BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE
    WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO
    PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA,
    THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE
    PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION
    PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).
    IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING,
    YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR
    THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE
    EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL
    DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES
    (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).
    Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency
    In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory
    agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the
    place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other
    administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.
    Right to data portability
    You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of
    a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you should
    demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.
    Information about, rectification and eradication of data
    Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to demand information about
    your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data
    at any time. You may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradicated. If you have questions about
    this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any
    time.
    Right to demand processing restrictions
    You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is
    concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in
    the following cases:
    In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need
    some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to
    demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
    If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to
    demand the restriction of the processing of your data instead of demanding the eradication of this data.
    If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal
    entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead
    of its eradication.
    If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be
    weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the
    right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
    If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving –
    may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to
    protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by
    the European Union or a member state of the EU.
    SSL and/or TLS encryption
    For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or
    inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption
    program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser
    switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.
    If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
    Rejection of unsolicited e-mails
    We herewith object to the use of contact information published in conjunction with the mandatory
    information to be provided in our Site Notice to send us promotional and information material that we have
    not expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve the express right to take legal
    action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, for instance via SPAM messages.
  4. Recording of data on this website
    Cookies
    Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages that do
    not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session
    (session cookies) or they are permanently archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are
    automatically deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device
    until you actively delete them, or they are automatically eradicated by your web browser.
    Cookies can be issued by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies).
    Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies into websites (e.g.,
    cookies for handling payment services).
    Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically essential since certain website functions
    would not work in the absence of these cookies (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos).
    Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for promotional purposes.
    Cookies, which are required for the performance of electronic communication transactions, for the provision
    of certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or those that are necessary for the
    optimization (required cookies) of the website (e.g., cookies that provide measurable insights into the web
    audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited. The
    operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of required cookies to ensure the technically
    error-free and optimized provision of the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies
    and similar recognition technologies has been requested, the processing occurs exclusively on the basis of
    the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG); this consent may be revoked at any time.
    You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be notified any time cookies are
    placed and to permit the acceptance of cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude the acceptance of
    cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete-function for the automatic eradication of cookies
    when the browser closes. If cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be limited.
    Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.
    Real Cookie Banner
    Our website uses Real Cookie Banner’s consent technology to obtain your consent for the storage of certain
    cookies on your device or for the use of specific technologies and to document the former in a data
    protection compliant manner. The provider of this technology is devowl.io GmbH, Tannet 12, 94539
    Grafling, Germany (hereinafter referred to as “Real Cookie Banner”).
    Real Cookie Banner is installed locally on our servers, which ensures that a connection with Real Cookie
    Banner provider’s servers is not established. Real Cookie Banner stores a cookie in your browser to be able
    to allocate the consent you have granted or revoked. The data recorded in this manner will be stored until
    you ask us to delete them, revoke your consent to the archiving of your data or until the purpose of archiving
    the data no longer exists (e.g., upon completion of the processing of your inquiry). This does not affect
    mandatory statutory provisions – in particular those governing retention periods.
    We use Real Cookie Banner to obtain the consent required by law for the use of cookies from site visitors.
    The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
    Request by e-mail, telephone, or fax
    If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name,
    request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these
    data on without your consent.
    These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a
    contract or is required for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the data are
    processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries submitted to us (Art.
    6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the consent can be
    revoked at any time.
    The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your
    consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request).
    Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
    Communication via WhatsApp
    For communication with our customers and other third parties, one of the services we use is the instant
    messaging service WhatsApp. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand
    Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
    The communication is encrypted end-to-end (peer-to-peer), which prevents WhatsApp or other third parties
    from gaining access to the communication content. However, WhatsApp does gain access to metadata
    created during the communication process (for example, sender, recipient, and time). We would also like to
    point out that WhatsApp has stated that it shares personal data of its users with its U.S.-based parent
    company Meta. Further details on data processing can be found in the WhatsApp privacy policy at:
    https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.
    The use of WhatsApp is based on our legitimate interest in communicating as quickly and effectively as
    possible with customers, interested parties and other business and contractual partners (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
    If a corresponding consent has been requested, data processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of the
    consent; this consent may be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
    The communication content exchanged between and on WhatsApp remains with us until you request us to
    delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for which the data is stored ceases to apply (e.g.
    after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods, remain
    unaffected.
    We use WhatsApp in the “WhatsApp Business” variant.
    Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European
    Commission. Details can be found here:
    https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/business-data-transfer-addendum?lang=en.
    We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the above-mentioned provider.
  5. Social media
    Facebook
    We have integrated elements of the social network Facebook on this website. The provider of this service is

    An overview of the Facebook social media elements is available under the following link:
    https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
    If the social media element has been activated, a direct connection between your device and the Facebook
    server will be established. As a result, Facebook will receive information confirming your visit to this website
    with your IP address. If you click on the Facebook Like button while you are logged into your Facebook
    account, you can link content of this website to your Facebook profile. Consequently, Facebook will be able
    to allocate your visit to this website to your user account. We have to emphasize that we as the provider of

    legitimate interest in making our information as comprehensively visible as possible on social media.
    Insofar as personal data is collected on our website with the help of the tool described here and forwarded to
    Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2,
    Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 DSGVO). The joint responsibility is limited
    exclusively to the collection of the data and its forwarding to Facebook. The processing by Facebook that
    takes place after the onward transfer is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us
    jointly have been set out in a joint processing agreement. The wording of the agreement can be found under:
    https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for
    providing the privacy information when using the Facebook tool and for the privacy-secure implementation
    of the tool on our website. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook products. You can
    assert data subject rights (e.g., requests for information) regarding data processed by Facebook directly with
    Facebook. If you assert the data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.
    Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European
