Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the responsible body

Zeitfracht Medien GmbH
Industriestrasse 23
70565 Stuttgart

Email:info-medien@kolibri360.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, email 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 data processing 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. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

Data Protection Officer

We have appointed a data protection officer for our company. You can contact him at:dsb@kolibri360.de

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

Among other things, we use tools provided by companies based in the United States. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these companies’ servers in the United States and processed there.

To the extent that these providers are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), the transfer is based on the EU Commission’s Adequacy Decision of July 10, 2023; in addition, standard contractual clauses are generally agreed upon. Please note that, from a data protection perspective, the United States is a third country, and a level of data protection fully comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed in all cases.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. YOU CAN FIND THE SPECIFIC LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) of the GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSES OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) OF THE GDPR).

Right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

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 request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.

Information, deletion and correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data at any time. You can contact us at any time if you have further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to check this. You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data for the duration of the review.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have filed an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of your interests against ours must be conducted. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to advertising e-mails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of our obligation to provide a legal notice for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

4. data collection on this website

Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that do not cause any harm to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.

Cookies may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain third-party services into websites.

Cookies serve various purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website features would not work without them. Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you have requested, or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web traffic) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and similar tracking technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG); consent may be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

You can find out exactly which cookies and services are used on this website at any time by checking the cookie settings on this website and the cookie policy provided there.

Consent with Complianz

This website uses the "Complianz | GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent" cookie consent technology to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your device or to the use of certain technologies, and to document this in compliance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Complianz B.V., Atoomweg 6b, 9743 AK Groningen, Netherlands (hereinafter “Complianz”).

When you visit our website, a Complianz cookie is stored in your browser to record the consents you have given or any revocation of those consents. This data is stored exclusively in your browser or on our own server; it is not transmitted to Complianz or any other third parties. The data collected in this manner is stored until you request its deletion, delete the Complianz cookie yourself, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory legal retention requirements remain unaffected.

Complianz is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is collected pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in ensuring that its website functions properly and is optimized—to this end, server log files must be collected.

Contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries directed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR), provided that such consent has been requested.

We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

Technical Implementation of the Forms (WPForms)

We use the “WPForms” software to provide our forms. WPForms is hosted exclusively on our own web server. Your form submissions are not transmitted to the software manufacturer or any other third parties.

Your submissions are sent to us via email and are also stored in this website’s database to ensure that inquiries are not lost even if there is a problem with email delivery. The time of submission and the page you were viewing are stored along with your submissions. Storing your IP address and permanent tracking via cookies are disabled in our settings.

The form entries stored in the database will be deleted as soon as the purpose for which they were stored no longer applies, but no later than upon completion of the processing of your request; statutory retention periods remain unaffected. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) or (f) of the GDPR.

Spam Protection for Forms

To protect our forms from automated spam submissions, we use a so-called “honeypot” method. This involves adding an additional field to the form that is invisible to you and is filled in only by automated programs. We do not analyze your usage behavior, evaluate mouse or keyboard inputs, or transmit data to third parties. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in protecting our website from abusive automated use.

Request by e-mail, telephone or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, we will store and process your inquiry, including all personal data (name, inquiry), for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries directed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR), provided that such consent has been requested.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

Search Function

This website uses the Relevanssi plugin for its internal search function. When you use the search function, the search term you enter is stored in this website’s database along with the time of the search and the number of results. Your IP address is not stored in this process. The data is analyzed exclusively for statistical purposes and is used to improve the content and structure of the website. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in tailoring our offerings to user needs. The logs are automatically deleted after 30 days. We cannot link this data to you personally unless you are logged in.

5. Analytics Tools and Tag Management

Google Analytics 4

This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).

Google Analytics enables website operators to analyze the behavior of website visitors. In doing so, website operators receive various usage data, such as page views, time spent on the site, operating systems used, and the user’s location. This data is associated with the respective session or device.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable user recognition for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google regarding the use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. Google Analytics 4 uses IP truncation by default, making it more difficult to directly identify individuals based on their IP address.

Use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG. You may withdraw your consent at any time. Data processing will not take place until you have actively given your consent via our consent banner.

The usage data collected by Google Analytics is automatically deleted after 14 months.

Data transfers to the United States are based on the European Commission’s adequacy decision (EU-US Data Privacy Framework); Google is certified under the DPF. Standard contractual clauses are also in place.

Order processing

We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities regarding the use of Google Analytics.

Google Site Kit

To analyze the Google services mentioned above within our content management system, we use the “Site Kit by Google” plugin. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).

Site Kit integrates analytics data from Google Analytics and Google Search Console into our website’s admin panel. Site Kit itself does not perform any separate data processing for website visitors; the plugin merely manages the integration of the services described above, which are loaded only with your consent. The legal basis for the use of Site Kit is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the efficient analysis and improvement of our online offerings.

For more information, please see Google's Privacy Policy:https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

6. Plugins and Tools

Google Fonts (local hosting)

This site uses web fonts provided by Google to ensure consistent font display. The Google Fonts are installed locally. No connection is made to Google's servers.

For more information about Google Fonts, visithttps://developers.google.com/fonts/faqand see Google's Privacy Policy:https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Bookstore Search and Google Maps

On this website, we offer a search function to find bookstores in your area. To display the map, we use the Google Maps service as well as supplementary services from the Google Maps Platform. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).

Map Display

The map doesnot load automatically. Unless you have given your consent, you will see a placeholder with a corresponding notice in place of the map. Only when you actively enable the map—via our consent banner or the notice on the placeholder—will a connection to Google’s servers be established. In the process, your IP address, information about your browser and operating system, and the page you are viewing are transmitted to Google; in addition, Google may store or read information on your device. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence over this data processing.

The legal basis is solely your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG. You may revoke your consent at any time via the cookie settings on this website, effective for the future.

Address Entry and Location Suggestions

When you enter a location or address in the search field, relevant suggestions may appear as you type. These suggestions are provided by Google; your input is transmitted to Google as you type. This feature is also activated only after you give your consent. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG.

Nearby Search

The conversion of your input into geographic coordinates and the determination of the nearest bookstores take place on our own server. Your IP address is not transmitted to Google during this process. To protect against abusive automated use, we store a non-traceable verification value of your IP address for a maximum of ten minutes in order to limit the number of requests. No further storage or analysis takes place. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in protecting our systems from overload and misuse.

Location Inquiry

You can choose to perform the search based on your current location. Your browser will ask for your permission separately; no location data will be collected without your explicit consent. We use the transmitted coordinates exclusively once to calculate the search results. The data is not stored, combined with other data, or disclosed to third parties. The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG.

Data Transfer to the United States

Data transfers to the United States are based on the European Commission’s Adequacy Decision (EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework); Google is certified under the DPF. Standard contractual clauses are also in place. With regard to the use of Google Maps, Google acts in part as an independent data controller with respect to end-user data; in this respect, Google’s privacy policy applies.

You can find more information on the handling of user data in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Background Video

On certain pages of this website (currently in the “Fulfillment” section), we display a background video in the page header. This video is delivered via the streaming service “Mux.” The provider is Mux, Inc., 1 Letterman Drive, San Francisco, CA 94129, USA.

When the video is played, a connection is established with Mux’s servers. During this process, your IP address and technical information about your browser, operating system, and the page you are viewing are transmitted to Mux; this data may be processed in the United States. To play the video, a program library is also loaded via the content delivery network “jsDelivr” (Prospect One, Kraków, Poland), during which your IP address is also transmitted.

The video will not load until you have given your consent. Until you have given your consent, you will see a still image in place of the video. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG; you may revoke your consent at any time via the cookie settings on this website, effective for the future. To the extent that data is transferred to the United States in this context, the transfer is based on standard contractual clauses or—if the provider is certified—on the EU Commission’s adequacy decision (EU-US Data Privacy Framework).

For more information, please see the privacy policy of Mux:https://www.mux.com/privacyand that of jsDelivr:https://www.jsdelivr.com/terms/privacy-policy-jsdelivr-net.

Weglot (multilingual website)

7. Website Security and Technical Operations

Wordfence Security

To protect this website from attacks, malware, and automated access attempts, we use the security software “Wordfence.” The provider is Defiant, Inc., 1700 Westlake Ave N, Suite 200, Seattle, WA 98109, USA.

Wordfence is hosted entirely on our own web server. The software checks incoming traffic for typical attack patterns and logs security-related events. In particular, the following data is processed: your IP address, the time of access, the URL accessed, the transmitted browser identifier (user agent), and—in the case of login attempts to the protected area—the username used. Blocked or suspicious access attempts are stored for a limited period of time and then automatically deleted.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in defending against attacks on our IT systems and in ensuring the security of the data processed on this website.

No access data is transmitted to the provider's servers in the United States; the feature for determining the country of origin via Wordfence servers has been disabled.

Patchstack

To protect against known security vulnerabilities in the software we use, we utilize the “Patchstack” service. The provider is Patchstack OÜ, Sepapaja 6, 15551 Tallinn, Estonia.

Patchstack compares the software components used on this website and their version numbers against a vulnerability database and provides security rules. Technical information about the website is transmitted for this purpose; security-related access events may also be logged. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the secure operation of our website. The processing takes place within the European Union. We have a contract with the service provider regarding data processing on our behalf.

Maintenance, Updates, and Data Backup

We use external service providers and management tools for the technical maintenance of this website—in particular for updates, functionality tests, and the creation of backup copies. This includes the “ManageWP” service (GoDaddy.com, LLC, 2155 E GoDaddy Way, Tempe, AZ 85284, USA).

As part of maintenance and the creation of backup copies, data sets on this website that contain personal data (e.g., form submissions) may also be accessed for technical reasons. Such access occurs exclusively for the purposes of maintenance and data recovery, in accordance with specific instructions and based on relevant data processing agreements. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the secure, up-to-date, and trouble-free operation of this website. To the extent that data is transferred to the United States in this context, the transfer is based on standard contractual clauses or—if the service provider is certified—on the EU Commission’s adequacy decision (EU-US Data Privacy Framework).

Backup copies are retained for a limited period of time and are then automatically overwritten or deleted.

8. Processing of Data (Customer and Contract Data)

We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary to establish, define the terms of, or modify the legal relationship (master data). This is done in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process, and use personal data regarding the use of this website (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill the user for it.

The customer data collected will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

9. Social Media (Links)

On our website, you will find links to our Instagram and LinkedIn profiles. These are embedded as simple links (HTML links); no social media plugins or content from these networks is loaded directly onto our website. Therefore, simply visiting our website does not result in any data being transmitted to Instagram or LinkedIn.

Only when you click on one of these links will you be redirected to the respective platform, where the provider’s privacy policy applies:

We have no control over how these platforms process data after you leave our website.

10. Business Development and Business Relationships

As part of the process of establishing business relationships and during ongoing business relationships, we process personal data collected in the course of our communications. Depending on how contact is initiated, this includes, among other things, the following information:

  • Names, positions, and contact information of contact persons,
  • Tenure and company information,
  • Email addresses, phone and fax numbers,
  • Content of communications (e.g., from emails, letters, or meeting notes),
  • other information relevant to the initiation and processing of business transactions.

This data is processed for the following purposes:

  • to consider establishing a business relationship,
  • to ensure and verify compliance with contractual obligations.

This data is processed in accordance with Article 6(1), first sentence, subparagraph (b) of the GDPR, as it is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of precontractual measures taken at the request of the data subject.

In addition, data may be processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1), first sentence, subparagraph (f) of the GDPR, e.g., to enforce legal claims or to defend against legal claims. Personal data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of business purposes and there are no statutory or contractual retention obligations that prevent its deletion.

There is no legal obligation to provide personal data when initiating business relations. However, providing such data is necessary to ensure smooth communication and business transactions. If specific legal reporting requirements apply, we will notify you separately.
