In addition, your IP address is processed out of technical necessity and for legal protection. For the Chat, we use Ascend by Wix.

If you make a purchase your payment will be processed via our payment service provider Stripe or Klarna. Payment data will solely be processed through Stripe or Klarna and we have no access to any Payment Data you may submit.

Forum users can register on our website by providing personal and non-personal data (Username, E-mail address). The data is entered by the user in an input mask and transmitted to us and stored. In addition, the user's IP address and the date and time of registration are stored. Your data will be deleted after processing has been completed unless there is a legal basis for the processing of the data, and a further legal basis is the provision of a contract.

When users leave comments or other contributions in our forum or blog, their IP addresses are stored for 7 days on the basis of our legitimate interests. This is done for our security in case someone leaves unlawful content in comments and posts (insults, prohibited political propaganda, etc.). In this case, we ourselves can be prosecuted for the comment or post and are therefore interested in the identity of the author. 

Within the forum or blog you may be able to display certain profile information, share certain details, engage with others, exchange knowledge and insights, post and view relevant content. Content and data are publicly viewable. You have choices about the information on your comment.

Please do not post or add personal data to your profile that you would not want to be available. The legal basis for the storage is our legitimate interest.

14. Marketing 
Insofar as you have given us your separate consent to process your data for marketing and advertising purposes, we are entitled to contact you for these purposes via the communication channels you have given your consent to.

You may give us your consent in a number of ways including by selecting a box on a form where we seek your permission to send you marketing information, or sometimes your consent is implied from your interactions or contractual relationship with us. Where your consent is implied, it is on the basis that you would have a reasonable expectation of receiving a marketing communication based on your interactions or contractual relationship with us.

Direct Marketing generally takes the form of e-mail but may also include other less traditional or emerging channels. These forms of contact will be managed by us, or by our contracted service providers. Every directly addressed marketing sent or made by us or on our behalf will include a means by which you may unsubscribe or opt out.
