Legal basis for the processing of personal data
In the following we inform you about the legal basis of the processing of personal data:
- If we have obtained your consent to process personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DS-GVO is the legal basis.
- If the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken in response to your request, Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter b) DS-GVO is the legal basis.
- If the processing is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g. statutory retention obligations), Article 6 paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. c) DS-GVO is the legal basis.
- If the processing is necessary in order to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 lit. d) DS-GVO is the legal basis.
- If the processing is necessary to protect our interests or the legitimate interests of a third party and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not prevail in this respect, Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter f) DS-GVO is the legal basis.
Without your consent, we will not pass on any data to third parties. Should this be the case, however, the transfer will be made on the basis of the aforementioned legal bases, e.g. when data is passed on to online payment providers for the purpose of fulfilling a contract or due to a court order or due to a legal obligation to surrender the data for the purpose of criminal prosecution, to avert danger or to enforce intellectual property rights.
We also use contract processors (external service providers e.g. for web hosting of our websites and databases) to process your data. If data is passed on to the processors as part of an agreement for order processing, this is always done in accordance with Art. 28 DS-GVO. We select our processors carefully, check them regularly and have been granted the right to issue instructions regarding the data. In addition, the processors must have taken suitable technical and organizational measures and comply with the data protection regulations according to BDSG n.F. and DS-GVO.
Transfer of data to countries outside of the EU
The adoption of the European Data Protection Basic Regulation (DS-GVO) has created a uniform basis for data protection in Europe. Your data is therefore processed primarily by companies to which the DS-GVO applies. If, however, processing is carried out by services of third parties outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, they must comply with the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. DS-GVO.
This means that the processing is carried out on the basis of special guarantees, such as the EU Commission's officially recognized determination of a level of data protection corresponding to that of the EU or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations, the so-called "standard contractual clauses". In the case of US companies, submission to the so-called "privacy shield", the data protection agreement between the EU and the USA, fulfills these requirements.
Erasure of data and storage duration
Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the consent granted for processing is revoked by you or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies or the data is no longer required for the purpose, unless its further storage is required for evidence purposes or this is opposed by statutory storage obligations.
This includes, for example, commercial storage obligations for business letters according to § 257 para. 1 HGB (6 years) as well as tax storage obligations according to § 147 para. 1 AO of receipts (10 years). When the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted, unless the storage is still necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
Existence of automated decision making
We do not use automatic decision making or profiling.
Provision of our website and creation of log files
If you use our website for informational purposes only (i.e. no registration or other transmission of information), we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data:
- IP address
- Internet service provider of the user
- Date and time of the retrieval
- Browser type
- Language and browser version
- Content of the call
- Time zone
- Access status/HTTP status code
- Data volume
- Websites from which the request comes
- Operating system
The legal basis for this is our justified interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 S.1 lit. f) DS-GVO, which is also based on the above purposes.
For security reasons, we store this data in server log files for the storage period of days. After this period has elapsed, they are automatically deleted, unless we require their storage for evidence purposes in the event of attacks on the server infrastructure or other legal violations.

Cookie Consent Solutions / Consent Manager Provider:
We have implemented the CookieBot (service provider: Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark / Website: https://www.cookiebot.com ) integrated as consent management service.
Data categories and description of data processing:
cookies, date and time of visit, device information, browser information, anonymized IP address, opt-in and opt-out data. This service enables us to obtain your consent to the storage of cookies and to document this consent. In addition, a cookie is stored in your browser for this purpose in order to be able to assign the consent you have given or to be able to revoke it. Below you will find further information in the data protection declaration of the data processor Cybot A/S (https://www.cookiebot.com/de/privacy-policy).
Purposes of data processing:
compliance with legal obligations, storage of consent.
Legal basis:
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is our legitimate interest in the above-mentioned purposes in accordance with Art. 6 paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO and the fulfillment of legal obligations in accordance with Art. 6 paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. c) DS-GVO.
Storage duration:
Storage of the data until you delete the CookieBot-Cookie in your browser yourself or the purpose for the data storage no longer applies. The revocation document of a previously granted consent is kept for a period of three years. The storage is based on our accountability according to article 5 paragraph 2 DSGVO.
Data transmission/recipient category:
The consent management service we use is a provider in Europe. We have therefore concluded a contract for order processing with the data processor in accordance with Art. 28 DS-GVO.
Contract management
We process inventory data (e.g. company, title/academic degree, names and addresses as well as contact data of users, e-mail), contract data (e.g. services used, names of contact persons) and payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history) for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations (knowing who is the contractual partner; justification, content and processing of the contract; checking the plausibility of the data) and services (e.g. contacting customer service) in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit b) DS-GVO. The entries marked as obligatory in online forms are required for the conclusion of the contract.
In principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties, unless it is necessary to pursue our claims (e.g. transfer to a lawyer for collection) or to fulfill the contract (e.g. transfer of the data to payment providers) or if there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. c) DS-GVO.
We may also process the data you provide in order to inform you about other interesting products from our portfolio or to send you e-mails with technical information.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were collected. This is the case for the inventory and contract data when the data is no longer necessary for the execution of the contract and no more claims can be asserted under the contract because they are time-barred (warranty: two years / standard limitation period: three years). We are obliged by commercial and tax law to store your address, payment and order data for a period of ten years. However, if the contract is terminated after three years, we will restrict processing, i.e. your data will only be used to comply with legal obligations. Details in the user account remain until it is deleted.
Contact via contact form / e-mail / fax / mail
1) If you contact us by contact form, fax, post or email, your data will be processed for the purpose of processing your contact request.

4) If you use our contact form, Hubspot will process data and provide it to LOOM Impact with personal information (especially name/email address) on the basis of consent given, thus collecting personal data and informing users individually and in a targeted manner about preferred subject areas.

Further information on how Hubspot works can be found in the privacy policy of Hubspot Inc. which can be found at https://legal.hubspot.com/de/privacy-policy.
6) The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO, if you have given your consent. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of a contact inquiry or email, letter or fax is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 S. 1 letter f) DS-GVO. The person responsible has a legitimate interest in the processing and storage of the data in order to be able to respond to user inquiries, to secure evidence for liability reasons and, if necessary, tobe able to comply with his or her legal obligations to retain business letters. If the purpose of the contact is the conclusion of a contract, an additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) DS-GVO.
7) We may store your information and contact request in our customer relationship management system (“CRM system”) or similar system.
8) The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose of their collection. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with you has ended. The conversation ends when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified. Inquiries from users who have an account or a contract with us will be stored for a period of two years after termination of the contract. In the case of legal archiving obligations, deletion takes place after their expiry: end of commercial law (6 years) and tax law (10 years) retention obligation.
9) You have the option of withdrawing your consent to the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 S. 1 lit. a)DS-GVO at any time. If you contact us by email, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time.
Contact by phone
When contacting us by telephone, your telephone number is processed and temporarily stored or displayed in the RAM / cache of the telephone set / display for the purpose of processing the contact request and its handling. The storage is done for liability and security reasons, in order to be able to prove the call, and for economic reasons, in order to enable a call back. In case of unauthorized advertising calls, we block the phone numbers.
The legal basis for the processing of the telephone number is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) of the DS-GVO. If the contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6 (1) (b) DS-GVO.
The device cache stores the calls for days and successively overwrites or deletes old data; when the device is disposed of, all data is deleted and the memory destroyed if necessary. Blocked telephone numbers are checked annually to see if they need to be blocked.
You can prevent the phone number from being displayed by calling with the phone number suppressed.

5) We evaluate your user behavior when sending the newsletter. For this purpose, the newsletters contain so-called “web beacons” or “tracking pixels”, which are called up when the newsletter is opened. For the analysis we link the web beacons with your email address and an individual ID. Links received in the newsletter also contain this ID. The data is collected pseudonymously, so the IDs are not linked to your otherpersonal data, a direct personal reference is excluded.

This serves the purpose of optimizing and statistically evaluating our newsletter.
