General Information and Mandatory Disclosures

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

CALA Technologies GmbH
Managing Director Michael Tschakert

The controller determines, either alone or jointly with others, the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, contact details).

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Certain data processing activities are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw your previously granted consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient to withdraw your consent. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

The competent supervisory authority for data protection matters is the Data Protection Commissioner of the federal state in which our company is based.

The following link provides a list of data protection authorities and their contact details: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, or to have this data transferred to a third party.

The data will be provided in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.

Right to Access, Rectification, Restriction, and Erasure

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information about your stored personal data free of charge at any time, including its origin, recipients, and the purpose of processing. Where applicable, you also have the right to request the rectification, restriction, or erasure of this data.

For these matters or any further questions concerning personal data, you may contact us at any time using the contact details provided in our legal notice.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information that you send to us as the website operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption.

This prevents third parties from reading data transmitted through this website. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" prefix in your browser's address bar and the padlock icon displayed in the browser.

Contact Form

Data submitted through our contact form, including your contact details, is stored to process your inquiry and respond to any follow-up questions. This data will not be shared without your consent.

The processing of data entered into the contact form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw your previously granted consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient. The lawfulness of processing activities carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Data submitted through the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory provisions, particularly retention periods, remain unaffected.

As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically reliable and smooth delivery of our services. If other cookies are used (e.g. for analytics purposes), they are addressed separately in this Privacy Policy.

Google Analytics

Nature and Scope of Processing

We use Google Analytics, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, to statistically analyze our online services.

We intend to transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area, particularly the United States.

Where no adequacy decision by the European Commission exists (e.g. in the United States), we have agreed on other appropriate safeguards with the recipients of the data in accordance with Art. 44 et seq. GDPR.

Unless otherwise specified, these safeguards consist of the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses pursuant to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of June 4, 2021.

Please note that transfers to third countries may involve risks that cannot be fully assessed. These may include, for example, the processing of data by security authorities in the respective third country. We may not know the exact scope or consequences of such processing, have no influence over it, and you may not be informed that it has taken place.
