Overview

This website does not set cookies, does not use analytics or tracking services and does not embed content from third parties. Fonts and images are delivered from the same server as the website itself.

We only process personal data to the extent necessary to operate the website, to maintain the interest list and to reply to your messages. We do not sell data, do not pass it on for advertising purposes and do not make automated decisions within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.

Hosting

The website runs on a server operated by STRATO GmbH, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany, in a data centre in Germany. STRATO processes the data solely on our behalf and according to our instructions. We have concluded a data processing agreement with STRATO pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

Server log files

Each time the website is accessed, the server automatically records:

  • IP address
  • date and time
  • requested address and type of request
  • status code and amount of data transferred
  • the previously visited page (referrer), if your browser sends it
  • browser and operating system (user agent)

We need this data to deliver the website securely, to find errors and to fend off attacks. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is a stable and secure operation.

The log files are deleted automatically after 15 days at the latest. We only keep them longer if we need them to investigate a specific security incident. We do not combine them with other data and do not use them to create user profiles.

Encryption

The website and everything you enter in the form are transmitted exclusively in encrypted form (TLS). Requests to an unencrypted address are automatically redirected to the encrypted one.

Interest list

When you sign up for the interest list, we store your name, your email address, your phone number, the time of your registration and the language version you used to register.

We use this information solely to contact you about CaseGround by email or phone, for example when there is news or when access is ready for you. The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, which you give by submitting the form.

Providing this information is voluntary. Without your name, email address and phone number, however, we cannot add you to the list. We accept each email address only once.

The list is stored on our server at STRATO and is only retrieved via an encrypted connection. We do not pass your information on to third parties and do not use it for any other purpose.

We delete your information as soon as you withdraw your consent or we no longer need the interest list, at the latest two years after your registration.

Withdrawal: You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, most easily by email to info@caseground.de. Processing carried out before the withdrawal remains lawful.

Protection against misuse

The form contains a field that is invisible to humans and lets us recognise automated entries. To prevent anyone from filling the list in bulk, the server accepts at most five registrations per IP address within ten minutes. For this purpose it keeps the IP address in memory only and discards it ten minutes after the last registration. The IP address is not stored with your information. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is protecting the list against misuse.

Contact by email

When you write to us, we process your email address, your message and the information it contains in order to answer your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry relates to a contract or its preparation, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is answering your enquiry.

Our mailbox is hosted on Microsoft 365. The provider is Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Microsoft pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. The mailbox data is stored in data centres in the EU.

Access from the United States, for example for maintenance and support, cannot be ruled out. Microsoft is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Transfers to certified companies are covered by an adequacy decision of the European Commission (Art. 45 GDPR). In addition, Microsoft has agreed to the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR).

We delete your message once your enquiry has been dealt with, unless statutory retention obligations apply. We keep business correspondence for six years in accordance with § 257 HGB and § 147 AO (German Commercial Code and Fiscal Code).

Storage in your browser

This website does not set cookies. It only stores two small entries in your browser’s storage, which are not transmitted to us:

  • “sprache” in local storage remembers which language version you chose. The entry remains until you delete it in your browser.
  • “cg-intro” in session storage ensures that the opening animation also plays after the automatic redirect to the German version. The entry is deleted on the next page load, at the latest when you close the tab.

Both entries are strictly necessary to display the website as you requested (§ 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG, German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act). The website checks your browser’s preferred language and whether you came from another page of this website only within your browser. This is how it directs you to the matching language version and shows the opening animation only on your first visit and when you reload. This information is not stored.

Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) and data portability (Art. 20 GDPR). You can withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR). To do so, simply write to info@caseground.de.

Right to object: Where we process data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority responsible for us is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia (LDI NRW), Kavalleriestraße 2–4, 40213 Düsseldorf, Germany.
