Privacy Policy

We take your data protection seriously. This statement informs you about which personal data we collect, on what legal basis the processing takes place, how long we store the data, and what rights you have under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Data Controller: Blocksize One UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Oberstr. 3, 47829 Krefeld, Germany. E-Mail: [email protected].

A data protection officer has not been appointed, as the requirements under Art. 37 GDPR do not apply.

Contact Form (Formspree)

When you use our contact form, we collect your name, e-mail address, company size and your description of your greatest challenge. This data is processed by Formspree, Inc. (USA) and forwarded by e-mail to our mailbox hosted on Google Workspace. We use this information exclusively to respond to your inquiry.

Transmission takes place only after your express consent via the data protection checkbox in the form.

Legal Basis: Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent) and Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures at your request).
Storage Period: Inquiry data is deleted within 6 months of the last response, provided no business relationship is established.
Data Processor: Formspree, Inc. (USA), on the basis of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). See Formspree Privacy Policy.

AI Checklist & Newsletter (Resend)

When you request the AI checklist via the sign-up form, we collect your e-mail address and record the time of your consent. Immediately afterwards, we send you a confirmation e-mail (double opt-in) with a personal confirmation link. Only after you click this link do we add you to our e-mail distribution list and forward you to the checklist.

E-mail delivery and list management take place via Resend (Resend, Inc., 2261 Market Street #5039, San Francisco, CA 94114, USA). Your data is processed and stored in the Europe region (eu-west-1). We use updates.ki-kollege.net as the sender domain.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending an informal message to [email protected] or by using the unsubscribe link in every e-mail. The withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out up to that point.

Legal Basis: Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent) in conjunction with § 7 (2) No. 3 UWG (German Act Against Unfair Competition).
Storage Period: Your e-mail address is stored until you withdraw your consent. Unconfirmed sign-ups (no click on the confirmation link within 48 hours) are automatically discarded.

E-Mail & Business Communication (Google Workspace)

We use Google Workspace (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) for e-mail and business communication. When you contact us by e-mail or via the contact form, your message and the associated data (name, e-mail address, message content) are stored and processed in Google Workspace.

Legal Basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in efficient business communication).
Storage Period: E-mails are retained for the duration of the business relationship. Business correspondence is subject to statutory retention periods of up to 10 years pursuant to § 257 HGB (German Commercial Code) and § 147 AO (German Fiscal Code) and is deleted after the respective retention period expires.
Data Processor: Google Ireland Limited (EU), on the basis of the Google Cloud Data Processing Addendum. See Google Privacy Policy.

Contact via Telegram

As an alternative means of contact, we offer the messenger service Telegram (operator: Telegram FZ-LLC, Dubai, United Arab Emirates). When you contact us via Telegram, your message, user ID and possibly your telephone number are processed by the Telegram service. The data processing takes place outside the EU in a third country without an adequacy decision. We have no influence on the data processing carried out by Telegram. Please therefore do not transmit any sensitive personal data to us via Telegram.

Legal Basis: Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent through active contact) and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in indirect communication).
Storage Period: The chat history is deleted after the inquiry or the business relationship has concluded, insofar as no statutory retention periods apply.
Third-Country Transfer: Processing in the UAE without an adequacy decision under Art. 45 GDPR. See Telegram Privacy Policy.

Server-side logged data includes in particular: IP address, date and time of access, requested URL, referrer URL, user agent (browser and operating system) and the status code of the request. This data is not merged with other data sources and is not evaluated for analytical purposes.

Legal Basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure and efficient provision of the website).
Storage Period: Server logs are stored by Cloudflare for up to 72 hours.

International Data Transfer

Some of the third-party providers named above are based in the USA.
