2. In brief

3. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by Netlify, Inc., 101 2nd Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA. When you visit the website, the host processes technically necessary data, in particular IP address, date and time of access, page requested, browser type and operating system. This data is used to provide the website securely and reliably. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the secure operation of the website.

A data processing agreement is in place with Netlify. Transfers to the USA are based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where the provider is certified, and additionally on EU standard contractual clauses.

4. Contact form

If you use the contact form, we process the details you provide (name, business, email address, optional phone number, type of business, topic and message) in order to answer your enquiry. The form data is received by our host Netlify's form service and forwarded to us.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to a contract or pre-contractual measures, and otherwise Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We delete your data once your enquiry has been fully dealt with, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

5. Contact by email or phone

If you contact us by email or phone, we process your details to handle your enquiry. Our email account is operated by STRATO GmbH, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) or (f) GDPR.

6. Contact via WhatsApp

If you contact us via WhatsApp, your message and phone number are processed by WhatsApp Ireland Limited. Please only use this channel if you agree to processing by the provider, and do not send confidential documents this way. You can also reach us by email or phone.

7. Downloads

The free guides can be downloaded without registration and without providing any data. Only the server log files described in section 3 are generated.

7a. Orders

If you order a paid product, we process your name, address, company and VAT number where applicable, email address and order and payment details to perform the contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and to meet statutory retention obligations (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with section 147 of the German Fiscal Code and section 257 of the German Commercial Code, usually 8 to 10 years). If you buy through a payment provider acting as reseller, that provider processes order and payment data as an independent controller, and its privacy policy also applies.

7b. Purchases through Paddle

To sell the Costing Kit we use Paddle.com Market Limited, Judd House, 18–29 Mora Street, London EC1V 8BT, United Kingdom, as our online reseller (Merchant of Record). Paddle's script (cdn.paddle.com) is loaded only when you click “Continue to secure payment” on the purchase page, at which point your IP address and technical data are transmitted to Paddle. In the checkout, Paddle collects the data needed for the purchase, payment, invoicing and fraud prevention as an independent controller (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). We receive the order data from Paddle in order to deliver the file. Paddle's privacy policy: paddle.com/legal/privacy. Transfers to the United Kingdom are covered by an EU adequacy decision.

8. Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21 GDPR). Simply contact business@bauchfood.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for us is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
