Responsible Entity

The party responsible for data processing on this website is:

Iridium Works GmbH
Moselweißer Straße 4
56073 Koblenz, Germany

Lucas Weiper

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

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Certain data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke your consent at any time. A simple email notice is sufficient for revocation. The legality of data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

If you believe your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority. The competent authority for data protection matters is the Data Protection Officer of the federal state where our company is headquartered. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found here: www.bfdi.bund.de

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to request the data we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract to be handed over to you or to a third party. The data will be provided in a machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer to another controller, this will only be done if technically feasible.

Right of Access, Rectification, Blocking, Erasure

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing. You also have the right to request correction, blocking, or deletion of your data. For this and other questions on the topic of personal data, you can contact us at any time using the contact details provided in the imprint.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” in your browser's address line and the lock symbol in the browser bar. This ensures that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Our website may contain links to external websites operated by third parties. Please be advised that we have no control over the content or privacy practices of such third-party websites and cannot assume any responsibility or liability for their respective policies or the processing of personal data carried out by them. The inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement of the linked site. We recommend that users review the applicable privacy policies of any third-party websites they visit before disclosing personal data.

• Visited page on our domain
• Date and time of the server request
• Browser type and version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL

This data will not be combined with data from other sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Data Transfer on Contract Conclusion for Purchase and Shipping of Goods

Personal data will only be transmitted to third parties if it is necessary in the context of contract processing. Third parties may include payment service providers or logistics companies.
No further transmission of data will take place unless you have explicitly consented to it.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Registration on This Website

To use certain functions of this website, you can register an account. The data submitted during registration is used solely for the purpose of using the respective service or feature. All mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full; otherwise, registration will be rejected.

In the event of important changes, such as technical updates, we may use the email address provided at registration to inform you.

The processing of the registration data is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent at any time by sending us an informal message via email. The legality of the data processing carried out prior to revocation remains unaffected.

We store the data collected during registration for the duration of your registration on the website. Your data will be deleted if you cancel your registration. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

Contact Form

Data submitted via the contact form, including your contact details, will be stored in order to process your request or to respond to follow-up questions. This data will not be shared without your consent.

When you submit information through our contact forms (powered by Webflow), we collect the data you provide, including your full name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is processed exclusively for the purpose of responding to your inquiry and, where applicable, for the initiation of pre-contractual or contractual communications in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Please note that the form submissions are technically processed by Webflow, Inc. as a service provider, which may involve the transfer and temporary storage of your data on Webflow’s servers. Webflow acts as an independent third party with its own privacy practices, over which we have no control. Further information about how Webflow processes personal data can be found in Webflow’s own Privacy Policy.

We will retain the data you provide via the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data retention no longer applies. Mandatory legal provisions—especially retention periods—remain unaffected.

Storage of Comments and Posts

When you leave comments or posts on this website, the corresponding data—such as your IP address—may be stored. The content remains on the website until it has been completely deleted or must be deleted for legal reasons.

The storage of comments and associated data is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time via an informal email message. The legality of data processing carried out before revocation remains unaffected.

Subscribing to Comments

As a user, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address. You can unsubscribe from comment notifications at any time using the link included in the subscription emails.

The data provided during the subscription will be deleted upon cancellation. If you have submitted this data to us for other purposes elsewhere, it will remain with us.

Newsletter Data

To send you our newsletter, we need your email address. A verification process is required to confirm that you are the owner of the provided email address and consent to receiving the newsletter. No further data is collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the newsletter.

The data you provide during newsletter registration is processed based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time—either by sending an informal email or by using the “unsubscribe” link included in every newsletter. The legality of any data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data submitted for newsletter subscription will be deleted upon unsubscribing. If this data has been provided to us for other purposes and elsewhere, it will remain with us.

YouTube

This website uses plugins from YouTube for integrating and displaying video content. The provider of the video platform is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

When you visit a page that includes a YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. This informs YouTube which of our pages you have visited.

If you're logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.

The use of YouTube serves the purpose of providing an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest as defined in Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

For details on how YouTube handles user data, please refer to their privacy policy.

Social Media Plugins

We currently use the following social media plugins: [Facebook, Google+, Xing, LinkedIn]. We use what is known as the two-click solution (or a technically equivalent method). This means that when you visit our website, no personal data is initially transmitted to the providers of these plugins.

You can recognize the plugin provider by the initial or logo displayed on the plugin box. We give you the option to communicate directly with the plugin provider via a button. Only when you click on the marked field to activate it will the plugin provider be informed that you accessed the corresponding page of our online offering. The data collected during your visit to our site is then transmitted as well.

According to the providers, in the case of Facebook and Xing, the IP address is anonymized immediately after collection in Germany.

By activating the plugin, personal data may be transmitted to the respective plugin provider and stored there (in the case of US providers, possibly in the USA). Since the plugin provider collects data mainly via cookies, we recommend deleting all cookies in your browser before clicking on the plugin.

We have no influence over the data collected or the data processing operations, nor do we know the full scope of data collection, the purposes of the processing, or the retention periods. We also have no information about the deletion of the collected data by the plugin provider.

The plugin provider stores your data as user profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or the customized design of their website. Such analysis is carried out even for users who are not logged in, and especially to deliver personalized advertising and inform other users of the social network about your activity.

You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right, you must contact the plugin provider.

Through the plugins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users, which helps us improve our services and make them more interesting for you.

The legal basis for using plugins is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in marketing and usability. If you give your consent by clicking the plugin, the legal basis becomes Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

The data transmission occurs regardless of whether you have an account with the plugin provider or are logged in. If you are logged in, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you click the activated button—for example, to share content—the plugin provider will also store this in your profile and may publicly share it with your contacts.

We recommend logging out of your social network accounts after using them, especially before activating social media plugin buttons, to avoid linking your browsing behavior with your profile.

Facebook Pixel

We use the Facebook Pixel on our website. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in optimizing our advertising and marketing strategies.

Your data may be transmitted to Facebook Inc., which complies with the EU–US Privacy Shield. Details about the purpose and functionality of the Facebook Pixel can be found on the linked pages in Facebook’s documentation.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure.

Some cookies are called “session cookies.” These are automatically deleted after your browser session ends. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize you when you return to our website.

You can monitor, restrict, or disable the setting of cookies using a modern web browser. Many browsers can be configured to automatically delete cookies when the program is closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

Cookies that are required for the performance of electronic communications or for certain functions you wish to use (e.g., shopping cart) are stored in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and smooth delivery of our services.

Where other cookies are set (e.g., for analytics), they are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service that uses cookies to analyze your use of the website and help us continuously improve and optimize our offering.

If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the U.S. This website uses Google Analytics with the extension _anonymizeIp(). This means that IP addresses are processed in a truncated form, eliminating any direct link to an individual.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide us with further services related to website and internet use.

The IP address transmitted by your browser through Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser accordingly; however, doing so may limit the functionality of the website. You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the following browser plugin: Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on

Alternatively, you can click this link to set an opt-out cookie:
Deactivate Google Analytics
This opt-out cookie prevents the collection of your data during future visits to our site.

The use of Google Analytics is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in optimizing and marketing our services. If you have given your consent, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Further information can be found in Google’s privacy policy.

Google Maps

To provide interactive maps, we use Google Maps, a service by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

For privacy reasons, Google Maps is initially deactivated on our website. A direct connection to Google’s servers is only established if you actively click the map and consent to its use.

Once activated, Google Maps loads and your IP address and possibly additional data are transmitted to Google. This may also include a transfer of personal data to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

The use of Google Maps is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to provide a user-friendly display of our services and help visitors find locations featured on the site.

You can find more information about how Google handles your data in their privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Google Translate

We use Google Translate on our website to offer convenient multilingual access to our content. When you activate Google Translate, a cookie is set to remember your chosen language. This cookie is typically deleted when you close your browser, though you can also prevent it from being set by adjusting your browser settings.

While using Google Translate, Google processes information about you—such as your language selection and browsing behavior. You can prevent this processing by using our website only in German. No data is transferred to Google until you switch to a different language.

The use of Google Translate is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, with our legitimate interest being to improve accessibility and usability. If you activate another language, this constitutes consent, and the legal basis becomes Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Google Web Fonts

For consistent and visually appealing typography across all browsers, this site uses Google Web Fonts, a service provided by Google.

When you visit a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its cache to display text properly. To do this, your browser needs to connect to Google’s servers, which may involve transmitting your IP address. This lets Google know that your IP address accessed our website.

The use of Google Web Fonts is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in ensuring a consistent and user-friendly appearance of our website.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use Google reCAPTCHA to verify that input on our website is made by a human and not an automated process. This helps protect our website from spam and abuse.

In this process, your IP address and other required data may be transmitted to Google. The use of Google reCAPTCHA is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure and functional operation of our online services.

Google Ads (formerly AdWords)

We use Google Ads to promote our services on external websites. This allows us to measure the success of our advertising campaigns and improve the relevance of the ads we display.

Google delivers these ads via “Ad Servers.” Cookies are used to measure performance metrics such as ad impressions or user clicks. If you reach our website via a Google ad, a cookie is stored on your device. These cookies generally expire after 30 days and are not intended to personally identify you. They typically store the following information:

• Unique cookie ID
• Number of ad impressions
• Last impression (important for post-view conversions)
• Opt-out information

These cookies enable Google to recognize your browser. If a user visits certain pages on our website while the cookie is still valid, Google and we can determine that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected.

Each Google Ads client receives a unique cookie, preventing cookies from being tracked across different clients' websites. We do not collect or process personal data ourselves. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google, which help us identify which ads are effective.

Google may associate your visit with your Google account. Even if you are not logged in, Google may collect and store your IP address.

You can prevent participation in tracking via several methods:

• Adjust your browser settings to block third-party cookies.
• Disable conversion tracking cookies by blocking cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com in your browser.
• Opt out of interest-based ads from participating advertisers via www.aboutads.info/choices.
• Permanently disable tracking by using Google’s browser plugin: www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin

Note: Disabling tracking may limit some website functionality.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the marketing and optimization purposes mentioned above.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display ads tailored to your interests. This helps make our website more engaging and relevant for users.

Google collects statistical information that may include web beacons and cookies. These allow Google to recognize your browser and gather data such as:

• Your visit to our site
• Your IP address
• Information about your device and browser

If you’re logged into your Google account, this data may be associated with it. You can prevent this by logging out before visiting our site.

We have no influence on the data collected or its subsequent use by Google. Your data may be transmitted to the USA and shared with third parties or authorities.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in providing relevant advertising content and generating revenue. You can prevent AdSense cookies similarly to Google Ads (see above).

Matomo (formerly Piwik)

We use Matomo, an open-source web analytics platform, to analyze how our website is used.

Matomo uses cookies—small text files stored on your device. The data collected by these cookies is stored on our own server. Before storage, your IP address is anonymized.

Matomo cookies remain on your device until you delete them. We do not share the collected data with third parties.

The use of Matomo is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is in anonymized user behavior analysis to improve our website and content.

You can prevent the setting of cookies in your browser. However, doing so may limit the functionality of our website.

You can also opt out of Matomo tracking here, which will set an opt-out cookie. Note that if you delete your cookies, this opt-out must be set again.
