1. Website hosting
Our website is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany. Website requests involve technically necessary information, including IP address, access time, requested pages or files, response status, browser and operating system information.
These data enable delivery of the website, identification of technical faults and protection against misuse. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure and reliable operation of our website.
Further information: ALL-INKL.COM privacy information.
2. Cookies and website functions
2.1 Consent management with CookieYes
We use CookieYes, provided by CookieYes Limited, United Kingdom, to manage your choices in the cookie banner. This involves your consent or refusal, an associated identifier and technical information needed to document your choice. CookieYes infrastructure delivers the banner and its components.
Managing and recording your choices helps us meet our legal accountability obligations under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Where storing or reading your selection on your device is strictly necessary for this function, section 25(2)(2) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG) applies. Non-essential access to your device generally requires consent under section 25(1) TDDDG; the related processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
You can reopen and change your preferences using the cookie settings symbol at the edge of the screen. Withdrawal takes effect for the future. You can also delete previously stored cookies in your browser.
Further information: CookieYes privacy policy.
2.2 Contact form
You can send us your name, email address and message through our contact form. Technical information necessary for transmission and abuse prevention is also processed. Forms are provided through WPForms on our WordPress website.
We use this information to handle and answer your enquiry. Article 6(1)(b) GDPR applies to contractual enquiries and steps before entering a contract. Other enquiries are handled under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in answering incoming requests appropriately. Without information marked as required, we may be unable to process your request.
2.3 Newsletters for business contacts
We send information about our products and services to business contacts. Technical processing and automation use our own n8n server instance hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Europe. Data include email addresses, names and company associations where applicable, and contact information needed for delivery.
Consent-based newsletters rely on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. A business relationship alone does not replace consent to marketing emails. Sending such emails without separate consent is only possible where all conditions of section 7(3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG) are met: obtaining the email address in connection with a sale, advertising only our own similar products or services, no objection, and clear notice of the right to object when the address is collected and with each use. In that case, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR may provide the data protection basis.
You can withdraw consent or object to direct marketing at any time by emailing datenschutz@cunnect.de. No charges other than basic transmission costs apply. You do not need to give a reason for an objection to direct marketing.
2.4 Job applications
If you apply through our application form or by email, we process your contact details, qualifications, professional history and application documents to conduct the recruitment process. Access is available to the people involved in that process.
The legal basis is, in particular, section 26(1) of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) for decisions about entering an employment relationship. Where separate consent is required, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR applies. Please submit only information and documents needed for your application.
3. Embedded services
3.1 Google Fonts
We use fonts, including Google Fonts, for a consistent website appearance. The font files used are delivered locally through our website. Accessing these local files involves normal technical access data processed by our website host; this does not itself require a request to Google’s font servers.
3.2 Font Awesome
We use Font Awesome to display icons. The Font Awesome files used are delivered locally through our website, involving normal technical access data at our website host. Product provider information: Font Awesome privacy information.
3.3 Google Maps
Our contact page includes a Google Maps map to show our location and help you plan your journey. Loading it may transmit your IP address, device information and the page requested to Google. Information entered when using additional map features is also processed by Google.
Where consent is required, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and section 25(1) TDDDG apply. Further information: Google privacy policy.
3.4 Cloudflare Turnstile
We use Cloudflare Turnstile, provided by Cloudflare, Inc., USA, to protect forms against automated submissions and misuse. Turnstile evaluates technical signals to distinguish human visitors from automated traffic. These may include IP address, browser and device information and interaction signals. Its purpose is bot protection, rather than improving website loading speed.
Our interest in preventing spam and automated misuse supports processing under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR where processing without consent is permissible. Device access requiring consent is subject to section 25(1) TDDDG. Further information: Turnstile-specific privacy information.
3.5 Google reviews and Trustindex
Some pages display published Google reviews through the Trustindex WordPress plugin. Displayed information includes publicly published names, review content and profile pictures where available. Loading external images or widget resources may disclose technical access data, including your IP address, to the relevant providers.
Our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR is to present feedback about our services. Where a particular integration requires consent, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR applies. Provider information: Trustindex and Google.
4. Website analytics and technical WordPress services
4.1 Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, integrated through Site Kit, to evaluate website use. Data may include pages visited, interactions, referral sources, device and browser information. Cookies and similar identifiers can associate repeat visits. Google may also process data outside the European Union.
Consent-based analytics rely on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and, for relevant device access, section 25(1) TDDDG. You can change your selection through the cookie settings. Further information: Google privacy policy.
4.2 Jetpack and statistics
Jetpack, provided by Automattic, is integrated for technical WordPress functions and website statistics. Depending on the function, data include IP address, pages requested, time, referrer, device and browser information. Resources delivered through WordPress.com may also receive technical access data.
Processing necessary to provide a secure and functioning website may rely on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Analytics requiring consent are subject to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and, where applicable, section 25(1) TDDDG. Further information: Automattic privacy notice for website visitors.
5. Case management, ERP and accounting
5.1 Atlassian Jira
We use Atlassian services, particularly Jira, to handle enquiries, support requests and projects. Data may include contact details, case content, communication history, project information and attachments you provide.

Provider: Atlassian Pty Ltd, Level 6, 341 George Street, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia. Current provider information: Atlassian privacy policy.
5.2 MOCO ERP
We use MOCO as our ERP system to organise business relationships and projects. We process information needed for customer administration, project delivery and commercial organisation. This may include the names and business contact details of contact persons and information relating to orders and projects.
Article 6(1)(b) GDPR applies where processing is necessary to perform a contract or take pre-contractual steps. For information about contacts at our business customers and internal organisation, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR applies; our legitimate interest is the orderly and efficient handling of business relationships.

We use Lexware for accounting. This involves personal data contained in invoices, supporting documents and business transactions, such as names, billing addresses, contact details and payment information, where needed for the transaction.
Processing serves the commercial administration of contracts under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and compliance with legal accounting and documentation obligations under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Further product information: Lexware privacy information.
6. Social media
We maintain company profiles on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. When you visit these profiles or contact us there, we process the content you provide and publicly available profile information to answer enquiries and communicate about our company.
Depending on your enquiry, Article 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR applies. Our legitimate interest is informing people about our business and communicating with prospective and existing customers. Platform operators also process data under their own responsibility, particularly for platform operation and usage analytics. Their privacy notices explain those activities.
7. Communication
7.1 Email and telephone
When you contact us by email or telephone, we process your contact information and enquiry content to respond, perform a contract or take pre-contractual steps under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Other enquiries are handled under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in appropriate communication.
7.2 WhatsApp
You can also contact us through WhatsApp. Data include telephone number, profile information and messages you send. WhatsApp additionally processes technical usage and connection information under its own privacy notice. Email and telephone are available as alternatives.

7.3 3CX live chat and calling
Our website offers a chat and calling function through 3CX.

The purpose is to conduct business meetings and collaborate with customers, prospective customers and business partners.
Contract-related meetings rely on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Other business discussions rely on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is efficient communication and collaboration. Where separate consent is required, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR applies.
Further information: 3CX WebMeeting privacy information.
9. Recipients and international processing
Depending on the matter, necessary data may be available to responsible people within our company and to hosting, IT, communication and other service providers. Legally authorised bodies may also receive data. Relevant services are identified in the preceding sections.
International providers may process data outside the EU or European Economic Area. Such transfers are additionally subject to Articles 44 et seq. GDPR. Depending on the recipient and processing, an applicable adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses may be relevant. A European server region does not automatically rule out other international processing by a provider. You can request information about the transfer grounds relevant to a particular processing activity at datenschutz@cunnect.de.
