Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke any consent you have already given at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you lodge an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. This right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive the data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format, either for yourself or for transfer to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out to the extent that it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address line from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Encrypted Payment Transactions on This Website
If, after the conclusion of a paid contract, there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g., account number for direct debit authorization), this data is required for payment processing. Payment transactions using common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address line from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar. With encrypted communication, the payment data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Access, Deletion, and Correction
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time at the addresses provided in the website’s legal notice (imprint) or at the addresses listed above in section 3.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice (imprint). The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
Objection to Advertising Emails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of the legal notice (imprint) obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials.

4. Data Collection on This Website
Cookies
Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser. In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you enter our website (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services provided by the third-party company (e.g., cookies for processing payment services). Cookies have different functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or display advertising. Cookies that are required for carrying out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or for providing certain functions requested by you (functional cookies, e.g., for the shopping cart function) or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the relevant cookies are stored exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); consent may be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, block the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Please note that disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. If cookies from third-party companies or for analytical purposes are used, we will inform you separately about this within the scope of this privacy policy and, if necessary, request your consent.

When you visit our website, a Borlabs cookie is stored in your browser in which the consents you have given or the revocation of these consents are recorded. These data are not shared with the provider of Borlabs Cookie. The collected data are stored until you request their deletion from us, delete the Borlabs cookie yourself, or the purpose of data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. Details on the data processing by Borlabs Cookie can be found at https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/. The use of Borlabs Cookie consent technology is intended to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1) sentence 1(c) GDPR.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share these data without your consent.

In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this was obtained. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—particularly retention periods—remain unaffected.
Inquiries via Email, Telephone, or Fax

5. Analysis Tools and Advertising
Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager on our website, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Tag Manager enables the management of website tags through a single interface. The Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) does not process any personal data of users, according to Google. However, the service triggers other tags that may themselves collect and process data.
When you access our website, personal data such as your IP address and other device-related information may be transmitted to and stored on Google’s servers. Google may also process this data for its own purposes. Data may be transferred to the United States. We have no control over this data transmission. Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
The use of Google Tag Manager and the associated data processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by accessing the cookie settings and disabling the relevant services. For more information on data protection at Google, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 on our website, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of how visitors use our website. The information collected by means of these cookies about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on Google servers in the United States. Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. In Google Analytics 4, IP address anonymization is enabled by default. Due to IP anonymization, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
During your visit to our website, your user behavior is recorded. This includes, in particular, page views, the first visit to the website, the start of the session, the web pages visited, interaction with the website, clicks on external links, internal search queries, interactions with videos, file downloads, ads viewed and clicked, your language settings, as well as your approximate location (region), the date and time of your visit, your IP address (in shortened form), technical information about your browser and the devices you use, your internet service provider, and the referrer URL (i.e., the website or advertising medium from which you accessed this website).
Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate the pseudonymous use of the website by its visitors and to compile reports on website activity. The reports provided by Google Analytics serve to analyze the performance of our website and the success of our marketing campaigns. The data sent and linked to cookies is automatically deleted after a maximum of 14 months. The maximum lifetime of Google Analytics cookies is 2 years. The legal basis for this data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) sentence 1 TDDDG. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by accessing the cookie settings and disabling the relevant services.

6. Newsletter
Newsletter Data
If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and consent to receive the newsletter. Additional data is not collected or is collected only voluntarily. This data is used exclusively for sending the requested information and is not shared with third parties. The processing of data entered into the newsletter registration form is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke the consent given for storing the data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation. The data you provide for newsletter subscription is stored with us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and is deleted from the newsletter distribution list after unsubscription. Data stored for other purposes remains unaffected.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist with us or the newsletter service provider to prevent future mailings. The data in the blacklist is used solely for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interests and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You may object to this storage if your interests override our legitimate interest.
7. Plugins and Tools
YouTube with Enhanced Privacy
This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of these pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they start watching a video. However, the enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily prevent data from being shared with YouTube partners. For instance, YouTube may establish a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you play a video. As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection is made to YouTube’s servers. The YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. In addition, YouTube may store various cookies on your device when a video is played. These cookies allow YouTube to collect information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to compile video statistics, improve user experience, and prevent fraud. The cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Additional data processing may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no control. The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an engaging manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing occurs solely on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, and consent may be revoked at any time.

Additionally, Vimeo obtains your IP address. This applies even if you are not logged into Vimeo or do not have a Vimeo account. The information collected by Vimeo is transmitted to Vimeo’s servers in the USA. If you are logged into your Vimeo account, you allow Vimeo to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account. The use of Vimeo is in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an engaging manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. reCAPTCHA is used to verify whether the data entered on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is submitted by a human or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as a visitor enters the website. reCAPTCHA evaluates different information during the analysis (e.g., IP address, duration of the visitor’s stay on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is transmitted to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place. The storage and analysis of the data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated scanning and spam. If consent has been requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing occurs exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

10. Our Social Media Presence
Data Processing by Social Networks
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The social networks we use in detail are listed below. Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and others can generally analyze your user behavior when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., Like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media profiles triggers various data processing activities that are relevant to data protection. If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media platform may associate this visit with your account. Your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media platform. This data collection can occur, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address. Using the data collected in this way, social media operators can create user profiles containing your preferences and interests. This allows them to display interest-based advertising both on and off the respective social media platform. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising may be displayed on all devices where you are or have been logged in. The processing of your data is based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in operating and promoting our social media presence. You have the right to object to this processing at any time, and you can manage your privacy and ad settings directly through the social network provider. Please note that we cannot fully track all processing activities performed by social media operators. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may occur. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media platforms.
Legal Basis
Our social media presence is intended to ensure the widest possible visibility on the Internet. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal grounds, which are specified by the operators of the respective social networks (e.g., consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
Controller and Exercising Your Rights
When you visit one of our social media profiles (e.g., Facebook), we act jointly with the operator of the social media platform as controllers for the data processing activities triggered by this visit. You may generally exercise your rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and lodging a complaint) both with us and with the operator of the respective social media platform (e.g., Facebook). Please note that despite our joint responsibility with the social media platform operators, we do not have full control over the data processing activities of the social media platforms. Our influence is largely determined by the policies of the respective provider.
Retention Period
Data collected directly by us through our social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storage no longer applies, you request deletion, you revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer exists. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected. We have no influence over the retention period of your data stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please refer directly to the operators of the respective social networks (e.g., in their privacy policies, see below).

11. Single Sign-On Service
We use a centralized Single Sign-On service to perform updates and to manage our products.
This Single Sign-On service is hosted by DigitalOcean LLC, 101 Avenue of the Americas, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10013, USA.
DigitalOcean acts as a data processor within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR. We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with DigitalOcean to ensure the security and confidentiality of personal data. Your personal data is generally stored and processed on servers located within the European Union. However, we would like to point out that our service provider DigitalOcean is a U.S. company. Despite the servers being located in the EU, it cannot be excluded that U.S. authorities may, in individual cases, request access to your data based on applicable legal provisions (e.g., the U.S. CLOUD Act) or that DigitalOcean may process personal data outside the European Union.
DigitalOcean is contractually obligated to challenge any overly broad or inappropriate request from a governmental authority, particularly if such request conflicts with EU law or the laws of EU Member States. Nevertheless, there remains a potential risk of access by third parties outside the EU, which, under applicable data protection principles, must be considered a transfer to a third country.
DigitalOcean ensures an adequate level of data protection through the use of EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as well as additional organizational measures.
Further information can be found at: https://www.digitalocean.com/legal/privacy-policy.
To manage and provide our products, we also use the services Zoho Books and Zoho CRM provided by Zoho Corporation GmbH, II. Hagen 7, 45127 Essen, Germany, a subsidiary of Zoho Corporation Pvt. Ltd., India.
Our Single Sign-On service is connected to Zoho Books in order to automatically synchronize accounting and customer data. As part of an initial data transfer, customer data is transmitted from Zoho CRM to Zoho Books.
We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Zoho to ensure the security and confidentiality of personal data. Zoho processes personal data partly outside the European Union. In doing so, Zoho ensures an adequate level of data protection through the use of EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as well as additional organizational measures.
Further information can be found at: https://www.zoho.com/privacy.html.
Data Processing
In connection with registration, license verification, permission management, the provision of software and content updates, as well as optional synchronization and backup functions, we process the following categories of data:
- customer data, including name, address, email address, customer number, contract information, billing and payment data
- login data, including username, password hash, and two-factor authentication
- device and hardware data, including serial number, device ID, and technical characteristics of the end device
- license and usage data, including license status, permissions, purchased content, and update history
- synchronization and backup data, including end-to-end encrypted backups and key metadata
- transaction data
- content or data exchanged between customers (e.g., between therapist and patient).
Purpose
The purposes of processing this data are to ensure the proper identification of the customer and the end device used by the customer, to verify licenses and manage permissions, to provide software updates, backups, content, and customer-purchased extensions, to synchronize encrypted content and keys with the customer’s device, and to enable efficient business operations.
Legal Basis
The legal bases for processing this data are the performance of a contract in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the use of the Single Sign-On service, license verification, and the provision of updates, backups, content, and customer-purchased extensions; our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for system and data security, abuse prevention, and efficient business operations; our legal obligations in accordance with Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR with regard to invoicing and compliance with commercial and tax law requirements; and the customer’s consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR for the use of optional backup or synchronization functions.
Retention Period
Personal data is stored as long as an active customer account exists or as required by statutory retention periods. After the end of use, we retain the data for a period of one month following the termination of the contract. Subsequently, this personal data is deleted or anonymized, unless statutory retention obligations (e.g., 6–10 years according to the German Commercial Code (HGB) and Fiscal Code (AO) for certain documents) or our legitimate interests (e.g., assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims) prevent deletion. Backups and temporary synchronization data are automatically deleted no later than three months after creation.
