Data Protection
The operators of this site take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.
Information on the Responsible Party
The responsible party for data processing on this website is:
Creedle gGmbH
Hauptstraße 13
78628 Rottweil
Germany
Phone: +49 741 206702500
Email:
The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Storage Duration
Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply.
General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on This Website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR. In the case of an explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing is also based on § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

The relevant legal bases for each individual case are informed in the following paragraphs of this Privacy Policy.
Note on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries
We use, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that do not have adequate data protection laws. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We point out that these countries cannot guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, US companies are required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you having the possibility to take legal action against this. It cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Specific Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the location of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to request that data which we process based on your consent or in the performance of a contract be handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
Information, Deletion, and Correction
You have the right, within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, to obtain information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of the data processing free of charge at any time, and, if applicable, a right to correct or delete this data. For this purpose and for any further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. During the duration of the check, 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 need it to assert, exercise, or defend 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 under Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests outweigh, 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 or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of significant public interest of the European Union or a member state.
SSL/TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from http:// to https:// and the lock symbol appears in your browser line.
When SSL/TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

For the provision of individual works, an external service is integrated that creates a conversion of the provided work. For this purpose, the original file is forwarded to CloudConvert of Lunaweb GmbH. Their privacy policy can be viewed at https://cloudconvert.com/privacy. The CloudConvert service converts proprietary file formats into commonly used file formats and creates a preview for extensive works. Both results are immediately transferred to creedle mediac and made available to users there. The data transmitted to CloudConvert and the data created at CloudConvert are deleted immediately after being transferred to creedle mediac. This conversion is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is provided. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing files in accessible formats. In connection with this conversion, no user-related information is transmitted to the service provider, except for the provided file.
In the case of legitimate interest or other legal bases, individual works are evaluated at creedle mediac. This processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in protecting the respective user. The data is stored only as long as required by these legal provisions and then deleted. In principle, the provided works, created previews, and format conversions are stored on the website operator’s servers. If they are also stored on other websites through citation functions and links, we as the website operator have no influence on this. All provisions are linked to the respective user profile of the user at creedle mediac. After deleting a user profile, these posts are anonymized. This is done based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is provided.
