1. Data protection at a glance — General information

The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data means any data with which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on data protection can be found in the full Privacy Policy below.

Data collection on this website

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. The operator's contact details can be found in the section "Note on the controller" in this Privacy Policy.

How do we collect your data?

On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. This can be, for example, data that you enter into a contact form. Other data is collected automatically or after your consent when you visit the website via our IT systems. This is mainly technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system, or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

What do we use your data for?

Part of the data is collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right at any time to receive, free of charge, information about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the rectification or deletion of this data. If you have given consent to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. Furthermore, you have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. You can contact us at any time about this and if you have any further questions on the subject of data protection.

Analytics tools and tools from third parties

When you visit this website, your browsing behavior may be statistically evaluated. This is done primarily with so-called analytics programs. Detailed information about these analytics programs can be found in the Privacy Policy below.

2. Hosting

We host parts of our website and backend infrastructure with the following provider:

Supabase

The provider is Supabase, Inc. (United States) ("Supabase").

Supabase provides managed infrastructure for our application (e.g., database, authentication, storage, and server-side functions). When you visit our website or use features backed by Supabase, Supabase may process your IP address, device and browser information, request timestamps, and service logs necessary to deliver and secure the service. If you use authenticated features, identifiers and session tokens may be stored (e.g., in cookies or local storage). Data you submit (such as contact details) may be stored in our Supabase database.

The use of Supabase is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the most reliable and secure provision of our website and app services. Where consent is requested, processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Processing agreement

We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Supabase pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. This contract ensures that Supabase processes personal data of our website visitors only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

For details, please see Supabase's privacy information: https://supabase.com/privacy and DPA: https://supabase.com/legal/dpa.

3. General notes and mandatory information

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are 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 happens.

We point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g., communication by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

PrecisionBiome UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
Jupiterstrasse 9
83624 Otterfing

Email: info@precisionbiome.eu

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines 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 data processing no longer applies. If you make a justified 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., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), processing additionally takes place on the basis of § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal basis applicable in each individual case is explained in the following paragraphs of this Privacy Policy.

Note on data transfers to third countries that are not secure under data protection law and on transfers to U.S. companies not DPF-certified

We use, among other things, tools from companies based in third countries that are not secure under data protection law as well as U.S. tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We point out that in third countries that are not secure under data protection law, a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed.

We note that the USA, as a secure third country, generally provides a level of data protection comparable to the EU. A data transfer to the USA is therefore permissible if the recipient has certification under the "EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework" (DPF) or has suitable additional safeguards. Information on transfers to third countries, including the recipients of the data, can be found in this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of personal data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This may also require the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transmission of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the transfer, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid processing contract. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data processing in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; 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 OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR RELEVANT PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR 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 DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH ADVERTISING; 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 DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (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 shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract 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 insofar as it is technically feasible.

Access, rectification, and deletion

Within the scope of 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 data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time for this as well as for further questions on personal data.

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 by us, we usually need 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 happened/is happening unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have filed an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck 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, such data—apart from being stored—may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

Objection to promotional emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example by spam emails.

4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our internet pages use so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are deleted automatically after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies can come from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies to process payment services).

Cookies have different functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., shopping cart function or displaying videos). Other cookies can be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you desire (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies to measure web audience) (necessary cookies) 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 the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited. Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this Privacy Policy.

5. Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an email address from you and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered into the newsletter sign-up form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke the consent given for the storage of 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 lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe or once the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Data that has been stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected. After you unsubscribe from the newsletter, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

6. Plugins and tools

This site uses so-called Google Fonts, provided by Google, for the uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google's servers. Through this, Google becomes aware that this website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Fonts is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the uniform presentation of the typeface on its website. If corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

If your browser does not support Google Fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.
