Terminology used
"Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier (e.g. cookie) or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
"Processing" means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means. The term is broad and encompasses virtually any handling of data.
"Pseudonymisation" means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
"Controller" means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
"Processor" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
Applicable legal bases
In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal bases of our data processing. Unless the legal basis is stated in the privacy policy, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfil our services and carry out contractual measures as well as to answer enquiries is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfil our legal obligations is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Security measures
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in order to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.
The measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as access, input, disclosure, ensuring availability and separation thereof. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, deletion of data and responses to data threats. We also take the protection of personal data into account from the outset in the development and selection of hardware, software and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default (Art. 25 GDPR).
SSL/TLS encryption
This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser address bar changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock icon in your browser bar. When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Cooperation with processors and third parties
If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons or companies (processors or third parties), transmit data to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is only done on the basis of a legal permission (e.g. if transmission of the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), you have consented, a legal obligation provides for this, or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).
If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called "data processing agreement", this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.
Transfers to third countries
If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this occurs in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure or transfer of data to third parties, this only takes place if it is to fulfil our (pre-)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, on the basis of a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we only process or have data processed in a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are met. Processing takes place, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as an adequacy decision by the European Commission (e.g. for the USA through the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework", DPF) or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations (so-called "Standard Contractual Clauses", SCCs).
Rights of data subjects
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether data concerning you is being processed and to obtain information about this data as well as further information and a copy of the data in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR.
You have the right, in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, to request the completion of data concerning you or the rectification of inaccurate data concerning you.
You have the right, in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, to demand that data concerning you be deleted without delay, or alternatively, in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, to demand restriction of the processing of the data.
You have the right to receive the data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR and to demand that it be transferred to another controller (right to data portability).
You also have the right, pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR, to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The supervisory authority responsible for us is:
Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA)
Promenade 18
91522 Ansbach
Internet: https://www.lda.bayern.de/
Right of withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw consent granted pursuant to Art. 7(3) GDPR with effect for the future.
Right to object
You may object to the future processing of data concerning you at any time in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR. The objection may be made in particular against processing for the purposes of direct marketing.
Cookies and local storage
The static pages of this online offering generally do not set cookies and do not use tracking. Where individual functions require client-side storage (e.g. user settings in the browser tools), the browser's Local Storage is used for this purpose. This data remains exclusively on your device and is not transmitted to our server.
Other systems operated under this domain (e.g. WordPress) may set technically necessary cookies, for example for session management or protection against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). The legal basis for this is § 25(2) TDDDG (technically necessary storage) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests).
You can deactivate the storage of cookies at any time in your browser settings and delete cookies that have already been stored. You can also view and delete Local Storage via your browser's developer tools. Please note that deactivating cookies may lead to functional restrictions in certain areas of this online offering.
Deletion of data
The data processed by us will be deleted or its processing restricted in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted, i.e. the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons.
According to legal requirements in Germany, data is retained in particular for 10 years pursuant to §§ 147(1) AO, 257(1) Nos. 1 and 4, (4) HGB (books, records, management reports, accounting vouchers, commercial books, documents relevant for taxation, etc.) and 6 years pursuant to § 257(1) Nos. 2 and 3, (4) HGB (commercial correspondence).
Business-related processing
In addition, we process
- Contract data (e.g. subject matter of contract, term, customer category).
- Payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history).
from our customers, prospects and business partners for the purpose of providing contractual services, service and customer care, marketing, advertising and market research.
Agency services
We process the data of our clients in the course of our contractual services, which include conceptual and strategic consulting, campaign planning, software and design development/consulting or maintenance, implementation of campaigns and processes/handling, server administration, data analysis/consulting services and training services.
In doing so, we process inventory data (e.g. master customer data such as names or addresses), contact data (e.g. email, phone numbers), content data (e.g. text input, photographs, videos), contract data (e.g. subject matter of contract, term), payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history), usage and metadata (e.g. in the context of evaluating and measuring the success of marketing measures). As a matter of principle, we do not process special categories of personal data unless they are part of a commissioned processing. Data subjects include our clients, prospects and their customers, users, website visitors or employees, as well as third parties. The purpose of processing is the provision of contractual services, billing and our customer service. The legal bases for processing arise from Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contractual services), Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (analysis, statistics, optimisation, security measures). We process data that is necessary for the establishment and fulfilment of contractual services and point out the necessity of providing it. Disclosure to external parties only occurs when required within the scope of a commission. When processing data provided to us within the scope of a commission, we act in accordance with the instructions of the commissioning parties and the legal requirements of commissioned processing pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR and do not process the data for any purposes other than those of the commission.
We delete the data after the expiry of statutory warranty and comparable obligations. The necessity of retaining the data is reviewed every three years; in the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion takes place after their expiry (6 years pursuant to § 257(1) HGB, 10 years pursuant to § 147(1) AO). In the case of data disclosed to us within the scope of a commission by the commissioning party, we delete the data in accordance with the specifications of the commission, generally after the end of the commission.
Contractual services
We process the data of our contractual partners and prospects as well as other clients, customers or contractual partners (uniformly referred to as "contractual partners") in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR in order to provide our contractual or pre-contractual services to them. The data processed, the nature, scope and purpose, and the necessity of their processing are determined by the underlying contractual relationship.
The data processed includes the master data of our contractual partners (e.g. names and addresses), contact data (e.g. email addresses and phone numbers) as well as contract data (e.g. services used, contract content, contractual communication, names of contact persons) and payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history).
As a matter of principle, we do not process special categories of personal data unless they are part of a commissioned or contractual processing.
We process data that is necessary for the establishment and fulfilment of contractual services and point out the necessity of providing it where this is not evident to the contractual partners. Disclosure to external persons or companies only occurs when required within the scope of a contract. When processing data provided to us within the scope of a commission, we act in accordance with the instructions of the commissioning parties and the legal requirements.
In the context of using our online services, we may store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. Storage is based on our legitimate interests as well as the interests of users in protection against misuse and other unauthorised use. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless it is necessary for the pursuit of our claims pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR or there is a legal obligation pursuant to Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Data is deleted when it is no longer required for the fulfilment of contractual or statutory duty of care obligations and for dealing with any warranty and comparable obligations, whereby the necessity of retaining the data is reviewed every three years; otherwise, the statutory retention obligations apply.
Administration, financial accounting, office organisation, contact management
We process data in the context of administrative tasks and the organisation of our business, financial accounting and compliance with statutory obligations, such as archiving. In doing so, we process the same data that we process in the course of providing our contractual services. The processing bases are Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Customers, prospects, business partners and website visitors are affected by the processing. The purpose and our interest in the processing lies in administration, financial accounting, office organisation and data archiving, i.e. tasks that serve to maintain our business activities, perform our duties and provide our services. The deletion of data with regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the information stated for these processing activities.
In this context, we disclose or transmit data to the tax authorities, advisors such as tax consultants or auditors, as well as other fee offices and payment service providers.
Furthermore, on the basis of our business interests, we store information about suppliers, event organisers and other business partners, e.g. for the purpose of later contact. This predominantly company-related data is generally stored permanently.
Business analysis and market research
In order to run our business economically and to identify market trends, wishes of contractual partners and users, we analyse the data available to us on business transactions, contracts, enquiries, etc. We process inventory data, communication data, contract data, payment data, usage data and metadata on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, whereby the data subjects include contractual partners, prospects, customers, visitors and users of our online offering.
The analyses are carried out for the purpose of business evaluations, marketing and market research. In doing so, we may take into account the profiles of registered users with information such as the services they have used. The analyses serve to increase user-friendliness, the optimisation of our offering and business efficiency. The analyses serve us alone and are not disclosed externally unless they are anonymous analyses with aggregated values.
If these analyses or profiles are personal, they will be deleted or anonymised upon termination by the user, otherwise after two years from the conclusion of the contract. Otherwise, overall business analyses and general trend determinations are created anonymously where possible.
Unsolicited applications
We occasionally receive unsolicited application documents (speculative applications) by email or post. The personal data contained therein (e.g. name, contact details, curriculum vitae, references) is processed by us solely for the purpose of evaluating the application. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) and § 26 BDSG (data processing in the employment context).
If the application does not lead to a collaboration, the documents will be deleted no later than six months after completion of the evaluation process in order to comply with our obligations under the AGG (General Equal Treatment Act). Retention beyond this period only takes place with the express consent of the applicant.
We point out that emails are generally transmitted unencrypted. For the transmission of sensitive application documents, we therefore recommend sending them by post or using encrypted email transmission.
Contacting us
When contacting us (e.g. via contact form, email, phone or via social media), the user's information is processed for the purpose of handling the contact enquiry and its processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) (in the context of contractual/pre-contractual relationships), Art. 6(1)(f) (other enquiries) GDPR. User information may be stored in a Customer Relationship Management system ("CRM system") or comparable enquiry organisation.
We delete the enquiries when they are no longer required. We review the necessity every two years; furthermore, the statutory archiving obligations apply.
Hosting and email delivery
The hosting services we use serve to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, email delivery, security services and technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating this online offering.
In doing so, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, prospects and visitors to this online offering on the basis of our legitimate interests in the efficient and secure provision of this online offering pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR (conclusion of a data processing agreement).
Collection of access data and log files
We or our hosting provider collect data on every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files) on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Access data includes the name of the web page accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.
Log file information is stored for security reasons (e.g. for the investigation of abuse or fraud) for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. Data whose further retention is required for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the respective incident has been finally resolved.
Browser tools on this website
At https://www.jpkc.com/tools/, we offer a collection of free, browser-based developer tools. The following notices relate to data processing in this area.
Local data storage in the tools
Individual tools use your browser's Local Storage to store user input (e.g. recently used values, settings or an input history) locally on your device. This data remains exclusively in your browser and is not transmitted to our server. You can view and delete Local Storage at any time via your browser's developer tools. The legal basis is § 25(2) TDDDG (technically necessary storage) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests in a user-friendly design).
Google Fonts (Fonts tool)
The tool at https://www.jpkc.com/tools/fonts/ allows you to preview and compare fonts, including fonts from the Google Fonts library. When you select a Google Font, it is loaded directly from the servers of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) or Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) into your browser. In this process, your IP address is transmitted to Google.
The use is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, as the font is only loaded after your active selection. Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Server-side URL analysis (SEO and analysis tools)
Some tools (e.g. SEO & GEO Analyzer, DNS, SSL, Redirect & URL, Source Viewer) offer the ability to retrieve and analyse URLs entered by you on the server side. The entered URLs are transmitted to our server, which retrieves the target page on behalf of the user and returns the results (e.g. HTTP headers, SSL certificate data, HTML source code, redirects).
The entered URLs are not permanently stored and are only processed for the duration of the analysis. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (provision of the requested function at the user's request).
WordPress section of this website
In addition to the static pages, a WordPress-based system is also operated under this domain. The following notices relate to data processing in this area.
Registration function
Users can create a user account. During registration, the required mandatory information is communicated to users and processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of providing the user account. The data processed includes, in particular, login information (username, password and an email address). The data entered during registration is used for the purposes of using the user account and its purpose.
Users may be informed by email about information relevant to their user account, such as technical changes. When users have terminated their user account, their data will be deleted with regard to the user account, subject to a statutory retention obligation. It is the responsibility of users to back up their data before the end of the contract. We are entitled to irretrievably delete all data stored during the contract period.
In the context of using our registration and login functions as well as the use of the user account, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. Storage is based on our legitimate interests as well as the interests of users in protection against misuse and other unauthorised use. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless it is necessary for the pursuit of our claims or there is a legal obligation pursuant to Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. IP addresses are anonymised or deleted after 7 days at the latest.
Comments and posts
When users leave comments or other posts, their IP addresses may be stored on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for 7 days. This is done for our security in case someone leaves unlawful content in comments and posts (insults, prohibited political propaganda, etc.). In this case, we ourselves can be held liable for the comment or post and are therefore interested in the identity of the author.
Furthermore, we reserve the right, on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, to process user information for the purpose of spam detection.
The data provided in the context of comments and posts is stored by us permanently until the user objects.
Comment subscriptions
Follow-up comments can be subscribed to by users with their consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Users receive a confirmation email to verify that they are the owner of the email address entered. Users can unsubscribe from ongoing comment subscriptions at any time. The confirmation email contains information on the options for withdrawal. For the purposes of proving user consent, we store the time of registration along with the IP address of the users and delete this information when users unsubscribe from the subscription.
You can cancel the receipt of our subscription at any time, i.e. withdraw your consent. We may store the unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before deleting them in order to be able to prove previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defence against claims. An individual deletion request is possible at any time, provided that the former existence of consent is confirmed at the same time.
Akismet Anti-Spam
The WordPress section uses the "Akismet" service provided by Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA. The use is based on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. With the help of this service, comments from real people are distinguished from spam comments. For this purpose, all comment data is sent to a server in the USA where it is analysed and stored for comparison purposes for four days. If a comment has been classified as spam, the data is stored beyond this period. This data includes the name entered, the email address, the IP address, the comment content, the referrer, information about the browser used and the computer system, and the time of entry.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information on the collection and use of data by Akismet can be found in Automattic's privacy notice: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Users are welcome to use pseudonyms or to refrain from entering their name or email address. You can completely prevent the transmission of data by not using the comment system.
Profile pictures via Gravatar
The WordPress section uses the Gravatar service provided by Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA.
Gravatar is a service where users can register and store profile pictures along with their email addresses. When users leave comments using the respective email address, their profile pictures can be displayed alongside the comments. For this purpose, the email address provided by the user is transmitted to Gravatar in encrypted form (as an MD5 hash) to check whether a profile is stored for it. This is the sole purpose of the transmission.
The use of Gravatar is based on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. By displaying the images, Gravatar obtains the IP address of the users, as this is necessary for communication between a browser and an online service. Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information can be found in Automattic's privacy policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
If users do not want a profile picture linked to their email address at Gravatar to appear in the comments, they should use an email address that is not registered with Gravatar.
Emojis
WordPress loads graphical emojis (small image files) from external servers of Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA, by default. The server providers collect the IP addresses of users, as this is technically necessary for transmitting the files to the browser.
The use of emojis is based on our legitimate interests in an attractive design of our online offering pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Privacy notice by Automattic: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Nextcloud
A Nextcloud instance is operated under this domain. Nextcloud is a self-hosted open-source platform for file storage, synchronisation and sharing. All data processing takes place on our own server — no data is transmitted to the manufacturer (Nextcloud GmbH, Stuttgart, Germany) or any other third parties.
The following data is processed when using Nextcloud:
- Inventory data (username, email address) for the provision of the user account.
- Content data (uploaded files, calendars, contacts, etc.) for the provision of the requested functions.
- IP addresses and session data for security purposes and session management.
Nextcloud sets technically necessary cookies for session management and authentication (legal basis: § 25(2) TDDDG). The processing of personal data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (provision of the service) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests in the security of the system). Nextcloud's privacy policy: https://nextcloud.com/privacy/.
PrivateBin
A PrivateBin instance is operated under this domain. PrivateBin is a self-hosted open-source paste service that uses end-to-end encryption in the browser. The entered content is encrypted on the client side before being transmitted to the server. The decryption key is located exclusively in the URL fragment (after the # character) and is not sent to the server. As the operator, we therefore have no access to the plaintext content.
The following data is processed when using the service:
- Encrypted content data, which is stored on our server and automatically deleted after the expiry period chosen by the user.
- IP addresses as part of the standard server log files (see "Collection of access data and log files").
PrivateBin does not set cookies and does not require registration. Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (provision of the service at the user's request). Privacy information about PrivateBin: https://privatebin.info/.
Online presences in social media
We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with customers, prospects and users active there and to inform them about our services.
We point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may entail risks for users, as it could, for example, make it more difficult to enforce user rights. With regard to US providers that are certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF), we point out that they commit to maintaining a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU.
Furthermore, user data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created from usage behaviour and the resulting interests of users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are generally stored on the users' computers, in which the usage behaviour and interests of the users are stored. Furthermore, data may also be stored in the usage profiles regardless of the devices used by the users (particularly when the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).
The processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effective information of users and communication with users pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If the users are asked by the respective providers for consent to data processing (i.e. they declare their consent, for example, by ticking a checkbox or confirming a button), the legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(a), Art. 7 GDPR.
For a detailed description of the respective processing and the options for objection (opt-out), we refer to the information provided by the providers linked below.
Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users' data and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. Should you nevertheless need help, you can contact us.

Fonts and icons (self-hosting)
This website uses fonts and icon fonts (e.g. Font Awesome, Bootstrap Icons) that are hosted locally on our own server (self-hosting). When you access our pages, no connection is established to external servers of the font providers. Therefore, no personal data (in particular no IP addresses) is transmitted to third parties.
Machine-readable files and artificial intelligence
This website provides machine-readable files, including a robots.txt, a sitemap.xml and an llms.txt (a structured summary of the website for large language models). The robots.txt file contains the directive Content-Signal: ai-train=yes, which explicitly permits the training of AI models using the publicly accessible content of this website. These files are provided on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (discoverability and accessibility of the online offering). When accessing these files, the standard access data (see "Collection of access data and log files") is processed.
Currency and changes to this privacy policy
