2. General information on data processing

We collect, process and use your personal data only to the extent necessary to provide our website and our services and to communicate with you. Data is passed on to third parties only where the law permits it or where you have expressly consented.

3. Hosting and access data (server log files)

Our website is hosted by Vercel Inc. (340 Pine Street, Suite 701, San Francisco, CA 94104, USA). When you visit our website, the hosting provider automatically collects and stores data transmitted by your browser. This includes:

  • Pages visited
  • Date and time of the server request
  • Referrer URL
  • Browser and operating system used
  • IP address

This data serves solely to keep the site running without disruption and is not combined with other sources. A data processing agreement is in place with Vercel. Further information: vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.

Legal basis: Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in operating the website securely and reliably).

3a. Apple MapKit map service: showing our location

On the service area page we use Apple MapKit JS by Apple Inc. (One Apple Park Way, Cupertino, CA 95014, USA) to show where our business is located. The map loads automatically when the page opens. At that point, and therefore before you interact with the map at all, a connection to Apple servers is established and your IP address along with technical browser data such as browser type and operating system is transmitted. No further personal data is processed. The map serves only to show the location and contains no tracking or advertising functions. The associated transfer of data to the United States relies on the adequacy decision of the European Commission on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, under which Apple is certified.

Further information: apple.com/legal/privacy.

Legal basis: Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in presenting our business location clearly and making it easy to find). You may object to this processing at any time under Article 21 GDPR using the contact details given in the imprint (see also section 7).

3b. Apple MapKit map service: technician finder

On the enquiry page we likewise use Apple MapKit JS by Apple Inc. to support the technician search. The following data is processed:

  • Address entry: The address you enter is transmitted to Apple servers for geocoding, that is, conversion into coordinates.
  • Location detection (optional): If you use automatic location detection, your GPS coordinates are determined via browser geolocation and transmitted to Apple servers to calculate the route. This only happens after you have expressly agreed in the browser dialogue.
  • Route calculation: Apple uses your location data to calculate driving times and distances to the available technicians.

The location data transmitted is not stored permanently and serves solely to match you with a suitable technician nearby. The associated transfer of data to the United States relies on the adequacy decision of the European Commission on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, under which Apple is certified.

Further information: apple.com/legal/privacy.

Legal basis: Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR (steps prior to entering into a contract) for the address entry; Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent) for the optional use of GPS.

4. Getting in touch and the enquiry form

If you contact us by email, WhatsApp, telephone or through the enquiry form on our website, the details you provide, including your contact data (name, telephone number, email address, town and your request), are stored so that we can deal with your enquiry and answer any follow-up questions. We do not pass this data on without your consent.

The enquiry form sends your data encrypted over HTTPS to a server-side function running on the Vercel infrastructure (see section 3a). The data is then forwarded to us by email and is not stored permanently on the server.

Legal basis: Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR (steps prior to entering into a contract) and Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering enquiries).
