Below we explain what type of personal data is processed when you visit the website and use the offer. Processing in this sense means any form of use of the data, e.g. collection, recording, storage, provision, organization, transmission, presentation, processing, deletion, reading or querying. Personal data is only processed to the extent necessary for the provision of the offer, communication with users, the provision of services, the execution of the contractual/business relationship, the optimization of business processes and the needs-based design of our services.
We observe the principle of data minimization and only process your personal data in strict compliance with data protection regulations. In particular, corresponding data will only be processed if there is a legal permission/legal basis.
You can visit our website without providing any personal data. However, every time you access our website, usage data is transmitted by your Internet browser and stored in log data (server log files). This stored data includes, for example, the name of the page accessed, date and time of access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page) and IP address.
This data is used to ensure the trouble-free operation of our website and to improve our offering. The processing is necessary to ensure the security and stability of the system and convenient use of the website.
We also use the log data for statistical evaluations, for the purpose of optimizing the processes and the security of the services. We reserve the right to check the log data retrospectively if there are concrete indications of suspected unlawful use of the service provided.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 b) and f) GDPR.
The website uses cookies. These are short data packets that are exchanged between computer programs or text files that are stored on the visitor's end device. Session cookies are deleted after you close your browser, whereas persistent cookies remain on your device and enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies 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 the website may be restricted.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 b) and f) GDPR for cookies that are technically necessary for the operation of the website.
The legal basis for data processing for all other cookies that are not technically necessary for the operation of the website is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR.
You can find a detailed overview of the cookies we use, their purpose, their duration and the possibility of revoking your consent with regard to the optional cookies in our cookie statement.
If you contact us using the postal or e-mail address provided on our website, we will process the contact details you provide, i.e. your name, postal or e-mail address, as well as any additional information you provide voluntarily.
In this case, the processing of the contact data you use is essential in order to contact you and respond to your request. If additional data is provided, it is processed in order to individualize you and to be able to respond to your request in the best possible way.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) a), b) and f) GDPR.
We offer a newsletter by e-mail. In this you will receive information about our services and about us.
To receive the newsletter, you must provide your e-mail address. Before the newsletter is sent, you must expressly confirm that you wish to receive our newsletter as part of the so-called double opt-in procedure. You will then receive a confirmation and authorization e-mail with a link. By clicking on this link, you confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter.
As part of the registration process, your e-mail address, your IP address and the time of registration and confirmation are logged. We also record how often the newsletter is opened by recipients and which links are clicked on.
The purpose of the newsletter is to inform you about the content described in the registration process, which regularly includes our offers, current developments and events. The purpose of collecting your e-mail address is to send you the newsletter. The logging of the registration process (IP address and registration data) serves to be able to legally prove your registration in our e-mail distribution list and to be able to defend ourselves against any accusations of unsolicited e-mails. The evaluation of click behaviour is used to optimize the newsletter and for statistics and performance measurement.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 a) and f) GDPR.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. You will find an unsubscribe link for this purpose in every newsletter sent. Alternatively, you can revoke your consent by contacting us at press@platte.berlin by post or telephone. 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 that consent was previously given. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defense against claims. An individual request for erasure is possible at any time, provided that the former existence of consent is confirmed at the same time.
Your data will be stored for as long as is necessary to fulfill the above-mentioned purposes.
As soon as this is no longer the case, e.g. after complete termination of the contractual/business relationship, including expiry of any existing warranty period, it will be deleted or blocked if and as long as commercial or tax retention obligations do not require further storage (Art. 6 para. 1 c) GDPR). The data will be deleted from the point in time at which statutory retention obligations no longer apply, unless you have expressly consented to further use (Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR).
Personal data can also be deleted manually from the database at any time if this is requested.
In principle, the data transmitted by you will not be made available to third parties. In individual cases, however, it may be necessary to pass on your personal data to companies entrusted by us with the provision of individual services (e.g. web hosting, cloud providers) in order to execute the contract.
If we disclose data to third parties as part of our processing, transfer it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is only done on the basis of legal permission, your consent, a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. If we commission third-party providers with the processing of data on the basis of a so-called "order processing contract", this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR. For their part, the third parties are obliged to comply with the statutory provisions when handling and processing this data.
The registered office of a third party may be located in a third country, i.e. in a country in which the GDPR has no direct legal effect. In this case, data will only be transferred if you have given your consent, an adequate level of data protection prevails, for example due to individual agreements, the use of EU standard contractual clauses, the existence of an EU adequacy decision, or if other legal permission exists.
Transmission to authorities and state institutions entitled to receive information is also possible, but only takes place within the framework of the legal obligation to provide information and in the event of a court decision requiring this. In these cases, we may provide the information, e.g. for the assertion, exercise and defense of legal claims, enforcement of existing contracts, in the context of allegations of fraud, security measures or due to other legally applicable regulations.
Personal data will not be passed on outside the scope described here without express consent.
Under no circumstances will Platte sell or rent personal data to third parties.
We would like to point out separately the following third-party providers whose services we use in the context of operating the website and providing our services, and who may come into contact with the personal data described above:
Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany ("Brevo")
We expressly point out that we ourselves have no influence on the scope of the data that these companies collect. We must therefore rely on the information provided by the respective companies with regard to data protection, to which we refer in the following information.
If necessary, please obtain further information from the companies themselves about the purpose and scope of data collection as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy. We have provided the links to the data protection declarations here.

We use the cloud-based newsletter management service Brevo to send our newsletter. This allows us to contact subscribers directly and inform them about news and offers.

Brevo is the recipient of your personal data (email address, date of registration, IP address) and acts as our processor for sending our newsletter. A corresponding contract for commissioned data processing has been concluded.

Our company has an online presence on various social media and platforms, namely Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook. This makes it easier for interested parties to search for our services and offers an additional channel of communication. The purpose of the processing of user data by the respective social media and platforms is usually user-specific advertising, i.e. individualized advertising can be placed that corresponds to the presumed interests of the user or results from the user's previous usage behavior.
A social medium or platform may be based in a third country, i.e. in a country in which the GDPR has no direct legal effect. In this case, data will only be transferred if you have given your consent, an adequate level of data protection prevails, for example due to individual agreements, the use of EU standard contractual clauses, the existence of an EU adequacy decision or other legal permission.
We would like to make it clear that users should contact the respective third-party providers directly in the event of requests for information and/or the assertion of other data subject rights. They have insight and access rights to the user data stored and processed there and can provide information and/or take measures accordingly. If you contact us directly, we will try to support your request as best we can. However, as we have no insight into or access to the data stored by third-party providers, our options for action are limited. Please inform yourself about the data processing principles of the respective companies on the basis of the corresponding data protection declarations.
Further information on the handling of user data can be found here: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube und Facebook.
As a person affected by the processing of personal data, you are entitled to the rights listed below. These rights arise from the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation and are reproduced here in a partially simplified form.
In accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR, you have the right to withdraw your consent to processing at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation. The right of withdrawal can be exercised by means of an informal declaration. A written declaration or, alternatively, an email to the above contact address is sufficient.
In accordance with Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed. If this is the case, you have a right to information about this personal data and the information specified in Art. 15 Para. 1 Hs. 2 GDPR. This includes, in particular, the purpose of the processing, the categories of data processed, the recipients to whom the data have been or will be disclosed and, where possible, the envisaged period for which the data will be stored or the criteria used to determine that period.
In accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, you have the right to obtain from us without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
In accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, you have the right to demand that we erase personal data concerning you without undue delay. We are obliged to delete personal data immediately if one of the reasons in Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR applies. These reasons include, for example, that the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
In accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to demand that we restrict processing if one of the conditions specified in Art. 18 GDPR applies. This includes, for example, if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data. We may then only process the data to a limited extent for as long as it takes to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
In accordance with Art. 20 GDPR, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You have the right to transmit this data to another controller, i.e. another entity that processes data, without hindrance, provided that the original processing was based on consent or was necessary for the performance of a contract.
In accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you if this data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 e) or f) GDPR and there are reasons arising from your personal situation. You can object to the processing of data for the purpose of direct marketing at any time. Personal data will then no longer be processed for this purpose. The right to object can be exercised by means of an informal declaration. A written declaration or, alternatively, an e-mail to the above-mentioned contact address is sufficient.
In accordance with Art. 22 GDPR, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. Art. 22 para. 1 GDPR provides for exceptions to this, whereby Art. 22 para. 4 GDPR in turn provides for partial exceptions.
Under Art. 77 GDPR, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes this Regulation.
