We are very pleased about your visit to our website. Data protection has a particularly high priority for us. The use of our website is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and if there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the applicable country-specific data protection regulations. By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform you and the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.
As the controller, the CXP Commerce Experts GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures (TOM) to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can always be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.
The responsible party within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is:

Any data subject may contact us directly at any time with any questions or suggestions regarding data protection:

Our Internet pages collect a series of general data and information each time the Internet pages are accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server.
For example, the following can be recorded
(1) browser types and versions used,
(2) the operating system used by the accessing system,
(3) the website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrer),
(4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
(5) the date and time of any access to the Website,
(6) an Internet Protocol (IP) address,
(7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and
(8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, no conclusions are drawn about the data subject.
Rather, this information is needed to
(1) to deliver and display the contents of our website correctly,
(2) to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,
(3) to ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and
(4) to provide law enforcement authorities with information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.
Therefore, the data controller analyzes anonymously collected data and information on one hand for statistical purposes and on the other hand for the purpose of increasing data protection and data security, so as to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.
Article 6 (1) a) DSGVO serves as our legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for a delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) (b) DSGVO. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If we are subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) c) DSGVO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In that case, the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) DSGVO. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of us or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47, sentence 2 DSGVO). If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of the contract or that no further statutory or legal requirements stand in the way of the deletion.
The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by the European Directive and Regulation or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual or pre-contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if we conclude a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data or to enter personal data in input masks. This may be necessary, for example, for the receipt of a newsletter, contact via contact form, registration for participation in events or other similar registration options. Which personal data is transmitted to the data controller in this context results from the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be transferred to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for an internal use attributable to the controller.
When you contact us (e.g. via contact form), personal data is collected. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) DSGVO. If the purpose of your contact is the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request, this is the case when it can be seen that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and provided that no statutory or legal retention obligations prevent the deletion.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date and the time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that only in this way can the misuse of our services be prevented and, if necessary, this data makes it possible to clarify crimes that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for the protection of the data controller. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal or statutory obligation to pass it on or the passing on serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject by voluntarily providing personal data serves the purpose of the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users or those who explicitly request this. These persons are free to modify the personal data provided at any time or to have it completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.
The controller shall provide any data subject at any time, upon request, with information about what personal data is stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as this does not conflict with any statutory or legal retention obligations. The entire staff of the controller shall be available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.
Depending on the purpose of the collection of the personal data, we transmit this data, for example, to the following recipients or categories of recipients, or they are directly involved in the processing of the personal data:
Depending on the collection purpose of the personal data, a third country transfer takes place as follows:
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The processing may also take place electronically. This is the case, in particular, when an applicant submits relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example, by e-mail or via a web form located on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted no later than six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f) DSGVO of the controller prevent deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
This data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European Directive and Ordinance Maker when issuing the Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO). Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners.

Our Internet pages use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on an information technology system (e.g. computer, notebook, smartphone, tablet) via an Internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, we can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the sense of the user. Cookies allow us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of an Internet site that uses cookies does not have to check the cookie banner on each visit and make a selection here or, for example, enter his or her access data again on the Internet site, because this is done by the Internet site and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online store. In this way, the online store can remember the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
In order to be able to collect the aforementioned cookies and your given consent for this and also for any third-party connections (see the following section), we use a cookie consent tool, which is also known as the “cookie banner” or (more appropriately) “consent banner”.
As you know it from our entire range: We want to offer you the best possible service. Therefore, we have integrated various applications, plugins and tools (in the future: “tools”) on our website. Depending on their function, these can, for example, optimize the loading times of our website, simplify its use, support us in improving our offer or increase security.
The specific details of the tools used are explained below.
We have integrated Salesviewer on our website. The operating company of Salesviewer® is SalesViewer® GmbH, Huestr. 30, 44787 Bochum, Germany.
SalesViewer® is a marketing tool that makes it possible to collect company-related data through the use of trackscripts. In this way, we can find out who is likely to benefit from our support. The data collected by Salesviewer® is encrypted using a non-reversible one-way function (so-called hashing). This immediately pseudonymizes the data and prevents website visitors from being personally identified. In doing so, we only process personal data for as long as is necessary. As soon as the purpose of the data processing has been fulfilled, the data is blocked and deleted in accordance with the standards of the deletion concept here, unless legal regulations prevent deletion. If a cookie is set for you, it will be automatically deleted after the storage period has expired, unless you have already deleted it yourself before this time.
Processing purposes
Salesviewer® is suitable for us in order to be able to analyze the flow of visitors to our website and thus communicate with precisely those companies that need our support.
Legal basis
We require your consent for the use of the tool, which is the legal basis according to § 25 para. 1 TTDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) (consent).We obtain this consent through our previously described consent tool and also document this.
We also have a legitimate interest in optimizing our online service, so we invoke Art. 6 (1) f) (legitimate interest) in this regard.
Furthermore, Salesviewer gathers data only from businesses, with static IP Addresses, that have a legitimate interest in our software.
You can find more information on the handling of personal data in Salesviewer’s privacy policy: https://www.salesviewer.com/en/privacy-policy/
Possibility of objection
In principle, you always have the option to freely manage the setting, management and deletion of cookies in your browser according to your wishes and knowledge. For example, if you do not want this tool to set cookies and collect information about you and, if applicable, your behavior, you can disable the basic setting of cookies in your browser settings at any time. In individual cases, however, this may mean that various functionalities (such as shopping carts) on the websites you visit may no longer function even if you wish them to.
We have integrated videos from the video portal Vimeo on our website. The operating company of Vimeo is Vimeo LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.
Vimeo is a YouTube-like video portal. Anyone can upload their videos via a free account and thus distribute them on the Internet. While the service is essentially free to use, Vimeo still offers the option to provide paid video content through your own account. Vimeo keeps only 10% of the revenue for itself, with the rest going to the creators. In addition, each member can create their own channel on Vimeo and design it as they wish. When you access our website, your browser connects to the servers of Vimeo, in which a Vimeo video is embedded. In the course of this data transmission, Vimeo collects, processes and stores data such as your IP address, information about your operating system, browser type or your device information. In addition, Vimeo stores data that describes your usage behavior: Interactions on our website, the bounce rate, how long you stay on our website and of course our URL itself. If you are logged into Vimeo during your visit to our website, Vimeo can usually assign the interactions to your profile. Furthermore, in this case, more data can usually be collected. Here, we process personal data only as long as it is necessary. As soon as the purpose of the data processing is fulfilled, a blocking and deletion takes place according to the standards of the deletion concept here, unless legal regulations oppose a deletion. If a cookie is set on your computer, it will be automatically deleted after the expiration of the storage period, unless you have already deleted it yourself before the expiration of this period. As a precaution, we would like to point out that according to the opinion of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), there is currently no adequate level of protection for the transfer of data to the USA and therefore various risks are associated with the legality and security of the data processing, including your data.
Processing purposes
Vimeo is a great way for us to share quality content with you in a simple way. Because with the help of videos we can give you a better picture of us, present complex issues in a simplified way and offer you a better online experience on our website.
Legal basis
In order to use the tool, we require your consent, which is the legal basis according to Section 25 (1) TTDSG and Article 6 (1) a) (consent). We obtain this consent through our previously described consent tool and also document this via this.
We also have a legitimate interest in optimizing our online service, so we invoke Art. 6 (1) f) (legitimate interest) in this regard.
Nevertheless, we only use this tool if you have given us your consent to do so.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=deMehr Information on the handling of personal data can be found in the Vimeo privacy policy: https://vimeo.com/privacy .

In individual cases, however, this may mean that various functionalities (such as shopping carts) on the websites you visit may no longer function even if you wish them to.
We have integrated the third-party provider Etracker on our website. The operating company of Etracker is Etracker GmbH, based in Hamburg, Germany. Etracker is a web analysis tool that helps us analyze user behavior on our website and optimize our online services. In doing so, the following personal data is processed: IP address of the user, time of access, pages visited, browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL and the location of the user at city level. We process personal data only as long as it is necessary. As soon as the purpose of the data processing is fulfilled, blocking and deletion takes place according to the standards of the deletion concept here, unless legal regulations prevent deletion. If a cookie is set on your computer, it will be automatically deleted after the storage period has expired, unless you have already deleted it yourself before this time.
Processing purposes
Etracker is valuable to us because it allows us to optimize our website in a targeted manner by analyzing user behavior on our website.
Legal basis
In order to use the tool, we require your consent, which is the legal basis pursuant to Section 25 (1) TTDSG and Article 6 (1) (a) (consent). We obtain this consent through our previously described consent tool and also document this.
We also have a legitimate interest in providing our online service, so we rely here on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) (legitimate interest).
Nevertheless, we only use this tool if you have given us your consent to do so.

We have integrated Gravatar on our website. Gravatar is operated by Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA.
Gravatar stands for Globally Recognized Avatar, an avatar that can be recognized worldwide. Here, the “Gravatar” must be created only once. By linking it to the e-mail address, the gravatar is inserted atomatically when it is entered in a comment area, even on other online presences. In this process, personal data such as the user’s IP address may be transmitted. Here, we process personal data only as long as it is necessary. As soon as the purpose of the data processing has been fulfilled, the data will be blocked and deleted according to the standards of the local deletion concept, unless legal regulations prevent deletion. If a cookie is set on your computer, it will be automatically deleted after the expiration of the storage period, unless you have already deleted it yourself before the expiration of this time. Since we cannot exclude that servers in the USA are also used in this process, we would like to point out as a precaution that, according to the opinion of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), there is currently no adequate level of protection for the transfer of data to the USA and therefore various risks are associated with the legality and security of the data processing, including your data.
Processing purposes
Gravatar is suitable for us to make our online service better.
