We generally only process personal data of our users to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website and our content and services, or where we are legally obliged to do so. Processing regularly takes place only with the consent of the user (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), or on the basis of legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), unless other legal provisions preclude this. Where consent is obtained for processing operations, it may be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
Personal data of users is deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply, provided no statutory retention obligations preclude this and no other provision of this policy states otherwise.
You have the following rights with respect to your personal data processed by us: right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR), and the right to object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR). Where processing is based on consent, you may revoke it at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority regarding our processing of your personal data (Art. 77 GDPR), typically the authority of the German federal state in which our business is based — for Baden-Württemberg: the Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Baden-Württemberg.
This website is hosted on our own server infrastructure, which we operate ourselves; no external hosting provider is involved. When you visit our website, our server automatically collects information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits. These are: IP address, date and time of the request, content of the request (specific page), access status/HTTP status code, amount of data transferred, the website from which the request originates (referrer URL), browser, operating system and its interface. This data is collected solely to ensure smooth and secure operation of the website and to improve our offering, and is not combined with other data sources. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the technically error-free and secure operation of the website). The retention period for this data is limited to 30 days, after which it is deleted. As the website is operated exclusively on the controller's own infrastructure, no data processing by an external third party takes place in this respect.
Our website does not use tracking or marketing cookies. Only your language selection (German/English) is stored, for technical reasons, in your browser's local storage (local storage, key "qtx-lang") so that the website is displayed in the last-selected language on a return visit. This information remains exclusively in your browser and is not transmitted to us or to third parties. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and/or Sec. 25(2) No. 2 TTDSG (technically necessary storage); no consent is required for this.
Our contact form does not transmit the data you enter (name, email address, message) to a server; it merely opens your own, locally installed email program with a pre-filled message addressed to info@qualitexglobal.de. We only receive your data once you actually send this email via your email program. If you contact us this way, by phone, or directly by email, we process the data you provide (including name, contact details, and message content) solely to process and respond to your inquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where the inquiry serves to initiate or perform a contract, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to inquiries). The data is deleted once it is no longer required to process your inquiry, and at the latest after expiry of statutory retention periods.
To statistically evaluate visits to our website, we use the analytics service Umami in its cloud variant, provided by Umami Software, Inc. via the domain cloud.umami.is. Umami was specifically designed with data minimization in mind: the service does not set cookies, does not use cross-device identifiers, and does not create user profiles that could be used to identify individual visitors or recognize them across multiple websites. The following is collected and evaluated exclusively in anonymized, aggregated form: pages viewed, referring website, browser type, operating system, device type, and the approximate country of origin of the visit. According to the provider, no personal or identifying data such as full IP addresses is stored.
As no cookies are set and no identifying data is stored, no consent under Sec. 25 TTDSG is currently required for the use of Umami. Processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in the needs-based design and continuous optimization of our website. As Umami Software, Inc. is an external service provider, data processing takes place within the framework of a data processing agreement or on the basis of appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 44 et seq. GDPR.
Umami Software, Inc. is based in San Francisco, California, USA, and uses subprocessors for operating its cloud services, some based in the USA and some in the EU. Data processing therefore also takes place in a third country (USA) within the meaning of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR. By using Umami Cloud, Umami's data processing agreement (Data Processing Addendum) applies automatically; according to the provider, no separate signature is required. For the transfer of data to the USA, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR) are incorporated into this agreement as a safeguard.

For a consistent display of typefaces, this website uses web fonts (Fraunces, Inter, Sora). These fonts are hosted locally on our own web server and are served exclusively from there. No connection to Google's servers or those of any other third party is established, and no data (in particular no IP address) is transmitted to third parties.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock icon in your browser line.
We reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements, or to reflect changes to our services in the privacy policy. The new privacy policy will then apply on your next visit.
