Some of the data is collected to ensure the website is provided without errors. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.
You have the right at any time to receive information, free of charge, about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request that this data be corrected or deleted. If you have given your consent to data processing, you may revoke this consent at any time for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
You are welcome to contact us at any time regarding this and any other questions about data protection.
When you visit this website, your surfing behavior may be statistically evaluated. This is done primarily using what are known as analysis programs.
Detailed information on these analysis programs can be found in the privacy policy below.
We host the content of our website with the following provider:
The provider is IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany (“IONOS”). When you visit our website, IONOS collects various log files, including your IP addresses. For details, please see IONOS's privacy policy: https://www.ionos.de/terms-gtc/terms-privacy .
The use of IONOS is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the most reliable possible presentation of our website. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG), insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time.
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract mandated by data protection law that ensures the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various pieces of personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
Please note that data transmitted over the internet (e.g., via email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
The party responsible for data processing on this website is:
Miriam Hartz
Rohrbachstraße 35, 60389 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Phone: 069/90 73 86 05, Email: miriam-hartz@studio-connect.de
The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (such as names, email addresses, etc.).
Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for its processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place once these grounds cease to apply.
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is additionally based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing additionally takes place on the basis of Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time. Where your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. We also process your data where this is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation, on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may further be based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in third countries not recognized as safe under data protection law, as well as US-based tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in third countries that are not recognized as safe.
We note that the USA, as a safe third country, in principle has a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. A transfer of data to the USA is permissible if the recipient holds a certification under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has other appropriate additional safeguards in place. Information on transfers to third countries, including the recipients of the data, can be found in this privacy policy.
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if some other legal basis permits the data transfer. When using data processors, we only pass on our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint controller agreement is concluded.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of any data processing carried out prior to revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. This right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
Within the scope of applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, where applicable, a right to have this data corrected or deleted. You are welcome to contact us at any time regarding this and any other questions relating to personal data.
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may — with the exception of its storage — only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser line.
If SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable certain services of third-party companies to be integrated within websites (e.g., cookies for handling payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audiences) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG); consent may be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

The data you send us via contact requests remains with us until you ask us to delete it, you revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for which the data was stored no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.

The texts, images, and videos provided on this website may have been created in whole or in part with the help of artificial intelligence. We place great value on the quality and accuracy of our content; however, we accept no liability for any errors or inconsistencies that may result from the use of AI-generated content. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or comments.
We collect, process, and use personal customer and contract data for the purpose of establishing, structuring the content of, and amending our contractual relationships. We only collect, process, and use personal data relating to the use of this website (usage data) to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill for it. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
The customer data collected is deleted after the order has been completed or the business relationship has ended and any applicable statutory retention periods have expired. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
For communication with our customers, we use, among other things, online conferencing tools. The specific tools we use are listed below. If you communicate with us via video or audio conference over the internet, your personal data is collected and processed by us and by the provider of the respective conferencing tool.
The conferencing tools collect all data that you provide/use in order to use the tools (email address and/or your telephone number). The conferencing tools also process the duration of the conference, the start and end time of participation in the conference, the number of participants, and other “contextual information” relating to the communication process (metadata).
Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all technical data required to carry out the online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speaker, and the type of connection.
If content is exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise provided within the tool, it is likewise stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes, in particular, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared during use of the service.
Please note that we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conferencing tools can be found in the privacy policies of the respective tools used, which we have listed below this text.
The conferencing tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners, or to offer certain services to our customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves to generally simplify and speed up communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Where consent has been requested, the relevant tools are used on the basis of this consent; consent may be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
Data collected directly by us via the video and conferencing tools is deleted from our systems as soon as you ask us to delete it, you revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
We have no influence over the storage period of your data that is stored by the operators of the conferencing tools for their own purposes. For details on this, please contact the operators of the conferencing tools directly.
