You can reach our data protection officer by sending a mail to dpo@hatched.team.
 
The trust of all visitors, customers, and users, the security of your data and the protection of your privacy are of central importance to us. Your personal data will be treated confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations and this data protection declaration. The definitions of the terms used (e.g. "personal data" or "processing") can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.
When you view and use our site without registering or otherwise explicitly providing us with information, we process the data that is transmitted to us with each request from your browser (see "Log data" below). If you expressly transmit personal data to us (e.g. via our contact form), this is only done for the purpose of the enquiry or the respective order. We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet can never be completely protected against access by third parties.
 
Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis to obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of their data. As for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract of which the data subject is party, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual activities. When it is necessary to process personal data in order to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If the processing of data is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or that of a third party, and the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the interest of the former, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR will serve as the legal basis for the processing of data.
​
Data removal and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or restricted as soon as the purpose of its storage has been accomplished. The personal data of the data subject will be erased or restricted as soon as the purpose of its storage has been accomplished. Additional storage may occur if it was provided for by the European or national legislator within the EU regulations, law, or other relevant regulations to which the data controller is subject. Restriction or erasure of the data also takes place when the storage period stipulated by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to prolong the storage of the data for the purpose of concluding or fulfilling the respective contract.
 
Your rights
You have the right to obtain information about your personal data stored by us, and, if applicable, the right to correct, restrict processing, or request the removal of this data. In accordance with the legal requirements outlined in Art. 21 GDPR, you have the right to object to the future processing of your personal data at any time. Specifically, you may object to processing for direct marketing purposes. Additionally, you are entitled to data portability. The data controller will provide you with a copy of the personal data that is the subject of the processing. Freedoms and rights of other persons shall not be affected. You have the right to lodge a complaint about the processing of your personal data by us with the data protection supervisory authority.

We utilize the option of featuring our company on LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company for communication and information exchange with (potential) customers.

These clauses mandate Calendly to adhere to the EU's data protection standards when processing relevant data outside the EU, and they are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission, which can be found at https://germany.representation.ec.europa.eu/index_de.

Enquiries via e-mail
If you contact us via email or telephone, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (such as your name and the details of your inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of addressing and fulfilling your request. We do not disclose this data without your explicit consent. The processing of this data is conducted in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling the inquiries directed to us, as per Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, or on your consent, as per Art. 6 (1) GDPR if explicitly requested; you can revoke this consent at any time. The data you transmit to us through contact requests will be retained by us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions, particularly legal retention periods, remain unaffected.
​
Contact form
When you use our contact form on our Website, we collect the following data from you:
  • Your name;
  • Your email address
The data will only be used to answer your questions. The data will not be passed on to third parties unless this is expressly stated in this privacy policy. We process the aforementioned data in order to answer the questions or enquiries submitted via the contact form. The legal basis of the data processing is therefore our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
​
​
Encryption by SSL
For security purposes, we employ SSL encryption (Secure Sockets Layer) on our website. This safeguard ensures the protection of transmitted data, preventing unauthorized access by third parties. Successful encryption can be identified by observing that the protocol name in the browser's status bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and that a closed lock symbol becomes visible.
 
Objection to unauthorized advertising by email
As part of the imprint obligation in accordance with § 5 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG), we have published general contact information, including an email address, on our website. We explicitly object to the use of this contact information for the unsolicited sending of information material, advertising, or spam emails that we have not explicitly requested.
