The protection of information relating to you, such as your name and your e-mail or IP address (so-called “Personal Data”), is important to us. Therefore, we operate this website and platform and offer our services in accordance with the applicable data protection laws, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (“BDSG”).
You will find below an explanation of how we handle your personal data in this context.
Responsible for this website is
CEEZER Software GmbH

The provision of this website requires the processing of personal data, such as your IP address and details on the relevant request.
You also have the option of contacting us (e.g., via email). For this purpose, we collect the personal data that you provide to us in each case.
(1) Legal basis
The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. The processing of certain personal data which is provided by you or on your behalf, including via the devices or browsers you are using, is technically necessary to provide this website in a secure manner. Also the use of contact information may be necessary to communicate with you. In each case the processing serves to fulfill our contractual obligations and to take necessary steps prior to entering into a contract.
(2) Recipient categories
We use service providers to operate our website and for our communication with you. The service providers process personal data partly outside the EU / EEA, in particular the USA (see the section "Data transfer to third countries” below). We transfer personal data to the service providers for this purpose.
(3) Duration of storage
We delete your personal data when they are no longer required to achieve the purpose of their processing. This is usually the case after the expiration of the statute of limitations, beginning with the end of the year in which the contractual relationship is terminated. After the statute of limitations has expired, your data will be blocked and deleted after expiry of the statutory retention obligations (see 3 – How long do we store your personal data?).
You can subscribe to our newsletter on our website by giving the appropriate consent. For this purpose, we collect the personal data that you enter in the registration form.
Furthermore, we evaluate the reach of our newsletter via our service provider HubSpot (see paragraph (iii) (4), Use of HubSpot below). This gives us the opportunity to analyze newsletter behavior.
(1) Legal basis
Your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. GDPR is the legal basis for our data processing. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. You can also unsubscribe via the opt-out function at the end of the respective newsletter.
(2) Recipient categories
We use Hubspot as part of our newsletter service. This service provider processes personal data partly outside the EU / EEA (see the section "Data transfer to third countries” below). We transfer personal data to this service provider for this purpose.
You have the option to register for our platform and create a user account. To do this, you can contact us directly or submit a request via the website. The registration and activation to the platform itself takes place separately.
(1) Legal basis
We process your personal data for the purpose of initiating and/or implementing a (potential) contractual relationship pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. In particular for your registration and the associated verification, it can be necessary for us to process certain personal data.
In addition, we may process your personal data on the basis of legal requirements pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c. GDPR and our overriding legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
(2) Weighing of interests
Where processing of your personal data as part of our verification procedure is not required pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. GDPR but only possible on the basis of our overriding legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f, we will weigh your confidentiality interests against our relevant interests, e.g., our interest in the operation of a platform, where all participants have been registered and verified. In such a case, your confidentiality interest may take a back seat. Otherwise, we would not be able to verify you in accordance with our requirements.
(3) Recipient categories
We use service providers as part of the registration process. These service providers process personal data partly outside the EU / EEA (see the section "Data transfer to third countries” below). We transfer personal data to service providers for this purpose.
The provision of this platform and its functions requires the processing of personal data, such as your IP address and details on requests made by users. This processing is necessary for the retrieval of the content presented on this platform (including its functions) and due to IT security measures.
In addition, our platform offers you various usage and functional options (e.g., the management of projects or the execution of transactions). We may also send you useful information, such as confirmation or status emails with respect to transactions.
(1) Legal basis
The processing of your personal data to provide this platform and its functions is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. It serves the fulfillment of our obligations pursuant to the terms agreed with our users.
Where the processing is not necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations, we may also base our processing on overriding legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, such as ensuring a stable website and platform environment as well as IT security.
(2) Weighing of interests
Where processing of your personal data is based on overriding legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f, we will weigh your confidentiality interests against our interests in providing this platform in a safe manner and to keep you informed on the status of your transactions. In such a case, your interest in confidentiality may take a back seat. Otherwise, we would not be able to provide you with this platform in its full functionality.
(3) Recipient categories
We use service providers as part of the provision of the platform. These service providers process personal data partly outside the EU / EEA (see below the section "Data transfer to third countries"). We transfer personal data to this service provider for this purpose.
As a buyer, you can start a chat with the respective seller on the corresponding project page. We have insight into the conversation.
(1) Legal basis
The processing of your personal data is based on the fulfillment of our contractual obligations in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. For your communication with the respective other user, it is necessary that we handle your respective personal data. In addition, processing may be based on our overriding legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. It may be necessary for us to document information exchanged, agreements made there and to prevent abuse pursued via the chat.
(2) Weighing of interests
Within the framework of the necessary weighing of interests, we weigh up your interest in confidentiality and our interest in providing the chat function and documenting the content of conversations. In each case, your interest in confidentiality may take a back seat. Otherwise, we would not be able to provide the chat function in a safe and responsible manner.
(3) Recipient categories
We use a service provider to provide the chat function. The service provider is based in the EU and has undertaken to ensure that every processing operation of personal data that is performed by or on behalf of it is carried out within the European Economic Area (EEA) or to or from countries that offer an adequate level of protection in accordance with the GDPR.
We reserve the right to sell our company and/or particular services in whole or in part. In doing so, we may transfer your personal data to a third party in the future, in compliance with the respective data protection requirements. We will inform you about this with a notice period of at least 30 days with reference to the consequences for further use of our services.
(1) Legal basis
The processing of your personal data in the context of such a sale is based on our overriding legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit f GDPR. For the processing of a corporate transaction, it may be necessary for us to transfer your respective personal data to a third party.
(2) Weighing of interests
As part of the necessary weighing of interests, we will always weigh up your confidentiality interests against our interests in a corresponding sale or comparable transaction and will only provide information which is strictly necessary to be provided. In such a case, your confidentiality interests may take a back seat. Otherwise we might not be able to carry out transactions which are material to our business.
We anonymize your personal data in order to evaluate it for statistical purposes.
(1) Legal basis
The processing of your personal data in the context of such anonymization is based on our overriding legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
(2) Weighing of interests
As part of the necessary weighing of interests, we have weighed up your interest in confidentiality against our interest in anonymization. Your interest in confidentiality takes a back seat, because the anonymization also serves the protection of your personal data. We would otherwise not be able to achieve such anonymization. The GDPR and the BDSG do not apply to properly anonymized data.
(3) Recipient categories
We may use service providers for the anonymization process and transmit personal data to these service providers for this purpose. These service providers are contractually obligated by us to exercise the same care in handling personal data as we do ourselves.
You can apply for a position with us via our website. For this purpose, we process the personal data that you provide to us as part of your application. Data transmitted as part of your application will be transferred using TLS encryption and stored in a database. You will receive a separate data privacy statement at the beginning of your application process which is also available here.
(1) Legal basis
We process your personal data for the initiation, implementation and execution of the corresponding contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. If you enter into an agreement with us, your data may also be processed in order to fulfill legal obligations pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, e.g., to meet applicable legal requirements regarding occupational health and safety, immigration law or tax regulation.
Where you grant us an explicit consent to process your data, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
(2) Recipient categories
We use the service provider Personio GmbH, Seidlstraße 3, 80335 Munich, Germany (“Personio“) to process your application. The database, where your application data is stored, is operated by Personio, which offers a human resource and applicant management software solution (https://www.personio.com/legal-notice/).
We use so-called “cookies” and analytics tools to provide our website and platform. Some providers we use also process your personal data outside the EU / EEA (see the section “Data transfer to third countries” below).
Cookies are data records that are stored by a web server on the user’s end device (e.g. computer, smartphone or tablet). When our platform is called up again with the same end device, these are sent back either to our platform ("First-Party Cookies") or to another website to which the cookie belongs ("Third-Party Cookies").
Switching off the cookie function in your browser does not in principle restrict the use of our platform and the services offered.
Legal bases
The legal basis for the use of technically necessary cookies/identifiers is the provision of the platform in accordance with the terms agreed with our users. This means that the technically necessary cookies serve to fulfill our contractual obligations pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.In addition, the use of technically necessary cookies/identifiers may be based on overriding legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In such a case, we will weigh your confidentiality interests against our interests in providing this platform in a safe and stable manner. In such a case, your interest in not being subject to technically necessary cookies may take a back seat. Otherwise, we might not be able to provide you with this platform in its full functionality and in a safe and stable manner.
The storage of information in your end device or the access to information already stored in your end device is absolutely necessary so that we can provide the telemedia service expressly requested by you as a user (Section 25 para. 2 No. 2 TTDSG; Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
Otherwise, the legal basis in each case is generally your consent, if no specific legal basis is mentioned under this lit. g (Section 25 para. 1 TTDSG; Article 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). We ask for your consent regarding the use of cookies when you first visit our website. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future, e.g. by deleting cookies set via the browser settings of your end device. You can review and change your consent status and find further information on cookies here. Please note that for technical reasons, this procedure only applies to the specific end device used.
You can also prevent the collection and processing of your personal data by preventing third-party cookies from being stored on your end device, by using the "Do-Not-Track" function of a supporting browser, by deactivating the execution of script code in your browser or by installing a script blocker such as Ghostery (https://www.ghostery.com) in your browser.
(1) Use of Usercentrics Cookiebot Consent Management Platform
We use the tool Cookiebot from the company Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich, Germany ("Usercentrics") to enable cookie management on our website.
(i) Legal Basis
We process your personal data within the scope of Usercentrics Cookiebot Consent Managements on the basis of our overriding legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
(ii) Weighing of interests
As part of the necessary weighing of interests, we have weighed your interest in confidentiality and our interest in using Usercentrics Cookiebot Consent Managements in each case. Your interest in confidentiality takes a back seat, because Usercentrics serves to ensure that your interests are acknowledged and your decision regarding cookies can be retrieved and implemented. Otherwise, we would not be able to use an efficient cookie consent management tool.
(iii) We use Usercentrics as a data processor. For this purpose, we transmit personal data to Usercentrics. Usercentrics is contractually obliged by us to exercise the same care in handling personal data as we do ourselves.

(2) Use of Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on our platform, an analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").
Google Analytics uses cookies that are stored on your end device to help the platform to analyze how users use the platform. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the platform is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, by activating IP anonymization, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within the EU / EEA.
Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the platform, compiling reports on platform activity and providing us with other services relating to platform activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of our platform. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the platform (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents the collection of your data during future visits to this platform: Disable Google Analytics.
(3) Use of Google Tag Manager
We use the Google Tag Manager (https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/)of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
With the Google Tag Manager, tags of Google’s services and of third-party providers can be managed and bundled and embedded on an online presence. Tags are small code elements on an online presence that are used, among other things, to measure visitor numbers and behaviour, to record the impact of online advertising and social channels, to use remarketing and targeting of groups, and to test and optimize online presences. When a user visits the online presence, the current tag configuration is sent to the user’s browser. It contains instructions on which tags should be triggered. Google Tag Manager takes care of triggering other tags, which in turn may collect data. Information on this can be found in the passages on the use of the corresponding services in this privacy policy. Google Tag Manager does not access this data.
Further information on Google Tag Manager can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/faq.html and in Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
You can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the online presence (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
You can deactivate the use of your personal data by Google using the following link: https://adssettings.google.de. Further information on objection and removal options vis-à-vis Google can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?gl=DE&hl=de.
(4) Use of HubSpot
We use functions of HubSpot Inc, 2nd Floor, 25 First Street, Cambridge, MA 02141, USA ("HubSpot").
This is an integrated software solution that we use to cover various aspects of our online marketing. These include, but are not limited to: Email marketing (newsletters as well as automatic mailings, e.g. to provide downloads), reporting (especially traffic sources, accesses, etc.), contact management (especially user segmentation & CRM).
HubSpot sets a cookie on your end device. Personal data can be stored and analyzed, especially the activity of the user (especially which pages have been visited and which elements have been clicked on), device and browser information (especially the IP address and the operating system), data about the advertisements displayed and also data from advertising partners.

(5) Use of LinkedIn Pixel
We use functions of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland ("LinkedIN"), namely the “Insight Tag”.
The Insight Tag pixel can be used to track user behavior after they have been redirected to the CEEZER website by clicking on a LinkedIn ad. This allows us to track the effectiveness of LinkedIn ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous for us, i.e. we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, the data is stored and processed by LinkedIn. LinkedIn can connect this data to LinkedIn accounts and also use the collected information for their own advertising purposes, according to LinkedIn’s data usage policy. You have the option to prohibit LinkedIn and its affiliates from displaying advertisements and you can edit the settings for LinkedIn’s ads using the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/advertising. More information on the LinkedIN Insight Tag can be found here. LinkedIn’s privacy policy is available here.
