General
As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This refers to all data that provides information about you and with which you can be identified. In this privacy policy, we would like to explain to you how, for what purpose, and on what legal basis we process your data.
The entity responsible for data processing on this website and in our company is:
Jarkas
Ludwigsfelderstrasse 18
12629 Berlin

General Information
SSL or TLS Encryption
When you enter data on websites, place online orders, or send emails over the internet, you must always be aware that unauthorized third parties may access your data. There is no complete protection against such access. However, we do everything we can to protect your data as best as possible and to close security gaps as far as it is possible for us.
An important protection mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize the encryption by the lock icon in front of the entered web address in your browser and by the fact that our web address starts with https:// instead of http://.
Encrypted Payment Transactions
Payment data, such as account or credit card numbers, are particularly sensitive. Therefore, payment transactions with common payment methods are also carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection.
How long do we store your data?
In some places in this privacy policy, we inform you about how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf store your data. If such information is missing, we store your data until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, you object to the data processing, or you revoke your consent to the data processing.
In the event of an objection or revocation, however, we may continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions is met:
- We have compelling legitimate reasons for continuing the data processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms (only in the case of an objection to data processing; if the objection is directed against direct advertising, we cannot present legitimate reasons).
- The data processing is necessary to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (does not apply if your objection is directed against direct advertising).
- We are legally obliged to retain your data.
In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the condition(s) no longer apply.
Data Transfer to the USA
We also use tools on our website from companies that transfer your data to the USA, store it there, and possibly further process it. The European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This determines that the USA ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data from the EU that is transferred to US companies. This decision is based on new guarantees and measures introduced by the USA to meet data protection requirements. The adequacy decision includes, among other things, restrictions and guarantees regarding the access of US intelligence services to the data. Binding guarantees have been introduced to limit the access of US intelligence services to what is necessary and proportionate to protect national security. In addition, enhanced oversight of the activities of US intelligence services has been established to ensure that the restrictions on surveillance activities are adhered to. An independent redress mechanism has also been established to handle and resolve complaints from European citizens regarding access to their data. The EU-US Data Privacy Framework thus allows European companies to transfer data to certified US companies without having to introduce additional data protection guarantees. You can view a list of all certified companies at the following link: [https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search](https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search)
A change in the European Commission's decision cannot be ruled out.
Your Rights
Objection to Data Processing
IF YOU READ IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS FOR PROCESSING YOUR DATA AND THEREFORE BASE THIS ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 SENTENCE 1 LIT. F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS UNDER ART. 21 GDPR. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THE MENTIONED PROVISION. THE PREREQUISITE IS THAT YOU PROVIDE REASONS FOR THE OBJECTION THAT ARISE FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. NO REASON IS REQUIRED IF THE OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING.
THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE OBJECTION IS THAT WE MAY NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS DOES NOT APPLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS IS MET:
- WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE REASONS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS.
- THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY TO ASSERT, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS.
THE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST DIRECT ADVERTISING OR PROFILING CONNECTED WITH IT.
Further Rights
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are based on your consent. You give this, for example, by ticking a corresponding box in online forms before sending the form or by allowing certain cookies when you visit our website. You can revoke your consent at any time without giving reasons (Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR). From the time of revocation, we may no longer process your data. The only exception: We are legally obliged to retain the data for a certain period. Such retention periods exist, in particular, in tax and commercial law.
Right to Complain to the Supervisory Authority
If you believe that we have violated the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority under Art. 77 GDPR. You can contact a supervisory authority in the member state of your residence, your workplace, or the place of the alleged violation. The right to complain exists in addition to administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
Data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract must be provided to you or a third party in a common machine-readable format upon request. We can only transfer the data to another controller if this is technically feasible.
Right to Information, Deletion, and Correction
You have the right under Art. 15 GDPR to obtain free information about which personal data we have stored about you, where the data comes from, to whom we transmit the data, and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have the right to correction (Art. 16 GDPR), and under the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR, you can request that we delete the data.
Right to Restriction of Processing
In certain situations, you can request under Art. 18 GDPR that we restrict the processing of your data. The data may then—apart from storage—only be processed as follows:
- With your consent
- To assert, exercise, or defend legal claims
- To protect the rights of another natural or legal person
- For reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state
The right to restriction of processing exists in the following situations:
- You have contested the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, and we need time to verify this. The right exists for the duration of the review.
- The processing of your personal data is unlawful or was unlawful in the past. The right exists as an alternative to deletion of the data.
- We no longer need your personal data, but you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims. The right exists as an alternative to deletion of the data.
- You have objected under Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, and now your and our interests must be weighed against each other. The right exists as long as the outcome of the weighing is not yet clear.

Data Collection on This Website
Use of Cookies
Our website places cookies on your device. These are small text files that serve different purposes. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function at all (necessary cookies). Others are needed to perform certain actions or functions on the site (functional cookies). For example, it would not be possible to use the advantages of a shopping cart in an online shop without cookies. Still other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or optimize advertising measures. When we use third-party services on our website, e.g., to process payment transactions, these companies may also place cookies on your device when you visit the website (so-called third-party cookies).
How do we process your data?
Session cookies are only stored on your device for the duration of a session. As soon as you close the browser, they disappear on their own. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device if you do not delete them yourself. This can, for example, lead to your user behavior being analyzed permanently. You can influence how your browser handles cookies through the settings:
- Do you want to be informed when cookies are set?
- Do you want to generally exclude cookies or for certain cases?
- Do you want cookies to be automatically deleted when you close the browser?
If you disable or do not allow cookies, the functionality of the website may be limited.
If we use cookies from other companies or for analysis purposes, we inform you about this in this privacy policy. We also ask for your consent in this regard when you visit our website.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our online offerings can be used by visitors without technical problems and that all desired functions are available to them. The storage of necessary and functional cookies on your device is therefore based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. All other cookies are set on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR, provided you give us your consent. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. If you have consented to the placement of necessary and functional cookies, the storage of these cookies is also based exclusively on your consent.
Server Log Files
Server log files record all requests and accesses to our website and log error messages. They also include personal data, in particular your IP address. However, this is anonymized by the provider after a short time, so we cannot assign the data to your person. The data is automatically transmitted by your browser to our provider.
How do we process your data?
Our provider stores the server log files to track activities on our website and to identify errors. The files contain the following data:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address (possibly anonymized)
We do not merge this data with other data but use it only for statistical analysis and to improve our website.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website runs without errors. It is also our legitimate interest to obtain an anonymized overview of the accesses to our website. The data processing is therefore lawful under Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

This way, the service learns that the newsletter has been opened and registers all clicks on the links contained therein. In addition, Mailchimp collects technical information such as the time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time.
How long do we store your data?
After you unsubscribe, the data will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list. Under certain circumstances, we may also add your email address to a blacklist; this is necessary, for example, if we have received an objection to advertising from you. The legal basis for storage in this case is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
In addition, we reserve the right to delete the data at any time after the purpose of collection has ceased to exist or at our own discretion.
