3. General Information and Mandatory Disclosures
Data Protection The operators of this website 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 personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for, as well as how and for what purpose this occurs.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.
Notice on the Responsible Party The responsible party for data processing on this website is:
Julius Hollmann Im Stumpf 5, 28307 Bremen, Germany Phone: +49 176 97827632 E-Mail: julius@merveno.com
The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).
Retention Period Unless a more specific retention period has been stated in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will occur once those reasons no longer apply.
General Notes on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website Where you have given consent to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR where special categories of data under Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. Where you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), processing is additionally based on § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Where your data is required for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Where processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation, it is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The specific legal bases applicable in individual cases are set out in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.
Recipients of Personal Data In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to those external parties. We only share personal data where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. sharing data with tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest in sharing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the transfer. When using processors, we only share personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Withdrawal of Consent to Data Processing Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
WHERE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING RELIES CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR).
WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority In the event of infringements 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, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, either to yourself or to a third party. Where you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Access, Rectification and Deletion Within the framework of applicable legal 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 rectification or deletion of this data. For this and other questions on the subject of personal data, you may contact us at any time.
Right to Restriction of Processing You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
If the processing of your personal data was or is being carried out unlawfully, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
Where processing has been restricted, such personal data may — with the exception of storage — only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise or defence 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.
SSL/TLS Encryption For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content — such as orders or enquiries you send to us as the website operator — this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can identify an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
4. Data Collection on This Website
Enquiries by Email, Phone, or Fax If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data arising from it (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not share this data without your consent.
Processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.
The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.
5. Newsletter
Newsletter Data If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we require an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not share it with third parties.
The processing of data entered in the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw your consent to the storage of your data, your email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "Unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Data stored with us for the purpose of newsletter subscription will be retained until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after unsubscription or once the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter list at our own discretion within the framework of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Data stored with us for other purposes remains unaffected.
After your removal from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider where necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used solely for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You may object to storage where your interests override our legitimate interest.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority In the event of infringements 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, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, either to yourself or to a third party. Where you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Access, Rectification and Deletion Within the framework of applicable legal 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 rectification or deletion of this data. For this and other questions on the subject of personal data, you may contact us at any time.
Right to Restriction of Processing You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
If the processing of your personal data was or is being carried out unlawfully, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
Where processing has been restricted, such personal data may — with the exception of storage — only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise or defence 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.
SSL/TLS Encryption For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content — such as orders or enquiries you send to us as the website operator — this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can identify an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
4. Data Collection on This Website
Enquiries by Email, Phone, or Fax If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data arising from it (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not share this data without your consent.
Processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.
The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.
5. Newsletter
Newsletter Data If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we require an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not share it with third parties.
The processing of data entered in the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw your consent to the storage of your data, your email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "Unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Data stored with us for the purpose of newsletter subscription will be retained until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after unsubscription or once the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter list at our own discretion within the framework of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Data stored with us for other purposes remains unaffected.
After your removal from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider where necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used solely for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You may object to storage where your interests override our legitimate interest.
