The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is all data with which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in our privacy policy listed below this text.
The data processing on this website is carried out by The Wire UG. You can find our contact details in the legal notice of this website.
On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. This may, for example, be data that you enter into a contact form or in the app.
Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.
Part of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the app and the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.
You have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the rectification or deletion of this data. If you have given consent to data processing, you may revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of data protection.
When you visit this website, your browsing behavior can be statistically evaluated. This is done primarily with so-called analytics programs. You will find detailed information on these analytics programs in the following privacy policy.
We host our website with AWS. The provider is Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, 38 Avenue John F. Kennedy, 1855 Luxembourg (hereinafter AWS). When you visit our website, your personal data is processed on AWS servers. In this context, personal data may also be transmitted to AWS’s parent company in the USA. The data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. You can find details here: https://aws.amazon.com/de/blogs/security/aws-gdpr-data-processing-addendum/. For further information, please refer to AWS’s privacy policy: https://aws.amazon.com/de/privacy/?nc1=f_pr. The use of AWS is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the most reliable presentation possible of our website. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes 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 can be revoked at any time.
We, the operators of this site, take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of the data from access by third parties is not possible.
The responsible body for data processing is:
The Wire GmbH
Reudnitzer Str. 1 04103 Leipzig Germany

Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a legitimate request for erasure or revoke your 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 take place after these reasons cease to apply.
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data are 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. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing can also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the respective legal bases applicable in individual cases is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
We use, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or in other third countries that are not secure from a data protection perspective. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We point out that in these countries no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It therefore cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) may process, analyze and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
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, their place of work or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
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 THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS CONNECTED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (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, their place of work or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of these data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases: If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure. If we no longer need your personal data, but you require them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure. If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – apart from their storage – may 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 of a Member State.
The public website does not contain any personal data. It is hosted on Vercel (frontend) and AWS (content management/backend). Vercel allows us to host a very fast and dynamic website, while AWS is ideal for our simple content management requirements. We do not process any personal data on the website.
For our website we use exclusively the EU servers of Vercel, so that all data are processed within the European Union. This ensures an adequate level of data protection in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The use of EU servers ensures that your data are not transferred to third countries, such as the USA. This eliminates the potential risks to the lawfulness and security of data processing that could arise in the case of data transfer to third countries.
You can find more information about the processing of data by Vercel in Vercel’s Privacy Policy: https://vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
For logging into the paperlesspaper user account, we use Auth0. The service manages user accounts and login sessions. When logging in with an email address and password, the password is processed by Auth0 and is not transmitted to our application. If you choose “Sign in with Google”, your Google password is verified by Google; paperlesspaper receives the shared account information. The separate connection to Google Calendar takes place directly via Google’s authorization procedure. Details on Google sign-in and calendar access can be found in section 9.
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 or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from http:// to https:// and by the lock symbol in your browser bar. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
The use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for the transmission of advertising and informational material that has not been expressly requested is hereby rejected. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are: browser type and browser version, operating system used, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing computer, time of the server request, IP address. These data are not merged with other data sources. The collection of these data is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on these data without your consent. The processing of these data is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
We use the open-source live chat system Chatwoot as a self-hosted system on our website. Chatwoot uses cookies. These are text files that are stored on your computer to enable you to use the website’s live chat. When using it, the IP address is not stored. Chatwoot is only loaded when you click on the chat icon at the bottom right on the website or in the app on Start chat.
If you contact us by email or telephone, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on these data without your consent. The processing of these data is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time. The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties. The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke the consent given for the storage of the data, the email address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation. The data you have provided to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter with us or the newsletter service provider and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you cancel the newsletter or after the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this. After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, insofar as this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be 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 limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
We offer you the opportunity to register for our free newsletters via our website. For sending the newsletter, we use MailChimp, a service of The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 512 Means Street, Suite 404, Atlanta, GA 30318, USA, hereinafter referred to as “The Rocket Science Group”. In addition, The Rocket Science Group provides further data protection information at http://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/ . If you register for our newsletter, the data requested during the registration process, such as your email address and, optionally, your name and address, will be processed by The Rocket Science Group. In addition, your IP address as well as the date and time of your registration will be stored. As part of the further registration process, your consent to receive the newsletter will be obtained, the content will be described in detail, and reference will be made to this privacy policy. The newsletter subsequently sent via The Rocket Science Group also contains a so-called tracking pixel, also known as a “web beacon”. With the help of this tracking pixel, we can evaluate whether and when you have read our newsletter and whether you have followed any links contained in the newsletter. In addition to other technical data, such as the data of your IT system and your IP address, the data processed in this way is stored so that we can optimize our newsletter offering and better respond to the interests of our readers. The data is therefore used to increase the quality and attractiveness of our newsletter offering. The legal basis for sending the newsletter and for the analysis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent to receiving the newsletter at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. To do this, you only need to inform us of your revocation or use the unsubscribe link contained in each newsletter.
The web application is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS hosts the data https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/gdpr-center in Frankfurt am Main and is the market leader in cloud computing. We chose this provider because currently only AWS, together with some other American competitors, is able to offer the most modern cloud solutions.
To publish the app in the Apple App Store, it is transferred to Apple. In the app itself, only notifications are sent via Google Firebase. For security reasons, authentication takes place via an overlaid browser window, which means the actual app never sees the user's login data, but only a so-called token.
To publish the app in the Google Play Store, it is transferred to Google. In the app itself, only notifications are sent via Google Firebase. For security reasons, authentication takes place via an overlaid browser window, which means the actual app never sees the user's login data, but only a so-called token.
For user authentication and software development, we work together with wirewire GmbH. This makes it possible to display certain data from the Anabox smart on the paperlesspaper picture frame. The personal data required for login are processed in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and exchanged between the companies involved.
