Privacy Policy
1. introduction
With the following information, we would like to give you as a “data subject” an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection laws. It is generally possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you wish to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain your consent.
The processing of personal data, such as your name, address or e-mail address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to “GladiatorPLUS AG”. By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.
As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational
organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to send personal data to us by alternative means, for example
telephone or by post.
You can also take simple and easy-to-implement measures to protect yourself against unauthorized access to your data by third parties. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to give you some tips on how to handle your data securely:
- Protect your account (login, user or customer account) and your IT system (computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device) with secure passwords.
- Only you should have access to the passwords.
- Make sure that you only ever use your passwords for one account (login, user or customer account).
- Do not use one password for different websites, applications or online services.
- Especially when using publicly accessible IT systems or IT systems shared with other people, you should always log out after logging in to a website, application or online service.
- Passwords should consist of at least 12 characters and be chosen in such a way that they cannot be easily guessed. Therefore, they should not contain common everyday words, your own name or the names of relatives, but should contain upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters.

4. definition of terms
The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terms used in this privacy policy, including the following terms:
1. personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
identity of that natural person can be identified.
2 Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).
3. processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
4. restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.
5. profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.
6. pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
7 Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
8. recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
9. third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
10. consent
Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
5. legal basis of the processing
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR (in conjunction with. § Section 25 (1) TDDDG (formerly TTDSG)) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.
services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d) GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47).
company (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).
6. transfer of data to third parties
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:
1. you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR,
2. the disclosure is permitted in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
3. in the event that there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR, and
4. this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
In order to protect your data and, if necessary, to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent pursuant to Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a)
GDPR as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries. This may not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:
1. you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR,
2. the disclosure is permitted in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
3. in the event that there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR, and
4. this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
As part of the processing operations described in this privacy policy, personal data may be transferred to the USA. Companies in the USA only have an adequate level of data protection if they have certified themselves under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and thus the adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR applies. We have explicitly stated this for the service providers concerned in the privacy policy. In order to protect your data in all other
cases, we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. This may not apply in the case of data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision
in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR.
7. Technology
7.1 SSL/TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact requests that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” instead of “http://” in the address line of the browser and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.
7.2 Data collection when visiting the website
If you only use our website for information purposes, if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information or do not give your consent to processing that requires consent, we only collect the data that is technically necessary for the provision of the service. This is regularly data that your browser transmits to our server (“in so-called server log files”). Our website collects a range of general data and information each time you or an automated system accesses a page. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded:
1. browser types and versions used,
2. the operating system used by the accessing system
3. the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer)
4. the subpages which are accessed via an accessing system on our website
5. the date and time of access to the website
6. a shortened Internet Protocol address (anonymized IP address) and,
7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.
When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required in order to
1. deliver the content of our website correctly
2. optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,
3. ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
4. to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.
This collected data and information is therefore evaluated by us both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above.
7.3 Encrypted payment transactions
If there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g. the account number when issuing a direct debit authorization) after the conclusion of a fee-based contract, this data is required for payment processing.
Payment transactions via the usual means of payment (Visa/MasterCard or
direct debit) takes place exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. 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 line.
We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.
7.4 Hosting by Hetzner
We host our website at Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany (hereinafter referred to as Hetzner).
When you visit our website, your personal data (e.g. IP addresses in log files) are processed on Hetzner's servers.
The use of Hetzner is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the most reliable presentation, provision and security of our website.

9.7 Comment functions (with subscription)
For the comment function on this page, in addition to your comment, information about the time the comment was created, your e-mail address and, if you do not post anonymously, the user name you have chosen will be stored.
Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. As we do not check comments on our site before they are activated, we need this data in order to be able to take action against the author in the event of legal violations such as insults. As a user of our website, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to check whether you are the owner of the email address provided. You can unsubscribe from this function at any time via a link in the info mails. The information

The comments are stored on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
9.8 Blog comment function
We offer users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog located on our website. A blog is a portal on a website, usually open to the public, in which one or more people, called bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.
If you leave a comment in the blog published on this website, information about the time you entered the comment and the user name you selected will be saved and published in addition to the comments you leave. The IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) is also logged. The IP address is stored for security reasons and in the event that you have violated the rights of third parties or posted illegal content by posting a comment. The storage of this personal data is therefore in our own interest so that we can exculpate ourselves in the event of an infringement. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. This collected personal data will not be passed on to third parties unless such a transfer is required by law or serves our legal defense.
9.9 Application management / job exchange
We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment or service contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part prevent deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b), 88 GDPR i.V.m. § Section 26 (1) BDSG.
10. newsletter dispatch
10.1 Sending newsletters to existing customers
If you have provided us with your e-mail address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services to those already purchased from our range by e-mail. In accordance with Section 7 (3) UWG, we do not need to obtain separate consent from you for this. In this respect, data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If you have initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send you any emails. You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by sending a message to the controller named at the beginning. You will only incur transmission costs for this in accordance with the basic rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your e-mail address for advertising purposes will be discontinued immediately.
10.2 Advertising newsletter
On our website, you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to us when you subscribe to the newsletter can be seen from the input mask used for this purpose.
We inform our customers and business partners about our offers at regular intervals by means of a newsletter. You can only receive our company's newsletter if
1. you have a valid e-mail address and
2. you have registered to receive the newsletter.
For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address you entered for the first time for the newsletter mailing using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to check whether you, as the owner of the email address, have authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) of the IT system you are using at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of your e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves our legal protection.
The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter is used exclusively to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or in the event of a change in technical circumstances.
circumstances could be the case. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. You can cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on our website or to inform us of this in another way.
The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending the newsletter is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
10.3 Newsletter tracking
Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the company can recognize whether and when an e-mail was opened by you and which links in the e-mail were called up by you.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by us in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to your interests. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by us. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is automatically interpreted as a revocation.
Such an evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests in the display of personalized advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of our website.
11 Our activities in social networks
So that we can also communicate with you on social networks and inform you about our services, we are represented there with our own pages. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform for the processing operations triggered by this, within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR.
We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers.
As a precaution, we would therefore like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore be associated with data protection risks for you, as it may be more difficult to safeguard your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., and processing in social networks is often carried out directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behavior by the providers without us being able to influence this. If user profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the user behavior is assigned to your own social network member profile.
The described processing operations of personal data are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR. Art. 7 GDPR.
As we do not have access to the providers' databases, we would like to point out that it is best to assert your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider.

12.4 HubSpot
We use HubSpot functions on this website. The provider is HubSpot, Inc, 25 First Street, Cambridge, MA 02141, USA.
HubSpot tracks visitors to our website using browser cookies. Each time you access our website, HubSpot checks whether a HubSpot tracking cookie is set. If no such cookie is set on your browser, a HubSpot cookie will be set on your browser - provided you give your consent - which will record all our web pages that you subsequently access.
Please note the following with regard to HubSpot's handling of tracking cookies:
- Your visit to our websites will only be tracked using the HubSpot cookie if you have given your consent to the setting of the HubSpot cookie or all tracking cookies.
- If you fill out and submit one of the forms on our websites (e.g. a contact form) and have given your consent to the setting of the HubSpot cookie, HubSpot will assign your previous page views resulting from the tracking cookie to the form you have submitted.
- If you have already been in contact with us, your e-mail address sent via the form will be assigned to the information already stored by us.
- If you delete all your cookies or specifically the HubSpot cookies, you will be considered a new visitor to our website and a new cookie will be set. However, HubSpot automatically duplicates all form submissions received from the same email address, even if different browser cookies have been assigned to these submissions.
- Since cookies are only set once on a browser, submissions from two people who share a single computer are assigned to one and the same contact entry. This cookie deduplication ensures that if a contact person sends forms to your website from different email addresses, all submissions are assigned to a single contact entry in HubSpot.
- HubSpot assigns page views to a contact person when the contact person clicks on a link in a tracked marketing email that redirects to a page on which the HubSpot tracking code is installed.
These processing operations are only carried out if express consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. Your data will be stored until you withdraw your consent.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
