These may include, but are not limited to, IP addresses, contact requests, metadata and communications, contract information, contact information, names, web page access, and other data generated through a web site.

The external hosting serves the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and in the interest of secure, fast, and efficient provision of our online services by a professional provider (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user's end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. This consent can be revoked at any time.

Our host(s) will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfil its performance obligations and to follow our instructions with respect to such data.

We are using the following host(s):

Framer B.V. (website building and hosting) The Netherlands

Framer uses a cloud infrastructure (including sub-processors) for delivering websites (e.g., via AWS services).

Framer hosts websites with Amazon Web Services, including servers in the USA. Framer B.V. transfers data to its sub-processors on the basis of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or, where that does not apply, the EU standard contractual clauses (Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914), as stated in its data processing agreement.

Data processing We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract mandated by data privacy laws that guarantees that they process personal data of our website visitors only based on our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

General information and mandatory information

Data protection The operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Hence, we handle your personal data as confidential information and in compliance with the statutory data protection regulations and this Data Protection Declaration. Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal information will be collected. Personal data comprises data that can be used to personally identify you. This Data Protection Declaration explains which data we collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the information is collected.

We herewith advise you that the transmission of data via the Internet (i.e., through e-mail communications) may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data against third-party access.

Information about the responsible party (referred to as the "controller" in the GDPR)

The data processing controller on this website is:

Gedyon Ageba Lychenerstraße 7 10437 Berlin Phone: +4917683920209 E-mail: hello@flightlabs.io

The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing of personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Storage duration Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion 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., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

General information on the legal basis for the data processing on this website If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9(1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on § 25(1) TDDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfillment 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, if your data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Information on data transfers to third countries (e.g., the USA) We use service providers whose processing locations may be in countries outside the EU/EEA (“third countries”). Where the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision for a third country or a transfer mechanism applies (e.g., certified participation in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework), transfers are carried out on that basis. Otherwise, we use appropriate safeguards, in particular the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) adopted by the European Commission and, where appropriate, additional technical and organizational measures.

Please note that despite safeguards, third-country transfers can be associated with residual risks (e.g., access requests by authorities under local law). Details for specific tools and providers are provided in the relevant sections of this privacy policy.

Automated decision-making We do not use automated decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.

Revocation of your consent to the processing of data A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR) IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED 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).

Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.

Right to data portability You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.

Information about, rectification and eradication of data Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to demand information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data at any time. You may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradicated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.

Right to demand processing restrictions You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
• In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data instead of demanding the eradication of this data.
• If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
• If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.

SSL and/or TLS encryption For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from "http://" to "https://" and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line. If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Rejection of unsolicited e-mails We herewith object to the use of contact information published in conjunction with the mandatory information to be provided in our Site Notice to send us promotional and information material that we have not expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve the express right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, for instance via SPAM messages.

Recording of data on this website

Cookies Our Internet pages use so-called "Cookies". Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you yourself delete them or automatic deletion is executed by your web browser.

Many cookies are technically necessary, since certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., security and basic site functions).

Technically necessary cookies Where the storage of information on your end device or access to information already stored on your end device is strictly necessary for providing a service explicitly requested by you, this is carried out on the basis of § 25(2) TDDDG. Any subsequent processing of personal data (if applicable) is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in the secure and technically error-free provision of our website) and, where relevant, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Non-essential cookies (e.g., analytics) Non-essential cookies and comparable technologies are used only with your consent on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Cookie consent banner (Cookiebot) We use the consent management tool Cookiebot to ask for your consent to non-essential cookies and scripts, and to record your choice. The provider is Usercentrics A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark. When you visit our website, Cookiebot stores your choice in a cookie on your device (named CookieConsent), so we do not have to ask you again on every page. To be able to show and prove your choice, Cookiebot processes technical data, in particular your IP address. According to the provider, the consent data is hosted in the EU (Microsoft, Ireland, with a fail-over location in the Netherlands), and the provider erases end-user data on an ongoing basis after 12 months. The provider also uses your IP address to determine from which country you visit our website, so that it can show the right banner; for this it uses a service provider whose database is located in the USA. The legal basis is our legal obligation to be able to prove your consent (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR in connection with Art. 7(1) GDPR) and § 25(2) TDDDG for the cookie that stores your choice. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time with "Cookie settings" in the footer of every page.

How consent controls Google Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are not loaded when you open our website. We load them only after you have accepted statistics cookies in the banner. If you decline, nothing is sent to Google. If you withdraw your consent later, we delete the Google Analytics cookies and stop loading these services.

Google Analytics (GA4)

Use of Google Analytics This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. In this process, the website operator receives a variety of usage data, such as page views, session duration, interactions/events, device information, approximate location (derived from network information) and other similar data.

Legal basis The use of Google Analytics is based on your consent according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You can give or revoke your consent at any time through our cookie consent banner.

Cookies / identifiers If consent is granted, Google Analytics sets the cookie _ga and a cookie named ga followed by the identifier of our Google Analytics property. By default, both expire after 2 years. They tell your visits apart (a random identifier) and keep session state. Browsers may shorten the lifetime of such cookies (for example, Safari after 7 days).

IP processing note (GA4) According to Google’s documentation for GA4, Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses.

Data processing We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics.

Data transfer to the USA Google may transfer your data to servers in the United States. Google states it participates in relevant transfer frameworks (e.g., EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework) and/or uses Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) where required.

Opt-Out You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by rejecting analytics cookies via our cookie consent banner or by withdrawing your consent at any time via the banner settings.

Google Tag Manager (GTM)

Use of Google Tag Manager We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or statistics tools and other technologies on our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, does not store cookies, and does not carry out independent analyses. It only manages and plays out the tools integrated via it. However, Google Tag Manager does collect your IP address, which may be transferred to the parent company of Google in the United States.

Legal basis We load Google Tag Manager only after you have consented to statistics cookies in the cookie banner. The legal basis is therefore your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG). You can withdraw it at any time with "Cookie settings" in the footer.

Contact form / inquiry submissions

If you contact us via the contact form or by e-mail, we process the information you provide (e.g., name, e-mail address, company details, your role, and the content of your message) in order to respond to your request and, where applicable, to initiate or perform a contract relationship.

Required information / consequences of not providing it The fields marked as required (in particular your e-mail address and the content of your inquiry) are necessary so we can process and respond to your request. If you do not provide the required information, we may not be able to respond or may not be able to respond properly.

Legal basis
• If your request is aimed at concluding or performing a contract (including pre-contractual measures), the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
• In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in efficiently processing and answering inquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Recipients / service providers We use service providers (processors) to operate our website and handle inquiries. In particular:
• Hosting: Framer B.V. (see section “Hosting”).
• E-mail and inquiry handling: The form sends your message to us by e-mail. Our e-mail provider is Zoho (Zoho Corporation B.V., Beneluxlaan 4B, 3527 HT Utrecht, Netherlands, which according to Zoho runs its data centres in the EU; Zoho also states that data may be processed in the USA and other countries on the basis of EU standard contractual clauses). Only we read your inquiry.
• Form delivery: The form is provided by our website provider Framer B.V. (see "Hosting"). Framer does not store the content of your message permanently; it passes it on to us by email, using an email delivery service (Loops) and temporary queue storage with Amazon Web Services. Messages that cannot be delivered may remain in that queue for up to 14 days before they are deleted.

We do not sell your data and do not disclose inquiry content to third parties for their own purposes.

Data transfer to third countries Depending on configuration and the providers involved, data may be processed within and/or outside the EU/EEA (e.g., the USA). Where required, appropriate safeguards apply (e.g., EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework participation and/or Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)). Further details are provided in the relevant sections of this privacy policy.

Storage duration We store inquiry data for as long as necessary to handle your request (including follow-up questions). We delete inquiries that do not lead to a contract after 12 months, unless statutory retention obligations or other legally permissible reasons require continued storage.

Appointment scheduling / external links

Booking page When you book a call, you use a booking page provided by Google (Google Calendar appointment scheduling). The details you enter there, such as your name, e-mail address and chosen time, are processed by Google and used by us to arrange and hold the call. The legal basis is the steps prior to entering into a contract at your request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and our legitimate interest in efficient scheduling (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Google may process data in the USA; see the Google sections above for the safeguards.

Other external links Our website may contain other external links. When you click such a link, you will be redirected to the respective provider. From that moment, the provider processes data under its own responsibility. Please consult the provider's privacy policy for details.
