Privacy Statement
The protection of your data is important to us. I - the developer of the website - make sure in my private life to protect my data by using alternative search engines for example.
Why is this privacy statement so long? Do you store so much data? As you can read in this document, we limit the data processing to the essentials: in particular anonymous analysis, contact possibilities and user accounts. In case of orders there are legal obligations for storing data. The list is also long because we may use external providers (e.g. external content such as Youtube videos, payment providers) on this website. We want to give you the opportunity to inform yourself comprehensively about data processed by us.
Insofar data is processed using this website, the data protection is carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The responsible person (including address and contact data) can be found in the impressum. At the bottom of this page you will find and overview of important terms and your rights (especially your right to object, which you can use to prevent processing due to legitimate interests).
You are processing yourself personal data of other users when using 60tools? In general, we recommend to reduce the use of personal data to a minimum. However, if such processing is necessary for your purposes, you can find a data processing agreement here, which we subject ourselves to.
The data processing by is not used for solely automated individual decision-making.
