Privacy policy

Thank you for your interest in Loran GmbH ("Loran"). Privacy is of a particularly high priority for the management of Loran. The use  of our website is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If processing of personal data is necessary and if there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation, and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Loran. By means of this data protection declaration, Loran would like to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by the Loran. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.

As the controller, Loran has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can always be vulnerable to security risks, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Introduction

This website is operated by:  Loran GmbH.

It is very important to us to handle the data of our website visitors confidentially and to protect it in the best possible way. For this reason, we make every effort to fulfil the requirements of the GDPR.

In the following, we explain to you how we process your data on our website. To do this, we use language that is as clear and transparent as possible so that you can really understand  what happens to your data.

2. General information

2.1 Processing of personal data and other terms

Data protection applies to the processing of personal data. Personal data means all data with which you can be personally identified . This is, for example, the IP address of the device (PC, laptop, smartphone, etc.) in front of which you are currently sitting . Such data is processed when 'something happens to it'. Here, for example, the IP is transmitted from the browser to our provider and automatically stored there. This is then a processing (according to Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR) of personal data (according to Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR).

These and other legal definitions can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.

2.2 Applicable regulations/laws - GDPR, BDSG and TTDSG

The scope of data protection is regulated by law. In this case, these are the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) as a European regulation and the BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) as a national law.

In addition, the TTDSG supplements the provisions of the GDPR as far as the use of cookies is concerned.

2.3 The person responsible

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is within the meaning of the GDPR. This is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

2.4 How data is generally processed on this website

2.6 Data protection - Our view

Data protection is more than just a chore for us! Personal data has great value and careful handling of this data should be a matter of course in our digitalised world. In addition, as a website visitor to , you should be able to decide for yourself what "happens" to your data, when and by whom. We therefore undertake to comply with all legal provisions, collect only the data that is necessary for us and, of course, treat it confidentially.

2.7 Forwarding and deletion

The transfer and deletion of data are also important and sensitive issues. We would therefore like to briefly inform you in advance about our general approach to this at.

Data will only be passed on on the basis of a legal basis and only if this is unavoidable. This may be the case in particular if it is a so-called processor and an order processing contract has been concluded in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

We delete your data when the purpose and legal basis for processing no longer apply and the deletion does not conflict with any other legal obligations. Art. 17 GDPR also provides a 'good' overview of this.

For further information, please refer to this data protection declaration at and contact if you have any specific questions.

4. What else is important

Finally, we would like to inform you in detail about your rights and tell you how you can be informed about changes to data protection requirements.

4.1 Your rights in detail

4.1.1 Right to information according to Art. 15 GDPR

You can request information from as to whether your personal data is being processed. If this is the case, you can request further information on the type and manner of processing. A detailed list can be found in Art. 15 para. 1 lit. a to h GDPR.

4.1.2 Right to rectification in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR

This right includes the correction of incorrect data and the completion of incomplete personal data.

4.1.3 Right to erasure in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR

This so-called 'right to be forgotten' gives you the right, under certain conditions, to request the erasure of your personal data by the controller. This is generally the case if the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, if consent has been withdrawn or the initial processing took place without a legal basis. A detailed list of reasons can be found in Art. 17 para. 1 lit. a to f GDPR. This "right to be forgotten" also corresponds to the controller's obligation under Art. 17 para. 2 GDPR to take appropriate measures to bring about the general erasure of data.

4.1.4 Right to restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR

This right is subject to the conditions set out in Art. 18 para. 1 lit. a to d.

4.1.5 Right to data portability in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR

This regulates the basic right to receive your own data in a commonly used form and to transfer it to another controller. However, this only applies to data processed on the basis of consent or a contract in accordance with Art. 20 (1) (a) and (b) and insofar as this is technically feasible.

4.1.6 Right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR

You can generally object to processing your personal data. This applies in particular if your interest in objecting outweighs the legitimate interest of the controller in the processing and if the processing relates to direct marketing and/or profiling.

4.1.7 Right to "individual decision-making" pursuant to Art. 22 GDPR

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling), which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you . However, this right is also restricted and supplemented by Art. 22 (2) and (4) GDPR.

4.1.8 Further rights

The GDPR contains comprehensive rights to inform third parties whether or how you have asserted rights under Art. 16, 17, 18 GDPR. However, this is only possible or feasible with reasonable effort.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind you of your right to withdraw your consent in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. However, this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out up to that point.

We would also like to inform you of your rights in accordance with Sections 32 et seq. BDSG, which, however, are largely congruent with the rights just described.

4.1.9 Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes this Regulation.

5. What if the GDPR is abolished tomorrow or other changes take place?

The current status of this data protection declaration is 05.03.2024. From time to time it is necessary to adapt the content of the data protection declaration in order to react to actual and legal changes. We therefore reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time. We will publish the amended version in the same place and recommend that you read the privacy policy regularly.
