2. How to contact the Data Protection Officer
You can contact our Data Protection Officer at datenschutzbeauftragter[at]allplan.com or at our mailing address with the note “Data Protection Officer.”
3. Legal Basis for Our Data Processing
The processing of personal data may be based on various legal grounds. If we require your data to fulfill a contract with you or to respond to inquiries from you regarding a contract, the legal basis for this data processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. If we obtain your consent for a specific data processing activity, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. We carry out some data processing activities based on our legitimate interests, always balancing your interests worthy of protection against our legitimate interests. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. To the extent that processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.
Below, we explain how we process your personal data when you use the ALLPLAN Shop.
Legal basis for our data storage under the TTDSG
According to § 25 TTDSG, the storage of information on the end user’s terminal device or access to information already stored on the terminal device is only permissible if the end user has given consent based on clear and comprehensive information, i.e., has agreed to the data processing.
For the storage of information on your device or access to information already stored on your device, we therefore obtain your consent in accordance with Section 25(1) TTDSG and consequently process even purely technical data only after obtaining your consent.
In providing information to you and obtaining your consent, we adhere to the requirements of the TTDSG in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR.
Pursuant to Section 25(2) of the TTDSG, consent is not required in exceptional cases
- if the sole purpose of storing information in the end-user’s terminal equipment or the sole purpose of accessing information already stored in the end-user’s terminal equipment is the execution of the transmission of a message via a public telecommunications network, or
- if the storage of information in the end-user’s terminal equipment or access to information already stored in the end-user’s terminal equipment is absolutely necessary for the provider of a telemedia service to make available a telemedia service expressly requested by the user.
4. Processing of Personal Data When Visiting the ALLPLAN Shop Website
Our ALLPLAN Shop is available at https://www.allplan.com/shop. When you visit the ALLPLAN Shop for informational purposes only—that is, without registering—we collect the following technical information (log file data):
| Data | Purpose of processing | Retention period |
| Operating system used | Analysis by device to ensure optimized website display | The data is generally deleted from log files after 30 days for the purpose of operating the website and protecting against misuse in accordance with our security regulations. |
| Information about the browser type and version used | Analysis of the browsers used to optimize our websites for them | |
| User’s Internet service provider | Analysis of Internet service providers | |
| IP address | Display of the website on the respective device | |
| Date and time of the visit | Ensuring the proper functioning of the website. | |
| If applicable, manufacturer and model name of the smartphone, tablet, or other end device | Analysis of device manufacturers and types of mobile devices for statistical purposes | |
| Name of the page accessed | Ensuring the proper functioning of the website | |
| Referrer URL (the source URL from which you arrived at the website) | Ensuring the proper functioning of the website |
The collection of this data is technically necessary to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security. We (and our hosting service providers) generally do not know who is behind an IP address. We do not combine the data listed above with other data.
The legal basis is the legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, as well as § 25(2)(2) TTDSG. In the context of the balancing of interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, we have considered and weighed our interest in providing the service against your interest in the processing of your personal data in compliance with data protection regulations. Since the following data is technically necessary for the provision of our service in order to offer you our website and to ensure stability and security, in particular to provide protection against misuse, we have concluded that this data must be processed—with state-of-the-art data security measures in place—while your interest in data protection-compliant processing is appropriately taken into account. If the processing is based on a different legal basis (e.g., consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 25(1) TTDSG), this will be indicated accordingly.
4.1 Use of Alokai
We use the services of Alokai Sp. z.o.o., Przeskok 2, 00-032 Warsaw, Poland (“Alokai”) for the technical provision and delivery of our online store. Alokai is a front-end platform (“Frontend as a Service”) for e-commerce applications through which the content of our online store is delivered to and processed on end devices. In this context, the processing of personal data may occur.
Nature and Scope of Processing
When using our online store via Alokai, the following data in particular may be processed:
- IP address
- Device and browser information (e.g., type, version)
- Operating system
- Time of access
- Referrer URL
- Technical usage data and interactions in the online store (e.g., pages viewed, navigation, shopping cart actions)
- Login and customer data, if applicable (particularly when using a user account or as part of the ordering process)
Processing is carried out for the technical provision, optimization, and security of our online store. Without processing this data, the use of our online store is technically not possible or only possible to a limited extent.
Purposes of processing
The processing of the aforementioned data is carried out for the following purposes:
- Provision and delivery of web shop content
- Ensuring the stability and security of the systems (e.g., defense against attacks, error analysis)
- Optimizing loading times and performance (e.g., use of caching mechanisms and content delivery networks)
- Supporting the functionalities of the online store (e.g., shopping cart, login, order processing)
Legal Basis
Processing is based on:
- Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract), to the extent that processing is necessary for the use of the online store, the maintenance of a user account, and the fulfillment of orders;
- Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest), in particular in the secure, efficient, and user-friendly provision of our online store, as well as in ensuring the functionality and security of our IT systems.
Data Processing
Alokai acts as a data processor for us within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR. We have entered into a data processing agreement with Alokai that specifically governs the nature, scope, and purpose of the processing, as well as appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data. Alokai processes personal data exclusively in accordance with our documented instructions and not for its own purposes.
Data Transfer to Third Countries
Alokai uses a cloud infrastructure based on the Google Cloud Platform to provide its services and may utilize Content Delivery Networks (CDN) with locations worldwide . It cannot therefore be ruled out that, in the course of Alokai’s service provision, personal data may be processed in countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area (in particular in the USA).
In such cases, we ensure that appropriate safeguards exist in accordance with Article 46 of the GDPR, in particular by entering into the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission and, where necessary, by implementing additional technical and organizational measures (e.g., encryption, pseudonymization). Upon request, we will be happy to provide you with further information regarding the safeguards in place.
Retention Period
We generally store personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes mentioned above or as required by law.
This means in particular:
- Log and usage data (e.g., IP address, access times, technical events) are generally retained for a period of 30 days to ensure the stability and security of the online store and for the purposes of error analysis, and are subsequently deleted or anonymized unless longer retention is required in individual cases (e.g., to investigate a security incident).
- Customer data associated with user accounts and orders is processed for the duration of the user account or for the performance of the contractual relationship and is otherwise stored in accordance with statutory retention periods.
To the extent that data is processed based on your consent, it will be deleted if you revoke your consent with future effect, provided there is no other legal basis for further processing.

10. Retention Period
We store your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill our legal and contractual obligations in connection with the processing of your order through our ALLPLAN Shop. Data related to an order process is generally retained for 10 years after the order is completed and then deleted, unless further processing is necessary for the following purposes:
After the expiration of a contract, we generally delete your data after 10 years to comply with commercial and tax law retention obligations (in particular retention periods under the German Commercial Code (HGB) or the German Fiscal Code (AO)). To preserve evidence within the framework of the statute of limitations provisions of the German Civil Code (BGB), retention for up to 30 years may be necessary in individual cases.
11. Disclosure of Data
We do not transfer your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those listed. We only disclose your personal data to third parties if:
- you have given your express consent,
- the disclosure is necessary to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, and there is no reason to believe that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data,
- where there is a legal obligation to disclose such information, and where this is permitted by law and necessary for the initiation of contracts or the fulfillment of contractual relationships with you.
External service providers and partner companies receive your data from us only to the extent necessary to process your order. These are service providers in the following categories:
- IT service providers (e.g., maintenance, hosting, and front-end service providers such as Alokai)
- Payment service providers
- Credit bureaus for the assessment of creditworthiness and default risks
In these cases, however, the scope of the data transmitted is limited to the necessary minimum. To the extent that our service providers come into contact with your personal data, we ensure, within the framework of order processing pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, that they comply with the provisions of data protection laws in the same manner. Please also note the respective privacy policies of the providers. The respective service provider is responsible for the content of third-party services, although we will, to the extent reasonably possible, verify that the services comply with legal requirements.
12. Data Transfer to Third Countries
We place importance on processing your data within the EU/EEA. However, it may occur that we use service providers who process data outside the EU/EEA. In such cases, we ensure that an adequate level of data protection is established at the recipient’s end prior to the transfer of your personal data. This means that, through EU standard contracts (EU Standard Contractual Clauses) as well as through the agreement of any further necessary measures or an adequacy decision by the European Commission, a level of data protection is achieved that is comparable to the standards within the EU.
Such a transfer may occur in particular when using IT service providers for the operation of our ALLPLAN Shop (e.g., front-end platforms and content delivery networks such as when using Alokai, see Section 4.1) as well as when using our sales partner Verifone for order and payment processing. Further details regarding the service providers used in this context and the respective data processing activities can be found in the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy.
When data is transferred outside the European Union, the high European standard of data protection generally does not apply. In the event of a transfer, there may currently be no adequacy decision by the European Commission within the meaning of Article 45(1) and (3) of the GDPR. This means that the EU Commission has not yet positively determined that the country-specific level of data protection corresponds to the “ ” level of data protection in the European Union under the GDPR; therefore, we have established the aforementioned appropriate safeguards.
Possible risks associated with the data transfer that may not be entirely ruled out include, in particular:
- Your personal data could potentially be processed beyond the original purpose.
- Furthermore, there is a possibility that you may not be able to effectively assert and enforce your data protection rights, such as your right to access, rectification, erasure, or data portability.
- There may also be a higher probability of incorrect data processing, and the protection of personal data may not fully meet the quantitative and qualitative requirements of the GDPR.
13. Data Security
Your personal data is transmitted securely via encryption at ALLPLAN. This applies to all form-based processes (including registration, login, and ordering). ALLPLAN uses the SSL/TLS (Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security) encryption system for this purpose. While no one can guarantee absolute protection, ALLPLAN secures its website and other systems through technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure of your data by unauthorized persons. Our security procedures are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological advancements.
14. Your Rights
You have the following rights with respect to the personal data concerning you:
