When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is any data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may have security gaps. A complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.
Note on the Responsible Entity
The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:
SafeHome GmbHAddress: Kurfürsten-Anlage 52, 69115 Heidelberg
Commercial Register: Amtsgericht Mannheim
Registration Number: HRB 742339
Email: Datenschutz@heyenzo.comThe responsible entity is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Storage Duration
Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing 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., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place once these reasons no longer apply.
General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on 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 access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The specific legal bases applicable in each individual case are explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.
Note on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries
We use tools from companies based in the USA or other countries that are not considered secure under data protection law. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries.
We would like to point out that these countries may not offer a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, U.S. companies are required to hand over personal data to security authorities without allowing data subjects to take legal action against this. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) process, analyze, and permanently store your data stored on U.S. servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.
Revoking Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke consent that you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right, at any time and for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.The relevant legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy.If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such advertising purposes; this also applies to profiling in connection with such direct marketing.If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation.The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either in a commonly used, machine-readable format, or to have it transferred to a third party.If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.
SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content—such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator—this site uses SSL or TLS encryption.You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address line switches from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser bar.When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Right to Access, Deletion, and Correction
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of the data processing. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data.For this and any other questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time regarding this. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
- If you have filed an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
Objection to Promotional Emails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for the transmission of advertising and information materials not expressly requested. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam emails.
4. Data Collection on This Website
Use of Cookies
Our websites use so-called "cookies." Cookies are small text files that do not harm your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.
In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These allow us or you to use certain services provided by the third-party company (e.g., cookies for handling payment services).
Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or displaying videos). Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or to display advertising.
Cookies that are required for the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you request (e.g., for the shopping cart), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audiences) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized delivery of its services. If consent to store cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is based solely on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); the consent can be withdrawn at any time.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
If cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, you will be informed about this separately in this privacy policy, and consent may be requested where necessary.

- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of their website – for this, the server log files must be recorded.
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact information you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the inquiries directed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this was requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
Inquiries by Email, Phone, or Fax
If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (such as your name and the nature of your inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this was requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.
The data you send us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Social Media Elements with Shariff
This website uses elements from social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr).
You can usually recognize these elements by the respective social media logos. To ensure data protection on this website, we use these elements only in conjunction with the so-called “Shariff” solution. This application prevents the social media elements integrated into this website from transmitting your personal data to the respective provider as soon as you enter the site.
Only when you activate the respective social media element by clicking the corresponding button will a direct connection be established with the provider’s server (consent). Once you activate the social media element, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you are also logged into your corresponding social media account (e.g., Facebook), the provider can associate your visit to this website with your user account.
Activating the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
The use of this service is to obtain the legally required consents for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Facebook thereby receives information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you click the Facebook “Like” button while logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of this website to your Facebook profile.
This allows Facebook to associate your visit to this website with your user account. Please note that we, as the website operator, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or how Facebook uses it. For more information, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy:
https://de-de.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.Where consent has been obtained, the use of the above-mentioned service is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If no consent has been obtained, the use of the service is based on our legitimate interest in achieving the broadest possible visibility on social media.
To the extent that personal data is collected on our website using the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). This joint responsibility is limited solely to the collection of data and its transfer to Facebook. Any processing by Facebook after data transmission is not part of the joint responsibility. The jointly applicable obligations have been set out in a joint processing agreement. The wording of the agreement can be found here:
https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing privacy information regarding the use of the Facebook tool and for the data protection-compliant implementation of the tool on our website.

We would like to point out that, as the provider of this website, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it is used by Twitter. For more information, please refer to Twitter’s privacy policy:
https://twitter.com/de/privacy.

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy
This website includes videos from YouTube. The provider of the site is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Furthermore, YouTube may store various cookies or use similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) on your device after you start a video. This allows YouTube to receive information about visitors to this website. Among other uses, this information is used to compile video statistics, improve user experience, and prevent fraud.
Additional data processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no control.
