Last updated on 15-01-2026


Data protection at a glance

General information

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data that can be used to identify you personally. For detailed information on data protection, please refer to our privacy policy listed below this text.

  1. Data collection on this website:

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. Their contact details can be found in the ‘Information on the responsible body’ section of this privacy policy.


How do we collect your data?

Your data is collected when you provide it to us. This may include, for example, data that you enter in a contact form.

Other data is collected automatically or with your consent when you visit the website by our IT systems. This is primarily technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.


What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected to ensure that the website functions correctly. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour. If contracts can be concluded or initiated via the website, the transmitted data will also be processed for contract offers, orders or other order enquiries.


What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right to obtain information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given your consent to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. You also have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.


Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have any further questions on this or other data protection issues.


Analysis tools and third-party tools

When you visit this website, your surfing behaviour may be statistically evaluated. This is mainly done using so-called analysis programmes. Detailed information about these analysis programmes can be found in the following privacy policy.

  1. Hosting:

We host the content of our website with the following provider:


External Hosting


We use the website builder service Framer from Framer B.V., Rozengracht 207B, 1016 LZ Amsterdam, Netherlands, to design and provide our website.

Website: https://www.framer.com


Framer provides us with a cloud-based system that we can use to design and publish our website. The technical provision (hosting) of the website is carried out via the infrastructure of Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), USA, which Framer uses as a sub-processor.


What data is processed?

When you visit our website, your browser automatically transmits information to the Framer/AWS server, where it is stored in log files. This includes, in particular:


  • IP address of the requesting device

  • Date and time of access

  • URL and target page accessed

  • Referrer URL (the previously visited page, if transmitted)

  • Browser and operating system used

  • Language and country settings, if applicable

  • Technical event data (e.g. error codes, loading times)


Depending on how you use our website, additional data may also be processed, for example when you fill out a form on the site (e.g. contact or newsletter form). The specific data collected is determined by the respective form fields and the associated information.


For what purposes and on what legal basis?

This data is processed for the following purposes:

  • Technically error-free display and delivery of our website

  • Ensuring stability and security (e.g. defence against attacks, error analysis)

  • Performance optimisation and load balancing (content delivery network via AWS/CloudFront)


The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest). Our legitimate interest lies in providing a secure, stable and up-to-date online presence and the economically sensible use of a specialised hosting provider.


If further data (e.g. your contact details) is collected via forms, processing is carried out – depending on the context – on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (contract/contract initiation) or Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in processing enquiries). If we expressly request consent (e.g. for newsletters), the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.


Order processing and recipients

Framer acts as a processor in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR in the context of providing the website builder. We have concluded a corresponding order processing agreement (Data Processing Addendum ‘DPA’) with Framer, which regulates, among other things, technical and organisational measures in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR and the involvement of sub-processors.

Framer uses the following sub-processors in particular:

  • Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), USA – hosting infrastructure for Framer services (storage of content and delivery of the website)

  • Other service providers listed in Framer's current sub-processor list (e.g. monitoring and logging services)


Data transfer to third countries (in particular the USA)

When using Framer, personal data (in particular log and usage data) is transferred to AWS servers in the USA and processed there.


For this transfer, Framer – and therefore we too – rely on:

Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR between Framer and AWS, supplemented by technical and organisational protective measures (including encryption and access restrictions).

Details can be found here: https://www.framer.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/


Despite these measures, it cannot be completely ruled out that US authorities may access data stored in the US in individual cases without you having effective legal remedies available in all cases. We have taken this into account in our data protection risk assessment and, due to the comparatively low risk profile (especially when using the website for informational purposes only), have classified it as acceptable.


Storage period

The log data generated in the course of providing and securing the website is usually deleted or anonymised after a short period of time, unless longer storage is necessary for security or evidence reasons (e.g. in the event of concrete suspicion of misuse).


We generally store content that we manage via frames (e.g. page texts, images, form content, if applicable) for the duration of the website's operation or until the respective purpose ceases to apply or until you revoke your consent (if such a basis is relevant), provided that no statutory retention periods prevent this.


Right to object

Insofar as we base data processing on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation.


We will then no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

  1. General information and mandatory information


Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.


When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is 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 by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The responsible body 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 period


Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period is specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate 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, deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.


General information on the legal basis for 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 in accordance with Art. 9(1) GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is also carried out on the basis of Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

E-Mail: info@glende-consulting.de


Recipients of personal data

We work with various external parties in the course of our business activities. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in passing on the data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we only pass on our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid contract for data processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.


Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.


Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(a) OR (f) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. E OR F OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN PROVE THAT THERE ARE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO 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 PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO 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, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.


Right to data portability

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


Information, correction and deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correct or delete this data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose or if you have any further questions on the subject of personal data.


Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can 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 its deletion.

  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to 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, this data may – apart from its storage – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence 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.


SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from ‘http://’ to ‘https://’ and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

  1. Data collection on this website

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version

  • Operating system used

  • Referrer URL

  • Host name of the accessing computer

  • Time of the server request

  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.


Enquiries by email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.


This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.


The data you send us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

  1. Analysis tools and advertising


Google Tag Manager

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

However, Google Tag Manager records your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google's parent company in the United States.


The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on its website. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG.

Meta-Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel)

This website uses Meta's visitor action pixel for conversion measurement. This service is provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Meta, the data collected is also transferred to the United States and other third countries.


This allows the behaviour of page visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Meta advertisement. This allows the effectiveness of Meta advertisements to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimised.


The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, so that a connection to the respective user profile on Facebook or Instagram is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Meta Data Use Policy (https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This enables Meta to place advertisements on Facebook or Instagram pages and other advertising channels. As the website operator, we have no influence over this use of the data.


The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.


Insofar as personal data is collected on our website with the help of the tool described here and forwarded to Meta, 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). Joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of data and its transfer to Meta. The processing by Meta after the transfer is not part of the joint responsibility. Our joint obligations have been set out in a joint processing agreement. The text of the agreement can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum.


According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing data protection information when using the Meta tool and for the data protection-compliant implementation of the tool on our website. Meta is responsible for the data security of Meta products. You can assert your rights as a data subject (e.g. requests for information) regarding the data processed by Facebook or Instagram directly with Meta. If you assert your rights as a data subject with us, we are obliged to forward them to Meta.


Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum and https://de de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381.

  1. Newsletter

Newsletter data
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or is collected on a voluntary basis only. We use newsletter service providers to process the newsletters, which are described below.


Mailchimp
This website uses the services of Mailchimp to send newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.


Mailchimp is a service that can be used to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters, among other things. If you enter data for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g. email address), this data will be stored on Mailchimp's servers in the USA.


With the help of Mailchimp, we can analyse our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent with Mailchimp, a file contained in the email (known as a web beacon) connects to Mailchimp's servers in the USA. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. Technical information is also collected (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system) . This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.


If you do not want Mailchimp to analyse your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this purpose in every newsletter message.


Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.


The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://mailchimp.com/eu-us-data-transfer-statement/ and https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/#Annex_C_-_Standard_Contractual_Clauses.


After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if necessary, in order to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interests and our interests in complying with the legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). There is no time limit for storage on the blacklist. You can object to storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.


For more details, please refer to Mailchimp's privacy policy at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.

  1. Our own services

Handling of applicant data
We offer you the opportunity to apply for a position with us (e.g. by e-mail, post or via our online application form). Below, we provide information about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions, and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.


Scope and purpose of data collection
When you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) (initiation of an employment relationship), Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have given your consent – Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons involved in processing your application. If your application is successful, the data you submit will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.


Data retention period
If we are unable to offer you a position, you decline a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data you have provided on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The storage serves in particular for evidence purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.


Longer storage may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) or if statutory storage obligations prevent deletion.


Aufnahme in den Bewerber-Pool

If we do not offer you a job, there may be the possibility of including you in our applicant pool. If you are included, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool so that we can contact you if suitable vacancies arise.


Inclusion in the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The granting of consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. The data subject may revoke their consent at any time.


In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool, provided there are no legal reasons for retention.

The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been given.


  1. Data processing in connection with the use of the test kit

Categories of personal data that are processed

The following categories of personal data are processed in connection with the ADHD home test: inventory data (name, address, date of birth, gender), contact details (email address, telephone number), payment details, health data (blood sample, test result) and order and shipping details.


Purposes and legal basis for processing

The inventory data, contact details and payment data are processed for pre-contractual measures (inclusion in the waiting list) and for contract fulfilment, i.e. order processing, sending the test kit, assigning the blood sample and providing the test result. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR in conjunction with the contract for work and services. The processing of health data (blood sample and test result) is based on Art. 9 (2) (h) Var. 4 GDPR in conjunction with the contract for work and services. Where necessary and legally permissible, we process your data (not health data) beyond the actual contractual purposes in order to fulfil legal obligations in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. In addition, processing may be carried out to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, as well as to defend and assert legal claims in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If necessary, we will inform you separately, stating the legitimate interest.


Duration for which personal data is stored

Personal data is stored until the respective processing purpose has been achieved, statutory retention periods have expired or an enforceable claim for erasure has been asserted.


Obligation to provide personal data

There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your personal data. However,

Recipients outside our company may include laboratory service providers, shipping service providers, payment service providers and hosting providers.


Transfer of personal data to a third country

As a matter of principle, we do not transfer any data to a third country.
