Imprint & Privacy Policy
This imprint is a machine translation of the original German version and is provided for convenience only. In case of discrepancies, the German version shall prevail and is legally binding.
We are very pleased with your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to us. The use of our website is generally possible without the provision of personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services offered by our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and no legal basis for such processing exists, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as names, addresses, email addresses, or phone numbers of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the applicable national data protection regulations for Noord GmbH. With this privacy policy, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process.
Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects of their rights. Noord GmbH, as the data controller, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection of personal data processed through this website.
However, it is important to note that internet-based data transmissions can generally have security vulnerabilities, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, any data subject is free to transmit personal data to us through alternative means, such as by phone.
The privacy policy of Noord GmbH is based on the terminology used by the European legislature when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is designed to be easily readable and understandable for both the public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used beforehand. In this privacy policy, we use the following terms:
A – Personal Data
Personal data refers to any information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “data subject”). A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, particularly by reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, online identifier, or one or more specific factors that reflect the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that person.
B – Data Subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller.
C – Processing
Processing refers to any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as the collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction of personal data.
D – Restriction of Processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.
E – Profiling
Profiling refers to any type of automated processing of personal data that involves using personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects related to a natural person, particularly to analyze or predict aspects related to their work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
F – Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization refers to the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is stored separately and subject to technical and organizational measures ensuring that the personal data cannot be assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.
G – Controller or Data Controller
The controller or data controller is the natural or legal person, authority, agency, or other body that alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided by Union law or the law of the Member States.
H – Processor
A processor is a natural or legal person, authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
I – Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether they are a third party. Authorities that may receive personal data in the course of a specific investigation under Union law or the law of Member States are not considered recipients.
J – Third Party
A third party is any natural or legal person, authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and those who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorized to process the personal data.
K – Consent
Consent is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes, expressed either by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, which signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

The websites of Noord GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser. Many websites and servers use cookies. Numerous cookies contain a so-called cookie ID — a unique identifier consisting of a string of characters that allows websites and servers to assign the cookie to a specific internet browser in which it is stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the browser of the data subject from other browsers that store different cookies. A specific browser can thus be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, Noord GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the use of cookies. Cookies allow us to optimize the information and offerings on our website with the user in mind. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize returning users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to navigate and use our site. For example, a user who visits a website that uses cookies does not have to enter login credentials each time, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s system. Another example is the cookie used in an online shop: the shop remembers the items a customer places in the shopping cart via a cookie. Users can at any time prevent the setting of cookies by adjusting their internet browser settings and thereby permanently object to the use of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via a browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common browsers. If cookies are deactivated in the browser, not all features of our website may be fully usable.
