General Information The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit my website. Personal data is any data that can be used to personally identify you. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in my privacy policy listed below this text.

Data Collection on My Website Who is responsible for data collection on this website? Data processing on this website is carried out by me, the website operator. You can find my contact details in the imprint of this website.

How do I collect your data? Your data is collected in part because you provide it to me. This could be, for example, data you enter in a contact form.

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

What do I use your data for? Some of the data is collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.

What rights do you have regarding your data? You have the right to receive 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. For this and other questions on the subject of data protection, you can contact me at any time at the address given in the imprint. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority.

Analysis Tools and Third-Party Tools When you visit my website, your surfing behavior can be statistically evaluated. This is done primarily with cookies and so-called analysis programs. The analysis of your surfing behavior is usually anonymous; the surfing behavior cannot be traced back to you. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools.

2. General Information and Mandatory Information

Data Protection I take the protection of your personal data very seriously. I treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data I collect and what I use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

I would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g., when communicating by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the responsible entity:
The entity responsible for data processing on this website corresponds to the person specified in the Imprint.

Revocation of your consent to data processing Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. An informal email to me is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority In the event of violations of data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the State Data Protection Officer of the federal state in which my company is based. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Right to data portability You have the right to have data that I process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment 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 to the extent that it is technically feasible.

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 inquiries that you send to me as the site operator. You can recognize 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.

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

Information, Deletion, and Correction Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this and other questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact me at any time at the address given in the imprint.

Right to Restriction of Processing You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact me at any time at the address given in the imprint. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by me, I 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 happened/happens unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion. If I no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of 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 pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your and my interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined 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 – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, 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.

3. Data Collection on My 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 me. These are:

Browser type and browser version, operating system used, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing computer, time of the server request, IP address. This data is not merged with other data sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form If you send me inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provided there, will be stored by me for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. I will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal email to me is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

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