Data Protection

Protecting your personal data is of particular concern to us as the operator of this website. We treat your personal information confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection laws and the provisions of this privacy policy.

Various personal data is collected when using this website. Personal data refers to information that can be used to identify you as an individual. The following privacy policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and in what manner.

Notice Regarding the Responsible Entity

The entity responsible for data processing on this website is:

Tim Langner
PO Box 60 02 46
14402 Potsdam
Tim_Langner@protonmail.com

The responsible entity is a natural or legal person who, independently or in collaboration with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Revocation of Your Consent for Data Processing

Many data processing operations require your explicit consent. However, you have the right to withdraw any consent you have given at any time. The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If the processing of your personal data is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. You can find the specific legal basis for processing in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection under Article 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. 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 under Article 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the General Data Protection Regulation (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 the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies available to data subjects.

SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the URL in the address line of your browser changes from http:// to https:// and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, it ensures that data transmitted to us cannot be read by third parties. This contributes to ensuring the confidentiality and security of your information.

Information, Deletion, and Correction

In accordance with applicable legal regulations, you have the right to obtain information about your stored personal data free of charge at any time. This includes information about the origin of the data, the recipient of the data, and the purpose of data processing. You also have the right to request correction or deletion of this data if necessary.

For any concerns regarding your personal data or if you have further questions on this topic, you can contact us at any time using the address provided in the imprint. We are ready and obligated to provide you with information regarding your personal data and to address your concerns.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time using the address provided in the imprint. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

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


• If the processing of your personal data is unlawful or has been carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.


• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need this data to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.


• If you have objected pursuant to Article 21(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear which 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, these data – apart from their 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.

Objection to Promotional Emails

The use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited promotional and informational materials is generally rejected. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information, such as spam emails, being sent.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and do not cause any harm. They can be either temporary for the duration of your session (session cookies) or permanent (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted when you end your session. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you manually delete them or your web browser removes them automatically.

Server Log Files

The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This information includes: Browser type and browser version - Operating system used - Referrer URL (the previously visited website from which you accessed our website) - Hostname of the accessing computer (IP address) - Time of the server request.

These data are not merged with other data sources. The collection of these data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website, for which the collection of server log files is necessary.

Contact Form

When you contact us via email, phone, or fax, your inquiry along with all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing the inquiries directed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if requested.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after completing the processing of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – especially statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry via Email, Phone, or Fax

When you contact us via email, phone, or fax, we store and process your inquiry as well as all associated personal data, such as your name and inquiry, to process your request. We do this to handle your concerns. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent.

The processing of this data is based on various legal bases, depending on the nature of your request. If your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, the processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in efficiently processing inquiries (pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent if explicitly obtained (pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).

The data transmitted by you via contact inquiries will remain stored with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies, for example, after the completion of processing your request. Please note, however, that we must adhere to mandatory statutory retention periods, which remain unaffected by this deletion policy.
