Overview of the collection and storage of data

SSL or TLS encryption is used to protect data transmission between your computer and the host of my website. You can recognize this by the lock symbol in the address line of your browser and the letters "https://" preceding the web address.

When you visit my website, you remain completely anonymous. The provider only collects access data without direct personal reference such as IP address, operating system or date of page view. These technical data are automatically collected as soon as you access my site. However, I do not use tools to analyze the behavior of my visitors. I only receive and process personal data if you contact me via the e-mail address stated on the website. Below you will find more detailed information on the individual points and your rights.

1. Provision of website and creation of log files

1.1 Scope of data processing

Each time one of my internet pages is called up, the following data and information of the calling system are automatically recorded:

  1. IP address
  2. internet service provider
  3. operating system
  4. browser type and version used
  5. date and time of access
  6. internet pages through which my website is accessed
  7. internet pages that are accessed from my website

1.2 Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address is technically imperative so that a website can be delivered to the calling computer. The IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. In addition, the provider stores the stated data in so-called log files. This serves exclusively technical or its internal statistical purposes. These log files are not accessible to me; an evaluation for marketing purposes, a comparison with other databases or even a transfer to third parties does not take place.

1.3 Duration of storage

The data will be deleted or made anonymous as soon as they are no longer needed for the stated purpose. This means that the data collected for the provision of the website will be deleted when the session is finished. In the statistics provided to me by the provider, the IP addresses are anonymous, so it is not possible to assign them to a user.

1.4 Legal basis

The legal basis for the collection and temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1f of the GDPR.

1.5 Possibility of objection

As the collection and storage of this data is indispensable for the operation of the website, an objection to this is not possible.

2. Contact by e-mail

2.1 Scope and purpose of data processing

You can contact me via the e-mail address given on the website. In this case, I will save the personal data transmitted with the e-mail in order to be able to communicate with you. These data remain exclusively with me, unless their disclosure would be necessary to fulfill my contract with you. In this case, I will obtain your consent in advance.

2.2 Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer used for the stated purpose or as soon as any statutory retention periods have elapsed.

2.3 Legal basis

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted by e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1f GDPR. If the purpose of the e-mail contact is to conclude a contract, Art. 6 para. 1b GDPR shall also apply.

2.4 Possibility of objection

You can object to the storage of your personal data at any time. In this case, I will delete all personal data that I have stored during the contact process. Further e-mail communication is then no longer possible.

3. Your rights as data subject

If data relating to your person are processed, you are affected in the sense of the GDPR and have the following rights:

  1. the right to information about whether and which personal data I process;
  2. the right to correct or delete personal data relating to you;
  3. the right to request a limitation or suspension of the processing of your data.

You can contact me at any time via the above stated methods.

In addition, you have the right to complain to the responsible supervisory authority in the event of unlawful processing of your personal data. In my case, this is the data protection officer for Lower Saxony, Germany: www.lfd.niedersachsen.de.

You will find detailed explanations of your rights in the following points.

3.1 Right to information

You can ask me to confirm whether I process personal data concerning you. In addition, you have the right to information about these data and the following information about them:

  1. the processing purposes;
  2. the categories of personal data that are processed;
  3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations. In this case, you may request to be informed of the appropriate guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR;
  4. the planned duration of the storage or, if it is not possible to specify this, criteria for determining the storage period;
  5. the existence of a right to correct or delete personal data relating to you, to limit processing or to object to processing;

3.2 Right to rectification

If the processed data concerning you are inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have them corrected and/or completed. I have to take care of both immediately.

3.3 Right to limitation of processing

You may request that the processing of your personal data be restricted

  1. if you dispute the accuracy of any of your personal data. You can request the restriction for a period of time that allows me to verify the accuracy of the data;
  2. if the processing is unlawful. In this case, instead of deleting the personal data, you can request that I restrict their use;
  3. if I no longer need the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need them yourself to assert, exercise or defend legal claims;
  4. if you have lodged an objection against the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether my legitimate reasons outweigh yours.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may be stored but may only be processed for one of the following reasons:

  1. you consent to the processing;
  2. the processing is necessary in order to assert, exercise or defend legal rights;
  3. the processing is necessary to protect the rights of another natural or legal person;
  4. the processing is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

If the processing of personal data has been restricted in accordance with the aforementioned requirements, I will inform you before the restriction is lifted.

3.4 Right to deletion

You can ask me to delete your personal data immediately. I must comply immediately if any of the following reasons apply:

  1. Your personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed.
  2. You revoke the consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1a or Art. 9 para. 2a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  3. You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing or you object pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.
  4. Your personal data have been processed unlawfully.
  5. The deletion of your personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under European Union law or the law of the Member States to which I am subject.

If I have made the personal data concerning you public and am obliged to delete them, I shall inform the other persons responsible for processing these personal data that you have requested the deletion of all copies or replications as well as the links to these data. In order to guarantee this information, I take appropriate measures, also of a technical nature, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs.

Exemptions

The right to cancellation does not exist if the processing is necessary

  1. for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;

  3. to perform a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority entrusted to me;

3.5 Right to information

If you have exercised the right to rectification, cancellation or limitation of processing against me, I am obliged to inform all recipients to whom the data concerning you have been disclosed, of the rectification, cancellation or limitation of the processing of these data, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You shall have the right to be informed of such recipients.

3.6 Right to data transferability

You may request me to send you the personal data you have provided to me in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You may also request that I forward these data directly to another responsible person, as far as this is technically feasible. This must not affect the freedoms and rights of other persons.

3.7 Right to revoke declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The lawfulness of the processing, which took place on the basis of the consent up to the time of revocation, shall not be affected by this.

If you consider that the processing of your personal data is in breach of the GDPR, you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, workplace or place of suspected infringement, regardless of any other administrative or judicial remedy. The supervisory authority to which the complaint was submitted shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.
