2. Host­ing

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

Stra­to

The provider is Stra­to AG, Otto-Ostrows­ki-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin (here­inafter ​“Stra­to”). When you vis­it our web­site, Stra­to col­lects var­i­ous log files includ­ing your IP addresses.

For more infor­ma­tion, please refer to Stra­to’s pri­va­cy pol­i­cy: https://​www​.stra​to​.de/​d​a​t​ensch….

The use of Stra­to is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSG­VO. We have a legit­i­mate inter­est in ensur­ing that our web­site is pre­sent­ed as reli­ably as pos­si­ble. If a cor­re­spond­ing con­sent has been request­ed, the pro­cess­ing is car­ried out exclu­sive­ly on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSG­VO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, inso­far as the con­sent allows the stor­age of cook­ies or access to infor­ma­tion in the user’s ter­mi­nal device (e.g. fin­ger­print devices) with­in the mean­ing of the TTDSG. The con­sent can be revoked at any time.

Order pro­cess­ing

We have con­clud­ed a con­tract on order pro­cess­ing (AVV) for the use of the above-men­tioned ser­vice. This is a con­tract required by data pro­tec­tion law, which ensures that this ser­vice only process­es the per­son­al data of our web­site vis­i­tors in accor­dance with our instruc­tions and in com­pli­ance with the DSGVO.

3 Gen­er­al notes and oblig­a­tory 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 are col­lect­ed. Per­son­al data is data by which you can be per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fied. This Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy explains what infor­ma­tion we col­lect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what pur­pose this is done.

We would like to point out that data trans­mis­sion on 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.

Note on the respon­si­ble office

The respon­si­ble par­ty for data pro­cess­ing on this web­site is:

Brit­ta Bode

Hab­s­burg­er­strasse 9

10781 Berlin

Tele­phone: [tele­phone num­ber of the respon­si­ble body]

E‑mail: mail@​britta-​bode.​de

The con­troller is the nat­ur­al or legal per­son who alone or joint­ly with oth­ers deter­mines the pur­pos­es and means of the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data (e.g. names, e‑mail address­es, etc.).

Stor­age period

Unless a more spe­cif­ic stor­age peri­od is stat­ed with­in this data pro­tec­tion dec­la­ra­tion, your per­son­al data will remain with us until the pur­pose for pro­cess­ing the data no longer applies. If you assert a jus­ti­fied 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. reten­tion peri­ods under tax or com­mer­cial law); in the lat­ter case, the data will be delet­ed once 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 para. 1 lit. a DSG­VO or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSG­VO if spe­cial cat­e­gories of data are processed in accor­dance with Art. 9 para. 1 DSG­VO. 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 para. 1 lit. a DSG­VO. If you con­sent to the stor­age of cook­ies or to the access to infor­ma­tion in your ter­mi­nal device (e.g. via device fin­ger­print­ing), the data will be processed on the basis of Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a DSG­VO. If you have con­sent­ed to the stor­age of cook­ies or to the access to infor­ma­tion in your ter­mi­nal device (e.g. via device fin­ger­print­ing), the data pro­cess­ing is also car­ried out on the basis of Sec­tion 25 (1) TTDSG. This con­sent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required to ful­fil a con­tract or to car­ry out pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­sures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSG­VO. Fur­ther­more, if your data is required for the ful­fil­ment of a legal oblig­a­tion, we process it on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSG­VO. Fur­ther­more, the data pro­cess­ing may be car­ried out on the basis of our legit­i­mate inter­est accord­ing to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSG­VO. Infor­ma­tion on the rel­e­vant legal basis in each indi­vid­ual case is pro­vid­ed in the fol­low­ing para­graphs of this data pro­tec­tion declaration.

Note on data trans­fer to the USA and oth­er third countries

Among oth­er things, we use tools from com­pa­nies based in the USA or oth­er third coun­tries that are not secure under data pro­tec­tion law. If these tools are active, your per­son­al data may be trans­ferred to these third coun­tries and processed there. We would like to point out that no lev­el of data pro­tec­tion com­pa­ra­ble to that in the EU can be guar­an­teed in these coun­tries. For exam­ple, US com­pa­nies are oblig­ed to hand over per­son­al data to secu­ri­ty author­i­ties with­out you as a data sub­ject being able to take legal action against this. It can there­fore not be ruled out that US author­i­ties (e.g. intel­li­gence ser­vices) process, eval­u­ate and per­ma­nent­ly store your data locat­ed on US servers for mon­i­tor­ing pur­pos­es. We have no influ­ence on these pro­cess­ing activities.

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. The legal­i­ty of the data pro­cess­ing car­ried out until the revo­ca­tion remains unaf­fect­ed by the revocation.

Right to object to data col­lec­tion in spe­cial cas­es and to direct mar­ket­ing (Art. 21 DSGVO)

IF DATA PRO­CESS­ING IS CAR­RIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F DSG­VO, 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 DEMON­STRATE COM­PELLING LEGIT­I­MATE GROUNDS FOR THE PRO­CESS­ING WHICH OVER­RIDE YOUR INTER­ESTS, RIGHTS AND FREE­DOMS, OR THE PRO­CESS­ING IS FOR THE PUR­POSE OF ASSERT­ING, EXER­CIS­ING OR DEFEND­ING LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJEC­TION UNDER ARTI­CLE 21(1) DSGVO).

IF YOUR PER­SON­AL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PUR­POSE OF DIRECT MAR­KET­ING, 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 CON­NECT­ED WITH SUCH DIRECT MAR­KET­ING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PER­SON­AL DATA WILL SUB­SE­QUENT­LY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PUR­POSE OF DIRECT ADVER­TIS­ING (OBJEC­TION IN ACCOR­DANCE WITH ARTI­CLE 21 (2) OF THE GER­MAN DATA PRO­TEC­TION ACT).

Right of appeal to the com­pe­tent super­vi­so­ry authority

In the event of breach­es of the GDPR, data sub­jects have a right of appeal to a super­vi­so­ry author­i­ty, in par­tic­u­lar in the Mem­ber State of their habit­u­al res­i­dence, their place of work or the place of the alleged breach. The right of appeal is with­out prej­u­dice to any oth­er admin­is­tra­tive or judi­cial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process auto­mat­i­cal­ly on the basis of your con­sent or in per­for­mance 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 respon­si­ble par­ty, this will only be done inso­far as it is tech­ni­cal­ly feasible.

Infor­ma­tion, cor­rec­tion and deletion

With­in the frame­work of the applic­a­ble legal pro­vi­sions, you have the right at any time to free infor­ma­tion about your stored per­son­al data, its ori­gin and recip­i­ent and the pur­pose of the data pro­cess­ing and, if applic­a­ble, a right to cor­rec­tion or dele­tion of this data. You can con­tact us at any time with regard to this and any oth­er ques­tions you may have 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. To do this, you can con­tact us at any time. 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 check 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/​is hap­pen­ing unlaw­ful­ly, you can request the restric­tion of data pro­cess­ing instead of erasure.
• 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 restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data instead of erasure.
• If you have lodged an objec­tion pur­suant to Art. 21 (1) DSG­VO, a bal­anc­ing of your and our inter­ests must be car­ried out. As long as it has not yet been deter­mined whose inter­ests pre­vail, you have the right to demand the restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data.

If you have restrict­ed the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data, this data may — apart from being stored — 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

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, this site uses SSL or TLS encryp­tion. 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.

4. Data col­lec­tion on this website

Enquiry by e‑mail, tele­phone or fax

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

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

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