Data protection is of a particularly high priority for me.
The processing of personal data, such as your name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number shall always be in line with the EU-General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to me.
I try to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed.
This privacy policy is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the GDPR. The privacy policy should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as my customers and business partners. To ensure this, I would like to first explain some of the key terminology used:
•
Personal dataPersonal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
•
Data subjectData subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
•
ProcessingProcessing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
• Responsible party or controller or controller responsible for the processing
Responsible party or controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
• Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
• Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
• Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.
• Consent
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
You can exercise the following rights at any time using my contact details above:
• Information on your data stored by me and the processing thereof (Art. 15 GDPR),
• Rectification of inaccurate personal data (Art. 16 GDPR),
• Deletion of your data stored by me (Art. 17 GDPR),
• Restriction of the data processing, provided that I may not delete your data due to legal obligations (Art. 18 GDPR),
• Objection to the processing of your data with me (Art. 21 GDPR) and
• Data portability, provide that you have consented to the data processing or have entered into a contract with me (Art. 20 GDPR).
If you have given me consent, you may withdraw it at any time, which will remain in effect in the future.
You can contact a supervisory authority with a complaint at any time, e.g. the supervisory authority of the state of your residence or the authority that oversees me as the responsible party. You’ll find a list of supervisory authorities (for the non-public area) with their respective addresses at:
