This privacy policy also applies to my websites and social media profiles. With regard to the definition of terms such as "personal data" or "processing", I refer to Art. 4 DS-GVO.

1. Types of data we process

Legal bases for the processing of personal data
In the following I will inform you about the legal basis for the processing of personal data:
If I have obtained your consent for the processing of personal data, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a) GDPR is the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, which are carried out at your request, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR is the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which I am subject (e.g. statutory storage obligations), Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR is the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. d) GDPR is the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect my interests or those of a third party and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh them, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f) GDPR is the legal basis.
Disclosure of personal data to third parties and processors
In principle, I do not pass on any data to third parties without your consent. If this is the case, then the transfer takes place on the basis of the aforementioned legal bases, e.g. when transferring data to online payment providers to fulfill a contract or due to a court order or due to a legal obligation to release the data for the purpose of criminal prosecution, to avert danger or to enforce intellectual property rights.
I also use contract processors (external service providers, e.g. for web hosting of my websites and databases) to process your data. If data is passed on to the processors as part of an agreement on order processing, this is always done in accordance with Art. 28 DS-GVO. I carefully select my processors, check them regularly and have been granted the right to issue instructions regarding the data. In addition, the processors must have taken appropriate technical and organizational measures and comply with the data protection regulations in accordance with BDSG nF and DS-GVO.
Data transfer to third countries
The adoption of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) created a uniform basis for data protection in Europe. Your data will therefore mainly be processed by companies for which the GDPR applies. Should the processing take place by third-party services outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, they must meet the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR. This means that the processing takes place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the determination of a level of data protection officially recognized by the EU Commission or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations, the so-called “standard contractual clauses”. For US companies, the submission to the so-called "Privacy Shield", the data protection agreement between the EU and the USA, fulfills these requirements.
Deletion of data and storage period
Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for storage no longer applies, unless further storage is required for evidentiary purposes or there are statutory storage obligations to the contrary. This includes, for example, commercial law retention requirements for business letters in accordance with Section 257 (1) HGB (6 years) and tax retention requirements for receipts in accordance with Section 147 (1) AO (10 years). If the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted, unless storage is still required for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
Existence of automated decision-making
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
Provision of our website and creation of log files
If you only use my website for informational purposes (i.e. no registration and no other transmission of information), I only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you want to look at my website, we collect the following data:
• IP address;
• User's internet service provider;
• date and time of retrieval;
• browser type;
• language and browser version;
• content of the call;
• time zone;
• Access Status/HTTP Status Code;
• amount of data;
• W ebsites from which the request comes;
• Operating system.
A storage of this data together with other personal data of yours does not take place.
This data serves the purpose of delivering my website to you in a user-friendly, functional and secure manner with functions and content as well as their optimization and statistical evaluation.
The legal basis for this is my legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, which also lies in the above purposes.
For security reasons, I store this data in server log files for a storage period of 7 days. After this period, they will be automatically deleted, unless we need to keep them for evidence purposes in the event of attacks on the server infrastructure or other violations of the law.
cookies
I use so-called cookies when you visit my website. Cookies are small text files that your Internet browser stores and saves on your computer. When you visit my website again, these cookies provide information to automatically recognize you. The information obtained in this way serves the purpose of technically and economically optimizing my web offers and enabling you to access my website more easily and securely. When you visit our website, we inform you about the use of cookies for the aforementioned purposes and how you can object to them or prevent their storage ("opt-out") by means of a reference to our data protection declaration. My website uses session cookies, persistent cookies and third-party cookies:
• Session cookies: I use so-called cookies to recognize repeated use of an offer by the same user (e.g. if you have logged in to determine your login status). When you visit our site again, these cookies provide information to automatically recognize you. The information obtained in this way is used to optimize our offers and to give you easier access to my site. If you close the browser or log out, the session cookies will be deleted.

However, I would like to point out that you may then not be able to use all the functions of this website. Read more about these cookies in the respective data protection declarations of the third-party providers.
The legal basis for this processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence Letter b) GDPR, if the cookies are set to initiate a contract, e.g. for orders, and otherwise I have a legitimate interest in the effective functionality of the website, so that in this case Art 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR is the legal basis.
Objection and "opt-out": You can generally prevent the storage of cookies on your hard drive by selecting "do not accept cookies" in your browser settings. However, this can result in a functional restriction of my offers. You can opt out of the use of third-party cookies for advertising purposes via this American website ( https://optout.aboutads.info ) or this European website ( http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de /preference management/ ) contradict.
rights of the data subject
Objection or revocation against the processing of your data
Insofar as the processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a), Art. 7 DS-GVO, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
Insofar as I base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, you can object to the processing. This is the case if the processing is not necessary in particular to fulfill a contract with you, which I will show in the following description of the functions. If you exercise such an objection, please explain the reasons why I should not process your personal data as I have done. In the event of your justified objection, I will check the situation and will either stop or adjust the data processing or show you my compelling reasons worthy of protection, on the basis of which I will continue the processing.
You can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time. You can exercise your right to object free of charge. You can inform me about your objection to advertising using the following contact details:
