in order to guarantee processing in compliance with data protection regulations, we have concluded an effective order and Privacy disclaimer with our host.3. general information and mandatory information on data protection
the operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. hence, we handle your personal data as confidential information and in compliance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.
whenever you use this website, a variety of personal information will be collected. personal data comprises data that can be used to personally identify you. this data protection declaration explains which data we collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. it also explains how, and for which purpose the information is collected.we herewith advise you that the transmission of data via the internet (i.e., through e-mail communications) may be prone to security gaps. it is not possible to completely protect data against third-party access.
information about the responsible party (referred to as the “controller” in the gdpr)
the data processing, controlling content on this website is from the domain host and Katharina Balgavythe controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing of any personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
storage duration unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected 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., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.information on data transfer to the usa and other non-eu countries
among other things, we use tools of companies domiciled in the united states or other from a data protection perspective non-secure non-eu countries. if these tools are active, your personal data may potentially be transferred to these non-eu countries and may be processed there. we must point out that in these countries, a data protection level that is comparable to that in the eu cannot be guaranteed. for instance, u.s. enterprises are under a mandate to release personal data to the security agencies and you as the data subject do not have any litigation options to defend yourself in court. hence, it cannot be ruled out that u.s. agencies (e.g., the secret service) may process, analyze, and permanently archive your personal data for surveillance purposes. we have no control over these processing activities.
revocation of your consent to the processing of data
a wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. you can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. this shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising (art. 21 gdpr)
in the event that data are processed on the basis of art 6(1)(e) or (f) gdpr, you have the right to at any time object to the processing of your personal data based on grounds arising from your unique situation. this also applies to any profiling based on these provisions. to determine the legal basis, on which any processing of data is based, please consult this data protection declaration. if you log an objection, we will no longer process your affected personal data, unless we are in a position to present compelling protection worthy grounds for the processing of your data, that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or if the purpose of the processing is the claiming, exercising or defence of legal entitlements (objection pursuant to art. 21(1) gdpr).if your personal data is being processed in order to engage in direct advertising, you have the right to object to the processing of your affected personal data for the purposes of such advertising at any time. this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is affiliated with such direct advertising. if you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection pursuant to art. 21(2) gdpr).
right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency
in the event of violations of the gdpr, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. the right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.right to data portability
you have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format. if you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.ssl and/or tls encryption
for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an ssl or a tls encryption program. you can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line. if the ssl or tls encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.information about, rectification and eradication of data
within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at any time demand information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data. you may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradicated. if you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.right to demand processing restrictions
you have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. the right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases: in the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. during the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data. if the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data. if we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication. if you have raised an objection pursuant to art. 21(1) gdpr, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. as long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
if you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the european union or a member state of the eu.rejection of unsolicited e-mails
