Data Storage: I store your personal data for as long as necessary to provide my service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce policies. Retention periods depend on the type of data collected and the purpose for which it was collected, taking into account both case-specific circumstances and the need to delete outdated, unused information as soon as possible. I store customer records containing personal data, account setup documents, communications, and other data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. I may, at any time and at my sole discretion, correct, complete, or remove incomplete or inaccurate data. Basis for Data Collection: By using this website, you consent to the collection, storage, use, disclosure, and other processing of your personal data as described in this Privacy Policy. Please read the Privacy Policy carefully before making any decisions. What data is collected? I collect two types of data and information from users: The first category includes non-identifying and non-identifiable user data provided or collected through the use of the website (“Non-Personal Data”). I do not know the identity of the user from whom Non-Personal Data was collected. Non-Personal Data that may be collected includes aggregated usage data and technical data transmitted by your device, including certain information regarding software and hardware (e.g., browser and operating system used, language setting, access time, etc.). I use this data to improve the functionality of my website. I may also collect data about your activity on the website (e.g., pages visited, browsing behavior, clicks, actions, etc.). The second category includes personal data, meaning data that identifies or can identify an individual through reasonable means. Such data includes: (a) the browser type and generation used, (b) the operating system used by the accessing system, (c) the website from which my website was accessed (referrer), (d) the subpages accessed on my website, (e) the date and time of access, (f) the internet protocol address (IP address), (g) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (h) other comparable data and information necessary for protection against attacks on my website. How do I obtain data about you? I obtain your personal data from various sources:
You provide me with such data voluntarily, for example, via email or the contact form on my website.
I receive such data when you use my website.
I receive such data from other providers, services, and public registers (for example, from data traffic analysis providers). How is the data used? Who do I share my data with? I do not share user data with third parties except as described in this Privacy Policy. I use data for the following purposes:
To communicate with you.
To inform you about current promotions.
For statistical and analytical purposes to improve the website. I may also disclose data if I believe in good faith that doing so is helpful or appropriate to: (a) comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or governmental requests; (b) enforce my policies (including our agreement) and investigate potential violations thereof; (c) investigate, detect, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities or other misconduct, suspected fraud, or security issues; (d) establish or enforce my legal rights or defend myself against legal claims; (e) protect my rights, property, or safety, the safety of my users, your safety, or the safety of others; or (f) cooperate with law enforcement and/or protect intellectual property or other legal rights. Cookies: I use cookies to provide certain services. This also applies when you visit my website or access our services. A "cookie" is a small data packet that is assigned to your device by a website when you visit it. Cookies are useful and can be used for various purposes. These include, for example, easier navigation between different pages, the automatic activation of certain functions, saving your settings, and optimized access to our services. The use of cookies also allows us to show you relevant advertising tailored to your interests and to collect statistical information about your use of our services. This website uses the following types of cookies: a. "Session cookies," which ensure normal system operation. Session cookies are stored only for the duration of a session and are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. b. "Persistent cookies," which are only read by the website and are not deleted when the browser window is closed, but are stored on your computer for a specific period. This type of cookie allows us to identify you on your next visit and, for example, save your settings. c. "Third-party cookies" are set by other online services that have their own content on the page you are visiting. These can be, for example, external web analytics companies that track and analyze access to our website. Cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information, but the personal data we store may be linked to the data contained in the cookies. You can delete cookies via your device settings. Follow the relevant instructions. Please note that disabling cookies may restrict certain functions when using our website. The tool I use is based on Snowplow Analytics technology. The data I collect about the use of our website includes, for example, how often users visit the website or which areas are accessed. The tool I use does not collect any personally identifiable information and is used by my web hosting provider and service provider solely to improve their own services. Use of Script Libraries (Google Web Fonts) To ensure my content is displayed correctly and attractively in every browser, I use script and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts) for this website. Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser's cache so they only need to be loaded once. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or blocks access to them, the content will be displayed in a standard font.
When script or font libraries are accessed, a connection is automatically established with the library provider. Theoretically, this provider could collect data. It is currently unknown whether and for what purpose the providers of the respective libraries actually collect data.
You can find the privacy policy of the Google library provider here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy. Collection of Data by Third Parties This policy only addresses the use and disclosure of data that I collect from you. If you publish data on other websites or disclose it to third parties on the internet, other terms may apply. Therefore, always read the terms and conditions and privacy policy carefully before disclosing any data. This privacy policy does not apply to the business practices of companies that I do not own or control, or to other individuals, including third parties, to whom I disclose this data as described in this privacy policy. How do I protect your data? I implement security measures on the website with great care and protect your data. Although I take reasonable steps to protect data, I cannot be held responsible for the actions of those who gain unauthorized access to or misuse my website, and I make no express or implied warranty that I can prevent such access. Transfer of data outside the European Economic Area: Please note that some recipients may not be located in the European Economic Area. If this is the case, I will only transfer your data to countries approved by the European Commission as having an adequate level of data protection or ensure an adequate level of data protection through a legal agreement. Marketing: I may use your personal data, such as your name, email address, telephone number, etc., to send you a newsletter upon request. You can unsubscribe at any time. I respect your right to privacy. Updates or changes to this privacy policy: I reserve the right to amend or review this privacy policy from time to time. You can find the date of the current version under "Last modified on". Your continued use of the platform after the publication of such changes on my website constitutes your acceptance of such changes to the privacy policy and is considered your agreement to be bound by the amended terms. For general questions about the website, the data I collect about you, or the use of this data, please contact me (see legal notice). Last modified on 24.2.2020
