General information

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data that can be used to personally identify you. For detailed information on data protection, please refer to the full privacy policy below.

Data collection on this website

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the section "Information about the responsible party" in this privacy policy.

Your data is collected partly by you providing it to us — for example, data entered into a contact form. Other data is collected automatically or with your consent when you visit the website, primarily technical data such as browser type, operating system, or time of page access. This data is collected automatically as soon as you access the website.

What do we use your data for?

Part of the data is collected to ensure error-free operation of the website. Other data may be used to analyse your browsing behaviour. Where contracts can be initiated or concluded via the website, the transmitted data is also processed for contract offers, orders, or other enquiries.

Your rights

You have the right at any time to receive free information about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given consent to data processing, you can revoke it at any time for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. You can contact us at any time with questions on this subject.

Analytics and third-party tools

General information & mandatory disclosures

Data protection

The operator of this website takes the protection of your personal data seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Information about the responsible party

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Felix Rosenkranz
Grenzweg 8
30165 Hannover
Germany

Phone: +49 15234247644
Email: felix.rosenkranz@web.de

The responsible party is the natural person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data.

Storage duration

Unless a more specific storage period is stated 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 legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for retaining it (e.g. tax or commercial law retention periods); in that case, deletion will occur after those reasons cease to apply.

Legal bases for data processing

Where we have obtained your consent to process personal data, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Where processing is required to fulfil a legal obligation, it is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Processing may also be based on our legitimate interests under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The applicable legal basis in each individual case is indicated in the relevant section of this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

Personal data is only passed on to third parties where this is necessary for contract fulfilment, where we are legally required to do so, where we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the transfer. Where processors are used, we only share personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement.

Revocation of your consent

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to revocation remains unaffected.

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

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

The competent supervisory authority for Lower Saxony is:
Die Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz Niedersachsen
www.lfd.niedersachsen.de

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Access, rectification and deletion

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, the right to correct or delete this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions 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. You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restriction applies in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you can request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data but you require it for the exercise, defence or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

Where processing has been restricted, that data — apart from its storage — may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, 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 EU or a member state.

Data collection on this website

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact data you provided, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass this data on without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where this has been requested. You may revoke your consent at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply. Mandatory legal provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.

05

Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we require an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for the purposes of sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

Processing of the data entered in the newsletter sign-up form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of your data, email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

Data stored by us for the purpose of the newsletter will be retained until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted after unsubscribing or after the purpose ceases to apply. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter list at our discretion within the framework of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

After unsubscribing, your email address may be stored in a blocklist to prevent future mailings, where necessary. Data from the blocklist is used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blocklist is not subject to a time limit. You may object to storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

This website uses Brevo to send newsletters. The provider is Brevo SAS, 106 boulevard Haussmann, 75008 Paris, France.

Brevo is a service used to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters. Data you enter for the purposes of subscribing to the newsletter (name, email address) is stored on servers of Brevo in the EU.
