3. General Information and Mandatory Notices

Data Protection

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

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, what we use it for, and how this is done.

Important: Data transmission over the internet (e.g., email communication) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Responsible Party

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Rebecca Deacon
Güntherstr. 24a
60528 Frankfurt, Germany
Email: Rebecca.deacon@web.de

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Data Retention Period

Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods). In such cases, deletion occurs after these reasons cease to apply.

Legal Basis for Data Processing on This Website

Processing is based on:

  • Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR - When you have consented to data processing, including special categories of data under Art. 9(1) GDPR

  • Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR - For explicit consent to transfer personal data to third countries

  • § 25(1) TTDSG - For consent to cookie storage or access to device information (e.g., device fingerprinting). Consent is always revocable

  • Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR - When data is necessary for contract fulfillment or pre-contractual measures

  • Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR - When processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation

  • Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR - When processing is based on our legitimate interests

The specific legal basis applicable in each case is explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This sometimes requires the transmission of personal data to these external parties. We only share personal data with external parties when:

  • It is necessary for contract fulfillment

  • We are legally obligated to do so (e.g., sharing data with tax authorities)

  • We have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR

  • Another legal basis permits data sharing

When using data processors, we only share personal data with our customers based on a valid data processing agreement. In cases of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Consent for Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw previously given consent at any time. The legality of data processing that occurred before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Data Collection

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

When data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis for processing can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes, including profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint

In the event of GDPR violations, affected persons have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, workplace, or the place of the alleged violation. This right exists regardless of other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Right to Information, Correction, 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 and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions about personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request restriction of processing

  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request restriction of data processing instead of deletion

  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for exercising, defending, or asserting legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion

  • If you have filed an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing

When you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may only be processed—apart from storage—with your consent or for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims, or for protecting the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser address line changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Promotional Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of our legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The site operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, such as through spam emails.

 

4. Data Collection on This Website

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided, will be stored by us for processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

Legal basis:

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry relates to contract fulfillment or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries directed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if requested. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Data entered in the contact form remains with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after completing your inquiry). Mandatory legal provisions—particularly retention periods—remain unaffected.

Consent can be revoked at any time.

Data sent to us via contact requests remains with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after completing your request). Mandatory legal provisions—particularly statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.

 

5. Plugins and Tools

Spotify

This website incorporates functions of the Spotify music service.

Provider: Spotify AB, Birger Jarlsgatan 61, 113 56 Stockholm, Sweden

You can recognize Spotify plugins by the green logo on this website. An overview of Spotify plugins can be found at: https://developer.spotify.com
