3. General Information

Controller

Retention period

Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with me until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent, your data will be deleted unless there are other legally permissible reasons for storing it.

Legal bases for processing

Where you have consented to data processing, this takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Where data is required for the performance of a contract, processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Further processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR (legal obligation) or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest).

Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)

WHERE DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. IF YOU OBJECT, I WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS I CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).

Right to complain

In the event of violations of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence or place of work. The competent supervisory authority in Berlin is the Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit, Friedrichstraße 219, 10969 Berlin, Germany.

SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address line changes from "http://" to "https://". When encryption is active, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

4. Contact

Contact form

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

Processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries). The data will remain with me until you request deletion, revoke your consent, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

If you contact me by email or phone, your enquiry including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed for the purpose of handling your request. I do not pass this data on without your consent. Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b or lit. f GDPR.
