The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is all data with which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in our data protection declaration listed under this text.
Who is responsible for data collection on this website? The data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the section "Note on the responsible body" in this data protection declaration.
How do we collect your data? On the one hand, your data is collected when you communicate it to us — this can be, for example, data that you enter in a contact form. Other data is collected automatically or with your consent by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of the page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.
What do we use your data for? Some of the data is collected to ensure that the website is provided error-free. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.
What rights do you have regarding your data? You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given your consent to data processing, you can revoke this consent 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. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. You can contact us at any time if you have any further questions on the subject of data protection.
When you visit this website, your surfing behavior can be statistically evaluated. This is mainly done with so-called analysis programs. Detailed information on these analysis programs can be found in the following data protection declaration.
We host the content of our website with the following provider:
This website is hosted externally. The personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster's servers. This can primarily be IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website access and other data generated via a website.
The external hosting takes place for the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offer by a professional provider (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). If corresponding consent was requested, the processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
Our host(s) will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfill their performance obligations and follow our instructions in relation to this data. We use the following hoster: Systeme.io
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.
If you use this website, various personal data will be collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This data protection declaration explains what data we collect and what we use it for, as well as how and for what purpose this happens.
We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
The responsible body for data processing on this website is:
Mathias Wolters
Schorlemmerskamp 2, 44319 Dortmund
Telephone: +86 18288868904
Email: mail@mathiaswolters.de
The responsible body is the natural or legal person who, alone or together with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
Unless a specific storage period has been specified in this data protection declaration, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate 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 data will be deleted once these reasons have ceased to exist.
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data according to Article 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Article 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is also based on Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. We also process your data if required to fulfill a legal obligation under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing can also take place on the basis of our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not considered secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. No level of data protection comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies may be obliged to release personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It cannot be ruled out that US authorities process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent that you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up until the revocation remains unaffected.
If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right, at any time and for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which 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 advertising purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).
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 the place of the alleged infringement. This right of complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of 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 the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing at any time, and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this or any further questions on the subject of personal data.
You have the right to request the 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 by us, we usually need time to verify this — for the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of processing. If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you can request restriction of processing instead of deletion. If we no longer need your personal data but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction instead of deletion. If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, your interests and ours must be weighed against each other — as long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may — apart from being stored — only be processed with your consent, or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The site operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising being sent, such as spam e-mails.
Our website uses so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packages and do not damage your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies can come from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you want (e.g. for the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies for measuring web audience) — necessary cookies — are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies was requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted. You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this data protection declaration.
The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are: browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request, and IP address.
This data is not merged with other data sources. This data is collected on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of the website — the server log files must be recorded for this purpose.
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if this was requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.
