1) Introduction and Contact Details of the Controller

1.1 We are pleased that you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest. The following provides information on how we handle your personal data when you use our website. Personal data refers to all data by which you can be personally identified.

1.2 The controller responsible for data processing on this website within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Florian Bodewei, Haßfurter Weg 16, 13189 Berlin, Germany, Phone: +49 152 33553811, E-Mail: fbodewei@hotmail.com. The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

2) Data Collection When Visiting Our Website

2.1 When you use our website for informational purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect data that your browser transmits to the server (so-called "server log files"). When you access our website, we collect the following data which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

  • The website visited
  • Date and time of access
  • Amount of data sent in bytes
  • Source/referral from which you reached the page
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used
  • IP address used (where applicable: in anonymised form)

Processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data is not passed on or used for any other purpose. We do, however, reserve the right to review the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of illegal use.

2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g. orders or enquiries to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the string "https://" and the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

3) Hosting & Content Delivery Network

For hosting our website and displaying the page content, we use a provider that delivers its services itself or through selected sub-contractors exclusively on servers within the European Union. All data collected on our website is processed on these servers. We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which safeguards the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

4) Contact

When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), personal data is collected. Which data is collected when using a contact form is evident from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for making contact and the associated technical administration.

The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request, which is the case when circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified, provided no statutory retention obligations preclude deletion.

5) Website Functionality

Fonts (locally hosted)

This website uses the fonts "Cormorant Garamond" and "EB Garamond", which are stored exclusively on our server and delivered from there. No connections to external font services (e.g. Google Fonts) are established. No personal data is transmitted to third parties.

6) Rights of the Data Subject

6.1 Applicable data protection law grants you the following data subject rights (rights of access and intervention) vis-à-vis the controller with regard to the processing of your personal data, with reference being made to the cited legal basis for the respective conditions of exercise:

  • Right of access pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR
  • Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR

  • Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR
  • Right to be informed pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR

6.2 RIGHT TO OBJECT

IF WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON THE BASIS OF A BALANCING OF INTERESTS PURSUANT TO OUR OVERRIDING LEGITIMATE INTEREST, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THIS PROCESSING WITH EFFECT FOR THE FUTURE ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED. CONTINUED PROCESSING REMAINS RESERVED, HOWEVER, IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS.

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED BY US FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH MARKETING. YOU MAY EXERCISE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.

7) Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The duration of storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and — where applicable — additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. commercial and tax law retention periods).

When processing personal data on the basis of explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, the data concerned is stored until you withdraw your consent.

If statutory retention periods exist for data that is processed within the framework of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, this data is routinely deleted after the retention periods expire, provided it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment or initiation of a contract and/or we have no legitimate interest in continued storage.

When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

When processing personal data for direct marketing purposes on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.

Unless information in this statement on specific processing situations indicates otherwise, stored personal data is deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
