We have not appointed a data protection officer because we are not legally required to do so.
2. The Key Points in Brief
- We use no analytics or tracking tools and show no advertising that follows you around.
- When you visit our website, no cookies requiring consent are set.
- YouTube videos are only loaded when you click on them.
- We only process personal data to the extent necessary to operate the website and answer your inquiries.
3. Hosting and Server Logs
Our website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. We have concluded a data processing agreement with IONOS pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.
Each time our website is accessed, the server automatically stores data in so-called server log files:
- IP address
- date and time of access
- page or file requested
- amount of data transferred
- browser and operating system
- the previously visited page (referrer)
We need this data to deliver the website securely and reliably and to detect attacks. The legal basis is our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The logs are deleted or anonymized after a short time, usually after a few days.
IONOS also uses these logs to create simple visitor statistics (e.g. number of visits). No cookies are used for this.
4. Encryption
For security reasons, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize it by “https://” and the lock icon in your browser’s address bar.
5. Contact by Form, Email or Phone
If you contact us via the contact form, by email or by phone, we process your information in order to answer your inquiry. For the contact form, this is:
- name
- email address
- phone number (optional)
- your message
The information from the contact form is sent to us by email. We do not store it in the website’s database.
If your inquiry concerns an offer or a contract, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. In all other cases, it is our legitimate interest in answering your inquiry (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
We delete your inquiry as soon as it has been dealt with and no statutory retention obligations apply. If a contract is concluded, we keep the tax-relevant documents for 6 or 10 years (Section 147 of the German Fiscal Code, Section 257 of the German Commercial Code).
6. YouTube Videos (Only After a Click)
On some pages, we embed videos from the YouTube platform. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The videos are not loaded at first. You only see a placeholder. Only when you click on it is a connection to YouTube established. In particular, your IP address and information about the page you are visiting are transmitted to Google. Google may set cookies and transfer data to the USA. Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
The legal basis is your consent given by clicking (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG). For more information, see Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
7. Your Choice “Always Show Content”
On the placeholder, you can check a box so that videos are loaded automatically in the future. Only then do we store your choice in a cookie called “embed-privacy” on your device, for a maximum of one year. The legal basis is your consent (Section 25(1) TDDDG, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
You can withdraw this choice at any time: if you have made it, a switch for this appears directly below. You can also delete the cookie in your browser at any time.
8. Links to Other Websites
Our pages contain simple links, e.g. to our profiles on YouTube and Instagram, to books and films on Amazon or to the donation option on PayPal. No data is transmitted unless you click the link. After you click, the privacy policy of the respective provider applies. We do not receive any commission for these links.
Donations via PayPal are processed by PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg. We receive your name, your email address and the amount.
9. Orders from Our Former Online Shop
If you ordered from our online shop in the past, we keep your order and invoice data for as long as statutory retention obligations apply (up to 10 years, Section 147 of the German Fiscal Code, Section 257 of the German Commercial Code). The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. After that, the data is deleted.
10. Your Rights
You have the right at any time to:
- access the data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR)
- rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
- erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
- restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
- data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
- withdraw any consent you have given, with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR)
Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR): Where we process data on the basis of our legitimate interest, you may object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation.
A short message to faszinationmenschen@marcwiduch.de is all it takes.
