GENERAL NOTES AND MANDATORY INFORMATION

privacy

I take the protection of your personal data very seriously and therefore treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.

When you use my website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data with which you can be personally identified. This data protection declaration explains which data I collect and what I use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

I would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the responsible body

The responsible body for data processing on this website is:

Renate Herweg

Email: info@renate-herweg-iphone-fotografie.de

The responsible body is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal email notification is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases as well as to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

If the data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter E or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons that arise from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based is explained in this data protection declaration. If you object, I will no longer process your personal data concerned, unless I can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims ( Objection according to Art. 21 Paragraph 1 GDPR).

If your personal data are processed in order to operate direct mail, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will then no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection according to Art. 21 Paragraph 2 GDPR).

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, the data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged violation. The right of appeal exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that I have collected on the basis of your consent 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 responsible person, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

Information, deletion and correction

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correct or delete this data. You can contact me at any time by email if you have any further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact me by email at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by me, I usually need time to check this. For the duration of the test, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

  • If the processing of your personal data happened / happens unlawfully, you can request the restriction of the data processing instead of the deletion.

  • If I no longer need your personal data, but need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of being deleted.

  • If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 Paragraph 1 GDPR, your interests and mine must be weighed up. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data - apart from their storage - may only be allowed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest processed by the European Union or a member state.

 

DATA COLLECTION ON THIS WEBSITE

Cookies

My website partly uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make my offer more user-friendly, more effective and safer. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies I use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable me to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

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 you close the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you require are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit.f GDPR. I have a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of my services. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

If other cookies (e.g. cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these will be treated separately in this data protection declaration.

This data will not be merged with other data sources.

This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR. I have a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of my website - the server log files must be recorded for this.

contact form

If you send me information using the contact form, your details, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored for the purpose of processing and in case of follow-up questions. I will not pass on this data without your consent.

Request by email or phone

If you contact me by e-mail or phone, your request, including all personal data resulting from it (name, request) will be stored and processed by me for the purpose of processing your request. I will not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed either on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and / or on no legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. . f GDPR), as I have a legitimate interest in effectively processing the inquiries addressed to me.

Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

 

ANALYSIS TOOLS AND ADVERTISING

Google Analytics

My website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and that enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies and the use of this analysis tool are based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. I have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize my website. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

IP anonymization

I have activated the IP anonymization function on my website. As a result, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the USA. The full IP address is only transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases. On my behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide me with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser plugin

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; I would like to point out, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of my website to their full extent. You can also prevent the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) from being collected and forwarded to Google and the processing of this data by Google by using the browser available at the following link. Download and install the plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de .

Objection against data collection

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set which prevents the collection of your data on future visits to this website: Deactivate Google Analytics

You can find more information on how Google Analytics handles user data in Google's data protection declaration: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de .

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that contain statements on the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as from visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the point "Objection to data collection".

Storage period

Data stored by Google at user and event level that are linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) are anonymized after 14 months or deleted. You can find details on this under the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de

Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts, which are provided by Google, for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to the Google servers. This gives Google knowledge that this website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts takes place in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's data protection declaration: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de .
