DATA PROTECTION

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

 

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are any information that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and for what purpose.

 

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by e-mail) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The data controller for this website is:

Miriam Elting

Henneberger Str. 6

DE-97711 Massbach

Telefon: +49 171 8322049

eMail: styleistheanswer.me@gmail.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 (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

 

 

STORAGE DURATION

Unless a more specific storage period is mentioned in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you submit 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 retaining your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law). In the latter case, deletion will take place once these reasons no longer apply.

 

 

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING ON THIS WEBSITE

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or, if special categories of data under Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed, on Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), processing also takes place based on § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.
If your data are required to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. If data processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The specific legal basis applicable in each case is explained in the relevant sections of this privacy policy.

 

 

RECIPIENTS OF PERSONAL DATA

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only share personal data with external parties when it is necessary for the performance of a contract, when we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), when we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the transfer, or when another legal basis permits the data transfer.
When using processors, we share personal data with them only under a valid Data Processing Agreement (DPA). In cases of joint processing, a Joint Processing Agreement is concluded.

 

 

REVOCATION OF YOUR CONSENT TO DATA PROCESSING

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to revocation remains unaffected.

 

 

RIGHT TO OBJECT TO DATA COLLECTION IN SPECIAL CASES AND TO DIRECT MARKETING (ART. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA, INCLUDING PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE LEGAL BASIS FOR EACH PROCESSING OPERATION IS STATED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. 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 THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR).

 

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR).

 

 

RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH A SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY

In the event of a violation of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

 

 

RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, or to request that it be transferred directly to another controller, where technically feasible.

 

 

RIGHT OF ACCESS, RECTIFICATION, AND ERASURE

Within the limits of applicable law, you have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as, where applicable, the right to rectify or delete this data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose or for further questions regarding personal data.

 

 

RIGHT TO RESTRICT PROCESSING

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

• If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

• f we no longer need your personal data but you require it for the exercise, defense, or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.

• If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must take place. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

 

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data—apart from their storage—may only be processed 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 of the European Union or a Member State.

 

 

SSL OR TLS ENCRYPTION

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in your browser’s address line from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

 

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

 

 

OBJECTION TO UNSOLICITED ADVERTISING EMAILS

We hereby object to the use of contact data published in the context of the legal notice requirement for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.
