​

Note on the responsible body

​

The responsible body for data processing on this website is:

Maria Reich

Melli-Beese-Str. 50

12487 Berlin

+49(0)17631520681

heymariareich@web.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.).

​

storage duration

​

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 wish to 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.

​

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

​

If you have consented to data processing, I will process your personal data on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR if special data categories are processed in accordance with Article 9 (1) GDPR will. In the event of express 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.

​

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

​

Among other things, I use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to these third countries and processed there. I would like to point out that in these countries no level of data protection comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed. For example, US companies are obliged to release personal data to security authorities without you as the person concerned being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) will process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. I have no influence on these processing activities.

​

Revocation of your consent to data processing

​

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 that took place up until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

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

​

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority

The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

​

Right to data portability

​

You have the right to have data that I 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 person responsible, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

​

​

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data at any time.

Right to restriction of processing

​

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. 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 examination, you have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

​

SSL or TLS encryption

​

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to me as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption.

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 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

​

​

contact form

​

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 for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. I will 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 my legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to me (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was queried; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with me until you ask me to delete them, 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.

​

Inquiry by email or phone

​

If you contact me by e-mail or telephone, your request including all resulting personal data (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 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 my legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to me (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was queried; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send me via contact requests will remain with me until you ask me to delete them, 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 statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

​

5. Newsletter Data

​

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, I need an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows me to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter . Further data is not collected or only collected on a voluntary basis. I use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you have stored with me for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by me or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after it no longer serves any purpose. I reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from my newsletter distribution list at my own discretion within the scope of my legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Data stored by me for other purposes remain unaffected.

After you have been removed from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by me or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is only used for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and my interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh my legitimate interests.

6. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with enhanced privacy

​

This website includes videos from the YouTube website. The website operator is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

I use YouTube in the extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the extended data protection mode does not necessarily exclude the transfer of data to YouTube partners. This is how YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network, regardless of whether you are watching a video.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, YouTube can save various cookies on your end device after starting a video or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can receive information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, to improve user-friendliness and to prevent attempts at fraud.

If necessary, after the start of a YouTube video, further data processing operations can be triggered over which I have no influence.

YouTube is used in the interest of an attractive presentation of my online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR and Article 25 Paragraph 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.

​

Use of Google Analytics

​

I use Google Analytics to analyze website usage. The data obtained from this is used to optimize my website and advertising measures. 

Google Analytics is provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google processes the website usage data on my behalf and contractually undertakes to take measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of the processed data.

During your visit to the website, the following data, among others, will be recorded:

• Pages viewed

• Orders including the turnover and the ordered products

• The achievement of "website goals" (e.g. contact requests and newsletter subscriptions)

• Your behavior on the pages (e.g. length of stay, clicks, scrolling behavior)

• Your approximate location (country and city)

• Your IP address (in abbreviated form so that no clear assignment is possible)

• Technical information such as browser, Internet provider, end device and screen resolution

• Source of your visit (ie via which website or via which advertising medium you came to us)

Personal data such as name, address or contact details are never transmitted to Google Analytics.

This data is transmitted to Google servers in the USA. I would like to point out that the same level of data protection as within the EU cannot be guaranteed in the USA. 

Google Analytics stores cookies in your web browser for a period of two years since your last visit. These cookies contain a randomly generated user ID with which you can be recognized on future website visits.

The recorded data is stored together with the randomly generated user ID, which enables the evaluation of pseudonymous user profiles. This user-related data is automatically deleted after 14 months. Other data is stored in aggregate form indefinitely.

If you do not agree to the recording, you can do this with the one-time installation des Browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics  or by rejecting cookies via the cookie settings dialog.
