This is a translation of the German privacy policy. Only the German version is legally binding.

The following information provides an overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data refers to any data that can be used to identify you personally. I (= Just ME (me)) have been advised to use the plural form in this statement. This contradicts my “Just ME” principle, which is why using “I” (first person singular) rather than “we” would feel more natural to me. But this is, after all, a legal text for which I sought expert advice, primarily from eRecht24. This is also why I no longer use the informal ‘you’ (Du) in this text, but instead address you with the formal ‘you’ (Sie). (Note: In English, this distinction is not reflected as only ‘you’ is used for direct address.). Even though data protection is a matter of great importance to me, it seems a bit crazy to me that I have to make this statement. After all, it is only me who, through my website, is putting loads of highly personal data out into the world, whilst I myself do not collect, store, sell or receive any. But our world can be maddening at times. And no lawyer can stop me from writing this little personal foreword.
To all you warning-letter scammers out there: I’ve meticulously closed the loopholes you’re so keen on exploiting – fonts are installed locally so nothing is transmitted to Google, and my data processing agreement with all-inkl is ready and waiting if anyone wants to see it. I’ve spent countless hours on this statement. So there’s nothing for you to gain here.

Privacy Policy
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various types of personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet may be subject to security vulnerabilities, e.g. when communicating via email.

– Time of the server request

This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website – to this end, the server log files must be collected.

We store your personal data (e.g. your name and email address when you contact us by email) only for as long as is necessary to process your enquiry. The data will then be deleted, provided there are no legal retention obligations to the contrary. We will not pass on your data without your consent.

Right to object to data collection (Art. 21 GDPR)
As we process data on the basis of legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will then cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, such as the security of our web server.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, 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 infringement. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

You may contact us at any time regarding this matter or 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 may contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, 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 the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer require your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of interests between yours and ours must be carried out. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
