3. General information and mandatory information

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 applicable data protection legislation 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 personally identify you. 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.

Please note that data transmission over the internet, for example when communicating by email, may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information on the controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

DNDY Data and Design GmbH
Berliner Str. 69
13189 Berlin
Germany

Phone: +49 (0) 152 237 33 904
Email: martin.burger@dndy.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, such as names, email addresses or similar information.

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you submit a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data, such as retention periods under tax or commercial law. In such cases, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.

Information on data transfers to the USA and other third countries

We use, among other things, tools provided by companies based in the USA or other third countries that may not provide a level of data protection considered adequate under EU law. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. Please note that a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot necessarily be guaranteed in these countries.

For example, US companies may be required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, necessarily being able to take legal action against this. It therefore cannot be ruled out that US authorities, such as intelligence agencies, may process, analyse and permanently store data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the time of withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.

IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS THE PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ESTABLISH, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

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

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, 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.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format, or to have it transferred to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser.

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

Access, deletion and correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, where applicable, a right to have this data corrected or deleted. You can contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions relating to personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time regarding this matter. 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 require time to verify this. For the duration of this review, 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 deletion.
If we no longer require your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend or establish legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your interests and our interests must be weighed against each other. Until it has been 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, this data may, apart from being stored, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, 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.

Objection to promotional emails

We hereby object to the use of contact details published as part of our legal notice obligations for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information being sent, for example through spam emails.

4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you visit our website (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services provided by the third party, for example cookies used to process payment services.

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them, for example shopping cart functions or the display of videos. Other cookies are used to analyse user behaviour or display advertising.

Cookies required to carry out electronic communications (necessary cookies), to provide certain functions requested by you (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping cart), or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies used to measure website audiences) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the relevant cookies are stored exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

Where cookies from third-party companies or cookies for analytics purposes are used, we will inform you separately in this privacy policy and, where necessary, request your consent.

Enquiries by email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data arising from it, such as your name and the nature of your enquiry, will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not pass this data on without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry relates to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), where such consent has been requested.

The data you send to us through contact enquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, for example once your enquiry has been fully processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.

5. Analytics tools and advertising

WordPress Statistics

This website uses “WordPress Statistics” to statistically analyse visitor traffic. The provider is Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110-4929, USA.

WordPress Statistics uses technologies that make it possible to recognise users for the purpose of analysing user behaviour, for example cookies or device fingerprinting. For analysis purposes, WordPress Statistics collects, among other things, log files such as referrer, IP address and browser information, the origin of website visitors such as country and city, and the actions they perform on the website, such as clicks, views and downloads.

The information collected about the use of this website is stored on servers in the USA. Your IP address is anonymised after processing and before being stored.

This analytics tool is used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the anonymised analysis of user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising. Where corresponding consent has been requested, for example consent to the storage of cookies, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

6. Plugins and tools

Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The operator of this website has no influence over this data transfer.

When Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Web Fonts for the uniform display of fonts. When you access Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display text and fonts correctly.

Google Maps is used in the interest of presenting our online services in an appealing manner and making the locations listed on our website easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Data transfers to the USA are based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here:
