Privacy Policy

§ 1 General Information

This Privacy Policy provides detailed information about what happens to your personal data when you visit our website, freeslide.de. Any data that makes it possible to identify you personally is considered personal data. When processing your data, we strictly comply with the applicable legal requirements, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). Protecting your data and ensuring a secure visit to our website is very important to us.

§ 2 Controller

The controller responsible for the collection and processing of personal data on this website under data protection law is:

• First name, surname: Simon Wilkat
• Street, house number, postal code, city: Zur Alten Weberei 55, 47918, Tönisvorst 
• Country: Germany
• Email: freeslidegoalie@gmail.com

 

 

§ 3 Google Maps

Our website uses the Google Maps mapping service, which is integrated via an application programming interface (API).

To protect your data when visiting our website, Google Maps is disabled by default. A connection to Google servers is only established once you actively use Google Maps (consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). This prevents your data from being transmitted to Google when you first access our website.

Once Google Maps has been activated, your IP address is collected by Google and is usually transmitted to and stored on a server in the United States. After Google Maps has been activated, the operator of this website has no control over this data transmission.

Detailed information on the processing of user data can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy:
https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

§ 4 Contact Form

If you contact us by email or via the contact form, the data you provide, including your contact details, will be stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and responding to any follow-up questions. This data will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent.

The data submitted via the contact form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw this consent at any time without stating a reason. An informal notification by email is sufficient to withdraw your consent. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

The data submitted via the contact form will be stored by us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

§ 5 Use and Disclosure of Data

We assure you that personal data you provide to us, for example by email, such as your name, address, or email address, will not be sold to third parties or otherwise used commercially. Your data will be processed solely for the purpose of corresponding with you and only for the purpose for which you provided it to us. As part of payment processing, your payment data will be forwarded to the financial institution commissioned to process the payment.

Data collected automatically when you visit our website is used exclusively for the purposes stated above. It is not used for any other purpose.

Protecting your personal data is important to us. We therefore generally do not disclose your data to third parties unless we are legally required to do so or you have explicitly consented to such disclosure.

§ 6 Encryption (SSL/TLS)

Our website uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security and protection of confidential content transmitted through the website. This applies in particular to inquiries that you, as a website visitor, send to us as the website operator. An encrypted connection can be identified by “https://” in your browser’s address bar and by the lock symbol displayed in your browser.

SSL or TLS encryption prevents the data you transmit to us from being read by unauthorized third parties.

§ 7 Storage Period

Personal data that you submit to us via our website will only be stored for as long as is necessary to achieve the respective purpose of the data processing. However, in accordance with commercial and tax-law retention obligations, certain data may need to be stored for up to 10 years.

§ 8 Your Data Protection Rights

As a data subject, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data in accordance with the applicable legal provisions:

A. Right to Withdraw Consent

Many data-processing activities are only possible with your explicit consent. If the processing of your data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future pursuant to Art. 7(3) GDPR.

The lawfulness of data processing carried out on the basis of your consent before its withdrawal remains unaffected. The storage of data for billing and accounting purposes is not affected by withdrawal of consent.

B. Right of Access

Pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether we process your personal data.

If this is the case, you have the right to obtain information about this data, including the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the data has been or will be disclosed, the intended storage period or the criteria used to determine that period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection to processing, the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, the source of the data where it was not collected from you, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling, and, where applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved as well as the significance and intended consequences of such processing for you.

You also have the right to be informed of the safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR that apply where your data is transferred to third countries.

C. Right to Rectification

Pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR, you have the right at any time to request the correction of inaccurate personal data concerning you and/or the completion of incomplete personal data.

D. Right to Erasure

Pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR, you have the right to request the erasure of your personal data if one of the following grounds applies:

a. Your personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.

b. You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

c. You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.

d. The personal data has been processed unlawfully.

e. The personal data must be erased in order to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of a Member State to which we are subject.

f. The personal data was collected in connection with the provision of information society services pursuant to Art. 8(1) GDPR.

This right may be restricted where processing is necessary:

a. to comply with a legal obligation requiring processing under Union or Member State law, or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority;

b. to comply with a legal obligation requiring processing under Union or Member State law, or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us;

c. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) GDPR;

d. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, where the exercise of the data subject’s rights would render the achievement of the objectives of such processing impossible or seriously impair them; or

e. for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

Where we have made your personal data public and are required to erase it under the provisions above, we will, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable measures, including technical measures, to inform controllers processing the personal data that you have requested the erasure of any links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data.

E. Right to Restriction of Processing

Pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time to exercise this right. Our contact details can be found in the Legal Notice.

Restriction of processing may be requested in the following circumstances:

a. If you contest the accuracy of the personal data we hold about you, we generally require time to verify its accuracy. For the duration of this verification, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

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

c. If we no longer require your personal data but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of erasure.

d. If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your interests and ours. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

Once processing has been restricted, your personal data may generally only be processed with your consent. Exceptions apply in certain cases provided for by law, such as the establishment of legal claims or the protection of public interests.

F. Right to Notification

If you exercise your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, we are required pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR to inform all recipients to whom the personal data has been disclosed.

This does not apply where such notification proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. At your request, we will inform you of the recipients of your data.

G. Protection Against Automated Decision-Making (Profiling)

Pursuant to Art. 22 GDPR, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

This does not apply if the decision:

a. is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between you and us;

b. is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and that law also provides suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests; or

c. is based on your explicit consent.

However, decisions in the cases referred to under (a) to (c) may not be based on special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9(1) GDPR unless Art. 9(2)(a) or (g) applies and suitable measures have been put in place to safeguard your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests.

In the cases referred to under (a) and (c), we will take appropriate measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests. This includes at least the right to obtain human intervention by the controller, to express your point of view, and to contest the decision.

H. Right to Data Portability

Where the processing of your personal data is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller or to request that we transmit it directly to another controller, where technically feasible.

I. Right to Object

If we process your personal data on the basis of a balancing of interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to such processing. This also applies to profiling based on this provision.

The applicable legal basis for the processing 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 unless the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to such processing. 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.

With regard to the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

J. Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority Pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.

A complaint may in particular be lodged in the Member State of the data subject’s 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.

Our competent supervisory authority is:

State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia

Postfach 20 04 44
40102 Düsseldorf
