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 statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains which 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 (e.g. communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information about the Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Moritz Leopold
E-mail: contact@moritz-leopold.de

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.

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you 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 retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

Legal Bases for Data Processing

If you have given your consent, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or, where special categories of data are processed, Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, 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 is additionally based on Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

If your data are required for contract fulfillment or pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if necessary to comply with a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The specific legal basis applicable in each case is explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Notice Regarding Data Transfers to Third Countries That Are Not Considered Secure Under Data Protection Law and Transfers to US Companies That Are Not DPF Certified

We use, among other things, tools from companies based in third countries that are not considered secure under data protection law, as well as US-based tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there.

We would like to point out that in third countries that are not considered secure under data protection law, a level of data protection comparable to that in the European Union cannot be guaranteed.

Please note that the United States is generally considered a secure third country if the recipient is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) or provides appropriate additional safeguards. Transfers of data to the United States are permissible if the recipient holds DPF certification or provides suitable additional guarantees.

Information on transfers to third countries, including the data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties.

We only transfer personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer.

When using processors, we transfer personal data of our customers only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal 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 legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special 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 to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, 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 lodge an objection, we will no longer process your personal data concerned 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 pursuant to 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 personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently 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 violations 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. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, either for yourself or for transmission to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Information, Rectification, and Erasure

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 rectification or erasure of this data. You may contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time to exercise this right.

The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

• If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

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

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

• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – apart from storage – 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 of a Member State.
