3. General notes and mandatory information 


Privacy

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat you personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy
policy.
When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data with which you can be
personally identified. 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 on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail)
can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.


Note on the responsible entity

The responsible party for data processing on this website is: Timo Eckmüller

Veit-Stoß-Strasse 100
80687 Munich
Telephone: [telephone number of the responsible
office] E-mail: timo.eckmueller@web.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 (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).


Storage duration 

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within 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. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in
the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply. 


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

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO or
Art. 9 (2) a DSGVO, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the case of
explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art.
49 (1) a DSGVO. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your
terminal device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally carried out on the basis
of Section 25 (1) TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the
performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data
on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfillment of a
legal obligation, we process it on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. Furthermore, the data
processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f
DSGVO. Information about the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following
paragraphs of this privacy policy.


Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

Among other things, we 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 may be transferred to
these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection
comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries.
For example, U.S. companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data
subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence
services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We
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 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 DSGVO)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F DSGVO,
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME
FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; 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 YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING
LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND
FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR
DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21 (1) DSGVO).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS 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 THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS
CONNECTED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL
SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION
PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21 (2) DSGVO)


Right of complaint to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects shall have a right of appeal to a supervisory authority,
in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged
breach. The right of appeal is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.


Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we 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 controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.


 Information, correction and deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information
about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary,
a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject
of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you
can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For theduration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you may request the restriction
of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or enforce legal claims, you
have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO, a balancing of your and our interests must
be carried out. As long as it has not yet 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 assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection
of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European
Union or a Member State.

your end device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or
permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the
end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or
until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party
cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies within
websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions
would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be
used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions
that you have requested (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure
the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO, unless another legal basis is
specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and
comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of
this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in
individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic
deletion of cookies when closing the browser. When deactivating cookies, the functionality of this
website may be limited.
Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) if this has
been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your
consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have completed
processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain
unaffected.

other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of requests
addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) if this has
been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

experience, and prevent fraud attempts.
