Data privacy statement

Personal data will only be processed by me to the extent necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website, including its contents, and the services offered there.

Per art. 4 no. 1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as the "GDPR"), "processing" means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

The following data privacy statement is intended to inform you in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis for the processing of such data either under my own control or in conjunction with others. I also inform you below about the third-party components I use to optimize my website and improve the user experience which may result in said third parties also processing data they collect and control.

My data privacy statement is structured as follows:

I. Information about me as controller of your data
II. The rights of users and data subjects
III. Information about the processing of personal data
IV. Online presence in social media/social networks
V. Cooperation with processors and third parties
VI. Processing of personal data by cookies

I. Information about me as controller of your personal data

The party responsible for this website (the "controller") for purposes of data privacy statement is:

Daniela Decker M. A.
Piusstraße 36
50823 Cologne
Germany

+49 (0)1788067821

The controller's data protection officer is:

Daniela Decker M. A.

II. The rights of users and data subjects

With regard to the data processing to be described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right

  • to a confirmation of whether personal data concerning them is being processed, information about the personal data being processed, further information about the nature of the data processing, and a copy of the personal data (cf. also art. 15 GDPR, Right of access by the data subject);
  • to correct or complete incorrect or incomplete personal data (cf. also art. 16 GDPR, Right to rectification);
  • to the immediate deletion of personal data concerning them (cf. also art. 17 GDPR, Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")), or, alternatively, if further processing is necessary as stipulated in art. 17 § 3 GDPR, to restrict said processing per art. 18 GDPR (Right to restriction of processing);
  • to receive copies of the personal data concerning them and/or provided by them and to have the same transmitted to other providers/controllers (cf. also art. 20 GDPR, Right to data portability);
  • to file complaints with the supervisory authority if they believe that personal data concerning them is being processed by the controller in breach of data protection provisions (see also art. 77 GDPR, Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority).

In addition, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom it discloses personal data of any such corrections, deletions, or restrictions placed on processing the same per art. 16, 17 § 1, 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if such notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Nevertheless, users have a right to information about these recipients.

Likewise, under art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the right to object to the controller's future processing of their personal data pursuant to art. 6 § 1 lit. f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permissible.

III. Information about the processing of personal data

Your personal data processed when using my website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for its storage ceases to apply, provided the deletion of the same is not in breach of any statutory storage obligations and no other information on individual processing procedures is provided below.

Server data

For technical reasons, the following personal data sent by your internet browser to me or to my server provider will be collected, especially to ensure a secure and stable website. In these so called server log files the following information will be recorded (list not exhaustive):

  • the type and version of your browser;
  • the operating system;
  • the website from which you came (referrer URL);
  • the webpages visited on my website;
  • the date and time of your visit;
  • the IP address you used to visit my website.

The personal data thus collected will be temporarily stored, but not together with any other personal data of yours. This means that no conclusions can be drawn about your person.

The basis for this storage is art. 6 § 1 lit. f) GDPR. My legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality, and security of my website.

The personal data will be deleted within no more than seven days, unless continued storage is required for evidentiary purposes. In which case, all or part of the personal data will be excluded from deletion until the investigation of the relevant incident is finally resolved.

Contact

If you contact me by e-mail, the personal data you provide will be used for the purpose of processing your request. I need this personal data in order to process and answer your inquiry; otherwise I will not be able to answer it at all or can only partly answer it.

The legal basis for the processing of this personal data is art. 6 § 1 lit. b) GDPR.

Your personal data will be deleted once I have fully answered your inquiry and there is no further legal obligation to store your personal data, such as an order or contract resulted therefrom.

I would like to point out that with regard to the Internet-based transmission of personal data security gaps are possible. A complete protection against access to your personal data by third parties can therefore not be guaranteed.

IV. Online presence in social media/social networks

I am present in social media/social networks (hereinafter referred to as "platforms"). In order to be able to communicate with my customers via these platforms, I have stored information about myself on various platforms and make it available in accordance with the terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of the respective operators.

Unless otherwise stated in my data privacy statement, I process the personal data voluntarily provided by users who communicate with me within these platforms. This applies, for example, to messages sent on and via these platforms.

I use the following platforms:

LinkedIn (privacy policy of LinkedIn)
Xing (privacy policy of Xing)
ProZ (privacy policy of ProZ)
Eureo (privacy policy of Eureo)

V. Cooperation with processors and third parties

Should I disclose personal data to third parties in the context of data processing, this will only take place on the basis of legal permission. This only happens

  • if a transmission of this personal data, e.g. to payment service providers, is necessary for contract fulfilment (art. 6 section 1 lit. b) GDPR);
  • if you have consented;
  • if a legal obligation requires to do so;
  • if this is done on the basis of legitimate interest (e.g. transmission of information to web space providers, e-mail service providers, contractors, etc.);
  • on the basis of a contract with a so-called "processor" (art. 28 GDPR).

VI. Processing of personal data by cookies

My website does not set cookies.
