Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems, or after you have given your consent, when you visit the website.

You have the right at any time and free of charge to obtain information about the source, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the rectification or erasure of this data. If you have consented to data processing, you may withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

You may contact us at any time about this or any other questions relating to data protection.

3. General and mandatory information

Data protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation and this Privacy Policy.

When you use this website, various items of personal data are collected. Personal data means data by which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and how and for what purpose this takes place.

Please note that data transmitted over the internet (for example, in email communications) may be subject to 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:

Bastian Jakobi
Am Dohlberg 5
63654 Büdingen
Germany

Telephone: 015754407486
Email: hello@bastianjakobi.com

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (for example, names or email addresses).

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 no longer applies. If you submit a legitimate request for erasure or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be erased unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (for example, retention periods under tax or commercial law). In the latter case, the data will be erased once those grounds cease to apply.

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

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR where special categories of data within the meaning of Article 9(1) GDPR are processed. If you have expressly consented to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Article 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to cookies being stored or to information on your terminal equipment being accessed (for example, through device fingerprinting), processing is additionally based on section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract, we process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. We also process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) GDPR where this is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation. Processing may also be based on our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The applicable legal basis in each individual case is explained in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of personal data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external organisations. In some cases, it is necessary to transfer personal data to these external organisations. We disclose personal data to external organisations only where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so (for example, disclosure to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the disclosure. When using processors, we disclose our customers' personal data only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the event of joint processing, a joint controller arrangement is entered into.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

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

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

WHERE DATA IS PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF POINT (E) OR (F) OF ARTICLE 6(1) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS. THE APPLICABLE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING IS SET OUT 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 IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).

WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, 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 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 ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of an infringement 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 place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive data that we process by automated means on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, or to have it transmitted to a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transmission of the data to another controller, this will be done only where technically feasible.

Access, rectification and erasure

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time and free of charge to obtain access to your stored personal data, information about its source and recipients and the purpose of the processing. Where applicable, you also have the right to the rectification or erasure of that data. You may contact us at any time about this or any other questions relating to personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

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

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, that data may, apart from being stored, be processed only with your consent, 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 of a Member State.

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 browser's address bar changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock icon in your browser bar.

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

4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your terminal equipment. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your terminal equipment. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your terminal equipment until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies make it possible to integrate certain services provided by third-party companies into websites (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, the shopping basket or video display functions). Other cookies may be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out electronic communications, providing certain functions you have requested (for example, the shopping basket function), or optimising the website (for example, cookies measuring the website audience) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to provide its services in a technically error-free and optimised manner. Where consent to the storing of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of that consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and section 25(1) TDDDG); consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

If additional cookies or services are used on this website, they are described in this Privacy Policy.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This information comprises:

This data is not combined with data from other sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website; server log files must be collected for this purpose.

Enquiries by email, telephone or fax

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

This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in handling enquiries addressed to us effectively (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), where this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Data you send to us in a contact enquiry remains with us until you request its erasure, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data ceases to apply (for example, once your request has been fully handled). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.
