In certain circumstances, you may also request restriction of processing of your personal data. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. For this purpose and for any further questions on data protection, please contact us at any time.

3. General Information and Mandatory Information Data Protection The operators of these pages 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 is any data that can identify you personally. 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. Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. email communication) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against third-party access is not possible.

Information on the Responsible Controller The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Franziska Herb Hohle Gasse 16 99425 Weimar Phone: +49 (0) 3635 4689871 Email: mail@franziskaherb.com

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

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 ceases. If you assert a legitimate request for erasure or withdraw consent to processing, your data will be erased unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. statutory retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, erasure will take place after those grounds cease to apply.

General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website Where you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or – where special categories of data are involved – 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. Where consent has been given to the storage of cookies or access to information in your terminal equipment (e.g. via device fingerprinting), processing is additionally based on § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, it is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Processing may also be based on our legitimate interests under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant 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 parties. In some cases, transfer of personal data to these external parties is required. We only disclose personal data to external parties where this is necessary for contract performance, where we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits disclosure. Where processors are used, we disclose personal data of our customers only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In cases of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Consent to Data Processing Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw any consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Data Processing in Certain Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR) WHERE PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA 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 DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEREAFTER 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 breaches 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 exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to you or to a third party. Where you request direct transfer to another controller, this will only take place to the extent technically feasible.

Right to Information, Rectification and Erasure Within the framework of applicable law, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of processing, and – where applicable – a right to rectification or erasure of this data. For this purpose and for further questions on personal data, please contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
• If processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
• If we no longer need 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.
• If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, an assessment must be made between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. Where processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data – apart from storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence 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 a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content (e.g. orders or enquiries) that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

4. Data Collection on This Website Cookies Our webpages use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any harm to your terminal equipment. They are stored 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 your web browser deletes them automatically. Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable certain services of third-party companies to be integrated into webpages (e.g. cookies for payment services). Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. shopping basket function or video display). Other cookies may be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes. Cookies required for the performance of electronic communication, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. shopping basket function) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies for audience measurement) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where 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(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent may be withdrawn at any time. You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Where further cookies and services are used on this website, details can be found in this privacy policy.

Enquiry by Email, Telephone or Fax If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry – including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry) – will be stored and processed for the purpose of handling your request. We do not disclose this data without your consent. Processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or required for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time. Data you send to us via contact enquiries remains with us until you request erasure, withdraw consent to storage, or the purpose for storage ceases (e.g. after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
