Privacy policy

Privacy policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is a particularly high priority for the management of Webdesign Sturm. In principle, the websites of Webdesign Sturm can be used without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services offered by our company through our website, it may become necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for that processing, we generally obtain the data subject's consent.

Personal data, such as a data subject's name, address, email address or telephone number, are always processed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to Webdesign Sturm. Through this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. This privacy policy also informs data subjects about the rights to which they are entitled.

The Webdesign Sturm has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures as the controller in order to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed via this website; however, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us also by alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

The privacy policy of Webdesign Sturm is based on the terms used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public, our customers and our business partners. To ensure this, we would first like to explain the terms used.

In this data protection declaration, we use the following terms, among other things:

• a) Personal data

  Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the 'data subject'). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to that natural person's physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.

• b) Data subject

  Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.

• c) Processing

  Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on 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.

• d) Restriction of processing

  Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.

• e) Profiling

  Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data that consists of using those personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.

• f) Pseudonymisation

  Pseudonymisation means processing personal data in such a way that they can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without using additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

• g) Controller or data controller

  The controller, or person responsible for processing, is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of that processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

• h) Processor

  Processor is a natural or legal person, authority, entity or other entity that processes personal data on behalf of the Controller.

• i) Recipient

  Recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, body or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether or not it is a third party, but authorities which may receive personal data under a specific investigation mandate under Union or Member State law are not considered recipients.

• j) Third party

  A third party shall be a natural or legal person, authority, body or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor.

• k) Consent

  Consent is any voluntary expression of intent given by the data subject for the specific case in an informed and unambiguous manner, in the form of a declaration or other clear confirmatory act by which the data subject indicates that he or she agrees to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

2. Name and address of the controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions with a data protection character is:

3. Cookies

The websites of Webdesign Sturm use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system through an internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be associated with the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the websites and servers visited to distinguish the data subject's individual browser from other internet browsers containing different cookies. A particular internet browser can be recognized and identified through its unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Webdesign Sturm can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without setting cookies.

Cookies allow the information and offers on our website to be optimised in the user's interests. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make our website easier for users to use. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their login details again every time they visit, because the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system take care of this. Another example is the cookie for a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop uses a cookie to remember the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

Whenever a data subject or an automated system accesses the Webdesign Sturm website, it collects a range of general data and information. These general data and information are stored in the server's log files. The following may be recorded: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (the so-called referrer), (4) the subpages accessed on our website through an accessing system, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the accessing system's internet service provider, and (8) other similar data and information used to avert threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, Webdesign Sturm does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver our website's content correctly, (2) optimize our website's content and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the lasting functionality of our information technology systems and our website's technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. Webdesign Sturm therefore evaluates these anonymously collected data and information both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. contact option via the website

The website of the Webdesign Sturm contains, due to legal regulations, information that enables a quick electronic contact with our company and a direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). Where a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically; such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

6. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores the data subject's personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or insofar as this is provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies, or a retention period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.

7. Rights of the data subject

• a) Right to confirmation

  Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning them are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

• b) Right of access

  Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller, at any time and free of charge, information about the personal data stored concerning them and a copy of that information. The European legislator has also granted the data subject access to the following information:

  • the processing purposes;
  • the categories of personal data processed;
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations;
  • where possible, the planned duration for which the personal data are stored or, where this is not possible, the criteria for determining that duration;
  • the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data relating to them or to restriction of processing by the controller or to object to such processing;
  • the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority
  • If the personal data are not collected from the data subject: All available information about the origin of the data
  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) DS-GVO and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and intended consequences of such processing for the data subject

  Furthermore, the data subject has a right of access to whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation and, where this is the case, the data subject has the right to obtain information on the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.

  If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, he or she can contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

• c) Right to rectification

  Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to request the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them without undue delay. Taking into account the purposes of processing, the data subject also has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by providing a supplementary statement.

  If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of rectification, he or she can contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

• d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

  Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to require the controller to erase personal data concerning them without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data have been collected or otherwise processed for such purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
  • The data subject withdraws the consent on which processing was based under Article 6(1)(a) DS-GVO or Article 9(2)(a) DS-GVO, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  • The data subject objects to processing under Article 21(1) DS-GVO and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for processing, or the data subject objects to processing under Article 21(2) DS-GVO.
  • The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
  • The erasure of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
  • The personal data were collected in connection with the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) DS-GVO.

  If one of the above grounds applies and a data subject wishes to arrange the erasure of personal data stored by Webdesign Sturm, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time. The data protection officer of Webdesign Sturm or another employee will arrange for the erasure request to be complied with without undue delay.

  Where Webdesign Sturm has made personal data public and our company, as controller, is obliged to erase those personal data under Article 17(1) DS-GVO, Webdesign Sturm takes reasonable steps, including technical measures, taking account of the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by those other controllers of all links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data, insofar as processing is not necessary. The data protection officer of Webdesign Sturm or another employee will arrange the necessary measures in each individual case.

• e) Right to restriction of processing

  Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to require the controller to restrict processing where one of the following conditions applies:

  • The accuracy of the personal data shall be contested by the data subject for a period which allows the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
  • The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and instead requests restriction of their use.
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject needs them for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.
  • The data subject has objected to processing under Article 21(1) DS-GVO, and it has not yet been determined whether the controller's legitimate grounds override those of the data subject.

  If one of the above conditions applies and a data subject wishes to request restriction of the processing of personal data stored by Webdesign Sturm, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time. The data protection officer of Webdesign Sturm or another employee will arrange restriction of the processing.

• f) Right to data portability

  Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning them that they have provided to a controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data were provided, where processing is based on consent under Article 6(1)(a) DS-GVO or Article 9(2)(a) DS-GVO, or on a contract under Article 6(1)(b) DS-GVO, and processing is carried out by automated means, provided that processing is not necessary for performing a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

  Furthermore, when exercising the right to data portability under Article 20(1) DS-GVO, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where this is technically feasible and does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

  To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may contact the data protection officer appointed by Webdesign Sturm or another employee at any time.

• g) Right to object

  Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them that is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) DS-GVO. This also applies to profiling based on those provisions.

  In the event of an objection, Webdesign Sturm no longer processes the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override the data subject's interests, rights and freedoms, or unless processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

  If Webdesign Sturm processes personal data for direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to processing of their personal data for that marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Webdesign Sturm processing their data for direct marketing, Webdesign Sturm will no longer process the personal data for those purposes.

  The data subject also has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them by Webdesign Sturm for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes under Article 89(1) DS-GVO, unless such processing is necessary for performing a task carried out in the public interest.

  To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact the data protection officer of Webdesign Sturm or another employee directly. In the context of using information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject is also free to exercise the right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

• h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

  Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and that law contains appropriate measures to safeguard the data subject's rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is made with the data subject's explicit consent.

  If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is made with the data subject's explicit consent, Webdesign Sturm takes appropriate measures to safeguard the data subject's rights, freedoms and legitimate interests. These include at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their own point of view and to contest the decision.

  If the data subject wishes to assert rights in relation to automated decisions, he or she can contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

• i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

  Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

  If the data subject wishes to assert his or her right to withdraw consent, he or she can contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

8. Data protection provisions concerning the use of Amazon Associates programme functions

As a participant in the Amazon Associates programme, the controller has integrated Amazon components into this website. Amazon designed these components to refer customers, through advertisements, to various websites of the Amazon group, in particular Amazon.com, Local.Amazon.com, Amazon.de, BuyVIP.com, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it and Amazon.es. BuyVIP.com, in return for payment of a commission. The controller can generate advertising revenue by using the Amazon components.

The company operating these Amazon components is Amazon EU S.à.r.l, 5 Rue Plaetis, L-2338 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

Amazon places a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. Cookies have already been explained above. Whenever a person accesses one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller on which an Amazon component has been integrated, the relevant Amazon component automatically prompts the internet browser on the data subject's information technology system to transmit data to Amazon for online advertising and commission accounting. As part of this technical process, Amazon obtains knowledge of personal data that it uses to trace the origin of orders received by Amazon and subsequently enable commission accounting. Among other things, Amazon can determine that the data subject clicked an affiliate link on our website.

As explained above, the data subject can prevent our website from setting cookies at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used, thereby permanently objecting to cookies being set. This browser setting would also prevent Amazon from placing a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. Cookies already set by Amazon can also be deleted at any time through an internet browser or other software programmes.

Further information and Amazon's applicable data protection provisions are available at https://www.amazon.de/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=3312401.

9. Legal basis of processing

Article 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves as the legal basis for our company's processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If processing personal data is necessary for performing a contract to which the data subject is a party, for example processing necessary for supplying goods or providing another service or consideration, processing is based on Article 6 I lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to processing operations necessary for taking pre-contractual measures, such as enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires personal data to be processed, for example to fulfil tax obligations, processing is based on Article 6 I lit. c DS-GVO. In rare cases, processing personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. Processing would then be based on Article 6 I lit. d DS-GVO.
Finally, processing operations may be based on Article 6 I lit. f DS-GVO. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the legal bases mentioned above, where processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the data subject's interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms do not override that interest. Such processing operations are permitted in particular because the European legislator expressly mentioned them. In this regard, the legislator considered that a legitimate interest could exist where the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47, sentence 2 DS-GVO).

10. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party in the processing

Where personal data are processed on the basis of Article 6 I lit. f DS-GVO, our legitimate interest is carrying out our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.

11. Duration for which the personal data are stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory storage period and, after the expiry of the period, the corresponding data are routinely deleted if they are no longer necessary for the performance of the contract or initiation of the contract.

12. Statutory or contractual provisions requiring the provision of personal data; necessity for entering into a contract; the data subject's obligation to provide personal data; possible consequences of not providing them

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information about the contractual partner).
Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us; for example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer informs the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences the non-provision of the personal data would have.

13. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.

This model privacy policy was created using the DS-GVO privacy policy generator of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz, in cooperation with the media law lawyers WILDE BEUGER SOLMECKE | Lawyers from Cologne.
