The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.

If you use this website, various personal data will be collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This data protection declaration explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

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 body

The responsible body for data processing on this website is:

Christopher Mihm
Pfahlweg 64a
25436 Tornesch
Germany

Phone: 0176 23569670 (no phone support)

The responsible body is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Storage duration

Unless a specific storage period has been specified in this data protection declaration, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you submit 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. tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons have ceased to exist.

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 Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or, in the case of processing special categories of data under Art. 9(1) GDPR, on the basis of Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR. If you have explicitly consented to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The specific legal basis applicable in each individual case is explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Notice Regarding Data Transfers to Countries Not Deemed Safe Under Data Protection Law and Transfers to US Companies Not Certified Under the DPF

We use, among other things, tools from companies based in countries that are not considered safe under data protection law, as well as US-based tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. We would like to point out that in such countries, an adequate level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed.

We point out that the United States is generally considered a safe third country with a data protection level comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the USA is permitted if the recipient is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or possesses appropriate additional safeguards. You can find information about transfers to third countries, including the recipients of the data, in this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This may also require the transmission of personal data to such external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., data transmission to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only disclose personal data of our customers based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, 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 FOR PROCESSING 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 DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations 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 the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

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

Right to Access, Erasure, and Rectification

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. For this purpose, as well as for any 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. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the 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 need it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
  • If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense 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.

Objection to Promotional Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any harm to your end device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services provided by 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 may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g., for the shopping cart), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) 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 storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies, 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 notify you about the setting of cookies, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.

You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.

Cookies and Access Statistics Notifications

We use “session cookies” from VG Wort, Munich, to measure access to texts in order to determine the likelihood of copying. Session cookies are small units of information that a provider stores in the working memory of the visitor’s computer. A session cookie stores a randomly generated unique identification number, a so-called session ID. In addition, a cookie contains information about its origin and its storage period. Session cookies cannot store any other data. These measurements are carried out by Kantar Deutschland GmbH using the Scalable Central Measurement Method (SZM). They help to determine the likelihood of individual texts being copied, which is relevant for the remuneration of legal entitlements of authors and publishers. We do not collect any personal data via cookies.

Many of our pages include JavaScript calls that report accesses to the collecting society VG Wort. This enables our authors to participate in VG Wort’s distributions, which ensure statutory remuneration for the use of copyrighted works pursuant to § 53 of the German Copyright Act (UrhG).

You can also use our services without cookies. Most browsers are configured to accept cookies automatically. However, you can disable the storage of cookies or configure your browser to notify you when cookies are sent.

Privacy Policy for the Use of the Scalable Central Measurement Method

Our website and mobile offering use the “Scalable Central Measurement Method” (SZM) from Kantar Deutschland GmbH to determine statistical metrics regarding the likelihood of texts being copied.

Anonymous measurement data is collected in the process. To recognize computer systems, access measurement uses either a session cookie or a signature that is created from various automatically transmitted browser information. IP addresses are processed only in anonymized form.

This method was developed with data protection in mind. The sole purpose of the procedure is to determine the likelihood of individual texts being copied.

At no time are individual users identified. Your identity is always protected. You will not receive any advertising through this system.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data 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 optimization of his website – the server log files must be recorded for this purpose.

Inquiries by Email, Telephone, or Fax

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

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if such consent has been obtained; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Social media

Our social media appearances

Data processing by social networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The social networks we use in detail can be found below.

Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. can usually analyze your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. Like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presence triggers numerous data protection-related processing operations. In detail:

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Under certain circumstances, however, your personal data can also be recorded if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address.

With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you both inside and outside of the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are logged in or were logged in.

Please also note that we cannot trace all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and data protection regulations of the respective social media portals.

Legal basis

Our social media appearances should ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases that must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

Controller and assertion of rights

If you visit one of our social media presences (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can exercise your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data transferability and complaints) both against us as well as the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. vs. Facebook).

Please note that despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are largely based on the corporate policy of the respective provider.

Storage duration

The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies, you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Saved cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of your data, which is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their data protection declaration, see below).

TikTok

Description and scope of data processing

The social media application TikTok is an international video portal. It is used for the so-called lip synchronization of music videos and other short video clips.

TikTok is operated by the Chinese company ByteDance.

TikTok’s privacy policy forms the basis on which TikTok processes all data that TikTok collects from users or that is provided by users.

According to the data protection declaration, TikTok Technology Limited (“TikTok Ireland”) and TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited (“TikTok UK”) are responsible for the processing of personal data. The data protection declaration usually uses the abbreviated form “TikTok”, “we” or “us”.

If you have given your consent to advertising, TikTok will use your data to show you personalized advertising.

Legal basis

The personalized advertising that TikTok shows you is based on your consent. Otherwise, TiKTok processes user data on the basis of a contract (Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter b GDPR), as a result of a weighing of interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter f GDPR) or to fulfill legal obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter c GDPR). Consent can be revoked by the user and processing based on a balancing of interests can be objected to in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR. For details, please see TikTok’s privacy policy and terms of use (see link below).

Purpose

TikTok processes personal data for various purposes, including to provide its services, to notify users about changes to the services, to provide users with support, to enable users to share user content with other users , to develop new services or to comply with legal obligations.

Among other things, TikTok collects the following data about its users: profile data, user content and usage data, location data, information about the respective contacts/friends.

For more information on how your data is used and what data is processed, please see TikTok’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use (see link below).

Duration of storage

TikTok keeps users’ data for as long as is necessary to provide the service to users, to be able to fulfill its contractual obligations and to be able to exercise its rights in relation to the information in question. If the information of the users is not required to provide the service, the user data will only be retained by TikTok for as long as TikTok can pursue a legitimate business purpose with the storage of this data.

If a user asks TikTok to delete his account, it will first be deactivated for a few weeks. The account will then be deleted. In the course of this, the personal data of the users regarding the in-app message function will also be deleted. Messages that you have sent to other users of the TikTok service remain stored on their devices.

In its data protection declaration (see link below), TikTok also points out any longer deletion or retention periods.

Revocation, objection and end of processing

TikTok offers its users the opportunity to control and manage their own user data (personal data) via the setting options. TikTok also offers its users automated information services with which you can obtain information about how your data is processed. Within the framework of the legal requirements, you also have the right to delete and correct the data and can object to the use of your data or have the use restricted and revoke the consent you have given at any time.

Additional note

Please note that the TikTok Terms of Service and Privacy Policy are subject to change at any time. Therefore, please inquire about the topicality of these texts at regular intervals. The DSV Group assumes no liability for the topicality, correctness or completeness of the information provided, which relates to the TikTok terms of use and data protection declaration.

Questions about TikTok’s privacy policy:
For users who have questions about TikTok’s data protection declaration or would like to contact TikTok’s data protection officer, TikTok provides a contact form which is linked via the data protection declaration.

General linking to third-party profiles

The provider includes a link on the website to the social media listed below.

The legal basis for this is Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest of the provider is to improve the quality of use of the website.

The plugins are integrated via a linked graphic. The user is only forwarded to the service of the respective social media by clicking on the corresponding graphic.

After the customer has been forwarded, information about the user is recorded by the respective social media. This is initially data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is logged into his/her user account of the respective social media at the same time, the social media operator can, if required, assign the information collected from the user’s specific visit to the user’s personal account. If the user interacts via a “Share” button of the respective social media, this information can be stored in the user’s personal user account and, if required, be published. If the user wants to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to his/her user account, the user must log out before clicking on the graphic.

Social-Media-Plugins with Shariff

This website incorporates elements from social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr).

You can usually recognize the social media elements by the respective social media logos.
To ensure data protection on this website, we use these elements only in conjunction with the so-called “Shariff” solution. This application prevents the integrated social media elements on this website from transferring your personal data to the respective provider as soon as you enter the site.

A direct connection to the provider’s server is only established once you activate the respective social media element by clicking the associated button (consent). Once you activate the social media element, the respective provider will be informed that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you are simultaneously logged into your corresponding social media account (e.g., Facebook), the provider may associate your visit to this website with your user account.

Activating the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You may withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future.

The use of this service is carried out in order to obtain the legally required consents for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
