Privacy Policy

This privacy policy is intended to inform users of this website about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator, Marc A. Buchholtz. The website operator takes your privacy very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal requirements. As new technologies and the ongoing development of this website may lead to changes being made to this privacy policy, we recommend that you review the privacy policy at regular intervals. Definitions of the terms used (e.g. “personal data” or “processing”) can be found in Article 4 of the GDPR.


Access data
The website operator or hosting provider collects data on visits to the website on the basis of our legitimate interest (see Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) and stores this data as ‘server log files’ on the website’s server. The following data is logged:

  • ​Website visited
  • Time of access
  • Amount of data sent in bytes
  • Source/link from which you accessed the page
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used
  • IP address used

​The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. Data is stored for security reasons, for example to investigate cases of misuse. If data needs to be retained for evidential purposes, it is exempt from deletion until the incident has been fully resolved.

Colletion and processing of personal data
Collection and processing of personal data
The website operator collects, uses and discloses your personal data only where permitted by law or where you have consented to the collection of such data.
Personal data refers to any information that can be used to identify you and that can be traced back to you – for example, your name, email address and telephone number.
You may also visit this website without providing any personal details. However, to improve our online service, we store (without any personal reference) your access data to this website. This access data includes, for example, the file you requested or the name of your internet service provider. As the data is anonymised, it is not possible to draw any conclusions about your identity.
​
The website operator processes personal data only with the express consent of the users concerned and in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations.
​

Handling of contact details
If you contact us, the website operator, via the contact options provided (contact form), your details will be stored so that we can use them to process and respond to your enquiry. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
​

Handling of comments and posts
If you leave a post or comment on this website, your IP address will be stored. This is done on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR and serves to protect us as the website operator: should your comment violate applicable law, we may be held liable, which is why we have an interest in the identity of the author of the comment or post.


Google Analytics
This website may use the “Google Analytics” service, provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), on the basis of our legitimate interests in optimising and analysing our online offering, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The service (Google Analytics) uses ‘cookies’ – text files that are stored on your device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.


​Google LLC complies with European data protection law and is certified under the Privacy Shield Framework: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

This website uses IP anonymisation. Users’ IP addresses are truncated within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area, as well as in the other signatory states to the Agreement. Only in exceptional cases is the IP address first transmitted in full to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. This truncation ensures that your IP address cannot be linked to you personally. The user’s IP address transmitted by the browser is not combined with other data stored by Google.
Under the data processing agreement that we, as the website operator, have concluded with Google Inc., Google uses the information collected to analyse website usage and activity and to provide services related to internet usage.
The data collected by Google on our behalf is used to analyse how individual users utilise our online offering, e.g. to generate reports on website activity, in order to improve our online offering.
You have the option to prevent cookies from being stored on your device by adjusting the relevant settings in your browser. We cannot guarantee that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if your browser does not accept cookies.
Furthermore, you can use a browser plug-in to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to Google Inc. and used by Google Inc.

User rights
As a user, you have the right to request, free of charge, information about which personal data we hold about you. You also have the right to have incorrect data corrected and to restrict the processing of or have your personal data erased. Where applicable, you may also exercise your right to data portability.

Deletion of data
Provided that your request does not conflict with a legal obligation to retain data (e.g. data retention), you have the right to have your data deleted. Data stored by us will be deleted if it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no statutory retention periods. If deletion cannot be carried out because the data is required for legitimate legal purposes, data processing will be restricted. In this case, the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes.
