Privacy policy

Privacy policy
Protecting your privacy and your personal data when using my website is important to me. Therefore, I adhere strictly to the rules of data protection legislation. In the following I explain what information I collect when you visit my website and how I use this information, if at all.

Personal data
Personal data relates to individual details about personal or material situations of a defined or definable natural person (e.g. your proper name, your address, your telephone number, your date of birth).

Server log files

When you visit my pages, for system security purposes, the following data are stored as standard:

– the connection data of the enquiring computer
– the pages you visit on my website
– the date and duration of the visit
– the data identifying the browser and operating system used
– the website from which you have accessed my website

Failed or rejected access attempts (z.B. due to password protection) are also logged.
The log files of the host name, i.e. IP address of the client, from where my website is accessed are anonymised for data protection reasons. No conclusions are made regarding the data subject when using the web server log data. GDPR art. 6 (1) 1 (f) is the legal basis for this.
Log files are stored for 42 days, error log files for 5 days. The data are deleted automatically.

The handling of personal data
Personal data are only stored when you provide me with such data yourself, e.g. within the scope of a contact form or by e-mail. Such data are transmitted across the Internet in encrypted form.
I only use the personal data that you provide via my website or by e-mail (e.g. your name, postal address or e-mail address) in order to correspond with you or for the purpose for which you have provided me with your data.

Cookies
I have not activated any tracking cookies on this website. “Strictly necessary cookies” are in use. Further cookies may be set by WordPress (and this website is written with WordPress), but some only when you are logged in. Some WordPress plug-ins might also use cookies. Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.
If you are concerned about this issue, use one of the cookie checker websites to find out which cookies, if any, are being used on this website and/or set your browser to reject cookies (which might, however, upset the functionality of some parts of this website) and/or check out the information on cookies available at many sites on the Internet.

Google Analytics
Google Analytics is currently not activated on this website.

Social media
There are no social media links currently activated on this website.

Google Fonts
This website uses Google Fonts and it is currently unclear as to what, if any, data Google collects and/or stores as a result of the use of Google Fonts. If you are concerned about this issue, leave this website and check the information on Google Fonts and privacy available at many sites on the Internet.

Information
Please write to me if you wish to know which data I have stored about you (e.g. name, address). To do this, simply send an e-mail to phil.thrift@ger2eng.com.

Rights of data subjects
1. Right to information
You have the right to be informed at any time about your personal data saved by me.

2. Right to rectification
You have the right to request immediate rectification of any incorrect personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you also have the right to request that incomplete personal data are completed.

3. Right to erasure

5. Right to object
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which takes place owing to a processing in the public interest, in the exercise of official authority or to preserve the legitimate interests of the provider or a third party. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. In the case of objection, I will no longer use the data unless I demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or the processing serves for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Where personal data have been processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to the processing of his or her personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

6. Right to data portability

If you wish to exercise any of your rights, simply send an e-mail to phil.thrift@ger2eng.com.

Right to withdraw consent
You have the right to withdraw consent already given to the processing of your personal data at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. If you wish to withdraw your consent, simply send an e-mail to phil.thrift@ger2eng.com.

Right to lodge a complaint
You have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authorities at any time.
