Hosting

External hosting

This website is hosted by an external service provider (host). The provider is Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (Cloudflare Pages). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the host’s servers. This may primarily involve IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact data, names, website accesses and other data generated via a website.

The host is used for the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO (GDPR)) and in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offering by a professional provider (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO). Insofar as corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 Abs. 1 TDDDG (German Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act), insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Our host will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfil its performance obligations and will follow our instructions with regard to this data.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. You can find details here: https://www.cloudflare.com/de-de/privacypolicy/.

Processing of data on behalf

We have concluded a data processing agreement (AVV) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a contract required by data protection law which ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the DSGVO (GDPR).

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 the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy notice.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy notice explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information on the controller

The controller for data processing on this website is:

Andreas Schmidberger
Monikastraße 13
53757 Sankt Augustin

Phone: +49 172-6795078
E-mail: info@schmidberger.ro

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

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy notice, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or withdraw consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion takes place once these reasons no longer apply.

If you have consented to the data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO (GDPR) or Art. 9 Abs. 2 lit. a DSGVO, insofar as special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9 Abs. 1 DSGVO are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Art. 49 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information in your terminal device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of § 25 Abs. 1 TDDDG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the fulfilment of a contract or for the performance of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO. Furthermore, we process your data insofar as it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. c DSGVO. The data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Information on the legal bases applicable in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy notice.

Data protection officer

As this is a purely private website, there is no legal obligation to have a data protection officer.

Information on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or in other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We point out that a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 DSGVO)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F DSGVO, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY NOTICE. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 ABS. 1 DSGVO).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS CONNECTED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 ABS. 2 DSGVO).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of infringements of the DSGVO (GDPR), data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the 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 have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise 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 line.

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

Information, deletion & correction

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, where applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this as well as any further questions on the subject of personal data.

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 for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data took place/is taking place unlawfully, you can request the restriction of the data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Abs. 1 DSGVO, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

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

Data collection on this website

Cookies

This website does not use cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). We do not use any analytics or tracking services.

Our hosting provider Cloudflare may set a technically necessary cookie (“__cf_bm”) to protect against automated attacks. It serves security purposes only, contains no user identifier and is deleted after 30 minutes. The legal basis is Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO (GDPR) in conjunction with § 25 Abs. 2 Nr. 2 TDDDG.

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 the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO (GDPR). The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

Enquiry by e-mail or telephone

If you contact us by e-mail or telephone, your enquiry including all personal data resulting from it (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO (GDPR), insofar as your enquiry is connected with the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO) if this has been requested; the consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data you send to us via contact requests remains with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
