Data Collection on This Website

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the “Controller” section of this privacy policy.

How do we collect your data?

Your data is collected partly through information you provide directly to us — for example, data you enter into a contact form.

Other data is collected automatically or with your consent when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data (e.g. browser, operating system, time of page access), which is collected automatically as soon as you enter the website.

What do we use your data for?

Some data is collected to ensure the website is provided without errors. Other data may be used to analyse your usage behaviour. Where contracts can be initiated or concluded via the website, the data submitted is also processed for contract offers and enquiries.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right to receive free information about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data at any time. You also have the right to request correction or deletion of this data. If you have given consent to data processing, you can withdraw that consent at any time. You also have the right to request restriction of processing under certain circumstances, and the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

For these and other questions regarding data protection, you can contact us at any time.

Data Protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Fabian Georg Sammy Birke Buchenweg 7 83022 Rosenheim, Germany

Phone: (+49) 171 296 81 91 Email: info@fabianbirke.dev

Retention Period

Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw consent, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for retaining it (e.g. tax or commercial law retention obligations).

Where you have consented to data processing, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures, we process on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Processing necessary to fulfil a legal obligation is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Processing based on our legitimate interests is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Recipients of Personal Data

We only pass on personal data to external parties where this is necessary for contract fulfilment, required by law, justified by a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or permitted by another legal basis.

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

Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR)

WHERE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR).

WHERE YOUR DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint

In the event of GDPR violations, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or for contract performance handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format.

Access, Correction, and Deletion

You have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of processing, and the right to have this data corrected or deleted where applicable.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data — in particular where you dispute its accuracy, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data but you require it for legal claims, or you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR.

SSL/TLS Encryption
