These collected personal data and informations are evaluated exclusively by me in order to increase data protection and data security. The personal data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of personal data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO for the protection of my interests…

3.2 Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after one month at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible in anonymized form. In this case, the IP addresses are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

If the personal data is required for the prosecution of a criminal offense, it will be deleted after expiration of the proceedings in compliance with the statutory retention periods.

3.3 Need to provide

The provision of the data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, the collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website.

Failure to provide personal data may result in disadvantages for you. For example, this could result in you not being able to receive or use our services (e.g. access to the website may not be possible). However, unless otherwise stated, you will not suffer any legal disadvantages from not providing it.

On my website, possibly in the future, users will be given the opportunity to subscribe to a newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to the responsible person when ordering press releases and newsletters can be seen from the input mask used for this purpose. As a rule, only the name, the e-mail address, additionally the IP address and the time of registration are collected.

4.1 Purpose of processing and legal basis

The personal data collected in the context of a registration for the newsletter dispatch are used exclusively for the dispatch of my newsletter. My future newsletters may contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a thumbnail graphic that is embedded in my emails to provide a log file record and log file analysis. This allows a statistical analysis.

All personal data collected in my newsletters containing tracking pixels are stored and evaluated exclusively by me in order to optimize newsletter delivery and to improve to adapt the content of future newsletter content to the interests of the respective data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

Cookies may be necessary for our website to function properly. By setting cookies, I can, for example, determine that you have logged into in to my website

Through the use of cookies, I can provide a more user-friendly service that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on my website can be optimized in the sense of the user. Cookies allow me, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of my website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use my website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time when he or she visits the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookies stored on the user’s computer system.

However, cookies can also be used to analyze website usage. This then determines, for example, how many users visit the website and where the website can possibly be improved. However, this analysis does not establish a link between you and the statistics generated on the basis of the data collected. Insofar as we use cookies for website analysis, we will inform you about this.

Before you can visit my website at all, I ask you for your consent, so that the setting of cookies in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR is justified. The cookies that I absolutely need to provide the website, I use on the basis of legitimate interest under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

I use the data collected by cookies for as long as they are required for the respective stated purpose.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by my website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of my website may be fully usable.

Within my website, the “Google custom search” (Google Custom Search Engine “Google CSE”) of Google Inc. (“Google”), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA as a central search service. The embedded search service allows a full-text search for content on my website. Access to this search function is possible via a search box embedded in the header of each website.

For the information of the users of the website, a Google icon is displayed in the search box.

8.1 Activating the search

By entering a search term in the search box and then pressing the enter key or the search icon (magnifying glass symbol), the user activates the search function and the search results page is called up, which loads the corresponding search results from Google by means of a plugin provided by Google. In the process, data is transferred to the tracing service.

Google states that, in principle, the following information (including personal data) may be processed, among others:

Log data (in particular the IP address);

Site-related information;

Unique application numbers;

Cookies and similar technologies.

If you are logged into your Google account, Google may add the processed information to your account depending on your account settings and treat it as personal data, see in particular https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/partners/.

Google states the following about this, among other things:

I may link personal data from one service with information and personal data from other Google services. By doing so, I make it easier for you to share content with friends and acquaintances. Depending on your account settings, your activities on other websites and apps may be linked to your personal data to improve Google’s services and ads served by Google.” (https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/index.html)

You can prevent this data from being added directly by logging out of your Google account or also by making the corresponding account settings in your Google account. Furthermore, you may refuse the use of cookies – if Google sets them – by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

You can find more information in Google’s privacy policy, which you can access here:

https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

For information about Google’s privacy settings, see:

https://privacy.google.com/take-control.html

8.2 Search result page

The plugin developed and provided by Google (Google Custom Search Engine “Google CSE”) is integrated into the search results page by the responsible party as a software module “as-is” (unchanged). The plugin enables automated communication (data exchange) between the called search results page and the Google service when the search results page is called. The use of the search function provided by Google involves a dynamic transfer of data by the service provider Google to the search results page.

8.3 Transfer of data to Google

Data is only transferred to Google as soon as the user activates the search box, starts a full-text search and thereby calls up the search results page. By using the search function within the search results page, user data is also transmitted to Google at the same time.

8.4 Legal basis: Consent to data transmission by using Google search

Before using the full text search and the associated call of the search results page, you will be asked for your consent to the processing by me and Google and the transfer of data to the Google service in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO asked. This includes, for example, the search terms you entered and the IP address of the computer you are using.

If you are logged in to Google at the same time, the Google service is able to assign the information directly to your user profile. You should log out to avoid collection of profile information about you.

It cannot be ruled out that Google also transmits the information to a server in a third country. As can be seen from Google’s Privacy Shield certification (available at https://www.privacyshield.gov/list under the search term “Google”), Google has committed to comply with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework on the collection, use and retention of personal data from the member states of the EU and Switzerland, respectively. Google, including Google LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries in the U.S., has declared by certification that it complies with the Privacy Shield Principles. For more information, visit https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/frameworks/.

You can find more information about data processing by Google in Google’s privacy policy.

9.1 General

9.1.1 Social media links on my website

When you visit my website, no personal data is initially passed on to the operators of the social media platforms. On my website you will only find passive links to Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. They are neither disabled social media buttons nor active plug-ins. Therefore, personal data is only transmitted to the operators of the social media platforms when you actively click on the links and are thus redirected to the social media website itself.

The legal basis for the processing of data via access by link on my website based on your consent is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO, which you grant by activating the link (1st click). I would like to point out that data processing by Facebook, Twitter and Instagram may involve processing of users’ data outside the area of the European Union. This could result in risks for users, because it could, for example, make it more difficult to enforce users’ rights. For details, please refer to the privacy policy of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. With regard to U.S. providers certified under the Privacy Shield, I point out that they thereby commit to comply with EU data protection standards.

9.2 Facebook

My website contains a link to the social network Facebook of Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, operated within the EU by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (collectively “Facebook”). When you click on the link, you will be redirected to the Facebook website. In doing so, Facebook obtains knowledge of the IP address assigned to you as well as the information that the user of this IP address has accessed the corresponding page you visited. If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “Like” button or posting a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there.

If you visit my fan page, Facebook collects, stores and processes your personal data in accordance with the Facebook Privacy Policy. The privacy policy can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php/

9.5 Instagram

My Instagram account is operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland (“Facebook”). The link used on my website is marked with the Instagram logo in the form of an “Instagram camera”. You can find me at @flugmedberlin.

Your browser only establishes a direct connection to Facebook’s servers when you click on the link. By visiting my Instagram channel, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of my website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged in to Instagram. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to a Facebook server in Ireland and the USA and stored there.

When visiting my fan page, personal data is stored and processed by Facebook as the provider in accordance with Facebook’s privacy policy. You can find the privacy policy here. https://www.facebook.com/help/instagram/155833707900388

I will only process data to the above-mentioned and limited extent (see section 12.1.2).

Not only Facebook Ireland Limited, but also Facebook Inc. in the USA processes your personal data. Through certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield (“EU-US Privacy Shield”)https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active, Facebook Inc. guarantees that EU data protection requirements are also complied with when processing data in the USA.10. Links to other websites11. Processors and third parties

For ease of use and information purposes, my website contains links to other websites Such websites are operated independently of us. Where we provide links to websites of other organizations, this privacy statement does not apply to the processing of personal data by those organizations. Linked sites have their own privacy policies or statements; I encourage you to review them carefully when visiting linked sites, as I am not responsible for the content of such sites, nor for any use or privacy practices of such sites.

I will only share your personal data with service providers and other third parties in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

I may disclose personal information to those service providers I engage and require them to perform services on my behalf. This concerns in particular the processing of your personal data during website maintenance. In doing so, I observe the strict applicable national and European data protection regulations. For the operation of my website I have used an IT service provider. This service provider is subject to my instructions and is subject to strict contractual restrictions regarding the processing of personal data. Accordingly, processing is only permitted to the extent necessary to perform the services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. It is specified in advance by me exactly what rights and obligations my service provider should have with regard to personal data.

In addition, I pass on your personal data,

• if they are required to do so by law or court order,
• To law enforcement or other governmental agencies; or
• When they believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss, or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual fraudulent or illegal activity.

In addition, should the controller or its assets be sold, transferred or otherwise restructured, in whole or in part, I reserve the right to transfer data relating to you that is held by me. Following such disposal or transfer, if you have any questions about the processing of such data, you may contact the entity to which I transferred your personal data.

I process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by the European legislator or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

The deadlines can be found separately for each data processing operation in the respective section.
