This website uses cookies. Cookies do not harm your device and do not contain viruses. They help make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser.
Most cookies used are session cookies, which are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
You can configure your browser to inform you about cookie settings, allow cookies only in individual cases, or generally exclude cookies. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies necessary for electronic communication or certain website functions are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, reflecting our legitimate interest in providing a technically optimized website.
4. Server Log Files
The provider of these websites automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes:
-
Browser type and browser version,
-
Operating system used,
-
Referrer URL,
-
Hostname of the accessing device,
-
Time of the server request,
-
IP address.
This data is not merged with other data sources.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest arises from:
-
ensuring the proper functioning of the website,
-
optimizing the website,
-
ensuring the security of our information technology systems.
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 data collected to provide the website, this is the case when the respective session ends. In the case of stored data, deletion takes place after no later than seven days.
5. Contacting Us
Our website provides various contact forms that can be used to get in touch with us. When you submit a message, the data entered in the input fields is transmitted to us and stored for the purpose of responding to your inquiry.
To contact us via our contact forms, it is necessary to provide your name, your email address, the information requested in the mandatory fields, and any other personal data you voluntarily provide as part of your message. Providing personal data is voluntary. We process your personal data exclusively for the purpose of handling and responding to your inquiry. Data will only be passed on to third parties if you explicitly request this or if it is an inherent part of handling your inquiry.
Once you have submitted a contact request, you will receive an automatic email to the email address provided in the contact form. This email contains a confirmation link to verify that you are the owner of the email address and that you have intentionally and knowingly contacted us. By submitting the message via the contact form and by clicking the confirmation link, you consent to the processing of your data for the purposes stated above. This procedure serves to prevent misuse of your email address.
The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6(1)(a), (b), and (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in processing your inquiry.
At the time the message is sent, the following data is also stored:
-
the user’s IP address,
-
date and time of submission.
The additional personal data processed during the submission process is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
The legal basis for this storage is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in preventing misuse and ensuring the security of our information technology systems.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected or otherwise processed. For data entered into the contact form or sent by email, this is the case when the respective communication with you has ended, the matter has been conclusively clarified, or it can be inferred that you no longer wish to receive a response.
The additional personal data collected during the submission process will be deleted no later than seven days after submission.
You may revoke your consent to the processing of data provided via the contact form at any time with effect for the future.
6. Registration and Login
On our website, we offer you the possibility to register by providing personal data and subsequently log in. The data entered is transmitted to us via an input form and stored. The data is not passed on to third parties. The following data is collected as part of the registration process:
-
email address,
-
password,
-
any additional information voluntarily provided by you.
At the time of registration, the following data is also stored:
-
your IP address,
-
date and time of registration.
After submitting the registration, a confirmation link is sent to the email address you provided. Your registration request only becomes valid once you click on this link, as by submitting the registration request and clicking the confirmation link you consent to the processing of your data for the purposes stated above. Through this so-called “double opt-in” procedure, we ensure that no third parties can register on our website using your email address.
Rechtsgrundlage für die Verarbeitung der Daten ist Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a und b DS-GVO.
The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6(1)(a) and (b) GDPR.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
This is the case if you or we cancel your registration, provided that no statutory retention or other storage obligations prevent deletion.
If you log in via your account, you may use the data stored with us to access your account and, for example, comment on videos (see section 7).
We process the personal data voluntarily provided by you exclusively for the purpose of enabling log-in and managing your user account.
You may revoke your consent to the processing of data provided during registration at any time with effect for the future.
7. Comment Function
We offer you the opportunity to comment on videos on our website. A prerequisite for this is successful registration (see section 6).
Before you can publish a comment, you must first consent to your comment being published on our website in connection with your registered username as well as the date and time of the comment. We reserve the right to review and delete any comment, in particular if a comment contains or refers to racist, offensive, sexist, discriminatory, or otherwise unlawful content.
At the time a comment is published, we collect the data listed under Server Log Files (see section 4), in particular in order to prevent misuse of our comment function and, if necessary, for the purpose of criminal prosecution. The collection of this data is therefore based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. In addition, data is collected on the basis of your consent obtained prior to the publication of the comment pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
8. Newsletter
You may subscribe to our newsletter via the registration form provided on our website. When registering for the newsletter, the data entered in the input form is transmitted to us. We collect the following data:
-
your email address,
-
your first and last name (for the purpose of personal addressing).
In addition, the following data is collected at the time of registration:
-
IP address of the accessing device,
-
date and time of registration.
After submitting the newsletter registration form, you will receive a confirmation link sent to the email address you provided. Your registration becomes valid only after clicking this link. By submitting the newsletter registration form and by clicking the confirmation link, you consent to the processing of your data for the purposes stated above. This so-called “double opt-in” procedure ensures that no third party can subscribe to the newsletter using your email address.
The distribution of newsletters is carried out via our hosting service provider, Wix.com Inc., 0 Namal Tel Aviv St., Tel Aviv, Israel, and 500 Terry A. Francois Boulevard, 6th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94158, USA. No further transfer of data takes place.
We point out that there is currently no adequacy decision by the European Union for the transfer of personal data to the United States. The transfer of personal data to the United States may therefore be associated with significant and unknown risks for you.
The legal basis for the processing of data after newsletter registration is Art. 6(1)(a) and (b) GDPR and Art. 49(1)(a) and (b) GDPR. The collection of additional personal data during the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address used. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Accordingly, the user’s email address is stored for as long as the newsletter subscription is active. Other personal data collected during the registration process is generally deleted after a period of seven days.
The newsletter subscription may be cancelled at any time by the data subject, and consent may be revoked with effect for the future. For this purpose, a corresponding unsubscribe link is included in each newsletter. The subscription may also be cancelled by email. This also constitutes a revocation of consent to the storage of the personal data collected during the registration process.
Revoking consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent prior to its revocation.
9. YouTube
Videos from YouTube are embedded on these websites. YouTube is an internet video portal for uploading, playing, and rating video clips of all kinds. The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
All videos are embedded using YouTube’s so-called “enhanced privacy mode.” According to YouTube, this means that no data is transmitted to YouTube or Google until you actively click on or play a video. By clicking the play button, you therefore give your consent for YouTube to place cookies on the device you are using and for data transmission to begin. This data transmission may also be used to analyze user behavior for market research and marketing purposes.
This data processing takes place regardless of whether you are logged into YouTube or not. YouTube stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses this data in particular for advertising, market research, and/or demand-oriented design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles and analyses; to exercise this right, you must contact YouTube directly.
Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by YouTube and Google can be found in their respective privacy policies. These also contain further information on related rights and settings options for protecting your privacy:
https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/?hl=de
The legal basis for the transfer of data to YouTube is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1), sentence 1, lit. a) and Art. 49(1), lit. a) GDPR. You may give your consent when accessing the website via the cookie consent banner or, at the latest, by clicking on or playing YouTube videos, thereby consenting to the transfer of data to YouTube.
You may revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. Please notify us of your revocation by email and independently delete all cookies stored by YouTube on your device.
We point out that there is currently no adequacy decision by the European Union for the transfer of personal data to the United States. The transfer of personal data to the United States is therefore associated with significant and unknown risks for you. We have no influence on YouTube’s data processing activities.
12. Google Web Fonts
This website uses fonts provided by Google, known as “Web Fonts.” The integration is carried out purely statically and locally via our hosting server. No connection to Google servers takes place in this process.
13. Google Maps
This website uses the map service Google Maps provided by Google.
Our website is configured so that the map service is initially inactive. Google Maps is only activated if you deliberately activate it by clicking on it.
If you activate and use the functions of Google Maps, your IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there, among other things. As the operator of this website, we have no influence on this data transfer or on any further data processing that may take place.
The terms of use for Google Maps can be found at:
https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html
You have the option to deactivate the Google Maps service and thus prevent the transfer of data to Google by disabling JavaScript in your browser. Please note, however, that in this case you will not be able to use the map display.
The legal basis for the integration of Google Maps is Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 49(1)(a) and (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in integrating a map service to optimize and better illustrate our website. Furthermore, by clicking on the embedded Google Maps content, you consent to the processing of your data by Google.
Google processes your data, in particular, also in the USA. We point out that, under current European law, there is no adequate level of data protection for personal data in the USA. There is currently no adequacy decision for data transfers to the USA. Data transfers to the USA are therefore associated with unknown risks. You may revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
14. Shop
For the sale of our merchandise items, we use the services of sprd.net AG, Gießerstraße 27, 04229 Leipzig, Germany (hereinafter referred to as “Spreadshirt”).
Spreadshirt merely integrates the functionalities of an online shop into our website. All data processing on the shop pages is carried out exclusively by Spreadshirt as the responsible data controller. The integration of the shop is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
We have a legitimate interest in the clear presentation of an online shop, its technical integration, and the processing of purchase contracts via a commercial provider.
