We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The responsible party for the data processing on this website is:

Anja Kasiborski

10179 Berlin

Email: help@anja-kasiborski.de

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw any consent already given at any time. A simple email to us is sufficient for this. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

If you request the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change of the address line in the browser from “http://” to “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser line.

3. Data Collection on Our Website

Cookies

The internet pages use cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain 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 be informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process or to provide certain features you have requested (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of their services. If other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.

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
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address
• This data will not be merged with other data sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the request and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered into the contact form is thus carried out solely based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. A simple email to us is sufficient for this. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for the data storage no longer applies (e.g., after the processing of your request is completed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

4. Analysis Tools and Advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies." These are text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your website usage. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its web offer and its advertising.

IP Anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization feature on this website. As a result, your IP address will be shortened by Google within the European Union member states or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. In exceptional cases, the full IP address may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide other services related to website usage and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software; however, we would like to point out that you may not be able to use all the features of this website in this case. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Objection to Data Collection

You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents the collection of your data during future visits to this website: Disable Google Analytics.

Further information on the handling of user data by Google Analytics can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Order Data Processing

We have entered into an order data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic Features in Google Analytics

This website uses the "demographic features" function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that contain information about the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. This data is derived from interest-based advertising by Google and visitor data from third parties. This data cannot be attributed to a specific person. You can disable this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the "Objection to Data Collection" section.

Google Analytics Remarketing

Our websites use the features of Google Analytics Remarketing in combination with the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

This feature allows us to link the advertising audiences created with Google Analytics Remarketing to the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This way, interest-based, personalized advertisements that have been tailored to you based on your previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., mobile) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC).

If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history with your Google account for this purpose. This way, personalized ads can be displayed on all devices where you are logged in with your Google account.

To support this function, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked with our Google Analytics data to define and create target audiences for cross-device advertising.

You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by disabling personalized ads in your Google account; follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The compilation of the data collected in your Google account is based solely on your consent, which you can give or withdraw at Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). For data collection processes that are not merged into your Google account (e.g., because you do not have a Google account or have objected to merging), the data collection is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the website operator's interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.

For further information and privacy policies, please refer to Google’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).

As part of Google AdWords, we use the so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is set. Cookies are small text files that the internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and do not serve to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to this page.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. These cookies cannot be tracked across AdWords customers' websites. The information obtained through the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that allows the personal identification of users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can opt out of this usage by disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie through your internet browser's user settings. You will not then be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of "conversion cookies" is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both the web offering and advertising.

For more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

You can set your browser to notify you when cookies are set, and allow cookies only in specific cases, exclude cookies in certain cases or in general, or activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our websites. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

With reCAPTCHA, we aim to verify whether data entry on our websites (e.g., in a contact form) is done by a human or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the site. To analyze, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, the duration of the website visit, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analysis runs completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.

The data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting their web offerings from abusive automated data collection and SPAM.

Further information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google's privacy policy can be found at the following links: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.
