Privacy Policy

Basic Information:

This privacy policy is intended to inform users of this website about the nature, scope, and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operators Leiza Orcoyen-Schmidt and Rolf Schmidt.

The website operator takes your privacy very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal regulations.

As new technologies and the constant development of this website may result in changes to this privacy policy, we recommend that you read the privacy policy at regular intervals. Definitions of the terms used (e.g., "personal data" or "processing") can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.

Access Data: We, the website operator or page provider, collect data based on our legitimate interest (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) on accesses to the website and store these as "server log files" on the server of the website.

The following data is logged: Visited website Time at the time of access Amount of data sent in bytes Source/reference from which you came to the page: u Used browser Operating system used IP address used The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g., to clarify cases of misuse.

If data must be retained for evidentiary purposes, it is excluded from deletion until the incident is finally clarified. Range Measurement & Cookies:

This website uses cookies for pseudonymized range measurement, which are either transmitted from our server or the third-party server to the user's browser. Cookies are small files that are stored on your end device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website.

If you do not want cookies for range measurement to be stored on your end device, you can object to the use of these files here: Cookie Deactivation Page of the Network Advertising Initiative Cookie Deactivation Page of the US-American Website Cookie Deactivation Page of the European Website Common browsers offer the setting option not to allow cookies.

Collection and Processing of Personal Data: The website operator collects, uses, and discloses your personal data only if permitted by law or if you consent to the data collection. Personal data includes all information that is used to identify your person and that can be traced back to you – for example, your name, email address, and telephone number.

You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. However, to improve our online offering, we store (without personal reference) your access data to this website. This access data includes, for example, the file you requested or the name of your internet provider.

Due to the anonymization of the data, conclusions about your person are not possible.

We process personal data such as first name, last name, IP address, email address, place of residence, postal code, and content from the contact form. We process personal data only with the express permission of the users concerned and in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations.

The processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest in fulfilling our contractually agreed services and optimizing our online offering.

Handling of Contact Information: If you contact us as a website operator through the offered contact options, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and answer your request. Without your consent, this data will not be disclosed to third parties.

Handling of Comments and Contributions: If you leave a post or comment on this website, your IP address will be saved. This is done on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and serves the security of the website operator: If your comment violates applicable law, we may be held responsible for it, which is why we have an interest in the identity of the comment or post author.

Google Analytics: This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).

Google Analytics uses "cookies" – text files that are stored on your end device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google LLC complies with European data protection law and is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement: Privacy Shield Certification This website uses IP anonymization. The IP address of users is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area and in the other contracting states of the agreement. Only in individual cases is the IP address initially transmitted unshortened to a Google server in the USA and then shortened there. This shortening eliminates the personal reference of your IP address. The user's IP address transmitted by the browser is not combined with other data stored by Google. As part of the agreement on order data processing, which we as website operators have concluded with Google Inc., Google uses the information collected to evaluate the use of our online offer by individual users, e.g., to create reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website use and internet use.
