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

How do we collect your data?

Your data is collected in one way by you providing it to us. This may, for example, be data you enter into a contact form.

Other data is collected automatically or with your consent when you visit the website by our IT systems. This is primarily technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time the page was accessed). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected to ensure that the website is provided without errors. Other data can be used to analyse your user behaviour. Where contracts can be concluded or initiated via the website, the transmitted data is also processed for contract offers, orders or other order enquiries.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

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

You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the topic of data protection.

Analysis tools and tools from third-party providers

When you visit this website, your surfing behaviour may be statistically analysed. This is primarily done using so-called analysis programs.

3. General information and mandatory information

Data protection

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

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

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

Note on the responsible party

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Tilman Regelin
Im Moerser Feld 1f
47441 Moers

Email: hello@tilmanregelin.com

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.).

Storage duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been mentioned within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9(1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data, if it is required to fulfil a legal obligation, on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legal basis applicable in each individual case is explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

As part of our business activities we work with various external bodies. In some cases, it is also necessary to transmit personal data to these external bodies. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only pass on the personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing that took place until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place insofar as it is technically feasible.

Information, correction and deletion

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the topic of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

SSL or TLS encryption

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

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our internet pages use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you requested (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies), are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

If further cookies and services are used on this website, you can find this in this privacy policy.

Enquiries by email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Consent management and analytics

Cookie consent management with Cookiebot

We use Cookiebot CMP to obtain, manage and document your consent to cookies and similar technologies. Cookiebot is provided by Usercentrics A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark.

When you visit our website, Cookiebot stores information necessary to remember your consent selection. This may include:

your consent or refusal;
the date and time of your selection;
your anonymised IP address;
browser and device information;
the website domain; and
a randomly generated consent identifier.

This processing allows us to display the appropriate consent settings, prevent non-essential technologies from being used without permission, remember your selection and demonstrate that consent was obtained where legally required.

The processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, insofar as it is necessary to meet our legal obligations, and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in operating a legally compliant consent-management system. Any storage or access that is strictly necessary for the consent-management service is based on Section 25(2) TDDDG.

Cookiebot retains consent records for 12 months. The cookies stored on your device and their respective lifetimes are listed in our cookie declaration.

Further information is available in the Cookiebot privacy policy.

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Tag Manager allows us to centrally administer technologies used on this website and activate them according to the consent choices made through our consent-management system. Google Tag Manager does not itself perform the analytics described below or create analytics reports. However, when the Tag Manager container is loaded, your browser may establish a connection to Google systems and transmit technical information such as your IP address, browser information and the requested URL.

We use Google Tag Manager in our legitimate interest in securely and efficiently managing our website technologies and ensuring that consent-dependent services are activated only as configured, pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where the use of Tag Manager involves non-essential access to or storage on your device, that use will occur only with your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG.

Google may process information through affiliated companies or service providers located outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where required, such transfers are protected by an applicable adequacy decision, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or another legally recognised transfer mechanism.

Further information is available in Google's privacy policy.

Google Analytics 4

With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors find and use our website and enables us to improve its content, performance and usability. For this purpose, Google Analytics may process information including:

pages viewed and events performed;
approximate location derived from the IP address;
date and time of access;
referrer and campaign information;
browser, device and operating-system information;
screen resolution and language settings;
cookie and device identifiers; and
interaction data such as clicks, downloads and form interactions.

We have configured Google Analytics to operate according to the consent selection communicated by Cookiebot. Full analytics storage and the associated cookies are enabled only if you consent to the “Statistics” category. If you do not consent, Google Analytics is not loaded.

The legal basis for storing or accessing non-essential information on your device is your consent pursuant to Section 25(1) TDDDG. The legal basis for the associated processing of personal data is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Data associated with cookies, user identifiers or advertising identifiers is retained in our Google Analytics property for 14 months. Certain aggregated reports may be retained for longer because they no longer allow us to identify individual visitors.

Recipients of the data may include Google Ireland Limited, Google LLC and their affiliated companies and service providers. Processing may occur outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where required, transfers are protected by an applicable adequacy decision, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or another legally recognised transfer mechanism.

Further information is available in:

Google's privacy policy;
Google's information about data used by partner sites; and
Google Analytics data-protection information.

Microsoft Clarity

With your consent, we use Microsoft Clarity, a behavioural analytics service provided by Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland.

Clarity helps us understand how visitors interact with our website through aggregated statistics, heatmaps and session recordings. This enables us to identify usability problems and improve the design, content and operation of the website.

Clarity may process information including:

pages visited and time spent on them;
mouse movements, clicks, scrolling and navigation;
technical device, browser and operating-system information;
approximate location;
the referring page;
cookie and session identifiers; and
website interaction and diagnostic information.

We configure Clarity to mask or suppress content intended to contain personal information. Nevertheless, session recordings may capture interactions with the structure and controls of the website.

Cookiebot automatically communicates separate consent signals to Clarity. Consent to the “Statistics” category permits analytics-related storage, including the _clck and _clsk cookies. Consent to the “Marketing” category permits advertising-related storage, where applicable. Declining Marketing does not by itself prevent analytics processing if Statistics has been accepted.

Clarity is not loaded and does not collect analytics data unless you consent to the “Statistics” category.

Clarity data is retained for 9 months (heatmaps) or 30 days (session playbacks).

Microsoft and its affiliated companies or service providers may process data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where required, transfers are protected by an applicable adequacy decision, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or another legally recognised transfer mechanism.

Further information is available in:

the Microsoft Privacy Statement;
Microsoft's information about Clarity data collection; and
Microsoft's information about Clarity cookies.

Withdrawing or changing your consent

You may withdraw or change your consent at any time with effect for the future by clicking on the round “link” icon in the bottom left of this website.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing performed before withdrawal. After withdrawal, the affected technologies will no longer be permitted to use consent-dependent storage or processing. Existing cookies will be removed where supported by the relevant service; you may also delete them through your browser settings.

A current list of the cookies and similar technologies used on this website, including their providers, purposes and lifetimes, is available in our cookie declaration.

6. Plugins and tools

YouTube with extended data protection

This website embeds videos from the YouTube website. The operator of the website is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When you visit one of our websites on which YouTube is embedded, a connection is established to YouTube's servers. YouTube's server is thereby informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. Videos played in extended data protection mode are, according to YouTube, not used to personalise browsing on YouTube. Advertisements played in extended data protection mode are also not personalised. In extended data protection mode, no cookies are set. Instead, however, so-called local storage elements are stored in the user's browser, which, similar to cookies, contain personal data and can be used for recognition. Details on extended data protection mode can be found here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.

Where applicable, further data processing operations may be triggered after activating a YouTube video, over which we have no influence.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

The company is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards. Further information can be obtained from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780.
