1. Information on the collection of personal data
1.1. Thank you for visiting our website. In the following, we would like to inform you about how we handle your personal data when you use our website. Personal data is basically all data with which you can be personally identified.
1.2. The controller responsible for the processing of data on our website within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is
Dr. Frederik Franke

1.3. In order to protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL or TSL) via HTTPS.
2. Data collection when visiting our website
Each time you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information that your browser transmits to our server (so-called "server log files"). The following data, which is technically necessary for us, is collected:
- Our visited website
- Date and time at the time of access
- Amount of data sent in bytes
- Source/reference from which you reached the page
- Operating system used
- Browser used - IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)
The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our legitimate interest in improving the stability and maintaining the functionality of our website. The data is not passed on or used in any other way. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. We reserve the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of illegal use. The data will be 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. If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymized so that it is no longer possible to identify the accessing client. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object.
We use the Ecwid store system. This is operated by Ecwid, Inc. (Ecwid. Inc., 144 West D Street, Suite 103, Encinitas, California 92024, USA) based in the USA. Ecwid Inc. is certified for the US-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield", which guarantees compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU.
