In the following, we will inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the processing of personal data by our company in accordance with the legal requirements of data protection law (in particular according to BDSG n.F. and the European data protection basic regulation 'DS-GVO'). This data protection declaration also applies to our websites and social media profiles. Regarding the definition of terms such as "personal data" or "processing", we refer to Art. 4 DS-GVO.

Name and contact details of the person responsible

Our responsible person (hereinafter "responsible person") within the meaning of Art. 7 GDPR is:

Eray Gülay Schützenstraße 9, 40211, Düsseldorf, Germany

Managing Director: Eray Gülay

E-Mail adress: ray.guelay@gmail.com

Types of data, purposes of processing and
Categories of data subjects

Below we inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection, processing and use of personal data.

1. Types of data we process

2. Purposes of processing according to Art. 13 Para. 1 c) DS-GVO

3. Categories of data subjects according to Art. 13 Para. 1 e) GDPR

The persons concerned are collectively referred to as "users".

Legal bases for the processing of personal data

In the following we inform you about the legal basis for the processing of personal data:

1. If we have obtained your consent to the processing of personal data, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a) GDPR is the legal basis.
2. If the processing is necessary to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures that follow your request, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR is the legal basis.
3. If the processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g. statutory storage obligations), Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR is the legal basis.
4. If processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 lit. d) GDPR legal basis.
5. If the processing is necessary to protect our interests or those of a third party and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh them, Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR legal basis.

Disclosure of personal data to third parties and processors

In principle, we do not pass on any data to third parties without your consent. If this is the case, then the data will be passed on on the basis of the aforementioned legal bases, e.g. when data is passed on to online payment providers to fulfill a contract or due to a court order or due to a legal obligation to release the data for the purpose of criminal prosecution or to avert danger or to enforce intellectual property rights. We also use contract processors (external service providers, e.g. for web hosting of our websites and databases) to process your data. If data is passed on to the processors as part of an agreement on order processing, this is always done in accordance with Art. 28DS-GVO. We carefully select our processors, check them regularly and have been granted the right to issue instructions regarding the data. In addition, the processors must have taken appropriate technical and organizational measures and comply with the data protection regulations in accordance with the BDSG new version and the GDPR.

Data transfer to third countries

The adoption of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) created a uniform basis for data protection in Europe. Your data is therefore mainly processed by companies for which the GDPR applies. Should the processing take place by third-party services outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, they must meet the special requirements of Art. 44 ff.DS-GVO. This means that the processing takes place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the determination of a data protection level that is officially recognized by the EU Commission or the compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations, the so-called “standard contractual clauses”. Insofar as we obtain your express consent to the transfer of data to the USA due to the ineffectiveness of the so-called "Privacy Shield" pursuant to Article 49 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a) GDPR, we point out the risk of secret access in this regard US authorities and the use of the data for surveillance purposes, possibly without legal remedies for EU citizens.

Deletion of data and storage period

Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as you revoke your consent to processing or the purpose for storage no longer applies or the data is no longer required for the purpose, unless further storage is required required for evidentiary purposes or which conflict with statutory retention requirements. This includes, for example, commercial law retention requirements for business letters in accordance with Section 257 (1) HGB (6 years) and tax retention requirements for receipts in accordance with Section 147 (1) AO (10 years). If the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted, unless storage is still required for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

Existence of automated decision-making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
