When you use this website, various personal data is collected. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Kai Gehann

Phone: +491773288020
Email: kai@1zu1deutsch.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage period is specified within this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these grounds cease to apply.

Note on Data Transfer to the USA

Our website includes tools from companies based in the United States. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to US servers of the respective companies. Please note that the USA is not considered a secure third country under EU data protection law. US companies may be required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Legal Basis for Processing

If you have given your consent to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or, where special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are processed, on the basis of Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), processing is additionally based on section 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time. If your data is required for contract performance or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. If processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, it is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Recipients of Personal Data

Within the scope of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, the transfer of personal data to these external parties is required. We only transfer personal data if it is necessary for contract performance, we are legally obliged to do so, we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, or another legal basis permits the transfer. When using processors, we transfer personal data only on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Consent

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke consent at any time with effect for the future. The legality of processing carried out before revocation remains unaffected.

Right to Object in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you may object for reasons relating to your particular situation.

If your data is processed for direct marketing, you can object at any time.
