PRIVACY POLICY

This privacy policy informs you about the nature, scope, and purpose of the processing of personal data (hereinafter referred to as "data") within our online services and the associated websites, functions, and content, as well as external online presences, such as our social media profiles (hereinafter collectively referred to as "online services"). Regarding the terminology used, such as "personal data" or its "processing," we refer to the definitions in Article 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The responsible body for data processing on this website is:

Torsten Hansow | Becks Barkassen Service (BBS) eGbR Vorsetzen 41 20459 Hamburg

Telephone: 49 172 4248260

The responsible body decides alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, contact details, etc.).

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Some data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient for revocation. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

As a data subject, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of a data protection breach. The competent supervisory authority for data protection matters is the State Data Protection Commissioner of the federal state in which our company is based. The following link provides a list of data protection commissioners and their contact details: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either for yourself or to have it transferred to a third party. The data will be provided in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if technically feasible.

Right to information, rectification, blocking, erasure

You have the right, at any time and within the framework of applicable legal provisions, to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin, the recipients of the data, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, a right to rectification, blocking, or erasure of this data. For this purpose, and for any further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time using the contact details provided in the legal notice.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information that you send to us as the website operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" in your browser's address bar and the padlock icon in the browser bar.

Contact form

Data submitted via the contact form, including your contact details, will be stored in order to process your request and to be available for follow-up questions. This data will not be shared without your consent.

The processing of data entered into the contact form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may withdraw your consent at any time. To withdraw your consent, simply send an informal notification by email. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Data submitted via the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Google CDN - Type and scope of processing

We use Google CDN to properly deliver the content of our website. Google CDN is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, which functions as a Content Delivery Network (CDN) on our website.

A CDN helps to deliver content from our website, especially files such as graphics or scripts, more quickly using regionally or internationally distributed servers. When you access this content, you establish a connection to servers of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, and your IP address and, if applicable, browser data such as your user agent are transmitted. This data is processed exclusively for the purposes mentioned above and to maintain the security and functionality of the Google CDN.

Purpose and legal basis

The use of the Content Delivery Network is based on our legitimate interests, i.e., our interest in the secure and efficient provision and optimization of our online services in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR.

We intend to transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area, in particular the USA. In cases where no adequacy decision by the European Commission exists (e.g., in the USA), we have agreed on other suitable safeguards with the recipients of the data in accordance with Articles 44 et seq. of the GDPR. These are – unless otherwise stated – standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission pursuant to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021. A copy of these standard contractual clauses can be viewed at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32021D0914&from=DE.

Storage duration

We have no control over the specific storage period of the processed data; this is determined by Google Ireland Limited. Further information can be found in the Google CDN privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

We use the Google Maps service to generate directions. Google Maps is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, which displays a map on our website.

Furthermore, before any such transfer to a third country, we obtain your consent in accordance with Article 49(1)(a) GDPR, which you grant via the consent form in the Consent Manager (or other forms, registrations, etc.). We would like to point out that transfers to third countries may involve risks that are not fully understood in detail (e.g., data processing by security authorities of the third country, the exact scope and consequences of which for you are unknown to us, over which we have no influence, and of which you may not be aware).
