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

Notice on the Responsible Entity

The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:

Studio Dufte

12459 Berlin

Phone: +49 159 01956051

The responsible entity 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 duration is mentioned in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases. If you assert a legitimate deletion request or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on this Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed according to Article 9 (1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent for the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing also occurs based on Article 49 (1) (a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on Section 25 (1) TTDSG.

Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation based on Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR. Data processing may also occur based on our legitimate interests according to Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The relevant legal bases applicable in each individual case are outlined in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Notice on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries

We use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that do not provide a secure level of data protection. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that no equivalent level of data protection comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to release personal data to security authorities without you, as the affected party, being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be excluded 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.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any consent you have already granted at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases as well as Against Direct Advertising (Article 21 GDPR)

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

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

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected individuals 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 location of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to request that we provide you with data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Access, Correction, and Deletion

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, their origin, recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and if applicable, the right to have this data corrected or deleted. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions concerning personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

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

– If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.
– If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
– If we no longer require your personal data but you need it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data instead of deletion.
– If you have lodged an objection under Article 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between yours and ours must take place. As long as it has not been established whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of substantial 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 inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Advertising Emails

The use of contact data published as part of the imprint obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby contradicted. The operators of the sites expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that your browser transmits to us. This includes:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in ensuring the technical functionality and optimization of the website, which requires the collection of server log files.

Requests via Email, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us via email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including any personal data (name, inquiry) resulting from it, will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively addressing inquiries directed to us (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR) if such consent has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases (e.g., after your request has been completed). Mandatory legal provisions, particularly legal retention periods, remain unaffected.

Google Fonts

This site uses so-called Google Fonts, provided by Google, for the uniform presentation of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required fonts into its browser cache to correctly display texts and fonts.

To do this, the browser you use must connect to Google’s servers. This enables Google to learn that your IP address has accessed this website. The use of Google Fonts is based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the uniform presentation of the typeface on its website. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively based on Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, provided the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) as defined by the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

If your browser does not support Google Fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.
