Table of Contents

This policy applies to alexdippel.de. We highly value your data and it is very important to us to handle the data in the best possible way. Please read this policy carefully to understand how we use the personal data we collect from you when you use our website and services. We use the clearest and most transparent language possible so that you really understand what happens with your data.

General information #

Processing of personal data and other terms #

Data protection applies to the processing of personal data. Personal data means all data with which you can be personally identified. This is, for example, the IP address of the device you are currently using to view this website. Such data is processed when “something happens to it”. Here, for example, the IP is transmitted from the browser to our hosting service provider and stored there automatically. This is then a processing (according to Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR) of personal data (according to Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR).

These and other legal definitions can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.

Applicable regulations/laws #

The scope of data protection is determined by laws. In this case, there are the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) as a European regulation and the BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) as a national law.

The responsible #

The controller within the meaning of the GDPR is responsible for data processing on this website. This is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

You can reach the responsible person under Alexander Dippel, Knüllweg 8, 34298 Helsa, Germany. You can also e-mail hello@alexdippel.de.

Disclosure and deletion #

We would like to point out quickly our general approach to the transfer and deletion of data.

A transfer of data only takes place on legal basis and only if this is unavoidable. This may be the case in particular if it is a so-called Data Processor and a Data Processing Agreement has been concluded in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

We delete your data when the purpose and the legal basis for processing cease to exist and the deletion is not contrary to any other legal obligation. A “good” overview of this is also provided by Art. 17 GDPR.

For further information, please refer to this Privacy Policy and contact the responsible person if you have any specific question.

The legal basis for data processing can be found in Art. 6 GDPR. This regulation lists the following possibilities in Art. 6 (1) Sentence 1:

  • The data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes (a);
  • processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract (b);
  • processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject (c);
  • processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person (d);
  • processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller (e);
  • processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child (f).

In the following sections, we will provide you with the specific legal basis for the respective processing.
