Privacy Policy

Basics

This privacy policy is intended to inform users of this website about the nature, scope, and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator KunstKontor Baumstark Helber GbR, Taunusstrasse 39, 65183 Wiesbaden, Germany.

The website operator takes your privacy very seriously and handles your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal regulations. Since new technologies and the continuous development of this website may lead to changes in this privacy policy, we recommend that you review it periodically.

Definitions of the terms used (e.g., “personal data” or “processing”) can be found in Article 4 of the GDPR.

Access Data

We, the website operator or page provider, collect data about accesses to the website based on our legitimate interest (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) and store it as “server log files” on the website’s server. The following data is recorded:

  • Visited Website
  • Time of Access
  • Amount of Data Sent in Bytes
  • Referrer URL / Source from Which You Accessed the Site
  • Browser Used
  • Operating System Used
  • IP Address Used

The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, for example, to investigate cases of misuse. If data needs to be retained for evidentiary purposes, it is exempt from deletion until the incident has been fully resolved.

Reach Measurement & Cookies

This website uses cookies for pseudonymized reach measurement, which are transmitted to the user’s browser either from our server or from a third-party server. Cookies are small files stored on your device, which your browser accesses. The use of cookies enhances the usability and security of this website.

If you do not want cookies for reach measurement to be stored on your device, you can object to the use of these files here:

Common browsers offer the option to block cookies. Please note: If you adjust these settings, full access to all functions of this website may not be guaranteed.

Collection and Processing of Personal Data

The website operator collects, uses, and shares your personal data only if permitted by law or if you have given your consent to the data collection.

Personal data refers to any information that can be used to identify you and can be traced back to you—such as your name, email address, and phone number.

You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. However, to improve our online offerings, we do store your access data to this website (without personal reference). This access data includes, for example, the file you requested or the name of your Internet provider. Because the data is anonymized, no conclusions can be drawn about your identity.

We process personal data such as first name, last name, IP address, email address, place of residence, postal code, and the content provided in the contact form.

We process personal data only with the explicit consent of the respective users and in compliance with applicable data protection regulations.

The processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest in fulfilling our contractually agreed services and optimizing our online offerings.

Handling of Contact Information

If you contact us, the website operator, using the provided contact options, your information will be stored so that it can be used to process and respond to your inquiry.

When contacting us via our contact form, the email address and name of the contact are stored.

Without your consent, this data will not be shared with third parties.

Handling comments and posts

If you leave a post or comment on this website, your IP address will be stored. This is done on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f. GDPR and serves to ensure our security as website operators: If your comment violates applicable law, we may be prosecuted, which is why we have an interest in the identity of the author of the comment or post.

Google Analytics

This website uses the “Google Analytics” service offered by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) based on our legitimate interests in optimizing and analyzing our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f. GDPR. The service (Google Analytics) uses “cookies” – text files that are stored on your device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google LLC complies with European data protection law and is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

IP anonymization is used on this website. The IP address of users within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area and in the other signatory states to the agreement is truncated. Only in individual cases is the IP address first transmitted in full to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. This truncation removes the personal reference from your IP address. The user’s IP address transmitted by the browser is not combined with other data stored by Google.

As part of the agreement on order data processing that we as website operators have concluded with Google Inc., Google uses the information collected to evaluate website usage and activity and to provide services related to internet usage.

The data collected by Google on our behalf is used to evaluate the use of our online offering by individual users, e.g., to create reports on website activity in order to improve our online offering.

You can prevent cookies from being stored on your device by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. However, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if your browser does not allow cookies.
