3. General Information and Mandatory Disclosures

Data Protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations as well as this Privacy Policy.

When you use this website, various types of personal data are collected. Personal data refers to any information that can be used to identify you personally. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and for what purpose.

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

Information on the Responsible Party

The party responsible for data processing on this website is:

Robert Leicht
Bismarckstr. 39
71093 Weil im Schönbuch

Phone: 0162 / 7897566
E-mail: DrGumoLunatic@googlemail.com

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Data Retention

Unless a more specific retention period is stated within this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing no longer applies. If you submit a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for retaining it (e.g., tax or commercial retention obligations). In such cases, deletion will take place once those obligations no longer apply.

Information on Data Transfers to the United States and Other Third Countries

Among other services, we use tools provided by companies based in the United States or other countries that may not offer a level of data protection equivalent to that of the European Union. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries.

Please note that data protection standards in such countries may not be comparable to those within the EU. For example, U.S. companies may be required to provide personal data to government authorities without allowing affected individuals to seek legal remedies. As a result, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. authorities, including intelligence agencies, may process, analyze, and permanently store data located on U.S. servers. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of Your Consent

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw any consent you have previously granted at any time. The legality of any data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Data Processing and Direct Marketing (Article 21 GDPR)

WHERE DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ARTICLE 6(1)(E) OR ARTICLE 6(1)(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.

IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO SUCH PROCESSING. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO DIRECT MARKETING. ONCE YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, workplace, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format. Where technically feasible, you may also request that this data be transferred directly to another controller.

SSL / TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information, such as orders or inquiries submitted to us, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption.

You can recognize an encrypted connection when the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and displays a padlock symbol.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data transmitted to us cannot be read by third parties.

Access, Deletion, and Correction

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of processing. You may also have the right to request correction or deletion of this data.

If you have any questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter.

The right to restriction of processing applies in the following situations:

  • If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
  • If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may request restriction of 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 may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
  • If you have objected to processing under Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests must be carried out. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.

Where processing has been restricted, your personal data may only be processed, apart from storage, with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Objection to Promotional Emails

The use of contact details published in accordance with legal notice requirements for sending unsolicited advertising or informational materials is hereby prohibited. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising, including spam emails.

Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. On behalf of the website operator, Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide additional services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data.

Browser Plugin

7. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy Mode

This website embeds videos from YouTube. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode prevents YouTube from storing information about visitors to this website before they watch a video. However, the enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily prevent the transfer of data to YouTube partners. Regardless of whether you watch a video, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. In doing so, the YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

In addition, YouTube may store various cookies on your device after a video has been started or use comparable recognition technologies such as device fingerprinting. In this way, YouTube may obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to compile video statistics, improve user experience, and prevent fraud.

Further data processing operations may be triggered after a YouTube video is started, over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is based on our legitimate interest in presenting our online content in an appealing manner pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
