Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Website hosting is provided by an external service provider, netcup GmbH, Emmy-Noether-Straße 10, 76131 Karlsruhe, Germany. A Data Processing Agreement pursuant to Art. 28 DSGVO has been concluded with netcup. Hosting is necessary for the operation of the website and for the performance of the existing service contract, and is carried out without requiring your consent.

Some processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw any consent already given at any time. A simple notification by e-mail is sufficient. The lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal 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 infringement pursuant to Art. 77 DSGVO. The competent supervisory authority for data protection matters is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information for the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia (Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen). This link provides a list of German data protection commissioners and their contact details.

Right to Data Portability

Pursuant to Art. 20 DSGVO, you have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a machine-readable format. Where you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Right of Access, Rectification, Restriction, and Erasure

Pursuant to Arts. 15–18 and 21 DSGVO, you have the right at any time, within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, to obtain free information about your stored personal data, the origin of the data, its recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, where applicable, the right to rectification, restriction, or erasure of such data. For this and any further questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time using the contact details provided in the legal notice.

SSL and TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. As a result, data you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can identify an encrypted connection by the “https://” prefix in your browser’s address bar and the padlock icon in the browser toolbar.

Server Log Files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits to us automatically. This includes:

• Page visited on our domain
• Date and time of the server request
• Browser type and version
• Operating system in use
• Referring URL
• Hostname of the accessing device
• IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the technically sound provision and security of the website.

Contact Forms

Data submitted via contact form, including your contact details, is stored in order to process your enquiry and for any follow-up questions. The legal basis for processing general contact enquiries is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO. Where your enquiry relates to the purchase of books or special editions, processing is carried out for the purposes of pre-contractual measures pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) DSGVO; for this purpose, such enquiries are forwarded to the publisher LINK & LEAD Edition: LINK & LEAD Edition, proprietor Carsten Schleeberger, Rohrbuschweg 85, 41751 Viersen, Germany, edition [at] link-lead.de

No further disclosure of data takes place without your consent. Data submitted via contact form will be retained until you request its deletion or there is no longer any necessity for its storage. Mandatory statutory provisions under German law — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.

Cookies

We use the consent management tool Complianz to manage the cookies and similar technologies we deploy, and the related consents.

The legal bases for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6(1)(c) DSGVO and Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies we use and the related consents.

The provision of personal data is not required by contract and is not a prerequisite for entering into a contract. You are not obliged to provide personal data. If you do not provide your personal data, we will be unable to manage your consents.

Newsletter Distribution

When you subscribe to our newsletter, we store and process your personal data (e.g. name, e-mail address, IP address, date and time of registration). The purpose is the regular distribution of information by e-mail. The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) DSGVO.

For the management of registration forms as well as the dispatch and administration of the newsletter, we use the service Kajabi, provided by Kajabi, LLC, 17100 Laguna Canyon Road, #100, Irvine, CA 92603, USA (hereinafter “Kajabi”). Kajabi processes data on our behalf. A Data Processing Agreement pursuant to Art. 28 DSGVO has been concluded with Kajabi. Further information is available in Kajabi’s Privacy Policy at https://kajabi.com/policies/privacy and in the Data Processing Addendum at https://kajabi.com/policies/dpa.

Kajabi enables us to evaluate whether newsletter messages have been opened and which links have been clicked (tracking). We use this data solely to optimise the content of our newsletters. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) DSGVO; you may withdraw your consent to this evaluation at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

Note on data transfers to the United States: Kajabi is a provider based in the USA. The transfer of your personal data to the USA is carried out on the basis of Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission pursuant to Art. 46(2)(c) DSGVO, which form part of the Data Processing Agreement with Kajabi. An adequate level of data protection is thereby contractually ensured.

Double Opt-In Procedure

Following registration, you will receive an e-mail in which you must confirm your subscription. The subscription only becomes active upon confirmation. This procedure is designed to prevent the unauthorised use of your e-mail address.

Withdrawal and Unsubscription

You may withdraw your consent at any time. Every newsletter contains an unsubscribe link. Alternatively, a simple notification by e-mail is sufficient. The lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal remains unaffected.

Retention Period

Your data will be stored until you cancel your newsletter subscription or withdraw your consent.
