Privacy Policy

In this privacy policy, we inform you about which personal data is collected and processed when you use our website, for what purpose, and what rights you have in this regard. Your data is processed in accordance with applicable data protection regulations, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), and – where applicable – the Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG).

copyright

The content published on this website (e.g., texts, images, graphics, audio, or video files) is subject to German copyright law (Section 2 of the German Copyright Act) and, unless otherwise indicated, is the intellectual property of the website operator. Any reproduction, processing, distribution, or other use requires the prior written consent of the rights holder. This applies in particular to use in other electronic or printed media.

Content on this website that was not created by the operator is used in compliance with third-party copyrights and, where necessary, is marked accordingly. Should you nevertheless discover a copyright infringement, please notify us accordingly. Upon notification of any such violations, we will remove such content immediately.

Liability for external links

Our website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence. Therefore, we cannot accept any liability for this external content. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for the content of the linked pages.

At the time of linking, the linked pages were reviewed for possible legal violations. No illegal content was identified at that time. However, permanent monitoring of the content of the linked pages is unreasonable without concrete evidence of a legal violation. Upon notification of any legal violations, we will remove such links immediately.

Collection and processing of personal data

We only collect and process personal data if permitted by law or if you give us your consent. Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual—for example, name, email address, or IP address.

When you visit our website, your browser automatically transmits certain information to our web server. This includes:

• IP address (in anonymized form),

• Date and time of access,

• pages and files accessed,

• Referrer URL (the previously visited page),

• browser and operating system used.

This data is stored and evaluated for technical reasons to ensure the stability and security of the website (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR – legitimate interest). This data is not merged with other data sources.

If you contact us by email or via a contact form, the data you provide will be processed exclusively to process your request. This processing takes place either to implement pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR) or on the basis of our legitimate interest in efficient communication (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Our website is hosted by a professional hosting provider:

OMCnet Internet Service GmbH,
Ernst-Abbe-Straße 10
25451 Quickborn

Hosting is provided on servers in Germany. A data processing agreement has been concluded with the provider in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

Personal data will only be stored for as long as necessary for the respective purpose or as long as statutory retention periods apply.

Rights of the data subject

You have the right to obtain information about the personal data we have stored about you free of charge at any time (Article 15 GDPR). This includes, in particular, information about the origin, recipients, and purpose of the data processing.

In addition, within the framework of the statutory provisions, you have the right to:

• Correction of incorrect data (Art. 16 GDPR),

• Deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”, Art. 17 GDPR),

• Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR),

• Objection to the processing of your data (Art. 21 GDPR).

Please note that certain data may not be deleted due to legal retention requirements. In these cases, the processing of your data will be restricted to the extent required by law.

For all matters relating to the assertion of your rights, please use the contact details provided in the imprint.

Use of cookies

Our website uses exclusively so-called session cookies (also known as transient cookies). These are stored temporarily and automatically deleted after your visit. They are technically necessary to provide basic website functions, such as navigation.

No persistent cookies are set that remain stored on your device beyond your visit. Cookies for advertising or analysis purposes are also not used.

The use of these technically necessary cookies is based on Art.6 Abs.1 lit.f DSGVO (legitimate interest in a functioning website). Consent is therefore not required.

Server log files

When you visit this website, the hosting provider automatically stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits. This information includes, for example, browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request, and IP address.

The data is stored to protect legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, in particular to ensure technical security, troubleshoot, and defend against attacks. The IP address is used exclusively for these purposes and is not merged with other data sources. The log data is regularly deleted.

Use of Matomo Analytics

This website uses the open-source software Matomo Analytics for statistical analysis of visitor access. The software is installed on servers of OMCnet in Germany – the same location where this website is hosted. No data is transferred to third parties or abroad.

Matomo is operated in a data protection-friendly configuration:

• No cookies are used.

• Your IP address is completely anonymized so that no conclusions can be drawn about individual people.

• Tracking across multiple page views does not take place.

The information generated in this way is used exclusively for the technical and content optimization of our website. Personal data is not processed. Therefore, this processing is not subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

For more information about Matomo Analytics, please visit: matomo.org, Wikipedia.

Transfer of data to third parties and service providers

As a general rule, your personal data will not be passed on to third parties unless you have expressly consented or there is a legal obligation to do so.

We use technical service providers to operate this website, particularly for hosting (e.g., OMCnet). These service providers act exclusively within the scope of contract processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR and are contractually obligated to process your data only in accordance with our instructions.

In addition, in individual cases, data may be passed on to government agencies as required by law, for example for criminal prosecution or to avert danger, provided that there is a corresponding official order.

Data security

Our website is hosted on servers operated by OMCnet in Germany. Data processing takes place exclusively within the European Economic Area (EEA).

To protect your data from loss, manipulation, unauthorized access, or other misuse, we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR. These include firewalls, antivirus solutions, and manual and automated backup concepts. Our security measures are regularly reviewed and further developed in line with the state of the art.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email or forms) may be subject to security gaps despite all precautions. Absolute protection of data from access by third parties is technically impossible.

Use of YouTube components with enhanced privacy mode

elektro-paul-neumann.de uses components (videos) from YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave., 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, a company of Google Inc., Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

We use the "enhanced privacy mode" option provided by YouTube. When you visit a page that contains an embedded video, a connection to the YouTube servers is established, and the content is displayed on the website by sending a message to your browser.

According to YouTube, in "enhanced privacy mode," only data is transmitted to the YouTube server, specifically which of our websites you visited when watching the video. If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, this information will be assigned to your YouTube account. You can prevent this by logging out of your account before visiting our website.

To comply with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), YouTube videos are blocked by default on this website. Instead, a placeholder with a notice appears. Only after you actively consent will the corresponding video be loaded and a connection to YouTube's servers established. This decision is stored locally for the current browser session (session storage), so that the content is displayed immediately upon subsequent page access, as long as the session is active.
