2. GENERAL NOTES AND MANDATORY INFORMATION

Data Protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very

seriously. We handle your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data

protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you

can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it

for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g., communication by email) may have

security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not

possible.

Note on the Responsible Party

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Anna Nickisch, fotografie@annaschuch.de

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the

purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible

with your express consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. For this

purpose, an informal email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the

revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of

data protection law, the person concerned has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent

supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority on data protection issues is the data

protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based. A list of data protection officers

and their contact details can be found at the following link:

SSL or TLS Encryption This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the

transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator.

You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser’s address line changing from “http://” to

“https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third

parties.

Information, Blocking, Deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have

the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin

and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, a right to rectification,

data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint.

Objection to Advertising Emails

operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited

sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

3. DATA COLLECTION ON OUR WEBSITE

Cookies

Our internet pages sometimes use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your

computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help make our offering more user-friendly, effective,

and secure. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after

your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow

us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the placement of cookies and allow

cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general,

and activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit

the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are required for the electronic communication process or for providing certain

functions you request (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The

website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and

optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your

browsing behavior) are stored, they are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in

so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

- Browser type and version - Operating system used - Referrer URL - Hostname of the accessing

computer - Time of the server request - IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a

contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form,

including the contact details you provide, will be stored with us for the purpose of processing the

inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore based solely on your consent

(Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal email

to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation

remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you request its deletion, revoke your

consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after your inquiry has

been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain

unaffected.

4. ANALYSIS TOOLS AND ADVERTISING

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The

provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies.” These are text files stored on your computer that enable

an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of

this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a

legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its web offering and its

advertising.

IP Anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. As a result,

your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other

contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the

USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and

shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to

evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide further

services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted

by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

accordingly; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this

website to the full extent. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie

and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the
