Relevant Legal Basis

Relevant legal bases under the GDPR: The following is an overview of the GDPR’s legal basis for processing personal data. Please keep in mind that, in addition to the GDPR standards, your country of residence or seat may have its data privacy laws. We will notify you in the privacy statement if more particular legal bases are appropriate in individual circumstances.

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz – BDSG), we process personal data based on the following legal grounds: Consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose; Contract performance and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR) where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or for carrying out pre-contractual measures; Legal obligations (Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR) if processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject; and Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) where processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or those of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Additionally, the BDSG provides specific national regulations for data protection in Germany, including but not limited to the processing of special categories of personal data, rights to information, and rights to objection.

Data Protection Officer

Suppose you have any queries or concerns about the processing of your information that is available with us. In that case, you may email our Data Protection Officer at Mina Lukic Web Design, Franz-Ehrlich-Str. 12, email: thatgirlstock@gmail.com. We will address your concerns in accordance with applicable law.

International Data Transfers

In alignment with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), our commitment to protecting your personal data extends beyond the borders of the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). This includes the transfer of personal data to countries outside of the EU/EEA, notably to service providers in the United States or other jurisdictions not deemed by the European Commission to have an adequate level of data protection. To safeguard your personal information in these instances, we employ stringent security measures such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or rely on the European Commission’s adequacy decisions where applicable. These precautions are taken to ensure that your data is handled with a degree of protection consistent with the standards set by the GDPR. We may disclose your personal information to fulfill legal obligations, enforce our agreements, or address claims related to the use of our services. In cases of corporate restructuring, such as mergers or acquisitions, we ensure the secure and compliant transfer of your information to the new entity, upholding the principles outlined in this policy and under GDPR guidelines.

Security

The security of your information is important to us, and we will use reasonable security measures to prevent the loss, misuse, or unauthorized alteration of your information, which is under our control. However, given the inherent risks, we cannot guarantee absolute security, and consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. You do so at your own risk.

Data Breach Notification

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we are committed to protecting your data and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your personal information. In the unlikely event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the appropriate supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, unless the breach is unlikely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms. We will also communicate any such data breach to the affected data subjects without undue delay, particularly if the breach could result in a high risk to your privacy or personal data. Our notification will include information about what happened, the data involved, the potential impact on you, and our actions to address the breach and mitigate its possible adverse effects. We have established comprehensive procedures to handle data breaches effectively, including measures to minimize the risk of future occurrences. This commitment ensures that our practices are in full compliance with GDPR requirements, emphasizing our dedication to data security and the protection of your privacy.

Payment procedure

Our website uses WooCommerce to facilitate e-commerce activities, including processing purchase payments. For secure payment processing, we have integrated PayPal and Stripe, reputable payment service providers.

Additional Information on Data Processing

Google Analytics GA4

We use Google Analytics GA4, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), to collect, monitor, and analyze web traffic and to track behavior on our website. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. You can opt out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page.

Google Fonts

We incorporate the fonts (“Google Fonts”) provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required fonts directly from Google to display them correctly on your device. This request makes your IP address visible to Google, which could be used in accordance with their data privacy policy.

Data Collection and Hosting Services

Our website is hosted on WP Engine, a platform providing web hosting and management services. WP Engine collects and stores logs that include data such as IP addresses and access times when users visit our site. This information is used for operational and security purposes, ensuring the integrity and availability of our website. For more detailed information on WP Engine’s data handling practices, please refer to their privacy policy.

Newsletter Subscription – Mailpoet

Subscription to Our Newsletters

On our website, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletter through an online form managed by Mailpoet, a newsletter subscription service. Mailpoet collects personal data, such as email addresses, which are used to send newsletters to subscribers who have expressly consented to receive them.

Double Opt-In and Logging

The subscription to our newsletter requires a double opt-in procedure: after subscription, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary to prevent anyone from subscribing to email addresses that do not belong to them. Subscriptions to the newsletter are logged to prove the subscription process according to legal requirements. This includes the storage of the subscription and confirmation time, as well as the IP address.

Statistical Surveys and Analyses

The newsletters contain a so-called “web beacon,” a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the Mailpoet server when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval, are initially collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of services based on technical data or target audiences and their reading behavior, as well as their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or access times.

Data Protection Measures

We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. We have entered into a data processing agreement with Mailpoet, in which we require Mailpoet to protect our customers’ data and not to disclose it to third parties.

Right to Withdraw

You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time, i.e., revoke your consent. A link to unsubscribe from the newsletter can be found at the end of each newsletter. If users have only subscribed to the newsletter and have unsubscribed from it, their personal data will be deleted.
