The protection of personal data is very important to me.

Accordingly, I try to follow the principle of data minimization to the best of my knowledge and belief and wherever possible use software that enables a high level of data protection (e.g. for video conferencing or website analysis).

When you use this website, personal data may be collected. Personal data is data by which you can be personally identified (see article 4 GDPR).

I treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with this privacy policy and the legal data protection regulations. This privacy policy explains which information is collected, how it is collected and for what purpose it is used.

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?

The data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator, Dr. Katharina Salffner. You can find my contact details on the page legal notice.

How are your data collected, which data are collected and what are they used for?

Your personal data are collected when you provide it to me, e.g. via the contact form. This could be your name or contact information. This data is used exclusively for the purpose of contacting you and carrying out our cooperation.

As soon as you visit this website, further information is collected which, however, is not personal due to technical specifications:

The Content Management System (CMS) of this website sets a so-called session cookie. This is technically necessary to ensure error-free provision of the website, i.e. for your use of this website. Personal data is not collected, stored or tracked.

To analyze website usage by visitors, I utilize Matomo. The Matomo settings are configured by me in such a way that no personal data is collected. You can find more information about Matomo below in this privacy policy.

What rights do you have regarding your personal data?

You have the right to request the deletion or correction of your personal data at any time.

How long will your data be stored?

Your personal data will remain with me until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless I have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted after these reasons cease to apply.

General information on the legal framework for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, I process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 (1) GDPR.

If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, I process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfilment of a legal obligation, I process it on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. c of the GDPR.
Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out on the basis of my legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. F of the GDPR.

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries or contact details that you send to me as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

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

Hosting

The content of this website is hosted by uberspace (uberspace, Kaiserstr. 15, 55116 Mainz). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster's servers.

The external hosting is done for the purpose of contract fulfilment towards my potential and existing customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of my online offer by a professional provider (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

My hoster will only process your data to the extent that this is necessary for the fulfilment of its service obligations and will follow my instructions with regard to this data.

Analysis and tracking tools

Matomo Analytics is used to analyze the number of visits to this website and the usage behavior of visitors to this website.

This analysis software is installed locally on the same server as this website. Third-party providers therefore have no access to this data.

Matomo is configured to analyze this website in such a way that users cannot be identified. For example, the IP number is masked by two bytes and users are additionally pseudonymized.

tl;dr - too long; didn't read

In short: no personal data is automatically stored or tracked here. Only if you submit a contact form or send an email on your own initiative will your data be stored and processed for the purpose of communication and cooperation.

If you notice an error in this privacy policy, I would be happy to receive constructive feedback. Thank you very much.
