Privacy Policy

1. An Overview of Data Protection

General Information

The following notes offer a brief overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data that can be used to personally identify you. Detailed information on data protection can be found in the full Privacy Policy below.

Data Collection on This Website

Who is responsible for data collection on this site?
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. The operator’s contact details are provided in the section “Information on the Responsible Party” below.

How do we collect your data?

  • Part of the data is provided directly by you—for example, data you enter in a contact form.
  • Other data is collected automatically or with your consent by our IT systems when you visit the site; this mainly comprises technical data (e.g. browser, operating system, time of page access) and is collected automatically as soon as you enter the website.

Why do we use your data?
Some data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website; other data may be used to analyse user behaviour. Where contracts are initiated or concluded via the website, the data you submit is also processed for quotations, orders or other enquiries.

What rights do you have regarding your data?
You have the right at any time—free of charge—to obtain information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You may also request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given consent to data processing, you may withdraw that consent at any time with future effect. Under certain circumstances you may also request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
Additionally, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. For these or any other data-protection questions, you may contact us at any time.

2. Hosting

We host our website with:

IONOS SE
Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany

When you visit our website, IONOS collects various log files, including your IP address. Details can be found in the IONOS Privacy Policy:
https://www.ionos.de/terms-gtc/terms-privacy

The use of IONOS is based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the reliable presentation of our website). If consent has been requested, processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG (consent to store cookies or access information on the user’s device). Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

3. General Information and Mandatory Disclosures

Data Protection

The operators of this site take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data-protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) may have security gaps; complete protection of data from third-party access is impossible.

Information on the Responsible Party (Controller)

Daniel Rotter
Tonweg 6
71397 Leutenbach, Germany
Phone: +49 (0) 7195 2092315
E-mail: kontakt@differencemedia.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.

Storage Duration

Unless a specific storage period is mentioned in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate deletion request or withdraw consent, your data will be deleted unless other legally permissible reasons (e.g. tax or commercial retention periods) require storage; in that case, deletion occurs after these reasons cease to apply.

Legal Bases for Data Processing

  • Consent: Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR (or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR for special categories); Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR for transfers to third countries; § 25 (1) TDDDG for cookies/device access.
  • Contract performance / pre-contractual measures: Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR.
  • Legal obligation: Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR.
  • Legitimate interest: Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR.
    The specific legal basis used in each case is explained in the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

We transfer personal data to external parties only if necessary for contract fulfilment, if legally obliged, if we have a legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR) or if another legal basis permits the transfer. Where processors are used, data is transferred only under a valid processing agreement; for joint processing, a joint-processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many processing operations are possible only with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent at any time via an informal e-mail. The lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Data Processing in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Art. 6 (1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time; this also applies to profiling. We will then cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time; this also applies to profiling related to such advertising (Art. 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority

In the event of GDPR violations, data subjects may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority—particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. This right exists irrespective of any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data we process automatically, based on your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, in a common, machine-readable format, or to have it transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.

Right of Access, Rectification and Erasure

Within the framework of statutory provisions you have the right at any time to free access to your stored personal data, its origin, recipient and purpose of processing, and—where applicable—the right to rectification or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose.

Right to Restrict Processing

You may request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This right exists if:

  • you contest the accuracy of the data (for the period of verification);
  • processing is unlawful and you oppose erasure;
  • we no longer need the data but you require it for legal claims;
  • you have objected under Art. 21 (1) GDPR and a balance of interests is pending.
    Where processing is restricted, such data may—apart from storage—be processed only with your consent or for legal claims, protection of another person’s rights or reasons of important public interest.

SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect confidential content (e.g. enquiries), this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. A secure connection is indicated by the address line switching to “https://” and the padlock icon. When SSL/TLS encryption is active, transmitted data cannot be read by third parties.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Enquiries by E-mail, Telephone or Fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your enquiry—including all personal data (name, enquiry)—is stored and processed for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent.
Processing is based on Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR (contract or pre-contractual measures) or, in other cases, on your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR) and/or our legitimate interest in effective enquiry handling (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR).
Data you send via contact enquiries remains with us until you request deletion, withdraw consent, or the storage purpose lapses (e.g. after your request is completed). Mandatory legal provisions—especially retention periods—remain unaffected.
