3. General and required information

Data protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and process it in line with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy statement.

When you use this website, various items of personal data are collected. Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. The purpose of this privacy statement is to specify the type of data we collect and to explain what we use it for. It also outlines how we do this and what the purpose is.

Please note that the transmission of data online (in the form of email communications, for example) may involve security issues. It is impossible to guarantee that data is secured 100% against access by third parties.

Information on the controllers

The controllers for processing data collected on this website are:
Stefanie Baumann & Renée Weil
Occupational therapists
Nowackanlage 15
76137 Karlsruhe

Tel.: +49 (0) 721 – 35 98 06
Email: info@ergotherapie-karlsruhe.de

Controller means the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses or other similar data).

Withdrawing your consent to data processing

Many processes that involve data processing are only possible with your express consent. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time once you have provided it. Simply send us an informal email letting us know that you would like to withdraw your consent. The lawfulness of data processing prior to this point is not affected by your withdrawal of consent.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have the data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or for the purpose of fulfilling a contract provided to you or a third party in a commonly used and machine-readable format. If you request for your data to be transferred directly to another controller, we will only be able to do so if it is technically feasible.

SSL and TLS encryption

For security reasons and to safeguard the transmission of confidential information which you send to us as the website operator (for example orders or inquiries), this website uses SSL and TLS encryption. You can tell that a connection is encrypted if “https://” changes to “https://” in your browser’s address box. A padlock icon should also appear in your browser bar.

When SSL and TLS encryption is activated, third parties are not able to read data which you send to us.

Access, blocking, erasure

Within the scope of the valid statutory provisions, you have the right to request information — at any time and free of charge — about your personal data which is stored, about its origin and the recipients, and about the purpose for which it is processed, and to request that this data be rectified, blocked or erased as appropriate. If you have any questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at the email address provided in the legal notice.

Objection to promotional emails

Use of the contact details which we are legally obliged to publish as part of the legal notice to send us unsolicited advertising or information is hereby expressly prohibited. The website operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event that unsolicited advertising information, for example in the form of spam emails, is received.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, which permits data processing for the purpose of performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Cookies

Some of the pages on our website use cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and they do not contain viruses. We use cookies to help us make our website more user-friendly, efficient and secure. Cookies are small text files that are downloaded onto your computer and stored by your browser.

We mostly use session cookies, which are automatically deleted once you have left our website. Other cookies will be stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognise your browser the next time you visit the website.

You can adjust the settings on your browser so that you are notified about cookies being stored. You have the option to only allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, to accept cookies in certain cases, to not allow cookies as a general rule or to set your device to automatically delete cookies whenever you close your browser. Please note that if you deactivate cookies, you may not be able to take advantage of the full functionality of this website.

Cookies that are required for electronic communications or the provision of specific functions requested by you (e.g. the shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies in order to ensure that their services are provided optimally and without any technical issues. In the event that other cookies (e.g. cookies used to analyse your browsing behaviour) are stored, these will be covered separately in this privacy statement.

Contact form

When you send us inquiries via our contact form, we will store the information that you provide via the form, including your contact details, for the purpose of processing your inquiry and handling follow-up questions. We will not pass these data on to third parties without your consent.

We process the data which you provide via the contact form solely on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time. Simply send us an informal email letting us know that you would like to withdraw your consent. The lawfulness of data processing prior to this point is not affected by your withdrawal of consent.

The data which you provide via the contact form will be stored by us until you request that they be erased, until you withdraw your consent to this data being stored, or until the purpose for which the data is stored no longer applies (e.g. once your request has been fully processed). Any mandatory statutory provisions — in particular retention periods — will remain unaffected by this.
