PRIVACY POLICY.

1. Introduction
This website is operated by: Elsen Mediadesign.
It is very important to us to handle the data of our website visitors with confidence
and to protect them in the best possible way. For this reason, we make every effort
to comply with the requirements of the GDPR
In the following, we explain how we process your data on our website. We use the
clearest and most transparent language possible so that you really understand
what happens with your data.

2.General information

2.1Processing of personal data and other terms
Data protection applies to the processing of personal data. Personal data means
all data with which you can be personally identified. This is, for example, the IP
address of the device (PC, laptop, smartphone, etc.) in front of which you are
currently sitting. Such data is processed when 'something happens to it'. Here, for
example, the IP is transmitted from the browser to our provider and stored there
automatically. This is then a processing (according to Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR) of
personal data (according to Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR).
These and other legal definitions can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.

2.2 Applicable regulations/laws - GDPR, BDSG and TTDSG
The scope of data protection is requlated by laws. In this case, these are the
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) as a European regulation and the
BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) as a national law.
In addition, the TTDSG supplements the provisions from the GDPR as far as the
use of cookies is concerned.

2.3 The responsible
The person responsible for data processing on this website is the controller within
the meaning of the GDPR. This is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly
with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
You can reach the responsible person under:
Elsen media design
Grazer Damm 129
12157 Berlin Schöneberg
sve.elsen@gmail.com

2.4 This is how data is basically processed on this website
As we have already established, there are data (e.g. IP address) that are collected
automatically. This data is mainly required for the technical provision of the
homepage. If we use personal data or collect other data, we will inform you about
it or ask for your consent.
Other personal data you share with us consciously.
You will find more detailed information below.

2.5 Yours Right
The GDPR provides you with comprehensive rights. These are, for example, the
free information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal
data. You can also request the correction, blocking or deletion of this data or
complain to the competent data protection supervisory authority. You can revoke
your consent at any time.
You can find out in detail what these rights are and how to exercise them in the
last section of this Privacy Policy.

2.6 Data protection - Our view
Data protection is more than just a chore for us! Personal data is of great value
and careful handling of this data should be a matter of course in our digitalized
world. In addition, you as a website visitor should be able to decide for yourself
what "happens" to your data, when and by whom. Therefore, we undertake to
comply with all legal provisions, collect only the data necessary for us and, of
course, treat them confidentially.

2.7 Disclosure and deletion
The transfer and deletion of data are also important and sensitive topics.
Therefore, we would like to briefly inform you in advance about our general
approach to this.
A transfer of data only takes place on the basis of a legal basis and only if this is
unavoidable. This may be the case in particular if it is a so-called Data Processor
and a Data Processing Agreement has been concluded in accordance with Art. 28
GDPR.
We delete your data when the purpose and the legal basis for processing cease to
exist and the deletion is not contrary to any other legal obligations. A 'good'
overview of this is also provided by Art. 17 GDPR.
For further information, please refer to this Privacy Policy and contact the
responsible person if you have any specific questions.

2.8 Hosting

stored on the hoster's servers. This is on the one hand the automatically collected

provision of our website and serves in this context the fulfillment of contracts with

Section 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar as consent includes the storage of cookies or

defined by the TTDSG.

obligation and acts as our Data Processor, which means that it is subiect to our

provides for the following possibilities in Art. 6 (1) Sentence 1:

a)The data subject has given his/her consent to the processing of personal
data concerning him/her for one or more specific purposes;
b) the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the

respective processing.

3.6 Third-party content

4. This is also important
Finally, we would like to inform you in detail about your rights and how you will be
informed about changes in data protection requirements.

4.1 Yours Rights in detail

4.1.1 Right to information according to Art. 15 GDPR
You can request information about whether your personal data is being processed.
If this is the case, you can request further information about the type and manner
of processing. A detailed list can be found in Art. 15 (1) a) to h) GDPR

4.1.2 Right to rectification according to Art. 16 GDPR
This right includes the correction of inaccurate data and the completion of
incomplete personal data.

4.1.3 Right to deletion according to Art. 17 GDPR
This so-called 'right to be forgotten' gives you the right, under certain conditions, to
demand the deletion of personal data by the controller. This is generally the case if
the purpose of the data processing has ceased to exist, if consent has been
revoked or if the initial processing took place without a legal basis. You can find a
detailed list of reasons in Art. 17 (1) lit. a to f GDPR. Furthermore, this "right to be
forgotten" corresponds with the obligation of the controller under Art. 17 (2) GDPR
to take appropriate measures to bring about a general erasure of the data.

4.2 Right to restriction of processing according to Art. 18 GDPR
This right is subject to the conditions set out in Art. 18(1) (a) to (d).

4.2.1 Right to data portability according to Art. 20 GDPR
Here, the basic right to receive one's own data in a common form and to transfer it
to another data controller is regulated. However, this only applies to data
processed on the basis of consent or a contract pursuant to Art. 20 (1) (a) and (b)
and to the extent that this is technically feasible.

4.2.2 Right of objection according to Art. 21 GDPR
In principle, you can object to the processing of your personal data. This applies in
particular if your interest in objecting outweighs the legitimate interest of the
controller in the processing and if the processing relates to direct marketing and/or
profiling.

4.2.3 Right to "decision in individual cases" according to Art. 22 GDPR
In principle, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on
automated processing (including profiling) which produces legal effects vis-à-vis
vou or similarly significantly affects you. However, this right is also subject to
restrictions and additions in Art. 22 (2) and (4) GDPR.

4.2.4 Other rights
The GDPR includes comprehensive rights to inform third parties whether or how
you have asserted rights under Art. 16, 17, 18 GDPR. This, however, only insofar
as this is also possible or feasible with a reasonable effort.
At this point, we would like to inform you once again of your right to withdraw your
consent in accordance with Article 7 (3) of the GDPR. However, this does not
affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out up to that point.
In addition, we would like to inform you about your rights according to §$ 32 ff.
BDSG, which, however, are largely congruent with the rights just described.

4.2.5 Right of appeal according to Art. 77 GDPR
You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority if you
consider that a processing of personal data concerning you infringes this
Regulation.

5. What if tomorrow the GDPR is abolished or other 
changes take place?
The current status of this Privacy Policy is 10/31/2023. As soon as we change this
Privacy Policy, we will inform you about it on our website.
