Collection and processing of personal data

Contact form

If you use my contact form, I collect the data you provide (e.g., name, email address, phone number, and your message). I use this data exclusively to process your enquiry and do not share it with third parties without your explicit consent.

Legal basis:
Processing is carried out on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time by contacting me by email.

Storage period:
I store your data only for as long as is necessary to process your enquiry.

Server log files

When you visit my website, information is automatically stored in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits to my hosting provider. This data includes:

  • Page visited
  • Date and time of the server request
  • Browser type and version used
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
  • IP address

This data is used exclusively to ensure the smooth operation of the website and is not merged with other data sources.

Legal basis:
Processing is carried out on the basis of my legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Hosting

My website is hosted by dogado GmbH, Antonio-Segni-Straße 11, 44263 Dortmund, Germany.

The hosting provider processes personal data (e.g., IP addresses in server log files) to ensure the secure and stable operation of the website.

A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded with the provider.

Cookies

My website uses cookies to improve the user experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that contain information about your activities on my website.

Types of cookies:
  • Essential cookies: These cookies are required for my website to function properly.
  • Convenience cookies: If you fill out a form on my website, we may store your name, email address, and website in cookies so you do not have to enter this information again. These cookies remain stored for one year.

You can disable cookies in your browser. Please note, however, that this may limit some functions of my website.

Embedded content from other websites

Posts on my website may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited that other website directly.

Such websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking services, and record your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account there and are logged in.

Who I share your data with

Your data will not be shared with third parties without your consent unless I am legally obliged to do so.

How long I store your data

I store personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purpose of processing it or as long as statutory retention obligations apply.

You have the right to:

  • Obtain information about the data I have stored.
  • Request correction or deletion of your data.
  • Request restriction of the processing of your data.
  • Withdraw your consent to data processing at any time.
  • Lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your data violates the GDPR.

Please contact me by email at post@paulpaulsen.de to exercise your rights.

Where your data is sent

Data entered via the contact form remains on the servers of my hosting provider. It is not transmitted to third parties.

Visitor comments (if enabled) may be checked by an automated spam detection service.

SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. This means that data you transmit to me cannot be read by third parties.
