Data Privacy

GENERAL

Stories of a World is responsible for data processing, email: info@stories-of-a-world.de

This data protection declaration is intended to inform the users of this website about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator. The website operator takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal regulations. As new technologies and the constant further development of this website can make changes to this data protection declaration, we recommend that you read the data protection declaration again at regular intervals. Definitions of the terms used (e.g. “personal data” or “processing”) can be found in Art. 4 DSGVO.

ACCESS DATA

We, the website operator or website provider, may collect data on access to the website based on legitimate interest (see Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) and save it as “server log files” on the website server. The following data are logged:

  • Visited website
  • Time at the time of access
  • Amount of data sent in bytes
  • Source / reference from which you came to the page
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used
  • IP address used

The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g. abuse cases. If data have to be saved for reasons of evidence, they are excluded from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified.

In order to protect your data from unwanted access, we use an encryption process on our website. Your information will then be transferred from your computer to our server and vice versa via the Internet using 128-bit TLS encryption (Transport Layer Security) (note, we recommend at least TLS 1.2 encryption). You can recognize this by the fact that the lock symbol is closed on the status bar of your browser and the address line begins with https: //.

RANGE MEASUREMENT & COOKIES

This website uses cookies for pseudonymized range measurement, which are transmitted either from our server or the server of third parties to the user’s browser. Cookies are small files that are stored on your device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website. If you do not want cookies for range measurement to be stored on your end device, you can object to the use of these files here:

Cookie deactivation page of the European website: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!%2F

Common browsers offer the setting option of not allowing cookies. Note: There is no guarantee that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if you make the appropriate settings.

If you write a comment on our website, this can be your consent to save your name, email address and website in cookies. This is a convenience feature so that if you post another comment, you won’t have to re-enter all this data. These cookies are stored for one year.

When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data and only refers to the entry ID of the article that you have just edited. The cookie expires after one day.

COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

The website operator only collects, uses and passes on your personal data if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the data collection. Personal information is all information that serves to identify you and which can be traced back to you – for example, your name, email address and telephone number. You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. By anonymizing the data, conclusions about your person are not possible.

When visitors post comments on the website, we collect the data that is displayed in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and user agent string (this identifies the browser) to help detect spam .

An anonymized string (also called hash) can be created from your email address and given to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. The data protection declaration of the Gravatar service can be found here. After your comment has been approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Posts on this website may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, pictures, posts, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third party tracking services and record your interaction with this embedded content, including your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to this website.

If you have written a comment, you can request an export of your personal data from us, including all data that you have given us. You can also request the deletion of all personal data that we have stored about you. This does not include the data that we have to keep due to administrative, legal or security-related needs.

Visitor comments could be examined by an automated spam detection service.

HANDLING CONTACT DATA

If you contact us as the website operator through the contact options offered, your details will be saved so that they can be used to process and answer your request. The entry of personal data (name, address, age, contact details) via the contact form or via email inquiries is voluntary. All transmitted data will be treated confidentially and will not be passed on to third parties. The data required for an inquiry or an order is stored until the order or the inquiry has been processed.

DELETION OF DATA

If you write a comment, it is saved indefinitely, including metadata. In this way, we can automatically recognize and release follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

If your request does not conflict with a legal obligation to store data (e.g. data retention), you have the right to have your data deleted. Data stored by us will be deleted if they are no longer required for their intended purpose and there are no statutory retention periods. If deletion cannot be carried out because the data is required for permitted legal purposes, data processing is restricted. In this case, the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes.

RIGHT TO OBJECT

Users of this website can exercise their right to object and object to the processing of their personal data at any time. If you would like a correction, blocking, deletion or information about the personal data stored about you, or if you have any questions regarding the collection, processing or use of your personal data or if you want to revoke your consent, please contact the following email address : info@stories-of-a-world.de.
