Reference to the responsible body

The person responsible for data processing on this website is

Uwe Riemeyer

Marienburger Street 35-37

42277 Wuppertal, Germany

Telephone: +49 (0)202 271690

E-mail: mail@intermediapartners.de

The data controller is 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, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Storage period

Unless a more specific retention period is specified in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will be kept by us until the purpose for which the data was processed no longer applies. If you make a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the data will be deleted after these reasons no longer apply.

Note on data transfer to the USA

Among other things, our website integrates tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. Please note that the USA is not a safe third country under EU data protection law. U.S. companies are required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action. It is therefore possible that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing activities are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH THE PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING, INCLUDING THE CREATION OF PROFILES IN RELATION TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(2) OF THE GDPR).

Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of a breach of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged breach. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to obtain the communication to you or to a third party of data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, in a commonly used machine-readable format. If you request the data to be transferred directly to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security purposes and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests, that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the information you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, Deletion and Correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information free of charge about the personal data stored about you, its origin and recipient, as well as the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, the right to correct or delete this data at any time. You can contact us at any time with regard to this and other questions concerning personal data.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal information held by us, we will generally need time to review it. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request that the processing be restricted instead of erased.

If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its deletion.

If you exercise your right according to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

Once you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may only be processed - except for its storage - with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Objection to promotional e-mails

The use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation by third parties for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertisements and information materials is hereby expressly prohibited. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of receiving unsolicited advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the necessary web fonts into your browser cache in order to display text and fonts correctly.

This requires your browser to connect to Google's servers. In this way, Google knows that this website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the consistent presentation of the font on its website. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent for the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 par. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

If your browser does not support web fonts, your computer will use a default font.
