3. general notes and mandatory information

Data protection

The ope­ra­tors of the­se pages take the pro­tec­tion of your per­so­nal data very serious­ly. We tre­at your per­so­nal data con­fi­den­ti­al­ly and in accordance with the sta­tu­to­ry data pro­tec­tion regu­la­ti­ons and this pri­va­cy poli­cy.

When you use this web­site, various per­so­nal data is coll­ec­ted. Per­so­nal data is data that can be used to iden­ti­fy you per­so­nal­ly. This pri­va­cy poli­cy explains what data we coll­ect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what pur­po­se this is done.

We would like to point out that data trans­mis­si­on over the Inter­net (e.g. when com­mu­ni­ca­ting by email) may be sub­ject to secu­ri­ty vul­nerabi­li­ties. Com­ple­te pro­tec­tion of data against access by third par­ties is not pos­si­ble.

Note on the responsible body

The con­trol­ler respon­si­ble for data pro­ces­sing on this web­site is:

Frank Schmidt-Staub
Spe­cia­list in psych­ia­try and psy­cho­the­ra­py
Spe­cia­list in neu­ro­lo­gy
Oster­feld­damm 105
30627 Han­no­ver

Pho­ne: 0511 — 34052817
E‑mail: praxis-​schmidt-​staub@​online.​de

The 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, email addres­ses, etc.).

Storage duration

Unless a more spe­ci­fic sto­rage peri­od has been spe­ci­fied in this pri­va­cy poli­cy, your per­so­nal data will remain with us until the pur­po­se for data pro­ces­sing no lon­ger appli­es. If you assert 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. reten­ti­on peri­ods under tax or com­mer­cial law); in the lat­ter case, the dele­ti­on will take place after the­se reasons no lon­ger app­ly.

Note on data transfer to the USA

Among other things, tools from com­pa­nies based in the USA are inte­gra­ted on our web­site. If the­se tools are acti­ve, your per­so­nal data may be trans­fer­red to the US ser­vers of the respec­ti­ve com­pa­nies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third coun­try within the mea­ning of EU data pro­tec­tion law. US com­pa­nies are obli­ged to dis­c­lo­se per­so­nal data to secu­ri­ty aut­ho­ri­ties wit­hout you as the data sub­ject being able to take legal action against this. It can the­r­e­fo­re not be ruled out that US aut­ho­ri­ties (e.g. secret ser­vices) may pro­cess, eva­lua­te and per­ma­nent­ly store your data on US ser­vers for sur­veil­lan­ce pur­po­ses. We have no influence on the­se pro­ces­sing acti­vi­ties.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons are only pos­si­ble with your express con­sent. You can with­draw your con­sent at any time. The lega­li­ty of the data pro­ces­sing car­ri­ed out until the revo­ca­ti­on remains unaf­fec­ted by the revo­ca­ti­on.

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

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of brea­ches 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 place of the alle­ged inf­rin­ge­ment. The right to lodge a com­plaint is wit­hout pre­ju­di­ce to other admi­nis­tra­ti­ve or judi­cial reme­dies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we pro­cess auto­ma­ti­cal­ly on the basis of your con­sent or in ful­fill­ment of a con­tract han­ded over to you or to a third par­ty in a com­mon, machi­ne-rea­da­ble for­mat. If you request the direct trans­fer of the data to ano­ther con­trol­ler, this will only take place if it is tech­ni­cal­ly fea­si­ble.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryp­ti­on for secu­ri­ty reasons and to pro­tect the trans­mis­si­on of con­fi­den­ti­al con­tent, such as orders or inqui­ries 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.

If SSL or TLS encryp­ti­on is acti­va­ted, the data you trans­mit to us can­not be read by third par­ties.

Information, deletion and correction

Within the frame­work of the appli­ca­ble legal pro­vi­si­ons, you have the right at any time to free infor­ma­ti­on about your stored per­so­nal data, its ori­gin and reci­pi­ent and the pur­po­se of the data pro­ces­sing and, if neces­sa­ry, a right to cor­rec­tion or dele­ti­on of this data. You can cont­act us at any time at the address given in the legal noti­ce if you have fur­ther ques­ti­ons on the sub­ject of per­so­nal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data. To do so, you can cont­act us at any time at the address given in the legal noti­ce. The right to rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing exists in the fol­lo­wing cases:

  • If you dis­pu­te the accu­ra­cy of your per­so­nal data stored by us, we gene­ral­ly need time to check this. You have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data for the dura­ti­on of the review.
  • If the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data was/​is car­ri­ed out unlawful­ly, you can request the rest­ric­tion of data pro­ces­sing ins­tead of era­su­re.
  • 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 dele­ti­on.
  • If you have lodged an objec­tion pur­su­ant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balan­ce must be struck bet­ween your inte­rests and ours. As long as it has not yet been deter­mi­ned who­se inte­rests pre­vail, you have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data.

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

4. data collection on this website

Cookies

Our Inter­net pages use so-cal­led “coo­kies”. Coo­kies are small text files and do not cau­se any dama­ge to your end device. They are stored on your device eit­her tem­po­r­a­ri­ly for the dura­ti­on of a ses­si­on (ses­si­on coo­kies) or per­ma­nent­ly (per­ma­nent coo­kies). Ses­si­on coo­kies are auto­ma­ti­cal­ly dele­ted at the end of your visit. Per­ma­nent coo­kies remain stored on your end device until you dele­te them yours­elf or they are auto­ma­ti­cal­ly dele­ted by your web brow­ser.

In some cases, coo­kies from third-par­ty com­pa­nies may also be stored on your device when you visit our web­site (third-par­ty coo­kies). The­se enable us or you to use cer­tain ser­vices of the third-par­ty com­pa­ny (e.g. coo­kies for pro­ces­sing pay­ment ser­vices).

Coo­kies have various func­tions. Many coo­kies are tech­ni­cal­ly neces­sa­ry, as cer­tain web­site func­tions would not work wit­hout them (e.g. the shop­ping cart func­tion or the dis­play of vide­os). Other coo­kies are used to eva­lua­te user beha­vi­or or dis­play adver­ti­sing.

Coo­kies that are requi­red to car­ry out the elec­tro­nic com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on pro­cess (neces­sa­ry coo­kies) or to pro­vi­de cer­tain func­tions that you have reques­ted (func­tion­al coo­kies, e.g. for the shop­ping cart func­tion) or to opti­mi­ze the web­site (e.g. coo­kies to mea­su­re the web audi­ence) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless ano­ther legal basis is spe­ci­fied. The web­site ope­ra­tor has a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the sto­rage of coo­kies for the tech­ni­cal­ly error-free and opti­mi­zed pro­vi­si­on of its ser­vices. If con­sent to the sto­rage of coo­kies has been reques­ted, the coo­kies in ques­ti­on are stored exclu­si­ve­ly on the basis of this con­sent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR); con­sent can be revo­ked at any time.

You can set your brow­ser so that you are infor­med about the set­ting of coo­kies and only allow coo­kies in indi­vi­du­al cases, exclude the accep­tance of coo­kies for cer­tain cases or in gene­ral and acti­va­te the auto­ma­tic dele­ti­on of coo­kies when clo­sing the brow­ser. If coo­kies are deac­ti­va­ted, the func­tion­a­li­ty of this web­site may be rest­ric­ted.

If coo­kies are used by third-par­ty com­pa­nies or for ana­ly­sis pur­po­ses, we will inform you about this sepa­ra­te­ly in this pri­va­cy poli­cy and, if neces­sa­ry, request your con­sent.

Server log files

The pro­vi­der of the pages auto­ma­ti­cal­ly coll­ects and stores infor­ma­ti­on in so-cal­led ser­ver log files, which your brow­ser auto­ma­ti­cal­ly trans­mits to us. The­se are

  • Brow­ser type and brow­ser ver­si­on
  • Ope­ra­ting sys­tem used
  • Refer­rer URL
  • Host name of the acces­sing com­pu­ter
  • Time of the ser­ver request
  • IP address

This data is not mer­ged with other data sources.

This data is coll­ec­ted on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The web­site ope­ra­tor has a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the tech­ni­cal­ly error-free pre­sen­ta­ti­on and opti­miza­ti­on of its web­site — the ser­ver log files must be recor­ded for this pur­po­se.

Contact form

If you send us inqui­ries via the cont­act form, your details from the inquiry form, inclu­ding the cont­act details you pro­vi­de the­re, will be stored by us for the pur­po­se of pro­ces­sing the inquiry and in the event of fol­low-up ques­ti­ons. We will not pass on this data wit­hout your con­sent.

This data is pro­ces­sed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is rela­ted to the per­for­mance of a con­tract or is neces­sa­ry for the imple­men­ta­ti­on of pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­su­res. In all other cases, the pro­ces­sing is based on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the effec­ti­ve pro­ces­sing of the inqui­ries addres­sed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your con­sent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been reques­ted.

We will retain the data you pro­vi­de on the cont­act form until you request its dele­ti­on, revo­ke your con­sent for its sto­rage, or the pur­po­se for its sto­rage no lon­ger per­ta­ins (e.g. after ful­fil­ling your request). Man­da­to­ry sta­tu­to­ry pro­vi­si­ons — in par­ti­cu­lar reten­ti­on peri­ods — remain unaf­fec­ted.

Request by e‑mail, telephone or fax

If you cont­act us by e‑mail, tele­pho­ne or fax, we will store and pro­cess your inquiry, inclu­ding all per­so­nal data (name, inquiry), for the pur­po­se of pro­ces­sing your request. We will not pass on this data wit­hout your con­sent.

This data is pro­ces­sed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is rela­ted to the per­for­mance of a con­tract or is neces­sa­ry for the imple­men­ta­ti­on of pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­su­res. In all other cases, the pro­ces­sing is based on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the effec­ti­ve pro­ces­sing of the inqui­ries addres­sed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your con­sent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been reques­ted.

The data you send to us via cont­act requests will remain with us until you ask us to dele­te it, revo­ke your con­sent to sto­rage or the pur­po­se for data sto­rage no lon­ger appli­es (e.g. after your request has been pro­ces­sed). Man­da­to­ry sta­tu­to­ry pro­vi­si­ons — in par­ti­cu­lar sta­tu­to­ry reten­ti­on peri­ods — remain unaf­fec­ted.

When you call up a page, your brow­ser loads the requi­red fonts into your brow­ser cache in order to dis­play texts, fonts and sym­bols cor­rect­ly. For this pur­po­se, the brow­ser you are using must con­nect to Font Awe­so­me’s ser­vers. This gives Font Awe­so­me know­ledge that this web­site has been acces­sed via your IP address. The use of Font Awe­so­me is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the uni­form pre­sen­ta­ti­on of the type­face on our web­site. If a cor­re­spon­ding con­sent has been reques­ted (e.g. con­sent to the sto­rage of coo­kies), the pro­ces­sing is car­ri­ed out exclu­si­ve­ly on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the con­sent can be revo­ked at any time.

If your brow­ser does not sup­port Font Awe­so­me, a stan­dard font will be used by your com­pu­ter.
