We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note regarding the responsible entity:
The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:
Serenity and Sky
Melanie Pluppins
Johannes-Stauss-Str. 14/1
72474 Winterlingen
Phone: 015251395342
Email: pluppins.melanie@gmail.com

The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage duration:
Unless a more specific storage duration is specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, provided we have no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place once these reasons cease to exist.

General information about the legal bases for data processing on this website:
If you have given your consent to the processing of your personal data, we process such data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or Art. 9(2)(a) of the GDPR if special categories of data are processed pursuant to Art. 9(1) of the GDPR. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) of the GDPR. If you have given your consent to the storage of cookies or access to information on your terminal device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing also takes place on the basis of § 25(1) of the Telemedia Act (TTDSG). The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if required to fulfill a legal obligation based on Art. 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. Data processing may also occur based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The relevant legal bases for each individual case are provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Note on data transfer to the US and other third countries:
We use tools from companies based in the US or other non-secure third countries. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that these countries may not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, US companies are obligated to disclose personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action against this. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.

Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(e) OR (f) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, INCLUDING PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING, INCLUDING 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 DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
In the event of violations 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 infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Information, correction, and deletion
Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose and for further questions regarding personal data, you can always contact us.

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restriction of processing exists

In the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data has been or is being carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
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 processing your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have filed an objection according to Art. 21(1) of the GDPR, a balance must be made 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 processing your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may – apart from their storage – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, 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 a Member State.

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, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. 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 activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to promotional emails:
The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby rejected. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

Data collection on this website:
Cookies:
Our website uses so-called „cookies.“ Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until automatic deletion by your web browser occurs. Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services provided by third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services). Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are necessary from a technical perspective since certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are required for electronic communication processes, for the provision of certain functions desired by you (e.g., shopping cart function) or for the optimization of the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and similar technologies, the processing is carried out exclusively based on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG); the consent can be revoked at any time. You can configure your browser settings to be informed about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance

For example, after the completion of processing your request. Mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

Inquiry via email, telephone, or fax
If you contact us via email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data provided (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not disclose this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) if your inquiry 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 effectively processing the inquiries directed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after the completion of processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.

5. Social Media
Social media elements with Shariff
This website uses elements from social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr). You can usually recognize the social media elements by the respective social media logos.

To ensure data protection on this website, we only use these elements in conjunction with the so-called „Shariff“ solution. This application prevents the transfer of your personal data to the respective provider of the social media elements when you first visit the page.

Only when you activate the respective social media element by clicking on the corresponding button will a direct connection to the provider’s server be established (consent). Once you activate the social media element, the respective provider will receive information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you are simultaneously logged into your respective social media account (e.g., Facebook), the respective provider can associate your visit to this website with your user account.

Activating the plugin constitutes consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) German Federal Data Protection Act (TTDSG). You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.

The use of this service is intended to obtain the legally required consent for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

6. Newsletter
Newsletter data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data will not be collected or will only be collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not disclose it to third parties.

The processing of the data entered into the newsletter subscription form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the „unsubscribe“ link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. After unsubscribing from the newsletter distribution list, your

email address will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider and, after unsubscribing from the newsletter or when the purpose of storage no longer applies, it will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion, within the scope of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After unsubscribing from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if necessary, to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interests and our interests in complying with legal requirements for the sending of newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

7. Plugins and Tools
YouTube with enhanced data protection
This website incorporates videos from YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the extended privacy mode does not necessarily exclude data transfer to YouTube partners. Thus, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network, regardless of whether you watch a video.

When you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. This informs the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). This allows YouTube to obtain information about visitors to this website. These pieces of information are used, among other things, to capture video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud.

Additional data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers.

This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If consent has been obtained, processing will be based solely on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, to the extent that consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Google Fonts (local hosting)
This site uses Google Fonts for the consistent display of fonts, provided by Google. The Google Fonts are installed locally, and there is no connection to Google servers.
